I'm back in Manila

Hi everyone! I'm finally back in Manila. 

I'm sorry for not being able to post anything this past few days.

I was at Taiwan seeking adventure and knowing the world outside of the Philippines.

I've been on tour for about 2 weeks and I'm excited to share with you guys my adventure. Here's a sneak peak of all the good places I've been to. Please look forward to my post about it. 

Until then, go be beautiful ladies!

My online shopping experience with The Vanity Zone

I recently encountered an online make up store called The Vanity Zone upon searching for online sellers of elf products. 

I asked the owner Ms. Bea questions regarding some products I have in mind to order and she eagerly answered as much as she can. I was glad that she had the patience to answer all of my questions. I love shop owners who talk to their clients. It makes the clients feel that you are trustworthy. 

I ended up ordering a Rimmel fix and perfect pro primer, an Elf eyelid primer, and a Wet and Wild coloricon bronzer. Our transaction was fast. It was Monday when I finalized my order with Ms. Bea, I paid for my due the same day and she told me that she had my order shipped the same day as well. 

My package came today (Wednesday). Her courier (Fastrack courier) called me to verify some details regarding my address earlier today. We found out that there was a slight problem with the address written on the receipt. My package was supposed to have been received yesterday(Tuesday) but their messenger had difficulties locating our house. All is well because Fastrack called to verify with me my address and I was able to receive my package. I was so grateful for this. In the past I have experienced losing my package with a courier and it drove me crazy! I almost didn't want to shop online ever again. I am so glad with the vanity zone teaming up with fastrack courier. They both give good and fast service to their clients. 

OMG! Ms. Bea was ever so sweet to include some chocolates in my package ♥ I was super kilig at the sight of these snacks! Thank you so much The Vanity Zone for the fast transaction. I love your service and attitude. My transaction with you was one of my best shopping experiences ever. Until our next one! 

For those of you who are looking for a good and reliable place to shop for authentic US brand cosmetics, check out The Vanity Zone.

Until my next post.

Clinique goodies

Yehey to my first batch of Clinique goodies. My aunt was kind enough to give me these babies to try out. I am so excited about this. Hopefully I'd be able to come up with some tutorials including them.

Until my post post, go be beautiful ladies!

REVIEW: Sunsilk weather defense

Hi ladies! Ever had problems with frizzy unmanageable hair? I know I do. I personally have coarse frizzy hair and it is frustrating to always feel bad about yourself because your crowning glory is a mess. Good thing Sunsilk came out with their weather defense line including the shield and shine serum and the shield and frizz control light cream. 

Both product claims to: 

1. Help control frizz and maintain hair style and shine.
2. Balance the level of moisture in the hair.
3. Help shield against damaging UV rays.
4. Non-sticky when applied to the hair.

Well, let's see how well these babies perform.

First up is the shield and frizz control light cream.

Consistency: Liquidy
The consistency of the product is super light and is very easy to spread to the hair.

Smell: Overpowering

I am not a fan of the smell. People sensitive to fragrance might not want to use this product.

Price: P50.00

Next up is the shield and shine serum.  

Consistency: Sticky
A pump or two of this goes a long way. 
It has a sticky consistency but once applied to the hair it doesn't feel oily at all.

Smell: Better than the shield and frizz control light cream. It still smells like the other Sunsilk products but lighter.

Price: P177.00

Now let's test it out.

First I'm applying the shield and frizz control light cream followed by the shield and shine serum. Instructions in the box says that you should start applying from the length of the hair to the tips.

Here is the result after applying the light cream. It did sooth my hair from all the frizz but you can still spot some tangles and flyaways. 

Here is the result after applying the serum. You won't see it much in the photo but my hair looked much better after applying the serum. It gave an extra boost of shine to my hair and it calmed most flyaways. My hair is ready for styling now.

What I like about the product:

Affordable

non-sticky

Doesn't feel heavy 

Doesn't oil up my hair

Calms frizzy unmanageable hair

Makes my hair look shiny and healthy

Can be used for heat protection

Can be used for styling

Portable, easy to carry in my makeup stash

What I don't like about the product:

Overpowering smell of the light cream

Effects last only for a short period of time

Tips:

1. Using the serum before washing your hair helps de-tangle the strands and minimize hair fall.
2. Avoid putting any product near the roots of your hair to avoid your scalp from producing extra oil.
3. Spread product evenly on the strands of your hair. 
4. A little of the product goes a long way. Do not over pile product to your hair if you don't want your scalp to produce more oil.

I think that using the serum alone will already give you good results. On my case, I felt that using both products together worked best for my hair type. It makes my hair feel super soft and shiny. I also tried using the products as a pre-wash and it worked wonders. It de-tangled my hair and made it easier to wash. Shedding out about P200.00 isn't that bad if you can get good results. 

Would I recommend this product?

Definitely! This two products are a must try especially for people who have dry and frizzy hair.

Where can I find this product?

Available at all grocery/drugstore outlets with Sunsilk counters. 

Well, that concludes my review. I hope that I was able to help you guys out.

Free Cure Natural Aqua Gel Samples

Hi lovelies! Look what I found while I was at Beauty Bar yesterday.

photo from google

Yes! Cure is now available here in the Philippines. If you guys didn't know, Cure is a famous brand all over, Asia, the world.

WHY?

Because it is the most gentle exfoliating product you could use to remove dead skin cells in your face/body. Cure claims to help remove (0.01 mm) of your dead skin and dirt while supporting the regeneration of your skin.

FAQs about Cure:

• 90% of the product is made out of water. 
• It's preservative free, coloring free, mineral oil free, and artificial fragrance free.
• It sells like pancakes. They can sell a bottle for every 12 seconds in Japan. Now ain't that amazing?

Why am I hyping about this product? 

Let's slip a side story here..

When I spotted this brand on one of their shelves, I instantly tested it out on the back of my hand to see how it works. After a few minuets of rubbing the product, a certain "libag" like texture appeared and the sales person told me that it was the formation of my dead skin cells. After I used the product I noticed that the back of my hand felt smother and softer. What's amazing is that the product itself was just like water (no fragrance, no color, and the consistency was really just like water). That's when I realized why a lot of people have been raving about this product. Unlike other exfoliating products, cure has no harsh texture that might cause your skin micro cuts and scratches.  I wanted to try this out first before purchasing because I have real sensitive skin. If I buy a bottle of this and got an allergic reaction, all my money will go down the drain (btw it costs P1,500.00, it's pretty expensive). Luckily they are giving away free samples for us consumers to try out. 

Zoom in to view what the pamphlet has to say.

Each pamphlet has 2 sachets so you can enjoy this sample twice.

Isn't this great news? Anything free and amazing for me is worth the hype. So if you girls wanna try this product out, come and visit the nearest beauty bar in your area. Just ask for a free sample to the person assisting you and viola. Pamper yourself afterwards okay? ☺

I hope you enjoyed reading and if you ever tried this out, please let me know your thoughts about it. I'd love to hear from you guys. 

Until my next post! 

Go be beautiful ladies.

Summer Natural Lips Tutorial

Hi girls! Need to run errands and you look dull and lifeless? Or maybe you're hitting the beach and you need a natural look. Well here's an easy trick you could do to get that natural flush on your lips.

I'm using Burt's Bees natural lip balm in pink Blossom and Sleek Blush in Flushed 935.

The golden rule: Before applying any color to your lips, you'll need to moisturize it first.

After moisturizing you can now add color to your lips. 

Get your favorite matte blush and apply generously on the lips.

The following steps are optional.

If you feel that you put in too much color, you could always blot your lips with a tissue paper.

Don't forget to check if you blotted out too much color! If you did, just reapply some again.

 You'll notice that after blotting your lips will get dry. 

You'll need to put on lip balm again so that your lips won't crack up.

After that you're good to rock! 

This is a simple, fast and easy way to get natural looking lips without spending too much.
