A Gentle Face Scrub For My Sensitive Skin

You all know how much I like the St. Ives Apricot Scrub . Well, that is until I used this product:   St. Ives Moisturizing Olive Scrub Let’s start with the packaging. I love how the tube has a tiny opening so that I can control the amount of product I squeeze out. The hole is smaller than the Apricot Scrub’s tube. I love the green shade of the product (well, of course, it’s an olive scrub after all!). The beads are bigger than the Apricot Scrub but they are smoother and gentler. They don’t hurt at all. Well, that is if you don’t rub them in. I’m not a big fan of the scent though. I like the smell of olives but this smells weird. I can forgive that because this is such a great product! It leaves my face soft and moisturized. The scent is still better than HHN’s face scrub so that’s a plus. Sometimes I get too lazy to apply moisturizer after I use this scrub. Not to worry though. I still have soft skin in the morning when I wake up. But I don’t make that a habit. I still try to...

For the Men: Nivea Active 3

Nivea is fast becoming a staple in my vanity, makeup kit and bathroom. Now, it’s slowly invading MB’s space too! Nivea For Men Active 3 Shower. Shampoo. Shave Like most guys, MB just uses whatever is in the bathroom – soap, shampoo, facial wash. But not anymore. Ever since I bought him his very own facial wash , he has been conscious about the products that he uses. He became vain. I saw this Nivea For Men 3-in-1 product at Watsons Greenbelt during my usual rounds. I asked MB if he wanted to have his own shower gel. At first he was reluctant because he says it will just add to our expenses. I insisted because of the great results he got from the L’oreal facial wash . And like the facial wash, he was also excited to try this. He doesn’t use this for shaving nor shampooing though. He uses this plainly as a shower gel. Why not just buy a plain shower gel, you say? Well, at that time, this was the cheaper (cheapest?) among the shower gels. Also, there aren’t too many options in Watso...

Black Pond’s

Pond’s Pure White Deep Cleansing Facial Foam with Activated Carbon After several days of apprehension, I finally had the courage to try the black Pond’s. I have to admit that this is one good product. It leaves the face really clean. But I think that it dries up my skin. Or it’s probably the weather. Any which way, I never saw peeling with my other facial washes, just with this one. As with all Pond’s products that I’ve used, I get a little bit more oil than usual on my face when I wake up in the morning. Then during midday, my skin dries up. Nonetheless, I was really enjoying this product until the 4th day of use. Alas, my love affair with Pond’s had to come to an abrupt end. My face broke out. Yes, it’s been almost a week and I’m still nursing a few pimples brought about by my usage of Pond’s. Haaayy… Well, at least I was able to finish this sample pack from Cosmo. If you’re not sensitive to Pond’s, I really recommend that you try this product. It’s very affordable and it cleans...

The Magnum

Most of you are already familiar with this mascara. Perhaps you’ve already used it. But if you’re still contemplating on buying The Magnum, read on. Maybelline The Magnum Volum’ Express Waterproof Mascara   I bought this Maybelline mascara in June when it was on sale. As you can see, I only got it for Php343.20 whereas the original price is Php400+. I didn’t immediately use it because I still had my Cat Eyes mascara . So, what do I love about The Magnum? At the top of my list is it doesn’t hurt my eyes nor makes it itch unless I sweat a lot and it gets into my eyes along with dirt and pollution. That happens rarely. I like the fact that it doesn’t clump as much as other mascaras do. It clumps, but only a little and also very rarely. I love the curved head of the wand that makes application smooth and easy. I love how soft the bristles are that applying mascara feels like getting a mini massage. I love how intense the black is and that I only need one coat for everyday wear. ...

Free Baller ID From Kotex

I haven’t tried the other Kotex pads yet. I only use Kotex Luxe and Whisper. Can anybody comment on the other pads? Is it a GO or a NO?
