Product Review: Skin Beautanicals Organic Arbutin Soap with Argan Oil

     I've been suffering from dry and flaky skin for months now. It started last December because of the cold weather. I'm used to this condition and I'm sure that I'm not alone. The colder the weather, the drier the skin because the humidity level (moisture in the air) tends to be lower than the usual during cold months. So it's not an excuse to ditch the moisturizers even if you have normal skin/oily skin types during cold months cause your skin will be needing it too.

     Aside from creams and lotions that contain moisturizers, we also need to look for a soap or body wash that will help lock in moisture in our skin after taking a bath. Beauty oils are in the limelight of skin care nowadays. From rosehips-tea tree-grapeseed-olive-jojoba-sunflower-camellia-marula to argan oil, name it and I'm sure beauty gurus around the globe have tried a couple of them. Morrocan Argain Oil is the "liquid gold" for dry hair and dry skin. Skin Beautanicals by Jianne Skin Essentials sent me their Organic Arbutin Soap with Argan Oil to try and after using the soap for more than a month, I'm ready to share my thoughts about it.

Product Review: Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub

     Read my lips... dry, chapped and flaky! Blame it to the cold weather baby. Raise your hands if you also feel the same :( But don't worry, a heavy duty lip balm will help lessen dryness  your lips and a moisturizing lipstick will give a lovely color to your lips sans fine lines and flakes. Aside from what I mentioned above, a gentle yet effective way to wash off dead skin around your lips is by using a lip scrub.

     I've been suffering from dry and chapped lips since last month. I barely wear matte lipsticks these past few weeks. Good thing I have a lip scrub from Tony Moly that I got last October. How pretty the packaging right? To know more about Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub and my thoughts after using it for more than a month now, click CONTINUE READING dearies!

How Effective is IVF?

     For many people, IVF is a last resort after years of trying other ways to conceive a baby. For others, where one or both partners have a known condition that doesn't make natural reproduction viable, it can be one of the only ways to have a baby at all. If you are desperate to get pregnant and have had no joy trying the natural way, or have had no success with other treatments like artificial insemination, IVF can often help you achieve the pregnancy you long for. But what are the success rates of IVF and fertility or assisted reproductive treatments in general?

Product Review: Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Enamel- Photos and Swatches

     Hello dearies! If you're a long time reader of this blog, I presume you already know that I'm a stay-at-home-mom, I do household chores that's why I wash my hands more than 10 times a day. With that said, my manicure doesn't lasts long. Even if I use a premium nail polish, the edges tend to chip the next day. 

     I've tried gel nail polish thrice and it lasted for 5 days to a week. For a hands-on mom like me, gel nail polish is prolly the best bet for long-lasting manicure. There are 2 things why sometimes I veered away from gel nail polish aside from weekly trips to nail salon. First, the price of the service is a bit steep for a budget conscious individual like me. Lastly, if the gel polish started to chip, I need to go back to the salon and avail the gel polish removal service or I'll let my nails grow and get an uneven polish at the bottom part of my finger nails (lunula).

    I think the solution to my so called roller coaster nail polish love affair came to life when Revlon Philippines sent me their Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Enamel. The word 'gel envy' is intriguing. Be the judge and see if this nail polish collection from Revlon fits the bill. Click CONTINUE READING to see photos and swatches of these 8 pretty shades.
