Q4. hi Eloisa Co, I want to know if I can color my hair after being rebonded last february 28. What type of Hortaleza professional coloring should I use for my hair, the crystal, the low ammonia or the regular? I want vibrant color but less damage:).

A4. My friend told me that we shouldn’t have our hair dyed after undergoing chemical treatment such as rebonding. The best (and safest) advice I can give you is to consult your hair stylist. I’m really sorry, that’s the only advice I can give you.

Q5. You post a lot of beauty product reviews! you seem rich! what do you do for a living?

A5. Oh no, I am not rich. In fact, I can’t afford to purchase expensive products such as chanel, dior, or the likes. I just graduated from college. All the products I have were either purchased using my allowances, given to me as a gift, purchased by my sister or sent by sponsors for review.

Q6. hi eloisa anong magandang concealer ang marecommend mo para sa eyebags at blemishes?

A6. For now, my HG concealer is from Mary Kay concealer. I’m in Beige 2.

HERE is the link of my review for MK Concealer.

Even Janica Buhain likes it too.

Q7. Can I order?

A7. Mary Kay products? I don’t sell MK Products. You can purchase it at RED JHELLI SHOP

A8. I use Etude House drawing eyebrow pencil and Etude Houseeyebrow gel.

Q9. HI maria, wanna ask where'd you buy your wet n wild megalast lippies?

A9. Got mine at SM Manila before but I’m afraid WnW is no longer available at SM Manila. Nevertheless, I checked their site to know the location of their shops. WnW is available at SM Department Store Makati, Manila, Fairview, Las Pinas, Mega A3 and Watsons Personal Care Store Gen Next Mall of Asia ( Ground Flr), Mega A3

Q10. Have you tried Revlon Matte, Colorburst or Lip Butter?

A10. I've tried Revlon Matte lipstick and colorburst. I don't like the formulation, I find it too drying for my taste. I haven't tried the Lip butters, though.

Q11. hi sis! kelan kaya kita ma-mmeet?! ^_^ ahahaha! Napadaan lng sa blog mo. Mmaya ulit :)) Tke Care always! God Bless! – Pham Mac

A11. Hi dear! Thank you for reading my blog!! <3 Maybe, next meet and greet! I’ll let u know when! Looking forward to meeting you.

Q12. Hi, just wanted to ask kung panu malalaman what shade ng foundation ang ok for the skin -Issa

A12. The best way is to test it out on your skin. Always look for natural lighting. Do not trust the store’s (false) lighting, it can be deceiving most of the time. You can try it out on your face then go outside and check if the foundation will look natural on you. If you’re a sensitive person, you can try swatching the foundation on your jawline.

Q13. Hi sis! Ask ko lng po wat BB cream can u recommend s acne-prone skin? As of now, I'm using Soothing BB cream available from Watsons kso prang ndi xa effective sken though light nmn ung feeling unlike foundation n ang kpal ng feeling s face. I've tried foundation before kso lge my break out and feeling ko umitim ung face ko.. Thank You Sis! Hope you can help me to decide which one is better for me....

A13. I had that same experience with foundation, especially for liquid foundation. If you’re acidic, get a shade lighter than your skintone.

My HG liquid foundation is from Mary Kay Time Wise Matte Wear Liquid Foundation (I’m in Beige 2 for NC 30). It doesn’t oxidize on me. However, the coverage is sheer to medium only. It can cake if you add too much layer (especially if you're using foundation brush). I use my Egg sponge to apply it. I had been using it for months already. I will definitely repurchase it.

For BB cream, since Luview Whitening BB Capsule is not available here (and pricey if you purchase it online), I recommend you to try Skin79 BB Cream (Hot Pink). It works really great on my skin.

*Remember: Each person is different. What works for me may not work for you. I won’t give you an assurance that it will work for you.

Thank you so much for those who asked me questions! Hope this help! Until the next Q and A!

Guest Post: 10 Beauty Resolutions a Busy Woman Can Actually Keep

I received a message (via email) coming from a reader of mine. I think volunteering to be a guest blogger is one of the best things a reader could do for my blog. Thank you so much, Sarah! (Check her blog HERE) This post would definitely be helpful for all girls especially my lovely readers!

From Sarah:

Hi Eloisa :)

I am sure you get pitched on guest posts on a daily basis so I’ll keep this short. I am a long time reader of your blog and have been meaning to contribute – but I held back because I didn’t have a great idea that I think you’ll love.

Well, now I do. I stumbled upon an interesting topic about 10 Beauty Resolutions a Busy Woman Can Actually Keep. Would you be interested in a guest post about the topic?I know they will be of interest to your readers!

The article is attached in this email.

Stay Pretty,

Sarah Grace Villaflor

P.S. I really admire your character. Not all bloggers will promote collaboration rather than competition. :)

Without further ado, here Is Sarah’s article!

10 Beauty Resolutions a Busy Woman Can Actually Keep

Work. Family. Life. For most modern women, there are plenty of reasons not to maintain a beauty regimen as we get older and responsibility takes over. Other things are simply more important, and time becomes exceedingly precious. Who has hours each day to devote to her looks?

Unfortunately, this is also the exact time that we wish we could take better care of ourselves as a way to compete with what time – and life – have done to our bodies. That’s why we decided to put together this list of 10 things even a woman with little to no time can do to keep herself looking and feeling her best.

1. BUY YOUR HAIR A GIFT

No time for the salon? That doesn’t mean that you can’t treat your hair well. Next time, go for the expensive shampoo with all the fancy hair strengthening ingredients and moisturizers. It doesn’t take any more time, but healthier hair looks and feels better.

2. MOISTURIZE

Credit to: http://www.bestfacemoisturizer.net/

Most of us use facial cleaners and moisturizers every day, but we tend to neglect our bodies. Buy a good body moisturizer with at least SPF 15 and make applying it part of your daily routine either right after you get out of the shower each morning, or before you go to bed each night. Your skin will thank you.

3. FLOSS

Bet this is one you never thought of, but did you know that regular flossing can add years to your life? And, yes, it also helps to keep your teeth looking cleaner and shinier.

4. FACE MASK

No time to lie down? Put on your face mask once a week while you’re reading, cooking, or doing any number of things and you’ll be surprised by how little it bothers you.

5. DRY BODY BRUSH

The benefits (less cellulite, better digestion, tighter skin, dead skin removal) are just too good to pass up. Fit it into your routine right after you step out of the shower when you’re trying to figure out what to wear.

6. GET A NEW SCENT

Few things can make you feel prettier than a head-turning perfume. Even better, it takes no time at all to add a few spritzes each morning. Find a scent you love and go with it.

7. DRINK WATER

Simple, right? Actually, yes. Drinking eight glasses of water a day instead of all those artificially flavored beverages we put into our bodies helps with digestion, weight loss, skin tone – all kinds of things.

8. EAT LESS

Credit to: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1881795,00.html

You could try a million fad diets and still not reach the results that a simple truth will tell you: calories equal weight. Eat more, you gain weight. Eat less, you lose it. Try a calorie counting site like this one at About.com to not only keep track of calories, but make sure you’re meeting your daily nutrition requirements.

9. EAT FRESH

It shouldn’t be a surprise that the fewer unnatural chemicals we put into our bodies, the happier they are, but we’ve gotten so used to eating processed food that we forget. Whenever you can, try to buy freshly prepared meals or cook your own.

10. SUPPLEMENT

Skin moisturizing fish oils and other supplements can be great for women on the go who can’t spare time for a daily regimen. Simply pop the pill and go!

Etude House Playhouse 2012 and Ana's meet and greet!

I’m a ridiculous blogger, I know! Who would bring a “low-battery” camera on an event?! Well, I just did! I was really in hurry to go to the event that I grabbed the camera without checking the battery. Upon arriving at the event, I realized that my battery could run out at any minute soon! In short, I wasn’t able to take pictures of the event. Fail!

Anyway, here are some of our pictures (credit to: Ana, Abigail and Etude House) from the Etude House Playhouse 2012 event. I really enjoyed the fun games, workshop, freebies and most of all, the photobooth! You can check the pictures of the event of Etude House site HERE!
