Olay Total Defects

Plug muna: VS Pink with a Splash FRESH & CLEAN is up for sale. Details below.

Last weekend, I woke up to extremely swollen eyes that my mom thought I’ve been crying all night, eh night shift duty kaya ako so how could I be crying? The swelling didn’t disappear til dinner time so it was clearly not just an ordinary puffed eyes from oversleeping. I recounted the food that I ate during our night shift but all I took was coffee, biscuits and Mr.Chips so malamang hindi yun dahil sa mga kinain ko. Aside from that, i couldn’t recall anything unusual that happened the previous day so since we cuoldn’t figure anything out, I just took an antihistamine to relieve whatever allergic reaction I was going through. Fortunately, it was gone when I woke up on Sunday so natuloy din ang parlor day ko

I went on my usual afternoon duty last Monday, came home at 11pm, cleaned my face, took a bath then applied moisturizer. I went online for a few hours before I went to bed at around 4am. When I woke up at 11am, MY EYES WERE SWOLLEN AGAIN! I recalled what I did before going to bed and then it came to me, Olay Total Effects. Yun pala ang culprit!

Kasi I was reading the forums last week and read so many raves about the product at since inggitera ako, bumili rin ako. I first tried it when I got home after my night shift duty and applied it before I went to bed which explained the first incident. I didn’t apply it on Sunday night but I applied it on Monday night after I took a bath, which caused the second incident.

I’m super sure na authentic yung nabili ko coz as what the forum advised, it was beter to buy it from Mercury Drug kasi siguradong hindi fake. And so I did.

Bakit namaga ang eyes ko?
I believe I’m allergic to the product and I’m one of the unfortunate few na hindi hiyang sa Olay Total Effects.

Do I hate Olay Total Effects?
No. Malas lang talaga ako.

Will I recommed this product to others?
Yes. Because despite of what happened to me, marami pa rin talaga ang nagsasabing maganda ang effect nito.

Will I try the product again?
Hell no. (But there’s a gentle formula for sensitive skin and I’m thinkin of giving that a try but I just might find another brand of moisturizer instead.)

What did I get from this experience?
-Swollen eyes. Twice.
-The lesson that not everything that works for other people will work on you.
-And the discovery that Olay Total Effects doesn’t work for me. Now I can move one with my life. (Matagal na kasi akong curious sa product na to).

and…..

New clothes!!

Since I wasn’t able to go on duty today (kasi ayoko namang maduty with hideous eyes. plus the neverending questions), I went out with my mom. Window shopping. Eating. Shopping.

So basically, today wasn’t so bad after all. Sana lang ok na to bukas para makabalik nako sa duty. I’m overdosing myself with antihistamines to speed up the effects. Bad idea, but I’m desperate!

For those interested, the Victoria’s Secret Pink with a Splash FRESH & CLEAN is up for sale!

I got them from ebay.com for $60 ($40 for the cologne & $20 for shipping) so I’m selling them at 900Php each including shipping na. The yellow one got sold and the pink one is, after all, going to my kid cousin. So only the FRESH & CLEAN (blue cap) is available.

This one smells like D&G Light Blue but lighter and more feminine. Fresh and clean talaga (The yellow one was citrusy while the pink one was sweet)

Why am selling it? Because I’m fickle minded when it comes to colognes. One second I’m obsessed with this scent and the next thing you know, I have a new favorite scent na. Nagwewelga ang mom ko everytime she sees a new cologne in my dresser which is why I have to keep her off my room at times.

I’m actually eyeing another scent na naman which is why I’m letting these 3 go.

Payments can be sent thru BPI deposit or Gcash. I can accept Paypal payments but I’ll have to charge $24 if through Paypal kasi may fees and deductions when you withdraw your funds, diba?

So yun, comment nalang dito if you’re interested

Surprise Package

Late last month, I placed an order for a set of 3 Victoria’s Secret Pink with a Splash Colognes on ebay.com since I couldn’t find a local online shop that sells them for a reasonable price. I also wanted to roadtest my Paypal funds so eventhough shipping was quite expensive, I went through with the order. Withdrawals to local bank accounts still wasn’t allowed last month so I had no other options but to spend my Paypal funds online.

The seller said she was gonna ship the items through the US postal service priority mail, and knowing how crappy our post office is, I gave her my aunt’s address since they live in a hotel so there would be less chances of my mail getting lost than having them deliver it to my address. I received a confirmation message from the USPS last Jan25 that my items have been paid by the sender and will soon be shipped (sosyal talaga ang US post office, may email confirmation pa). The seller told me it would take around 15-20 days for my package to arrive so knowing that the package wouldn’t be here til mid-February, I kinda forgot to inform my tita that I addressed my package to her home.

Since I’ve been kinda pre-occupied with my volunteer work these past few weeks, I never got to talk to my tita until last night when they crashed our house for dinner. I remembered about the package but decided to tell her before they went home nalang kasi ang dami niyang kwento. After dinner, I was helping my cousin with her Math exams when she asked me if I’ve heard about her “surprise package” from an unknown sender. Apparently, my package had arrived last Monday but since I haven’t told her about it, she had no idea who the package was from. The sender was Chinese so she could hardly pronounce the name. She called her husband in the US to ask if any of them sent a package but no one did. She set aside the colognes and decided not to use them until she found out where it came from. When they learned that it was mine after all, my cousin got pissed by the fact that the package wasn’t theirs after all Heheh. She was eyeing for the pink one pa naman daw. Now that I got my package from them, she’s still pestering me to sell the pink one to her. Eh she’s still in 6th grade! I told her she should just wear her Nenuco colognes kasi it’s more suitable for her age. She said nagsawa na daw siya kasi yun din gamit ng teacher niya. Do 6th graders wear Victoria’s Secret?

Now that the mystery has been solved, they can all sleep in peace and I shall go get ready for my night shift duty.
