Product Review: Shiseido The Collagen Powder

Wednesday, May 15, 2019

     And the search for the best or at least right collagen for me continues. When I say right, it only means the one that will give me the glow and youthful skin sans the plump cheeks. I love the effects of collagen in my skin but my round face looks rounder and adds volume to my chubby cheeks. I always feel like I'm gaining weight when taking collagen that's why the search is still on for me and for those who want glowing and supple skin minus the weight gain.


     Kudos to Shiseido for making collagen supplement easily accessible and readily available in all forms! From tablet, liquid, now in powder form. After roadtesting this product for 21 days, I can say that the powder form is also effective like Shiseido The Collagen Tablet but...

Product Review: Shiseido Benefique White Bloom

Wednesday, November 07, 2018

     I'm totally giving Japanese beauty supplements a thumbs up when it comes to whitening department even though it's not budget-friendly, it delivers. The results are visible that will make you consider it as one of your maintenance beauty supplement after achieving a lighter and glowing skin tone in just a month of taking it.

     One of the Japanese supplements that I will highly recommend is another baby from Shiseido. Shiseido Benefique White Bloom is one of their premium beauty supplements to date. According to them, it's the combination of their infamous Purewhite W (an anti-oxidant) plus Whisis LCEX (l-cysteine) known to be potent boosters of glutathione that targets mostly freckles and pigmentation caused by sun exposure. I took this supplement for a month and amazed with the results. More information about Shiseido Benefique White Bloom below.

Product Review: Shiseido The Collagen Tablet

Tuesday, October 09, 2018

     I've tried a handful of collagen supplements in the past and I have favorites that really delivers in making my skin moist, supple, and glowing. I'm happy that collagen supplements are now available in different forms- powder and juice drink, tablet, gummy, and candy to name a few. But I have this love-hate relationship with collagen because it adds a visible weight to my round face shape.

     For women who have slim facial features, you're lucky because most of the collagen supplements are designed to plump the skin making your face look less haggard. It gives an extra lift to sagging cheeks. There's one brand that I love because I saw the effects as early as 1 week, but I hate because like with other brands, it gives me a double chin and bigger face in photos- Shiseido The Collagen Tablet. Full review after the jump!

     I was in high school, I often hear my mom talking to my titas who live abroad about makeup brands that are not available locally. Two of my aunts work at Macy's that's why if there's a new shade of lipstick from my mom's favorite brand, she will just tell it to them but it will take a year before the balikbayan boxes will arrive at our doorsteps.

     To cut a long story short, it's hard to buy makeup from brands that are exclusively available abroad but now, hoarding buying is a breeze because all the coveted brands from different parts of the world are exclusively available at SM World of Beauty! Let me share with you some of my fave brands from around the world below :)

5 Reasons Why I Highly Recommend Beauty MNL

Thursday, October 01, 2015

     Shopping online is one of the most accessible form of shopping these days as almost everyone is now online. Admit it or not, we are all busy. Even though we have time to drop by our favorite malls and department stores, there are times that we only shop for every day essentials. For beauty aficionado like me who live North of the metro, I find it hard to shop some mid and high end brands that I've been using or would love to try. Because of this dilemma, I've found two solutions to my problem: travel all the way from North to South just to go to the nearest mall carrying the brands I'm looking or find an online shop that carries the brand. NARS and Davines are two brands that's on my beauty wish list and I don't have immediate access to the stores that carries both.

     Fortunately, I've stumbled upon BeautyMNL. It's one of the up-and-coming beauty sites in the country. A major part of BeautyMNL is its Shop, where you can buy various skin care and beauty products and have it delivered to your doorstep within 24 hours. Sounds a truly promising shopping site for all our beauty and skin care needs. I visited the site, browsed their shop, and enjoyed my shopping experience. I was in skin care, makeup, and everything-cosmetics heaven! Scroll down to see what's inside my Beauty MNL haul below :)

5 Reasons Why I Highly Recommend Beauty MNL 
What is Beauty MNL?
   
     Beauty MNL is an online shop for the best skin care, makeup, tools and other beauty related stuff. It's a one-stop-shop that I highly recommend because they want you to feel your most beautiful. Every. Single. Day. Here are other reasons why in your next beauty shopping online, the best destination is Beauty MNL.com

1. They have more than 300 brands and counting. There are hard-to-find brands that you can only score at Beauty MNL. Yes, there are other online shops who can offer those but sometimes the question is authenticity. With Beauty MNL, you are sure that you're getting the real product in a very reasonable price.

4. The prices are affordable and reasonable. Shopping at their website is a breeze. No complicated tasks to do while shopping. Just pick a product and place them in your cart. They offer discounted prices too. As for the payment, they offer different modes that are so convenient for online shoppers. Ask me about the shipping? THE FASTEST I've experienced so far! I ordered my items around 10 p.m. and boy they arrived the next day before afternoon. The packaging is simple, with a delivery receipt that's itemized and very easy to understand. For Metro Manila addresses, expect delivery within 24 hours on weekdays (and Monday delivery for weekend orders). Meanwhile, it will take 3-5 working days for the rest of the country.

     Now let's go to my simple haul. These are the products on my wish list that I found in Beauty MNL. I considered three items in my haul not easily accessible so yeah, I can say I found what I need under one roof. I will just say a little information about my haul and will just give full details on my product reviews.

     I've been lusting over NARS cosmetics for more than five years now. When I saw NARS Schiap swatches from beauty bloggers all over the world, I said to myself that I will buy a tube in the future. My dream came true! I wasn't able to buy the shade that I'm lemming but I found another love in NARS Audacious Lipstick in Michiyo :)

     Second that I've been dreaming of all these years is NARS Blush in Orgasm. I saw this blush shade from the makeup kit of celebrities like Lucy Torres. I fell in love with the shade years ago and I said to myself that I will save up to buy a pan in the future. Now, I already have this. Thanks to Beauty MNL :)

     The following beauty products you'll see below are the products that I dubbed as not easily accessible. I can't say it's hard to find because there are online shops who also sell these brands BUT the only problem I always encounter is it's either the shade is out of stock, the product hasn't arrived yet or simply it available in selected shops. First is Naturactor Cover Face Foundation. This shade is always OOS or hard to find, good thing Beauty MNL offers a wide selection of shades. So when I saw the shade 130, I immediately placed it in my shopping cart.

     Another product that I can't find in stores, malls and local online shops is Davines Oi Oil. This is my favorite high-end hair product. When I emptied one bottle, I had a hard time finding a new one as I need to look for selected salons carrying the brand. It took me months to restock on this but to no avail. The only answer is Beauty MNL. I bought a new bottle that will last me a long time!

     And lastly, a new lip balm from Shiseido. I'm not sure if this is available in Shiseido counters. I picked this because I'm running out of lip balm the time I'm shopping at Beauty MNL. Out of curiosity, I bought one. Well, it's something new for me and since the brand is Shiseido no need for me to ask why.
