My Current Beauty Favorites!

Hello!

I want to share with you my current favorites! I know I posted a favorites for the month of January and I haven't posted a "favorites" blog since then. Gosh, I am so bad at these favorites blog post. Haha. 

I only have a few current favorites. I guess I have been trying a lot of skincare, beauty and hair products these past few months and only a few of them stood out! So, let's get started!

1. Current Fave Foundation: Wet 'N Wild Ultimate Match Foundation with SPF 15 in the shade Bisque

I love this foundation! It provides great coverage without sacrificing a natural look! It blends really well with my skin and it has SPF to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. I will be posting a review about it soon!

2. Current Fave Moisturizer: Celeteque Facial Moisturizer with Triple Moisturizing System

This moisturizer is so light weight! It doesn't feel heavy on your skin and it makes your face soft and moisturized all day. I find that this really works well with my oily-to-combination skin and it really blends well with whatever foundation I use.

3. Current Fave Scent: Snoe Beauty Scrumptious Body Spritz in Honey Dew Melon Yogurt

This smells so yummy! I couldn't say anything more about this product other than I LOVE IT!. I have already reviewed it here.

4. Current Fave Nail Polishes: Wet N Wild Nail Polishes in Casting Call and Blue Moon

Aren't these lovely colors? Gorgeous!

5. Current Fave Bronzer: ELF's Golden Bronzer

This is perfect if you want that natural bronzy or goddess-like look! I use this everyday to contour my face and to give me a natural glow!

6. Current Fave Eyeliners: ELF's Liquid Eyeliners

I have really been into liquid eyeliners lately and I think that I am getting good in applying them. I love these ELF Liquid Eyeliners because they last all day and they are very easy to apply!

Swatches: Midnight (navy blue), Black and Coffee (brown)

Please comment below and let me know what your current beauty favorites are! I would love to hear from you!

Till my next blog post!

Get your mask on!

Hi guys!

I don't know about you guys, but I love face masks! I love all kinds of face masks and my favorite are those that harden while on your face. Haha. My favorite face mask (which I have been using for 4 months already) is the Snoe White Vitamin C-Rich Calamansi Whitening Detox Clay Mask. This mask has replaced the St. Ives face mask which has been my favorite for more than a year already!

Let me tell you a bit about this amazing product:

It contains herbs and some active ingredient like Activated Bamboo Charcoal (which unclogs pores and removes dead skin cells), Kaolin (which cleanses, purifies, heals, soothes, nourishes and tones all skin types), and Collagen (which rejuvenates and delays aging skin). Its main ingredient is Calamansi.

"Calamansi helps eliminate deep-seated dirt that has accumulated within the skin pores. The fruit can be used for whitening and bleaching the skin. It is rich in Vitamin C and Alpha Hydroxyl Acids (AHA). A natural astringent that can eliminate blackheads and can dry up pimples.

What this product basically does is to cleanse your face from all impurities, leaving it soft and refreshed. When applied on the face, it hardens and your face tightens after about 2 minutes and you'll really feel like the dirt is being sucked out of your pores. I use this product once a week and I leave it on my face for 5-10 minutes.

Another thing that I like about this product is that it is made in the Philippines by a company called Snoe Beauty! This product is 100% Pinoy!

The product comes in a small 40 gram tub. This product, however, will last you a long time because a small amount goes a long way. I've been using this product for 4 months now and I still have a lot left!

The mask looks like a muddy substance with a gray color. Okay, I think I just made that sound yucky! But, trust me, this product is the BEST!

The verdict:

Quality - A++++

I just couldn't stop gushing about how awesome this product is! It has done wonders for my skin. My skin looks lighter, softer and with lesser impurities.

Packaging - A

There's nothing really special about the way the product is packaged. It is just in a small tin gray tub with the sticker labels and product description. But I love how this product comes in a tub instead of a tube. Imagine how difficult it would be to squeeze the product out.

Price - A

This costs Php 249 or around $5-6. I know this is expensive for a 40 gram product. Like I said, it will take you a long time to consume one tub of this product. But, I wouldn't mind paying good cash for a great product like this one!

I really recommend this product to every girl out there! If you have tried this product, please comment below and let me know how you liked it!

Till my next blog post!

Let's talk hair!

Hey!

How's everyone doing? The weather is really crappy right now here in the Philippines, which is okay 'cause I could just curl up in the couch with a good book. ;)

Anyway, I wanted to blog about my current favorite hair products. If you guys don't know, I have rebonded hair. I like my hair sleek, straight, soft and shiny and it's hard to maintain rebonded hair. I find that two products work best for my hair: LORYS HAIR CREAM IN FRUIT COCKTAIL and FX MOROCCAN MOISTURE MIRACLE ARGAN OIL LEAVE-IN SPRAY.

FX MOROCCAN MOISTURE MIRACLE ARGAN OIL LEAVE-IN SPRAY

"Shear weightless golden mist. Hydrates and adds glistening shine"

At first, I hesitated about buying this. It costs Php 399 at Watson's for pete's sake! But, it's a good thing that I decided to get this. This hair product is amazing! Hair products with Moroccan Oil and Argan Oil are the craze right now and I really wanted to jump into this bandwagon.

This product not only gives my hair a nice shine; it also helps keep stray hairs in place. The thing that I love about this product is that it's not greasy. When I apply it on my hair, it just blends in really well with my hair and it doesn't make my hair feel heavy as most oil-based products do.

I use this product everyday to give my hair that standout shine (it can be used on damp and dry hair). I sometime use it at night just to lock in the moisture in my hair.

LORYS HAIR CREAM IN FRUIT COCKTAIL

"Softness and shine for all hair types"

I have probably tried all variants of Lorys Hair Cream. But the one in Fruit Cocktail is my favorite! It just smells so good!

I use this as my daily conditioner. I leave it on for about 2 minutes then I rinse it off my hair.

 Once a week, I leave it on for 15 minutes to deep condition my hair and to lock in the moisture into my hair.

Lorys, which is made in Brazil, costs around Php 185 at Watsons for a 450 g tub. For the thickness of my hair, a tub lasts for 2-3 weeks. 

I love this product because it keeps my hair soft and smelling good throughout the day! I love how soft and untangled my hair is every time I run my fingers through my hair. My hair is also less messy when I use this conditioner. It has also helped a great deal with the tips of my hair where it can get really frizzy.

This is how the conditioner looks like. It's just a thick yellowy substance. There's a surprise with this variant of Lorys though. When you've consumed about half of the tub, you'll notice that the conditioner is no longer yellow but pink! ;)

Well, there goes my two current favorite hair products! I think I'll be repurchasing these products for a very long time. :)

Till my next blog post!
