Choose Simple Skin Commitments + Join the Contest!



It is a great reminder from our friends from Cetaphil Philippines when they launched a campaign to educate Filipinas how to easily achieve healthy skin called Choose Simple Skin Commitments.

The campaign is telling us women that one's skincare routine need not to be complicated.  True to that!  I may be a Beauty Blogger who have so many skincare products to try but I always choose to simplify everything!  Use products that my skin needs and always focus on 3 important steps: Cleanse, Moisturize and Protect.  And the rest we may add and follow but the major steps should always be there.

My bare skin.  Not perfect but I still love it as it is! :D


Of course, it's never to late to take care of your skin!  Note girls, lesser skin problems, lesser makeup!

First step: Cleanse
The most important step of all!  Cleansing should be done in NO hurry!  This is the step were we get rid off dirt, oil, dead skin cells and others that could damage our skin.  Your cleanser should never be drying on skin, it has to be harsh to unwanted pollutants but gentle on skin!

Maybelline Fashion Brow Duo Shaper is Surprisingly Good!



I've had the Maybelline Fashion Brow on my dresser for months now!  I realized, on days I am in a hurry, I tend to pick this up and just fill in my brows with both the pencil and powder and I'm ready to go!  I can even skip my favorite Brow Mascara!

The Maybelline Fashion Brow Pencil is called an all-in-one pen for brows!  The uniqueness about this is that, the pencil portion contains 0.2 mm micro lead fixing pencil that makes it very convenient and easy (even for first-time makeup wearers) to fill in brows with minimal to almost no mistakes!  

On the other side is the pointed sponge applicator to fill in brow powder!  This smudger reminds me so much of the Maybelline Color Sensational LipGradation, same smudger sponge but a tad bit smaller.

Join Catching Butterflies: Spotting the Symptoms of Thyroid Disorders in Children!




I used to brush of "any kind of sickness" like I'm INVINCIBLE!  The "I don't care about getting sick" attitude quickly dissolved the moment I turned into a mom!  I find myself reading about more about health topics on both online and offline (books!)  

So when I received an email regarding ITAW or International Thyroid Awareness Week, I knew I had to share it to YOU.

If you don't know by now, Thyroid disorders affect millions of Filipinas.  ONE in 11 Filipino adults has goiter and around ONE in 12 Filipino adults suffers from some form of thyroid disease!  Worst, it is estimated that 8 out of every 1,000 children worldwide are affected by thyroid disease..





As we all know, prevention is better than cure but personally speaking, KNOWLEDGE is also important!  The International Thyroid Awareness Week is the perfect opportunity for everyone (parents or not) to learn more about how the thyroid gland and the thyroid disorders affect one's metabolism.  

L'Oreal True Match Genius 4-in-1 Primer Foundation Concealer Powder Review




I talked about this new L'Oreal True Match Genius 4-in-1 Primer, Foundation, Concealer and Powder on my social media accounts and most of you requested for a review right away!  I did my best and used it even though the shade doesn't match me that well!  Weird how it looks oh-so-perfect on pan but once applied, it looks a bit light on me but nothing a bronzer and darker setting powder can't do!  Although for the sake of review, I actually went out wearing JUST this to test its' longevity.

Yes, for you guys, I can go out with a foundation that doesn't match my neck!  If you don't call that true love, I don't know what :P

Shade: G1 Gold Ivory
I have always been a "beige" girl so the gold maybe perfect fit for me but the Ivory puts the shade a bit off a bit!  Nothing too alarming, but I just have to put on a disclaimer!

The slim compact is retangular-shaped, comes with a small mirror and a sponge.
