Review: Banila Co. Liplike Moist Tint in Red Berry

I love a good Korean lip, especially now that my beauty routine is simpler. Back in the day, I would layer two to three different lip shades to create a new shade or layer the same shade repeatedly to achieve a certain level of opacity. These days, however, I’m into translucent colors, sheer hues that Continue reading

Review: FRESH Vitamin Nectar Moisture Glow Face Cream

Woo! A legitimate beauty product review, finally! Pregnancy wreaked havoc on my skin. During my pregnancy, my skin was glowing! My skin was youthful, bouncy, and super smooth all thanks to overflowing estrogen. But after giving birth, my skin took on a weird, leathery texture. I was peeling all over and my skin looked dull, Continue reading

Review: Kat Von D Mother of All Mini Lipstick Duo

I cannot, for the life of me, finish a tube of lipstick. I have more than 30 lippies in my collection and some of them have been left untouched for months. I even got several glosses that I never use. It’s great that brands are coming out with mini lipsticks so lazy lasses like yours Continue reading

Review: Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Stress Relief

I’ve had this fabulous body lotion since forever and I’ve only thought about writing this review now. Go figure! If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s the fact that I love all kinds of minty scents. I suffer from asthma and cat allergies all the time and I love fragrances that decongest, Continue reading

Review: BECCA x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Splits in Champagne Pop and Hyacinth

I love how highlighters give the skin a mesmerizing sheen. I love it even more if the formula is dense powder! I have a love-hate relationship with cream formulations though I tend to avoid them at all cost! It took me a while to write this review, no? Hahaha! This product is a part of Continue reading

Review: Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream
I haven’t been writing reviews for a while, ugh. I somehow lost the passion to do these kinds of review. Perhaps, I’ve been feeling burned out again. Good thing I have a beach trip coming next month, ahahaha! Anyhoo, forgive me if this review is a quick one. In my quest to preserve my youth, Continue reading

The Gift of Beautiful Skin!

The holidays came and went so fast! I had such a great year that I decided to give myself lots of self-care gifts, hahaha! I mean, seriously, we could all use a little self-care, right? Since I’m turning 3-5 this year, I decided to amp up my skin care game. I finally used up my Continue reading

Review: Soak Artisan Soap Bath Bomb Trio
Yes, this is a long overdue review. Forgive me, homegirl’s gotta hustle! As you know, I ordered Soak Artisan Soap’s bath bomb trio eons ago because Lush is so, so far away. Soak Artisan Soap is a local indie brand that specializes in bath essentials. They sell everything from artisanal soap – hence the name Continue reading

Review: Becca Rose Gold Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter
I love a good highlighter but I don’t care for the blinding, chunky highlighters that are so trendy right now. I crave a subtle glow, just a hint of silky shimmer to highlight the highest points of my face. Becca offers some of the best highlighters in the biz so naturally, I was lusting over Continue reading

Review: Mumuso Lip Gloss
By now most beauties are familiar with the Mumuso brand. It’s a China-based Korean-inspired store chain that sells everything from bath essentials to straw hats. Yes, there’s something for everyone at Mumuso and I dropped by to get a couple of lip products. Funny story, I picked up the Mumuso lipgloss in Davao because I forgot Continue reading
