NATURE REPUBLIC 

Smart Eye Dark Capture Patch

ReviewIt's been ages since i last updated myself, been really busy lately with my work and its consuming my time every week, no time to go online because after work i sleep right away!.

during work i would always have  mirror beside me so i can at least always look at my face and see if changes are happening.And yes, being awake all night gave me eye bags, and its alarming because i dont like looking at them! so I tried something from Nature Republic! its my first time to use smart eye and don't know what it'll benefit me.

I bought them some weeks ago but was only able to use them last Saturday because of the hectic schedule I've been having.I think the smart eye patch works just like any face mask, i cant read Korean thank god for the pictures! you actually put it in your eyes (like duh) and leave it there for 30-40 minutes.

I was very excited to use this product! and unexpectedly this product is actually pretty convenient and not a hassle. there's actually 2 sticky sheets per pack to be place under the eye for 30 to 40 minutes. whats's nice about this is it different from wearing face masks, when you are wearing face masks your facial movements is restricted, and as much as possible you have to lie down for 20 minutes before removing the face mask. but with this product, its actually nice because its really sticky and well, not really the right word, slimy. its a glossy sheet with a fabric-ish material inside that is not irritating to the face. you can do anything you want while this product is in your eyes, rather than lying down. its only a bit itchy when you look down or close your eyes! 

So there my day was spent like any normal days but with a patch on my eyes and its actually not irritating to the eyes as well because there no particular scent and it has a cooling effect that really relaxes the area around the eyes! and i actually left it on my eyes more than an hour just because I loved the feeling!.

   In my line of work, its really important to take care of myself and not look like a walking zombie. after removing the sheets though i still yet have to see promising effects! but i would advice those who wants to use this product to not rely much on it. its still important to drink lots of water & plenty of rest!

my overall rating for starter use: 7.5/10

what i loved about this product:

-feels good on the skin

-no scent, not irritating

-cooling effect

-convenient in a way that my movements is not restricted

-the glossy sheet with the fabric thingi inside & the sticky liquid on it

what I don't like about this product:

-my lower lashes itch when i close my eyes or look down

Outtakes~ smart eye dark capture patch is actually available at all Nature Republic outlets for P138.00 comes with a free facial wash if you purchase 4 pcs. ;D

OFFICE FASHION

HOW DEEP CAN YOU GO?

SUGAR DADDY

Its called a Foulard. everybody is familiar with this print/scarf. I don't know when, but I think it was probably popularized by Versace back when Gianni Versace was still alive. for me personally I have always been fascinated by this print, I called foulard a print instead of a scarf, because of how I have recognized it. A foulard always has a rope, chains, and gold stuffs as it's print, and it's a lightweight silk or silk cotton. I dunno, but there is something about foulard that has always fascinated me! probably because I grew up seeing them a lot! I remember,on Sunday's my mom or Lola would wear a padded silk foulard top to church and i would be fascinated looking at the beautiful silky prints of ropes, angels, & chains, sometimes its even anchors!. I stop seeing Foulard scarfs & dresses when i was in High school. it was nowhere to be found. If ever i see one, it was the elderly who would wear them going to church. It was recently when I started studying Fashion Design that I promised myself to have a collection of Foulard! but over the years I forgot about foulard. heres proof of how much I love foulard, a picture of the so called "Cruise Collection" I made back in 08.

So a few weeks ago I was checking bigbangupdates.com, well, to get updates on BigBang when I saw the promotional shoot for Still Alive. FOULAAAAARDDDD OVERLOAADDDD!!! 

Bigbang In 10Asia Star Magazine  This is not the first time I saw Bigbang wearing Foulard, back in 09 G-Dragon was the Modern Genie In Vogue Korea. In this picture his wearing a foulard pants. 

And also this year. Lady Gaga herself was wearing Versace on her MV "Edge Of Glory". below she's wearing a vintage Foulard Versace. and just recently Lady Gaga has been spotted wearing a lot of vintage Foulard Versace! you should find it when you google it.  So yes, foulard is not on the mainstream (thank god!) but a lot of individuals are spotted wearing them. and this season I'm obsessed with Foulard!. as usual, I'm a person who is not a slave to trends. I'm not gonna wear something just because everybody is wearing them. I wear what I wanna wear. and this season I'm channeling the Sugar Daddy look! starring Foulard!. It's hard to look for Foulard stuffs though! even though you can find Foulard scarfs on the Super malls, the quality is crappy. Vintage Foulard's are the best. 

I started hunting last Sunday at thrift stores! unfortunately I only found 2 Garments! super hard to find! but when you find one they are super cheap X3 . Below is one of the first garments i found. I love it!

And look what faith has given me. I found a Vintage Versace Jeans Couture! its a JEANS COUTURE!!!! a totally hard to find Versace!! and its my size! XS! thank you Gianni Versace T^T

"VERSACE JEANS COUTURE"

And here is the root of my Foulard Obsession. It all started last week on a Bazaar outside our office. there was Japan Surplus Bazaar and I bought a couple of cute stuffs at a superrrrr cheap price! then i found this 2 silk scarfs that was somehow familiar to me as I remember seeing them a lot back when i was a child(first & second from the right).  and there BOOM! I started hunting for Foulard. 3rd from right is also bought from a thrift shop while the one from the far left is bought at a department store with crappy quality.

 

Details So this season will be "Sugar Daddy" fashion for me. how about you?
