Review: Nivea Fruity Shine in Pink Guava

I am a big fan of Nivea lotions. I've been using it for more or less 5 years and I am very much satisfied with it. But I have't tried yet their lipbalms. Why? Kasi kuripot nga ako that's why I don't wan't to spend 80 pesos just for a lipbalm. Well thanks to Watson's because they usually have the 3 day sale on selected items. And one of it was the NiveaFruity Shine in Guava pink.

The problem: I have dry lips. Maybe because I am too lazy to drink plenty of water. Specially when I am at the office, the only time that I drink water is after I ate lunch. Yes believe it or not, I can sit all day with just one and a half glass of water to drink. We don't have water dispenser kasi here at the office (ang kuripot nila e). So why not give Nivea lipbalm a try since I bought it for almost half of it's real price. Keep on reading below if this product will solve my problem :)

The Solution: Nivea Fruity Shine in Pink Guava

Cost: P40.00 

(on sale) originally at P80.00

Where: Watson's Outlet

Shade: Guava Pink

 

Also available in

 I bought this on sale. And I've been using this from the very first day that I bought it ! That's how much I like this product :)

It comes with the usual lip balm packaging. It is made of plastic.

Product Description:

What the product promises:

 This is made in Thailand.

 It contains 4.8 grams and approximately 2.5 inches long (the balm only).

 Here's how it looks like inside:

 Really love it's cute packaging!

 So here it is.

With flash.

Unlike the other product, this Nivea fruit shine contains a lot of product. You will truly get what you pay for.

 It has a sweet guava scent. And it taste sweet guava too.!

 The shimmers are very subtle.

Swatches:

Macro Shot.

As you can see, the color is very subtle. It has pinkish undertone.

On my lips:

 I have very dark lips, but still, it makes my lips a little bit pinkish, which I love!

It gives me a glossy finish but not oily nor sticky. Like when you glide it on your lips, a little goes a long way and it does not give you an exaggerate texture. It gives you a natural looking lips that looks so moisturized and smooth one!

This is now my HG lipbalm. I wear it underneath my matte lipsticks and during weekends when I want to have a makeup free face or when I go to the market.

So here's how it looks like with my EB Scarlet:

Wanna know the reason for my bronzing look? Will post soon!

Pretty Thing:

- Affordable

- Love the scent 

- Easy to carry around

- A little goes a long way

- It does not darken my lips 

- It contains a lot of product

- It really moisturized my lips

- Makes my lips soft & smooth 

- Cheap (because i got this on sale) hehe

- You will get more than what you pay for

Ugly Thing:

- Nothing!

Recommendation:

YES! I definitely recommend this to everyone, specially to those who are looking for a good lip balm but hate the feeling of having sticky or heavy feeling on lips. This is such a perfect product. Good for everyday use and for your matte lipstick.

I've been wanting to try this, and I've been seeing this long time ago, and I'm glad that I have this now!

Say goodbye to dry lips, and hello to smooth, and luscious lips!

How bout you guys, have you tried the Nivea Fruity Shine too?

Let me know through your comments!

DIY: Shoe Ankle Strap in just 8 simple ways!

The Problem: I have a pair of flats that I bought from "The Little Things She Needs" 3 months ago. The problem is, I was in a hurry when I bought it, so I only fit the flats for a very short period of time, and I didn't even bother to walk it around the store, I just fit it then pay to the counter, because my nephew was very hungry na. Well then, when I wore it for the very first time, and took my few steps, I discovered that the flats were larger than my size, though it is size 36. Maybe it was already worn out (I mean, it's the last pair kasi since I bought it on Sale). I am very disappointed because it always happen to me. I was blinded on it's cheap price and sometimes I usually buy shoes because I just love it's design. So I wear it rarely, and even if I do, I hardly walk whenever I wear it, you know the feeling when you are wearing shoes that is larger than your size, seems like you are pushing your feet backwards para di mo maiwan ang shoes mo. I planned to sell it online, but one thing came up to my mind and share it with you on how I solve my problem :)

Sorry for the gross feet. Bad mosquitoes!

 Cost: P280 (on sale)

Original Price: P480?

Where: TLTSN Robinson's Galleria

I can put my pointing finger inside. That's the allowance of the shoes.

Baka mag-ala Cinderella ang peg ko nito kapag may nakatapak sa sapatos ko no?! 

Kaloka!

The Solution: DIY Shoe Ankle Strap

I only spent P4.75 for this! :)

Wanna know how? Keep on reading below!

First, these are the things that you need:

1. 1 yard of black flat garter P4.75

 2. Needle and Thread

 3. Scissors and 2 pieces of buttons.

4. Tape Measure (forgot to include picture)

INSTRUCTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

 1. Cut a 2 inch-length of the black flat garter.(two pieces)

2. Fold it in a loop.

 3. Position it on the inner back corner of your shoe at the very center (where you see the stitch of the shoe).

 4. Start stitching the garter on your shoe in an outward motion. Just like the above picture.

  5. Before you stitch it back inward, place the button through the thread. It well serve as design so it will hide the stitches that you are making.

    6. Keep on stitching and make it sure to lock the thread after.

You are now finished with the loop that will hold the ankle strap.

7. Next is the ankle strap. Measure the circumference of your ankle. Once you get the size, cut the spare garter corresponds to the size of your ankle.

7. Insert the strap on the loop.

8. Secure the strap by stitching it on the loop.

And you are done!

Here's the finish project:

 Sexy ankle strap!

the other loop has been bent lang.

 Now you know what's the purpose of the buttons right?

Instead of letting the stitch shows, why not put buttons to hide them?

 I have now a pair of shoes with ankle strap. I've been dreaming of having one! But now, dream came true ang peg! Plus, DIY pa!

 What I really like about ankle strap is that, it can make your legs longer and sexier!

Before, I used to wear this only thrice from the day that I bought it. But after creating my "diy ankle strap" I wear this 1 week straight! I am not afraid na maging ala Cinderella ang peg.

Problem Solved! 

I have no worries and problem with this shoes anymore.Really comfortable to walk with.

With just 5 pesos, I am able to solve my problem!

I am planning to do the same thing to my Maud pumps, since it is a bit larger on me. But maybe I'll sell it nalang.

Please do my check my previous DIY post "DIY:Shoe flower"

And that's it I hope you guys liked this post! And you find it helpful.

I am thinking if I'll make a DIY post every week, what do you think?

Anyway, if you are planning to do this too, please let me know

You can leave the links on the comment section and you can tweet me so I can check it out too!

Thanks for reading!

Happy Saturday guys!

I hope you did enjoy this day!

Me, I really enjoyed it, I spent it very wisely :)

Anyway's just like what I mentioned on my previous haul, I'm going to post the stuff that I bought from Ms.Lissa Kahayon last time I went to Etc Fashion Flea Market.

 The items aren't actually from Forever 21, it was just the plastic. lols

A dress and bangles.

 It was love at first sight when I saw this dress. But I thought it was a blouse so I decided to buy this for my mom. I really like it's color and the cloth's texture.

 The dress is only P180.00 (preloved)

Six pieces bangle.

And this cute bangles is only P20.00

I saw a lot of accessories, makeup and clothes at Ms.Lissa's stall, too bad I am really on a tight budget that time :( So these are the only thing that I bought.

Well mom loves it, and actually I wanted to wear the dress too!

And here's my small haul from Watson's:

Fitness Blotting Paper P39.00

Jagger Toothbrush P39.00
