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.

Press Release: Metascreen, A Guard Against 'Sudden Death'

     Nearly one baby every hour each day dies abruptly. An estimated 7,000 babies die each year without warning.[i]

     Parents are left clueless after the death as the possible causes remain unknown even after undergoing autopsy. All because of the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). 

     SIDS is the unexplained death of babies usually occurring during sleep and striking under unexpected circumstances. 

     Even a healthy one-year old baby may be a victim of the condition which is often simply attributed to physical and environmental factors.

     Studies have shown that babies with physical conditions including brain abnormalities, low birth weight and respiratory infection have higher risk of dying an unexplained death. 

     Still some studies indicated that an infant’s sleeping position may also be a cause. Babies sleeping on their stomach side are more prone as they may suffer more difficulty in breathing. Those sleeping on soft surfaces and with their parents are also at risk. [ii]

Product Review: Mischka Derma Secret Coffee Exfoliating Body Scrub

    Last December, I received a bunch of skin care products from Mischka Derma Secret. The loot includes soaps, body lotion, body scrub and a lip plumping serum. I'm so giddy to try them all but my eyes were glued on their coffee exfoliating body scrub. I've gained weight these past few months and some are water weight because of water retention from eating salty foods. I'm not sure if using coffee scrub will make those excess water disappear but from what I've read, coffee scrubs can help in improving the appearance of cellulites and loosen up excess fluid so the appearance of the skin will look more toned and smooth.

     I've been using the product for two weeks now, twice a week to be exact. Yes, I've seen positive results but not on the cellulites/fat per se. To know more about the product click CONTINUE READING and see if it's a yay or a nay!
