Tom Ford or Chanel?

I'm in a dilemma . . can't decide what shades to get as an alternative to my Gucci's.  I initially wanted to get another pair of Gucci shades but decided against it so I may try other brands.  Am now torn between getting these . . .
Chanel shades

or these . . .

Tom Ford Sabine

Whaccha think?

Best Anti Ageing Creams

As we get a bit older, we need to exert extra effort in keeping our looks younger looking and fresh.  Having a dry complexion, I never had probblems with pimples or acne.  My main concern however as I reached my mid 30's, is that dry skin tends to age faster than oily skin.  I heavily invest on moisturizers and ant ageing creams. I have tried plenty, believe me but I can personally vouch for these 3 as the best for me:

Strivectin SD

This was originally formulated to treat stubborn stretch marks but countless women swear that it is the best anti wrinkle cream in the market.  I tried it and I could swear with the results afte one month.  The only drawback is that it is a bit pricey at $135.  But, it's money well spent.

Estee Lauder Perfectionist


Perfectionist by Estee Lauder is not only a very effective anti wrinkle serum, it also smoothens the skin.  One will immediately feel the effect after application.  It is a great  cream for the eye and forehead area as it drastically improves the appearance of the skin after a few application.  Regular price is $100 but one can get it from Amazon at a lower price.

Olay Total Effects

The best value for money moisturizer and anti ageing lotion in the local market.  SRP is only Php 750 but it can compete with high end creams.  I use this as a make up base for a well mosturized complexion.  Combined with Perfectionist or Strivectin, results will be obvious and fast.

Love this book . . .

I've always been an avid reader.  Since I learned how to read at an early age, books have been my best friends.  I'd rather read than watch tv or do anything else.  I have a wide collection of books by my favorite authors - Judith Mc Naught, Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown and Sidney Sheldon.  In fact I have a complete collection of all their published works.  My most valuable acquisition though are my 7 First Editions of Harry Potter books (yes, I'm a child at heart!).  I also have all Twilight books and my newest addition to my collection - the Percy Jackson books.  All five of them. 

I first got interested in Percy Jackson when I saw the movie The Lightning Thief as I have a fascination with Greek and Roman mythology.  The movie was ok but a friend mentioned that the book is much much better.  So, I bought the first book in the series and got hooked.  True enough, the plot and characters were more exciting.  In fact, the gist of the movie kinda deviated from the actual book. I finished the first 4 books during the Holy week (4 days!!).  I just purchased the final book The Last Olympian today as it was out of stock in almost all bookstores.  Good thing they still have a few left in Powerbooks Greenbelt 4.  I am so excited to read it. :)
