Sparkly Eyes

Advertorial

Having had perfect eyesight since my first eyesight test (confirmed it), I've always taken my eyes for granted.

I only wear coloured contacts for purely cosmestic reasons, so I guess I don't really wear them often.

Whenever I do wear them however, I just spray some multi-purpose solution on them and flop them on. Remember how most multi-purpose solutions boast to be "No-rub"?

I’ve just received a bottle of Complete Easy Rub contacts solution by AMO (Advanced Medical Optics), and to my surprise, eye care practitioners everywhere have been advocating the Rub, Rinse and Soak regime for multi-purpose solutions!

See, this little frog understands:

(Watch it it's funny!)

Rubbing contact lenses is increasingly deemed as troublesome and so many people skip that step (including me), but it is actually one of the main factors responsible for unsightly eye infections!

And, caring for our eyes, Complete Easy Rub is the only multipurpose solution in the industry that actively encourage users to Rub, Rinse and Soak our contact lenses.

Not only does it prevent infections, it also will let you have healthier, brighter eyes - which as everyone knows is essential to attracting the opposite sex. Hahaha!! I mean, obviously nobody finds people with sore eyes or dull eyes attractive, right? Right.

AMO also taught me the correct steps to proper lens care,
and it’s actually not THAT hard!

You ready to revolutionize your contacts cleaning regime??!




Step 1:
Wash and dry your hands prior to handling your lenses.



Step 2:
Place 3 drops or more of Complete Easy Rub
solution on one side of the lens surface.



Yes I know I have 6 drops there.
You think so easy to take these photos ah???


Step 3:
Rub your lens gently from the centre
to the edges for at least 10 seconds.



(It looks like I am not doing it the right way here
but actually I was just preventing the contact from dropping,
and the camera caught the picture then.

Do it properly like instructed!)


Never rub in a circular motion,
because it may tear the lens and
not clean the outer edge surface.


Step 4:
Rinse both sides of your lens
for at least 5 seconds with the solution




Until they are sparkly like that! :D





Stick it in. Gently of course.

Or very roughly if you wish to blind yourself.




I know.

Not very sexually appealing picture.





Check for comfort.

Camwhore with new sparkly eyes!!

Store contacts in Complete Easy Rub solution for at least 6 hours after you take your them off!

Remember to use AMO Complete Easy Rub as it gives the COMPLETE protection for your eyes and keeps them safe from micro-organisms!

It's this one ah don't buy the wrong thing!

Sparkly isn't it??

(Ok lah it's photoshopped. But still!)

Manish Arora Swatches!

I came home today and my little black box was waiting for me at my apartment's office! Don't you love getting packages in the mail? I opened it up and oh my goodness! Even the packaging is sooo beautiful! MAC's Manish Arora collection sold out the same day it was released online, but I was lucky enough to get the eyeshadow palette, blush in Devil, and lipglass in Pink Manish! I'm really sad that I didn't get the rest of the lippies because I really wanted them all!


The boxes are amazing!


what's inside is even better! LOL the palette has these cute little heart shaped gems on it.




even the inside of the boxes had the prettiest designs!

On to the swatches...


L to R: Nylon, Going Bananas, Bitter, Playful, Electric Eel, Deep Truth


swatches without flash (sorry for the lighting it was like 5 in the afternoon)


swatches with flash


blush + lippie swatch no flash [look how pigmented the blush is!]

pink manish [middle] compared to sonic vibe [top] & pink poodle [bottom]

I was debating swatching because omg it just looked so pretty I didn't wanna mess it up! LOL I was thinking how great the eyeshadows will look with a base underneath! At first the lipglass looked really bright fuschia and I wasn't sure if I could pull it off but after comparing it to Pink Poodle it's really not that bad. Ahh MAC! You hurt my wallet. haha


Please excuse my face, but I was just wondering if I look weird with my hair like this?



I tried to cut my bangs and I messed up but the Hubby said I look ok like this but one of my friends say I don't! haha I'm really insecure about my head because I have a big forehead! This is why I've had bangs for the last 2-3 years! But IDK whatever!

Product Review: Neutrogena Wave + refills

Product: 5/5
Packaging: 4/5
Quality: 4.5/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4.1 out of 5
Price: $10 - $13 @ Drugstores

WHAT NEUTROGENA SAYS: "Neutrogena Wave™ is a battery-operated cleanser that's clinically proven to perform better than ordinary manual cleansers. At the click of a button, Wave's™ gentle vibrating motion massages tingly cleansing foam deep into pores to remove more dirt, oil and more make-up than ordinary cleansing. After just one use, Neutrogena Wave™ helps reveal softer, smoother skin. Best of all, Wave™ is gentle and easy enough to use every day—even in the shower." - neutrogena.com

PROS: It really does leave you with a tingly feeling! The vibrations really feel like it's getting deep into your pores and my skin really did feel softer right after. It's waterproof so you use it in the shower. It's small enough so you can take it with you (if you travel) and you can buy refill packs instead of buying another wave!

CONS: Sometimes I find using a traditional cleaner is faster and easier, and I wasn't too sure about having to buy refill packs every time I ran out. Another thing, I found that it took a while for the pads to foam up (I like my face foamy when I wash it lol) so I kind of felt like it was a waste of a pad if I didn't cleanse my face for a while!

COMMENTS: I LOVE that it's pink (yeah, I know that's just me!), but all in all I think it's a great cleanser. The refill packs are $6.99 for 30, which isn't that bad. There's a little attachment head with a velcro like thing on it that the cleansing pads adhere too, and I really liked how when I bought a refill pack, there was a replacement head too! That way your face germs don't end up getting through your new pads. =] I did feel like I had to cleanse for a while, but it's a good thing for my skin because it really does feel softer after! I would definitely buy the refill packs again!

PS If you haven't tried it you can get a $2 off coupon at neutrogenawave.com and if you've already tried it there's a $3 off refills coupon on neutrogena.com!

Busy busy!

I am editing photos lah, ok!

Go entertain yourself by watching old Guide to Life videos!

Meanwhile, here's a bigass photo to distract everyone.



I photoshopped the eyes to have the misty-eyed effect! Nice hor!!

MAC + Hello Kitty? It's TRUE! =]

It will be released February 2009, the anniversary for Barbie Loves MAC & Fafi! O my goodness, I need to start saving/preparing now because I'm going to have to buy the ENTIRE collection. X2! lol
