After a very long hiatus...


Owkie...It's been months and months of me taking a hiatus from blogging here...a lot have been happening with my life (the break up, the make up, and another break up)....I start to think to take a long hiatus in relationship (just a thought ;-))

and now...I'm totally living up my single life...and trying my best to enjoy every  bit of it, and most importantly focusing on my job....having a good relationship with my job and for once not have to worry about a man.

So, yeah...relaaax I'm not gonna pour my heart out here (it's kinda old), but I have tons of beauty + hair products to reviews AND some movies to reviews...yay!

xo,
Kiki ;)

Movie Night: "When In Rome (2010)"



What I love about Sunday, Star Movies Asia always come up with new movie...and tonight, "When In Rome" is on!! Perfect gloomy weather, homemade cooking, and perfect romantic-comedy movie ;).

"When In Rome" starring Kristen Bell, and Josh Duhamel. Basically it's a light romantic movie with predictable ending...but still charming, and cute to enjoy on sunday night when you don't feel like 'digesting' heavy plot-line kinda movie...haha, thats soooo me :P

This is the Trailer...

CLARISONIC MIA: The Review...

I've been waiting the moment to finally write about it! And Today is the perfect time...(well, actually I meant to wrote about it last week, but My work got in a way and I became super lazy...rrriiiggghtt haaha :P)

So! I wrote about the Clarisonic last month, and how I finally decided to get one and I did from SkinTerra.com (They have a great deal on it, think you should check the site). Anddddd...I got my 'Clarisonic Mia' after around 16 working days (you know International shipping sucks! grrr), Anyway I got it on December 1st, and has been using it religiously for a month now...so now I'm doing the review about it, woohoo! ;)


Here's My Week to Week Review....

- First Week: I've been using it 2 times a day, in the morning and at night for 1 minute (20 secs on the forehead, 20 secs on EACH cheeks, and 20 secs on the nose and shin area), The Result after using it: I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE THE RESULT!! Why??? From the very first time using it, I feel my skin super super cleaned! Just like the feeling when you finished your facial at the salon...NO KIDDING!! I have oily skin and acne prone skin...and it didn't broke my skin, I clean my face with my own cleansing gel (I don't use the one that comes in the box).

- Week 2:  I got breaks out pretty baaadddd...WHY??? It's because I'm having TOO much fun on using it, the manual says to clean the entire face for 1 MINUTE ONLY, and because I was soooo excited on the result, I added 1 more minute (just thought I might get better results on my face)...Then I ended up having a crazzzzyy break out on my chin area. 

- Week 3:  Because of the breaks out, my skin got irritated...so I decreased the twice a day using to every other day (and I got back to 1 minute ONLY...and not 2 minutes, blah!). The Results: The Breaks out GONE GONE...and I starts to see the size of my visible pores on my cheeks are shrinking, and my old chicken pox and acne scars are finer...SUPER HAPPY! :)

- Week 4: Now I am back on using it 2 times a day, and so far my skin is fineee and loving it! I can feel the difference on cleaning up my face with the Clarisonic and without it. I can feel the skincare products that I'm using now absorbs better because my pores are clean and unclogged...I don't think I want to wash my face the old way again! hehehe ;)

PRO's:
- It's a MUST HAVES tool...If you love your skin so much, and spending too much getting a facial twice a month, you should saving up and get this! It's a GREAT INVEST! :)
- If you wear make up everyday but too lazy to wash your face like me! This is the good reason to get up in the morning to wash your face or at night after long day makeup...because using it is sooo easy and fun and you can feel the difference :).
- If you travel a lot, The Clarisonic Mia is the perfect size because its smaller than the Classic one (and, YES it's cheaper!).
- The Brush head must be replaced every 3-4 months, and you can choose the brush head based on your skin needs and conditions (Normal, Sensitive, or Delicate)



CON's:
- It's quite expensive compares to any similar tools...So I suggest you, If you're not sure or still in doubt, to read or google as many informations about it or watch the testimonial video on you tube before buying it (I did that too! :)).
- The Clarisonic Mia only has 1 speed, compares to the Classic one that has 2 speed and beeps (to remind you to move to every other area of your face). The Mia retail for $149 and The Classic one is $195...
- You can't Share using it with someone, it's because of this tool goes to your face, and just like your toothbrush, you need it to always hygienic 'n clean.

Will you gonna repurchase this product??
- YES, I might gonna get one for my mom on her birthday, OR I might want to get myself the Classic one for everyday use and save my Mia for travel purpose only :P

That was it MY OWN PERSONAL REVIEW on the product...Hope you like it!

HAPPY HOLIDAY EVERYBODY!!!!! XOXO ;)

Movie Night: "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" (2009)



Tonight I'm in a mood for some action flick, and thankfully HBO played a good action movie...yay!! ;)

I never watched this movie before, because when this movie came out...one of my girls told me that the movie was not very good...So, yeah I never watched it, I bought the dvd but never really watching it...beside, I'm not a big fan of action-blood splatter-war movies (they give me nightmares...errrr)

So, yes I'm watching this movie for the first time and thinking this is actually pretty good...It's mild-action with sci-fi touch (3D stuffs and all). 
My Favorite character in this movie would be The black ninja guy "Snake Eyes", actually he's kinda sexy all wrapped up in black latex and holding a sword! hahaha...


Well, overall the movie is a good watch and entertaining. Interesting characters and just enough amounts of action to watch it with the whole family :). Happy watching guys, until next time!! xoxo

love,
Kiki ;)
