Another Garnier Review

I love Garnier, isn't it obvious? = )

I think I've tried most of their products already! Here's another one that I've tried:

Garnier Lightening Peel-Off Mask

Peel off masks appeal to me more than sheet masks. Maybe because as a kid, I had fun peeling my Mom's peel off masks. = ) So that's 1 point for this product.

I also like the scent, not too strong. I like the fact that it didn't make my face itch nor gave it rashes. There's also a substantial amount of product in one sachet so you can have very good coverage.

My problem is, it takes too long to dry even with the fans almost near my face. But it did 'illuminate' my face after peeling. Oh, and peeling it off was the fun part! MB and I had fun peeling the mask off my face. 

The brightening effect doesn't last long, unfortunately. After a few hours I noticed my skin getting dark. I think I really have this problem with lemon based products. They make my skin dark. Do you think it's because I'm acidic?

When I woke up the next day, my face was back to its original shade and I didn't have the oilies.

The Garnier Lightening Peel-Off Mask is super affordable at only Php40 for 2 doses. Of course, you can buy this at Watsons or Beauty by SM. I'd give this a 3 out of 5 stars.

Will I repurchase? No. I'm still in search of my HG face mask. Ladies, did you like this peel off mask? Share!

    I agree with this, I noticed that if I wear this alone (grocery day, or just at home) it makes my skin look dark. Maybe I'm acidic too, i'm not sure :(

    As for masks, have you tried the raved chocolate mask at watson's? I heard it's great for brightening effects.

    Btw, I was referring to the Garnier Anti shine cream, I haven't tried this mask yet actually. But I love their facial wash.

    Ooh, and read your profile you're a cat owner too! cool!

    I haven't tried the chocolate mask yet because my skin is too freakin' sensitive. Ugh. It wasn't like this before. But I did buy the mask for sensitive skin. I'll try it soon.

    Yeah, I have like a gazillion cats at home. = )

    It's funny, I tend to be drawn to people who love cats. Most of the bloggers I follow are cat lovers too. And I only find out after some time.

    I noticed that you do have very sensitive skin, since human nature is organic and your skin reacted that way.

    Let me know how the product works for you.

    I see, you're the first blogger friend that I have whose into cats which is pretty cool! ^_^

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
