Tonymoly's Tomatox and Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub



Pamper me time!


I put on my Tomatox Magic White Massage Pack. This is one of Tonymoly's best-selling products. One would instantly fell in love with the packaging. I, for one, am a sucker for cute packaging. But this product packs quite a punch. It contains tomato extracts and vegetable ingredients that purify and brighten the skin. It has an amazing whitening effect but to be honest, its effect does not last that long. But it gives a refreshing feeling after using it so I couldn't complain that much hehe. There are already a lot of reviews regarding this product and there's nothing more that I can say. Overall, this product is a must try and for around 548 pesos, it's worth the price. Here is me with the mask on. lol :)


Next, I tried on Tonymoly's Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub (yep, that is its name) Did I say I'm a sucker for cute packaging? hehe It comes in a lip shaped container. So cute! This comes in 2 colors: pink for the scrub and red for the balm. I only bought the pink one and this is the first time that I've used it. I don't know how to use it properly. I just put it on my lips, scrub and massage it for awhile and then rinse my lips. I noticed my lips were smoother after using it. The texture of the lip scrub reminded me of St. Ives facial scrub with all that fine beads. It has this kinda sweet smell and taste? (no I didn't swallow it) or I was just imagining Mcdo's Berry McFlurry. hehe yum!

After all that, I feel refreshed and moisturized. 'Til next! ;)

The New 'Do

2 months had passed again without a single post..and then it's going to be 2012 in 39 days. so my New Year's resolution is to write more here in my blog..haha as if. But I really I want to..well I'll try harder this time :)

Anyway, I had a haircut yesterday. Actually, it wasn't really planned (ahem) but then I was getting effin tired of my dry hair (eek!) so I decided to have a haircut + treatment. I went to Bang's Tony & Jackey salon at SM North the Block branch. I was only carrying a thousand pesos. I wasn't able to withdraw (BPI was offline at that time). Anyway, I opted for their promo at 1k for haircut and treatment. The girl at the reception even tried to offer me the other promos at 3k but I firmly told her that I'll just get the 1k.

There were only a few customers at that time (around 1pm). They made me wait for a few minutes while the assistant was preparing the stuff. She then called me for shampoo and wash. After that, she assisted me to the seat. I had the hair treatment first. She put the cream all over my hair, put some plastic on and then the machine that will seal in the treatment. I think I was too close to the machine because even my face feels so hot. haha. It was like steaming. I was even wearing a cardigan and I had those salon capes on so I was sweating then (eww haha)

By the way, I was given a lookbook of hairstyles for me to choose. Hundreds of hairstyles to choose from for short, medium and long hair. Since my hair is shoulder length, I just chose on the medium length hairstyles. I pointed one style that I like to the assistant and she said she'll just tell the stylist afterwards. After a few minutes (I lost count), she removed the machine from my head and let my hair cool down. After that, my hair was washed again and then dried.

My stylist (Jason) approached me. He asked me what style do I want and I pointed to the one on the lookbook. He just asked how long do I want for my bangs and I told him to just copy the one on the picture. I had really no idea on how long do I want it hehe. So off he snipped and trimmed my hair. After trimming, he curled my hair using a curling iron. I feared that I won't look good with my new hair but after seeing the results, I love it! Next time, I'll have it permed. I was really happy and satisfied with their service and for the price, I think it's worth it.

What I love: this is the second time I've been to Tony and Jackey. I've been to their SM annex branch before but I've got to say that I love their branch at The Block more. It has a quieter atmosphere but then I guess it depends on the time that you go there. I also noticed that the assistant (I forgot to ask her name) was not so pushy on selling their stuff. She just offered to me to buy the treatment and do it at home instead of having it at a salon. But she wasn't like forcing me to buy it. So kudos to her! And my stylist, Jason, is good at cutting and styling hair. He can also understand English more. He can even say some few words in Filipino hehe. So overall, I enjoyed and best of all, love my hair! Thanks Tony & Jackey <3 Here's a pic of my new 'do. :)
