chellerose79 says "I like it sweet and healthy!!" about PureVia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener

chellerose79 — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 14:27:03 GMT

I got my free box of PureVia sweetener (thanks to Viewpoints staff coz i got my sample through them) the other day and i was really excited to try it so i put it on my tea, and it doesn't disappoint, in fact, it's really great!! I love the natural taste like it's real sugar only healthier with it's natural ingridients and zero-calorie content. I also tried it on some fruits and desserts and it's really good, there's no artificial aftertaste. PureVia is a great choice for people who watch their health and diet. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the sweet taste of food and stay healthy!

chellerose79 says "Xciting games for everyone!" about Xbox - x box 360

chellerose79 — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 03:36:04 GMT

I remember the days when i find extraordinary delight playing Super Mario or Pacman...i would fight with my little brother to get hold of the revered joystick controls...Looking at it now i can't believe how far computer and gaming consoles have come....And with the advanced interactive multiplayer freatures and awesome graphics , these console games like the Wii, PS and the Xbox 360 (which we have all in the house), playing is made much,much more fun and exciting!! And who says it's just for kids?? Even so, we can always say "there's a kid in everyone of us", and get away playing with this fantastic gadget....My husband likes playing Final Fantasy games & going on quests, I like playing Rainbow Six Vegas going on shooting missions :-) It's amazing how so many games you can choose from...and If you like to interact with other people, you can easily connect online and discover a more interesting, vast gaming world..It's awesome!! I'm sure many people would agree :-)

chellerose79 says "this blush is not for me" about Revlon Revlon Cream Blush

chellerose79 — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:09:07 GMT

Although i love lots of Revlon products, the Cream Blush is one i'm not crazy about...When there's a greater coverage involved, i just don't think a cream would work unless it's a facial day/night cream then that's a different story. What i don't like about this product is it feels greasy on my face (especially when going outside on a warm day) and messy on my fingers (it doesn't come with an applicator/foam and i've tried with a brush which didn't work with the creamy consistency). Also, it feels heavy on my cheeks and i keep worrying that it will get all smudged and messed up so i have to check every time :-(....I don't have oily skin but i feel like it when i use this product....Too bad 'cause i expected much more from this blush which comes in a great compact case with a pop-up mirror and a variety of great colors....Obviously this doesn't work for me, so that means i have to stick with powder blush which gives me the best results.

chellerose79 says "Revlon--you nailed it!!" about Revlon Nail Enamel

chellerose79 — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 12:40:26 GMT

I like doing my nails at home, and for my nail polish i choose Revlon Nail Enamel. I love the red colors so i bought Wine With Everything and it is really wonderful...It covers evenly and smoothly and i just need two coatings to get the result i want...It is hard as nail and doesn't chip for days, exactly the thing i want from a nail polish. To make it even more beautiful and durable, i just apply a Revlon fast drying Top Coat. You'll be amazed of how nice they look, it's like you had your nails done in a salon!!

chellerose79 says "lovely creme eye shadows for you!" about Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow 4 Shades Khaki Suede

chellerose79 — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 18:39:01 GMT

I bought a couple of Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow because i really liked the shade collection of the palettes and i wanted to see how a creme shadow would work for me. Anyway, i got the Not just Nudes and the Moonlit Jewels set...I am really happy with my purchase and will probably get another set of colors. The shades are so fun to play and match with my clothes and with the occasion...It's a little different at first 'coz i normally wear powdery shadows but it actually worked for me!! It stays on longer than others i have used and it is smooth to apply (it doesn't come with an applicator but i have found a great one so i don't have to use my finger). I love the somewhat shimmery effect especially when i am wearing it in the evening...And when i have time, i apply first my powder eyeshadow (neutral colors) from Elizabeth Arden and apply the Revlon Illuminance over it...the result is beautiful!! I have noticed though that it can get a little greasy if you apply too much...so just know...

chellerose79 says "pretty lipstick that works overtime" about Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor

chellerose79 — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 17:13:52 GMT

I use many different brands of lipsticks because i go for the types/colors that suit me rather than on the name....Well, lately i came to notice that i have more Revlon lipsticks than other brands i have on my dresser...And why not? I think Revlon has a great collection of lip products that ladies would love to indulge in. One of my favorites is the Colorstay Overtime Lipcolor simply because it does what it says...It stays all day long and i don't have to worry about reapplying every few hours....I can wear it in the morning and it's good 'til the end of the day. To liven it up, i just gloss it over (without even having to go to the powder room every time) and voila, back to pretty, luscious lips!!

To maintain a soft, smooth lips, i suggest that you don't use this everyday but alternate with an ordinary lipstick like the Revlon Super Lustrous...This is what i do because when i wear the Colorstay Overtime everyday, my lips get chapped, not because of any harsh content but because it is...

chellerose79 says "drink and be healthy" about Brita Contour Water Pitcher

chellerose79 — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:42:40 GMT

I am loving this Brita filtration pitcher......Instead of buying bottled water, it's more money wise to get this product and still ensure a safe, clean and great tasting water for your family. The filter can be used for a couple of months and you can always get a replacement that usually comes in 3-piece a box at affordable price. The slim design is also great for saving space in your refrigerator....And although it isn't a big container, water is filtered quickly so just refill and not worry about running out of water to drink..

chellerose79 says "gotta love coffee..." about Maxwell House FRENCH ROAST

chellerose79 — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:19:59 GMT

I often drink coffee in the morning to give me a boost & to start the day nice :-), I always choose the classic roast (of another brand) coz it's much better especially when i am adding other flavors to it ...Then i decided to try the Maxwell French Roast for a change...To my surprise, i really liked it...i enjoy the fresh, rich Arabica flavor and the wonderful aroma....It wakes me up in the morning perfectly.... I also like that even when i drink the leftover coffee, the taste is still great. What's more, it is priced reasonably compared to other brand...For coffee lovers out there, i suggest you try this flavor and enjoy the great taste for yourself!

chellerose79 says "Hear the difference!" about Bose - Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System

chellerose79 — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:35:12 GMT

Bose speaker system is really great...it is quite small but the sound is incredible!! You'll enjoy listening to your music in clear, solid sound...Even when you turn up the volume, the sound quality is the same...no weird, annoying noises whatsoever...It's perfect to hook up to your computer when you have a bunch of iTune songs you want to listen to a little louder..I'm glad we choose to buy this brand because it is excellent! I would recommend this to anyone planning to buy a multimedia speaker.

chellerose79 says "experience the beauty of Bangkok!" about Bangkok, Thailand

chellerose79 — Wed, 27 May 2009 16:53:01 GMT

My friend and i went to Bangkok a couple of years ago, and although we only got to stay in the city, we've had great fun sightseeing and just experiencing the everyday hustle and bustle of this crowded yet very interesting place....Like most Southeast Asian countries, weather is really warm. If you are in for an adventure and want to experience new things, try riding their local transportation called Tuk-tuk (a small 3-wheeled vehicle)..People are friendly, and many speak & understand english although the public signs are in Thai language.

Of course, the best landmark to visit is the Grand Palace...It is really majestic!! It covers a huge walled complex with many splendid temples, magnificent palaces, golden statues, and other amazing structures that will leave you overwhelmed...My friend and I spend the whole day walking around and going inside the temples and taking great pictures...In the afternoon, we still felt a day is not enough to enjoy the great beauty of this place...Anyway there...

chellerose79 says "Apple Mac is a star!!" about Apple MacBook Pro

chellerose79 — Mon, 25 May 2009 21:39:28 GMT

Macbook Pro is the best, ever!! It is very efficient and fast. Always dependable...I can do so many things with it and never have to worry about crashes, because it doesn't happen with Macbook (well, at least not on my part) The memory is huge i can upload so many pictures on iPhoto, edit and save them...I can download tons of music and videos from iTunes, i can do lots of text and documents processing, manage my mails and calendar, go on the internet, and use lots of other applications--and the efficiency is still awesome!! I'm glad we switched to a Mac laptop, it makes my daily computer use sooooo much easier....I used to have an HP computer and it was miserable...When i downloaded songs and videos or stored my photos, and with my constant use of the internet and word applications, it just started hanging & freezing...It was really irritating....Some days i wanted to throw it against the wall and just break it. Then finally, just almost a year from my purchase, it crashed and i had to...

chellerose79 says "Kuala Lumpur--a place to be in Asia" about Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

chellerose79 — Sun, 24 May 2009 16:14:12 GMT

Kuala Lumpur is one of my favorite places in Southeast Asia. It is an affordable destination with lots of great places to see and a long list of things to do...Depending on the time of year, the weather can get really warm and humid.

I would begin my review with the airport, KLIA..It is very nice and big with lots of good stores and signature shops...but a bit far from the city. It's an hour & a half drive to KL, and maybe more depending on the traffic. It's a long drive but there's lots of wonderful & interesting scenery along the way..

And now the city where there's lots of places to go to. One thing that you shouldn't miss out is to go see the Petronas Twin Towers...Everyone who visit KL should enjoy this magnificent landmark!! Good sight in the morning, superbly breathtaking in the evening!! I would suggest you start your day by going to this landmark and get to the skybridge (41st floor) to see the beautiful view of the city. They have free 15 mins. group tours to the skybridge but...

chellerose79 says "sensuous, elegant scent of Coco Chanel" about Chanel Coco Chanel Eau de Parfum

chellerose79 — Fri, 22 May 2009 15:44:53 GMT

I have always wanted to try a Chanel perfume but because they are a bit pricey, i would never buy it for myself. I couldn't really get myself to give out the money for something like this : - )...So, when my friend gave me a Coco Chanel perfume for a present, i was super duper delighted!! I love the rich, alluring fragrance...It evokes a mysterious, sexy elegant appeal. The smell stays on your skin for a long period. The only reason i gave this perfume a 4 star is because it's not a scent for all occasion...It is very lush that it is best for an evening, somewhat formal setting with a cool, subdued atmosphere. Perfect when you are dressing up and going out for a formal dinner with loved ones!! A light dab on your wrist or on your neck will last all night long. Anyway, i tried using it at daytime and it just didn't work for me...the rich, deep fragrance made me feel warm and overly scented. I only got a small bottle but boy, it lasts for a long long time....: - )

chellerose79 says "cool, breezy feeling & happy thoughts with D&G Light Blue" about Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue

chellerose79 — Fri, 22 May 2009 13:55:14 GMT

Another one of my favorite fragrances!! I got hold of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue perfume spray when one time i got stuck in an airport and to relieve my boredom, i wandered off to the duty free section. Lo and behold!! there were discount offers on cosmetics and also fragrances..And like many girls would do, i went shopping :-)...I have never tried a D&G scent before so i decided to buy the D&G light blue, and i have been a fan of this fragrance ever since...I love the fresh, clean, flowery smell. It has the exciting trace of apples and citrus and lots of other delightful ingredients, i can't really tell what but i just adore anyway. Light blue is for casual wear. It lasts long through the day and draws up a lively, joyful feeling!! The smell makes you imagine of beautiful beaches and seashores, simply wonderful! It is a perfect scent for a warm summer and great for active people who loves the outdoors....but i wear it anytime i want anyway :-) I would recommend this to anyone who prefers...

chellerose79 says "hmmm...delicious!!" about DKNY Red Delicious

chellerose79 — Thu, 21 May 2009 17:08:45 GMT

DKNY Red Delicious is one of my favorite fragrances. It is a perfume spray that comes in a cute red bottle & a box, with two sizes: 1.7 oz and 3.4 oz. It's a great idea for a birthday or christmas present!! It has a sweet, sexy, floral scent -- sisters, daughters, girlfriends and even our moms will definitely love it!! I like this fragrance a lot because it stays a long time on my skin, and it has a seductive, captivating hint to it but never overpowering..doesn't hurt my nostrils when i smell it :-). Also, I can wear it at any time, day and night and at any occasion, casual or formal. I'm glad of how my fiance and my friends compliment my fragrance every time i wear my DKNY Red. It's just wonderful! There is another DKNY perfume spray i tried and i also liked although it has a lighter, more youthful appeal to it, called Be Delicious, comes in greenish-yellow bottle. I would recommend you try both!!

chellerose79 says "radiant & beautiful!!" about Guerlain Divinora Radiant Colour Eyeshadow

chellerose79 — Wed, 20 May 2009 18:40:41 GMT

If you are looking for an eyeshadow that leaves a beautiful radiant colour on your eyelids, Guerlain Divinora might be the right one for you!! It stays longer than others, and although it is powder, it is ultra fine that it feels so soft and creamy on your eyelids. Works good for all skin types..It gives the eyes an even, somewhat luminous & soft shimmery effect, it is simply beautiful!! I use it not only on evening occasions but also at day time (I apply just a little bit to give a soft glowing effect on my eyes)...It also has mild moisturizing ingredients so you know your eyelids are well protected. It comes in single hues with a very cute yet classy case, and many fun, wonderful colours to choose from. I got myself a Vert Limpide/light green color and i totally love it!! It covers the eyelids easily with just a small amount so you'll be using it for a long time. It's one of my must-have items in my purse..

chellerose79 says "Guerlain bronzer is the one for me!" about Guerlain Terracotta Bronzer

chellerose79 — Wed, 20 May 2009 16:07:17 GMT

Guerlain Paris Terracotta Bronzing Powder is the best bronzer i ever had...I am glad that i decided to purchase this product, i have no regrets at all...Although i have a fairly tan Asian skin & brunette, I chose to try the light Blondes 01, it works very well for my complexion...I love the natural sheer tan color it gives to my face, and it never cakes, it feels & looks good all day long. It makes your face looking sun-kissed and flawless!! It is very good on the skin, doesn't irritate and never caused break outs on me. It comes in a nice compact with five different shades so you can actually play with the color effect you want for your skin tone. There is also the Brunettes 02 if you want a darker effect. Compared to other bronzers i bought before, this one is a bit expensive but i'd say you'll get your money's worth..much, much better than having to change bronzers every time because you can't get the results you want!!

chellerose79 says "I'm loving Love Spell" about Victoria's Secret Love Spell Gift Box

chellerose79 — Tue, 19 May 2009 01:32:27 GMT

I got a Victoria's Secret Love Spell collection as a Christmas present from my sister, and i loooove it!! I especially like the body mist and the body butter, the fragrance is just enchanting, it would make you feel like you are instantly transported into the middle of a beautiful delightful garden, and so does the people around you who'll love and be under the spell of your scent.. Of course it's not all about the fragrance, the body butter & the hydrating body lotion, for instance, have gentle natural ingredients that effectively leave the skin ultra soft and smooth...It's really good for moisturizing the skin after taking a bath or shower, and together with the relaxing fragrance of the body mist, it's a heavenly blend of scents..It's a scent you can wear any time of the day at any season! Also, it is reasonably priced and often times VS have collections on sale so you can get a really good purchase...I have also tried the Beauty Rush set, and it is also very nice in a sweeter, fruitier...

chellerose79 says "Nair just doesn't work for me" about Nair Hair Removal Creams

chellerose79 — Mon, 18 May 2009 23:03:55 GMT

I normally use feminine razor to shave my legs but because i've heard a lot about Nair hair removal lotion/cream on TV, i decided to try it just for a change even if i wasn't really pleased with the smell. I decided to use the Nair hair remover with the new formula & new fragrance. To my disappointment, it didn't give me the results i was expecting. It only removed a few hair and so i had to resort to shaving after that. Anyway, i thought maybe i didn't apply it properly so i tried it again, this time with another Nair product which is an extra-strength, 4-minute, no-touch roll on lotion. And although this one has a more overpowering smell, i still wanted to see if it will work for me because i wanted to find a product that would make my hair take longer to grow back, unlike shaving. So I followed the instructions thoroughly and i would say i had high hopes. And again to my dismay, it failed just like the first one...So after all that, i don't think i would want to try again. I guess...

chellerose79 says "P90X-Bring it!!" about P90X with Tony Horton

chellerose79 — Fri, 15 May 2009 16:02:02 GMT

P90X is AWESOME!! It's a 90-day exercise program that one has to follow through, but i was just on my 2nd week and i could already see the effects, i lost a few pounds and my muscles have become tighter, it feels great!! I personally like the CardioX & the Kenpo Karate, i find them less intense but they leave me feeling revived and invigorated every time...I couldn't really believe i got myself motivated to do this exercise because when i saw it on TV, i thought it was really extreme, so i didn't care about it...Anyway, my fiance bought the whole package but after a few days of workout, he stopped, so it was just sitting in the closet for a long time until one day, i decided to watch it, i chose the LEAN program..and to my surprise, i was up on my feet and sweating buckets (lol) just doing what Tony Horton and the rest of the P90X crew was telling me to do...Well, the first time was a struggle, i fell and stumbled a lot of times, but i just kept pushing myself and every day that i did...
