Dove Deo Cares




That awkward stage when you first had your period then you are starting to grow hair on unwanted places.  I remembered around 12 years old, right after I got my period, I started to see a strand (or 2) of armpit hair (gosh!  TOO MUCH INFORMATION!)  But oh well, that's the truth!  I remembered rushing to my older sister (thank goodness I have older sister to lean on to!) and we even scheduled a bonding time after dinner for her to pluck that 2 strands of hair!  

Of course, puberty kicks in and that 2 strands multiplied into a number I couldn't imagine!  Okay, it wasn't a "lawn" but some aren't visible to the naked eye!  That's when I first purchased my "pink shaver" from a health store. Ahhh I remember how I felt so "mature" and a "full-pledged woman"!

Fast-forward to today, there are so many ways to remove unwanted hair.  With all the options, I still find myself going back to my trustee shaver especially since I don't have time to book an appointment outside!

Now, shaving maybe the quickest, easiest, least painful way to remove unwanted hair, did you know that shaving also takes off 1/3 of your skin?  ALong with your hair, shaving takes away the top-most-layer of your skin leaving it raw, sensitive and prone to further damage.  

That leads to bumpy, dry and dark underarms!

For women like me who can't give up shaving at times, it is good to pick a deodorant that will help soothe and repair damage caused by shaving!  

Thanks to my Sampleroom family for sending these Dove goodies and you girls can try before you buy! 

Dove Deodorant have 1/4 moisturizing cream and been formulated to moisturize underarm skin while protecting it with its gentle, skin-loving ingredients.  I also love how my underarm does not darken as compared to not using Dove at all!

My favorite Dove Deo is their Original Whitening Stick Deodorant

Ready, Set, Glow with Watsons and AMW!



If you can see my dark undereye circles peeking through concealer and foundation --- please, do not judge me!  I have a full packed 24-hour day!  I get approximately 4-5 hours of sleep (max) with wakeups in between to check my son!  "I have a jam-packed day" is definitely an understatement.  I almost need to schedule my shower time let alone have a me-time like this!

Kate Double Eyelid Remake Liner - Best Product to Define Your Crease




If you watched enough Youtube makeup videos and read enough makeup blogs, you probably mastered the art of creating defined crease or how to create fake crease from scracth.

Aside from makeup, we can also create fake crease or defined crease with the help of eyelid tape or glue.  (Ex. K-Palette Real Lasting Mega Cute Double Eyelid Glue and Tape)  Some of you may think the effect could be unnatural or it is just too much of a hassle to apply, TADAH!  I'm sharing one of the EASIEST way to define your crease with just a SINGLE STROKE! 

Hail to KATE Double Eyelid Remake Liner!
Available in 1 color only
Php550.00 (approx $11.70)

When I first got this, I almost tossed this aside because who would like to draw a fake line on top of your current crease?  The effect will definitely be a major "makeup disaster".  So just for fun, I "Snapped" (using SnapChat) a video of me using this for the first time.

And I was floored!!!  Now before sharing photos, let me start by sharing more details about the product.

Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Nourishing Facial Water Review



Half a month ago, I attended the launch of Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Nourishing Facial Water under the Intense Hydration line.  Without a doubt, you all know this line is made for me --- normal or sometimes combination skin with dry patches.  So I immediately injected this to my current skincare regimen!  After half a month, I'm ready to share my initial thoughts.

Now a quick question for you my dear readers, who doesn't like hydration in a form of water?  Well, companies are finally understanding the need of consumers for products that are close to nature --- aside from the fact that it feels like "water", the IH Nourishing Facial Water is 99.0% natural which gave me that instant attraction!
