Bye Bye Blemish Skin Rescue Serum

Lately I have been so stressed with work and life and my hormones were acting out that I had a huge breakout. It left a huge scar on my face and it was really stressful. I am currently overseas and had no access to my holy grail Korean products for acne and acne scars so I had to search around for something. 

I found this product called Bye Bye Blemish from a pharmacy and the description looked promising. Before I decided to buy it (it was quite pricey, at least for me), I checked for reviews online and found a few nice ones in Reddit lol. I've been reading a lot of stuff from Reddit lately, and I know some of these reviews could be fake but I was desperate. I ended up purchasing it anyway.

Bye Bye Blemish Skin Rescue Serum

Product Description

NEW Skin Rescue Serum is packed with high concentrations of Niacinamide plus Zinc blasts appearance of blemishes away. This serum helps balance natural oils and helps improve appearance of enlarged pores.

I was instantly drawn to it when I saw it has Niacinamide because I need the acne scars to go away asap. It also has Zinc, which is something that I have tried before with The Ordinary so I had high hopes. For the record, I could have purchased the one from The Ordinary but for some reason I wanted to try this and see if its really effective. Also I was scared of fake TO products online so yes.

REVIEW: By Wishtrend Clear Skin Shield Patch

Today I will be reviewing an item I got from Wishtrend's Team Acney Box. I posted about the whole package March 2022 and I am now posting a review on the By Wishtrend Clear Skin Shield Patch. 

This brand has always been pretty popular when it comes to Acne products, and I was so excited to see they now have pimple patches too! I've been using this product lately as I am getting a lot of acne breakouts specially on my right jawline. Is it as effective as the most popular CosRX Pimple Patches? Let's find out.

 By Wishtrend Clear Skin Shield Patch - $10.00

This pimple patch contains 39 patches in 3 different sizes. According to their website, this is made for all skin types. The sizes and dimensions of the patches are as detailed below:

2 Shapes: Circular, Oval

3 Sizes: 10mm, 12mm, 14x23mm

39 Patches in 3 Sheets: 10mm * 15 Patches, 12mm * 15 Patches, 14x23mm * 9 Patches

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

This hydrocolloid acne patch protects the skin against dirty water, dust and physical contact. The thin, breathable fabric quickly absorbs impurities while naturally covering problem areas. Irritation-free spot care for breakouts and pimples.

HOW TO USE:

1. Clean and dry the problem spot before use.
2. Select the right patch for individual problem spots.
3. Gently press the adhesive side of the patch over the problem spot to cover it completely.

For reference, this is the pimple that I will be covering with this pimple patch. As you can see, there's something inside (pus, maybe?) the pimple and it looks like it is about to pop out lol.  You can wear the patches overnight or up to 12 hours. Just replaces them when they have been worn for an extended period of time.

There are 3 sizes for the patch and I used the bigger circular patch since the pimple I'm trying to cover up is just a small one, but I reckon the smallest patch would be too small too. After putting it on my pimple, it does a good job of hiding it as it doesn't look as bad as the before photo without any pimple patch. From afar, it doesn't look that visible too, which is a good thing.

After leaving the patch on for hours, I have removed it and it looks like the pus has all come out and all that's left is just the pimple itself. The patches help absorb impurities and quicken the healing process and reduce the size and severity of the inflammation as you can see. For continuous healing, I will be using Clindamycin which I will soon be reviewing as well.

Overall, this pimple patch is a good alternative to the ever popular CosRX Pimple Patch. And although it is a bit more pricey, but you get a lot more patches for this brand too. Would I repurchase? Well, if it is on sale I'd definitely buy this again.

UP2STEP - Sandals, Heels, Boots and More!

Now that our country is slowly easing up in terms of work, education and tourism, it is just the right time for me to start organizing my work outfits which I have neglected for about 2 years because I was just at home. But now that we are starting to go back to work, I really need a few pieces in my closet as most of the things I owned no longer fits (blame it on quarantine lol). Anyways, I start in a new place so I want to have some new clothes and footwear, specifically casual and smart casual outfits. I recently came across UP2STEP - an online shop selling heels, sandals, boots, flats and more.

Today I will be sharing another new product which I got from my Team Acney box from Wishtrend. I've had the opportunity to use it for about a week, more or less, so I am able to share my first impression and initial thoughts about the By Wishtrend Sulfur 3% Clean Gel.

Wishtrend Team Acney Box and Shoutout to Wishtrenders Promotion 2022

Its now almost April, which means we are almost halfway through the year. I am excited to share to you the Shoutout to Wishtrenders 2022 Promotion by Wishtrend. For this year's event, they have released 4 team boxes which addresses 4 different skin concerns. This includes Team Acney, Team Dully, Team Poresy and Team Combination. And I am so lucky to be chosen to take part of this amazing promotion. (Thank you, Wishtrend team for the support). Since I have acne prone skin and it has always been a problem for me, I have decided to go for the Team Acney box. And so today I will be posting my own unboxing and sharing what's inside the box for the team I have chosen. 

REVIEW: Teranex Gentle Exfoliating Beauty Soap

I have recently started using this beauty product, but after a month of using it, I am now able to post some results and my review about this soap - the Teranex Gentle Exfoliating Beauty Soap. I am not familiar with this brand to start with, but I saw a tiktok video about this soap and the comment section was filled with good reviews and most of them are saying their dermatologist recommended this particular soap so I decided to try it out.

Baginning - Trendy Bags, Purses and More

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted as a lot of things happened at home, so I had to focus on that first. but now, I'm back with another post about something that I love, aside from sneakers - bags! Although I am not a bag collector, but I do have quite a few bags that I alternately use. Specially now that things are slowly returning back to normal, I find myself looking at new bags that I can use. And then I discovered Baginning - an online shop that sells ladies bags, wallets, totes and more! I actually love the name of the shop because not only does it says they sells bags, but it is also a play on the word beginning, which is something that I am currently doing right now; a new beginning in terms of the new year and new work place. Anyways, here's a bit of information about this store.

If you're like me who loves to travel, I would definitely say that a crossbody bag is a must specially when on tours, sight-seeing and picture taking. A couple of years ago, straw bags were basically so popular that almost all ladies have at least one with them. I for one was obsessed with those Bali bags (those shoulder bags which were hand woven and were from Indonesia) but at that time I couldn't afford it. I am just so glad that Baginning sells different styles of straw bags at a very affordable price. I love their satchel and cross body bag style as well as the backpack ones.

Just one more week and it's gonna be February already! I can't believe 1 month has passed by this year.

So, is it really worth the hype and 5 stars online? We'll find out.

Waistdear - Affordable Wholesale Shapewear, Sportswear and Waist Trainer

Happy 2022 everyone! It's a brand new year, and I am hopeful that this year will be better, as we are now going into the 2nd year of the Covid-19 pandemic. I haven't blogged as much as I would have wanted last year because a lot of things happened, and with Covid looming around the corner, it just made me a bit lazy in doing things that I wanted to do, but hopefully this year I will be able to post a lot as I do have a lot in my drafts.

So for this year's first entry on my blog, I will be talking about an online shop who specializes in shapewear, waist trainer and other active wear. Since I am just at home, I have been doing a lot of eating specially during the holidays and now it is time to shed off those extra pounds I gained. And of course, it will be a lot easier if you have the right accessories. That's why I am so happy to have found Waistdear, an online shop who sells shape wear and waist trainer.  Here's a bit of information about the brand/company..

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.

Review: By Wishtrend Green Tea and Enzyme Powder Wash (Part 2)

As promised, here's part 2 of my By Wishtrend Green Tea and Enzyme Powder Wash review, If you missed on part 1, please click here. Its been about a week or so since I have used the product and I can now give a review on what I think about it.

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.
