IAMBRIGITTE

Summer of last year, I went from having a long, curly hair to a semi-pixie cut.  Why? Simple.  My hair wasn't able to keep up with the sandpit's desalinated water. It got so dry, brittle and the hair fall became so crazy.  In as much as I wanted to keep my hair long after growing it out for years, I had no choice but to cut it really short.  Now, after almost a year of sporting a short 'do, I am again contemplating on growing out my hair.  But I'm scared that the same thing will happen all over again.   Sayang ang effort sa pagpapahaba.  Kaya huwag na lang. Then I got first dibs on a miracle hair product that is soon to hit the stores in PH (and hopefully here in the UAE).  If you are following me on Instagram, you'd know that I've been posting teasers of this product that is said to have gained the title of being the first #Cosmo BeautyCrush in PH. Wow!  It must be really that good.   So my loves, I give you ...

If you like the outdoors, going to the beach and basking under the sun, you gotta make sure that your skin is well-protected from all the sun's harmful rays.  That means slapping on sunblock, baby!  And let's face it, not all sunblock are pleasant.  Some have an awful scent it's like you just came out of a chemistry lab after using it.  Some can be oh-so-damn sticky and greasy that you'd feel uneasy and make you less enjoy your outdoor activities.  And yes, there are some that would leave a whitish cast on and off photos, and who would like to look less pretty like that!?  Any one? Now you don't have to worry about all those because with Belo Sun Expert Sunblocks, you only get to worry how to enjoy being out in the sun more. Belo SunExpert Sunblocks I got these babies from Sample Room and yes, they are in full-sizes!  I've tried their sunblock for the face and body in the past and found them to be really worth their price (they don't come...

I've always envied my friends, most especially those in the US, whenever they would tell me they got samples of some products...and mind you, sometimes they really get a lot!  Usually, they get them after buying some products from a brand...so they aren't technically free.  You're lucky if some brands are having a promo, and they are giving away samples for free.  But yes, most of the time, you only get samples after buying.   Here in PH, some brands give samples as well after a purchase.  I know that Clinique, Lancome and Estee Lauder do because Mom would bring home loads of samples after her periodic shopping in Rustan's.  What I love about them is they extend their generosity even to me, sending  me loads of samples too.  But yes, they aren't technically free. You have to buy first, before you can get samples.   Lately, there are a number of subscription boxes that sprung one after the other here in PH.  Again, they are tec...
