Youtube: Eyebrow Tutorial

Highly requested video is how I
do my brows! Actually, I have a lot of brow styles and techniques
but this is one my fave using a brow gel because it is more defined that
using a pencil, a powder or a brow mascara.

Review: HBC Hortaleza Color Hair Spa

 I really like..as in really really really like to change my hair color asap..
but I can't since my hair is like SUUUUper duper damaged from.
I need my hair to grow faaast so I bought this at HBC because
I need a hair spa for my hair and it caught my eye because not only 
that it's a hair spa but it also has a color.
So I thought it's the closest I can get to change my hair color without
further damaging my hair.

Review: Green Apple Hair Smoothie

Damaged hair from hair coloring?Yes that's my problem.
When they say your hair is your crowning glory
that's definitely right.
I hate that my hair is still dry especially the part where there's
hair color. Before this, I always use Verdon as an alternative to my
conditioner because it smooths my hair.
And now, thankfully from Dollycious Skin Care is this
Green Apple Hair Smoothie

Kilay problem?Check This Out...

Who's a kilay addict here!?**me raises both hands**
yes! Guilty as charged. Ever since I knew makeup and love makeup.
I've been on my rollercoaster on doing my brows and tweezing and creating different
styles of brows that will be appropriate to my face.
I'm no pro and I still struggle to do my brows! Way before, my college friends will do them
and we called it "kilayectomy" (being in a nursing school the suffix -ectomy means surgical removal of a specified part of the body)

Anyway, now, thanks to Benefit newest app, the Benefit Brow Genie
will help you to fix your kilay problem

Youtube: Trinity Bad Blood Collaboration

Hi everyone! Have you watched our Bad Blood Makeup Collaboration!?
I am not a Taylor Swift fan before...but now, I think I'm her new fan.
Ever since, I watched the Bad Blood MV and read that she's a producer
of a star studded music video. I can't imagine her success in life at such a young age.
And on this collaboration, I am "The Trinity" (Hailee Steinfield)

I can't see her makeup actually. I can't determine if she has an
eyeshadow or some sort of other makeup going on there. haha.

How the soap looks like...
Very visible oatmeal ingredients.

Verdict: I am no chemist/scientist that knows all those ingredients,
I am not expert on SKIN also. I'm a skincare addict/enthusiast and love taking care of my skin.
My face micro-exfoliated on my nose and cheeks and chin area and around my shoulders,
elbows and knees. My face somehow got a little irritated that's why I only let the soapsuds stay for a minute and then after that I used the Milky White soap.
But, what I love with its micro-exfoliation is that it removed dead and dry skin cells and
my elbows and knees got lighter because before it was obviously not even.

Milky White Soap
Price: PhP 100.00/150g
 -Contains goat’s milk which helps exfoliate dead skin cells while
retaining smoother and younger looking skin.
It has Lactic Acid which promotes skin whitening and acts as a Natural Anti-aging.

Ingredients:
Enrinched with the best combination of Milk Glutathione, Arbutin, Vitamin E, Shea Butter

How the soap looks like..
-Contains goat’s milk which helps exfoliate dead skin cells while retaining smoother and younger looking skin.
It has Lactic Acid which promotes skin whitening and acts as a Natural Anti-aging.
To Use:
Rub soap on face and whole body for 2-3 minutes then rinse with water. Use everyday for better results.
Ingredients:
Enrinched with the best combination of Milk Gluthathione, Arbutin, Vitamin E, Shea Butter
- See more at: http://mischkadermasecret.com/product/milky-white-soap-2/#sthash.CARvl8D0.dpuf
Plain white that smells like a very sweet milk.
Don't let babies smell or grab this. hihi

It has a soft texture, so I tried pinching it(In an average matter)and look at the
photo below and check out the mark of my thumb.

Verdict: Like the writings above, I used this together with the Oatmeal
And Almond soap to contradict the fast effect of its micro-exfoliation.
Because of the glutathione and arbutin, this soap is great for Whitening and Anti-oxidant.
While the vitamin E and Shea butter are great for moisturizing and smoothing  the skin.

Calamansi With Honey Soap
Price: PhP 100.00/150g
-Contains Lemon Extract that is high amount of Alpha hydroxyl acids
that helps whitens skin and deodorizer.

To Use:
Rub soap on face and whole body for 2-3 minutes then rinse with water. Use everyday for better results.

Ingredients:
Calamansi, Sodium Kernelate, Palm Acid, Glycerin, Lactic Acid

How the soap looks like
Just a plain pale green color

Verdict: The lemon/calamansi extract and honey helps for skin whitening
and not also that, it also has detoxification effect like the "detox water".
It has a rejuvenating effect too. That's why this one is my favorite from all.

Kojic With Placenta Soap
Price: PhP 100.00/150g
-Helps eliminates and reduce freckles, dark spots and pimple blemishes.

Ingredients:
Enrinched with the best combination of Arbutin, Glycerin, Kojic Acid, Placenta.

How the soap looks like
Bright orange in color

Verdict: Helps for skin lightening/whitening though not for a fast pace like the Milky white.
It also increase exfoliation of the skin, it slough off dead skin cells so it's a little irritatin
because it doesn't have a moisturizing effect.

FOR ALL SOAPS
~Perfect aromatherapy
~Affordable for PhP100 each/150g

So my recommendations are...
For dry skin - you can use the milky white and calamansi w/honey soap
For normal skin - you can use any of these soaps
For sensitive and acne prone skin - PLEASE! I do not recommend any because
I don't want to be the cause of an acne breakout. hehe. Please see your doctor first. :)
For Combi type skin(like me) - You can use any of these soaps but at least use two soaps
like what I did.. Oatmeal and almonds + milky white soap
