Lash Perm

I recently got treated to a Lash perm by my friend as a early birthday gift.  To be honest I'm not a total beauty expert yet, but little minor detail of certain things make things appeals and looks better especially getting a lash perm.  As I gotten older I notice that my lashes droop downwards and it takes a while for me to curl my lashes and apply mascara.  I typically don't curl my lashes and apply mascara on a daily basis, because I just don't have that extra time each morning.  After having the lash perm, I can minimize the down time not having to curl my lashes and straightly apply on mascara.

Getting the lash perm wasn't so bad, in fact it was therapeutic and relaxing.  At first I youtubed some videos to see what this lash perm was all about and I was a bit concern and scared what they put on my eyes.  As I was lying there, the lady rubbed some ointment on my eyes, I realized the glue ointment was to seal my eye shut.  I kinda of got nervous and twitched my eyes a bit and told myself not to get nervous and clam myself down.  Later on she rubbed some more things and put a cold pack under my eye circles and this was the most relaxing part.  The estimated time was at least 45 minutes of getting both of my lashes done and I asked for a straight curl.  I'm glad I had an opportunity to try this out and certainly it does make some difference to your appearance.

Here's a pic of before and after result of getting my lashes perm:

My Influesnter Spring Fever Box

I recently received the Influenster Spring Fever Box.  I have to say I'm excited to try everything in this box.

This is what I received in my Spring Fever Box:

• Secret Outlast Clear Gel Antiperspirant Deodorant 
• NYC New York Color Applelicious Glossy Lip Blam 
• Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure 
• Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes 

The first thing I grabbed was the TastyKake Kandy Bar Kakes.  The cake was pretty moist and soft with peanut butter in between the cake bar.  I have to warn you though the hard shell chocolate can get messy, because it melts pretty fast when eating. I enjoyed eating every minute of it and I'm so tempted in getting a full box of this.  Also these cake bar makes a great snack for myself or for my daughter.

Also I have tried the Secret Outlast Clear Gel Antiperspirant Deodorant.  I like that it doesn't stain my clothes and that it's a clear gel that you can simply glided on easily because it's invisible solid.  I threw this in my gym bag and I love the fragrance of this.  Anyway have you tried the Spring Fever Box and what are your thoughts on receiving these items?

Ivory® 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash Review

Yesterday I had the opportunity to try this new Ivory® 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash.  I really like the idea that it's 2 in 1 cause you don't have to spend extra dollars on buying a separate body wash and shampoo. I like that it comes in just 1 bottle and also a great way to refill it in a small bottle and throw it in your gym bag for those who works out like me.  I really like the refreshing scent of this shampoo and body wash.  I can't make out the scent whether it's a floral scent, but it has a nice perfume scent that isn't overpowering at all.  This 2 in 1 is hair and body wash is pretty simple and it works perfectly well for me when I'm on a go after working out at the gym.  I'm so glad I had an opportunity to try this full size bottle through influenster.

Here's a description of what the bottle stated:

Ivory hair and body was cleans you from head to toe while leaving your hair conditioned.  It's as simple as that.

My Fashion Sense Part III

To be honest I don't really have a fashion sense at all when comes to shopping.  On my typical days I dress in my sloppy clothes that consist of a t-shirt, jeans and a hoodie.  I've been very lazy in dressing or glamoring up for myself cause my day is consist of picking up my little girl and working with kids.  I'm not sure if it's the comfortability factor that plays a role to it as I'm getting older.  I feel that the world can throw you off at times.  Society and friends can comes to role where we at times judging each others of how the way we dress and how we look. I dress up only when I'm in mood, but each day I always promise myself in dressing up more for myself.  I'm dressing up for myself, not what people or the society will think of me.  

I did some spring cleaning and try to minimize my wardrobe and try to wear what I have or mix and match some of the previous older clothes that I brought.  I recently also brought some tops and I notice that Horse prints has been very trendy and popular these days. I think horse prints are popular now after PSY created the Gangnam style song.  I also got a floral pink top for the summer.  These tops are able to mix and match from causal to a sophisticated events.  I have to admit, I've been having an itch and wanting to buy more clothes.  I always try to find an excuse or reasons of wanting to get a new items just to match with a certain look.

I find things that appeals to me more than the name brand.  I make sure that the quality is long lasting when I'm buying certain type of clothes. I used to work as a production coordinater at a fabric company.  I seen many fabrics that came into my office.  I studied and analyzed the fabric each time.  I also looks at prints/designs of how the pattern flows.

Also I rarely shop at high end brand name store.  I find things that are appealing and budget friendly to my wallet than the name itself. 

What do you look for when shopping?  Does name brand appeals to you more or the quality items appeals more to you?
