App Review: Boy Loves Girl

Hey everyone! I’ll be introducing some phone app reviews as well, for games and social. Since I’m such a tech geek, and I’m pretty sure this can be categorized in the lifestyle section. Am I right? Because during my spare time, when I don’t blog and don’t work, I usually just play games on my phone or using my mom’s Samsung galaxy tab.

So, there’s this game app on the app Store called Boy Loves Girl. There is a full version, but I’m only using the Lite version of the app, because I’m still trying it. But I tell you, IT IS SO CUTE!

Here are some snapshots:

I’m actually still on the second level. I know for sure that girls will love this game. It’s not that hard, and not easy too! From what I know, girls love to get chased by the guy they love. They may say the girl is hard-to-get, but that is typically what’s happening in the game, and if it’s in the game I find it really cute. Because she demands a lot of things for the boy. And the boy that loves her dearly carries this moon like a kite, and I don’t know why. Probably because the moon gives him light, and it makes a pathway. It also serves as his life. Quite dramatic, right?

For the graphics, I give it full 5 stars! It ‘s not that clear on the picture, but when I play it, the graphics are Hi-Def, which I love, and has a very friendly UI. For the game mechanics, it’s very easy since you only have to two directions to go, UP and DOWN. Although you do have to avoid those mean clouds (special mention to the thunder/lightning cloud). But if it sounded to easy, there are actually challenges you have to conquer before finishing a stage.

My favorite parts in the game are the flowers and the smiles when catching them.

All in all, I rate this game 5 out of 5. I enjoyed playing this (and still am, since I’m not done with the levels). It’s a great game for girls, and I find it adorable.

My Nightly Routine

May 15th, 2012 AT 9:19 pm

**IMP: I have changed my email address. For those who wants to contact me, please read on the sidebar, and it’s best to use the contact form so it’s much easier. Those who have contacted me before the change of email address, you can still contact me through that email. I’m still able to read them. Thank you!**

Another update from moi! This is just random, and I wanted to share you my nightly routine before going to bed. I don’t have fancy routines unlike others, because I only have few skincare products. So, before  I start let me give you a few points on why my face is so freaking white on the first photo.

Actually, the first one is edited, well I just upped a bit of brightness, and because of the white lights in the bathroom (white bulbs, and light from the) and my bathroom wall is also white, then the result is that. And I wanted to show you a much clearer photo of probably a natural looking make-up. And since I’m not an indoor photographer, I always have problems with lighting. :/ And this makes me soooo frustrated. But oh well, who cares! haha :p

For this natural make-up (experimental) look, I used NYX Powder Foundation (SMP 04), elf gel liner, and NYX lipstick.

I actually had a video for this, but too bad, since I couldn’t find my cute lil tripod (which I found in my sister’s room the next day),  it ended up recording the ceiling. HAHA! Failure on my part.

My nightly routine:

1. Took off my contacts. Took a Q-tip (cotton swab) and dabbed lotion (Vaseline) on the cotton for taking of the eyeliner. Well, I didn’t have any eye make-up remover, so I had to resort to other useful things.

2. Then, I waited for the water to become warm, and just washed my face. I then put a small amount of Clean & Clear foam facial cleanser. This cleanser also removes oil and make-up, so this serves as my second make-up remover. I use this to make sure that no make-up residues are left on on my face.

3. I used Belo’s whitening facial cleanser (the pink one). I absolutely love this product. I got this from the Philippine Festival in Tampa, Fl last year. Then washed my lips (to get rid of the lipstick) and brushed my teeth.

4. Lastly, I washed my face again with warm water. Then took the towel and slowly tapped it on my face. Kind of like dabbing it.

On to the next step:

ULTA Mini Haul

May 14th, 2012 AT 10:32 pm

Hey how’s everyone doing lately? Summer is just starting to kick in here, and probably for almost all of  my readers (who are from the Philippines) are dreading the ending of summer. But I am not here to talk about that. We can make our summer as long as we want, right?

So, a couple of days ago, I posted a sneak peak of the stuff I bought from ULTA on Instagram (follow me: @phyllzhime). I didn’t even know they had ULTA down in Lincoln Road in South Beach. I’ve been wanting to go and buy some beauty products, and I finally had the time to go.

Here are  the stuff I got:

  • NYX HD Studio Powder Foundation SMP 04 (Creamy Natural)
  • NYX Round Lipsticks in Gem, Stella, and Femme (Pink Shades)
  • NYX Matte Lipstick in Summer Breeze
  • NYX Eyebrow Pencil
  • Burt’s Bees Replenishing Lip Balm
  • Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25

I’m planning on doing a review on each of them, but I don’t know which one to do first. Which of the products do you want me to do a review on? Do you want me to make a vlog for that?

So far, I’ve used Jack Black  Lip Balm and I’ll do a review on it a week from now.

That’s it for my haul! :D Look forward to my next post! ^o^

For the ULTA store, I give the store a 5+ rating. Although it was my first time, the ambiance pulls me in and it was very serene. There were two floors. On the first floor, they sold cosmetics. On the upper floor, I think they had a salon there, but I’m not really sure.

Sparkling Lilac

May 1st, 2012 AT 10:09 pm

Good day everyone! As promised, for the next few months, I’ll be active in blogging. I have to sort out which to post though, because I rarely go out of my house, and I just do house chores.

And, I was thinking what I should do for my posts!

Well, for today, I’ll be sharing my nail color for the week! This is actually the only week that I’ll be having this, because some of you might not know that we’re not allowed to have nail polish at work. :( Kinda bummed out about it, but it’s fine.

This isn’t a tutorial, but I’m just showing you why I named my post “Sparkling Lilac”.

The picture defines it:

20120501-215115.jpg

Lilacism by Essie, Nail coat by Sally Hansen, “Happy Anniversary” Sparkle by OPI (not really sure about this one).

20120501-215122.jpg

I put on a base coat, then the Essie. I let it dry for a few minutes, then put another thin coat of clear polish, and then the OPI.

My nails are uber short, right?? I don’t have pretty nails, and the same goes for my toes! HAHA. I haven’t taken care of them in a while because I’ve been busy. I’m just waiting for them to grow a little bit long, so I can go to a nail salon.

Sorry for the blurry pictures, although I have iPhone, the cam doesn’t really live up to my expectations.

Hope everyone’s having a good night, or a good day for some people on the other side of the world!

Btw, just wanted to let you know that I made a new tumblr! Well, made another blog under my LUCKYREDSHOES tumblr. Since LuckyRedShoes is my photo blog (mostly reblogs), I made Glitters at Night for asks/requests/advices. You can talk to me there, and ask me anything. Just go to my ask box directly. This blog is kind of in the personal side, so any business related questions (like sponsors/ads) please use my contact form.

Don’t forget to follow Glitters at Night (tumblr), and I’ll follow back (through LUCKYREDSHOES). You can ask me about almost anything there! :) I’m just hoping that this would work. I really liked the name I came up with.

TTYL soon!

Love, Phyllz

OOTD: Sunday Morning Shades

April 29th, 2012 AT 6:28 pm

You know what’s the perfect song for today?

Sunday Morning by Maroon 5.

Because today is Sunday, and it has been raining ever since I woke up. Although the rain stopped, the sky is still very gloomy, but I really appreciate today’s weather. It’s calm, and no sign of humidity at all. The temp right now is 73°F, which is about 23°C. It’s just right. I’m actually glad it rained, got to relax, and take a few snaps for my outfit today. I won’t be uploading this on LB since this isn’t really fancy! :)

Today’s outfit is actually my everyday look. Sorta. This is how I usually dress up when I go out. Casual look. Shorts and top, with a few accessories, and sneakers.

Awkward smiles because I was trying to press the remote for my camera. HAHA

My I <3 Cebu bracelet I got from Cebu when I was there. Chain bracelet (that I treasure so much).

My Plimsols!! That I got from Urban Outfitters. I’ve been using this almost everyday at school. Very comfy and light. It’s actually a size bigger on me, but it’s still fine since I wear socks with it.

Oh hi there! It’s me. I’m wearing AnF top, and JewelMint necklace. And!!! As you can see, my bangs! This is the first time in my entire existence that I got a scissor and cut my fringe. I don’t really know if it looks nice or not. But, I just wanted to get rid of those old hair, and it was annoying so I had to cut my hair! >.<

And for the eyes…. As usual, pink! I actually used RIMMEL London 013 Sweet Smoulder eyeshadow pallet. (Sorry, forgot to take a pic). I opted for a subtle look, so it would look sweet and cool at the same time. Which I think is perfect for today.

Talk to you all soon!

Love, Phyllz
