Product Review - Benefit Ms. Popularity

When I first glanced upon this product, I thought it was some sort of nail polish because of the bottle. Lolz. I opened it and saw that it was a very fine powder with hints of cream and very subtle gold. The color was excellent for highlighting the corners of the eyes to make your eyes pop with life. Supermodels have used this product to enhance their nose lines applying it on the bridge of the nose making it look more contoured. Another use of this product is above the cleavage to make it look lifted as well. For the most part however, i use this on the brow bones just below my eyebrows. It gives my eyebrows an instant lift making it look like my brows are arched higher.

It really is an all around product. Highlights and lifts. It really is the jack of all trades when it comes to makeup tricks.

If you attend a lot of events and parties, this is perfect for achieving that perfect evening look.

Ever wondered why hollywood stars always looked so glamorous? Use of highlighters such as Benefit Ms Popularity is definitely one of the answers!

albert einstein on relationships

taken from dave buenaventura's facebook notes:

NOTES FROM THE HEART AND MIND OF A GENIUS

Albert Einstein
(1879-1955)

REALIZATIONS:

Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the person we love we fail to recognize and appreciate the people who love us. We miss out on so many beautiful things and simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns. Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words for you will find rewarding happiness not with the man you love but the man who loves you more. The best lovers are those capable of loving from a distance far enough to allow the person to grow, but never too far to feel the love deep within your being. To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving, it only means that you allow that person to find his own happiness without expecting him to come back. Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but it is also setting yourself free from all bitterness, hatred, and anger that keep in your heart. Do not let the bitterness scare away your strength and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to dishearten you, but rather let yourself grow with wisdom in bearing it. You may find peace in just loving someone from a distance not expecting anything in return. But be careful, for this can sustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow. We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past but real peace and happiness come only with open acceptance of what reality is today. There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon become a part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than just a friendship. We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for ourselves. You don't have to forget someone you love. What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself.

Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone more deserving. Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow: If you lose love that doesn't mean that you failed in love. Cry if you have to, but make it sure that the tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left with you. Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime.
There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is though everything is a miracle.

education in the philippines

First of all, this is not in support of any vice presidential candidate. It is merely my opinion. I am watching a show called Harapan with Ted Failon wherein the vice presidential candidates of the Philippines are asked to debate and answer questions.

A school teacher from the Eta province in the North asked what can the candidates do to help the teachers and students in the remote areas of the Philippines to provide the quality education that these Filipino children are entitled to.
Some candidates are very convincing with their answers and some were not able to express their point well enough, though if studied beyond the way it was delivered, would stand to be an insightful answer. One of these candidates was Atty. Yasay.

Attorney Yasay brought to light a very good point in my opinion, in the philippine education system, students are taught to look for employment after graduation, they are trained how to make resumes, how to answer interviews, etc. I am speaking from experience. A good portion of my 5th year as an engineering student was spent on doing just this. I remember back then, I came to a point where I was asking, why the school and our professors perceived everyone wanted to be an employee after we graduated.Why weren't we being taught how to solicit funds for a start-up business. We weren't taught which agencies would finance small businesses. There was no business administration subject. Not one.
My point here is, why aren't we being taught skills in creative thinking, entrepreneurial skills, business skills, skills that will enable us to uplift ourselves instead of giving us a subservient mentality. Here are more examples of what I mean when I say we are thinking less instead of thinking and dreaming bigger.

In our country, a course in Tourism is equated to wanting to become a future flight attendant. This is WRONG. A course in Tourism entails a career in diplomacy and ambassadorship, foreign trade, and foreign policy. NOT to become a flight attendant. Our minds are conditioned to think small. If you survey college students why they took this course, that is what they will answer. How do I know? I have interviewed many students, especially pageant candidates who are supposed to be the creme of the crop of our students with their beauty, talent, and intelligence. If our so-called intelligent students are thinking this way, dreaming this small, how much less does this entail for the majority of our students?

In our country, a course in HRM means learning to become service crews in the big hotels and restaurants in the world. How to serve. Where is the entrepreneurship and creative thinking in that? It's a course in management which means after you get a degree in this course, you should have the skills necessary to start up and manage your own hotel or restaurant, know how to get the funds and support to get it started and running, or at the very least MANAGE the big hotels and restaurants. Not simply become a service crew, earn dollars, and stop there.

In my own case, an engineer means getting a job in a factory in an economic zone to test the quality of finished products. We studied 5 years to test capacitors if they're working or not? To compare the colors and bands on these simple little devices? 1 day of training is enough for that. Of course this is not where 100% of engineers go, but a good portion of those who can only afford to study in not-so-popular schools end up doing this. To top it off, the starting salary per month is a measly $260 per month.

It's frustrating to watch the potential of our students go to waste with the small thinking of our educational institutions.
Why aren't our educational institutions thinking big for us? Why aren't we being equipped with the knowledge to uplift ourselves? Do we have to settle for less than what other people in other countries settle for? Do we always have to be the ones who serve other people? We are wasting the brain capacity, the talent, the perseverance, and the hard earned money the families of our students are striving to provide them with thinking that their kids would get good education. I know of some families who have sold all their possessions like all their cows, hogs, crops, and what little land they have just so they can provide their children with what they think is quality education.

What is the result of this poor education system? It robs our youth of hope, it robs them of the ability to think bigger, it robs them of their full potential, it robs them of a future they might otherwise have. It keeps us simple minded resulting in a monkey-see, monkey-do attitude as observed by an American-Pinoy friend of mine. And yes, I agree with him. The country becomes gullible.People stop thinking for themselves. They stop analyzing. They stop asking questions. Everything remains as shallow as it could be.

Speaking of asking questions, in Philippine schools, why is it that students do not ask questions??? This scenario was in my 5th year college days. A professor asked me to classify flash memory as either a ROM or RAM. It was part of a homework and when we got to class, there was a follow-up graded recitation where we were not allowed to look at the homework we did the previous night to test if we were really the authors of our own homework. The professor called on me. Now he didn't know it but half the class photo-copied my homework. So I answered his question and explained that the architecture of a flash drive is based on ROM architecture. He went out of the classrooom and when he came back. He said I was wrong. Since half the class had my homework in hand, they knew what was in my research. The other half who didn't copy from me also came up with the same answer. Flash is based on ROM. We all know that RAM is a processor, not a storage device so classifying a flash memory as RAM is more than stupid especially for a college professor!

He gave me a 75% on my homework. After he left, I asked all my classmates what answer they had. They ALL had the same answer as me but not one questioned the professor. Not one raised their hand to object or ask a question. These are 22-23 year old graduating students for crying out loud!

This same scenario happened to me in 5th grade. I was in the US and I raised my hand to answer a question. A fellow Pinay student who was seated beside me put my hand down and told me not to ever raise my hand because she never raised her hand.
If I was imaginative enough I would say it's mass brainwashing to keep our nation down.

My question is why do we have this behavior in our nation of thinking small? Why is nothing being done about it? Does nobody notice it? Why are our own educational system keeping us down? Why aren't we being taught to fight for what's right? Why are students afraid to ask questions? Why are students afraid to raise their hands in the first place? What sort of message is this kind of educational culture cultivating in us as a nation?

Please feel free to speak your mind if you have any comments.

Make up tips for sensitive skin

Having sensitive skin is such a pain in the ass especially when choosing the right make up. Always bear in mind that not all works for me might works for you too.

Below are some make up tips for sensitive skin:

Choose powder

Powder cosmetics are much less likely to cause problems for women with sensitive skin than their liquid counterparts. Most mineral make up are in powdered form.

Toss your old and expired cosmetics

Oh please, please... throw your old and expired cosmetics even if you just used it for a short span of time, it may worsen your skin problem.

It is always best to check the label

Dermatologists recommend daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 15 or higher. For women with sensitive skin, this sunscreen should only contain the physical sunscreen ingredients zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

Use products that contain no more than 10 ingredients; the fewer ingredients in a product, the less likely it is that the product will cause a problem. Many manufactures now make foundations with an SPF factor of 15 or higher; check the labels.

Don't share your make ups and brushes

It is very hygienic not to share cosmetics with other. It's a must to prevent spreading dirt and to avoid skin allergies.

Tamera Szijarto: In My Bag- Benefit Bad Gal Eyeliner

Tamera Szijarto: In My Bag- Benefit Bad Gal Eyeliner
As the founder of a web store, I get to try a lot of the products I carry. But since there’s so many, they can easily pile up on my “must try” list. Last month however, I ran out of my trusty simple ol’ eyeliner. If you’re like me, sometimes you splurge, sometimes you opt not to. It just so happened that we were about to run out of stock of Benefit’s Bad Gal Waterproof eyeliner. There was only one left. Now, this product usually sits for no more than a few days on our shelves. So upon visiting our “makeup vault” I was surprised to see there was one left. I almost heard it call out my name.
A day passed and I was still thinking about it. I wondered how a product as simple as eyeliner can be so in-demand. And today, it was still there. I asked the shipment personnel if there was an order for it, she said none so far but she doesn’t expect it to stay at the store room for long.
Another day passed. This eyeliner is starting to haunt me. Loyal customers and friends have bought this from me, yet I haven’t tried it. I see that it won a Beauty Award from a very popular magazine or two. What’s in this eyeliner? Why is this so special? I can’t imagine how different it can be from the rest. So I finally told the accounting staff, “Please put this on my tab...”
After that, I tucked it away in my ever-so-full makeup kit, which is making my shoulder bag truly heavy, giving me stiff necks and aching shoulders. I used it the next night, and the day after that, and the next...
Here’s my experience with Benefit’s Bad Gal Waterproof Eyeliner:
1) The Perfect Shade of Black. I used to try and find the perfect eye shadow color, contour, and blending scheme that would bring out my eyes. It’s a never-ending search. But when I used this eyeliner, I understood why it didn’t remain on our shelves for very long. The black was a perfect shade of jet black. It’s black but not too matte nor glossy. It’s a perfect compliment for anyone’s eyes. But if you’re looking for a burlesque look, consider liquid eyeliners. It’s perfect for evenings out.
2) Texture to Ogle Over. Oh the texture was wonderful! It provided ease of application so my dry, wrinkle-prone skin was safe since I didn’t need to layer it over and over again; hence there was no need to stretch my eye area in an exaggerated way like I used to do with other eyeliners. It was fast and precise.
3) Built to Last. Want to truly test what you’ve got? Wear it while playing beach volleyball in the middle of summer or do like I did. I took it scuba diving! After hours of rubbing my eyes and putting my scuba mask on and off going 60 Ft underwater and back to the surface for a whole day, what was the verdict? True to its promises, it did not smudge nor flake off! I did notice it wasn’t as black as when I first applied it. Maybe it did flake off a little but the flakes certainly did not stay on my under eyes nor cheeks. My eyes were still neatly lined. Any runoff from the product was nearly unnoticeable unless of course you study it closely in front of a mirror. Reapplication needed when under strenuous activities? Perhaps, but not necessary.
4) Intuitive? I wouldn’t go as far as to call this magic eyeliner, but the formula seems to be intuitive. It knows how to be just what you need it to be. For example, the way it doesn’t smudge when you rub your eyes, but it does smudge when you use the smudger. Or the way it flakes off throughout the day nano-particle by nano-particle that it seems unnoticeable and leaves you looking as perfect as you did hours ago. Further, those flakes are nowhere to be seen on your face. Your bags and cheeks remain flawless. I have tried waterproof eyeliners that do flake off and those flakes landed on my cheekbones. Eck!
5) Worth the price? The reason I didn’t include this product right away in my “must try” list was because I didn’t believe in a pencil costing as much as lipstick or more. But the truth is, after having tried this product; it’s really well worth the price. Especially if I don’t have to sit in front of a mirror all day trying to mess with a bunch of eye shadows figuring out how to bring out my eyes while looking effortless. Whew, that was a mouthful! I only usually splurge on foundation, blush, mascara, and primer. But realizing what an excellent eyeliner can do turned me into an eyeliner junkie. =D

Advantages and Disadvantages of Online Shopping

Why people shop online nowadays?

Modern technology brought a lot of benefits for us; one of the major promises of modern technology is the convenience.

People in this day and age tend to shop online because of the convenience it guarantee. Imagine you can shop online 24/7 without paying parking area, exerting too much effort and paying for gasoline. Even people with disabilities and busy moms can shop and wait for their product at home.

You can also buy stuff irregardless of the location, all you have to do is just to click, pay and wait for the shipment. Likewise, when you are buying gifts, shopping online is the perfect way to send gifts to your distant friends or relatives.

Payment mode is as easy as one, two, three; you can now shell out using credit cards, pay pal, bank transfer and other local paying platforms.

Although online shopping gives us the convenience, there are still disadvantages. First, when you do online shopping you just rely on the images and reviews; you cannot feel or touch the product.

Another pain in the ass for online shopper is the returning of faulty or damaged goods, it takes longer and most of the time you have to pay the shipping fee again.

There are issues also when paying using credit cards, most of the thieves make use of modern technology to rob by using other people’s credit card information.

So before engaging to online shopping websites, make sure to check for the reputation, reviews and comments. Check if you are doing transaction to a fly-by-night-kind of shop.

Our very own Tameraonline.com is the first local online cosmetics store in the Philippines. This online cosmetics store is keeping the promise of convenience and ensures the quality of their service, and safety for all transactions. Shipping within the Philippines is also FREE of Charge.

Unlike other online store, Tameraonline.com database is also encrypted with 128-bit secure socket layer, a hack-proof feature. Payment is not just via credit card only, you can use pay pal account and G-cash.

And most of all, Tameraonline.com is not a fly-by-night-kind of online store.

How to avoid dry skin

Dry skin is extremely common problem especially during cold months. Skin might feel tight and painful, most of the time it look dull or red or flaky. Worst of all is the discomfort and the itchiness it cause. But there are ways how to avoid drying of skin.

On personal hygiene:

Avoid long bathing times and use mild soap with high moisturizing formula. Use soft towel or loofah and avoid too much scrubbing.

After taking a bath, put moisturizing lotion all over your body, make sure to put lotion generously during cold months. Try to look for hypoallergenic, dermatologist approved and non irritating cosmetics that really works for your skin type.

On diet:

Personal hygiene is not enough you should also watch your diet, try avoid caffeine and alcohol consumption since these have diuretic properties. Make sure you are taking in 8 glasses of water per day and try to add omega-3 fatty acids on your diet by consuming more cold-water fish, walnuts, and flax seeds.

Take note of this:

Untreated dry skin can sometimes lead to dermatitis, which is the inflammation of the skin, swelling, and infection. Prevention is better than cure! =)
