Product Review: Myra Vita White Face Lotion

All these years I didn’t really care much about the importance of moisturizing since I have an oily skin type. I’ve read in some magazines that people of my skin type can skip on moisturizer since our face produces more than enough natural oils anyway. Still, I was into face creams because I want to have a fairer face. But now that I’m 23, I’ve realized that I still need moisture to age gracefully. And sunblock! It’s a must here on our country. The UV rays are getting harsher and we NEED something to protect our skin from it. I surely don’t want to see the effects of photoaging and skin cancer like 20 years from now.

How Do You Spot an Authentic Nyx Round Lipstick from a Fake One?

Just the other night, I posted an article called "How to Spot a Real NYX Lipstick from a Fake One". I admit it was a hasty thing I did, and I sincerely apologize to all of you. I made the post comparing two lipsticks I bought from different online sellers. I held firm on my words because the online seller of Lipstick A claims that her NYX products are 100% authentic. I believe her since when I purchase from her, I’m always satisfied with my loot. And then I received a comment that made an impact on me .

The Many Uses of V&M Naturals Emu Oil

Is oil bad for skin? Truth is, it depends. Our skin produces its natural oils that actually protect our skin from dryness and the harsh environment. But when the skin overproduces oil and dirt gets to mix with it, than when the skin pores clog and get irritated. So if that’s the case, why do we need to put more oil on our skin? It’s actually okay as long as you know the right oils to use. Take for instance V&M emu oil.It is an organic oil extracted from richly-fed emu birds from Australia. It is the fastest-absorbing oil on human skin and it has a lot of skin-and-tissue healing properties. It also contains vitamins A and E, oleic acid and other ingredients which are beneficial for the skin. And did you know that it is a secret ingredient used in some ointments and other beauty products? Really, what can’t this oil do?

Product Review: Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Soft Azallea

It's been over a year since hot pink lips became the trend here in the Philippines, yet people can't seem to get over it. I thought this year the trend would shift to coral. Yes, I saw some who followed it but the pink craze is still pretty much on! I think it's because pink is a youthful, feminine and casual color. You can wear it while strolling on a mall, bonding with your girl friends, going on a date, or even at work. The possibilities are endless when wearing a pink lipcolor.

Product Review: V&M Naturals Modern Geisha Soap

Each of us has our own preferences when it comes to bath soap. Some settle for the simple germicidal soap. Some prefer whitening soaps containing natural or chemical-based ingredients. Some like moisturizing soaps. Some go for scented soaps, organic, milk-based and the list goes on. I, on the other hand, can't seem to settle for just one category. I've tried a lot of soaps and I've said countless times that I'll stick to it, only to find myself switching to another brand kahit 'di pa ubos ang sabon ko.

Product Review: V&M Naturals Bare It All Cream

I've always been fond of whitening stuff. Typical modern-day Pinay huh. Before, it was my ugly-duckling phase that led me to try different kinds of over-the-counter whitening creams. I admit I got a little obsessed with the "mestiza mentality" because I envied how some girls have that flawless, creamy white skin that I wished I was born with. But now that I've come to embrace my tan complexion, I just want my skin to be healthy,even-toned, radiant, and youthful-looking. I don't aim for drastic whitening anymore just like what Bale did to hers. No offense meant; I respect her personal choice. I still want people to recognize me for skin that I was born with, only better this time.
