Quick FX

My Sample Room Product for April + Mini Haul

Tuesday, April 23, 2013

     Hello! Hope you had an awesome Monday dearies and to start another week that's gonna be full of surprises from yours truly let me share with you my mini haul for this month. Skin care products that you'll see here are my favorites/holy grail (HG's) so I'll just leave the links just in case you haven't read my review on them. 

     I'm on my 3rd bottle of Eskinol Facial Cleanser, I use it once a day or when I feel that my face needs extra cleaning after wearing makeup for more than 5 hours. This toner works best with another fave All Organics Lemongrass FacialToner and the Quick FX Pimple Eraser. I noticed some of my old pimple marks appear less visible now. It's not an overnight miracle though but I'm happy to see positive results. I still love the effect of Quick FX Pimple Eraser not only in combating nasty zits but also in making dark pimple marks lighter :) Another product that I really love is Asian Secrets Lulur Body Scrub. I've been using this product alternately with A Bonne' Spa White C Salt Scrub. Both products work great in exfoliating dead skin cells on my body caused by heat and pollution. 

     Say hello to my new shoulder/body bag from Y.R.Y.S. :) It's not fashionable and trendy but being spacious is a plus for me that's why I bought it without hesitations. My long time fave shoulder bag from Landmark is showing a sign that it needs to rest for a while to prevent it from further damage.

Eskinol Spot-less Facial Cleansing Toner

     Here's what I got from Sample Room 2 weeks ago, a 50ml Mustela Hydro Bebe Hydrating Lotion. I was planning to use this on my son but when I opened it, the cologne-like scent made me decide to use it on the driest part of my body. I love how velvety and soft my skin to touch after applying the lotion. Will post a separate review on this soon.

     So basically that's all for now. I still have lots of product reviews and features coming on the following days. There will be new giveaways this week and next week so watch out for it. For the meantime, join my ongoing giveaway here: Summer Giveaway 2. Thank you for visiting guys!

Good Times!~


Collective Haul (January, February and March)

Saturday, March 16, 2013

    Hellos! I would like to share my recent and not so recent skin care and makeup haul. I decided to make this post collective so that you'll not get bored of seeing same products that I buy to replenish my skin care essentials every month. I already posted my review of BYS Lipstick and Eskinol Spot-less Facial Cleanser before this haul post, I know it should be haul first before review but it's better late than never right?

     Most of the items here are my favorites like All Organics Lemongrass Toner, Snoe white The Special Black Bleaching Bar, Quick FX Pimple Eraser, Purederm Facial Wipes and Nivea Extra Whitening Lotion. Just click on the link for full review of each product. 
ESKINOL Spot-less White Facial Cleanser
All Organics Lemongrass Toner
BYS Lipstick in Champagne Rain
Snoe white The Special Black Bleaching Bar

      My recent skin care buddy is the Eskinol Spot-less White Facial Cleanser. It's my 2nd bottle now and I'm loving how it removes deep seated dirt while making dark spots and blemishes less visible than before. 
QUICK FX Pimple Eraser
Purederm Makeup Cleansing Tissues
     Great news for Quick FX Pimple Eraser users. The old packaging has been replaced with this one that has a resealable cap. No more worries of contamination and spillage! 
NIVEA Whitening Cell Repair
Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Off Beat Pink
     I already  made a review of Nivea Whitening Cell Repair Protect and this is my favorite lotion of all time. Since it's summer and I'm always outdoors, I decided to try this variant because it's suitable for frequent sun exposure. I also bought a new lipstick and this time from Ever Bilena, heard it's a dupe for MAC Pink Noveau. Let's see how this will look on my pigmented lips. Will post swatch and review in a week's time.
Tony Moly Baby Doll Pot Concealer 01
Tony Moly Dear Me Petite Cotton BB Cream 01
     Yay! My first full-size, unused bb cream :) I'm a bb cream addict. I started using bb creams 4 years ago and tried more than 10 brands. It's a trial and error experience. Even if I found my HG bb creams- Skin79, Skinfood, Laneige and Kate to name a few, I still feel the need to look for something new. I guess that's the reason why I don't buy full-sized bb creams. This concealer is my lemming and finally got my own pot already. I've read positive reviews about this concealer, will road test the product for a week or two before sharing my own review. 

     Basically that's it for now. Leave a comment below if you use the same skin care and makeup products. Have you joined my giveaways yet? Click here to join ^_^

Sample Room Experience + First Haul for 2013

Saturday, January 19, 2013

     Happy weekend guys! We're fortunate that beauty comes in boxes now. I mean we can try beauty, skin care, wellness products and everything in between with these beauty subscription boxes. I presume that you all know these beauty boxes and had subscribe from them depending on your preferences. It boom last year around August if I'm not mistaken but I'm contemplating which box to get. The price ranges from 400-500 php for a month of subscription,  you'll get different variety of beauty and skin care items, some are samples while others are full-sized ones. 

     I've joined the club now! Finally got my first beauty product sample from Sample Room. I will not get into full details of SR since beauty bloggers already discussed everything on their blogs. I will just share my experience and how considerate they were because my first transaction from them was cancelled and it's my fault. I'm lucky that they'll going to return the first 70 points that I used and wasn't able to pay the shipping on time and totally forgot my order. I used my remaining points to purchase this...
My order comes in this eco friendly paper bag, sealed with SR sticker :)
     This is what I ordered from the remaining points that I have. I have read all the reviews from SR that's why I'm convinced that Gluta-C is effective in terms of lighten dark marks and spots. I'm not sure if I'll use this on my underarm, I'm planning to use a little of this on my freckles and I hope this will work there too.
Gluta-C Skin Whitening Gel- FULL SIZE 20ml
Only 25 points for this one, not bad eh?
     So now to my haul, basically these are products that I already use everyday. Nothing new except the Nichido Mineral Concealer that I will use as an eyeliner for my waterlines and the HBC Keratin Hot Oil Treatment that was always OOS. I was intrigued months ago why among the DIY hair care treatments from HBC this is always OOS. Now I can try this and see what's the rave about :) I also bought this top from a shop near our subdivision selling factory priced clothing from Lee and Jag. Got this for 50& off the tag! But it's to tight for me, I need to lose weight before I can wear this confidently.  The Tony Moly 7 Day Eyebrow Tattoo is the bomb!!! I will muse everything about it on my next post. I really LOVE LOVE it!!! It's the cheaper version of K-Palette (I guess) :D
LEE Lycra Puff Sleeve Blouse
Nichido Mineral Concealer
Tony Moly 7 Days Tattoo
ASIAN SECRETS LULUR BODY SCRUB
     And by the way, the cutie bottle cap earrings was a gift from le sister on my birthday. She said she won in a giveaway and this was her prize from Hodge Podge. She's very shy to use this because of the word blogger written on it. Thank you so much Krystal! I'm also shy to wear this even if this is the craft that I love doing. I don't want others to misinterpret me wearing those earrings. But if I'm with blogger friends, I'll wear it because I'm sure they'll understand me 100%
HBC Keratin Hot Oil Treatment
QUICK FX PIMPLE ERASER
PUREDERM MAKEUP CLEANSING TISSUE
     That's all for now. Drop a comment below if you have tried these products before. Have a great weekend ahead!

Good Times!~




November and December Hauls

Monday, December 31, 2012

     Before the year ends, I would like to squeeze in pending posts from my November and December haul. Since I'm on a tipid mode, I only bought few products for the last two months. Some products here are my HG's while some were purchased just to try if they're worth of my tight budget. 

     Before the Glorietta Vibe fashion show walk, I decided to buy a makeup remover wipes that can melt waterproof mascara without using an eye makeup remover. I think it's more convenient than bringing a bottle of eye makeup remover and cotton balls during the event. I also bought this foot socks and nail polish remover wipes for my feet. The Mondes Ionic Keratin hair treatment was purchased out of curiosity. I'm not happy with the product, I develop pimples and wound like itchy flakes on my scalp. I guess I'm allergic to one of its ingredient but I don't know what to pinpoint :(
Foot socks
Tony Moly Floria Cleansing Tissues
Mondes Ionic Keratin Treatment
Wish Nail Polish Remover
     I also bought a back up of my favorite makeup remover wipes- Purederm  just in case my skin will react to Tony Moly Floria makeup remover wipes. This soap was given by my SIL when I visited my parents house. I was surprise when I read the label that it's manufactured by Splash- a local company selling beauty and bath products. But this was only sold through their direct-selling line like that of AVON. So now Splash is also making it's way on direct-selling, let's wait and see if they'll make noise this 2013. You know how I love Asian Secrets, and based on my experience this body scrub already replaced my first love on Abonne. I find this more convenient to use and doesn't hurt my skin if I use the scrub everyday!

Asian Secrets Lulur Body Scrub
Seriously White Gluathione Soap
Purederm Makeup Cleansing Tisuues

     My last haul for this year came from Snoe. Yay for new variants: Licorice and Organic Papaya :) I bought these two from a BOGO sale at Cinderella. The SA their informed me that they're having a sale so I grabbed the opportunity. I already reached my third month of using the black bleaching soap so I need to rest my skin from bleaching and use a milder one. When Ms. Jen of Snoe suggested the Special Kojic and Glutathione combo as a substitute for black bleaching I followed her and loving the results! 

     My sister just gave me this toner to try. At first I was hesitant because I find this toner too strong for my thin skin. But Janet's review of Eskinol convinced me to try this product. Let's see if this product will fare good on my skin.

Snoe White Lightening Licorice Beauty Bar
Snoe White Special Kojic with Glutathione Beauty Bar

     This mini haul is always on my list whenever I go shopping for my skin care essentials because all of them are my HG's.

     I wanted to support my favorite fashion bloggers that's why I decided to drop by at the Bazaar for All Season last November 4 and that's a Sunday. Shopping wasn't a plan at all until my parents got delighted with the mark down prices of shoes and clothes. Even though we only have an hour to window shop, they managed to buy something that's worth every peso :D Surprisingly, the hubby gave his signal for me to shop ^_^ but there was a limit to my budget and this were all I got.
