Empties #1: June 2015

Hey pretties! Here's another series for my blog and it's called "Empties". In this series, I'll feature products that I have used up or emptied lately (usually within a month) so you can follow what I have been using. There are products that I won't be able to review here in my blog so if you see it on my empties post, it means I'm lovin' it plus a quick review! Empties are posted at the end of the month but forgive me, this one is a bit late. ;)

Image source: Freedigitalphotos.net

Dear Sun,

We seem to have a love/hate relationship. I love you, and you hate me. Maybe we should seek counseling? 

Sincerely, my skin.

Hey gorgeous! I miss you! Yes YOU! ;) Did you miss me? Well I hope so. But no worries, I'm so back! It's been what.. a year? Wow, I now just realize that I took vacation,away from my blog,seriously. I'm such a bad blogger. *face palm*

Anyway, here I am with a come back post and a new blog series which is "All About Summer". As you all know, summer has already started for most places, especially here in Philippines. So from the month of April to June, I'm going to post summer related posts like skincare tips, summer must haves and even summer recipes! So watch out for that! (I would still keep blogging other stuff) *wink*

Of course, what better way to start off this new series than a "How to Prep your Skin for Summer" post? 

Alrighty, let's get started!

Used Abused & Reviewed: Royale Beauty Kojic Papaya Soap

Hey PL pretties! Last month, I got two soaps from a well-established company - Royale Beauty! In this post, I will share my thoughts on one of their popular soap - the Royale Beauty Kojic Papaya soap! Keep reading to know how this soap fared on my skin!

Royale Beauty Kojic Papaya Soap

Php180/130g

Moisturizes and lightens the skin, has mild peeling effect!

When it comes to "beauty" soaps, I always have two things in mind: lightening effect and moisturizing power. I'm not into anti-aging soaps...FOR NOW..oooh scary! :D Anyway, these two doesn't come in equal part in one soap. Sometimes a soap gives a superb hydration power but doesn't really lightens your skin. Take for example, the Moringa 02 Malunggay Herbal soap that I reviewed HERE. Or sometimes, a product whitens but lacks the hydration power. It's considerable though. There's no such thing as perfect product and if there is, it only means it's EXPENSIVE. Not on our budget. Do you agree Pinays? Alright, my point? Well, I have found that two components in this soap.Yep! But wait, don't give yourself too much expectations though.tehee..

Used Abused & Reviewed: Physiogel Hypo-Allergenic Intensive Cream

Anyway, here in my online journal, I want to start September with a skincare review. Well, we all want that radiant and healthy-looking skin when holiday hits us right? And that's what I want to focus this coming months. I want to post more Skincare tips and DIYs for your guys. Of course, my cosmetic reviews will still be up every now and then. Alright, on to the review!

Used Abused & Reviewed: Moringa O2 Malunggay Herbal Soap

Hello there "PL Pretties"! :) Here's another product review for this week! :D 

I've always been a fan of anything organic. Be it in cosmetics,skincare or food! :) One of nature's gift that I really believe in, is the ever famous Moringa or Malunggay. So when I saw a complete line of Moringa O2's products available for sampling at Sample Room, I immediately head on, grabbed the samples and went directly to checkout. Unfortunately, I was not able to acquire their toner but I'm actually alright with it because at that time, CURE was restocked and I was one of the lucky few to have grabbed a sample. It was a beauty steal! Plus, I can buy the toner anytime now that I'm a also believer of this brand. BTdubs (by the way), I have reviewed Moringa 02's Herbal Moisturizing Lotion  and you can read it HERE. You can also read Sample Room Loot #4 for further details- click HERE.

Alright, on to the review!

Problems with Oily Face? No Problem!

If you have a face that gets oily all the time, you need to take good care of your skin. Oily skin is hard to take proper care of because that whole area is like a time-bomb, just waiting to burst and make you look sweaty and greasy then your face becomes ideal place for blemishes and clogged pores. Bacteria reproduce like crazy therefore persons with oily skin often have problems with acne, which can be unpleasant to the eye of the beholder but the bigger problem is that they hurt!

The oiliness of your skin is the result of overactive glands that produce sebum. Since you cannot control your glands, you might as well learn how to take care of oily skin.

Used Abused & Reviewed: Moringa O2 Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion

Here's another review for you guys! ;) This time, I'll be sharing my experience on one of the items in my last Sample Room Loot! :)

Introducing, Moringa O2 Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion!

As I have mentioned on my Sample Room Loot #4 post, I'm a sucker for lotions! So when I saw this on Sample Room, I immediately added it into my cart. Plus it's an organic/natural product! I wouldn't really pass on this one.

Celeteque Dermoscience Skin Relief After-sun Gel from the Sun Care Line

Hey everyone! :) Summer was a bliss for me. I get to enjoy it with the ones I love without suffering too much from the scorching heat of the sun. Although I lather on the best sunscreen I have, I'm still not exempted with the so called "sunburn". ayayay! When you say SUMMER, you can say 'Philippines'.lol. But the good news is, I have something to combat those hot burning sensation on my skin after enjoying activities under the unforgiving sun. ;D Know what it is?

*drum rolls* please!

Maybelline Clear Smooth 8-IN-1 Skin Transformer B.B Cream SPF 26 PA+++

Hey everyone! :) Imma share with you guys this second BB cream that I've tried..EVER (First BB cream review HERE). You know, I wasn't really into makeup before. I like hoarding them (lol) but I don't use them as frequently as I do now. I'm really scared in putting any cosmetics in my face because I always think that it may cause break outs (like crazy breakouts!) and I don't like that. But as I grow older (yes I admit that I grow old!beat it!), I learn to try things differently like going out with makeup on or at least put on some lipstick & blush. :D I usually go out bare faced but now, I like putting on a little color in my face. It makes me feel..more of a lady..hee..And because I decided to be a beauty blogger, it gives me a perfect excuse to try different products, to learn how to apply 'em and of course to share my experience to my gorgeous readers. So really..I'm not just helping my readers but I'm helping myself as well. As I follow & read other blogs, I realized that I still have so much to learn but I'm ready for it! So fingers crossed for many many years! ;D

Alright, onto my review. Sorry about that. ;)

5 Beauty Products that Every Woman Should Own

Photo source: Getty Images

Beauty department/counter is my favorite part of any supermarket. I'm like a kid in a candy store. I swear, my eyes sparkle whenever I'm in 'that' area. I just love seeing tons of products in different colors, different sizes and in different brands. But this is also my partner's most hated place because I tend to drain our card afterwards. LOL..Yes Guilty as charged! I'm a "makeupholic"?beauty&skincare products hoarder? I don't know how you call that but yeah you can put it that way. I'm addicted to anything beauty related! But that doesn't mean I don't know how to separate good apples to bad apples. no no no! ;)  But because I'm too busy scanning some good products, trying new items here and there, I tend to forget the most "important" ones. These "important" products are a beauty-must haves that every woman should own. And if you don't have it, then you're missing out girlfriend! ;D
