LOVE yourself

I learned that loving yourself is not always selfish. Sometimes it depends on what the circumstances is.

When I was young my mother always says, be good to others so that they will also be good to you. During my elementary and high school days, I've tried my best to be good. I'm always the humble, quiet and nothing to say but good type of student. (as to what I remember) I don't take sides in classmates' feuds nor say anything that will inflict others. Before doing something, I think of others first. That has always been the norm.

I always look in the goodness of people because that is what I am with my family. (And until now, I think there's nothing wrong with that.)


.........


During the mid of high school, I became sad. I spend more time alone.

That is when I notice that people around you already have a perception that if you're good, you're capable of doing nothing but good. And you can't suddenly change that. Little did I know that some of them are using that goodness back at you. You became important to some people because they are good having you. At first, it feels great being important. But days passed, if you didn't do anything as what they say, you're suddenly unimportant. (tears are starting to pour. T.T) You became all good and too boring for them.

It came to a point that I don't want to go to school but that's a big NO NO for my parents. See, they have that big big big expectations. I don't know where to go. "Barkada" in school is so much for me to handle. I felt I'm in the wrong crowd. And I never want to experience that bad feeling again.ever! -.-

I didn't like my high school nor do I hate. Because there are good and bad realizations I learned from there.

As I mature, I learned to love myself in such a way that I can also love back others because I already have that sense of individuality that I can share with them. And I'm so glad I found those people in college. They tried to build a new version of me. They let me experience friendship like no other. Step by step they're putting back the smile and confidence I have before.

At the end of the day, I don't blame those people in high school because honestly, a big part of it is my fault. If I just pick up myself and stand before their slant actions, I may even have a new version of me back then.

Quick FX Eyelift Cream

Yo! During the cold days last January, I felt I needed an eye cream. My eyes are puffy due to late nights and have fine lines underneath. So after few days, Watsons is the place to be. I found Quick FX eyelift cream together with their other lines. And hey, its made from Korea. 

It is so cheap compared to other leading eye cream like Olay. I guess since it is in a 10g sachet, it is really cheaper. I bought it at 49 pesos. I also notice before that there are a lot of supplies of this product in every branch of Watsons so it's easy to find.

The packaging claims to reduce fine lines, dark circle and puffiness. It also refine and tone areas around the eyes, so let's see.

Its active ingredients are Ellagic Acid and Niacinamide. Ellagic Acid is an anti-oxidant while Niacinamide whitens skin. hooray for that!

Honestly, the packaging is good however I don't know if the lid cover is just easy to break or I just have the wreck it Ralph hand. RAWR. I broke it after 2 weeks of regularly using. >.<

According to the directions, apply a pea size amount underneath your eye area stroking it from the inner to the outer region. Use it in the morning and at night.

Do you know that applying eye cream through your ring finger is the best way since it has the softest touch among all our fingers. :)))

After I wash my face, I regularly put this cream before any moisturizer every morning and at night. I am using this for a month already and honestly, I didn't see a lot of result. I just noticed that after I put this at night and wake up in the morning, my eyes' puffiness were reduced but the fine lines weren't. 

The cream is greasy so I pat it softly and let it dry for a while.

I don't know about other eye creams but, this eye cream does not irritate my eyes. It doesn't have fragrance in its ingredients list.

For those who are weary about paraben, sorry to say that it has.

I don't know how long shall I use this cream but as to what I know, it still deserves a second chance. It might help my fine lines after another month.

Right now, it is only half-full and I will still use it regularly. So I guess I can consume the 10grams for two months.

Many beauty bloggers love this product but it didn't work as much as I expected. So, overall, I give it

Next time I will try Quick FX Pimple Eraser. I will also have my review on that.

Have you tried this product? If not, what other eye cream have you tested? Kindly share your thoughts! Love to hear them. :)

Love and peace gals! :)))
