My New Baby + HG Under Eye Concealer and a facial wipes substitute

     Hi dearies! I'm still on a hang over mode after the holidays and my brother, mother-in-law and my birthday celebrations. I know there's a lot of catching up to do. So many items to review and post updates to be done. I just want to share to you what I bought myself before 2011 ends and my new found HG.

Majolica Majorca Skin Remaker Pore Cover Powder Foundation in OC10

Garnier BB Under Eye Roll On and Purederm Make-Up Cleansing Tissues

     So far, I'm loving this new powder foundation and will road test it for a month so I can make a review. On the other hand, Garnier BB Under Eye Roll On is love! I can say it's my HG under eye concealer right now. 

     The Purederm facial wipes that I purchased before we left Manila also deserves a review here. I can't say that it can be a HG material but after 3 uses, it can be compared to my Hg facial wipes that is Neutrogena. 

     That's it for now, I need to lose all this holiday weight and stress so that I can get back right on track. Thanks for reading!

Good Times!~

My hubby's payday haul

     I'm just a plain housewife so my hubby's pay day is what I'm waiting for to do some shopping on my bath essentials and some affordable makeup. So this is what I got from Watson's Health and Beauty Store and Sm Department store.

Purederm Dual Wellbeing Pack

Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub with Licorice and Mulberry Extract

E.L.F. Eyeliner Pen in Coffee

     I already made a review on Purederm Dual Wellbeing Pack here. This is mg HG facial mask and peeling gel. I will also make a review on Asian Secrets Lulur after two or three uses. I used another variant of this scrub a year ago the one in the green tub. The SA said that only this year that two other variants were released including this one and the one with seaweed blah. I'm still thinking if I'm going to make a review on the eyeliner because my digicam is still not workin. boo boo!

     So thats all for now. I'm excited for another pay day because I'm eyeing on several makeups and to make a quick post or review on them.

Good Times!~

Product Review: Purederm Dual Wellbeing Pack

Purederm Dual Wellbeing Pack

       Having a soft and smooth skin in an instant is easy nowadays because of different skin care and makeup products available in the market. This phenomenon is marked by the rise of Korean and Japanese brands in our country. They offer a wide range of effective and affordable beauty and skin care products. Who's not to grab their offer of smooth skin, it's evident that they have good skin to begin with.

     I have been trying and testing several Korean brands when it comes to skin care and cosmetic but only a few suits my skin needs. One of them is facial mask that have many varieties to choose from.  Whether its cream, gel, masks sheet or peeling gels, I'm sure there is an affordable facial mask for everyone.

     So the cheapskate in me become curious in this mask that is always OOS in Watson's Health and Beauty store because this mask is really affordable

Pure Derm Dual-Well Being Mask. 

     This mask is consisting of two different kinds: a nutritious vitamin pack and a peeling gel. This 2 in 1 multi-massage mask deep cleanses the pores and gently exfoliates and refines the skin's surface. Just use the Deep Cleansing Peeling Gel followed by the Nutritious Vitamin Pack that's enriched with Vitamin A,B3, and E that provides essential nourishment to restore soft revitalize skin.

This is the Nutritious Vitamin Pack looks like. It's beige-y in color and a bit sticky.

What I like:

• Really cheap compared to other Korean brands.
• Convenient and easy to use.
• The price is really cheap for a 2 in 1 mask.
• This pack can be used twice, once a week in my case.
• I like how my face feels squeaky clean after using the peeling gel.
• The nutritious pack smells citrusy which is not overpowering.
• I love how it made my skin feels soft and smooth.
• Expiry date is printed on the packaging.
• There's an English translation to the Korean text for instructions of use.

What I don't like:

• The packaging for restoring unused product is messy since I use it twice, I need to refrigerate it.
• The nutritious pack may sting a bit if left more than 10 minutes on face.

Will I repurchase? Yes, this is my HG facial mask. I'm using this for more than a year now.

Recommendation:

          I give this mask a 5/5 rating. I highly recommend this mask to everyone who wants to exfoliate and revitalize their skin at the same time. If you're a cheapskate like me, I'm sure you will really love this product. This an inexpensive yet effective product.

     That's all for now, have a great day ahead!

Good Times!~
