Swatches: Faceshop Nail Polishes

Hello beautiful folks! You probably noticed that I’ve been pause for my nail collection, so for today, I’m going to share you my latest fave in nail polishes! It was given by my boy-friend, when he had trip in Korea, my male best buddy knew me that I simply love nail polishes. So what’s on my snake skin table? A hunt for some decent, reasonably-priced and good quality nail polishes!

I know it was not easy to list brands which I tried and were disappointed in, so I’m just going to share what I love right now? Okay? Let’s proceed?

The brand is none other than-The Faceshop! Almost half of my digits were under of their brand. It was nice that I could get new and latest from the brand since Korea is just near and one of the countries that has a bilateral trade with our country. So some perks of being in the international bureau, noh!?

Anyhow, here are some of my pasalubong..*eyes sparkle*

So here's my new little babies:)

The Face Shop Nail Polishes

I must say I was surprised when I opened the paper bag; I was utterly wanted to use them because I honestly fancy the colors and try the expectations because it was cheaper than I used on my birthday nails.

So let’s begin with the colors:

first color batch I've tried (apology for low quality pixels)

What I love? Colors are opaque, They are not skimpy like some others I tried, the first coat was thick already but I used two coat for this finish. Prices are super affordable at $2.99 per bottle. It was easy to apply, my nail technician loves it because it quite smooth, but a little bit clumpy.

What I don’t like? The smell and the drying rate. It was stinky smell of chemical and took hours to dry. Its brush was too small and narrow.

Okay will post soon the other two colours that I never used. I doubted in the last color (brown) which shades of my skin are. Don’t you think? Have you tried this palette of polishes?

Happy Birthday Mickey & Minnie Mouse!

November is the month where Hello Kitty celebrates her birthday as well as to Disney's most beloved and iconic characters, Mickey Mouse and her best pal, Minnie Mouse! (Kitty please, don't get mad at me, I haven't yet post my birthday wishes to you last November 1, it's still November, right?) So how's old the mouse-couple in the world? It's November 18, 1928 when Walt Dsiney was released, so happy 85 years old Mickey and Minnie Mouse! Thank you for first inspiring us in your Steamboat Willie. And for inspiring my nephews, nieces and vicarious act of my ultimate girl because as the moment she woke up in the morning, she requested to turn the television in Disney Junior. You are the second best from Hello Kitty extremist.:)

Thursday Thrift: MoringaO2 Malunggay Herbal Therapy Oil!

Everybody was looking for an affordable product that can get together its quality. A product that can ultimately used all over the parts of the body yet it won’t hurt our wallet. Its how we valued money and being practical is not means you are frugal in your wellness. Sometimes we had to save for MORE. Just like MoringaO2 Malunggay Herbal Therapy Oil which I brought last weekend . Who would decline to a product that can be used on all over parts of the body?

Malunggay is popular known for nutritional value as well as a herbal medicine. This herbal oil is a blend of pure malunggay oil, olive oil and sunflower seed oil that may be used on the skin, scalp and hair. Only P99 for 30ml that currently using for almost one week, but still full on the vamp.

This product information sounds interesting that’s why I grab for the chance. I’ve also known that malunggay is a good source of anti-oxidants and minerals that well for the skin. Some studies, that malunggay are the vegetable with many health benefits.

I usually use it on my hands, then rub on my legs then applied to my hair before sleep at night. I can testify that it’s not greasy unlike other oils that I tried. I love the therapeutic smell, in fact I love it than my BodyShop Tea Tree Oil. I feel the effective moisturizer after I woke up in the morning.

It was quiet small, that’s why sometimes I brought it in my office to have resistance to frost. You know how cold our temperature in the workplace. I also like the bottle cap which for me is easy to open. I wish it has a bigger size.

Good thing, if you’re a first timer for this inexpensive brand, there’s a built in instructions on how to use, labeled at the back of the packaging. Overall, I highly recommended the MoringaO2 Malunggay Herbal Oil for those who wants a natural all around oil that will nourished the body. There are other oils like argan, green tea, chili oil (that will I blog soon) but malunggay will definitely gives my parents a try since it affordable and easy to see in the drugstore.

Have you use herbal oil? this one?

When you pray, it play.

Almost to the same week as the news about Typhoon Haiyan or better known to us as "Yolanda". Almost everyone has some desolate our fellow citizens directly hitted by the typhoon. Different organizations have provided assistance, bazaar and other generous artists who greatly in kind to help fellowmen devastated by typhoon.

It was also reported that we also obtained from local to national offices including our trade partner countries (USA, Taiwan and other 21 countries) that stands solidarity to our nation that definitely eased our burdens. 

when you pray, it plays

I may not provided cash, but I wish all the donation box that stalled in our bureau will help. And as everybody was busy in giving relief goods and medicines for them, I wish the allotted money was contributed fairly and justifiable.

Above all, we still thank God for endless hearings to combat this obstacle. I do believe that Praying is still the key to have resilience after this kind of grieve. Our almighty God will continue to guide us and hoping for that no such accidents that will happen in our country. (Bangon Pilipinas!) Establishing the Philippines!

On Try: New Skincare Additions!

This month, I tried few new brands to my skincare routine. I’m not obsessed with these things but I am a woman.*winks* I’ve been using many brands just to decide what would definitely appreciate with my skin. I am battling with the ideas if its fine for skin but expensive or affordable but couldn’t works.

I am now looking for an eye products that will eliminate my dark circles, as I used calamansi (literally & figuratively!) finally beats me, feeling tired of slicing it and swiping it under my gloomy eyes. This Faceshop Raspberry looked a decent option, I am not young and I need products that may help my skin from aging. Each month I aim to look for something that can provide a healthy glow.

Raspberry Roots Sleeping Mask has a mixture to promote collagen and from the Himalayan which is rich in anti-oxidants so I wanted to try it out. I love how it really smells a raspberry fruit, to think that it has a good source of Vitamin C- intends for several collagen synthesis. I’m not crazy with the ingredients on this, but I like the Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract which reminds me of a natural product, which I‘m also using for spa, will make a post about it. Going back, this gel texture form is not greasy, so it was really intended for sleeping on it the following morning.Even though, I have oily skin, this mask is a quite thin texture so it really feels lightweight. No wonder it’s good for all skin types as its hydrating without feeling greasy.

To use: Spread over face and avoid the lips and eyes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water after you wake up in the morning and feel the porcelain smooth skin.

Raspberry Roots Depuffing Eye Gel is aim to de-puff and soothe swollen eyes. I don’t have any eye bags but I still use it because like what Raspberry Roots intends is to lift and to refresh. I love how the cooling effect after you spread around the eyes. I am not familiar with some of ingredients but few of the ingredients listed like glycerin is not intimidating to use because it was totally a colorless and odorless liquid that widely use in pharmaceutical formulations.

To use: Gently dab onto the upper and lower eyelids. Can be reapplied throughout the day.

Raspberry Roots Collagen Eye Patch- this is my favorite among the set. I love how cool the effect when you applied under each eye. I can feel the patch getting thinner and it evaporated? Absorbed maybe? My under eye was really feel moisturized and more tight as I have lines that invisible.

To use: Use it at PM, Remove the clear film from both sides of the patches and applied under each eye for 30-40 minutes. Remove and Discard.

Luckily, my skin seems to like these set, It could be pricey but I love how my skin attached to them.

Over all, The Raspberry Roots Special Set aims to lifts, tightens ores, and re-contours skin that lacks resilience.

So what are you favorite skincare products? Share your thoughts below:)
