Glow by Lady E

There is nothing special with these lip balms. But they're not as greasy as their counterparts. The Mandarin flavored balm reminds of chili. Yes, chilis! I don't know why but the moment I swipe them on my lips, I am reminded of dried chili flakes. Only after a few seconds does it taste like oranges. Or when you lick your lips a little. The Watermelon variant is too overpowering for me. The watermelon scent is too much. I like watermelon but I don't like my lips smelling like one. It's almost like you've sprayed on watermelon cologne. I love the Peppermint one best. Or maybe I'm just biased. I like that it's not overwhelming, that the smell is gentle and I forget about it after a few minutes. The Mandarin variant makes my lips a bit warm. Almost like there's something warm that's always close to my lips. The peppermint just has a tingling effect. I bought these three for only P129.75. Now, they've increased their price to P149.75.

Unfortunately, I'm allergic to this product. The product is best applied under the eye area. I only put a teeny tiny amount but still ended up with itchy, watery eyes the next day. I only used this twice so now I'm selling it in ebay along with the Human Heart Nature Tomato and Lemongrass Toner. This toner would have been great except it left my skin so oily. Because of the cold weather, the skin on my face is drying up. It would've been better had it left my face with a little moisture. Not way too oily! I only used this twice so it's about 98% full. I think it would work best with normal skin.  The beauty oil is 99% full. I'm selling these two with some other goodies: 2 pink pouches, 1 chocolate brown coin purse, 1 pair peach bra straps and one lavender cellphone charm. This is a P500 value which you can get for only P350! We're manilathriftstyle on ebay. If you want to buy these now, leave a comment and I will contact you.

If you don't like thick lotions, stay away from this product. It's very thick. I think it's because it's a winter lotion? Or probably it's just a theme. Anyway, my skin gets uber dry during the 'ber' months especially December. I normally use Jergen's Ultra Healing Lotion on my legs during this time. My problem with that is, it's too sticky. I really don't like that but I have to use it to keep my legs safe. My legs become itchy when they're dry. And I try so hard not to scratch. I have the same skin on the legs as my uncle's. But his condition is much worse. He gets very dry legs all year long to the point that it gets wounds because of too much scratching. I on the other hand, am like a snake. I literally shed skin all over. And the dry skin that gets shed off are big flakes. But after the cold has passed, I'm left with really soft and smooth skin. So it's not really bad after all. And maybe that's the reason why I have t...

An electric toothbrush might be common in 1st world and western countries but here in the Philippines, it's considered somewhat a luxury because of their steep prices. I've always wanted one but considering the price of refills, I'd always turn my back and buy a loaf of bread and mayo instead. Until one day, I found this at Beauty by SM. When Beauty by SM was only a few weeks old, all the stocks they had were the Oral-B expensive ones. They cost from P5,000-P10,000. This, however, costs only P254. The brand is Watsons. Oh, how I love Watsons! Buying this toothbrush was not out of laziness or luxury. Actually, for a person with polymyositis, it's considered a necessity. Doctors advise patients to be ready for this debilitating disease. Doctors say that patients with the illness might not be able to comb their hair or brush their teeth in the long run. I'm not getting ready for that, trust me. You see, I have very sensitive gums. And the vibrating motion of an el...
