REVIEW: Mise En Scene Smooth and Silky Moisture Treatment

The weather has been so cold lately, I can definitely say its December. I've also been MIA because I've been feeling under the weather but now I'm back with another review. This has been sitting in my drafts for over a year, as I have had this product for a while but I have been using it for the last couple of days and so I am now here with a review.

This is a Korean product from a brand called Mise En Scene. I've heard of this brand already so when I saw this in Myeongdong, I instantly bought it because I knew it was a good brand. This particular product is called Mise En Scene Smooth & Silky Moisture Hair Treatment.

REVIEW: Silk Organix Body Wax Strips with Aloe Vera and Almond Extract

Hi everyone. Today  I am gonna be posting a review of a waxing strip which we've used last month, but I had to wait for a month before posting this review so that I can give more insights and input about the product. This is from a brand called Silk Organix, and its the Body Wax Strips with Aloe Vera and Almond Extract. I just took this one because it was the first thing I saw when I was scanning Watsons for waxing strips. And also because it was cheap.

REVIEW: The Face Shop Watery Tint in #04 Red Up (Rouge Vif)

Today we will talk about one of my favorite water tints - The Face Shop Watery Tint in #04 Red Up. I consider this as one of my go to tints when I just want to look fresh and simple everyday specially when I go out or go to work. This usually retails at Php 250.00 but they are sometimes on sale for Buy 1 Get 1 Free, and that's when I stock up.

REVIEW: Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Mini

Today I'll be reviewing this lip product from Vaseline called Rosy Lips Lip Care. I've been wanting to buy this for so long but I am not really a fan of lip balms so I didn't bother but then Unilever had a huge sale last June so I took the chance and finally bought this for myself to try. It was really hyped before and now we'll see if it does live up to the hype.

Shop for Christmas Lights and Holiday Decors at Xmas Twinkle Star

And just like that, it's now less than 50 days before Christmas! I can't believe that it has been almost 2 years since this pandemic, but I am glad that we are still here to celebrate the holidays. Here in the Philippines, Christmas starts very very early - as early as September. But a lot of things happened in our family that's why we were a bit late with the Christmas spirit and mum has just started decorating this month.

Currently, this is how our tree looks like, but my mum keeps on changing the décor. We usually buy decorations in the mall but due to Covid, we've been mainly buying online. If you're looking for Christmas trees, string lights and holiday decors, then you should definitely check out xmas twinkle star.

My mum does the decorations in our house, and she has already put up our tree, changed the color and design more than 5 times and the lights in the house has been put up already.
Aside from doing the inside décor, we also decorate the exterior of the house, specifically the terrace and the rooftop. And since I love lights, I was planning on buying those cute and mini outdoor lights I've seen all over Instagram, rather than the traditional Christmas lights. If you're also looking for outdoor patio lights, then you have come to the right place! Here are some of my personal favorites from their online store.

These would really look pretty specially at night. The colors look very relaxing and it will definitely create good ambiance to help me relax, which is something I definitely need with the pandemic happening.


If you're looking for something more Christmas-ish, then these Christmas Curtain String Lights would be perfect for your style! It has a drop curtain string design which would look amazing in the living room or in the bedroom. Not to mention the colorful lights and the small stars - this will really give your space that Christmas feel instantly, and for an affordable price too.


Xmas Twinkle Star has a lot of other Christmas lights and decors to choose from. They are so affordable, and you can choose which design and style will suit your theme for your house. Plus, they are currently offering Free Shipping and 15% off on orders $69 and above! So if you'd like to get started on your holiday decoration, please visit their shop now and place your orders.

REVIEW: Dr. Sensitive Pore Purifying and Sebum Control Pink Clay Mask

Today we will be talking about a new brand that I came across last year when I was browsing through Watsons. I am not familiar with the brand, but there were great reviews about some of their products so I went ahead and picked up this Pore Purifying and Sebum Control Pink Clay Mask from a brand called Dr. Sensitive. I didn't know what to expect, but I just really wanted a clay mask that's easy to use and apply unlike the bentonite clay mask.

Review: By Wishtrend Green Tea and Enzyme Powder Wash (Part 1)

Today I am excited to share a new facial product that just arrived earlier today. This is something new to me so I am really looking forward to receiving it. This will be a two part review post by the way, part 1 being about the unboxing, the packaging and first impression and part 2 (which will be uploaded in a couple of days) will be about my review and experience with the product.

The product I am talking about is the By Wishtrend Green Tea and Enzyme Powder Wash. The reason why I am excited about this item is because this is my first time to use a powder face wash. Most of the time I use gel, liquid or foam facial wash so when I saw this powder wash, I was intrigued and wanted to try it. Aside from that, it has green tea which is said to be good for acne. Although I haven't had that much breakouts lately, but I have also cut down on my skin routine and just stick to the basic.

REVIEW: Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner

The product we will be talking about today is one of the cult favorites online, and is always raved about by most beauty bloggers - the Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner. I got this from Wishtrend by the way, and it costs $22.00 for a 180ml bottle. This toner is very popular in the AB community for years already, and I've always dreamt of being able to try it out myself. I remember a friend of mine calling this toner as her holy grail, and now that I finally have the chance to use it, I am so excited to share my experience, thoughts and reviews about the product. Does it live to the hype it's been getting for years now? Let's find out.

This bestselling hydrating toner is a must-have for both dry and oily skin types. Packed to the brim with moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and aloe, it plumps up the skin’s natural barrier and enhances moisture retention. With a viscous yet fast-sinking consistency, you can apply multiple layers of this toner to make skin look instantly moist and supple. It’s rich in anti-inflammatory ingredients that instantly calm redness and repair damaged skin. With soothing centella asiatica and licorice root extract, it also works wonders in minimizing breakouts for acne-prone skin.
I know most of you have already heard about this product for a while now. There might be a few changes to its formulation and packaging over the years, however it is still very popular among beauty bloggers.

BENEFITS
  • Plumps up skin, restores moisture balance, and strengthens the skin’s natural barrier with hyaluronic acid
  • Balances the skin’s pH levels to improve overall skin health
  • Allows moisture to penetrate the skin evenly and deeply with phyto-oligo and wheat amino acids
  • Resolves skin dryness and reduces swelling with anti-inflammatory properties found in centella asiatica and licorice extract
  • Creates the perfect blank canvas for the succeeding steps in your skincare routine
  • Made with a lightweight, fast-sinking consistency you can layer over and over without greasiness
PRODUCT INGREDIENTS
Water, Butylene Glycol, Dimethyl Sulfone, Betaine, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Natto Gum, Sodium Hyaluronate, Disodium EDTA, Centella Asiatica Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Polyquaternium-51, Chlorphenesin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Carbomer, Panthenol, Arginine, Luffa Cylindrica Fruit/Leaf/Stem Extract, Beta-Glucan, Althaea Rosea Flower Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Lysine HCL, Proline, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Acetyl Methionine, Theanine, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Copper Tripeptide-1


HOW TO USE
  1. After cleansing, gently pat the toner on dry face using the heat of the palm to promote full absorption.
  2. We recommend multiple applications on dry areas.

The toner itself is transparent and looks like water. However, you can feel that it is more than just water once you start applying it to your skin. It might look like water but it is a bit thicker and just a tiny bit sticky, at least for me, but nothing over the extraordinary. I still find it lightweight and is easily absorbed by the skin. It is said to be good for Dry/Dehydrated/Combination/Oily skin type, but might not be suitable for those skin who is sensitive to essential oils.


After applying the toner to my face, you can see that it looks healthier and moisturized. What I love about this toner and its consistency is that it doesn't seem to dry out my skin after using it, which is common in most toners. I guess this is one of the reasons why it is so popular, because it is hydrating. 

Overall, I am glad I am able to try this toner because it has really helped my skin in terms of hydration. It might not do much for my acne and acne scars, but it keeps my skin hydrated and looking healthy. It is definitely a must on your skin care routine.

REVIEW: Megan Deep Cleansing Nose Pore Strips with Volcanic Ash Extract

It's time to post another product review, and today we will be talking about the Megan Deep cleansing Nose Pore Strips with Volcanic Ash Extract. I think their nose pore strips have 3 or 4 variants and this isn't really my favorite but I wanted to try it because of the volcanic ash extract which they say is good for the pores.

Review: Luxe Organix Premium Keratin 10-in-1 Hair Elixir

My hair hasn't been healthy for the past few months, and I blame it on my constant need to dye and color and bleach my hair every month, if I could. I've also tried a lot of hair products to at least make it look healthy for a day, but I don't know. Maybe the only way to have healthy hair again is to wait for new virgin hair to grow and not abuse it, again.

Anyways today I will be reviewing this hair keratin from Luxe Organix. Its called the Premium Keratin 10-in-1 Hair Elixir. Such a long name for a product huh. I really thought this was liquid of some sort, like those oil based hair polish, but when I tried it, I was shocked to see its actually sort of like a moisturiser, or a lotion - but for the hair. Is it effective? Read more to find out!

Review: The Face Shop Water Fit Tint in #01 Rose Pink

Today's post will be another lip tint review, this time from The Face Shop. I got this on sale for Buy 1 Get 1 Free for only Php 250.00. Such a steal, right? The product is called The Face Shop Water Fit Tint in #01 Rose Pink. I love the original watery tint, but this time they made a different variant which isn't too watery like the other one.

Natural Wigs and Hair Extentions from Uniwigs

As a woman, we consider our hair as our crown. Personally, I take pride in my hair, although it hasn't been the best lately, but I do love having different hairstyles and hair color every once in a while. As someone who likes to change hair color every month, I realize that this is actually possible with the help of wigs! Yup, new hairstyle and hair color changes your look, and with wigs, you wouldn't have to worry about changing your look everyday.

While browsing online looking for style and color ideas, I cam upon Uniwigs - an online shop with a lot of wigs for sale. I was amazed with the collection that they have online, wigs of different colors, lengths and styles.


I've always wanted to have long hair, but between coloring and bleaching, I just couldn't get my hair to grow longer without looking so unhealthy. Uniwigs does sell a variety of different wigs, including natural wigs, and when I checked out their selection, I instantly fell in love with these long hair styles! Both wigs will give me the long hair I've always wanted, and I can have it in either black or blonde color too.

Now if wigs aren't your thing, you can also try out hair extensions. Uniwigs does have a lot of options for you to choose from, and they are definitely the best with good quality. If you want to spice up your look instantly, then a pony tail extension will be a good choice.



These are just some of my ultimate favorites from Uniwigs, but you can definitely find more styles and color on their online shop. With a wig or a hair extension, you can already change how you look in less than a minute. Be trendy with your hair and shop at Uniwigs. Plus, they're also offering Free International Shipping for orders over $129!

Review: Nature Republic Triple Meringue Tint in #03 Red Brownie

Hi everyone. Today I'll be blogging about one of the lip tints I got during my South Korea trip way back 2019. I originally bought this for my mom as she likes these type of colors but she isn't using it so I guess I'll use this instead. I wasn't planning on buying this tint but then the store where I was (Olive Young) recommended this tint as the color was popular at that time. It was affordable so I really didn't mind, plus Nature Republic is a very good brand and is popular in South Korea too.

Review: Gel Hut Mun White Blackhead/Whitehead Remover

I'm back with another product to review today! I actually have a lot of posts in my drafts which I haven't finished writing yet, but since Cebu Province is back to MECQ starting August 1, I finally got a few spare time with me to work on my blog posts.

Today's review is going to be about one of my holy grail products when it comes to whiteheads and blackheads (I think I only have two favorite products when it comes to whiteheads/blackheads removal). This is a Thai Product called Gel Hut Mun White Blackhead/Whitehead Remover, which became popular a couple of years back. There are a lot of imitation products by the way so you really have to be careful in buying, but I'm glad I chanced upon a legit Thai beauty product seller in Shopee so was able to use this again.

By Wishtrend Pure Vitamin C 21.5% Advance Serum and Vitamin 75 Maximizing Cream

Hi everyone. I've been MIA for a couple of months now as I've been busy with a few things. Although I have been staying just at home due to covid, sometimes I find it hard to write down and post reviews on my blog as the covid situation in our country is taking its toll on me.

Anyways today I will be talking about two products which I have been using for the past couple of weeks. These are from the brand called By Wishtrend. This brand isn't new to me as I was able to try out the highly coveted Vitamin C serum years back. It was still the old formulation and packaging, but now a lot of things have changed and the product itself has been improved so I am really excited to test them out.

Review: Deonat Natural Mineral Deodorant

Today's post will be a review about the deodorant that I'm currently using and loving - the Deonat Natural Mineral Deodorant. There are different variants of this product but the one that I'm specifically using us the blue one with "tawas". Before, I was using different products like Nivea, Dove and Avon deo for my underarm, but early this year I've switched to Deonat and I am so happy with my decision.

Shop for Waist Trainer and Shapewear at Lover-Beauty

Since the pandemic started, I have been mostly just at home doing nothing. Since we are not really allowed to go out, I used this chance to do some home exercises to still stay fit. And to motivate me to really continue with the exercises, I am looking at getting some outfit such as waist trainers and shapewears to help me achieve my body goals! I came across this online shop called Lover-Beauty, which is one of the largest online retailer in China. Their online store has over 10,000 styles to offer so you can definitely find something that suits your preference.

Fractional CO2 Laser from DMV Clinic - 1st Session Review and Experience

Today I'll finally be sharing the results of my first CO2 Laser Session from DMV Clinic. I ahd the session last January 15, 2021, however I only got the chance to write down my experience and everything today so this is a bit late but these are the photos and my experiences during the first week of the CO2 Laser procedure.

Warning: Post is quite long and is picture heavy, wherein photos are a bit awkward but I'll put it out here for reference so anyone who wants to do the same thing will have an idea as to what's going to happen.

For starters, this is my bare face before the procedure. I think the active acne form last week has dried up so I am now left with the scars, plus the old scars I have on my face, specifically on my cheeks and on my nose.

Hi guys. Today I'll be sharing my recent purchases from Luxe Organix. I've been a fan of the brand for a while and am using some of their products already. Because of the good experience I've had with the brand, I decided to purchase other products from them which I'll be sharing below.

Skin Station Diode Laser Underarm (1st Session)

I purchased a Diode Laser Underarm package from Skin Station last January, and at the time the promotion was for Php 4999 for 8 sessions. Their promos change every now and then and at the moment it is actually better because for the same price you get 8+1 session. Such a steal! Anyways, the session can be done at 6-8 weeks interval, or depending on the growth of your underarm hair. 


Warning: This post will be a bit lengthy cos I will blog the whole 1st session and the aftermath after 7 days.

My DMV Clinic Acne Journey - January 2021

Hi everyone! It's already 2021 and we're still stuck at home because of Covid. But the good thing is that we are now able to go out for important things. Yesterday I went to a derma clinic to have my acne checked. I originally planned to do CO2 Laser for my acne scars, however I still have active pimples so I had it checked first, and the doctor prescribed some stuff for me to use. I will be sharing my journey from today until I get the result I wanted.
