Beauty 101: L'Orèal White Perfect Facial Foam

With all the toxins, pollutions, and stress from my everyday commuter & hospital work-life, I know I've been too hard on my skin. For some months now, I only use facial wash (drugstore bought only!) to cleanse my face in the morning and before I hit the sack. I don't use facial moisturizers, toner, sunblock, or anything. And yes, I suck bigtime! Now I'm reaping the fruits of my laziness, the dullness and dryness of my skin is starting to bother me. Not to mention a few breakouts, which is very new for me since I have a let me say perf smooth facial skin since childhood, and some wanna-have-some-poppin whiteheads. Then came this very pasaway pimple right in the middle of my left cheek. It's horrible! The redness never went off even if it was few months ago since I popped it! By the way, I don't go for regular facials from the derma clinics because like what I mentioned earlier, I used to have a clear smooth facial skin.So as I was saying, this one pasaway pimple got me a noticeably red dot on the left cheek that's been sitting there comfortably for more than two months now. I started to worry because my sister's wedding will be in a month from now, my goal is to, at least, just fade away this dot because I know it's a little too late and impossible for it to completely disappear, it will take time! And effort! 

I was going gaga researching and reading articles over the net looking for facial wash or foam or anything-step-one to address my skin concerns on the face and yet I can't seem to find a good and yet affordable facial wash. Gladly, my guy friend told me that his facial complexion got better when he started to use L'orèal prods for men. And so I tried the brand. I went to the department store and was surprised that it was only Php199.00! Sounds a good find for my pocket! The texture of the cream is a bit heavy/thick which I think is good because it actually forms a thick foam when wiped on a wet face. Also, one tube will last longer (I compared it from my pervious facial wash) since you only need a very small amount of the product. (I dunno if explained it well? Forgive me, this is my first time doing a review! Hehe!)

It was my 2015!

CLOSING 2015

One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.

Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.

Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden?

You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened.

How I have Loved You

It will always be like a dream to me. Not in the sense that you were perfect—you barely were. It was a dream because it all happened so fast that I kept on doubting if it even happened. 

I will love you like I always did—in between spaces, under hushed tones, hidden behind promises of friendship and seemingly innocent words. I will love you like I did in our conversations—virtual yet completely memorable. For in those conversations, I bared my soul to you more than I did in any other heart-to-heart talk.

I will love you like December with its days full of anticipation intricately laced with the probability of disappointment. I will love you like summer. I will treat you as a break, an escape I am allowed to indulge in but will inevitablyhave to let go of.

You would always be a dream. You'd be the one I wanted to have but I thought I'd never deserve. You'd always be a "what if," a curious chance I never took.

And in the end, I will love you like hot chocolate on rainy days. You'd be sweet, nice, and warm, but never enough. While the rest of the world wants your company, I'd always be complaining about you being too sweet, too nice, and too warm—or just being too plain for me. I will always long for the bitterness, the buzz that you could never give. It will take me a while to finally find something that will make me stay but I will always love you.

I will always love you despite the failure in timing and every other aspect. I will love you. And when I see you, I will smile because I do love you, in the way that I can but not in the way you wanted me to. We could have been, but I'm even more thankful that we weren't. Because otherwise, I won't love you.

For what it's Worth

But of course, nothing is ever too late. We always have the means and the ways to do things, it's just a matter of strong will and courage to start and the perseverance to continue doing it as long as we want to. Nothing in this world comes for free and easy.
