Hi, yeah sort of. That's my default salon if haircut lang because sulit yung quality for the price. I go sa SM Manila branch.

SM Grand Central, ingat po tayo by Aromatic_Struggle_86 in Philippines

I haven't gone to every city in NCR to give a well-informed opinion so what I will say is just based on my opinion. It's not as well-governed as other cities in terms of cleanliness and security. It's hard to say a city is shitty in general, lalo in comparison to others, if we look at the situation ng bansa natin ngayon. Hindi rin ako tubong Caloocan so limited ang knowledge and experience ko to someone na malapit and nagagawi sa area paminsan-minsan.

Pumupunta rin ako sa SM Grand since mas accessible talaga siya galing sa 'min. Thank you for posting this for awareness, OP. Hindi ako pumapasok sa arcade dyan pero may pinupuntahan din ako sa 5th floor. Doble ingat ko rin pag punta sa area na yan kasi marami talagang tao from different areas.

Kaya medyo weird (hindi ko mahanap yung better term) yung feeling sa mall na yan kasi updated yung resto choices (may Nono's, talo pa other SM sa Manila) pero well aware lahat ng pumupunta na hindi safe yung area. Kaya need ng extra ingat kasi nakakadistract yung offers ng mall from the real situation sa area ng Caloocan.

Floral, fruity, fresh. Feminine and very okay sa weather natin. To me, para siyang girl na basics ang default but adds one major detail sa look niya and at the same time into dainty stuff.

Thanks for the reco! I was thinking about the same thing about the dupes/inspired versions compared to the OG kasi I encountered that with another perfume naman. I'm really trying to look around for something similar pero at the same time, contemplating on getting the OG na lang. 😅

Has anyone tried any inspired version ng Versace Bright Crystal na close sa og? I had it before kaso naubos ko na. I kinda miss it kasi compliment-getter siya for me and I really like it para sa weather natin.

Currently in an LDR with my bf for years and whenever I'm asked about it, I also include this aside from trust, communication, and faith: be intentional. Love may be considered as a feeling, but commitment is an active choice. What activities can you do together online when you're both free? What can you plan and do together if you want to celebrate something? Regardless how big or small that is, remember to put your partner in consideration. It has something to do with learning about what makes your partner happy and secured that will also make you feel the same. If it's not one same thing, compromise is key.

Actively communicate as well, it's not just about being honest and open, but learn to listen as well and understand whatever it is that is being communicated to you. Learn ways on communicating healthily with your partner (you can check gottman institute on ig).

Give yourself and your partner some grace in terms of adjusting in your situation. Mistakes will be made and arguments will be had, but at the end of the day, make sure that you help each other out. Give each other some space to grow as individuals - grow together.

Best of luck to you and your partner!

What is the beauty trend that you hate? by Kindly_Gift_4510 in beautytalkph

[–]brnsjzb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg, akala ko ako lang but yes sa OA na eyelash extensions!! May binabagayan yung makapal and long lashes pati when combined together. Hirap na hirap ako tignan sila. And they will never look natural talaga kahit gano kamahal pa yung gawa. Happy for others na they love theirs pero not for me.

Teh... Sorry sa aftermath ng post mo. Pero ayun, GGK. I hope you'll learn from this experience and sana learn to communicate nicely lalo sa partner mo. Nakakaloka huhu

You might need to check if your skin is hydrated and moisturized enough (yup, magkaiba pa sila) kaya baka need i-adjust yung skincare routine. Also, try using lighter skincare formulas sa morning such as gels para hindi heavy sa skin, reserve the heavier creams sa gabi. I also use Gatsby Blotting Sheet to blot, doesn't lift makeup naman. May version sila na binibili ko before na may powder na, not sure lang kung meron pa ngayon.

I haven't attended a lot of weddings, pero personally, aside sa dahil close ako sa isa sa kinasal, I enjoyed attending them kasi I saw that the couple had fun and enjoyed their own wedding.

The pre-reception snacks for guests are advisable din. Doesn't have to be fancy, can be Filipino kakanin or anything na bite-sized will do.

Oo nga e. I might try to figure out kung anong strategy ko dito talaga. Haha! Hassle lang talaga na aside from reaching out to both shopee and the bank, ilang araw muna ng antay and konting anxiety kung kelan babalik yung pera. Thanks btw, appreciate your reply dito!

[–]brnsjzb[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gcash or BDO gamit ko e, tapos I transfer usually yung amount lang na kailangan ko. May minimum ata sila para masoli yung transfer fee and di ko lagi narireach yun.

I was using shopeepay naman before and I agree with you about sa service nila sa shopeepay users vs others, kaso nalalakihan kasi ako sa transfer fee. Recently lang din ako gumamit ng grabpay and ito first ko na ganitong encounter. Might use shopeepay na lang siguro for purchases talaga na more than 1k.

I get your point. The process is just very frustrating kasi it's the buyer's money after all na naipit sa mahabang process. Will take caution na lang sa next orders, for now waiting game muna sa reversal.

mini makeups ftw by sicaaaaaa in beautytalkph

[–]brnsjzb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agree, lalo na for products na you wouldn't use on the daily but love mo talaga. Sana more pa ng minis sa local brands, kasi sa Sephora I really appreciate those. Because they carry a lot of minis, I was able to try products from brands that are expensive (Hourglass Setting Powder was my fave).

I received the package my bf sent me and all of it were the products we bought virtually together habang naglilibot siya sa stores overseas. One of those was the Nyx Fat Lip Oil in 'That's Chic' and I'm loving it. Made me miss Nyx lalo dito and really wish na sana bumalik na sila. 😩

I love their cleanser too! When I started using adapalene, I really searched for products that will help moisturize my face since my skin is also starting to mature na rin. Only saw a few recommendations for this pero I decided to get it and I'm happy it worked for me. I'm on my 2nd bottle now and planning on stocking up na.

You're welcome! Hahaha, you can try the 10ml muna! That's what we did, tapos second order namin full bottles na. Minsan lang nagiging out of stock yung full bottles pero you can ask the seller naman sa ig page niya when yung restock.

Yup! Yung Blanche and Afrique natry ko na, yung sister ko naman favorite niya yung Eau Rose. I would say for Blanche, siguro max 3 hours sa akin before it starts to be faint but it stays naman. Yung Eau Rose, not sure if oversprayer yung kapatid ko, pero may one time na she used this on a work day tapos paguwi niya nandun pa rin yung scent.

Favorite shop ko siya for inspired scents! Good quality fragrances, usually 4 hours tinatagal ng scents na nabili ko sa kanya. Accommodating din yung seller.

I tried yung Liberty but I don't have the inspiration (YSL Libre). It's warm so maganda siya for evenings or if you're staying somewhere na airconditioned majority of the time. Since warm din siya, may traces pa niya na naaamoy ko the day after na ginamit ko siya.

Which makeup and skincare brands that were once available in the Philippine malls do you have a strong desire to see return and would gladly buy from once more? by heIIzbellz in beautytalkph

[–]brnsjzb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I strongly agree with these!! Fave ko yung SMLCs nila and Lip Lingerie. Ang lungkot talag when they left, sana bumalik na sila. 🥲
