Top 5 Beauty Essentials I Need (When Going Out of Town)

The worst thing that could probably happen when you’re going out of town is your bottle of makeup remover spilling/leaking everywhere in your bag. That leaves you with NOTHING to remove your makeup with (considering you did not bring a back up, most probably)

This is why I  would suggest you use makeup remover wipes, instead. They come in packs, and you get more than enough to clean your makeup off! The Nivea Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes is perfect for out of town trips (especially places where convenience stores are far away/lack variety of skincare products available) It comes with 25 wipes which is truly more than enough wipes you will need to remove a day’s worth of makeup. I usually use 1-2 wipes and I’m good to go!

Feeling lazy to wash your face? Nothing to worry about! The Nivea Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes will remove all traces of makeup—even waterproof mascara! Leaving you with a fresh feeling on the face, and allowing you to sleep right after without worrying waking up with a pimple.

It is suitable for dry and sensitive skin as it says on the pack, but I really think it’s also perfect for people with combo (ME!) oily skin!

Not only does it cleanse, it also tones and hydrates the skin. I love that it doesn’t have an oily residue, too! Alcohol free, so you don’t have to worry about it stinging your eyes or whatnot.

Never leave for  trip without the Nivea Facial Cleansing Wipes! Get yours now from Watsons for only P140.00 :)

I will never forget my red lipstick. You’ll never know when you’ll need it! Say, for example, an impromptu date night! Every girl needs a red lipstick—even if it’s all that she has on (and brows, of course), it’ll look perfect and made up!

ALL AROUND MOISTURIZER! I love the Nivea Crème because you can put it anywhere—your face, rough spots, skin…etc! It is what I go for when my skin gets dry because of the weather. You need this baby.

You need your eyebrow kit, girl!!! As I mentioned earlier, even if all you got was your brows and red lipstick on, you’d look perfect! Never forget this stuff, unless you are on a makeup fasting!

Eyelash curler! Even if you forget your mascara, just curling your lashes would totally make a difference with your look! Lash curlers open up your eyes and make them look prettier! I’ve always been a fan of curled lashes! (Say Eyelash Curler, P399, order from 09179870285)

Those are my TOP 5 Beauty Essentials for out of town trips!

Quinceañera also called fiesta de quince años, fiesta de quinceañera, quince años or simply quince, is the celebration of a girl's fifteenth birthday in parts of Latin America and elsewhere in communities of people from Latin America.

HEALTHY SKIN WHITENING! (Mestiza Soap Review)

I’ve always told you guys how I am against whitening my skin—injectables, pills, and all that.

I also forgot to tell you that there’s an exception! If the product is made out of 100% healthy, all natural ingredients, then I’m up for it!

I recently tried out the Mestiza (The Healthy Skin Soap) and honestly think that this is by far, the most natural, and safest whitening soap I’ve ever used.

My skin is fair enough, but I am using this soap to EVEN OUT MY UNEVEN SKIN COLOR! Yup… I do have that on my arms! It’s frustrating since you get more conscious specially when you need to wear sleeveless tops, right?

I love how the Mestiza Soap is made out of these active ingredients which are NATURALLY KNOWN to aid in skin lightening -

• Hi Grade Coconut Oil VCO – effective in removing molds, bacteria, and virus on skin
• Carrot Extract – contains vitamin A which reduces wrinkles and fine lines
• Papaya Extract – provides skin whitening and moisturizing treatment
• Banan Extract –smoothens out various skin problems
• Calamansi Extract – contains vitamin C, valued for its skin toning properties

It can also be used on the FACE and BODY—it helps clear pimples, black spots, and stains on the skin. It also helps lessen bad odor and aids in whitening the skin.

I’m on my SECOND bar already and I LOVE this soap. I’ve not experienced skin allergies since I’ve used this soap. :)

Check out the video I did on this product here -

Now for the BEST PART! Giveaway time, of course!

Mestiza will be giving away 2 gift sets to 2 lucky winners! All you have to do is:

1. LIKE THEIR FB PAGE https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mestiza-Skin-Whitening-Soap/176729409042736
2. FOLLOW THEM ON IG @mestizasoap
3. FOLLOW THEM ON TWITTER @mestizasoap
4. Repost this photo (see: below) on IG with the caption “I wanna win the @mestizasoap giveaway! #saytiocomestizasoap”

Good luck! Leave your comments to let me know your thoughts about this soap :)

EXFOLIATION 101 (Acerola Cherry Scrub Gel Review)

Happy New Year my loves!! Start the year right by changing bad habits! Do you exfoliate enough?

Here is why you should do it at least once a week:

As we age, the process of cell regeneration slows down. This means that the body is slower to shed skin cells and generate new ones. When old skin cells start to pile up on the surface of the skin, it can leave skin looking dull, rough, and dry. Furthermore, the build-up of dead skin cells can result in excess oil and clogged pores, leading to blemishes and acne.

Proper exfoliation removes the barrier of dead skin cells clogging the skin and uncovers fresh new cells below. This opens the way for moisturizing products to penetrate more deeply into the skin, which makes them more effective. In short, a regular exfoliating routine will leave your skin looking fresh and healthy. http://awomanshealth.com/the-importance-of-exfoliation/

While exfoliation is important, selecting the RIGHT exfoliator is important too!

You don’t want to use a scrub that is too harsh because you may end up with damaged skin—and you don’t want that.

This is why I wanted to introduce to you the Acerola Cherry Scrub Gel that I’ve been using the past few weeks!

How to use the Acerola Cherry Scrub Gel:

1. Use it on your DRY SKIN
2. Move in gentle circular motions to remove dead skin
3. Rinse with water

I love this scrub because it’s one of the most gentle exfoliators I’ve ever used. It has a gel-type consistency and my skin feels rejuvenated every time I use it.

Usually, I use this before hopping into the shower.

The scent of this is absolutely fragrant! Real cherries, I may say.

I highly recommend this as it is SO GENTLE, yet it scrubs off dead skin cells effective.

Reveal your radiant skin with the Acerola Cherry Scrub Gel!
