Beauty Haul: Goodies From Landmark

Tweet

It's beauty haul time! :)

Let me share with you my recent purchases. I'm on my "gotta care for my hair" mode because I notice my locks are getting pretty dull because of my frequent hair dyeing. I'm sorry hair, I just can't give up being a blonde right now. 

I was supposed to buy makeup brushes, but since I knew I'll be attending Makeup Hub By Naturele Collezione Meet & Greet, I knew I can get better brushes there (note: and I DID) sooo I indulged with some awesome hair cracks instead and a few other things. ;)

PROACTIV Solution - Your Solution For Acne

Tweet

I'm pretty sure all of you (or at least most of you) are aware of what Proactiv is. The brand has been around for years now. I distinctly remember watching their TVC, with Jessica Simpson as their ambassador. I was still a teenager then. I got to try their facial wash when my friend in college lent me hers 'cause I forgot my facial cleanser (it was our retreat). I distinctly remember how my skin felt and how it somehow lessened my oiliness while using it for 3 days. My skin didn't feel dry or tight, unlike what most acne-fighting products I've used did on my skin. Unfortunately back then, I couldn't afford them because the set was quite pricey (for a student).

Now years later, Proactiv is still one of the best acne-fighting products available in the market. My friend in college is still using their products (she's now in Canada, btw) and one of my best friends now swear by them.

The PROACTIV Solution is composed of 3 easy steps:

Step 1: Wash your face with Proactiv Renewing Cleanser

This cleanses and gently exfoliates with tiny, non-abrasive round polyethylene beads to remove dirt and excess oil, and dead skin cells that clog pores. It's mild concentration (2.5%) of advanced microcrystal prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide kills acne-causing bacteria, while chamomile extract and other soothing ingredients help keep skin balanced and hydrated.

Step 2: Use Proactiv Revtalizing Toner

This refreshing alcohol-free toner helps remove impurities and excess oil so your skin looks and feels clean, soft and refershed - not tight and dried out. Soothing botanical agents gently balance your skin tone.

Step 3: Apply Proactiv Repairing Treatment

The repairing acne treatment is a feather-light medicated treatment that gets deep into clogged pores faster but is designed to be gentler on the skin. It's an oil-free formula that's safe for your entire face.

FREE Refining Mask

This mask is formulated with sulfur, a proven-acne fighting ingredient that reaches deep into poes where blemishes begin.

Did you know that Proactiv is FDA registered as a safe over-the-counter anti-acne product? Yep, you don't have to get a prescription from your doctor to try them. They are that safe.

They also have a Money Back Guarantee! Details about this is found at the bottom of the Proactiv box.

I'm sure they're available in Watson's and in the Beauty Section of The SM Store. I also saw their kiosks in TriNoma Mall (2nd floor) and in The New Glorietta Mall (ground floor). I heard they also have one in Marquee Mall (ground floor). Of course, if those places are inconveniently located for you, you can always purchase online. If you'll ask me, their Door-to-door delivery hotline 729-2222 is the best option. ;)

It's never too late to start fighting those unwanted and insecurity-causing zits. I don't think acne targets an age; though teenagers are more prone to it, adults like myself is definitely not immune from it. I always get them, especially at that time of the month or whenever I eat shellfish. The stressful lifestyle of this generation isn't helping either. So why not try Proactiv and save yourself from pimples? :)

How To Find The Best Eyelash Growth Product For You

Tweet

I think the main reason why blogs / forums are regarded with high importance nowadays is that people use them as reference if they should buy a certain product or even what products to buy. With all the products available in the market nowadays, the choices can get pretty overwhelming.

It's the same thing with eyelash growth products. There are a lot of them today, both high-end and the more affordable ones. But how will we know which is the right one for us? Well maybe this website can help: http://www.eyelashgrowthproductreviews.net/.

This website is packed with reviews of different eyelash growth products. I was eyeing on Olay's for weeks now, but after reading the review there (and in other websites), my interest simmered down.

So if you're thinking of buying an eyelash growth product, I suggest you check out http://www.eyelashgrowthproductreviews.net/ first and read the reviews. 

Virginia Olsen Eyeshadow Brush - Review and Photos

Tweet

Makeup really is more than vanity for me. It's a therapy, a form of self-expression, its an outlet for creativity.

I've been wearing neutral (to none at all) eyes and bold lips for so long now, but I actually started with playing up my eyes. I have lots of eyeshadow palettes from both drugstore and high-end brands it became an addiction.

I loved wearing dark to eye-popping bright colors, until my makeup routine got slimmer. Okay I admit, I got lazy. I've been choosing extra snooze over doing my eye makeup everyday. But after doing some spring cleaning, I just had to play around some of the shadows I haven't even touched yet. I only just rediscovered this gorgeous vegan eyeshadow brush from Virginia Olsen, so I thought I'd use it. Didn't stop using it since then. :)

Virginia Olsen Eyeshadow Brush is a vegan and cruelty-free brush, made from sustainable materials. It picks up powder and cream shadows well, though I think it works best with the latter. It won't irritate even the sensitive skin around the eyes because its sooo soft; it doesn't scratch! Its pretty easy to clean, and unlike my Eco Tools brushes (with the red hair), it doesn't bleed any color when I wash it. My only woe with this brush is that its not as fluffy as my other shading brush (so I can't use it for blending). I hope they'll come out with travel-sized brushes too!

Virginia Olsen Eyeshadow Brush

PROS: soft and gentle even on my sensitive lids, works on powder and cream shadows, easy to clean, affordable, locally available, vegan

CONS: I wish it comes in travel size also. It's a bit long to fit in my kikay kit


VERDICT:

  I will definitely repurchase!

Cheap Thrills: Paganini x OMG x Glamworks

Tweet

Hey there! :)

I have another "cheap thrills" post for you! Basically, this kind of post is all about awesome products that costs P100 or is worth less than P100  (ex. "Buy 1 Take 1 for P120", which means its P60 each). Bear with me guys, its my post anyway. Please? Hehe. ;)

Left to right: Paganini Collection makeup sponges (P49.75 per pack), OMG Oh my Golly nail color in Bahama Blue (P17.75), and Glamworks Make Up Remover Cleansing Wipes (Buy 1 Take 1 for P49).

Makeup sponges are usually looked over in my world. Once I throw out the dirty sponge from the compact, I always forget to buy a new one. That's probably the reason I've never hit pan on my powder foundation.

Everyone knows I can't do my own nails. No, I don't trust myself in cleaning my own nails. Hahaha! But I really love how modern and edgy this shade is. It's almost black, but the blue shade peeks through.

I've been using the makeup wipes for 2 weeks now, and I must say.. Not bad! I don't recommend it for eye makeup and the super long wearing matte lip products.

Everything was bought in Landmark, except Glamworks (from Watson's).

SM City Lucena: Pasayahan Festival with Kapuso Stars

Tweet

Pasayahan Festival is an event in Lucena wherein both locals and tourists celebrate the city's culture and unity. From small to big businesses, doesn't matter if you're an average employee or a business owner, the rich and the not-so rich, everyone is entitled to enjoy this event.

Last March 28, a gorgeous parade from the city central until SM City Lucena was held. Different local units and busineses had their floats, dance group and even Carnival Queens graced the streets.

For more photos, click here.

After the parade and awarding, everyone was invited to watch Kapuso Stars in the SM City Lucena Event Center.

Stars of the show "Home Sweet Home" and Dingdong Dantes entertained the audience with song and dance numers.

This was my first "Pasayahan Sa Lucena" experience. It was extra special because I also experienced "Pasayahan Sa SM Lucena". I know a lot of people would say that visiting SM Supermalls outside metro Manila is pointless because we have a lot of them here already. But really, that's the whole point of it.

SM Supermalls is undeniably a part of our culture already. It's a familiar place. Somehow, even when you're in an SM somewhere far from your home, it makes you feel at home because of the same ambiance it brings. I can personally vouch for this because that's how I felt when I was in SM City Lucena. It was as if I was just in my neighbors SM City San Lazaro and SM City Manila. Somehow, I felt rigjt at home even when I was miles away.

I would like to thank SM City Lucena for inviting me to celebrate and experience the "Pasayahan Festival". Thank you for making us feel right at home. I would also like to congratulate you for the very successful "Pasayahan Sa SM Lucena". :)

SM City Lucena is located in Maharlika Highway corner Dalahican Road, Brgy. Red-V, 4301 Lucena City, Philippines
