     It's a no brainer that most of Korean women have beautiful skin. It's a mixture of genes, climate, and tons of skin care products they apply religiously everyday.

     It’s no longer a surprise to find more Filipinas becoming infatuated and obsessed with Korean beauty habits – face masks, ampoules, essence, etc. It’s fun, it’s never too serious, and you’ll definitely enjoy the quirky products that aren’t only cute, but work, too! Wondering why most of the Korean actresses have dewy complexion and ever glowing look – well, fret no more as Watsons can help you channel your inner Koreanovela dream with it’s new Get It K-Beauty section! See some of the exclusive line-up of K Beauty products that will make your skin healthy and glowing below :)

Product Review: Mamonde Rose Water Toner

Thursday, January 05, 2017

     Hello dearies! I want to share with you my thoughts on my current fave toner- Mamonde Rose Toner that I bought last year from Althea Korea. At first I was hesitant to try the product because of the price and thinking that it will just go to waste if my skin will react negatively to it. On the other hand, there's a whispering voice telling me to try it because it's rose water- and skin care products with rose extracts are known to give a moisturizing and calming effect on the skin.

     I made a research online and it looks like that only a few made a review of this product. After finishing a bottle, I'm proud to say that I experienced little to no breakouts. This is also the mildest toner that I've tried to date. So without further ado, here's my thoughts on Mamonde Rose Toner.

Cathy Doll Philippines Grand Launch

Monday, June 06, 2016

     Hello dearies! Last May 12, I was invited to the grand launch of Cathy Doll Philippines at Crowne Plaza with other beauty bloggers/vloggers who were so excited to see the wide array of cosmetic line this Thai favorite brand has to offer. If my memory serves me right, I've seen a few Cathy Doll products sold online and I was eyeing on their bb creams because of good reviews. I also saw different skin care products but I had a had time availing them because I have to wait for the products to arrive since it will come all the way from Korea.

     Looks like the angels in heaven have heard the wishes of Cathy Doll fanatics because our friends from Karmart brought not only one or two Cathy Doll products, but the entire line of makeup, skin care, and personal effects line.

Banila Co. Now in the Philippines

Sunday, December 20, 2015

     Korean skin care and makeup still have a hug impact on Filipinas. They've invaded our pop culture by storm and I'm pretty sure that a portion of teenagers today go gaga over their glowing skin and pretty makeup line. I'm also a fan of Korean skin care and makeup as I find them majority of them cost effective. They're the ones who introduced the bb and cc creams. Of course I've tried a lot from other brands and a new player is going to make us fall in love with their oh so pretty products.

     Korea’s influence over our cosmetics industry has gained considerable momentum through the years — and it promises to grow even bigger. The first wave of the Korean cosmetics invasion brought to the Philippines a plethora of Korean cosmetics brands that focuses mainly on skincare and some makeup. The Philippines however, stands as the only country in South East Asia where makeup outsells skincare. Despite this, there hasn’t been a brand that can truly stand for Korean makeup until today. Banila Co. is now in the Philippines and they've introduced their best-selling products in a launch last month. More details below :)
Banila Co. Now in the Philippines
     Banila Co. Philippines launched the brand at the Marco Polo Hotel last November 23, 2015 as the “No. 1 base makeup brand” representing Asian beauty. The launch was graced by Banila Co. CEO Mr. Chang Soo Kim, Chief Makeup Artist Mr. Kangpil Kim, and Managing Directors Cathryn and Jon Lim of All That Blush Trading Inc. During the launch, Kangpil Kim demonstrated a makeup tutorial on how to achieve that Korean lit or glow. He used the best-selling products from Banila Co.

Banila Co.’s products that are popular among Asian women are primers, foundations, gel eyeliners, CC creams, make up cleansers, and the like have been lauded by the most prestigious beauty arbiters in the industry for its prestige quality, creative packaging, and disruptive innovation. 
Banila Co. Now in the Philippines
Banila Co Clean It Zero, Banila Co Prime Primer Classic, Banila Co It Radiant CC Cream
  • Its Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm for instance, so captivated Korean beauty enthusiasts that they snapped up the product at a staggering rate of 1 cleanser for every 4.8 seconds. 
  • Banila Co.’s Prime Primer, with its silky smooth texture and its potent ability to minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines, was adjudged by Get It Beauty, a Korean cable program that reviews the best cosmetic products in the market, as the best primer in the industry. 
  • The company also boasts as having the first and only water-based CC cream in the market. The It Radiant CC Cream has been the bestselling CC cream in Korea for 3 years running. 
Banila Co. Now in the Philippines
Three of Banila Co.'s best-selling products: 
Banila Co Clean It Zero, Banila Co Prime Primer Classic, Banila Co It Radiant CC Cream plus Banila Co. Mr. Skin Doctor Face Mask
     From its humble beginnings in 2005, Banila Co. has grown rapidly in Korea and now has become the second best-performing Korean cosmetics brand in China. It now focuses its attention to South East Asia, headlined by concurrent launches in the Philippines and Taiwan. Subsequent launches in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand are earmarked for 2016. Banila Co opened its first store in Glorietta 4 last November 14. It will soon open its doors in Robinson's Place Manila and other prime malls in Metro Manila and key provinces.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX

Saturday, December 05, 2015

     Hi dearies! Merry Christmas! I've been a fan of Laneige ever since I've tried a sample of Snow BB Cushion. I'm still a lurker of different forums before and don't own a blog yet during the time I'm using the product. I presume that some of you have an idea of Laneige. It's a high-end brand of Korean cosmetics and Song Hye Ko is one of their ambassadors. After finishing a tube of Snow BB Cream, I said to myself that I'll save up and buy one of their best-selling skin care product- Laneige Water Sleeping Pack. I've searched for reviews online about Laneige Water Sleeping Pack four years ago and all the users gave this baby a positive feedback. Since I'm a cheapskate, I wasn't able to buy a tub because I have doubts if it will be worth every peso that I'll spend. 

     Fast forward today, I've learned that this product is being offered in O Shopping for a very reasonable price. I accidentally discovered O Shopping Philippines one night when my son can't sleep and decided to turn on the television. He was switching the channel and stop when he saw something Korean flashing on the screen. I heard the word Laneige and decided to watch too. To cut a long story short, my eyes were glued to the hosts of O Shopping introduced the Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX and what's included in their offer. If you're lemming to try this skin care product from Laneige for a very long time now and having second thoughts because of the price, well you can purchase a set at O Shopping PH for an amazing price. Anyhoo, here's my review after using the product religiously for more than a month, twice or thrice a week especially when my skin feels so dehydrated.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX

Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX benefits and claims:
  • Wake up to a fresher feeling with the new and improved Laneige Water Sleeping Pack_EX.
  • Feel more refreshed when you wake up by simply using the new and improved Laneige Water Sleeping Pack_EX!
  • It has a light gel-type texture that provides hydration, vitality, and brightening effect while restoring skin. Up your skin relaxation game; invest in Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX and feel the difference in the morning!
  • With containing the Snow Water, it helps to keep your skin look more crystal clear and vitalized.
  • An aromatic essence compound exclusively developed by AMOREPACIFIC, Sleepscent™(Patent application No. 10-2009-0043726), helps to relax your mind and body and derive for a good sleep. A good sleep effect allowing sufficient relaxation eventually reinforces skin restoration for healthier skin condition. Essential oils from Orange Flower, Rose, Ylang Ylang, Sandal Wood etc. are contained in the Sleepscent™.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX

Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX ingredients and its features:
  • Beta Glucan for skin regeneration;
  • Ceramide SLN for moisture restoration;
  • Hunza Apricot Extract for skin purification;
  • Chestnut Extract to improve skin texture.

     As I've said above, I've been lemming this skin care product for a long time and when I got hold of this last October, I used it religiously- twice or thrice a week. Even if there were times that I'm too tired and lazy to wash my face after a long day attending events or running errand, I really make sure to apply one scoop around 2.5 cm in diameter using the spatula after washing my face.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX
One scoop is enough for my entire face
     
     The first application of Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX on my face was a bliss. I like the color of this moisturizer/face mask. It has a light bluish tint that turns almost clear once applied. It has a cooling and soothing effect on my tired face that's why I find it addicting to use! The scent is relaxing and after application, my face looks so hydrated that I described it as 'wet face' look.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX
Photo on left shows the color of this gel-type mask. It has a bluish light tint inside the tub. I put a lot of product on my hand so that you can see the color and texture. But I don't apply this much. One scoop is enough, okay? Right hand shows after blending the product. You can see that my hand has a 'wet look' appearance.
     
     This product from Laneige acts as moisturizer and a sleeping mask. It's a light-gel type product and melts like water once applied. It instantly makes the skin soft and smooth but not tight after application. Since I only need a pea-sized amount every night, a 80 ml tub will last me more than five months because I'll just use it three times max per week.

Here's my bare face after applying Laneige Water Sleeping Pack before going to sleep. Photo taken around 12 midnight. No filter. That's my skin- I have large pores, uneven skin tone and freckles on my cheeks

What I like:
  • Reasonably priced at 2,495 at O Shopping Philippines since I get 2 80 ml tub plus the full-sized freebies like the Laneige Multi Cleanser, Laneige Snow Crystal Sheer Lip Gloss and additional 2 20 ml trial size of the sleeping pack.
  • The packaging is simple. The jar is sturdy in my opinion because I've dropped it twice and I didn't see any dent or crack on the surface. Well-sealed upon purchase and comes with a spatula for hygienic purposes.
  • A little amount of product goes a long way.
  • It's a gel type product that's easy to apply.
  • Absorbs quickly and gives a well-hydrated skin after application.
  • It has a relaxing scent and I can feel the cooling sensation during and after application on my skin.
  • It's non-greasy and not oily.
  • Instantly brightens the face the next after I wake up. I can say that my face looks more hydrated and supple.
  • No irritation, breakouts or whatsoever after using it for more than a month.
  • Manufacturing is printed at the bottom of the tub.

What I don't like:
  • It doesn't have anti-aging ingredients so I guess girls who are into anti-aging now will look for other alternatives that give same results.
  • Does nothing on my blemishes and freckles which I understand because the product is not intended for that problem but I hope if they reformulate this in the future, they will add an ingredient that will somehow lighten those marks.

Will I repurchase? Yes, but not for as these tubs will go a long long way! 

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I highly recommend this moisturizer/sleeping mask to all girls who would like to give their skin the hydration needed for the cold ber months will really make your skin dry and flaky. This mask is easy to use and will be enjoyed by women who like to hit the sack immediately after application since they don't have to rinse it at all.

     You can get this set at O Shopping Philippines for a reasonable price. The freebies are awesome too so if you want to give something special this Christmas, this is something that you should now miss. Aside from this set, they also have the Laneige Snow BB Cushion which I really, really, really love! I've been using this bb cream for more than a year now. I get my back up at Laneige counters before but now I will purchase next at O Shopping PH when I ran out of this wonderful product. This also comes in a set and has lots of freebies too.
