A'Bloom Giant Meringue and Baby Puffs Review

Althea is on a roll! They have been releasing products under their brand since last year and I have been nothing but short of amazed! 

This was one of the A'Bloom products that I was really looking forward to - their Meringue Puffs in Giant and Baby sizes. Good blending sponges are hard to find, and the high end brands simply cost too much. Aside from the fact that the A'Bloom Sponges are too cute, another thing to consider was if they indeed did the job. 

I tested them out to make sure to give you a review, if it is worth it or not. 

Your Go To Naturals Vegan Lipstick Honest Review

If you are a bonafide animal lover then maybe it's time to switch to Vegan Make up. 

What does Vegan Make up mean? It simply means that the make up is free of animal derived ingredients or animal byproducts; think of beeswax, collagen and others.

So if you want to go full on support towards vegan make up, then you can start off with a popular product: Lipstick. Your Go To Naturals has just released 4 moisturizing matte shades that will fit every Filipina's skin tone. Totally wearable and not drying.

Piolang 24K Gold Wrapping Mask Review

Whenever you hear the word gold, you immediately think glamour, richness and luxurious right? Recently, I have seen the increase in the use of gold for food and now beauty products. But, did you know that Gold in beauty products is not new at all?

Gold started as a beauty product regime way back in ancient times from the Egyptians, Romans, Chines and Japanese - but this more noticeable with Cleopatra, who was famous for her beauty, to whom until this day we attribute a lot of the beauty practices from. Cleopatra would use golden masks to keep her skin looking young.

The good news is that you do not need to travel back in time, just to get the feel of gold in your facial mask. Piolang which is under Esthetic House Cosmetics of Korea who manufactures skin and hair care products brings to your home the luxury of gold in your daily beauty mask.

Thank You 2018, Next!

Challenging. Tiring. Self-doubting. Sad.

Those are the words that sum up my 2018 - I know I should be counting my blessings and successes however there would not be any success without going through hardships. 2018 really put me on the line to test my innermost strength. I don't regret the year - don't get me wrong but I am so ready to say thank you, next, please!

Rilakkuma X A'pieu Air Fit Cushion Blusher Review

I have been ultimately curious about the cushion blusher. There are so many types of blushers recently, that I am wanting to know which is the most long lasting out of the lot. There are cheek tints, clay, liquid, powder etc.

Althea had sent me the Rilakkuma Air Cushion Blusher to review and I was happy since I finally get to try out a different type of cheek product.

Althea's Petal Velvet Sunaway: Your Lightweight Sunscreen

Who cares about Sun protection you might say or probably "I don't go out much, so I wouldn't need a Sunscreen at all". But let's debunk that myth. It has no bearing if you go out or not but we are continuously exposed to UV rays everyday even at home.

Yes, you read that right. EVERY DAY AT HOME. So, UV rays main and biggest source is the Sun, however you can still get exposed to UV radiation from incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs of unknown brands, and even from glass windows at home.

Dermclinic | 3Face Treatment Review

Most often we neglect the importance of facial skin care and it really does more harm than good. I found out recently that my facial skin was starting to form Melasma which irked me and I suddenly understood the need for sunblock at ALL times - even when you cook.

Now, I honestly believe in the need to invest in facial skin care now that I am in my 40's. Perfect timing that Dermclinic provided me the chance to try their 3Face Treatment. I usually get nervous with facial treatments with 3 things: pain, time and reaction of my skin. I felt a little anxious but I so wanted to know why Dermclinic's 3Face Treatment was their bestseller.

Svelt'i: Loving Yourself Through The Right Health Care

I have always believed in self-love and self-care. In this age, many people go around looking for health care that would fit their lifestyle - some would take on gyms, go organic and even taking in herbal supplements. Others believe that self-love or self-care would come through investing in skin care. 


OK, so we have heard about the saying "Beauty is only skin deep", but skin plays a major part in self-confidence. I recently spoke with a colleague who shared his journey towards clearer skin which he invested in a lot, because his confidence lowered due to his skin problems. But it's a hit and miss at times with skin care, what will work and do great for a some, leaves others clueless with what will work for them. 

Orabella Gold In Beauty Whitening Products

August 5 marked the day where I was able to discover the Orabella Gold In Beauty whitening products. I was not so sure what to expect during the launch since the brand is fairly new to the market. 



I never thought I would have had so much fun during a brand launch. The hosts were quirky, my seat mates were quirkier and Orabella was very generous with their products that the bloggers had a chance to try out their full sized products in the limited edition gold pouch!

KKOT Essence Lip Balm Review + Lip Swatch

As you know, I posted on Instagram about this cute Lip Balm that I received from BeautyNStyle-Seoul. Before I do a review, I usually would do a road test for a week to make sure that I can give you my most honest feedback. So last week, I did the needed and used the KKOT Essence Lip Balm as much as I could to put it to the test. 

Is it just a pretty looking balm? Does it deliver? Let me answer that here.

I do not think I can live without waxing, I also know a few people who fear waxing salons because it might be painful but what if you can get a wax that is organic, practically painless and sweeter like sugar?
