Haulage : Personal Items

After class earlier, I headed over to the local grocery to pick up some personal items that I had been running low on. This might be a boring post to some, but honestly, I like seeing haul posts on "personal" items because it actually gives me ideas on what stuff to try out next, especially when it comes to hair care & skin care products...

I got this medium sized bottle of Biogenic alcohol for P27.75 to refill my spray bottle which I use in disinfecting my makeup (especially palettes). I like the Biogenic brand because of its clean smell that isn't rough on my poor nose.

Next I got a new shaver from Schick in Exacta2 for P30.50 My old shaver's aloe vera pad is super worn out so when I shave my legs (because waxing can get a bit time consuming sometimes) it won't hurt...

Colgate Optic White is next. This little tube cost P52.00 Both Cj & I got this because of the hype & advertisements. Call me gullible, but I'm a sucker for whitening products!

Also got this AstrinOsol Ice Pure Tri Defence mouth wash to replace my Listerine mouth wash (that I didn't really like at all) because I've been running low. This 60ml bottle cost P49.50

One of my obsessions just happens to be my hair! Now that I got it rebonded again, I have to take extra care of it so I've put my LUSH products on hold and decided to go back to the Dove Damage Therapy shampoo designed to leave your hair "straight & silky". The shampoo cost P192.50. I got the biggest bottle which will last my medium length, thin hair about two months (srsly!)

Since I got the shampoo, I also got the conditioner. This cost me P104.50... I really like this conditioner because it truly does keep my hair soft without weighing it down or getting it greasy.

Another thing I'm going back to it the Ponds Clear Balance Oil Control Skin Mattifying Facial Foam which costs P137.75 for 100g of product. I'm running low on my Kiehl's facial foam so I've decided to reserve it for night use only and use this Ponds on for my daily daytime routine.

Last thing I purchased is this Celeteque Dermoscience Hydration Facial Moisturizer which costs P129.25 for the 50ml tube. I know I've mentioned before that my Kiehl's Oil Free Facial Moisturizer is my ultimate favorite BUT this Celeteque one is a cheaper alternative and I plan to use this for my daytime routine. This is also the moisturizer I prefer to use on my clients.
So there's my small haul of personal items... Do you use any of the products above? What personal items do you usually purchase at the grocery/drugstore?

Going Black...

Do any of you remember these photo? *lol!*

Well it's been two month since I last had my hair treated at RStyle salon. I even blogged about it here.

I've been itching for a change and I just knew that this would be the perfect time to "go black"... My natural hair color is a dark chocolate brown, and through the years I've bombarded it with lighter hair dyes because I secretly (well it's not a secret anymore) want blonde-ish hair. Now that I'm a bit older, my fascination with darker hair colors has also started. I initially wanted dark red hair, but that would be difficult to explain to my nurse superiors once I'm back in the hospitals so I decided to go black instead.

My hair last week...

My hair earlier this morning...

I got to RStyle salon arounf 9:30am and asked for Izah again since I'm comfortable with her expert hands. We talked about me going black and she did advise me against it because black would be a bit difficult to layer a lighter color on if I decided to go light haired again alter on. Instead she advised me to go for a black-brown shade from Cynos called dark brown. She said it would still appear black unless under direct sunlight where it would register as a deep chocolate brown. So I said "let's go for it"... 3 hours later I had a lovely shade of brown black hair! *photos taken with my iphone4*
