Balmed and Colored because of Maybelline Baby Lips


Hi Guys!  Have you ever wondered why your lips are dry and cracking? Is it chappy?  Sore and sometimes bleeding?    Well, that is one of the many common problems of girls these days.  Due to the constant change of climate, our physical changes ~ our lips show the sign next to the eyes and skin. 

Way back younger years, I didn't worry about my lips.  They were pink, fine and soft.  I rarely use anything on it.  Due to some occasions at school and church, I have tried applying lipstick.  It was very nice.  hahaha. Around my 24 years, applying lipstick as part of my beauty regimen.  Back then, no problem was encountered.  Although I stopped eventually.

When I started working, it became a very normal application.  That was when I started to have lips problem like it was chappy, sore, dry and pale.  Maybe because the AC in the working environment was too cold.  Anyhow, I began my search for a lip balm.  I have tried several brands and finally last 2014, I finally found the product that worked wonders  ~ a lip gloss and color at the same time. Thank you Baby Lips Maybelline!



 My favorite is this PINK PEONY color.  It is a balm (cure the lips) and at the same time, a lip color.  This shade works best on me.  This used to be Chesca's but when mine was all consumed, I decided to use this since she did not.

Chester paid P89 for this one when we dropped by at Trinoma and bought some 2014 Christmas presents for Chesca and Noelle.  Thank you Ches!

You can try this if you want.  It works great ~ lip gloss and color in one.  No need for me to apply a lipstick.

My mom and friend Isa loves this color.  So do I!  I will surely stay loyal using this Maybeline's lip gloss forever.  It met my expectation.  Hooray!

Longer Freshness because of HumanHeartNature

Because I deserve better...Get Organic to be safe!

For many years until 2013, I have been searching what intimate product would work best for me.  I really didn't care about the price anymore but of course hoped for something affordable.  I have tried many different feminine wash endorsed and not endorsed alike.  Too sad no product really met my expectation.  So, I tried kojic papaya soap and that worked well.  I used for it for about 6 months but still hopeful of finding an ORGANIC feminine wash.

So last quarter of 2014, I started using HumanHeartNature feminine wash ~ 100% No Harmful Chemicals.  It was my friend Pierne Revillo who introduced the brand to me when I commented her glow during a night church activity.  She told me she even came from her work which surprised me.  So I asked her what product she uses on her face.  She happily replied "I do not use anything except Human Nature."  That left an impression in my mind.

I bought first the 50 ml bottle at P 49.50 of HM at Landmark, Trinoma.  One of my hobbies is checking out the health and beauty section.  The first one I used is the same as this second bottle ~ lavander color and has the powder cool effect.  It comes in three colors - Blue, Pink and Lavander.  There's a bigger bottle as well. One 50 ml bottle usually lasts for a month for me.  May vary depending on the person's usage.  I use it in the morning after bath and before I sleep at night.  When I wake up, it still feels and smells good. 

I love the product now.  It gives me an assurance that I am fresh longer.  After washing, I instantly feel fresh without any stinging feeling.  So subtle and gentle.  It is even safe to use during my red days.  I did not experience having rashes nor itchiness.  Thanks HM for this organic feminine wash.

You may try it for yourself too and feel free to leave your comments below.  Let's volt in for the beauty power!

Matte and pretty because of Ponds BB cream


For 3 months since 2014, I have been scouting on a product that may serve its purpose well.  I will be taking a passport photo on January 30, 2015 and of course, I wanna look great ~ not so shiny, matte and lines hidden from the camera.  I have seen this product's tv commercial  many times so it came to my mind why not try it?  I was thinking if I could purchase a small version of it, why not?  I do not buy big ml at first.  I see to it, for a trial, it wouldn't be wasted.  Since I dropped off at MRT North Station last January 12th, I proceeded to Trinoma, Ayala Malls after work.  I asked the Ponds lady if they have a small version of the BB cream...boom!  they have so I bought it after she got my number for ponds promotions and some few guidelines.  The price was right for my budget P149.50.  It's just 8 grams.   
English and Thailand product detail by the side

So, since I am fair, I chose the LIGHT shade.  PONDS is declaring this to be the first all-in-one Advanced whitening BB Cream that works from outside to inside.  It gives a natural coverage that is specially designed to match your skin tone instantly.  It has whitening actives known to penetrate deep to lighten skin and spots from within.  

Here are what you cane expect to happen:

1.  Instant natural coverage
2.  Non-pores clogging
3.  Light, non-oily texture
4.  Lightens from within
5.  Reduces dark spots
6.  Evens skin tone
7.  Protects from UVA, UVB, and visible light
8.  Specially designed for Asian skin

Use every morning after day cream.  

WARNING:  Do NOT stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product 2.  In case of any irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist    3.  Store away from direct sunlight and heat.

I love the SPF PA 30++ because it protects my skin from the UVA, UVB and visible light although I have to take precaution of the exposure.

Sounds really Asian to me, huh?!




Notice that the end of the container also has some series of numbers - the expiry date May 06, 2017.  What's unique about PONDS is the tulip logo underneath the logo word.  

The only down side of this 8 g toothpaste container is the very tiny printing of the lower detail like customer hotline.  If you are in panic, reading this would even add to your dilemma.  So here's their hotline number in the Philippines ~ 588-7888 within GMA    Dial  1-800-1-888-7663 outside Manila.

If you haven't thrown the box, the hotline number is more visible to read.  But of course, we normally don't keep the box, right?  I guess, small packaging means small lettering too. 

I have applied this on my face last January 13th when I met Chester at PLDT Boni.  We had to fix the issue of the recurring DSL we never used since the time of transfer to the new house.  Honestly, I LOVED it. I used 5 pea-sized of it on my face. The first even lathering on my face was nice.  It left me a matte feeling and the oily traces were gone.  My face color looked toned, texture and lines even and smooth.  The smell was nice too.  Awesome!  Just as how I expected it.  So I am ready to wear it on the 30th again. Don't worry I will update this blog with that photo so you guys can see it for real.
