Special Edition Totally Tangled Ginger



I got totally tangled by The Body Shop's Special Edition Ginger Shower Gel and Body Yogurt.

Taking a shower feels much more relaxing and fun - for a busy mom like me!




This special edition Ginger products has a right "zingy" fragrance that felt a bit weird (for me) on first sniff but upon using them constantly, I am actually looking forward to it!  

The Shower Gel, like any other shower gels from The Body Shop lathers up pretty quickly which I like and I like to use it with my favorite loofah and do a circular massaging motion.  The product is enriched with ginger root extract from India and Community Trade organic cane sugar from Paraguay.

And ONLY The Body Shop body yogurt gets into my shower.  It is the ONLY product I apply IMMEDIATELY after shower. 

This is a lightweight gel-cream that gets absorbed into skin instantly with a nice cool sensation.  I love it that I sleep with good skin and wake up with the same sensation!  The Body yogurt provides moisture for up to 48 hours and I believe them!




Do you like ginger scented body products?
Would you give this a sniff?

Cetaphil Baby Products Review



I don't have a baby anymore but I still use baby products for ONE reason ---

My son may be 5 years old but his skin is still a baby!  He got my super sensitive, dry skin and using the wrong products will cause him to itch the whole day!

I have used a number of Baby Care products, I've tested a couple but one brand that was stuck in my head was Cetaphil Baby.  Why?  I'll tell you why when you scroll further down!

Kyle is a great reader, he reads ALL the product names and even product description whenever I introduce him to new bath care products.  Ever since I used Cetaphil Baby products on him, he has been requesting this brand out of all the brands available inside the bathroom for a couple of reasons --- he likes the scent and he likes how moisturizing it feels on him after every bath.

Palmolive Naturals White + Milk Review




One thing that I've been loving about my Sampleroom family?  The chance to try before I buy because I would sometimes just stick to what I use and never venture out on other brand/products.

I recently get to try the new Palmolive Naturals White + Milk line and I couldn't be happier.

Palmolive Naturals White + Milk Soap 
(80g for Php28.75 and 55g for Php12.95)
Palmolive Naturals White + Milk Body Wash
(200ml for Php80.00)

Saw this poster of Heart Evangelista so many times online and that sparked up my interest about the products event more!


According to Palmolive ---
"Palmolive Naturals White + Milk Soap’s formula is infused with 100% natural milk protein, helps nourish and reveal whiter skin in just 1 week*, so you can flaunt your naturally milky white, milky soft skin."*Based on mexameter instrumental reading; when used twice daily

Spotted at Beauty Bar: BARE Hair Care and Body Care Range





So how many among you are like me?  Walking around aisles after aisles at the Beauty Bar soothes your stressed and tired senses?  *sigh*

That's ME!

Unlike skincare, I am quite adventurous when it comes to hair and body care products!  So look what I found!

BARE HAIR CARE RANGE
There are a total of 7 variants of shampoos and conditioners to help target various hair issues.  I got the BARE Horsetail Shampoo which is for scalp repair and fragile hair!  While the conditioner variant I got is Grapefruit which is targeted for Dull Hair.

You can actually pick similar variants for both shampoos and conditioners but at times, it is okay to mix and match.


Bare Horsetail Shampoo
Php550.00
I recently have issues with my scalp.  It gets dry and itchy on certain areas.  Must be the combination of stress and environmental factors.  I personally think I can't use this alone (as to any shampoo brands) as I am used to following up with a conditioning treatment.  The scent reminds me so much of a fresh grass, so refreshing!

Bathe With Perfume Everyday With Lux + Free Sample!

I'm a fragrance girl, scent can really dictate my mood!  That's why I highly rely on scented body soaps and shower gels because the scent can really jump start my day!  

Adding my love for perfumes and I can't seem to wear one everyday since I work from home, there are time I would literally spritz my favorite scent even if I'm just staying home --- all for the love of perfume and for that instant boost of happiness.

And trust me when I say, I've wished my favorite bath soaps, and body washes can last longer because there are particular scents that can almost pass up as a perfume.

Just like the 2 new products I will introduce to you today ---- LUX Fine Fragrance.


Finally, LUX is finally here!  I know, it took longer time than our neighboring countries but the wait is worth it!

Something New: The Body Shop Bestsellers

I was really sad when I wasn't able to drop by at The Body Shop stores on time during their #TheBodyShopat18   They have discounts, special editions and some big sized version of our favorites!  But then, I don't need to fret, as I finally got the chance to visit their store at SM San Lazaro, I still see a lot of deals that I want you guys to check out too!  

The Body Shop has always been my "to-go-to" store in terms of gift giving, especially during Christmas Season!  Not only that, I hoard their Body Butters as my brother (yes, my brother) uses the Mango variant through the years, he told me it is one of the FEW body creams that worked for him during winter season!

And today, I'm sharing more gift-giving ideas not because Christmas is coming (dude, it's still far away!) but, we don't need reasons to make our loved ones happy! 

Introducing, The Body Shop's Bestselling products and limited edition products just in case you love body butters and body scrubs as much as I do!

Initial Thoughts: The Cream Factory Bath Creams

Happy Monday AMW Friends!
I had a lovely weekend seeing my good friend got married!  Ah, weddings make me happy and I'm glad to witness such happy event!

Today and the rest of February will be very busy for me so my "me" time for now, aside from the time when baby AMW falls asleep will be bath time!  Seriously, I even had to rush myself at times just because I know there are so many things left to do before the day ends!  So when I got The Cream Factory Bath Creams from my Sampleroom family, it was a perfect excuse for me to stay longer inside the shower!  Come on, lathering up goat's milk bath cream is something you wouldn't want to rush doing!

L-R Goat's Milk & Honey, Goat's Milk & Seaweed 
Goat's Milk & Almond


 

I call this post an "Initial Thoughts" post because I only got to try Goat's Milk & Honey for now.

AMW Reviews: Olay Body

I have been a soap user for almost all of my life!  Most bar soaps I've used strips off the natural oil from my skin thus my skin condition is dry and flaky.  Finding the right soap bar is difficult, though I prefer using them especially when I'm' on a rush!

Recently, I got Olay Bars from Olay Philippines and Yehey!  I was a bit hesitant as I've seen and used so many bar soaps in the past that has "moisturizing" written all over but none of them actually work!  But a test is a test, they smell too good to resist anyways!  I can always depend on my trustee Neutrogena Body Oil after shower.


Olay Body says ---
3 Variants:
OLAY Age Defying Bar. Each bar is formulated with creamy, OLAY lather.

OLAY Fresh Reviving. It goes beyond cleansing, delivering OLAY deep moisturizers to the skin while helping to wash away dry surface cells. So after you dry off, all that's left is skin that feels clean and revived.   



OLAY Ultra Moisture is specially formulated with creamy, OLAY lather and Shea Butter. It goes beyond cleansing, delivering OLAY deep moisturizers to the skin while helping to wash away dry surface cells. So after you dry off, all that's left is skin that feels clean and petal soft.


AMW says (for Ultra Moisture and Age Defying)---

Pros
  • scent is really good and addictive, not too strong
  • skin feels smooth and moisturized
  • can actually survive without body lotion
  • does not melt quickly, one 120g bar soap lasts for almost a month (daily use)
  • body feels clean without dryness
  • texture is really smooth
  • inexpensive
Cons
  • none at the moment

Overall
I've finished up the Age Defying and Ultra Moisture variant and both did not fail me. I will actually start using the Fresh Reviving variant tomorrow.  What I like about the Olay soaps is that they don't melt fast as compared to other moisturizing soaps and they are very smooth on skin.  Texture feels like butter and it does makes my skin soft to touch even without body oil or lotion.

Of course at this early stage, the Age Defying can't be seen instantly, as the effect of most products come in long term.  But I have a positive feeling with this :D

Tips
  • if your skin is super dry or gets exposed to air conditioner the whole day, always follow up with your favorite body lotion 
  • do not forget to use sunscreen to protect your skin
  • use a soap dish and make sure to keep it dry AT ALL TIMES to prevent soap bars from melting fast
  • alternate all 3 variants so you won't feel bored with the scent of your body soap
  • if you plan to use this for your face:  test it on one cheek only to see if you are allergic to this, sensitive skin can be allergic to the fragrance of the soap
  • you can store the soap bars in your dresser for your clothes to smell clean and  good!
Will I repurchase?
Yes!

Where to purchase and how much?
At leading department stores and groceries for Php45.00 (approx $1.00) for 120g bar.

After finishing the 3 variants from Olay, I actually have other bar soaps to try and finish up!
But this product did not fail!
Have you tried this bar soap?  Like it?  Hate it?

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

Askmewhats Version: My Late Heatherette Look

Shocked with the title? LOL I know MAC Heatherette is "so last year", but I can't help but play with it because I haven't had the chance to do a look using this palette :)


To those who don't have this palette, do not worry as most colors are "dupe-able" :)

Here's my very simple,
Easy-to-do
Daily Heatherette Look



And here's Askmewhats Diagram!




Before I do the steps below,
I applied NYX Jumbo Pencil in Yogurt
all over lids




Step 1:


Using an e/s brush, pat on Hoppin', or any shimmer pink e/s on the inner corner of the eye.





Step 2:


Swirl a small crease brush and blend with Mood Ring on the center of the eye.



Step 3:


Using any blending brush, apply Cloudburst on the outer V of the eye, making sure not to apply too much and slowly build on the color. Be careful with this as this can make your eye makeup look dirty.

Using a smaller crease brush, apply the same color to the lower lashline, around 3 fourths. Do not go all the way.



Step 4:


Apply P&J Face Color043 on the browbone and my favorite inner corner of the eye for wide eyed look.


Finish with Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide on Liner in Zero
Curl your lashes and apply Lancome Virtuose Mascara



Of course, you must fill in your brows.
You can check out old tutorials
on what I used for brows





And the rest of my face?

The Body Shop Mineral Foundation no. 2



The Body Shop's Cheek Color
in Warm Copper



NYX Herades
Topped with Bath & Body Works Gloss
in Gold Dust



HELLO!!! :D


Note: e/s on the right side looks like it doesn't match the left one
I swear they both match!
my eye has just recovered from eye allergies
so I lost the eyelid on that eye
Still cute I believe, according to my MOM LOL!!!
It is indeed a quick look!
Use any light colored e/s and darken your crease!
Use a nice flush on the cheeks and prettify your pout!
You're all ready to go!
Happy Humpy Wednesday!
Stay Happy!

Just Got Lucky!

Just when I thought I ran out of luck until the end of the year. Surprisingly, right before the year 2008 ends, it ended with a BLING!!!

I am happy for a dear blogger friend Toma of the Makeup Masala when she finally launched her own site. She's always been generous with giveaways and contests and I've had my fair share of luck in the past and I can't ask for more.

That's why I can't believe when I got an email from her saying I won Bath & Body Lipglosses! I actually cannot remember joining anything. Well, aside from her monthly giveaways, she does give out cool beauty stuffs for people who sign in her Forum. Hmmm..you've got a great place to hang out and you get a chance to win something? Isn't that cool?
