Review: Purederm Argan Makeup Remover Wipes

Oh hai! I’m still recovering from the long weekend! Now I’m back here in my little desk working these fingers to the bone. I’m giving a short review of a new-ish product I got from Watson’s, the Purederm Argan Makeup Remover Wipes. These come in two variants: Argan and Collagen. I tried both and liked… Continue reading

Sunkiller Perfect Water Essence SPF 50

Something cool I picked up at my local Watson’s: Sunkiller Perfect Water Essence SPF 50. I was on the lookout for a new everyday sunblock. My old sunblock was from Neutrogena. I love how the product didn’t break me out. The finish was dewy and it’s not as sticky as other sunblocks I’ve tried. But… Continue reading

My Mid-Year Sale Beauty Haul Has Arrived!

Oh happy days! BTW, these silicone scrubbies are available at your local Daiso. I just felt like including them in the haul because I’m super excited. I heard these make for an awesome makeup brush cleaner and it’s shockingly cheap at only PhP80. Continue reading

Almost All Natural Beauty Products?
Just peeking in before Monday blues set it 😀 Until recently, I wasn’t the kind who’d actively look for all natural beauty products, especially if it’s a skin care product. I mean, I like natchie things in general but I’m not the one to experiment when it comes to the stuff I put on my… Continue reading

Review: Bifesta Makeup Remover

Since Bioderma is not available in PH (though it will be in a couple of days, I heard), there’s only a handful of micellar makeup removers available locally. One such product is the Bifesta Makeup Remover. It’s a Japanese drugstore brand that specializes in waterbased makeup removers. I am on my third bottle and so… Continue reading

Review: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Complete UV Moisture SPF 50

I love a good sunblock and for me, Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Dry Touch is a go-to especially when I am on the beach. But I find that the name “Ultra Sheer” is a bit misleading because this kind of sunblock is pretty thick so it’s not ideal to use under makeup especially when you live… Continue reading

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

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
