Review: LIKES Papaya soap

Likes Papaya soap

I`ve never liked tan skin, not for myself anyway. I know everyone in my family are very tan, always in the sun. I try and avoid it, because 10 minutes in the sun and I start to get color.

The other night at work, I was talking with my co-worker Diana, originally from the Philippines, she`s been living in Canada for about 3 years now. Her and I were talking about skincare and cosmetics, mostly Korean ones, and how in Asia they`re obsessed with whitening products, while here it`s mostly about anti-aging and wrinkles, as well as trying to become darker. I have to admit, I have such a hard time finding normal serums for hydration and whitening.

During our conversation, I mentioned how I wanted to be paler, and that the night before I bought Rice Day soap online, but mentioned how I wanted to get Papaya soap but was worried about the drying factor that I`ve heard about it.

Right away she started telling me about how it works and how she can buy me some, I told her that the only place I could buy it was online for around 10$ a  bar. But she told me there was a Pilipino shop just around the corner from our work! (Talk about covenant)

The next day when dad picked me up, I went and bought myself two bars, 5.25$ a bar. So I got two for the price of one, if I would have gotten it online.

I don`t think I will use this one my face, because I have extremely sensitive skin, and sense this is drying, I don`t want it to dry out my face, only recently I found a regiment that works, and I haven't dried out for almost 3 months now. I don`t want to wreck it now, considering I`ve gone about two years with harsh dry patches of my face. I know I`m already pretty pale, next to my family members I glow, but I was to be like a porcelain doll.

Box: Front and Back

Bar: Front and Back

A little about Likes: This is a natural soap that helps to lighten your skin tone. It is made from Papaya, hence the name. Papaya is very high in vitamin C and enzymes, when applied to the skin, papaya enzymes help to eat away dead skin, reviling healthy new cells under, which will help to brighten your skin.

I will be using this on my body, mostly my neck and armpits, sense their different color then the rest of my body. My arm pits are very VERY dark, they look unhealthy, almost black in a way, I have tried everything to change that, I clean then well, always scrub with soap and water and a cloth, I have gotten them waxed, and I take very good care of them, but no matter what they stay the same sickly looking way, and I`m deathly embarrassed by them, I really hope this will lighten them.

My skin: Taken in early morning, before sun came up, Lamp light 7am.



(Lamp gives off a yellow cast >.< )

How to use: Wet your skin, be it body or face, lather up a generous amount to the area you want to use it in, massage well, and let it sit for AT LEAST THREE MINUTES (if you want to see any results you have to let it sit on your skin for at least this long)

Packaging: Personally I could care less about how packaging looks, though I know it matters to allot of people. I don`t like, nor hate this packaging, though I think it fits the product well. Why have the packaging outside the diamond inside?

Overall: 5/10

Scent: Very nice mild fruit scent, not unpleasant at all, so even the most sensitive nose should be able to handle this.

Overall: 7/10

Texture: once in a lather it feel much thicker than most soaps, which I find good, you get a lot with little use.

Overall: 8/10

Effectiveness: I have been using mine in the shower a few times a week, (so far three) and when I get out of the shower, my neck and chest look so nice and bright, though I don`t think I`ll see any real results until a good two or three months of use.

Overall: 7/10

Side Effects: I will admit, when I first some out of the shower, my skin does feel tighter, though it only last for about 5 minutes, soon after everything feels fine.

I will continue to use this for the next couple of months, along with my RiceDay Soap when it arrives, and I will do a follow up review to show you guys the results of this product.

I have a lot of new stuff to review, so I should post again soon

Till next time, Talk to you guys later.

Circle Len Review: Princess Mimi Grey

I havn`t posted in forever, and here I said I would, well I guess it`s better late then never, lately there has been alot of problems happen in my life, I wont go into detail about them. The world can be depressing enough without my help. If anything I would rather brighten someones day, and maybe this might help. I know it`s not much, but its something.

My very first review, and I`ve choosen to review a new set (Of my all time fav) Circle lens. I bought a new pair, cause my old ones had expired. From: HONEYCOLOR ( http://www.honeycolor.com/ )

They finally arrive, and within a week too, from how it looked, I thought it would take up to a month to get here (Canada). I was so happy when I got them. And a few hours before work too! So I was able to have them sit so I could wear them before going.

Color/Design 10/10: I love the design, and they blend wonderfully with my natural Grey/green eyes. My boyfriend hates when I cover up my eyes with my contacts, but these are his fav because he can still see my color under them.

Comfort 8/10: The first day I started wearing this set, I was at work for event night, and my eyes started burning so I took them out, and my eyes only burned worse, so I don't think it was because of these lens, I'm sure it was because of the mascara I was wearing. I had just started wearing a heavier kind.
Though the next time I put them in, a day or so later, they felt fine, after a few minuets I could hardly tell I was wearing anything at all. And I can wear these up to 7 hours (I know you shouldn't wear them for so long) without having to use eyedrops.

Enlargement 8/10: In the sample picture it doesn't look like too much of a difference but these make my eyes big and beautiful. I wouldn't mind larger though.
Price 8/10: affordable, 5$ for shipping, all togehter I think I paid 24.99$ (canada currency)

Overall 8/10: I know from personal exprince how hard it is to find a nice lens that is natural and blends with my natural color, cause I don't quite suit, green, blue, or grey, you can always tell I'm wearing something if you look close enough. With these no one ever notices them, other then the size that gives them away. If your looking for a nice pair, nice color, good enlargment, and price, I recommend these.

The only compaint I have is this ugly contact case, I know some people say these are cute, but I hate not being abel to see my contacts while inside. I never know if their sitting right, and this case is a pain in the ass when trying to get my contacts out!

Hope this helps someone in choosing a new pair of lens. Let me know what you guys think of my first review. If I talked too much, or didn't give enough detail about the items.

Be back soon with more, I promise this time. <3

A whole Month later... UPDATES

First things first, sorry I haven't posted at all over this past month, I feel like I am off to a bad start as a Gyaru, or a inspiring one, I don`t think I can really call myself Gyaru yet. Hopefully one day I can.

And Also thank you to the ten followers I have <3, sorry I'm so boring right now, I promise after my trip I will try and post more exciting stuff on here.

 I`ve been so busy this past month, I`ve been working like crazy in order to have lots of spending money for when I go up to see my sisters in Calgary, on the 21th to the 29th.

I was hoping to have 1500$ to spend, but I ended up getting really sick, lost my voice, and missed 3 full shifts, so I`m only going to have about 1300$ to spend, :(.

Well I`m good with money, I`ll make it work.

So I will be heading up there soon, I can`t wait to see her <3, But I'm sad, I'm going to miss Dan so much :( I know it's just a week, but I don't want to be away from him for that long. But at least I can buy him some stuff that I think will look sexy on the beast.

Funny story, about Dan, My friend Danielle-Rose and Alex saw him with me for the first time when him and I went shopping (They both work at the mall we went to), even though we've been going out for about 4 months now. And both of them told me, that from behind I look like his daughter.

I'm 5'2, and he's 6'3 He's a whole foot taller! lol That's ok though <3 I feel safe with him.

Anyway, enough of my love-sick-puppy talk!

I hope to pick up some more circle lens while I'm up there, as well as just a few normal and fun contacts to wear and use for different looks. Accessories, and of corse clothing and make up.

I need to check out Forever21, everyone keeps telling me to go there.

Anyway, hopefully I can fine my camera cord and charge my Digi before I go. In the mean time, Enjoy me trying to look like Tsubasa

(I wish lol)

Giving it a First try...

My friend Alex and I went to a small con in town, I thought it would be a great chance to give being Gyaru a try, sadly I had to work that day and come strait from the con to work until closing, So I couldn`t go all out with it.
I didn`t do much for make up different from my everyday besides some lashes (My first time putting them on too, I feel so proud) And conturing to my nose, but sadly you can`t see it all that well.
And to make it worse, you could see through my white shirt a little, so I had to wear a blue one under and it made the entire thing too well, dumb.
Anyway, I know it`s not perfect, but hopfully I can get better.

I understand well in what areas I need improvment, (all) And hopfully soon I`ll have time off work to to more of it.

How to Start....

I thought that today, sense I was more motavated from having a good weekend, that I would go a head and start my blog.
I guess I can consider myself a mix of Western Gal and Ulzzang. I love make-up, though I`m not the most fashionable, I hope I can become more so, but when your a larger girl, it`s hard to do. I`m new, and still learning, and hopfully I can do my best at improving.

This blog will focus on:
Make-up/Looks
Fashion
Life
Product reviews
Advice
Hopfully it will prove better then I am making it sound, heres to new starts....
