Review: ZA Total Hydration Dewy Moisturizer
Okay, so one of the cool finds I have with my last drugstore haul was the ZA Total Hydration Dewy Moisturizer. I got it because I was meaning to find an affordable moisturizer before I switch to a high-end face cream. The ZA Total Hydration Dewy Moisturizer is a water-based moisturizer. The formula is non-irritating and… Continue reading

Review: Snoe It's Oat-k, It's Alright Foaming Cleansing Oil
Snoe is a PH-made skin care and cosmetics brand. I’ve been a fan of Snoe after I got one of their much lauded beauty bar and the calamansi-based face mask last year. I gotta say, the brand definitely came a long way from being a barely-noticeable boutique into this really popular cosmetics and skin care brands… Continue reading

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate
Been road testing Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate (MRC) for the past two weeks and so far, results have been very promising. For one thing, I wake to indescribably soft, glowing skin. It’s just a joy waking up to plump, luminous skin! Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate is a combination of different essential oils working together to… Continue reading

Breaking Out
My skin, that is. A couple of blogs ago, I said I am going to give the Nivea Smoothy cream a try. Which I did and have for two weeks or so. Unfortunately, testing came at a time when I’m having one of those nasty hormonal thing going on my skin and I’m afraid the… Continue reading

St. Ives Green Tea Scrub
For me, to achieve smooth, clear skin, you should never skip exfoliation. When I was 17 or 18, I started using facial scrubs because I had a bad case of blackheads on the nose area, which was so gross. I believe I used St.Ives classic apricot scrub and I have tried some of the most… Continue reading

Nivea Smoothy Cream
If you’re like me who appreciates great finds at affordable prices then you must be kuripot, hahahah! For me, nighttime moisturizing is a must especially since my skin is on the dry side and needs ample moisture. Unfortunately, high end creams do cost more than your average daytime creams, some fetching as much as 4k… Continue reading

DermaWand: Electrifying Results (Get It? Get It? Electrifying? Never Mind.)
First off, this is not a paid post though I wish it is, hahahaha! So, my mom’s birthday is up this weekend and my sister and I decided to be creative with this year’s gift. After careful consideration and countless of hours spent walking aimlessly across Mega mall and Robinson’s Galleria, we decided to give… Continue reading

L’Oreal UV Perfect BB Max SPF 50
I’ve been searching high and low for a great BB cream with high SPF. Usually BB creams just hide blemishes, even out blotchy skin and not much else. But I saw L’Oreal newest offering, the UV Perfect BB Max with SPF 50 (!) and was instantly intrigued. At only PHP595 a pop, it’s relatively cheap so not much… Continue reading

On Snoe Kojic + L Glutathione Soap and Calamansi Clay Mask
I finally caved in. After weeks of hearing nothing but good things about Snoe cosmetics, I bought myself one of their signature beauty bar (their bestselling product, from what I gather) and their much vaunted clay mask. Snoe got several soap variants, most of them for whitening the skin. I have fair skin, to the… Continue reading

Kikay Moment
Yes, I do wear make-up whenever I go out. However, I don’t go all out with tri-color eye shadows, shadings and the whole nine yards. With this heat, the last thing I want is to feel icky under all that make-up. I see girls that, after exposure to the sun, got these cake-y, disgusting masks… Continue reading
