The cream:

It smells the same with other Olay products. :)

Pros:

  • affordable
  • good moisturizer
  • light
  • with UV protection
  • effective! :)
  • available at supermarkets, drugstores and beauty stores like Watsons. :)
  • available in sachet like mine and in a tube. :)

Cons:

  • with paraben. :(
  • I didn’t like the feeling when I used this because my skin is so oily plus it’s summer and it’s super hot! @___@

I’ve used this for 2 weeks and I can say that it’s effective. My skin is a bit lighter now. :)

This cream is good for dry skin and for not so oily skin. I prefer to use serums/essence if I’m in hot places because they are lighter compared to creams. BUT my skin is dry when I’m in an air conditioned place so I think this cream is perfect for that. :)

Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Sheer Silky Skin review

2 May

Hello ladies! It’s still our summer vacation here in our country. I can’t buy anything because I’m broke. HAHAHA. I’ll be reviewing new products as soon as I get my baon. (It’s the money given by the parents during school days)

Enough of that. Let’s move on to the famous BB Cream of Etude House, the Precious Mineral BB Cream. We got some samples of this BB cream a long time ago. hehehe. I just decided to review this because my blog’s dull now and people might think this blog is inactive. NOOOOOO! :) )

I can say that this is not too thick and not watery. It’s just the normal texture of BB Creams. I can compare its shade to Tony Moly’s Dear Me Petite Cotton BB Cream.

When Blended: This BB cream is pretty strong. I tested this bb cream and washed the back of my hands with water then (more…)

Tony Moly Expert Triple BB Cream review

22 Mar

It’s the start of my summer vacation. I missed doing this. hehehe! :D So today I’m gonna review another Tony Moly product. We got this as gwp. :)

Sorry for the crappy photo. The batteries for my cam are too old . They can’t open my cam anymore. :( Gotta buy new ones! ^O^

Pros:

  • Good coverage
  • Whitening
  • Anti Wrinkle
  • With SPF
  • Dewy finish
  • Gives glow to the skin

Cons:

  • The full size is a bit expensive
  • Kinda thick

This BB cream is kinda thick and creamy. It’s for oily and sensitive skin but IDK why it’s thick. The packaging and the trial pack might have an effect. Not sure. The color is just the same with Dear Me Petite Cotton BB Cream.  I really want to show you the shade of it but I don’t want to waste any of it because it’s a good BB Cream. Overall this is another good BB Cream from Tony Moly. :)

I’m planning to buy the Honey Bee BB Cream because it’s for acne prone skin. Watch out for my review about it! :)

Tony Moly Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream review

11 Jan

Me and my sister went to the mall. So I bought this and got a freebie, Fresh Aqua Tear Drop Toner. I’ll be reviewing about it too. This is my late Christmas gift for myself.

Description From Tony Moly’s website:
Multi-functional cream that effectively removes Keratin and double up as a massage cream with a nourishing pack function. Containing Green Apple extract, AHA and Papaya extract, this Appletox pack provides excellent exfoliation of dead skin cells and aged Keratin. Skin is kept smooth and radiant.

Directions
After daily cleansing, apply an appropritate amount onto the skin and gently massage in a circular motion. Once dirt particles appear, simply rinse off with lukewarm water. Recommended to use 1~2 times a week.

Cautions
For external use only. Do not apply to areas of the skin where sores, Eczema or dermatitis occur. Do not swallow and avoid contact with eyes or on skin which is sensitive to bandages or pad cloth. Discontinue usage and consult a dermatologist if signs of skin irritation and/or rash appear. Keep out of reach to children and store product away from direct sun exposure.

The packaging, it’s so cute. I keep this in the fridge. I love cold masks/pack. :D When it’s all used up, I’ll still keep the cute container. :)

It has a plastic cover at the top. Hygienic, eh? :)

Good thing this cream is not that thick compared to others. :) I hate super thick creams/pack, Im too lazy to remove all the residues. lol. XD

You can immediately see the results like this one. Those grayish things are dirt from my skin. :D

Pros:

  • You can see the effects fast.
  • Affordable, 528 pesos
  • light weight
  • not too thick, easier to be removed.
  • cute packaging
  • the smell is not strong
  • relaxing
  • did not give breakouts

  • so far I don’t have cons for this product. :)

I’m glad I bought this. Another amazing product from Tony Moly. :D

Skinmate Shark Oil review

12 Oct

UPDATED

Directions

  • This is applied as spot treatment only, not for the whole face.
  • NEVER use cotton when applying Skinmate Shark Oil as it will irritate skin.
  • Apply Skinmate Placenta Cream right after applying Skinmate Shark Oil. It works as a moisturizer.
  • After applying shark oil for one straight week, one can now apply it every other night.

My tips

  • It is better if you consult a dermatologist about your skin problems.
  • Apply it on the affected areas only like on dark spots. Take note that you should not apply it on the whole face.
  • After applying it for one straight week, let your skin rest for one to three weeks. Then apply it again but make sure it’s every other night only.
  • Don’t use it too much. Too much peeling may lead to skin darkening

Packaging:

Pros:

  • it peels skin within 3 days
  • lightens dark spots within a week
  • the peeling is not that obvious unlike other peeling products
  • affordable

Cons:

  • It has this smell but it’s completely tolerable
  • I don’t like the redness of my skin when I’m under the peeling session.
  • Can’t peel my deep acne marks

WARNING you can see gross pics below~ (more…)
