10 Must-Try K-Beauty Skincare Products for Moms This Christmas (All Available on YesStyle!)

Wednesday, September 25

Hey there, fellow moms! With Christmas just around the corner, I’ve been looking for some K-beauty skincare goodies to help my skin glow during the holiday season, and I found some real gems on YesStyle.com that I just have to share with you all. As the weather gets colder, I’m all about products that bring hydration, nourishment, and some serious self-care vibes. Here’s my list of must-try products that will leave your skin feeling soft, radiant, and ready to take on the festive season!

So now, let's head on to the items I loved!




1. Cosrx Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream PH₱ 842.16

Okay, first off, let’s talk about snail mucin. Yes, it sounds a little strange, but trust me, this Cosrx Snail Cream is like magic in a jar! It’s super lightweight yet so hydrating, and it leaves my skin feeling baby-soft. Perfect for when the weather gets colder and my skin needs extra love.



2. Innisfree Jeju Orchid Enriched Cream  PH₱ 1,458.34


I’m absolutely loving this cream! It’s packed with orchid extracts, which are amazing for anti-aging. If you’re like me and need all the hydration you can get (hello, mom life!), this cream does wonders. Plus, it smells so fresh!



3. Neogen Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence   PH₱ 2,000


This essence is one of those products that makes you feel like you’ve done a full skincare routine in just one step. It’s packed with fermented goodies that brighten and hydrate your skin. I love how plump and glowy my skin looks after using this.



4. Etude House SoonJung pH 5.5 Relief Toner


For those days when my skin feels irritated or dry (which happens a lot during the colder months), this toner is my go-to. It’s super gentle and calms everything down, plus it’s perfect for sensitive skin.


5. Purito Centella Green Level Buffet Serum

If your skin needs some serious repair, this serum is for you. It has centella asiatica, which is great for soothing and healing the skin. After just a few uses, my skin felt more hydrated and smooth. It’s like a little spa treatment in a bottle!


6. Dear, Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream PH₱ 1,550.98


This moisturizer is like wrapping your face in a cozy blanket. It’s thick but not greasy, and it hydrates deeply without feeling too heavy. It’s perfect for those chilly winter nights when your skin needs a little extra TLC.



7. Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Essence

I’m all about hydration, and this essence delivers! It’s packed with hyaluronic acid, which keeps your skin super hydrated and plump. If your skin feels dry or tight, this will be your best friend.




8. Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Ampoule 5X PH₱ 1,480.10

Okay, so this one is like an anti-aging powerhouse. I’ve been using it at night, and I swear I wake up with my skin looking brighter and more even-toned. It’s one of those products that makes you feel like you’re doing something really good for your skin.



9. I’m From Mugwort Essence

If your skin is feeling stressed out (hello, mom life!), this mugwort essence is a lifesaver. It’s super soothing and helps calm down any redness or irritation. I’ve noticed my skin looks way healthier after using this.

10. SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner PH₱ 1,108.84


I was skeptical about this one at first, but it’s been amazing for keeping my skin clear and smooth. It’s an exfoliating toner that gets rid of dead skin cells without being harsh. I’ve been using it a few times a week, and my skin is looking so much brighter!




I know how busy life can get, especially as moms, but these products have been game-changers for me. They’re all available on YesStyle and have and hoped you can also try them.

If you want to refresh your skincare routine for the holidays, I can’t recommend these enough!

Let me know if you try any of these and how they work for you!

Collagen Lotion Thing

Tuesday, October 11


Hi Loves!

Time for another skin care review and this time it is this lotion I have been using lately. The Annecy Collagen Lotion which by the way was given to me by my cousin last June. You might be asking what is Collagen and what I think about this product. 

As for us women and moms like me who are in their 30s, it is important to take care of ourselves most especially our Skin. Self Care is very crucial and important for women and moms who are busy handling many things and wearing many hats may it be at the workplace or at home. 

Skin Care has been my priority when it comes to beauty and health as it is the first thing that people notice. I admit I don't have the perfect porcelain skin. I have also noticed that my body is so much more inclined in the masculine side more than the feminine side. Yes, I am a Type 3 woman and most woman who fall on that type mostly don't have perfect flawless skin. So much of that, you may read more of my body type on this post here >> Dressing my Truth

Collagen is essential for our health and appearance. This protein is also necessary to reduce the typical signs of aging. Collagen is also an important building block for elasticity and it's ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

What I love about this Lotion is that it also contains Hyaluronic Acid, a moisturizing agent that is endowed with 500x moisture restoring and retaining capacity. I was surprised too that it has Sunflower Oil, Wheatgerm Oil and Trehalose - a killer combination that enhances skin moisture retention capacity and achieves antioxidative effect perfectly. 
Here is the current photo of the bottle and I am almost 3/4 usage.
The bottle is almost empty. 

Overall, I love this product so much. I love the packaging and it is really moisturizing. I highly recommend this lotion. You may also check the website of Annecy Cosmetics or follow them on instagram Annecy Cosmetics.

Reviews: Blossom Korea Highlighter

Friday, December 6

 

Blossom Cosmetics Highlighter 
Highlighter is a product that can completely change your beauty look. If applied correctly, it gives you that glowing look where people can't place what's different, just that you look amazing. When you’re choosing a highlighter you have to think about your skin tone; if you have very sallow skin, pink toned highlighters are going to stick out, but if you have very pale skin pink tones are perfect. The goal when applying highlighter is to get a reflective dewy look that makes you look like you just moisturized your skin. You don’t want to be shiny or glittery, so try some on the back of your hand when you’re at the store and blend well. If the product gives your skin a slight sheen you’ve got it right, if you look covered in glitter or sickly, try again. source: TFS
 
The back part of the product packaging with the directions. Below are some swatches!
 
A video of Ana Victorino tutorial using the product.
 

Verdict: Love - i love that it is just so affordable and that you can use it for the face to give that instant glow.
the product sits on very well on the face and can be worn for longer periods. perfect for parties and events.


Have you tried this product too?

Review + Swatch: Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick (Rose Lipstick) and Holiday Collection make up palette

Friday, June 21


A Review on the products I got from AVON last year December 2012.
This post was sitting on my drafts for quite some time already. And here, finally I am posting them on my blog .This is a scheduled post by the way =)

I bought these items at my own expenses solely for review and have not been paid for by AVON.
So, Let's get started! ............


*sorry for the poor image quality. i am using my samsung camera. the old model. I hope to get a much better camera in the future though.. Wink! =)




The packaging:

  What I love about it is that it comes in a dainty and clear cover so you can actually see the colors (eyeshadows and blush inside). It also comes with an applicator and a blusher brush. 
What I don't Like: it has no mirror into it. So you have to use a separate mirror for you to view your eyes/face in every application. It is quite big and bulky to fit in my travel kikay kit. You might need a larger kit to store it. And also, the product can get shattered easily if you drop it so it takes extra care in handling it.

The Swatch:
It is not so clear here in the photo but the colors are really great. Perfect for blending. =) I love it.

(from L-R: royal celebration rose, rosabella rose and carmen rose)

I hope I can post a look using these products here on my blog.
have you tried these products as well?

LOTD (Lipstick of the Day): Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Love That Red

Thursday, May 23









I have been using Ever Bilena Lipsticks for a month now. The matte lipsticks have really got me hooked since the day I heard the matte lipstick line.
Image
Ever since I got into the world of beauty blogging, I wanted to try out some really good products out there in the market. I am in search for affordable ones but one that does not put it off quality wise.


i love matte lipsticks, if you haven’t noticed i am into matte lipsticks lately since i have oily skin and putting it on does not add on the shine i have on my face. Lol :-D .
good thing i found ever bilena in love that red. it is the my go to lippie for those stressful days and moments in the office.
here is a closer look at the product:



what i like:
  • affordable (for only 155 pesos)
  • good color pay off for a matte lipstick (really red)
  • easy to apply and glide on the lips
what i don’t like:
  • packaging (aesthetically wise not so girly looking) :-D
  • dries off easily :-(
  • does not last long you may need to reapply
  • blots, stains on my coffee mug used in the office
My over all rating: 3 out 5
so far i am loving this lipstick. it transforms my look with just one application without being too quirky. =)
you may grab one at the stores near you or you may visit Ever Bilena on facebook and like their facebook page for their product updates and promos.
how about you? have you tried this lipstick too?

For the longest time, I can finally post my swatch on the Smashbox Style Files eyeshadow that I got recently from my fellow blogger Milna of MilnaMania. I got this as a prize for being the Commenter of the Month on her MOM (Milnamania of the Month) for JANUARY. =) Thank you Milna!

So down to the item, I got which I find a great addition to my eyeshadows collection. I've been loving eye makep lately.

The SHADOWS: It comes with a Mirror, which I like about it since I could easily see the colors on every application. The box contains matte, shimmer eye shadows.

I use Shadow #3 and #4 for the smokey eye look. It just goes perfectly. =)



The Swatch:

What I Like:
  • Feels light on the skin
  • Stays on for a long time.
  • Rich colors, just little product and can give that glamour in the eye.
  • Blend-able colors.

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL (Music Review)

Friday, January 4

Hi Lovelies!

How's your day today?
I am so excited to be able to read my mail today. I got an email from Danika Holmes. She is a Singer/Songwriter from Nashville, TN. She asked me to do a music review for her song "How to be Beautiful" and I was so inspired by the music and lyrics of hers.


Danika is also giving away the song for free in her site www.danikaholmes.com. You might want to check it out too!


The song really revolves about how inner beauty is what is all that matters above all.
How each one of us exudes our own beauty regardless of age, race, color.
We ought to be beautiful inside and out.



By the way, here is the video. Hope you love the message on it as much as i did. =)

Review: Onyx Tri Lipgloss by AVON

Friday, November 23

Hi my beautiful readers!

I am back to show you my cool lip gloss purchase at AVON. By the way, for those of you who doesn't know it yet, I am a branch franchise dealer here in Mandaue City, Cebu. I came to the branch to pay out for my overdue make up purchases last October, I was afraid they would eventually sue me if I didn't pay them. 

But, yeah I know myself, I can't resist make up!
Everytime I go there, I found myself praying to not go impulse buying or else --  I might get stuck such wild habit. =( I keep asking myself, do I really need this? My oh my, I might as well blog about it right?

Anyways, today I got this Tri lip gloss in Wine Luster. I got really attracted by the color of this lipgloss, the reason of me pulling it out and straight to the counter. Bought it for PHP189. For me this product is perfect for morena skin tones, like mine. =) Below is the image as you can see it's color is similar to that of the grapes. Isn't it?

REVIEW: I need you Facial Mask in Pearl Extract

Tuesday, November 20

As promised about my haul at Etude House, I am doing this review on their best selling mask in "Pearl Extract". See my post here.

I am not really a fan of facial masks, I only just simply cleanse my face with water and my favorite facial soap and then wipe some cleanser available commercially and then that's about it.

I was just curious about it, watching it on TV programs, ads and other beauty blogs made me wanna get my hands on this products.

Animal Print Make Up Brushes

Thursday, November 15


Hi ladies!

How is your day today?
Mines going good and well.

I have been into animal prints lately. I just love how it turns everything out into fierceness 
as a woman would try to wear them.

As for my opinion, it brings out that strong character in a woman. From wearing animal printed dress, 
blouse, even animal printed shoes and bags!

It has been a trend this days and has been over the decades human race started to wear fur clothes and the day animals skin was in to protect us from the harsh weather.

As for me, I just love it. I love its design.

One way to show how my addiction to animal prints is this make up brush I saw in a Bodega Store just nearby our place.




A closer look.......... Well, it's not really that expensive for P70.00, why not?



I love the print on it. =)
I love the brushes too......... I've used them and so far they're just good enough.
Even though it's not a branded brush but still it is useful for me. It's an additional to my make up kit! 

How bout you?
What is an addition to your make up kit as of this moment?

Facial Care Haul: Etude House

Review: Sweet Honesty by AVON

Friday, July 6

i just started loving this scent. Ever since I became pregnant to my first child i've been easily irritated with perfumes and scents but this one didn't fail me. I used it in the office, the rollete really do come in handy. read on for my review on this product.

Sweet Honesty - The scent of breathtaking innocence.
PROS: Has that light and soft fragrance perfect for everyday wear esp for teenagers and grown up women as well.
CONS:NONE
I have witnessed Sweet Honesty since my childhood days and how the scent for over the years has not changed at all. It has been one of my favorite ever since. When I joined AVON, I was glad that the new dealer’s kit came with the Sweet Honesty perfume (comes with the spray and the purse concentre).
Avon calls these scent a floral heart blooming with Honey, Citrus and Vanilla. It’s scent never goes out of time and trend.
INGREDIENTS:
SD Alcohol 40-B, Fragrance, Benzophenone-2
NOTES:
This is a mild, light fragrance that reminds me of ivory soap and baby powder with just a slight touch of musk like woodiness. The smell almost reminds me of a freshly bathed newborn baby. Fresh and clean and innocent. 

 Sweet Honesty is a signature Avon fragrance, one that has been around since at least the early 70’s. 

 The cologne is available in a 1.7 ounce spray bottle for PHP399, but occasionally Avon offers Sweet Honesty in the slim purse sized roll-on bottles, which Avon refers to as “rollettes”. Which also comes in handy and cheaper for only PHP99. The bottles hold a very light colored perfume, with a pink cap and Sweet Honesty written in bold pink letters. 

 This is a cologne, not a perfume, but yet it still lingers for several hours without having to reapply. 

 This is definitely a feminine scent that is unobtrusive, and works well for a young girl. When I sold Avon, I never had any women order Sweet Honesty for themselves, (it was always for their daughters). Likewise, I feel it’s a bit too inexpensive smelling for my tastes, but it’s a perfect first perfume to introduce a young girl to the world of fragrance. 

 Avon also sells Sweet Honesty in matching: 

 * Anti perspirant deodorant 
* Shimmering body powder 
* Perfumed skin softener 
RECOMMENDED: Yes
Would you love to order one?
