Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo: My New BFF!

My friend CD of Manila Fashion Observer swears by this product. She used this mostly after giving birth and doing gelai. 

Last Christmas, my brother bought me two bottles from Sephora. I just wanted to try it coz been having good hair days lately. I want to preserve it til the next day. But, fate has other plans... about to go on full bed rest again with minimal bathroom privileges, this until I give birth already. Oscar Blandi will be great for those in-between shower days.

I hope it lasts until my mom leaves again for the US this May. I've tried it several times, easy to use and love the look after. Hair smells lemon-y fresh too. 

It's also available here in the Philippines on Shopspot Online Shop.

More from Sephora! Violent Lips Temporary Tattoos

Just in time for Halloween for those who love to dress up in sexy costumes!

Glitter tattoo on your lips and out of your mouth. It has a smooth and glossy finish and vitamin-enhanced appliqués last from four to eight hours. Enough to last a night of partying and dancing.

Application is easy, sort of like how temporary tattoos for kids are applied. Easy to take out too, just wipe off with mineral or baby oil and a textured wipe. There's other colors too.

Although I wonder how you can eat with this on your lips...

Nails Inc. Magnetic Nail Polish

I saw this in Sephora's website and it got me curious... magnetic nail polish??? The nail polish itself is infused with particles that move to create a nail art effect using the magnet on the cap! I think it's awesome!

How does it work?

-Remove any oil from your nails by cleaning your nails with nail polish remover. 

-Take off the over-cap that contains the magnet and set aside. 

-There is an inner cap that you can use to apply the magnetic polish. 

-Apply one coat of your selected Nails Inc. base coat. 

-Then, apply one coat of your chosen magnetic polish on all 10 nails and let dry for a few minutes. 

-To create the "magnetic effect," apply a generous coat of magnetic polish to one nail, and immediately hold the cap that contains the magnet over the nail. (Do this quickly while the polish is still wet. There is a small lip on the cap which should be placed just below your cuticle allowing the magnet to be positioned perfectly over your nail.) Hold very close to the nail for 10-15 seconds, taking care not to touch the nail with the magnet. 

-Repeat on all 10 nails and apply a top coat to seal the design.

If you still can't picture how it works, here's an instructional video



I'm so into these kinds of innovations! Gosh, I wanna try this... it's just $16. Not bad!

Sephora + Monster Satchel

Sephora is always heaven for me. So many brands in just one store! Grabbed a few must-haves there while in Canada but still need to get some more things, will have to drop by again here in the US.

I ended up buying only two items coz my little boy was grabbing all the lipsticks and eyeshadows on display while screaming "Crayons! Crayons!". Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion and also Clinique Long Last Glosswear SPF15 in Fireberry. Both products I never see in the Phil. Well, there are sites selling Urban Decay but so expensive. Should get these too...

 Buxom lipgloss for the perfect pout!

dab a bit of this near the brow and above the apple of your cheek for highlight!

Nakakaloka talaga! And... my bro was toting this when he arrived to meet up with us here in Dallas!

my brother calls it a "monstrosity!"

It's my two-tone Cambridge ordered from ASOS. I had to explain to my mom what a satchel was but eventually she said she'll borrow it too. Yellow is her fave color! A-hah!
