Review: Celeteque Hydration Facial Wash

Going back to reviewing this weekend. A member of a facebook group asked for reviews on Celeteque Hydration Facial Wash. Most of the commenters liked it and some even said it’s their holy grail. Syempre I had to try it out.

My sister bought a tube when she ran out of her cleanser. It’s my chance to use it! Haha! Honestly I was scared just like how I would normally feel when using a new product. But I was hoping it will be okay since I love their Hydration Toner. That’s one of my favorite toners ever. I tried this cleanser for 1 to 2 weeks. Just to see if there’s any harsh reaction or if my skin changes.

Description:
CÉLETEQUE DermoScience™ Hydration Facial Wash has Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) that helps restore the skin’s proper moisture balance. It also has mild cleansing agents that effectively clean without drying the skin.

Ingredients:

Pros:
-Available in department stores and supermarkets
-Affordable; 75 pesos for 60ml, 118 pesos for 100ml, 270 pesos for 250ml
-No irritations and breakouts
-Little goes a long way
-Skin feels soft and bouncy

Cons:
-Leaves a film
-Has sodium laureth sulfate & other possible irritants

It’s always important to check the ingredients list. It says on the packaging that it’s non comedogenic. It’s easy for brands to claim their products “non comedogenic”. The 2nd ingredient is sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), a mild comedogenic cleansing ingredient that creates lather/bubbles. It’s not as harsh as sodium lauryl sulfate. I’m not saying you should freak out when you see them on the label. Of course, it will depend on your sensitivity. Everyone’s skin is unique. You have to try it out and see for yourself.

Here’s CosDNA analysis

“With Natural Moisturizing Factor”, I have to agree at some point. My skin did not feel dry inside. Glycerin is the safest out of all moisturizers in this product. It also has chamomile, a favorite of mine for calming.  I just dont like that SLES leaves film on the surface. That’s what I’ve experienced from other products with it. The film is removed with toner so be sure to do that next step.

What I like about this is it’s non drying, not because of the film. This cleanser makes my skin soft and bouncy. It’s the same effect when I used Mizon Snail Cream before. Good thing it did not cause irritation and breakouts. It’s affordable and available in 3 sizes that fit in every budget. Buy a small one first if you’re planning to test it. Overall, I still think it’s a decent cleanser if you dont have problematic skin.

Review: Rucy’s Vanity Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

It’s been a while since I posted about eye makeup. I rarely buy products for eyelids because mine are so small. The only acceptable thing for me and noticeable is eyeliner.

I was looking at the bath and cosmetics section in a supermarket few weeks ago. I told myself I’m not going to buy anything. I changed my mind when I saw the kiosk of Rucy’s Vanity. It’s a korean brand with affordable makeup and skincare, if you guys didnt know. Range is from 80 ($2) pesos to 300 pesos ($6). Their liquid liner was on my wishlist so I had to get it.

Description:
7ml. Long lasting Water-proof eyeliner with deep black pigmentation that last whole day without smudging

Ingredients:
to be added later

Here’s the brush. It’s so thin but you can easily draw thick lines too.

Pros:
-Available online and in-stores; department stores and supermarkets
-Affordable, 160 pesos ($3)
-I like simple packaging and no spills
-Long-lasting
-Easy to remove with makeup remover (it’s a pro because I’m a newbie in makeup)
-No smudge
-Thin brush applicator
-It’s easy to create sharp wings with this
-Perfect for monolids like mine

Cons:
-I dont think there’s any.

Testing it with water

I rubbed them thrice after testing with water. The 3rd photo above shows the results. There are some gaps but majority stayed in place. Who would actually rub their eyes when they have eyeliner on? Hahaha. Keep in mind that it’s easily removed with makeup wipes/remover. A plus for me because we’re all about avoiding fine lines.

Please excuse my messy brow. I cant do much with my monolid. I could draw the simplest line with it. 2 coats are enough to make it dark and cover everything. I have warts on the area so going through it twice fills gaps. It dries in a few seconds. I’m oily but there’s no smudging. It lasts the whole day too. No allergic reactions.

This is by far my favorite liner aside from the fork pen Yni-Picturesque. Its brush makes it easy to create thin and thick wings. The price is amazing too.  Just because something’s affordable doesnt mean it’s low quality. Here’s a proof. I highly recommend it. Next on my list: their BB cream and mascara. I’ll get them soon. Most of the time they have discounts. Check out their website rucysvanityph.com.

Or you can get them in-stores. Here are their locations. I got this personally from Rucy’s Vanity Facebook page.

I now know what made my pores look bigger

Naturally, people with oily skin have big pores. There are certain products that can make them more noticeable. I found the culprit in my case. It’s my moisturizer! I dont want to say the specific product… but I’ll tell what’s in it.

If you’re starting with skin care and we have the same skin type, you’ll probably buy “oil-control” products, right? I thought the same thing but boy I was wrong. I tried to cut down my routine. I removed the moisturizer and suddenly my pores improved.

The moisturizer had tea tree, salicylic acid and lactic acid which is really good for minimizing breakouts. It’s a hydrating lotion type. Doesnt even feel like it’s bothering my skin. Probably it’s a mix of masking and moisturizing ingredients and strong ones. I guess my skin got confused.

Products can make you oilier especially if they have so much anti-acne ingredients like salicylic acid, tea tree oil and etc. Yes they prevent and treat acne but they can be drying which results to bigger pores.

That’s why my dermatologists didnt prescribe oil control products for my t-zone. I’m still using aquaphor for the areas affected by dermatitis; cheeks, forehead, nose area and chin. So for now after toner, I dont apply anything on my mid-cheek area. But I’m still planning to use a moisturizer that’s mild like pure centella asiatica. Something that wouldn’t affect skin’s oil balance. Just to avoid any dryness and early signs of wrinkles.

Remember, dont go crazy on oil control. Balance is the key. If you’re using a cleanser that’s drying but your skin likes it, follow it up with products that will really.. actually help to balance the ph level, not masking.☺

“11 Things You Didnt Know About Me” Tag

Happy hump day everyone! 😅👯 I’d like to thank Natasah of Allure By N for nominating me. I just love doing tags and reading bloggers’ answers. It’s a fun way to get to know anyone. 🙂

It’s a tag post and the rules are pretty simple:
You have to answer 11 questions by the blogger you were tagged by. Then when you’re done answering, you tag 10 bloggers of your choice to answer the questions you leave for them!

1. Lipstick, Gloss, Lip Stain, Balm, or Lip Liner? Why?
Tinted lip balms, I love them because they give natural looking colors on the lips. 🙂

2. When did you start your blog and what drove you to do so?
Honestly I forgot when I exactly started blogging. Maybe 2010? This blog was supposed to be a KPOP news site but I thought it’s useless if I’ll just copy & paste articles from other websites. I wanted to create posts which are original.

3. What is your all time favourite movie?
Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.

4. What is your blog about? Why did you choose this genre?
Anything that’s about beauty; makeup, skincare and dermatological treatments for acne sufferer. I chose it because it’s what Im going through until now. And it’s easier for me to publish posts when everything is based on my experience.

When I reached 400,000+ views and collaborations with online sellers and companies.

6. What are your holy-grail makeup products?

I’d pick coral any day! 🙂
