Lookie lookie what my fairy godmother gave me

The thing I love most about Sally Hansen nail polish: they smell like plastic balloon! Brother and I are getting all high here smelling these babies! MMMMMMM

If you want to save BIG bucks, you must grab yourself one of these ASAP!

I get my brows bleached once a month in this pretty popular salon in Makati for about 800 a pop. I really cannot complain because one, they do a pretty good job and two, they’re handing my eye area with TLC.

My bleaching session is due in 8 days time and I’ve already penned my appointment. I was doing my usual reading of Preview and Cosmo when I came across this article featuring this beauty product (from the later mentioned). It caught my attention since hey, it’s something that’s supposed to work for less than 400 bucks! It’s just by sheer chance that I was going through GirlTalk when Roanne (hey you!) mentioned that she used the same kit. After shooting questions here and there plus seeing her FOTD, I was sold!

I got my box from SM MegaMall last night and didn’t waste time when I got home. I was supposed to do a patch test but I thought that since am not sensitive to Sally Hansen’s prods anyway (bad girl!), I might as well bleach away. :p

Here are some snaps I took along the way:

Top Top to bottom: pre-bleaching, during, after FOUR minutes, after TWO MORE minutes

I just colored my hair burnt gold and the results after four minutes was not enough so I re-did the whole process. Round two gave me perfect results. I love, love, love the results of my little bleaching stint!

Thanks Cosmo and Roanne for this recommendation! :-*
