MeMeMe Boho Balm Cheek & Lip Tint

Here's my review on "MeMeMe Boho BALM Cheek & Lip Tint"

COST: 450php
Bought it online.

My Opinion:
Boho Balm Cheek & Lip Tint as what the name implied, is a cream product to tint your lips and cheeks . It comes in two variants and each of which contains two different shades inside. Both have gorgeous colors that made it hard for me to choose which one to get for myself, and after forever of thinking I got the "Coral Taupe"  variant which has obviously the shades from it's name - Coral and Taupe.

more about this product after the jump.


Alright, I'm really not a fan of Mememe cosmetics and to be honest with you girly, I don't really know the brand that much and why I got this balm was because  the shades of each variant were into my likings :D Just like that ! lol And to give you an idea about the color pay-off, here's some swatches that I've made..



Coral

Taupe (top)


       THUMBS UP :
  • two shades in one
  • smells vanilla (unless you don't want that fragrant)
  • good color pay-off
  • lasts for an hour
  • blends easily
  • cute packaging
   
       THUMBS DOWN :
  • A bit pricey (specially for students)
  • availability (not available in the market)
  • triggers dry lips
  • consistency is sticky
  • it feels a bit heavy when use as a cheek tint

It's Personal: My First OGTT experience

Today I'll be sharing my personal experience about this test under "Chemistry" called "OGTT" which stands for "Oral Glucose Tolerance Test" according to my Doctor this is to test diabetes.

 oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), a standard dose of glucose is ingested by mouth and blood levels are checked two hours later. The test is usually used to test for diabetesinsulin resistance, and sometimes reactive hypoglycemiaand acromegaly, or rarer disorders of carbohydrate metabolism. credits to: wikipedia

In this process I had to do fasting for 12 hours straight and no water intake, for the first 8 hours blood was extracted for the first sample and he missed it (as expected)  until veins in my right arm collapsed :(( T'was painful than normal and so the nurse had to do it again on my left arm this time.
right arm ;(

left arm
     and they gave me this glucose drink..

I swear it's really concentrated! Few sip and your throat will hurt coz of too much sweetness!
Good thing it doesn't have that awful smell of medicine or else I'll throw up! I've waited for an hour for the 2nd blood extraction and went sleepy and oh so starving!

poor arm and veins ;( 
 Here's my arm after four blood extractions! It should have been the last one but right before we leave the hospital, the nurse called me for ANOTHER extraction.. YES another one again!! I almost cry out of frustration.
The Final act. lol
 Since they went overboard on my left arm they need to extract me on my hand which is by the way, freaking painful!
After enduring all this hell I had to reward my self a good food, after all it's freaking half  the day that I had to starve my self! 
Got me One Dozen yow! ;D

YUM :)

Blogging dilemmas!

You know you like blogging but you don't have the resources?
Big problem isn't it? As we all know blogging is quite costly, it requires a lot of things and time.
To name the few here's my basic and factual lists:

  • Computer
  • Internet Connection
  • A Good Camera
  • Money for blogging purposes (depends on what your blog is all about)
  • Time
  • Creativity
  • Props (depends on what your blog is all about)
In order to possibly start a blog you will need a computer device, it could be a desktop, laptop, netbook, and even a smartphone will do on this modern days. But this could be difficult to invest especially to students and non-woking gals like me. So before you can even start you will need some good fortune to put up your own blog site.
Next would be an Internet Connection, OF COURSE! Computer alone is not yet the key right?
You need a consistent if not permanent internet connection when you decide to put up your own blog. And if for you blogging is more than just a hobby, instead a job then you definitely want to look for a good internet provider that you can afford without sacrificing the joys of life. lol
