Struggling to hold on,
Gathering everything I've got,
Only to find they're all gone
My last hope, my last shot

Maybe you could enlighten me,
Where did they all go?
Oh I forgot, I remember long ago,
Don't embrace them, don't accept them with glee

Cos nothing ever lasts
No need to hold on to past
Its a worthless cast
Yes its a worthless cast

Left with an empty shell and memories
that cannot be re-lived
Is life really worth living?
Is the present worth suffering?

Tick tock, goes the clock,
You can toss and turn all you want
But it won't bring back anything you've lost

A broken bridge, a friend ditched,
You can count the stars,
But you can't count on friends.
They just come and go, so let them pass

Exasperation.

I just wanna curl up in a corner, or dig in the sand, make a hole, and bury my head in it.

Oop. The pictures are really small. Gah. I used my iTouch to take those photos as my camera wasn't working. I'll try uploading clearer pictures later on.
Right. So this is my FIRST nail polish review and this particular nail polish is from my own nail polish collection at home. I bought this while I was on holiday in Bangkok.
I remember buying it at Central World in Bangkok- highest floor, inside the supermarket.
I absolutely ADORE this colour and I simply HAD TO BUY IT. I loved it so much so that I actually bought three of this colour. One for my cousin and another spare for me ( in case I ran out of this polish).


Intro:
If I'm not mistaken, Prorance is a Korean brand and they offer 700 over items and specialize in cosmetics. Their products are now sold in over 20 countries around the world.


Review:
I've never heard of this brand previously and based on my research, it's quite hard to get your hands on Prorance products. HOWEVER, I have found a few stores (online and probably normal retail stores) that sells Prorance products in Singapore,Australia, and Thailand. I'm not too sure about Malaysia. I'm sure they do have it in Korea. Heehee. So if you're visiting Korea, make sure you get your hands on one of Prorance's nail polishes.I'm not sure about the other products but to me, based on this nail polish I have, Prorance can be classified under my "AWESOME NAIL POLISHES LIST"


Firstly, I have to say, I like the colour and I'm sure it'll suit just about any skin tone/colour. I am considered quite tanned and many a times, I find myself frustrated when I've found a stunning colour and yet it doesn't suit me. This particular shade, in my opinion, is very flexible as in suitable for tanned, dark and fair skin. I noticed that not many bloggers comment on this issue but I'm writing about this as this is one of the small details I look for when choosing nail colour. You may feel the same way too so I hope I've answered your question about this nail polish. Sometimes it's hard to judge whether or not the colour would suit you as the blogger's skin tone may differ from yours. However, you won't have any problems with this nail varnish.
Secondly, the formula is very smooth and is just about the right consistency. Not too thick, not too diluted either which, is another good point.
Thirdly, the packaging of this 15ml product is simple yet classy. I've seen other bloggers reviewing other Prorance products and to me, their classic and pretty packaging is one of their plus points.

A little bit off topic:
Prorance pearly nail colour (Mine's prorance manicure)Prorance Pearly Nail Color is a long-lasting and ultra-shiny nail lacquer is favored by professional make-up artists and is perfect for dancers who want to keep their nails looking beautiful and not have to worry about chipping and breaking during rigoro.


Bad points
~ Prorance, isn't very famous, so it may be quite hard to get.
(That's the only complain I have,really.)
~ They don't have an official website. I think they DID. But I can't seem to access to it so most likely it closed down.
~ There aren't many reviews about Prorance products so there's a risk when buying their products but now that I've one nail polish from them and judging by my opinion and testing of the product, I say it's safe to buy Prorance products as in, don't worry about the quality. (; It's all good.


Worth the $$?
It's so cheap, you wouldn't have to think twice. And YES. Yes it is worth your money, worth your time trying to find it and worth the time waiting for it to dry on your nails ;D~ Prorance, isn't very famous, so it may be quite hard to get.

The Body Shop's Born Lippy Review


My aunt bought this for me a few years ago (Mine has the older and slightly different packaging)


Description: Natural strawberry extract - Conditions the skin.
Organic beeswax - Moisturizes and helps to condition the hands and dry skin around the nail beds. Acts as a barrier that helps to seal in moisture. Helps to keep product texture consistent, when used over time. Helps protect and preserve the forest as well as providing necessary income for the beekeepers, an increasing number of which are now women.
Lanolin - Is one of nature's richest moisturizers. It is readily absorbed by the skin and so provides good protection for rough, dry hands.



REVIEW
Hmm. I like the fruity strawberry scent of this lipbalm and I think it's really cute that it comes in such a small container( another blogger described it as a little pot).
-Fresh,sweet and fruity scent that lasts quite long
-convienient( in little pots)
-Since it lasts quite long, one little pot is sufficient to last you a few years, although it ain't really healthy to hold on to make up products after a period of time
-It has a glossy effect
- Gives some colour to your lips
- Since I'm kinda sensitive to chemicals,etc, I'm really glad that this lipbalm didn't make me itch. I've tried other lipglosses and immediately after I remove and wipe them off, I start to itch and it's really annoying. So far, this lipbalm hasn't caused any problems yet.
-It's a really cute product and there are other flavours too. I also have the Plum Christmas Lippy one,which is like a glittery plum-purple color which I'll review later on. For Born Lippy, there are flavours like Watermelon, Orange, Mango Peach,etc.



YOU CAN GET IT @ The Body Shop stores (anywhere). So far, in all the Body Shop stores I've entered, I've seen this product being sold. Don't think this is a seasonal product. I'm positive this is one of their permanent products.
If you prefer tangy and a more tropical scent, you can choose mango peach, orange or mandrin. Strawberry and watermelon are more towards the sweet, girly, and summer-scents.
