2011-10-05T18:16:00.000+08:00

Ever since I've learned the importance of sunblock, I've never turned my back on it anymore. It's on my top three must-have after cleanser and moisturizer. That's how important it is to me. Though I've found my HG sunblock, the curiosity in me still sway me to try other brands. One brand I tried is the Sunplay sunblock which is locally available at Watsons. Can it be my new HG sunblock? Sunplay

Holika-Holika Egg Soap

2011-09-29T13:44:00.000+08:00

Cute stuffs are very tempting. I always end up buying stuff because they are cute. Bad me, I know! Packaging always attracts a customer (like me). The cuter or prettier it is, the more I would likely to buy it. However, some of this stuff will end either in my beauty basket or in the my sister's beauty basket or perhaps the trash bin. So where did Holika-Holika ended? Holika-Holika Egg

Nature Republic Eau de Shine Blossom Powder Pact SPF 25 PA++

2011-09-12T13:46:00.000+08:00

Powder is essential for an oily babe. It helps reduce the oiliness of the skin plus gives that smooth, clean finish. It also provides a fresh look and feel.However, not all powders can do this. Finding the right one that you can call as HOLY GRAIL is not that easy. I had some powders which works wonders while some were a disappointment. How would I rate the Nature Republic Eau de Shine Powder?

Nature Republic Age Slick Gradation Blusher

2011-08-03T11:52:00.000+08:00

I've only started to love make-up when I started doing office work. It's a norm to wear make-up in the office. It gives that professional aura that you need when you are facing your boss or colleagues. However, I don't wear heavy make-up. Light make-up is always my option. I seldom wear eyeshadow but I love blushes. I love the simple glow in my cheeks. I have always been a user of one-color-shade

Innisfree Herb No Sebum Powder - Mint

2011-07-26T14:30:00.001+08:00

Loose powder or compact pressed one?!? I've always been a user of pressed powders. They are definitely easy to carry and handle around. No messing around for me :) However, lately I've opened my heart (?!?hehehe) for those loose ones. One product that I had been admiring is the Innisfree Herb No Sebum Powder - Mint.

Sun Guard: Belo Essential Sun Expert Sunblock for the Face

2011-07-06T19:13:00.001+08:00

Sunblock is a must in my daily life. I've been a sunblock user ever since I started working. I've been more vain after college. Maybe it's because I am getting old and that means aging. I'm 26 so I'm in my mid-20s. It's now time to prepare myself from the so-called aging life. One factor to combat aging is a reliable sunblock. I have already met my HG sunblock but it's also fun to try other brand

Vacay: Bohol Trip

2011-06-23T09:29:00.003+08:00

A'pieu Pure Bright Acerola C Cleansing Foam

2011-05-19T12:39:00.000+08:00

Clean face = beautiful skin :) Definitely! Even on tiring days, there is no excuse to not clean our face. Our skin can bring us problems like pimples, blemishes, uneven skintone, etc. Thus, adding to every day stress :( So I always make it a point, no matter how lazy and tired I am, to clean my face at the end of the day. However, I can't just wash my face with any cleanser. It should be

Weekend Haul: Hair Care

2011-05-02T23:28:00.002+08:00

Buying stuff for my hair is growing in me. I rarely go to salon to have my hair treated. I always on the look out for DIY or stuff that I can use while at home. It's cheaper and relaxing since I could do it in the comfort of our home. Yesterday, I went out buying some hair masks that would last me for a few weeks. Cream Silk, Rejoice, L'Oreal and Shine Moist It's all in sachet except for the

Etude House Cleansing Dream Light Cleansing Oil

2011-04-19T18:02:00.000+08:00

Ever since I had my first job, I've been wearing make-up (light make-up) to make myself at least presentable. I don't have a perfect, flawless skin. So make-ups come to the rescue. I'm not really a heavy make up user because I don't really know how to wear one. Plus I don't have time in the morning to do a lot. Make-ups can be harmful to the skin. This happens if at the end of the day you forgot

Dr. Jart+ Pore-X Sebum Control Mask

2011-03-29T10:35:00.001+08:00

Second day of work-week or should I say stress-week?!? (hehehe). In times like this, I need to prepare. One thing I do in preparation is giving my skin some pampering with a facial mask. A facial mask is very versatile and convenient in terms of moisturizing the skin. Though it comes in different type since it caters to different skin type and need. I have used a lot of facial masks while some

Skin Food Peach Sake Pore Serum

Nature Republic Scalsys Shampoo And Conditioner

2011-03-11T18:30:00.002+08:00

Keeping my hair healthy is important to me. Healthy hair means beautiful hair :) No doubt about it! That is why I'm always on the constant look for hair products that will work wonders on my crowning glory. Of course I have to ask myself first: what is my hair problem or issue?

St Ives Extra Shine Shampoo And Conditioner

2011-02-02T08:54:00.001+08:00

Our hair is our crowning glory. For me, healthy hair is next to healthy skin. No matter how good your skin is if your hair is bad it still goes down to BAD! We don't want that. That is why hair care is also important as skin care :) I have used a lot of shampoo and conditioners. Some were excellent while others were okay and there were also the bad ones. So how would I rate St Ives Extra Shine

Nature Republic Blemish Lab AC Powder

2011-01-31T17:52:00.002+08:00

Powder is very important for an oily girl like me. It helps in keeping the skin matte and oil-free, at least half-the-day?!? Finding the right stuff is not that easy.

Shiseido Tsubaki

2010-12-15T17:50:00.000+08:00

Shampoos and conditioners are important to me in my everyday life. They will always be my life-saver on my daily hair needs. I can't go to the salon everyday or else there will be a big hole in my pockets (hahaha!).

Baviphat Mango Magic Brightening Mask

2010-08-08T03:25:00.001+08:00

Facial masks come in different type. Others can be hassle-free, while others can be messy. I definitely like those convenient one that all you need to do is to splat it on your face without any messy mixing needed. Though it can still be messy upon application but the convenient of a ready-to-use mask is really efficient especially when you're too lazy to make a DIY mask. Thanks goodness to those

Dermstrata Erythromycin Solution

2010-07-25T00:00:00.000+08:00

Finding the perfect product that suits your skin needs is very difficult. Trial and error will always be there. Trying stuff hoping it will give miracles and won't give any negative issues. I think this is what we should always do in finding for that right product that suits our skin. Holy Grail products are difficult to find. Finding one would mean finding a treasure that is to be kept for life.

But then that is past so I need to move on and be thankful to God that I'm still surviving and updating my blog (hehehe!). Rainy season is here. No more sun or should I say there will be less sun.

Horrible Monday is coming in less than an hour :( What's even more sadder is that I can't update my blog for awhile in the office since they cut out our internet connection in the office.

Germany trashed England at the World Cup! Though there is still more or less 15 minutes before stoppage time, it's too impossible for England to get back (4-1 to Germany). This is so sad for me as my favorite team England is not moving forward (again!) in World Cup :( But so much of the World Cup, I don't want to get depressed by it. Let me share a film that I never expected would hit me big time

Review: Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil

2010-06-09T12:37:00.002+08:00

Cleansing oil had been a staple in my cleansing routine ever since I learned the importance of double cleansing. It may sound weird for an oily skin to be splattered with oil. Don't you think that would be too much? Well the only way to combat oil is by using oil also. My first cleansing oil was from Elianto (my review) which was good. I did not bought another bottle of it since I want a new one

2010-06-07T09:45:00.001+08:00

Oily skin can be a curse. No matter what you do to keep those oils away, it keeps on coming back :( In times like this, a good powder pact is needed to keep them at bay.

Monday means flag ceremony (when you are working in a government agency) under the heat of the sun. I know it's early and the sun is not that harmful but then again it's the sun. One thing to use to at least fight it is a sunblock. Sunblock had been stapled in my beauty arsenal ever since I learned the importance of it. Anti-aging is one of those benefits we can get from using it rigorously. I'm

The heat is killing me! I love summer but the heat lately is not. I could barely go out the house or office to enjoy the sun. This is too much heat for summer :( It could even reach 40 degrees Celsius according to PAG-ASA. Well, I hope not. Anyway, in times that I need to go out and face the sun, I need to put on my armor in defending my skin against the scorching sun. The best weapon I have is

Acne Killers

2010-04-24T17:14:00.002+08:00

I've been fighting pimples since I could remember. It seems like it will be with me forever. No way! When will I have that flawlessly no bump skin?!? That is why I'm always on the look out for acne killer. I just call it that way since I need something that can eradicate the acne I have (lol!). I have been using the Skin Food Tea Tree Essence as my moisturizer and acne killer. But when that

Review: Skin79 Crystal Finish Pact

2010-04-13T16:43:00.002+08:00

Powder pact is very essential in my make-up kit. It's my life-savior in fighting against my overactive sebaceous glands. I'm talking about my oily skin. Who does want to go out with their face shining so much that they look like they applied some oil on their face?!? Not me! Oily skin is a blessing yet a curse :( It's blessing for the mere fact that aging is slower but a curse for always doing

The Face Shop Sheet Masks

Anytime from now we will have no lights/electricity again! grr! ... total blackness!... That's what happen 3 hours ago. I was writing this post when suddenly it was dark.

Shiseido Conditioners: Tsubaki vs Super Mild

Review: Beauty Credit Lovely Powder Pact Moist

2010-04-03T00:56:00.005+08:00

I'm very particular when it comes to products that can help diminish or perhaps lessen the oiliness in my face. Yes I do have an oily face, V-E-R-Y oily! I should be happy since they say that oily skin are slow-to-aged :) But then again who wants to flaunt their face shining and seems an egg is ready to be cooked on it?!? I don't want that! I want at least a matte face. That's what is in my mind

60 minutes of your time...

2010-03-27T22:45:00.002+08:00

It was just 60 minutes. Is it that long? Well it's equivalent to 1 hour so it is still that long (hehehe!). But can you give up 1 hour of your time to change something? Well I can if that would mean a huge difference in my life and to others. And that what happened an hour ago. A big difference that could change us all. http://www.earthhour.org/ 8:30pm-9:30pm was the International Earth Hour.

Derm Factor Whitening Day Cream Gel

2010-03-12T11:31:00.002+08:00

I have always dream to have a clearer and fairer complexion. Not like Snow White since I don't want to be that white like her but a glowing skin then :) Having a clear and smooth skin is not easy. It takes a lot of patience and extra effort just to attain it. Though some are gifted with beautiful skin while others a just unlucky. And sad to say I'm still looking for my luck on it :( There are a

Weekend is movie time :) I have a movie date with my sisters and friends. We went out to watch Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel at Greenbelt 3. It was my first time at Greenbelt Cinema.

Time flies by so fast. The next thing you know, it's another year already (waahhh!).

I've never been a fan of horror films. I hate watching one unless there is just a sudden urge in me to watch (weird me!). The last horror film I watched was Shake, Rattle and Roll last year.

Blogging is one of the hottest and fastest way to get into the so-called "Cyber World", a world full of excitements. I've been blogging since my college days as a requirement for my Philo class. But I've never gotten hooked on it. I just don't have the time to go to an internet shop or the computer lab to update once in awhile. I was already happy with my Friendster account at that time (geezz!
