Review: LUSH Porridge Soap

I recently picked up two new soaps by LUSH, the Porridge soap and the Honey, I Washed The Kids soap. I was terribly disappointed to discover that LUSH won’t be carrying any of their face masks other than Magnaminty. Apparently, LUSH has issues with supplying to a tropical country. Le ugh. Anyway, today I will be… Continue reading

Smashbox Pro Brush Set At The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2014

I am so elated that I did not give in and bought the Smashbox Pop Studio Brush Set of collections past because I just found out that the brand will be coming out with an expanded limited edition brush set for Nordstrom’s 2014 Anniversary sale in mid-July. Behold, ten amazing brushes in one set: And because… Continue reading

Review: LUSH Mask of Magnaminty

Oh, hai! It’s been a while. Just wanted to do a quick review of one of my favorite masks at the moment, the LUSH Mask of Magnaminty. I got the little tub and it cost me around PhP300+, which I would say, is pretty affordable considering The Body Shop’s Tea Tree clay mask is around… Continue reading

Review: LUSH Karma Soap
I’ve never given artisanal soaps much thought. I mean, I like souped up soaps loaded with essentials oils and whatnot but I’m also okay with my Dove soap and shower gels. But since I started developing a serious crush on LUSH, I decided to pick a couple of things, another face spritzer and the karma… Continue reading

Review: Snoe It’s Oat K! It’s Alright Hydrating Facial Mist 3-in-1 Refresh, Cleanse & Moisturize
I am a fan of Snoe products, particularly their It’s Oat-K, It’s Alright range. I’m somehow surprised that I don’t see a lot of reviews about the It’s Oat-K range because I’m convinced it’s one of Snoe’s better offerings out there. Sure, they’ve gone hi-tech with the fusion creams, bee venom serums and whatnots but… Continue reading

Review: Oil of Argan Argan Oil
*As much as I wish this post was sponsored, it ain’t. I know I already featured the Oil of Argan Argan Oil and this is just a follow-up to my first impressions of the product. I’d like to talk about the argan oil, in a general sense. If you’re like me who couldn’t even fanthom the idea of… Continue reading

Review: Missha BB Boomer

I got the Missha BB Boomer along with the Perfect Cover BB cream I purchased a few weeks ago. The BB boomer cream is such a weird product, to be quite honest. You’re supposed to spread this across the face before the BB cream and it’s said to boost the performance and wear of the… Continue reading

Review: LUSH Eau Roma Water
Summer in the Philippines is the worst. The temperature can reach a scorching 39 degrees. It’s during the summer season that I stock up on facial toner water, you know, those face fresheners you take with you in a spritzer bottle? I actually have three of these (one was by Snoe, another by an unknown… Continue reading

The Brow Connection: Doing The Ombre
My brows used to bad and it never occurred to me to fix it. Now I’m a total eyebrow fiend and I do my brows everyday. I feel a wee bit nekkid if I don’t! I love strong, bold brows any day but it’s not as versatile. And my technique has been real crappy until… Continue reading

Review: Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream
It’s weird that I’ve been using the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream for three months now and I’ve yet to write a review about it. I decided to use BB cream after I’ve seen significant improvement on my skin a couple of months ago. I wanted to wear something light and nourishing, one that offers… Continue reading
