winter beauty haul/ gifts for myself :)

Hi Everyone,

I hope your all doing well today I will be just posting a haul, I had meant to post this last month but forgot because I was super busy with family gatherings anyway here what I had picked up.

Ambi fade cream and aveeno undereye cream

Drugstore

Ambi fade cream for oily skin I heard about this product on a magazine article I have a few spots, hyperpigmentation that just won't go away I'm very much interested in trying this out.

Aveeno positvely raidiant eye cream I'm always looking for under eye creams. I don't need one that is very hydrating since I get this little white bumps under my eye. I read an article a few years ago saying that those white bumps are due to very hydrating eye creams. So I stay away from really thick undereye creams but lately I have noticed a lot of undereye circles showing up so it's back to testing again.

Ros argan oil
Karma kreme
Finally I have been wanting to try lush for a long time. I just needed to use up all my sheaterraorganics products. I still love my sheaterra but I wanted to try someting new also I wasn't willing to share my sheaterra organics product with my hubby who is plagued with extremely dry skin. So we went to lush instead and their products work beautifully and keeps my hubby's skin moisturized.

I heard a lot of good things about this brand  from mrdizzybubbles on youtube. She has extremely sensitive skin. I have tried other face mask from skin food unfortunately my skin did not agree with the products. It either caused me to have break outs around the oddest parts of my face like on my inner brows or the product was stung so bad I had to take the mask off and wash out the serum. I'm hoping this masks works out for me.

BB cream trials again I never learn lolz only the second time and so far I have tried the Lioele beyond the solutions BB cream in the small sachets. I sort of like but I couldn't reuse the the samples in the sachet they dried out on me. So Cal weather is extremely dry so I figured why not purchase a bigger sample the 5 ml and try out other BB creams in process.

I've been hearing a lot of good reviews on YouTube about this brand the balm. I've been wanting to try the brand but I didn't need eye shadows nor was I willing to try any of the foundation since I have a bunch. That I like and currently using. My make up routine does need a few items one of them being a good highlighter and a good under eye concealer. That's not too light for me.

Kogao roller regular
I have heard about facial massage but I was never a believer. While in a store called Tokyo I decided to pick this face massage. For $4

Pros:
Comes in a bottle and has a brush applicator.
Brush applicator applies a very thin amount of product
Easy to use
The formula is just right

Cons:
Expensive
Uses rubber latex some people are allergic to latex
Dries very quickly, so you have to work quickly when applying your false lashes

Face care review: Étude house Green tea nose pack

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year!!!
I hope your doing well today, I'm will be reviewing one of the items from my Philippine beauty haul. Like I said in my previous blog I didn't get to shop for local skin care and beauty products. I didn't have a lot of time and a lot of space too. I was close to being overweight with my luggage.

Anyway you guys know I'm always on the look out for good nose strips. This one from the étude house called green tea nose pack. At the stores this can be purchase in singles and in box I don't remember the price when I purchased this in the Philippines but I will look up the top websites for their prices.

packaging



Product Claims:
Easy-to-use nose sheets are formulated with green tea additives that purify pores of deep seated dirt and excess sebum. Powerful adhesive clings tightly on skin, binding whiteheads, blackheads and excess sebum ready to be lifted away to keep nose clear and smooth. Use pore strip 2-3 times per week to minimize pore size and keep pores clear of dirt and debris.
Formulated with green tea additives to remove oil and pore deep sebum


actual product


Product Experience
So it comes in this sachets with a cute cover. I'm sad to say when I opened the package and saw the nose strip I knew it's not going to work well for me. The nose strip is a lot thicker than the nose strips that I prefer. It's easy to peel from the and has a nice color. Upon application I knew it was not going to work for me. The étude green tea nose pack was thick and didn't mold around my nose and cheeks. Some of the product transferred on to my nose as well.

Pros:
Doesn't have any weird smell
Easy to remove
Can be purchased as singles to try the product or a set of 10

Cons:
The product is thick and difficult to apply
The product didn't mold around the contours of my nose and cheeks
The product didn't adhere to certain parts of my nose and cheeks and left product on my face
Availability, there is no etude house store here in the US. You can purchase the product online at ebay, yesstyle etc.

I knew when I saw the actual product that I wasn't going to like it. It just looked like the generic brand of nose strips and it didn't work very for me.
