hahaaa, infomercials - eto nechto nezabyvaemoe. Chasy provedennye pered televizorom, i bespoleznye tonny informacii v moem mozgu… hahaaa, i am glad i don’t see those anymore.

wow, Body Shop is cheap??? whenever I go there, for SOME reason I end up with a 10 bucks balance for the rest of the month….Their stuff is pretty good though. I like L’Oreal stuff, some of it, and it is not advertised actually. It is ok, I guess, but I am afraid to try something new. I used to buy Evian stuff, but it was so expensive that I, as a student, couldn’t afford it anymore.

I have some japanese facial masks that were supposed to miraculously improve my skin’s condition (it’s kinda dry in some places and oily in others), and, well, it didn’t. In fact, I think it made it worse. And shit, I paid lotsa’ money for that.

man, all of this makes me think that all the stuff in stores is crap, which it is probably.

I’ve used Gatsby hair gel for the longest time. To which I fancy myself as a metrotaku or something lawl.

Sometimes the cheapest crap works the best.

The $2 facewash I got at a local grocery store works to much better than the Clinique set that I spent nearly $100 on. Shiseido’s the same. It feels like it’s working so well the first couple of times you use it, but after that it’s really no diff. than washing your face w/ handsoap.

My friend says the tea oil stuff from The Body Shop’s pretty good though…never tried it myself, and she stopped using it after a couple of months too.

[...] boxes of the stuff laid out for me like pre-packaged heart attacks. Which is probably why I found Hinano’s post on buying merchandise interesting because I own two wall scrolls. That’s [...]
