iWhiteKorea Skin Whitening Vita Facial Cream - Review, Photos, Swatches

Tweet

Have you tried using makeup base / face primers? I have. It's a must especially when I have to attend special events. It's an essential tool to make your makeup last longer.

iWhite Korea Skin Whitening Vita Facial Cream is a 3-in-1 product: a sunscreen, whitening, and a makeup base. Though I would suggest you still apply a sunscreen with higher SPF (this only has 15), with SPF is still better than nothing. For the whitening part, it does give a brighter and fairer effect when used. I like it best as a makeup base. It's creamy enough so you can apply it smoothly. It has the brand's signature scent (is that the Mulberry? Not sure) that's not bothersome. I really love wearing it under my powder foundation because it gives a smooth canvas. I'm happy it matches my skin tone very well, but if you're on the morena side, I suggest you use a powder that matches your shade over it and use (this facial cream) sparingly.

It gives a satin finish, so my T-zone got a oily after a couple of hours (something an oil-blotting paper can fix). And you know what comes after an oily face..yes, a stupid zit. Urgh. But for the price, you really can't complain much.

PROS: a 3-in1 product, makes skin a perfect canvas for powder foundation, makes my skin brighter, no pungent smell, affordable, locally available

CONS: can get a little cakey when applied too much, comes in 1 shade only, may not compliment all skin tones, not best suited for oily skin

VERDICT:

 I will repurchase when I don't find something better.

Italia Deluxe 24 Hours Stay On Lipgloss in 01 Red - Review, Photos,Swatches

Tweet

As you all know, my affinity for red lips are beyond logical. I'm always open in trying different red lipsticks, from high-end to the affordable ones; but I always prefer those in matte, semi-matte (almost satin) finishes. I just think they're more classy.

Speaking of affordable red lipstick, I found one in the SM Store a few weeks back. Well, it's not exactly a lipstick. It's a long wearing lip gloss (though I would classify it as a liquid lipstick).

Italia Deluxe Stay On Lip Gloss in 01 Red is a classic red with subtle blue undertones. It's not too cool toned so it's not as vampy as my usual reds. It's actually a bright pinup retro red for me. This formula won't kiss off. Well, at least not a simple smack would smear it off. Lol. What I love about this product and formula is it won't tug or pull when it's applied because it's in liquid form. It's very opaque and has decent hours of wear. What I don't like about it? Once the formula dries on uour lips, it's a little uncomfortable on the lips. Reminds me of NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream formula. But hey, for the price, I really can't complain much.

Italia Deluxe is a new brand from the makers of L.A. Girl Cosmetics. They have a lot of interesting products and I'll surely check them out again.

Italia Deluxe Stay On Lip Gloss in 01 Red 

PROS: buildable opacity, beautiful red shade, decent hours of wear, affordable, locally available

CONS: a little tricky to apply, uncomfortable matte finish when it dries

VERDICT:

Lander Nail Polish Remover Acetone-Free - Review and Photos

Tweet

I have pretty high expectations for Lander products, given that a lot of bloggers I know love them. They have all sorts of beauty products for the hands and feet. This purchase is a part of my recent haul. I saw the bottle at the nail polish section, and thought its pretty promising.

Lander Nail Polish Remover Acetone-Free claims it's in salon formula; when I read that part I thought it'll be the best nail polish remover that I'll use. NO. It's not. It's not even good, nor okay.

What bothers me about this product?

It sucks as a nail polish remover. It takes 1 soaked cotton pad to remove a polish per nail. Yep, per nail. I had to be really aggressive to get the polish off! It was so frustrating!

To make things worse, this left my nails / fingers smelling like vinegar. YUCK! I'm way past disappointed with this product. It's the worst nail polish remover that I've used so far! I should've sticked with the local ones, which works better and a lot cheaper!

Lander Nail Polish Remover Acetone-Free 

PROS: it contains a lot of product, locally available, relatively affordable

CONS: it's not an effective nail polish remover, left my nails and fingers smelling like vinegar


VERDICT:

 I won't repurchase nor recommend it to others

Nailed It + Review: OMG Nail Color in Bahama Blue

Tweet

Summer is definitely over! Here comes the cool and rainy weather! My boots and tights can come out now! I love this weather, can't you tell? ;)

 I've been following Aya's blog, and her nail arts and posts really got me into doing my own nails again. I've been indulging in nail salons for almost a decade now, and I think it's time I re-learn to do it myself because hey, manicures and pedicures can get quite expensive.

Anyway, in line with this season, I've been loving dark and vampy nail colors. Plus, they're almost mistake-proof because all I need to do is layer them up. Streaks won't be as noticeable! Hahaha!

So here's my work. Please be forgiving, I haven't done this for a long time. Oh and take note, I didn't apply any base or top coat here. I just applied the polish in 3 coats.

OMG Oh My Golly Nail Color in Bahama Blue

This is OMG Oh My Golly Nail Color in Bahama Blue. It's a midnight blue, shiny but no shimmer and almost black. I love it! Can I just say that this brand impressed me! And with the price, you really can't complain. This nail color line is by the brand Klik.

PROS: has decent opacity, color is gorgeous, very affordable, locally available

CONS: minimal chipping after 3 days

VERDICT:

  I will definitely repurchase!

Diana Stalder Papaya Kojic Soap - Review and Photos

Tweet

The very first time that I heard of and used kojic soap was when I was in college. My mom gave me this unbranded orange soap which apparently cleared up her officemate's face, free from acne and just left her with whiter skin. "Free from acne"? "Whiter skin"? Of course, I had to try it!

While it did help me maintain my relatively fair skin and helped in minimizing my pimples, it also dried out my skin. So I had to stop using it.

Who else have used papaya soap? I really love papaya soaps because it really works in reviving my skin tone whenever I get a tan but never left my skin dry.

Recently, I discovered a papaya and kojic soap in 1. Why wouldn't I try it out? What's the worst thing that could happen? :)

Diana Stalder Papaya Kojic Soap promises to even out skin tone, while moisturizing it. I've been using this on my body for more than 2 weeks now, and I love it! It smells really nice, scent is not overwhelming. I'm not a fan of super fragrant soaps, FYI. It's also not a messy soap; it doesn't melt as quickly as the other kojic soaps I've used before so it doesn't leave orange stains all over my bath. It doesn't dry out my skin, unlike the other ones I've tried. Best part? It certainly helped in clearing out some of the annoying "mini acne" and discoloration on my chest. 

Every time I use it, my skin feels and smells clean without feeling tight and dry. This is my favorite kojic soap by far. :)

Diana Stalder Papaya Kojic Soap

PROS: Evens out the skin tone, helps in minimizing body acne, doesn't dry out my skin, clean scent, it doesn't melt as quickly as the usual kojic soaps, locally available

CONS: I seriously can't think of any :)

VERDICT:

  I will definitely repurchase!

Proactiv - Superior Acne Treatment

Tweet

Image from Huffingtonpost

While I believe my mom knows best, the "apply toothpaste on your pimple so it'll dry up" that she told me when I was in my puberty years is probably one of the craziest beauty myths I've heard. Of course, I only realized that when I became more conscious on my skin and looked for better and more effective treatment.

Image from fotosearch

While that may have worked on some people, it clearly did not work for me. That huge pimple did not go away, and even invited some of it's annoying friends. Urrgghh. What's even more crazy? They always appear when there's a special occasion. Thank God for makeup, but I would still rather have a good skin than a well-concealed pimple.

How does acne / pimples even form and how can Proactiv help?

An acne blemish begins approximately 2-3 weeks before it appears on your skin's surface. So while it may seem like you get a pimple overnight, what you're actually seeing is the final stage of a much longer process. It starts in your sebaceous hair follicles – the tiny holes you know as pores. Deep within each follicle, your sebaceous glands are working to produce sebum, the oil that keeps your skin moist and pliable. As your skin renews itself, the old cells die, mix with your skin's natural oils, and are sloughed off. Under normal circumstances, these cells are shed gradually, making room for fresh new skin.

Dead skin cells may block the pores, resulting to over-accumulation of oil underneath. Bacteria that live on the skin naturally begin to grow and multiply in this site, triggering an inflammatory response causing a red, angry pore that we see as pimple already at the tail-end of the acne formation process.

Proactive Solution can help in preventing acne at the root cause and destroys the acne cycle: 

1. The Proactiv Renewing Cleanser (Step 1) and the Proactiv Revitalizing Toner (Step 2) works by removing dead skin cells, ensuring that the pores don’t get clogged.

2. The Proactiv Revitalizing Toner (Step 2) removes excess oils too, eliminating food for bacteria.

3. The Proactiv Renewing Cleanser (Step 1) and the Proactiv Repairing Treatment (Step 3) kills the bacteria and prevent proliferation

4. The Free Refining Mask helps reduce the inflammation and swelling.

(see more about The 3-Step Proactiv Solution here)

Why is Proactiv my choice of weapon to zap my acne problems?

Because Proactiv is a superior acne treatment. Other treatments are reactive, spot-treating pimples when they're inflamed - already at the tail end of the acne formation process. These treatments often leave scars or dark marks, and do nothing to prevent future breakouts.

Proactiv Solution Vs. Overnight Spot Treatments. 

Like most people, spot treatment was my go-to treatment for acne because they're cheap, easy to apply, and usually effective in drying out my zit overnight. I didn't realize that it's that effective because these spot treatments contain high concentration of benzoyl peroxide (5% to 10%), which kill the acne bacteria, but results to redness or irritation. These products may also cause hyper pigmentation (dark acne marks).

Proactiv Solution contains only 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, a safe and effective concentration which makes it OK for daily use and may be applied to the whole face. With Proactiv’s Advanced Microcrystal technology, eradicating bacteria is faster and gentler than common spot treatments which can prevent the aftermath of dark acne marks.

Proactiv Solution Vs. Topical Antibiotics. 

Doctors need to supervise people using antibiotics because the long term use of antibiotics in general may cause bacterial resistance – making the person “immune” to the benefits of the active ingredient.

Proactiv Solution will never have bacterial resistance because it does not contain an antibiotic, but rather an anti-microbial agent. It is safe for long term use for the treatment and prevention of acne.

Proactiv Solution vs. Oral Drugs. 

When acne is severe, dermatologists sometimes prescribe oral drugs like isotretinoin or hormonal pills. I am truly scared of taking any pills. The hormonal imbalance and all the side effects (while using it and years after) scare the heck out of me. There are studies that support that these methods are extremely effective for severe cases, but because of the nature of these drugs there are side effects that make it questionable if the benefits truly outweigh the cost. For example, there were reports in 2010 linking suicidal tendencies and psychotic behaviors among acne patients on isotretinoin. Hormonal pills, which are mainly indicated as a contraceptive sometimes causes water retention, weight gain, mood swings, and in the long run, even breast cancer.

Proactiv Solution does not have these side effects!

Proactiv Solution Vs. Derm Clinic Injections. 

One of the parts that I hate when getting facials from the derma? The injection they perform especially on the biggest zits. It's painful, or at least uncomfortable, and not to mention can be pricey. The Philippine Dermatological Society is campaigning for awareness among Filipinos to patronize only the services of highly qualified doctors, and not to be too trusting of attendants who may not have the proper training and experience to do this. This type of procedure is extremely painful, and when done by inexperienced hands, may cause scars for life. And because acne is a cyclical condition, recurring acne imposes recurring painful injections.

Proactiv Solution is gentle on you. With advanced micronized benzoyl peroxide and ingredients designed by Doctors Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields, your journey to clear skin is one that does not incite pain.

Proactiv Solution Vs. Custom Derm Packs. 

The promise of acne’s miracle cure comes in different shapes, sizes, and prices. But do not always think that designer packs that costs Php 10,000 in expensive clinics are great! Expensive acne systems often do not have the backing of massive consumer trial from all over the world, and you end up being a guinea pig. I was probably one of the first teenagers who got to try this very expensive acne treatments. I was probably 18 or 19 when I got to try this treatment from one of the well-known clinics here in the country. It was time-consuming (had to go back to the clinic every weekend for at least 4x), extremely uncomfortable (stings really bad), and expensive. While it helped a lot, it's the kind of treatment that needs an expensive maintenance. I had to spend another PHP10k for the skin care system that I'll use after. That is waay too much so after that 1 session and 1 kit of the skin care system, I had to look for a cheaper alternative.

Proactiv Solution is the world’s number 1 anti-acne. Millions of customers worldwide can testify on how effective Proactiv is, including Hollywood superstars. Proactiv even dares you to try it risk free – you get your money back if you’re not happy. 

I've tried a lot of over-the-counter and dermatologist-prescribed medication, and nothing worked as good as Proactiv. It's also definitely cheaper than the PHP10k-worth of acne treatment I had with my derma a few years back, and more effective. The usual breakouts I get on my jawline are gone. My skin isn't just almost acne-free, it's now softer and glowing. What's left on my face are the scars and discoloration caused by pricking (guilty, yes) and the topical treatments that are quite harsh for my skin. 

Although Proactiv is an over the counter anti-acne treatment (available in Watson's, SM Store's Beauty Section, mall kiosks (Trinoma, Glorietta and Marquee Mall), and online, they are formulated and approved by dermatologists and the FDA.

What's my point? With Proactiv, you'll get a superb anti-acne treatment without having to go to a dermatologist (which can get quite expensive, mind you). Effective and convenient!

Aside from using Proactiv, I would also suggest you get more sleep, stress less, drink more water, eat healthier, and if you can, exercise. I believe that our lifestyle and mindset reflects on our skin. Though I really can't avoid the short in sleep, Proactiv still works for me. But how much more if I sleep better, right? :)

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!

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!
