Not the Same featuring Missha and Aloe Vera Gel



They were the favorites with a "holy grail" status.  The "go to" when the new items failed their purpose.  They are like your BFFs that you reach out to when you have skin problems.  But then suddenly, you feel they don't give the same effect anymore.  Was it a new formulation? Or perhaps my age and diet (what I eat)?

Whatever the reason, here are the items that awed me before but just won't work anymore now.


Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Borabit Ampoule
THEN:  I raved about this before here and it's one of the reason why I tried some more items from Missha.  Here'a an excerpt from my review: "My face looks glowing, flawless and sleek.  With continuous usage, my face looks healthy and less sensitive.  My pores looks smaller and my freckles and sun spots are less visible. I never had a major breakout with this ampoule and my skin is soft yet firmer than before." Overall, I think it made my skin almost to the flawless artista level.

NOW:  It just became a normal moisturizer in a liquid form.  I read somewhere; although not official, that an active ingredient was replace with the "Borabit" edition as Missha had an issue with Estee Lauder because guys, in Korea this is being marketed as a cheaper version of the Estee Lauder Night Repair.  I wish that I have gotten the former formula because I am missing the goodness it gave to my skin.

Holiday Hauls

It's the time of the year where shoppers have the right to splurge.  Well, a little on my part since I'm on a budget so the items that I got are either affordable or on sale.

So aside from peppermint candy canes (so addicting!) I got the following:

Amazon online
Got an XOXO watch and a toy camera.  Don't have a picture of the camera because it's still in transit.  It's with my brother actually, he's the one who ordered it for me (he said he'll probably just give it as a present hehehe)
classic looking XOXO watch para sa tumatandang ako 

Superheadz, looking really cute

Cheap Finds
Got my first Baby Lips which is on sale.  And 2 Shoes for P399!  Well, they are not that durable especially on a rainy day but I'd rather go to work with these on than slippers.  Will just probably wear the shoes that I store in my ped in the office.
Maybelline Baby Lips

2 pairs of Solemate
Payless
2 shoes from Payless.  The other one which is not in the picture is glittery while the one below is my first ever 4 inches takong (heels).  Need to practice how to walk with the shoes on!
Payless!!!
Re-Stock
Finally, Aloe Vera Gel in the house.  Despite the price hike, I have to admit that my skin love it.  Will probably hoard the next time the boutiques of Nature Republic here will go on sale.  Got these two + a freebie from an online seller
I'm getting ready for the heat of the summer
The Body Shop
I can't resist the boxed set and the body polish limited editions, grrrrr!!!.  Kaasar, expect some posts on the body polish on the first quarter of 2013!
know what's inside? hint: color violet
I want to sparkle and feel the joy and bliss of these body polishes!
Wheew done a lot of cropping in this post.  Till Next time.

Happy Holidays!  Let's welcome the New Year with a bang!
