TONY MOLY's Valentine's SALE Begins!

There were two mega sales I went to last friday night, the other is Tony Moly's Valentine's Sale where you can take advantage of a 40% discount on skin care and a few makeup items.

Seen in the photos are the products in sale and of course I just had to take advantage of the discount on the snail cream set!  

But I bought a few items that weren't on sale.  I'm really liking the tea tree cream makeup remover and the floria makeup remover wipes aren't that bad for p98 for 15 sheets.

This sale will go on until supply lasts or February 19.  Clearly I'll come back for the snail cream ampules and sleeping pack! Yaaaataaah!
by the way, please visit their facebook page for announcements specially on which branches will be participating in this Valentine's sale.

SKINFOOD Philippines MEGA SALE at SM Megamall

As a privilege card holder of Skin Food Philipines, I was one of the many that received their sms that they will be having their mega sale and that this sale will only be happening at their flagship store at megamall.  and yes, you read it right, 50% off on EVERYTHING!

 this sale is for this weekend only that began friday, january 27 and ends tomorrow january 29.  So yeah by 10am yesterday I was already itching to run to mega, but alas, I had to work.

 So by the time I did get to mega, they had run out of my beloved peach sake.  The entire line was sold by lunch!  I hear that someone purchased 10 units of the ginko bb cream! My fisrt ever skin food product.

But I at least I got to grab my fave hair pack, my fave mask and my recent new fave, the lippy with spf.  All on half off with an extra 5% off because I had my skin food privilege card.  And I got and egg white pack, the last pack!  

So yeah, buying these at half off is like buying from kkochipida but I get to pay with my cc (which as some of you know I would prefer to use as I hardly ever bring cash except for transpo and food).  This sale is their delayed anniversary gift to their loyal patrons.  Thank you Sobrinas Inc.  And thank you for bringing back Miss Che.  She has always taken care of me since 2009.

This Week in BB Cream: Nature Republic Collagen BB Cream SPF25 PA++ Age Slick

Disclaimer:  though this bb cream is a gift with purchase Nature Republic didn't pay me to do this review.  I also do not know how much the full size of this at Nature Republic Phils. And by the way I do not know what md water is, hehehe baka may magtanong, hindi na ko nag-google.

It's been a very toxic week with the sniffles, and a culmination of three months work is upon me and I needed something quick and easy for my daily face, no mess or fuss. 

This is actually what I needed this week.  Something simple, nothing too fancy with a bit of protection and coverage.  the really nice and really mild baby powder scent is a sweet bonus.  I'm glad this freebie is in that kind of upside down squeeze tube and makes it more hygienic and tidier to keep and reuse.  Either my skin is extra dry because of the season, the colds I had this week, or the tension but my skin appreciated this bb cream that I think is really for combination dry skin.  

Only my nose would get oily and would get that way only after 3-4 hours has passed already.  I actually no longer retouch with powder and only blot the oil from my nose. It has spf25 pa++ enough for indoors.  The scent, awww I really like the johnson baby powder scent, yung normal.  It lasts all day, too, I just haven't tested it walking around in heat or humidity.  

 It didn't break me out and it's not too reflective in flash photography.  The coverage though, is well, very light.  I like the shade though, it suits me.  A touch of setting powder helps, but overall if you have redness and scars to hide then have your concealer around.  Pore coverage is minimal as well.  but at least, it's quite easy to remove ;-)

  I recommend this bb cream for those short trips to the market when you'd need some sun protection and not look like the walking dead.  Will I purchase the full size?  I think I'll try out Nature Republic's other bb creams specially the one for oily combination skin.

QUICK SHARE: The Face Shop White Lily Whitening Body Essence

Just a quick post from my phone and it's zzzz for me, still a little under the weather =(
Have you noticed that though it's sunny and can still be hot in the afternoons that it is still kinda dry?  As much as i dislike humidity, I dislike dry, feeling stretched skin more.  Parang nabanat sa tuyo.  These photos were actually taken back in december when the hubby and I went to hk, when at the time was or still its their winter season.  So yeah, dry and quite nippy.  I as I've said on and off I always bring the freebies given to me when I travel rather than bring a shizz load of stuff that I'll only use a teeny tiny bit of then bring same stuff back home.  So I like these sachets that only contain a few ml enough for use for the weekend then you can just trash it.  That way you can have space on your luggage for????  You guessed it, your shopping haul!

So back to the lotion, so clearly I don't neeeeeeeeed to whiten, mom and dad gave me that for free.  In fact I often say, 'seryoso ka ba miss???' After some sales clerk offers me some whitening product, oysssh. 

So my comments will be on the lotion minus the claims of whitening.  The sachet was pretty hard to open without scissors, which for me is a very good sign, it means to me that the product won't dry out too quickly in case I don't use it (if I don't open it).  this thing smells sooooooooo GOOD!  I'm not a scent person, so long as it's either vanilla or cheery blossoms, and possibly moringa (tbs) I'm happy.  The scent of this white lily its really light, not heavy or irritating like lola's perfume na halos alcohol na.  If they had a perfume version if this I'd buy it.  The lotion is really nice, too.  It wasn't greasey at all, it's perfect for the kind of weather/climate we've been having the last few weeks.  But for winter and dry hk, I need reapplying in about 3-4 hours.  This sachet though lasted me the entire trip, so a little goes a very long way, just a little on your usual dry spots, your elbows, your forearms, shins, and even heels.

Hmmmm thinking about all of its pros is making me wanna get it full size!

More lotion reviews soon, the liquid hand soap where I work is super drying, any guess what hand cream I use after I wash my hand after my business in the loo?

Answer with review, soon :-P

My WISH Company Gift Box Arrives

Disclaimer: the WISH Company didn't pay me to blog about them.  I had entered their survey contest thing and was one of the few that were contacted to receive these.

Today the hubby went to the post to pick up his and my stuff and here we are.  

Yeah! I can get to try new stuff, thanks to these samples!  They included stuff from tony moly, the face shop, sulwhasoo, holika holika, innisfree, missha, liz, skin food, and another from real moist (?) A couple of pencils.

The survey asked me what I wanted and I was given a choice of bb creams or thus funky case.  Since, as some of you know or think I already.have loads of makeup specially bb creams, I chose the funky case, the Rainbow pouch.    

I'm glad I did, hahaha it's stretchy and opens however, it's sorta stretchy zipper finely stitched together at the ends, so no i can't take it apart and just have a few pairs of zippers.  It's great for travel and it's almost take the shape of whatever you put in it or fit in the bag whatever shape that is.  just be careful which zipper you open or all your stuff will fall out, so i guess there's a reason why that namzia market to give you a clue which is the bottom or TOP, whichever LOL. 

And it's washable, so it's it's all good. 

thank you, WISH Company:

REVIEW: Etude House Wannabe Shine Finish Pact & Highlighter Duo SPF25 PA ++

Posting from my phone.  I may never get out of bed, if it weren't for hunger hahaha O.o
This is one of the Christmas gifts given to me by Etude House last Christmas.  This is part of the Wannabe collection that they say is limited edition. woah, this is PhP898
There are instructions in the back.

 what the product looks like.  it smells soooo good, too!  it sorta smells like the roller perfume they gave me.

 the lid separating the powder product from the puff

 and what it looks like on my skin.  the shade match is really good and the 'shine' is very very minimal if any.

the pink highlighter is what it is, a little powdery and not too finely milled but does the purpose, but at least it doesn't make me look oily in the middle of the day.

product description and shade.

 ingredients and instructions.

and this number 1 shade looks really natural on me and doesn't look like i have a mask on.  and it mattifies the uber luminous laneige snow bb soothing cushion.

 Likes:

• shade match, it looks dark in the pan but suits my nc15-20 skin
• has spf 25 pa ++
• doesn't break me out
• has a very slight scent but i really really love the scent
• mattifies my luminous face products
• very pretty packaging
• has a separator lid to keep the sponge puff separate from the powder
• has some coverage
• doesn't cake up my cream or liquid products on my face
• doesn't cake up in the middle of the day
• the highlighter doesn't accent my pores
• doesn't feel heavy on my skin
• great for travel since it's got its own highlighter, so space saver
• lasts 36mos upon first opening 

Dislike:

• doesn't last long on my face, i get oily within about a couple of hours
• the price, for once for any etude house review from me, i will put the price of this item under my dislike.  i feel, that apart from its wonderful scent, it's a run of the mill setting/pressed powder pact.  so i guess people who buy this will be buying it because it's a limited ed and for its packaging.

Do i recommend?

yes i do, ultimately this is a collectible item.

REVIEW: Tony Moly Intense Repair Live Snail Hydro-gel Mask

Just another quick post from my phone. Yeah, yeah, I'm addicted to this thing.

Finally I get to this product.  Though I know I'm going to get a few more of these babies, here are my initial thoughts.
i got this at Watson's about a week ago, and there's the price, it's PhP298 per sachet of one use mask.

Upon opening the packet I was expecting the usual folded up really thick tissue drenched in goo. i get a clear thick plastic holds the fold of the mask in place. The mask was sandwiched between plastic, paper, and ANOTHER PAPER.  soooo it's slimy, and I got the thing, both parts on my face.

my before pic after i had applied toner.

the during, see the nose flap? The nose flap was irritating.  oh yeah i fell asleep with this on.  it was that cooling, relaxing, minus the part where i can't breath properly LOL.  so i guess i wore this for about an hour? I had the sniffles this weekend and having a slime drenched flap cover your nostrils made my breathing even more troublesome, and yes it flapped while I breathed.

Every time I have these things on I end up scaring the cats like hannibal.  But ovey, I needed the moisture.

and no, there isn't an extra lamp lit for this face to have gotten this bright. it kinda did work.

Likes:

• At least 70% snail slime
• Gel type consistency of the drench so I wasn't dripping
• Cooling effect
• My skin absorbed it like nobody's business
• I didn't need to wipe any product off after I removed it.
• No harsh skin reaction
• Quite brightening on my skin, if I do say so myself
• Scent is ok

Dislikes:

• I don't get the triple layer of paper, the plastic, then paper.
• The price-but then all snail products are pricey.

Will I repurchase, yep, specially on sickly, breakouts, tension-filled days like these.

That's all for now folks!
