BPI Bank yr 2013 Christmas Gifts for Depositors :)

Early this morning my parents and I went to BPI Muntinlupa City branch to open a Maxi Saver account. And guess what the tellers gave me a BPI tote bag and a colorful note pads. :) I was expecting to get an umbrella because that is their giveaways last December 2012 but I think I prefer to receive a bag or anything uncommon this year. 

They are giving bags and note pads only to depositors this December 2013. I think last day will be on Dec 24 or until stock last.










Advance Merry Christmas everyone! Enjoy your holiday vacation. :) 


Love Lots ,
Ann :) 


Review: Sophie Martin Paris Handbag Polish

Hi everyone!
Last week I just saw my bags looking old and dull so I decided to try this Sophie Martin Handbag Polish to somehow help in restoring the look of my bags. At first, I think it really doesn't work but the part that says "it protects your bag" really is true.

What Sophie Handbag Polish looks like?

Sophie Handbag Polish packaging in magenta color



Instructions on how to use can be found on the side part of the packaging





About the packaging and container:

I like the magenta box packaging of Sophie. I expect Sophie to use that because as we all know that it's their trademark color. :) The front part of the packaging consists of the product name. On the sides you can see the product description, instruction on how to use it, the net weight, and the manufacturing company. There is also translation to Indonesian language because as we all know Sophie products are made in Indonesia. When it comes to the container, I can say it so pretty and wise to place the product onto a hard plastic container where the product was sealed. You can also see the manufacturing company and manufacturing date of the product on the bottom part.

The product has creamy to powdery consistency. It is not like other creams that can be easily spread. It is non sticky though.

What this product claims? 

The promise of this product is to shine, protect, and clean all stains from any leather bags and wallets.




Here's how I clean my bags using Sophie handbag polish

What I need:

1. Bag (it best work on leather bags)


2. Cloth (you might want to use cotton or polyester or mixed kind of cloth not silk)


3. Anything that can pick up the product from the container (cosmetic spatula or popsicle stick). I prefer not to use my finger in picking up the product.



4. Sophie Handbag Polish



First thing I do is use the spatula or popsicle stick to get the product from the container. I refrain from using my fingers because it will be messy and may cause irritation on my hands. I spread thin layer of the product all over the bag and the handle. Then I let the product stay on the bag for 3 - 5 minutes before swiping it with clean cloth (I usually use cotton cloth). You can say it is effective when you see all the dirt and stains on the cloth leaving your bag shiny and looking new. :)





As of now, I think this is a budget-friendly and easiest way of cleaning your leather bags or any leather materials  since I haven't tried any cleaning product for leather products before I encountered this Handbag Polish. I don't think it will really make your bag shiny but the part that it should clean and remove stains on your bag is definitely true.

Maybe if you find time, you can try this product and tell me about it. :)

Thanks!


Stay happy and healthy! :)

♥ Review: Nichido Pencils and Etude House Eyebrow Pencil (My Go-To Cosmetic Pencils) ♥

Hi everyone!

Let me just share to you what lip,eye,and eyebrow pencil I like to bring with me wherever I go. :)
I have Nichido Lip pencil in Rosette, Nichido  Kohl Eye Liner in Onyx and Etude House Eyebrow Pencil in # 2.
I think I'm not really a fan of this brands but I can say that there are some of their products that are worth buying. Ofcourse I say that after personally trying the products. :)

You can find Nichido Cosmetics almost in every mall you go. This drugstore brand has amazing products but there are still some that doesn't work for me. My advise is to try the products first, there are testers for every product so can swatch it before buying. You don't want to waste your money on products that you don't want and will not use. I love their eye shadows and pencils :) I bought the pencils in Rose Pharmacy, G/F Festival Mall, Alabang, since I cant find the shade of Rosette lip liner in Watson :)

Nichido Kohl Eye Pencil in Onyx


Nichido Lip Pencil in Rosette
Size: 0.04 oz (1.14 g)

What I like about this lip pencil?
- soft and smooth to apply
- color is rose (pinkish taupe) almost in the middle of pink and brown - good to line lips because will blend with your lipstick
- available almost on all malls nationwide
- price is SO affordable, bought this for only Php 100 ^^ not bad at all


What I don't like about this lip pencil?
- does not last long



Nichido Kohl Eye Pencil in Onyx 
Size: 0.04 oz (1.14 g) 

Kohl pencils are better used in waterlines of the eyes. It has soft texture and more oily than a regular eyeliner. This one is definitely smudge-proof, but there are some cosmetic brands that offer waterproof kohl pencils. Best to use if you are going for a Smokey Eye-look. :) 


What I like about this eye pencil?
- soft and creamy
- glides easily on waterlines, no need to double the application, one swipe goes a long way 
- has GOOD color payoff :) 
- available almost on all malls nationwide
- price is SO affordable, bought this for only Php 138 


What I don't like about this lip pencil?
- if you have oily lids like mine, it will definitely smudge :) My solution is to top this up with black eye shadow, any black eye shadow will do. 


I also have Etude House Drawing Pencil in Number 2. One of my favorite pencils in Etude :) There are 4 shades available but I only usually see #1(dark brown) and #2(brown) shades in Etude stores. The other two are #3 (black)  and #4(dark grey). I have no idea why the other 2 shades are not available hehe. 





I find this pencil so useful especially for 'retouch' throughout the day. For me, this so easy to use and I love how it define and turn my eyebrows in dark brown. The packaging is CUTE ♥. When you open the cover you will find the pencil side and the other side is an eyebrow brush. The color is brown to dark brown. I usually use it just to line my eyebrows to the shape that I wanted. I cant say it last long than 8 hrs because I usually top it with eyebrow cake powder (my fav is NYX eyebrow cake powder in Taupe and Ash) which adds staying power, using it alone I think it will last only within 6 hrs especially when you have combination to oily skin type like mine :) But no worries loves, there are always solutions to every problem, you can either top it up with eyebrow powder or put pressed powder to your eyebrows first before lining it. It will make the color stay longer.

Orders from Sophie Paris Philippines Catalog 62 ♥

<3 
I've been a member of this direct selling company for I think 4 years now. I became an inactive member last 2011 and returned to sales the following year (2012). 

You most probably know this company already but I'l give a brief background for those who have not heard of this yet.






In 2002, Sophie Paris invaded the Philippine market as it opened its first affiliate in the country. Putting up its first Manila Head Office in Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City, Sophie Martin Philippines, Inc. (SMPI) instantly established itself as a significant player in the country’s Direct Selling and Multi Level Marketing Industry as being the company of choice for high quality yet reasonably priced fashion products.

With a wide array of French-designed bags, watches, garments, shoes, and other fashion products to choose from and offering additional 80 fresh new styles every 6 weeks, members and clients alike always find something to fall for in every catalogue. Backed by highly competitive products, a lucrative marketing plan, and efficient sales and marketing tools, SMPI’s member base continues to grow counting up to more than 260,000 members and over 100 Business Centers nationwide.

You can view their website here: http://www.sophieparis.com.ph/

I really love their bags, the quality and designs are amazing. The watches and wallets are great if you have extra money to spend a worth of Php 600 - Php 800 but for me it's not really that practical. I have the same opinion as for the watches. But again if you speak for 'quality', then Sophie is a great find for you.

Here are some of the orders of my colleagues: :)


















You can get this form our ONLINE SHOP, 

Stay Happy and Healthy everyone :)
