Eye Zone

I learned about this product through Kitten . So Kitten, this one’s for you. I found this at Watsons and was more than willing to try it out since I have a very appropriate test subject – MB. He has dark circles under his eyes and he had puffy eyes because of his recent OT’s. I also didn’t mind trying it. These are crescent-shaped masks that you put under your eyes. Be careful not to put it too close to your eyes as it somewhat stings (I have sensitive eyes). There are 30 sheets in one pack and is so sulit for only Php89.75. It’s enriched with all these goodies that promises to reduce eye puffiness and dark circles. I don’t have puffy eyes but there are some areas under my eyes that are a bit dark. On my first use, I immediately noticed the outside area, near the ‘V’, lighten. It wasn’t a temporary thing. Until now, that area has remained lighter. I’ve only used this twice and I can really say that it’s effective. My concealer application on those areas is lesser now. MB also ...

Bearberry Yogurt

It’s not something that you eat. This is food for your face. This is the second mask that I’ve tried. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as great as the Montagne Jeunesse. At least it’s cheaper. Got this for Php79, I think. It was on promo. Got it from my favorite Avon Lady. The regular price is around Php112. Packaging is like The Face Shop’s masks. There are four packs in a set. I just hate the fact that I couldn’t open it on my own. I had to ask MB to peel off the top and even he got pissed. On my second use, I just got a cutter because MB was not around. One pack is good for 2 applications or 1 lavish application. I prefer the one lavish application so that I wouldn’t be troubled with the leftovers. I apply this all over my face and neck area. Leave for 10 minutes. It promises to whiten your skin. It didn’t whiten my face. It just brightened it up a bit… and made it itch. On my first use, I thought that my face was just adjusting. I applied Celeteque moisturizer to ease th...

Product Reviews x3!

I missed blogging! And I missed all you guys! I’ve been very ill since Sunday. It’s terrible. I haven’t been that sick in a while. I guess it’s the cold and stress (from annoying people) that’s been triggering my PM. I was asleep the whole day last Monday. I only woke up for meals and showers then went back to bed again. On Tuesday, practically did the same although found the strength to go out, see the doctor and pay some bills. I asked mum to go with me as I was very weak. We were out for only a few hours but I felt so tired afterwards. I’ve been meaning to write but lifting my fingers to the keyboard takes so much effort. On days when I have an attack, all my limbs get too heavy (or maybe I’m too weak. hehe) so I just stay in bed to avoid accidents. Anyway, let me get back to the blogging world by giving you 3 product reviews. Remember that press kit at the Estee Lauder event? It contained: Facial wash, Pure Color Lippy, Toner and Pleasures Bloom! I’ve already finished up the...

Shopping: Of Kitty Purses and Avon Addictions

I am absolutely out of control when it’s November to December when it comes to shopping. Oh, and when it’s my birthday month too. And I also feel extra generous this time of the year. Case in point: My Avon lady friend who is very nice and very kind (giving me extended installment plans!) surprised me with these last Wednesday. In the pouch is the Fiona (?) nightwear. It looks like a sun dress but for sleeping . The makeup kit comes with the lipstick and lip liner as a set (Php355). This is my first lip liner in a long time. I don’t use lip liners. The last I used them was when I was a teenager. I also bought my favorite Avon jewelry: Here’s the pouch: It’s so roomy and it has compartments inside. Perfect! And speaking of pouches and purses… I got Kitten and moi matching kitty purses! I also bought 2 card holders as I go through them like popcorn, harhar! I’m currently using the polka dot one.  I got these last Sunday but postponed blogging about it to surprise...

Beyond Natural

This blush was a gift. I’ve been using it since September and it still looks like I’ve only received it last week. It’s so compact. I love this product! I’m not a big fan of Revlon (I’m a Maybelline girl) but I really like this blush/bronzer duo. It’s great for everyday use. The bronzer is good for contouring. Here are the swatches: I don’t know if you’ll be able to see them, especially the bronzer on the right as it blends well into my skin. That is why, this is perfect for the no-makeup makeup look. Like other Revlon products I’ve examined, this one has a funny smell. The smell used to stick to my brushes even after cleaning with the Ellana brush cleaner. That was when I was still using dishwashing liquid to clean my brushes. Now I use Sunsilk green and the smell doesn’t stick anymore. This blush/bronzer duo does not irritate my skin. No rashes nor itchiness. It doesn’t last long on my cheeks especially the blush and I don’t have oily skin. I have to reapply every now...
