Summer is right around the corner and I’m so stoked to blog for my summer outfit! Who says sleeves like this are a little too chic? I know it can be intimidating because the sleeves of this off-shoulder top are way too puffy but hey, don’t be confounded by stares if you feel ravishing as long as it is congenial to the place. Nevertheless, to make it casual and wearable, I paired it with light blue jeans and brown boots for a touch of color.

What To Wear In This Bipolar Weather

Bomber Jacket: @branche.ph | Shoes: Adidas | Bag: Kimbel | Watch: Nine West | Necklace: Forever 21 | Rings: H&M | Lip Cream: @sooperbeaute

The ever so bipolar weather in the Philippines has inspired me again. The usual tropical state will then turn into a dim cluster of clouds with a little bit of drizzle and so I decided to wear this pink & white reversible satin bomber with a printed romper (which I stole from my sister’s closet) and classic Adidas Superstars so I can catch my niece and nephew when they run around the mall. For a more girly look, I decided to wear my red Kimbel bag, maroon Nine West watch, 2 rings from H&M and a three-layered necklace from Forever 21. This outfit is definitely a yes when you’re on the go in this kind of weather.

Thank you Shades Cream Hair Dye for my hair color!

Shirt: Berry Cool Shoppe  | Bag: Parisian | Shoes: Vans | Headband: SM Accessories | Watch: Nine West

This month, I’ve been totally into cute stuff such as this oversized Teddy shirt from my all time favorite Instagram shop, @_bcs.ph and this cute ribbon headband from SM which kinda reminds me of the barber shop everytime I look at it, I mean look at the prints! LOL. If you’ll ask me, this pair is my go-to! Plus, I’m also wearing my go-to makeup which I’ll be teaching you guys soon on my Youtube channel.

Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask

Processed with VSCO with q10 preset

I really really really love wash off masks, although I can’t say the same for peel off masks since I never had or even tried one but they say it’s really satisfying. This year, it seemed like everyone was so hyped about the Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask and it’s all over Youtube so when the company emailed me for a collaboration, I was really enthusiastic about it. Actually they sent me three items, the other two are the Elizavecca Glutinous Mask 80% Snail Cream and the Elizavecca Gold GF Nest White Bomb Eye cream (now, that’s a very long and unique name). I have yet to make another blog post about these two and insert the link here once they’re done. So without further ado, let’s move on to the Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask.

The packaging looks like a normal clay mask and even though it’s made up of plastic it doesn’t look cheap at all and of course, who can ignore that cute packaging?! Of course it’s cute, it’s from South Korea! The only thing that I noticed is that it doesn’t have an English Translation but that doesn’t affect me that much since they told me that it is made up of pure natural ingredients and my skin isn’t sensitive so that’s fine.

Oh by the way, for those of you who are not familiar with this brand, it’s a new successful brand from South Korea. Click here if you want to check their website for other skin care products.

I can say that this mask is really hygienic because they provide a spatula and a cover before you can get to the mask itself.

Processed with VSCO with q10 presetProcessed with VSCO with q10 preset

When you remove the cover, it looks like this. Remember to close the mask pack as fast as you can because it bubbles up quickly and if it does that then you can’t really use it again.

Processed with VSCO with q10 presetProcessed with VSCO with q10 preset

This Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask has a lot of benefits, mainly:

  • pore cleansing
  • removes sebum
  • removes impurities
  • makes your skin moist and healthy

HOW TO APPLY:

  • Use the provided spatula to apply all your face, avoiding the sensitive eye area.
  • Remember, the recommended time for using this mask is only 5 Minutes. That’ll be enough time for the mask to bubble.
  • After 5 minutes, massage your face for 1-2 minutes.
  • Then rinse off with lukewarm water.

My overall thoughts:

  • I absolutely love how it feels after I rinse it off. My skin feels smooth and clean but unlike other masks, this one cleans but still manages to make my skin moist.
  • It has a soft scent of soap. I personally do not like products with harsh smell so I really recommend this product because it smells satisfying, really!
  • It is not time consuming. You only need at least 7 minutes to wait for this mask to do it’s charm and for busy girls (and boys), this is really a yes!
  • It’s actually fun to do with your best friend or siblings just because it bubbles up and makes you look like a golem. Honestly, I think doing this kind of stuff with someone dearest to you will make it even more fun and memorable.
  • A little goes a long way. You don’t need to use a lot of product so this is actually thrifty.
  • It feels cold and refreshing after you rinse it off. Definately a must-try during dull and tiring days to give you a soft soothing relief.

I am #SMWoman!

Summer is over and sunny afternoons like this are rare so I took the chance and had my photos taken in the streets of Makati City before heading to the #IAmSMWoman event last Tuesday. It was traffic on the other lane and I bet the drivers and the passengers are laughing at me. I mean, how often do you see someone strike a pose and take pictures in a public place? We always see someone taking selfies and/or pictures on their mobile phones but I’m using a DSLR camera (on a sidewalk, if I may add) so I guess it is uncommon. Oh well, it took only 5 minutes for me and my sister to have a decent shot because after this I swear we ran as fast as we could because we’re late for the “I AM SM WOMAN EVENT” which is the most important thing at the moment other than taking pictures outside. When we got to the event, I registered my name and other details and they gave me an envelope with Gift Certificates which I’ll use for more shopping (yay!) at the GTW by SM and SM Woman brand. The event was really fun! There was a DJ and the Host was really jolly and excited as we all are. I met other bloggers and we joined a Styling Competition. Afterwards, the fashion show with the new styles and designs by SM were showcased. Overall, the event was a great experience for me since I’ll be going back to school and won’t be attending events for a while.

I’d like to have this opportunity to thank my Clozette family for the invitation and of course, SM Woman and GTW By SM for always inspiring me in this fashion world.

By the way, did you notice I changed my Chuck Taylor’s Converse to H&M’s ankle high boots? That’s me before and after events!

Hey everyone! I bet you’re all waiting for the swatches and mini review of Sooper Beaute’s products. This won’t be a full face review because i’ll be focusing on their lip and cheek products. Their foundation and Contouring Kit will be on a different blog post so without further ado, let’s start!

I want to mention that these pictures are not edited. I want my readers to see the real color of the products but please note that the colors may vary depending on the light.

I have two Cheek Balms right here and to be honest, this is my first Cheek “Balm”. Haha! I personally like cheek tints and cream blushes instead of powdered blushes so when I found out about these, I was really excited to try them on!

IMG_7570

Bella is a peachy pink color while Tala is a fuchsia pink flush. To sum it all up, here’s what I think:

  • The color payoff is really good.
  • Blends well.
  • Moisturizing.
  • Not sticky.
  • Looks like you’re blushing naturally.
  • Sets well on skin.
  • Long lasting.
  • Doesn’t have a strong smell.

IMG_7581

When I took this picture, both lip balms are sealed. In fact, all of the products from Sooper Beaute are sealed so 2 thumbs up for that! The Tint Kiss Balm in Kiss Me is a purple-pink kind of color and smells like that Bubble Gum with tattoos, comics or stickers when we were kids. Who else remembers that bubble gum? I don’t think they still sell those. The Tinte Kiss Balm in Makeout is a deep red color. If you’re looking for a lip balm with color, this is THE ONE! They’re really pigmented. It gives off a very good color plus it’s a lip balm so it’s moisturizing. I think this is very good and looks natural.

IMG_7583

  • The color payoff is really good.
  • Blends well.
  • Moisturizing.
  • Doesn’t have a strong smell.
  • I think it looks good for school.
  • Very pigmented. (a little goes a long way)

IMG_7571

Now, the lip and cheek therapies!!! Yaaaay! The lip and cheek therapy line are matte and very pigmented. I mean, you don’t need to apply a second layer for the color to pop up.

Top – Bottom

  • Aquarius
  • Polaris
  • Astra
  • Zodiac
  • Galaxy
  • Canopus

While the lip and cheek lacquer line is glossy and comes in three different shades.

Cellnique Paramedical Express Kit: No More Blackheads

Processed with VSCO with hb1 preset

I’m very excited to tell you guys about this product from Cellnique Paramedical. It’s my first ever serum and mask so let’s start!

Advanced Bio Renewal Masque

Processed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 preset

This unparalleled clay mask is formulated with bio-captured fresh fruit enzymes and acids complex. ADVANCED BIO RENEWAL MASQUE works effectively in exfoliating dead cells, optimizing cellular renewal performance and deep pore cleansing, thus revealing a softer, fresher and healthier skin.

For all skin types and all ages.

Benefits:

• Exfoliates dead skin cells and deep pore cleansing
• Optimizes cell renewal performance
• Slows down aging process
• Instant lightening, brightening and whitening effects

First of all, I super-duper loooove the smell of this “scrub-mask”. It smells like the seaside and tropical fruits.

After using this product for 2 weeks, I can say that I’m really impressed! You can see in the video above how to use this mask. I was advised to wait for 3-5 minutes before rinsing it off so I followed that procedure. The second time I used it though I left it on for about 10 minutes and it still feels great. Maybe next time I’ll try it longer because other bloggers did so.

While you have it on, you can feel like it’s firming your face. It’s not itchy or irritating, actually it feels very soothing. I think this is perfect after work or school or before bedtime because it’s so relaxing.

After washing it the first time I used it I already saw promising effects. My skin feels soft, smooth and looks brighter. The claims above are real and I experienced it myself. I totally love it! I’m advising everyone to go check out Cellnique Paramedical for any skin problems.

 

Skin Action Sebum Gel

Processed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 presetProcessed with VSCO with hb1 preset

The best skincare option for Blackhead Removal also known as Blackhead Remover and Reduces Whiteheads, better than Blackhead Strips, Blackhead Mask or Blackhead Scrub. Prevents blackheads on nose.

30 ml

SKIN ACTION SEBUM GEL is a phyto bio-engineering formulation gel for all skin types to reduce both blackheads and whiteheads on affected skin area without painful extraction. This daily maintenance gel also reduces oil secretion, leaving the skin clear and producing smooth visible results within 10 days of application.

Best for congested skin and oily T-zone, teenagers and adults.

Benefits:

• Controls excessive sebum
• Reduces the formation of blackheads and whiteheads
• Reduces skin inflammatory
• Controls and prevents breakouts
• Increases skin moisturize and improves skin elasticity
• Anti-irritation

 

I think it’s worth it for its price because you only need a really small amount for your face. It also has a fresh scent just like after taking a bath. I apply this serum twice a day, morning and evening. At the first few seconds it feels a little hot but it subsides and eventually feels good and refreshing like ice. I love it but let me know if you also had this experience. I like that it doesn’t feel sticky and it quickly absorbs into your skin.

You can also apply it before makeup. I think it makes my face smooth before applying make-up. At night I use it after I cleanse my face and before any night creams.
