COSRX One Step Original Clear Pad review



If you follow me on #AMWIGStories , you probably heard me rave about Dermatory Azulene Gauze Pads  - I swore by them because these pads helped lessen skin irritations and because of the said product, I can easily review one skincare product to another!

When COXRX One Step Original Clear Pad landed on my desk one day (well not really, I attended their launch couple of months ago!)  , I've heard so many raves about these pads (the Pimple pads to be exact) and I've seen fellow beauty enthusiasts went crazy hoarding these during my most recent Korea trip.  Finally, I have the original version so I gave it a go!

Oil and excess sebum control just got easier. The award-winning COSRX One Step Original Clear Pads are pre-soaked in betaine salicylate and willow bark water to chemically exfoliate without drying out your skin. Active ingredients penetrate deeply into pores to dissolve oil and dead skin cells, which help in controlling breakouts. Not only are they good for the face but also recommended for blemishes on the chest and back.Includes 70 patches

In Her Element Petal Skin Rose Products Review



In Her Element recently launched their newest skincare line called PETAL SKIN.
When you say "Petal Skin", I'm imagining soft, supple, bouncy, pink and healthy-looking skin.  Who wouldn't want to achieve that?

So I was honored when I was given the chance to try their 2 new products.  Petal Skin Rose Toning Essence and Petal Skin Rose Clay Mask.

The packaging is simple yet very innovative!  This is a great way to store toners and essences in my opinion as you can easily press the top and get right amount of product without the need to tilt the bottle.

Ask AMW: What's the Best Way To Moisturize Skin With Makeup On?



I probably shared so many times on #AMWIGStories on how much I love Face Mists!  I've used them all day long just to hydrate my skin keeping it hydrated all throughout the day!

But I've found another solution for those who wanted "brightening" aside from hydration.  Midday, most of us probably go through a stage where our skin looks dull, flat and just plain matte from all the powder retouching!  I've discovered another way to "wake up" our skin!

This is actually meant to be a skincare product but you know how your resident AMW loves to make a single product "multi-purpose".  Here's a quick tip on how to hydrate and keep your skin looking fresh and bright all day long!


With the help of Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Brightening and Soothing Treatment Water.


Please keep in mind that this product is meant to be a skincare product, best used before sunblock application way before makeup application too!  This is a dark spot corrective product so make sure you use sunblock whenever you use such product!

When used as skincare, it is best to apply on cotton pad and gently apply on skin.  When used as an "all-day hydration" product, apply a few drops on the palm of your hand, gently tab it on your skin like a gentle massage.

Happy Skin Beauty: Sakura Bloom Hydrating Skin Booster




A "Beauty Water" that's meant to be applied before Toner?  Seriously, why would I add something to my "already long" beauty routine?

Well, to some, it is tedious but for me, who loves skincare products and can vouch on how taking care of the skin can give you better-looking skin, I don't mind the extra effort.


I had the Sakura Bloom Hydrating Skin Booster for quite some time but only gotten the chance to write a review as I have been reviewing facial mists one brand at a time.  I love facial mists as it hydrates my dry skin throughout the day and I love how it sets my makeup pretty well.

For Happy Skin Beauty Sakura Bloom Hydrating Skin Booster, I originally treat this as a regular facial mist but realized it gives MORE to what I expected.

Sakura Bloom Hydrating Skin Booster Says ---
Strengthen the power of your skin with one product. Most effective when used immediately after cleansing, this boosting essence is the first step of skincare. Featuring a hydrate-and-glow double function, it helps with the recovery of tired skin.

Gluta-C with Kojic Plus Shower Salt Scrub and Acne Control Toner Review





Hi AMW friends!  Today, I will be giving my initial thoughts on 2 newest products from Gluta-C with Kojic Plus+ line which I got from Sample Room.

Gluta-C With Kojic Plus+ Shower Salt Scrub (Php164.75) and
Gluta-C With Kojic Plus+ Acne Control Toner (Php109.75)

Since I've tried other Gluta-C products in the past and haven't suffered any negative reactions using them, I am more comfortable in giving these 2 new products a try!  But keep in mind that I didn't use the toner fully because I personally do not have Acne Prone Skin and I only use it on days I needed to "spot treat" certain areas.  As for the Shower Salt Scrub, I come to terms with the idea of exfoliating both my face and body even with dry skin because it helps lessen the skin flakiness and it was highly recommended by skin experts to do so no matter what skin type you have!

Let's start with the Shower Salt Scrub which I used immediately after receiving this from Sample Room.

Eureka Moment: Vitamin C For the Skin Does Help!




Remember last month when I visited the Laneige Pop-Up store at SM Mall of Asia?   I love it that I get to talk to fellow bloggers who are Laneige user and of course, talk to the people behind Laneige and get tips from them on which products are the best!  (I seriously believe they know better because they get to try the products first!)


I am happy with our long-afternoon talk with Laneige's Brand person Ms. Mela Fortes, big reason is that, she was very vocal with the products that work for her and those that do not (Even if it is her own brand!).  She honestly shares to me her personal experiences on the products I am intrigued with and that is one major reason why I believe her when she gushed on Laneige's newest skincare product called Clear-C Advanced Effector.

I had to pick one to try!


Laneige Clear-C Advanced Effector contains 150ml worth of Vitamin booster with 92.5% super berry extracts that have clarifying effects, giving you a brighter complexion.

Ingredients:
Malpighia Emarginata (Acerola) Fruit Extract, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract, Propanediol, Alcohol, Niacinamide, Butylene Glycol, Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Extract, Melia Azadirachta Extract, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Nasturtium Officinale Extract, Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Extract, Glutathione, Glycerin, Lecithin, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Sodium Magnesium Silicate, Adenosine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Water, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance
