I have been non-stop complaining about my dry skin, and you know what? I've realized that I've got no one to blame but myself. I have been inconsistent with my body lotion application recently and I'm starting to get flaky skin again!
I suddenly remembered the Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair from my dear friend Toma, I think I won her giveaway early this year! Thanks to her, I am repurchasing a bigger size of this!

Overall
If not only because of the other lotions I own, I would stick to this without any problem! I actually have a lot of favorite moisturizing lotion for the moment and this definitely is included in my list of "favorites!" <--- can I say "Moisturites?" lol If there's such a word..this is definitely a MOISTURITE of mine!
I love that the scent is not overpowering and I love that it can really relieve my dry skin. I may not suffer eczema like other people but when my dry skin attacks, it itches like crazy and I can swear that too much scratching can give me the bad rashes! This really helps relieve my skin big time and if you look at the above photo closely, I finished up the tube already and I took a photo of it with NOTHING inside!!!
Yes, it's worth the price and yes, Our Skin Is Worth It!!!

Since I'm done with this! And I am sure I am loving this! I am currently using the Korress Body Butter from lovely Cris. And as early as now, I can say the Korress Body Butter is also part of my "Moisturite"!
Mascara, mascara... how much I need thee but how lazy I am to use thee... When fairy godmother waved her mascara wand... ahem...Oscillating Mascara Wand... I have to take a closer look... and give it a try...will it be happily ever after for me and my lashes?
Lancôme Oscillation says ---
7000 oscillations per minute
Press the button and experience a breakthrough sensation in application. In one easy new gesture, let the vibrating brush combined with an exquisitely smooth formula wrap every lash up to 360°.
Instantly see a fascinating gaze: lashes appear ultimately extended, remarkably separated, and virtually multiplied in number.

Pros
love the size of the brush, perfect for my lashes
as compared to other oscillating mascaras: I love that I have control on the on and off switch
no more wiggling
I find this perfect to use on other people especially clients who have very short lashes, I don't need to wiggle much which may cause mascara to be scattered all over her eye area.
because of it's nice length, I don't even need to curl the lashes especially on mature clients who hates eyelash curling.
lengthen the lashes, curls it even without using the curler
no smudging
the wand is not too wet as compared to other mascaras
I seriously love the brush of this mascara! It's perfect for my lashes!
Cons
battery died down on me in less than 3 months :(
battery super difficult to remove
pricey as compared to other mascaras
clumps a bit (but this can be fixed by brushing my lashes again with a lash comb)
Overall
Did I ever tell you I'm a lazy mascara user? I can easily go through full makeup and forget about putting on mascara...I know I know...don't blame me..it's just..me!
Ever since I started using the Lancôme Oscillating Mascara, using mascara daily is something I look forward as I'm enjoying the "ticklish" sensation on my lashes and how much it lengthen my non-existent lashes. Come to think of it, the reason why I'm lazy to put on mascara is because I'm lazy to curl my lashes! And using this mascara can let me get away without curling my lashes which is a plus factor! :)
The only downside? I don't know why but the battery of my Oscillating Mascara died down just this morning and I haven't even used it daily and it's definitely less than 3 months :( Sadness!
Tips
no need to wiggle, just apply starting from roots slowly going to the tips
apply 2-3 coats as many as you like depending on the "type" of lashes you want
if you still find that this mascara clumps your lashes, use a mascara comb and gently comb your lashes through...perfect de-clumping method!
if your battery died down same as mind, you can purchase LR44 battery.
Will I repurchase?
If this mascara is on discount! (yes, cheapo Nikki strikes again)
Where to purchase and how much?
At Lancôme Boutique Greenbelt 5 for Php1,995 (approx $42.00)
A close up look at the on & off button
Thanks to the hubby Here's to show you how to change the battery
Do you think your lashes are worth oscillating? Or would you go for regular mascara? Keep smilin' Stay happy!
Because something has happened here that cannot be explained. If miracles are defined as unique events that appear inexplicable by the laws of nature, then surely Crème de la Mer is a miracle. For here is the crème that will truly change the way you see yourself, the crème that has inspired a devoted following.
THE ACCIDENT
Crème de la Mer was conceived under extraordinary circumstances. Years ago, aerospace physicist Dr. Max Huber suffered a horrific accident – a routine experiment exploded in his face – covering him with severe chemical burns. Neither science nor medicine offered sufficient promise of help, so Huber decided to help himself. Twelve years and six thousand experiments later, he perfected the crème that would help give skin a dramatically smoother appearance.
THE FORMULA
Crème de la Mer defies the laws of nature. At the heart of the Crème is a highly potent Miracle Broth™. There is nothing miraculous about its ingredients – sea kelp, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, lecithin, Vitamins C, E and B12, plus oils of citrus, eucalyptus, wheat germ, alfalfa and sunflower. For Huber, it wasn’t the ingredients but the way those ingredients were distilled that made all the difference between a good moisturizer and a small miracle. No doubt, Huber understood the ancient science of fermentation. He discovered that an amazing thing transpired as these ingredients journeyed from individual components into a nutrient-rich Miracle Broth™ -- a process that took 3-4 months to complete. The ingredients did indeed transform into a whole far greater than the sum of its parts. Vital energies were spontaneously released and through this slow bio-fermentation process, Crème de la Mer was born.
Gradually, but perceptibly, the amazing happened. The skin’s appearance was miraculously improved, just as Huber hoped. It became softer, smoother, more supple. Today, Crème de la Mer’s Miracle Broth™ is manufactured by the same slow, meticulous bio-fermentation process created by Dr. Max Huber. This extraordinary Crème must be individually hand-filled in order to sustain its delicate balance.
THE MIRACLE
For us schooled in logic, Crème de la Mer is something of a jolt to the imagination. But facts are facts and certainly the proof can be seen on the faces of those who use it. In a short time, skin becomes softer, firmer, looks virtually creaseless. Aging lines and pores are noticeably less visible. Even the driest of complexions are healed. Sensitivities are soothed. And, of course, there are also those who insist it has produced astonishing results—as Dr. Max Huber himself witnessed. No wonder many who have tried every cream available remain steadfast in their devotion to Crème de la Mer.
THE SECRET
Crème de la Mer’s Miracle Broth™ is suspended within its extraordinary formula. To activate the broth and release its key ingredients, warm a small amount between your fingertips. As you pat onto clean, dry skin, you will instantly feel the soothing effects of the broth. Smooth over face, neck end under the fragile eye area. Apply day and night – for a lifetime.

The Lifting Face Serum
A totally new and paired approach to reawakening the appearance of youth, The Lifting Face Serum and The Lifting Intensifier are designed to work in synergy, immediately and visibly lifting the skin and restoring clarity and brightness.At the heart of The Lifting Face Serum and The Lifting Intensifier is a rare blue algae that flourishes in pristine waters fed by ancient glacial waters and underground springs.

The Eye Concentrate
This concentrated, ultraluxe eye treatment quenches and conditions impressionable skin. The Eye Concentrate significantly reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, lines and wrinkles, encouraging the eye area to look and feel healthy, supple and luminous as never before.
The Eye Concentrate is infused with three unique forms of Miracle Broth™: the original, a concentrated form and a new, encapsulated form designed to optimize continuous release to the skin. Known for its healing energies, the Miracle Broth™ infuses skin with the energy it needs to focus on renewal.
The Eye Concentrate works in tandem with a specially-engineered, silver-tipped applicator which helps cool the skin, immediately improving micro-circulation. Rich in hematite, a naturally magnetic mineral known for its energies, The Eye Concentrate works over time to dramatically dissolve the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. The eye area appears healthy, more vital.
Improving clarity and discoloration, an exclusive marine ferment penetrates the skin with a powerful wave of activity. The appearance of discoloration and unevenness is dramatically diminished. Skin that looks tarnished and dull regains a healthy radiance and brightness as it is brought back to its most luminous center.
Improving tone, The Eye Concentrate utilizes a wealth of precious marine and plant ingredients to help skin reinforce its natural support system. Skin that has lost its elasticity and suppleness is gently smoothed and toned, vastly reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Stamina and resilience are greatly restored. A wealth of anti-oxidants defends the eye area against future damages.

A photo of soft skin intrigues not only us women but also the opposite sex!
When Johnson & Johnson launches the Johnson's Body Care, its first body care brand with a complete line of skin care products especially made to address the universal desire of women to achieve soft, beautiful skin... I have to be there!
The event at WhiteSpace, Makati was hosted by the beautiful Ms. Karen Pamintuan, wearing a Debbie Co number.
We were told that as woman matures from teenage to adulthood, our skin also changes which leads to deterioration of the baby soft and smooth skin that we used to have. Luckily, the brand we trusted since childhood, Johnson & Johnson has a new solution to maintain and enhance the adult woman's skin softness as it introduces Johnson's Body Care, a brand of body care products made specifically for the modern woman's unique skin care needs in 3 variants:
24 Hour Lasting MoistureMelt Away StressNaturally White
With three lotion and body wash variants to chose from, Johnson's Body Care products provide women with the cleansing and moisturizing needed to nurture out skin's softness.
With Metro Manila's top fashion and beauty icons, and media personalities in attendance, the Johnson's Body Care line was presented through a fashion show even in partnership with Preview magazine. The runway showcased some of Manila's young female designers presenting exquisit pieces that used soft, sheer fabrics in shades of white, blush and nude. The show underscored the importance of pocessing soft beautiful skin to complement one's fashion choices, be it casual, chic and trendy, or formal.

Wonderful food from Cibo
It was my pleasure to meet Liz for the first time! Love how glowy your skin is in person!
Good day everyone! I am in the mood because mom's checkup was ok, thanks to the wonderful friends who messaged me to wish me and my mom well! :) God bless your hearts!
Weekend Food tripping time! A time to make everyone salivate reading this post! If you're not into Chinese food, you are safe this weekend! lol
The weekend food tripping is not a familiar place to everyone. But if you're a techie person who loves to go to Gilmore to shop for computer stuffs, you'll know this place!
The Big Little Store, correct me if I am wrong, started out as a small Chinese grocery store who carries a lot of authentic Chinese stuffs you see in Downtown. They are famous for their "fresh lumpia" (similar to spring rolls). The eventually expanded as people are starting to flock to their place as they gained popularity!
They've decided to expand and now serves more Chinese delicacies from Fresh Spring Rolls to Siomai, noodles, and others! I've dined in here a couple of times as my hubby's "Shopping haven" is located at Gilmore!
Maki Mi (approx Php100 or $2.08)
Maki Mi may sound Japanese to you but this is 100% Chinese dish. Maki Mi is a dish that contains pork and noodles (Maki= Pork, Mi= noodles) with sticky sauce. Best if you pour in black vinegar for the "kicks". You'd probably think this looks yucky? Scroll down...
Mix them all and you see the noodles and the pork! Love it!
Siomai Noodles (approx Php100 or $2.08)
The Big Little Store are known for their Siomai, or Pork Balls. The famous Siomai together with noodles and soup? Warm happy tummy!
We added Pork BBQ to our meal (approx Php80 or $2.00)
Though The Big Little Store serves Chinese food, they also serve non Chinese Dish like BBQs, Pastas, etc... because they are gearing to food that are craved by people to be available in their very comfortable grocery/restaurant.
True to what their missions are.... Everything you crave can be found here... Even Ice Pops!
Picole Ice Pop
Dip PopsCookie Overload Nutty Blast
Php30.00 (less than $1.00)
Such a nice, cozy and comfortable ambiance! A nice place to relax your tired feet after all those techie stuffs! :)
