The bad news for the Baltimore Ravens in their 2009 NFL regular season opener was that their vaunted defense gave up 24 points despite holding a decided advantage in every other statistical category. The good news was that their offense was more than up to the task, answering with 38 points and a franchise record 501 yards. All told, the Ravens opened their season on a winning note beating the Kansas City Chiefs 38-24.

NFL sports betting devotees who took the +13 points with the Chiefs as a road underdog were hard luck losers as the Ravens managed to cover the pointspread by a single point. The win evened Baltimore’s ATS record over the past three seasons at 18-18, while the Chiefs fell to 14-19 in the same timeframe. The 62 combined points scored easily exceeded the posted total of 37. Baltimore’s has shown a decided bias to the OVER in recent years with 22 OVER verdicts in their last 35 games.

Afterwards, Joe Flacco was clearly happy with the opportunity to throw the ball more than usual:

“It’s awesome. It’s so much fun. As a quarterback, that’s what you want to do.”

Ravens coach John Harbaugh expressed confidence in his team’s ability to make plays:

“We’re going to throw more if it helps us win games. I think that we will be capable of throwing the ball more ways than we did last year. We have really good players that can make plays.”

Chiefs backup quarterback Brodie Croyle played relatively well in a losing cause. Filling in for the injured Matt Cassel, Croyle put up 177 yards on 16 of 24 passing and 2 touchdowns with no interceptions. Cassel is still listed as ‘game to game’ with a knee injury suffered in preseason practice. Despite the solid performance, Croyle was in no mood to talk about his personal accomplishments in the wake of the loss:

“Play well, don’t play well — if you don’t win, you still have the same feeling and that’s where I’m at.”

In his post game comments, first year Chiefs coach Todd Haley gave props to his quarterback :

“I thought Brodie Croyle gave us a chance to win today and that’s all I’ll ever ask my quarterback to do. I got to give credit to Baltimore. They were a throwing machine today. They threw the ball probably a lot more than we anticipated.”

The Ravens now head cross country to take on the San Diego Chargers in southern California next Sunday. After that theyll return home the following week to take on the Cleveland Browns. Kansas City will host the Oakland Raiders next Sunday before heading to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles the following week. The Chiefs are hoping that QB Matt Cassel will be able to start against Oakland, or the following week at the very latest.

Caudalie Lip Conditioner is 99.5% natural origin, it smells and tastes like sweet Vanilla for me.

Review:
Product sample size is 3ml.

I got this sample, thinking that it works something like (Ginvera) Marvel Gel. But I think I might be wrong (someone, please tell me?). The peeling gel feels rough on my dry skin, and made it turn red, though the final result was smooth skin. It felt like microdermabrasion!

I used some on my feet (which turned dark after a day in the scorching sun) and they were lighter in colour after rinsing off the scrub. So it does work to a extent, but I wouldn’t get it again.

Review:

The mask was a sample from B.Liv’s PR team and I remembered Xiaxue reviewing it before so I was quite pleased to receive it. However, I was soon disappointed by the lack of thought that went into designing the sample packaging.

The mask is a thick paste, almost like wall plaster, so it took all of my strength to squeeze the mask out from the small bottle (made from hard plastic). The first time I used it, I only applied a thin layer since it was difficult getting the mask out. I had to use both hands to squeeze the bottle, then had to quickly ‘catch’ the mask before it drops into the sink.

Second time I used it, I pulled off the squeeze tip with a pair of scissors and used the end of a cotton bud and a clean blackhead extractor to ‘dig’ the mask out. Even then, it took me close to 10 minutes before I was able to cover my face with a thick layer, as instructed. TIRING.

The mask contains tiny beads that helps exfoliate the skin as you apply it and wash it off later. I’m not sure if I was supposed to let the mask dry as it was already pretty dry and remained the same texture close to 15 minutes later. As I rinsed the mask off, I gently scrubbed it over my face and the pores on the sides of my nose were slightly reduced. The scrubby bits didn’t make my acne scars more obvious though I thought they were a little bit too harsh.

You definitely have to use a moisturizer after that as it’s quite drying. I could feel my cheeks getting tight after I dabbed the water off.

I don’t think I’ll get the full-sized product as the dry texture of the mask and lousy packaging were quite a hassle for me.

Pretty packaging… that is the main reason why I bought this makeup base. Other than Moist version, Lavshuca Makeup Base also has pore concealing and UV protection versions, apparently the pore concealing is most sellable one amidst these three. I am also fussy about the visible pore, however I knew very well that mine is [...]

A jar of loose powder takes me forever to finish it. Standing before the Lavshuca counter, I was thinking to get an eye shadow palette initially, they are so pretty; but considering my makeup behavior, I rather go for the butterfly knot. Yes, I paid  HKD96/9.8g for the purple, simple, cute butterfly knot, not for [...]

Item Reviewed: Off with those Heads

Price/pack size: US$63 (45ml)

Available at: Online – no information was provided on where to get b.liv. It used to be available in Sasa but I don’t see the brand anywhere now! Weird!

Ingredients:

Purified Water (Aqua), Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) Extract, Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) Extract, Carbomer, Propylene Glycol, Menthol, Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) Oil, Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl)Α-(Donyl Phenyl)-Ω-Hydroxy, Sodium Hydroxide, Perppermint (Metha piperita )Oil, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea.

Description: Off With Those Heads removes white & blackheads without violence or pain, and stops them from appearing ever again. The gel softens the clogging blocking your pores, allowing for effortless extraction and removal of all sores. Its essence ingredients keep oil secretions under control, and skin irritation will never again rule!

Use Off With Those Heads daily, on your cleansed, towel-dried face:-

1. Pump 2-3 pea-sized drops of Off With Those Heads onto your palm.

2. Apply on T-zone areas, or areas with black and whiteheads.

Review:

This is a follow up review from Cellnique’s Pro Sebum Gel (they have now repackaged it and are selling it under B.Liv brand name). I didn’t realise how bad my blackheads were when I stopped using Cellnique. And it was a silly reason for not using it – I didn’t like the brand name B.Liv and the childish packaging. I still prefer the previous elegant looking bottle.

Anyway, the product is still the same – transparent runny gel that spreads easily onto skin and absorbs quickly. There’s a cool sensation on skin, due to the peppermint oil. It dries matte so I can skip the powder if I want.

A few days after using OftH, I tried doing an extraction myself and the blackheads popped out easily, with nary a pressure! I had used the product for about a month when I went for a facial and I checked with the lady if I had a lot of blackheads. She said “no!”, so I was really pleased that the product worked. Usually, I would have many blackheads if I did not do my regular extractions.

Rating: 5/5

Would I buy again: Yes, if it is easily available

Sensitive nose like me, I hardly addicted to any fragrance, especially I can feel dizzy and vomitous with wrong fragrance. This Biotherm Biosource Hydra-mineral Cleanser is one of the exception. It particularly attracted me by its sweety, refreshing, florally scent. The pleasure of “green-tea” smells heavenly to me.

I suppose a moisturizing lotion will greatly help with drier skin condition, but realized that isn’t flexible in my living country. My skin can be combination or normal or dry from time to time, which out of my prediction. In such case, adding moisturizing oil can be more powerful to address the issue with minimum [...]

From my previous experiences with gentle eye makeup remover, none of them able to remove extreme waterproof mascara thoroughly in a minute. Technically Bi-phase (dual layer, oil and liquid) kind of remover should be the effective one for any eye makeup because oil is still the best and gentle ingredient to dissolve makeup. Being practical, many [...]

Item Reviewed: Dr Jart Black Label Detox Healing BB Cream

Price/pack size: S$32 for 50ml tube

Available at: exclusively at Watsons

Ingredients:

- Arbutin : Whitening

- Pore Purifying Complex : Provides Oxygen to Your Skin

- Hyaluronic Acid : Mosturizing

- Coenzyme Q10 : Gives Your Skin Tension

- Centella asiatica extract : Protects Your Skin, Relief

Description:

Triple-function of whitening, wrinkle decrease and UV protection. It has a soft, moist application and provides a natural skintone.

Review:

The sample received is a small tube, around 5-7ml?

Texture of the BB Cream was runny, much like a liquid foundation, or even a tinted moisturizer. It spread easily on skin, without much tugging. However, it lacked coverage. It melted into skin and disappeared. It looked like I applied tinted moisturizer, with my scars still very much visible. I have some dark scars from my acne days and I often use mineral makeup to cover the scars. I thought I might be able to use less mineral makeup if I used a BB cream under it. It was weird for me because I also have the silver label and it has pretty good coverage! Black label was runny and thin on the contrary. I still had to use the same amount of mineral foundation to get the coverage I want. It was as though I didn’t apply the BB cream.

The sample was generous though – a mini tube very handy for traveling.
