My Cheap but EFFECTIVE Pimple Drying Cream: Katialis Review

Hello Lovelies!! This review is like an updated review version of my previous post on my  IG account .  Being thrifty, I tend to search for DIY's when it comes to that time of the month wherein my "visitor" a.k.a menstruation visits me with a friend named pimple or sometimes zit. My research lead me to knowing this product: Katialis. :) What:   Katialis Price:   small-25Php large-40 Php Where did I bought it?  Local Drugstore & Mercury Drugs Ingredients : Precipitated Sulfur - a form of sulfur used in treating skin diseases, has a keratolytic effect that promotes peeling of the skin. Zinc Oxid e - a mineral used to threat skin rashes, itching, minor burn & other skin irritation. Not anti-bacteria. Resorcinol - used to treat acne. Salicylic Acid - known to fight pimple & great for exfoliating skin. It has a yellow-greenish-grey color (that color though!) with a cream-powdery consistency and smells like Fissan Foot Powd

No to Chapped Lips: TonyMoly's Ferment Snail Lip Treatment Stick Review

Hello Lovelies!! Again, this is a repost from my IG Account . :)  Last year, being my office near SM Megamall, I was always on the lookout for beauty products, especially Korean ones. My curiosity for Tony Moly started when I encountered the brand while watching a Korean show on an Asian Channel I guess Mnet? Not sure really. It was a show featuring a Korean model named Irene and a Korean Idol and they were like surveying the make-ups of highschool students--and most of them own Tony Moly make-ups and I was like * o *  Source:  https://www.beautyheaven.com.au But first, Ferment Snail Lip Treatment? Say whuuut? Confusing right? But I believe what they are trying to say in a not so "eww" way is that this lip moisturizer is basically made from snail secretion ...yeah...I know, SLIME .  Moving on, let's discuss the benefits of this popular  "Snail Slime" , shall we? Hyaluronic acid - moisture binding agent and aids in creating collagen. 

Skincare Routine: Keeping it Simple

Hello Lovelies! Up until now, I'm still battling with the pimples I got from using Silka . And let me tell you guys, I've haven't experienced a breakout like this for awhile (last that I can remember was during the Beauche experience ) that's why even though I may seem fine outside, but I'm really-really-hontoni-hontoni crying and panicking inside .  ( ╥_╥) However,  let's not dwell most on the sad part--with this situation at hand I thought of researching how to take care of my face--the right way. The thing is, we often think that having a squeaky clean face is the solution to battle pimples and stripping oil is the best way to do that...which is sadly not ENTIRELY TRUE. OOPS. Image Source: http://www.fletchercreekwater.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/water.jpg Because there is a thing such a Good Oil and a Bad Oil... Actually it is quite easy to differentiate the two, Good Oil is the oil we produced naturally on our face, which our face used as

The Aloe Vera Gel Battle: Esfolio vs. Nature Republic vs. The Face Shop (Repost from IG)

Hello Lovelies!! As stated on the title, this is just a repost from my IG account --once tried it as a review platform but didn't progressed. *please excuse me for my laziness =.="* In this post I will review three (3) products (again, as stated on the title xD)--sorry for hoarding aloe gels -.-" but actually, the main reason why I switched from oil moisturizers to aloe gel last year (yes, last year because now I'm loving oils again ♥ except during summer time) is because I thought my skin is oily but turned out it was a combination type  AND ALSO , I learned that oil moisturizers are not really bad for oily skins. :) It just depends on using the right kind of oil. Hopefully, I will be able to post something about what oil to use for a specific skin, but for now-- since I still need some research about that --be patient with me. xD So nuff-nuff with the chit-chat, let's proceed with the Bida or Main Character of this post. But first! Let's h

Quick Review: Silka Whitening Herbal Soap

Hello Lovelies!! Just a quick review :) Being used by my friend and at the same time having good reviews online, I decided to see for myself if this will become my long term soap. The 65g Budget Pack of Silka Whitening Herbal Soap What?  Silka Whitening Herbal Soap How Much?  16 Php / 0.31 $ Where?  Leading supermarkets & drugstores Rear Portion: Ingredients & Description Ingredients:  Sodium Palmitate/ Sodium Palm Kernelate  - based on what I gather, these two are both cleansing agent--being sodium but, in high amount can be a skin irritant because they strip off oil from the skin. :( Salicylic Acid   - known to fight pimple & great for exfoliating skin. Mineral Oil  - hhhmmmmmm Carica Papaya Enzyme  - exfoliating dead skin cells. Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate  - Vitamin E!! Finally! A moisturizer! The Verdict... Pros: Affordable. 16 pesos guys!! 16!! Smells goooooood. Cons: Breakouts (not only on my face but on my body also!! T

Hair Removal: Glam Works Body Wax Strips Review

Hello lovelies!!!   I'm back and somewhat excited! Ahahaha! 3 years already passed! Gosh! *o* And believe me a lot happened to me: both ups and downs in terms of life and health but thanks to God's unending grace, glory and love ...I'M BACK! And I never thought that I would actually, but thanks to my officemate who inspired me to be back to blogging, I'm here! Anyway, enough of the drama. Here's my comeback post for 2017! (mid-2017, that is xD) Glam Works Body Wax Strips But first what is a Wax Strip? Unlike the common hot wax or cold wax, that you need to put first the wax directly on your skin then topped it with the cloth as a mean of support in pulling off the hair, the wax strip has its wax already placed on the cloth--ready to be used on skin.
