Shopping for essentials...

-

I can't believe it's February already.  Before we know it, it'll be Christmas again!  
LOL!  

It's been weeks since I got back and being a good girl with a promise to cut back on shopping, this is my first time to shop again. But nah, I didn't shop for makeup or clothes (because I'm too big and I'm still hoping I'd lose some inches first) but essentials! I know I call makeup my essentials, but this time, I only bought stuff I REALLY need.

Finally, Dove Hair Therapy Shampoos and Conditioners are now in the Philippines. We've been buying ours from PX stores in Subic...now, no need to take that extra mile!
^_^



I've been using Nivea creams since time immemorial. I use them on my neck, knees and elbows.  This is the first time i'd be using their Double Effect Shower and Shave cream though.  I've been using Gilette shaving gel for a long time but I think it's time to try out other brands. Okay fine, I admit I got sold with its packaging. (Rolls eyes)


Other essentials:
ahhh, it's so expensive being a girl!


I bought this because I realized that I've ran out of Ponds cold cream which I also use at the gym. Good thing I was still waiting for the gym classes to start so I had time to buy stuff first.  I panicked when I was told that the cold cream is currently out of stock (was trying to buy at the Galleria)! I had to look for an alternative and I saw this.  Wanna know if it's as good, or probably even better?  Watch out for my review.



Okay...I got one makeup.  Swear, this the only makeup stuff I got.  See, I'm being a good girl now.  I'm really trying to cut back on makeup shopping this year...to save up on other things. Give me a pat on the back, will you please!?

cute promises.
but a woman needs pampering. just do not overdo the buying.use them up to it's last drop before buying again new ones. sometimes we tend to buy even we still have enough lotion, shampoo etc., now, i also cutback on this. i really do pour out the last drop and try to finish all before i will purchase another one. My last beauty product purchase was november 2011. i am almost 2 and a half months on my cutback promise for this year. imagine how i tried so much to avoid going to guardian or watsons and beauty section on malls..=)

your make up blog is fun though..goodluck, be beautiful and enjoy life..=)

I love buying essentials as much as I love buying make up :) Especially skin care products, I can spend hours comparing and smelling different facial cleansers and moisturizers. It's also a bit more justifiable because my husband can always use what I buy. I find that I keep telling him "it was on sale!" or "we NEED to stock up on this" hehe

  It's almost Christmas...just two days away and honestly, I don't feel like being festive.  I am going through A LOT these past weeks and as much as I want to say I am okay, I just can't.    How can one be okay when that one person whom you thought would stay with you no matter what just decided to drop everything that has got to do with you and just move on?  How can one be okay when you're told right in your face that he's in love with someone else and that he can't be with you anymore.  How can one be okay when despite everything you still want to hold on and fight for him, but he has given up already...given up on you and given up on the idea of you two being together.   We've been thru a hell lot.  Our relationship is far from being perfect. But despite that, we still find ourselves back together.  And I know we can still get through this, this time. But like what he said, things just happened. It was so fast it was like eve...

Product Review: Gluta-C Underarm and Bikini Skin Whitening Gel....

It has been more than a month since I started using this underarm whitening gel from Gluta-C (read about its launch here ).  So did it work, or not? I'll make you bitin muna , first let me tell you what the product is all about... ^_^ Gluta-C Intense Whitening Underarm & Bikini Skin Whitening Gel Formulated with Glutathione, Vitamin C and Bellis Perennis (Daisy) Flower extract, it lightens dark spots, prevents melanin formation and visibly whitens underarms and darker toned areas (bikini area, inner thighs, elbows and knees) for even-toned skin.   It also has Green Tea extract and other moisturizing agents to hydrate the skin, keeping it soft and smooth to the touch.   There's also protein to help slow down hair regrowth, reducing the frequency of shaving or plucking.  Hair grows back softer and thinner too, making coarse stubbles a thing of the past. I think most of us suffer from uneven skin tone on our underarms and bikini are...

GLOWW... your way to a younger, brighter and pinkish skin...

-

There was a time when I was such a sucker for anything whitening. I've tried both IV and oral glutathiones, and of course, whitening lotions. Years passed by and my reasoning went beyond whitening. Having an incurable case of insomnia, not to mention TOO MUCH stress from work, my skin needs a lot of help to keep it from aging prematurely. Besides, who would want to look a lot older from your age? When news about the possible bad effects of glutathione spread on the news, I eventually stopped...i tried to keep a healthier lifestyle instead like eating more veggies and fruits, TRYING to sleep early and keeping myself away from stress. But as I get older, I realized I need more than that. I need supplements to help me fight aging and to stay looking young. I was just thinking about what skin vitamins to try when the PR for GLOWW contacted me. It was such a good timing, really. So what is GLOWW ? GLOWW is not actually a whitening pill. It's a skin supplement to he...
