Glow by Lady E

A few weeks back, we went to Megamall to have lunch with my godfather. Before lunch, I did some quick shopping in the department store. I got these for the little one. I got more accessories for myself from Hyphen, of course. I have more haul posts coming up so if you like ‘em, stay tuned!

3 generations of women in my family went to Hong Kong and Macau a few weeks back. Mom got us a few things. keychain for MB Pouch for me I also got a few things from Hyphen: If you are interested to take a look at our food loot from HK, jump over to my food blog .

I’ve sold a lot of these palettes in my bazaars and online but I’ve only recently used this. I brought this with me to Malaysia. This was the only palette I brought because it’s complete and I wanted to pack light. I used my mom’s small luggage for this trip so I had to limit my cosmetics. Yeah, it broke in transit Too bad the blush broke on our way home but I already repaired it with some alcohol so now it’s okay. It’s not falling apart anymore. I like the combination of eye shadows. I like the fact that they are not all neutrals. I like some colour in my eye shadows as you may already know. There are also 2 glosses and 2 lipsticks. I was able to use everything in this palette. I also used this to apply makeup on my companion who was there to present her paper in a conference. Here’s a look I came up with when we were going home. I love this palette and I’m sure it will be a staple in my travel bag. Can you believe that I was able to fit all my makeup in th...

Regular readers know that I am currently obsessed with soaps and shower gels. I am especially fond of milk soaps and other products that contain milk. Sadly, I rarely find one that suits me. I was lucky to discover this soap while perusing the lines of beauty products in Beauty Bar. There are different variants to choose from. I will not list them all as I already forgot. This one, the SA said, combats inflammation. I was sold the moment she said that. A bar costs Php150. It’s not bad in my opinion as it’s big and thick. I can hardly hold it in my hand when it was brand new. The scent is very mild. It has a blend of citrus and ginger notes. Sometimes I smell lemon, sometimes I just smell the ginger. I’m pretty sure there are other things in there as well. I use this at night so I feel refreshed and relaxed. After a long, tiring day of work, chores and taking care of the baby, my body badly needs some help. I can truly say that this has helped my body with all its aches ...

So I wanted an alternative facial wash because the TFS one is expensive and cousin C is now also using it. TFS was okay back when it was just my husband and I using it because it lasted a long time but now that there’s a third user, I have to think about my budget. This cleanser is more affordable. This bottle is just a little over Php100. I got it at Mercury Glorietta. I told myself that if it worked, I will buy the jumbo size which only costs Php800+. We used this for 2 weeks. The first week was great but I felt that it was too gentle for my skin condition. I felt that my skin was not clean enough. Like squeaky clean which I feel after I use the TFS cleanser. It feels like there’s a mask on my face after I use this. I started to develop pimples on the second week. Cousin C did too and so did MB. I knew from that moment on that this wouldn’t work out for us. This is a liquid cleanser. I have to use a larger amount (compared to TFS) to completely clean my face. It rinses out ea...

I know TreSemme has been on our shores for a long time now but it was only when I went to Malaysia that I was able to try the shampoo and conditioner. This was a sample pack, by the way. I’ve only tried the treatment and it was good. I found something better so I don’t use that anymore. This duo is just okay for me. I did notice that my hair became a bit smoother after using the conditioner. A couple of days later, my scalp started to itch and I noticed that I was developing some dandruff. I don’t know if this caused it or  the leftover L’oreal shampoo and conditioner which I also brought along. Anyway, after that incident, I’m not willing to try this again.

I’ve only used this a few times and now it has expired. So sayang. This is newer than my MAC lip glass but my MAC is still good to use. I won’t buy NARS lip glosses again.
