Feature: Pure Beauty Urban Shield

     Did you know that your skin is exposed to different kinds of pollutants everyday? These are dust, dirt, and UV rays that will have negative effects on your skin in the long run if not addressed properly. While there are so many whitening and anti-aging products in the market that is easily accessible, I haven't seen a product line that works to protect the skin from harmful effects of pollution that's why I was surprised when Watson's Philippines sent the full range of Pure Beauty Urban Shield line. 

     The newest product line that will nourish and protect your skin from inside out is here! It will be Filipina's best bet for that 8 step Korean skin care regimen. Pure Beauty Urban Shield line is the first of its kind in the country, inspired by nature and infused with antioxidants from pomegranate. More information about the line below.

Watsons + SNOE Beauty Haul

     Hello there! Just a quick haul post for today. I asked Kenzo to watch Little Einsteins from the TV so I'm here typing faster than the usual because I told him this: mommy will borrow the laptop, count 1-10! Hehehe! So last weekend I went shopping to replenish my bath essentials and look what I found at Watsons, a charcoal toothbrush! My toothbrush brand is Colgate but the charcoal thing-y caught my attention so I decided to buy it and see what's the difference from the regular bristles. I ran out of conditioner and my plan was to try the Dove conditioner for color-treated hair. I haven't seen this variant before and I'm not sure if it's available here already. My cousin mentioned it to me a month ago. I tried looking for it at Watsons and Sm supermarket but I found none. My second option was Color Me Happy but it's OOS so my last resort was Pure Beauty Treatment Conditioner and it's my 2nd bottle now.

     Since I'm very busy lately and have no time to book for an appointment at my fave waxing salon, I just bought this hair removal paper and use the remaining Strip It wax that I won from a giveaway. I ran out of facial wipes and the aloe vera variant was OOS so I opted for the green tea instead.

     Restocking my fave soaps from Snoe for the nth time, No.5 Vitamin C Rich Calamansi Beauty Bar and No. 10 The Special Black Bleaching Bar. Back to this soaps after finishing No.3 Special Kojic Glutathione Soap.

Product Review: Pure Beauty Treatment Conditioner

     Hi loves! I think it's time to share my thoughts about this great hair product that is reasonably priced. I've known Pure Beauty Treatment shampoo and conditioner last year through GT forums and most ladies who tried it said that this is Shiseido Tsubaki shampoo and conditioner counterparts. I know that Shiseido's price tag was expensive for a cheapskate like me and I need to look for a cheaper alternative. Last year when I saw that Pure Beauty Treatment shampoo was on sale at Watsons I never hesitated and bought it immediately. I wanted to buy both the shampoo and conditioner but the SA said that the latter sells like hot pancakes. It's always out of stock. I admit that I had a hard time looking for this conditioner. It took months before I saw it on the shelves again. 

     I already found my HG conditioner Clairol Herbal Essences Color Me Happy that made my color-treated hair more healthy, shiny and vibrant. But I still wanted to try this conditioner because of the positive results that I read from beauty bloggers. So after three weeks of using this conditioner I've found another HG that I can use alternately with Color Me Happy conditioner. Wanna know why? Read more to see my full review.

Pure Beauty Treatment Conditioner is enriched with Camellia Seed Oil from Japan to help nourish and repair dry and damage hair. It also helps to strengthen each strand of hair, improving its elasticity for smoother and more manageable hair with an exceptional shine.

place bought: Watsons Health and Beauty Store, Sm Fairview

instructions for use: After cleansing with Pure Beauty Treatment Shampoo, apply an appropriate amount of conditioner to wet hair and massage through the ends. Leave for 2-3 minutes then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

What I like:

• The price- it's very affordable.
• Has Camellia Seed Oil that's known to make hair softer and more manageable.
• Pump-type bottle that dispenses right amount of product.
• The scent is a bit powdery, not overpowering.
• Makes my hair silky, smooth and shiny.
• The scent lingers on my hair the whole day.
• Gives a bit of volume on my thin limp hair.
• This conditioner is Paraben and SLS free.
• There's a batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the bottle.

What I don't like:

• Always out of stock.

Will I repurchase? Yes! This is a great alternative to my HG conditioner. I will restock on this since it's always OOS. 

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. I love that this product makes my hair smooth and manageable. I only worry about the hair fall and I'm hoping that it will subside after using the entire bottle. But fret not because it's only a bit. Nothing big to worry about. 

     Have you tried Pure Beauty Treatment hair care line? What's your fave? Happy Friday guys!

Good Times!~

My Recent Hair and Skin Care Haul

     Here's another haul post guys. Actually the first photo was purchased two weeks ago while the latter was bought yesterday. One of hubby's rest day is reserve for grocery and mini shopping day. We usually buy Kenzo's stuff at Sm Supermarket but this time we decided to go at Trinoma. I always enjoy our grocery time because Kenzo loves riding the push cart. When I saw those cute push carts at The Landmark grocery, I'm very excited for my son. So when we went their to buy our grocery, Kenzo's very eager to ride the push carts with kiddie ride thingy. 

     So here's what I bought two weeks ago: My second bottle of VMV Hypoallergenics Skin-Saving Antiperspirant Spray. Would you believe that my first bottle lasted for a year? I'm really in love with this product. I sweat a lot because it runs in the family. We have active sweat glands and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I'm glad that I discovered this skin care line from VMV and will post my review soon. The price is a bit steep for an antiperspirant but one things for sure, it will really make you feel comfortable! I also bought the Pure Beauty Treatment Conditioner. I read somewhere that this hair treatment line from Pure Beauty is somehow a dupe of Shiseido's Pure Tsubaki Treatment Shampoo and Conditioner. I already made a review on Pure Beauty Treatment Shampoo and I love how it made my color treated hair smooth and shiny. 

VMV Skin Saving Antiperspirant from- 420php to 380 php
Pure Beauty Treatment Conditioner with Camellia Seed Oil- 249.75

     And here's what I got yesterday: Asian Secrets Lulur Body Scrub in Licorice and Mulberry Leaf Extract which I really love! I think it's my 5th or 6th tub now? I just, just love using this scrub. Then I purchased only one soap from All Organics- Calamansi which I really miss since I'm fond of using Snoe soaps lately but this doesn't mean that I totally forgot this brand. This is my first HG organic soap and will always have a very big place in my heart :)))

Asian Secrets Lulur Body Scrub- 130php
All Organics Calamansi Soap- 70 php

     Reviews will be posted soon :D I need to make sure I use the product before making a review so please bear with me if it takes me weeks or months on sharing my thoughts. So that's all for now. Thanks for reading my blog and I hope you enjoyed my haul post. Have a great ahead!

Good Times!~

Product Review: Pure Beauty Tsubaki Treatment Shampoo

image from Google

      I’m always on the search for the right shampoo on my hair. My hair is colored and it tends to get dry after one month of coloring. I’ve read that Shiseido Tsubaki is good in terms of giving a soft, shiny and healthy hair. But the price is a bit steep for me. So the cheapskate in me found an alternative that can be compared to Shiseido’s quality.

• Cleans my hair squeaky clean.
• My hair is soft and shiny after use.
• I love the unique scent.
• The packaging is sealed so you know it’s fresh.
• Batch number and production date is stamped on the bottom of the bottle.
• Comes in a pump bottle and dispenses the right amount of product.
• The color and design of pump bottle is classy.

What I don't like:

• The scent doesn't last that long.

Will I repurchase?Yes! I'm also planning to buy the conditioner and see how it works on my hair.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I recommend this to people with thin limp hair like mine. If you want to try a shampoo with Camellia Seed Oil, I guess this an inexpensive alternative to Shiseido Tsubaki’s Line.

     What shampoo are you using?Let me know,ayt?
