2 Borghese Fango Mud Mask Review

I'm back with another mask review. Not a sheet mask this time. I'm running out of my MBD masks and decided not to buy more but to try other masks.

I was watching Bubzbeauty and she was using this Fango mask and I thought "Hey, a mud mask! The last time I tried something similar to this was my Queen Helene mask. Good times!" lol So....I decided to give it a try and went to their site and order it. Since you can use it for your body also, I decided to get the huge jar.

"Yay!" I jump of excitement when it came... <--- little did I know <---- you're know why later
I opened the box and they gave me a small bag of freebies inside.  Woohoo! haha
The freebies contains the following:
-Small tube of Fango mask
-Body Cream
-Lip Gloss
-Fango Body Scrub
-Face Mist

I haven't tried or used any of these yet so I can't really say much about them.

Let's get back to the mask. That night that I got it I tried it. It stung a little but I thought it was okay because I have had other masks that did stung my face a little but it goes away in about a minute or so, but this one did fade only a little. I left it on for about less than 5 minutes and felt my face was feeling weird. I washed it off the way it recommended and F*!!! My face was full of tiny bumps. It's flaky and nasty looking.

Not ever in my life have I had a reaction like this one. My face is pretty tough and trust me, I'm a skincare junkie and I love masks!! Not this one apparently. My put a very very thin layer on my neck and it got tiny bumps too. WTF?! *sigh*

I was excited for nothing! It's been 3 weeks and my face is finally back to normal but during the bumps time, I was pretty down. It affected my mood pretty bad. I was not a bump or two but al around my face. I don't know how the F* my eyelids also got bumps. I did not put any around the eye areas.

But I was pretty sure it was this mask that did it. My face was pretty healthy before I tried this mask and then BAM! Allergic? I think it clogged my pores!  What ever it was I hate it. I didn't even bother contacting the company to return it. I didn't threw it away either. It's very pricey :(

Don't know what to do with it. Want to try it on my body but afraid that it will break my body out too.
If anyone of you guys tried it. Tell me if it broke you out or not.

Here's me in the morning with my eye bags ( tried to cover it but still shows) "happy" that my skin is back to normal. Well, still a little flaky and maybe one or two bumps left.
Yeah you can't tell that Im happy nor that my skin is flaky or bumpy. THE POWER OF PHOTO EDITING!!!!

Oh and I'm growing out my hair. It might take years for it to reach my butt but patience is everything.

0 Natto taste VERY BAD!

I used to watch Japanese cartoons (Anime). I will always see them eating this fermented bean thing called Natto! They will add soy sauce, mustard, and green onions.

I always thought it was sweet because it looks gooey/slimy like honey. BOY was I wrong?! I finally found it on this newly opened supermarket. I was kinda excited. I had to wait till dinner time. It came with tiny package of soy sauce and mustard. I added some green onions.

Time to eat! *takes a bite*.......... $VW%YUHV$# QC(H$W. The family just stared at me for a looong while till I regain my conscious. Oh forgot to mention I bought one for each of my family! lol  Seeing my face they didn't even dare to try theirs.


It's weird tasting. Bitter and..... I don't know! I tasted bitter and I kinda blacked out HAHA I see the people in the anime eating it so happily and tasty. I should have just not buy it and still believe that it taste like honey...


Have anyone of you tried it? Was it good for you guys or bad?

0 The best gift you have gotten in life

I always complain about this or that about my life but now I'm kinda thankful about all this things. Things that had went wrong, I feel thankful for it because I have learnt a lesson about it. 

I still complain but not as much as before though. I hated when things go wrong and I'll feel discourage.

I'm an escaper. I escape from reality a lot of times. I pretend things are fine and blank out my mind to stop thinking about bad things. I realize that it might be a bad thing because if there is a problem and you try to not think about it, it can never be solved.

I've learn how to be positive in many things now. I still get my mind off things but sooner or later I'll have to face reality. One thing I learn on how to deal with a problem is to be positive. Think positive, think on the good side. Like..." oh, this can be a life lesson for me to do better next time"...or ... "life always has its ups and downs, this little thing will pass"

It always help me to calm down and try to deal with the problem. I love how it helps me every time. Life is a gift. The best gift you have ever gotten. Sure that it has some bad times, but always think about the good times. If you didn't have a life, those good times wouldn't ever have existed. 

This new year can be a new start but also can be a year of realization for many. You have lived for so many years now, look back and think about the things that make you never want to forget. Think about also the many craps that you have been through. You lived through all those moments. Bad things will come but it will also pass.

Keep moving forward and live your life. We have received many gifts but life itself is the best gift that you have ever gotten, so enjoy every second of it.

Happy New Year everyone!

0 Thank You 2012! Helloo 2013!

A look-back at 2012!


2012 was messy. I've messed up many times. I made many mistakes. Guess I was still too childish. I mean there's nothing wrong to be a little childish at times but when you are not a teen anymore, you have many responsibilities for you to take care of and for that, you can't act like a child.


I guess mistakes are what helps you to be better person in the future. Sometimes you don't know what's wrong with something until you have committed that mistake.



In 2012 I've known myself better. I've learnt to love myself more. I've gain more confident on things I do. There was this time where my self-esteem went a little too high and it made me started thinking that I'm the smartest person out of all the people that I know.....but that I was too lazy to use all my brain power hahahaha but of course, I realized that it was not true lol

This pictures here is after I decided to cut my hair short. The last time I remembered I had short hair was when I was like 11 or 12 years old. 2012 was crazy! Also, I was pretty into Jay Park at that time and decided to copy that tattoo he has around his neck.

2012 took me back to my childhood and helped me move on and not to be stuck in the past. It was the year where I learnt to be happier and forgive. The year where I decided to make everyone I love smile more.


I'm not perfect nor am I trying to be perfect. I'm just trying to be the best that I can be. There are still many problems yet to be fixed and no way I can fixed every single one at once, but little by little and through dedication, nothing is impossible.

Welcome 2013!!

I welcome 2013 with a warm hug and lots of smile. 2013 will be the year. I've decided to dedicate more on my blog. I've been blogging since 2009 but I wasn't consistent with the posts but many readers still stayed with me. I'm very thankful for all of you guys.


I'm going to be the responsable person that I'm supposed to be. Do the things that I supposed to do and stay away from the evil muahahaha


I've always believed in the saying "tomorrow will be a better day"! Yes! Everyday can be a new start and every year will be better and more happy things will come. I have a feeling that 2013 is going to be the year of great changes.  Many great things to write about so wait for me this new year. I love you guys very much!

What's better to end a post than a little camwhoring hahaha

Fail on trying to look sexy 

In my pijama pants lol

  I had to post this one because I look so freaking evil but still manage to look good hahahaha

Oh! Also recently, I've discovered that some faces that I make, makes me look like G-Dragon HAHAHAHAHAHA  I need to capture some pictures in the future for you guys to see.  Have a great new year!

0 First chocolate covered strawberries

The title says it all. I'll just post pictures lol

I also tried making some chocolate bowls. I put vanilla ice cream on it. So delish!

Christmas is here already. Make sure you have your gifts ready for your love ones. Have a great holiday!

0 Christmas baking! My love / hate relationship with holiday foods!

I love holidays! Especially the ones where you can eat a lot of food and nobody judges you. And those are the ones I also hate the most. Nobody will judge you, so you eat like a maniac and regret it later on after knowing that you have gain a few pounds.


I went grocery shopping for Christmas. After coming home from buying stuffs to make cakes and other sweets, I realized there's only 4 eggs left and I didn't buy any extra.


I could only make a few cupcakes and a "Christmas" cake. I put quotations on Christmas because it was supposed to be for Christmas but I saw that it was too ugly so i cut it and ate a piece after dinner tonight haha

Trust me, it looks better on pictures. It was messy looking. I was out of pink gel to write Christmas so I used a blue one. I was going to add strawberries but then I realized I didn't buy strawberries either. :(
My brain is so useless lah *sigh*

I couldn't pour all the batter into the baking pan because it was too small so I made some cupcakes with the remaining batter.

   

Mom doesn't like frosting because it's too sweet but without frosting it looks too plain so I add little on some of them like that happy face one or the one I failed to make a heart. haha do you guys see the one with green medusa hair? hahaha

Oh btw I use yellow cake mix... lol I always use cake mix cause it's too much work making it from scratch. Lazy me...


I will end the post with deliciously-looking photos of tonight's baking...night? ??? Talk to you guys next time ;)

 MEDUSA!!!

0 Gum cutting and train pushers!

I went to my ortho today to get my attachments. It was painful... T.T  He had to file some of my teeth to make space for my teeth to move. And for some, he used a large filing disk. Is like the smaller version of a miter saw. F*! He cut through my gums and I was bleeding so much! 

I was cursing in my mind and it kinda helped. lol  I have never had a tooth extracted. EVER! And my teeth are pretty healthy (just one crooked tooth)... well, that's what my dentist said. So going to the dentist for a regular checkup wasn't painful or anything. He just look at it, clean it up a little, and I'm good to go. 

Now that I'm getting my teeth straighten and have to go through all this was very new and scary to me...well, not scary scary but something not expected. I really hope my wisdom teeth doesn't come out *crosses fingers*  I'm not scare of needle...like shots and blood extracting are fine, but getting needled on my mouth?! EF NO!

And I also hate crowded trains. I'm okay with it in around manhattan, but not in brooklyn. In brooklyn when the train is packed with asian aunties, instead of getting on and off one by one, they push everyone in or out! WTF?! The train conductor can see you lady! You will get you turn to get on or off. No need to push. But thank God I don't usually get off on the same stations as them. Of course not all of them are like that, but many. 

Seeing this make me realize how polite my mom is comparing to other asian mothers. I've seen many aunties out there talking super loud, spitting, and pushing, but not my mom. She seem very educated and nice. Yeah her education level might not be high but my grandparent raised her well. She is the best mother one can ask for.

I realized that I started talking about my teeth and ended up talking about how awesome my mom is.

Anyway today was kinda cold and windy so I wore a pink scarf. I put on a black coat with a furry hat, skinny jeans, and gray boots. OOTD!

                  

I seriously don't remember where I got any of them. The scarf I think was from G-Market. I bought the jeans at a mall but don't remember the name of the store. Boots was bought online but don't remember where lol yeah I'm very bad with this.  I'm not really a brand kind of girl when it comes to clothing. I only look at the design and material it is made from...and the price of course. If I like, I buy no matter if the brand was not a popular one.

  

Did a little camwhoring too. XD

Hope you enjoy this post and sorry for not posting one last night. Have a great night everyone and happy holidays!
