Review: Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner

Hi everyone!

Today, I will be giving a review about....

1. Neutrogena Alcohol-free toner!

          I've been using this toner for almost 5 months. Yes, F-I-V-E  M-O-N-T-H-S! I am actually a fan of this brand because of the promising effects that they offer! :)

                                                       The story of us... yaaaaay! :)))

           Few months ago, I went to SM North EDSA to go shopping together with my fambam. As I was strolling around, I saw my favorite shop, WATSONS! Yaaay! :)) I think, all your necessities can be found there that's why whenever I go shopping, I see to it that I'll go visit their store. :)) So yeah, as I was looking around  to see if there's something I want to buy there, I saw different products of Neutrogena. I was actually worried about my skin because I had skin asthma that's why I was afraid to use any product without consulting my dermatologist first, because I was advised to use only "Cetaphil" for my skin care (I will also be giving a review about it later. yaay!) .
           Anyway, that's the reason why I chose the Alcohol-free toner of Neutrogena although I was kinda scared to try it. :)) BUT because of my stubbornness, I decided to buy it together with my  Neutrogena facial wash.  So yeah, that was the beginning of us. LOL :)))

~~~REVIEW.. REVIEW.. REVIEW~~~

         Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner cost 279 pesos! :)

         " Neutrogena Alcohol-Free toner is specially formulated to provide clean, refreshing toning without the harsh, drying effects of alcohol. It will not strip your skin of its own natural moisturizers. Specially mild purifiers gently remove impurities and recondition your skin, making it feel fresh, clean and soft."

            -This one is so true!! swear! As what I mentioned earlier, I have a sensitive skin that's why I took the risk in using this product for the benefit of my facial skin. Thus, this product did not upset me in anyway because it is really effective and is very mild. I think, this one is suitable for teenagers and adult who has the same skin type as mine. I am now on my second bottle of it and i think, will go for another 3 and so on.  yaaay to this! :)

[Heeey, i am not affiliated to them, huh?]

               Anyway do not expect that this product will whiten your skin, huh? because I think, this one is only for toning and cleansing.  
 
              I use this everyday! :)

As a whole, I'll rate it 10 out of 10 :)

Review: Etude House Mask sheets


Hi everyone!I bought 3 different Mask sheets at Etude house last October for me to try and see if these products could really dstress me.
These mask sheets cost 58pesos each!


1. Etude House I need you, Aloe Mask sheet

2. Etude House I need you, Red ginseng Mask sheet

3. Etude House I need you, Pomegranate Mask sheet 







~~~REVIEW.. REVIEW.. REVIEW~~~ 



These Facial mask sheet is awesome! yes, awesome! When I used these, my skin became sooo smooth and brighter! swear! :) 

Based on my observation, they only differ in smell and some other specific ingredients they have but has almost the same relaxing result upon using it.  


Directions:

a. Cleanse your face thoroughly using lukewarm water and facial foam (or other facial wash which you like best)
b. Pat dry.
c. Apply the facial mask onto your face. Allow the absorption of nutrients and other vitamins of the facial mask for 20-30 minutes.
d. Remove the facial mask and massage your skin using the excess liquid on your face.


Notes:    

    Upon using this facial mask, you will experience a mint and soothing feeling which for sure, you'll love.   
    Use your desired Etude House facial mask 2-3 times a week for maximum efficacy. 

As a whole, I'll rate these products 9 out of 10

Review: Montagne Jeunesse Mud pac :)



           Aside from the 3 Etude House products that I mentioned earlier, I also bought Montagne Jeunesse's mud pac in Watsons. This product cost 78 pesos/pack. Yes, it's quite expensive for students but this mud puc is good for at least 3 usages that's why I can tell this one worth your bucks. 

Moving on, this mud pac is my favorite because of the mint and refreshing feeling it gives whenever I use it. 

Hey! don't forget that I only use this product once a week for at least 15-20 minutes.:)

Tips:

1.Be sure that you cleansed your hands and face properly before using any products on your face to avoid bacteria. Remember, HYGIENE'S A MUST!
2.Do not over stressed yourself like what I did because you'll be prone to illness.
3.Be sure to have a good sleep! because having a proper hours of sleep will help your skin to look more healthy and alive. :)
4.Never sleep with makeup on.
5.Drink a lot of water.
6.Avoid using someone else's thing as it may cause unnecessary exchange of dirt.
7.Eat healthy.
8.Stay fit.
9. Love life.
10. Always smile! 

 As a whole, I'll rate this product 10 out of 10. :)

A review about Mary Kay products!

Hi everyone!

So today is October 13,2012 (Saturday). I'll be blogging about my upcoming vacation! (yaaaay to that!) (:

this week, I'll be having 4 more exams (Mandarin, Biology, Statistics and Philippine History) before my semestral break starts.Yaaay! I am so excited wohooo! But anyway, before rejoicing, I still need to focus on my studies and review to be able to get my scholarship back next semester! (Oh gosh I am really hoping for that because it will be a big help to my parents!) Well, Let's see.
BUT....

This blog will never be complete without telling you stories about COSMETICS & SKIN CARE PRODUCTS! @.@



 Let me start first to want I've been using lately.

1. Mary Kay 3 3-in-1 CLEANSE for oily skin


A family friend went to our house to introduce this brand. Mom and I were so attracted to it because of the good news we heard from her that's why we decided to order different skin care products. I bought 3 different products and this cleanser are one of those!

 This cleanser cost 950 pesoshttp://www.marykay.com.ph check out their website!

(Heeey I am not affiliated to them! just sharing! LOL (~_~))

So yeah, this one is kinda pricey specially to me because I am still studying and gosh I'm still not working! :)) but of course, for the sake of my beauty remedy, I'll take the risk of spending quite too much! :))

~~~REVIEW.. REVIEW.. REVIEW~~~

When I used this product, I actually thought that this one might give extra incentives and help me to have fairer skin. But, I was wrong. because this product is really not for that! it's just a facial cleanser. -_-
On the other hand, the good thing about this cleanser is that, this one is soooo mild and it gives me refreshing feeling! Aside from that, it is really effective to oily skin! So yeah. That's it. (:

As a whole, I'll rate it 7 out of 10!

2. Mary Kay concealer


 This concealer cost 395 pesos which I also ordered from our family friend.
Anyway, This product have 2 shades (Ivory & Beige) Mine is Ivory. This one is kinda cheaper compared to my other concealers yet this one is still kinda pricey! -_-

~~~REVIEW.. REVIEW.. REVIEW~~~

Concealer is one of my necessity! yes, NECESSITY! LOL because of stress and sleepless nights I often encounter because of school stuffs, this one is my best friend! It helps me to reduce the appearance of my dark circles @.@ and zit! also, I sometimes use this concealer as my foundation because it can be all in one :D

But, I heard that using green or orange concealer will help me hide the appearance of my dark circles more. hmm, I am actually thinking about using that but I don't know where to buy that kind of concealer here in PI. ):

Anyway, back to Mary Kay~! This concealer is nice! In just pea size, you can almost cover your dark spots because of the light color it gives.

To those who wants to buy Mary Kay concealer, I suggest you to know your skin type first. If you are MORENA, use the Beige instead of Ivory. Because the latter will give you brighter color and more or less, you'll have unwanted result. Hence, the decision is still up to you! :)

As a whole, I'll rate it 8 out of 10! :)

The last but not the least for tonight is the...

3. Mary Kay tinted lip balm SPF 15 


This one cost 605pesos. There are actually 2 shades (Apricot and Mango) I originally ordered Apricot but since, it was out-of-stock, i decided to buy the other one. :)

~~~REVIEW.. REVIEW.. REVIEW~~~  
Of all the products I bought, this one is my favorite! It gives me natural look and really protects my lips from UV rays! :)

To all the girls who loves wearing lip balm instead of lipstick, I suggest you to use this one! You'll never regret it. :)

The only thing about it which kinda upset me is that, this lip balm easily melts. Well, I don't know if other lip balm easily melts too. Because my Maybeline lip balm before, did not melt in any way.

I don't know? what about yours?

As a whole I'll rate it 9 out of 10! :)
