I have been using the Neutrogena Wave since I got it a couple of days back. As a techie lover of a kikay that I am, I cannot help but swoon over this trendy gadget during the launch. I so love it!

Neutrogena Wave is such a fun way to deeply remove dirt, oil and makeup off my face. You really won’t miss the tingly and cool feel as the vibrating power cleanser does its job. The sweet thing about this is when I used it and some suds went into the sides of my eyes, baby, there were no tears! That’s something unexpected and I was pleasantly surprised about. :-)

A friend from a micro blogging social networking site gave this link that landed on the scary reality of local celebrities getting into this bandwagon of looking like a “bisugo” (a fish characterized by a prominent pouty upper lip). If I am not mistaken, the article was entitled, “Bisugo Girls” or something.  Read the rest of this entry »
