Pixi H2O Skintint Tinted Face Gel Review




Happy Friday!  Today, I will be reviewing a Tinted Face Gel from Pixi called H2O Skintint!  I didn't know why I didn't pick this up even when it's right in front of me for the past months!  I guess, I'm not the tinted moisturizer gal!  I've always been into concealer and powder foundation  especially during summer!

It was one fine "dry-skin" day that I've decided to test Pixi's H2O Skintint and I realized I've been missing out a lot!

Shade on review: No. 2 Nude


Now, after a couple of trials, I'm finally ready to spill the beans!  Who should purchase this product?  Does it give the coverage we all want?  Does it feel heavy on skin?  That will be answered...after the jump!

Hairshaft Balayage and Brazilian Blowout Review




If you follow me on Instagram (@AskMeWhats), you've probably seen this photo of me smiling THIS BIG while caressing my tresses!  hahaha Silly me, but that's how I feel whenever I touch my hair --- giddy AND silly!  I am so in love with my refreshed Balayage Ash Tone Brown Color which is a Signature Tone that I've done for the second time around at Hairshaft Podium under the magical hands of Fred Penales.

If you follow my "hair color" journey, you know that I've done a lot of hair coloring for the past years!  I've done "boxed treatment" (Hello Revlon and L'Oreal!), I've done random salon visits and recently, it was with HairShaft Salon that I got the MOST COMPLIMENTS!

Whenever I post photos of me reviewing a product or me endorsing ANOTHER product, readers tend to comment about my hair and ask what the color it is!  So today, is the day, I'm formally spilling the beans!  (May formal pa talaga!)  

I have to thank my dear friend Angela for introducing me to HairShaft Salon!  Given my busy schedule, I wouldn't go ALL the way to Podium to have my hair done if not because of the constant "Hair Date" invite from Lush Angel I had to give in!  (hehehe, napilitan pa talaga ako no?)  But seriously, I have to thank her for introducing me to the master of hair color Fred because I really love the result!  It was actually a planned hair-date with both Angela and Alyssa but we weren't able to take photos together!

Now let's talk about Hairshaft Salon, they have a branch at Podium, Fort and recently, I spotted a soon-to-be-opend HairShaft Salon on my turf!  Robinsons Place Ermita!  I haven't visited the other branches because I want to make sure Mr. Fred is there whenever I visit the Podium Branch.  Thankfully, he was there giving all smiles to ALL the customers no matter how jampacked the salon was when I visited last week!

Leaders Insolution Hydrogel Eye Therapy Patch Review




Years before sheet masks are a "hit" in our country, I have been constantly using them back when I work in China!  I would buy those sheet masks and even powdered masks and mix them at home and create my own "spa-time"  I love walking around Watsons in Hong Kong where I get to score unique and innovative beauty products.  One product that I tried is an eye patch and I remembered how uncomfortable it was to use!  The eye patch kept on slipping every second I don't think I got the relaxation I deserve.

When my favorite mask sheet brand Leaders Insolution came out with their own eye mask called Hydrogel Eye Therapy Patch, without second thoughts, I picked it right away!  With all the late night work and of course, random "toddler waking up moments", I knew I had to do something about my undereye circles, puffiness and darkness.

According to Leaders Insolution ---
This is a 20-minute eye gel that revitalises your eyes and reduces imperfections like dark circles, puffiness and fine lines.  Your skin absorbs the many nutrients which are loaded into each gel, so it gets an instant moisture boost and noticeable difference.

Happy 15th Zen Zest!




Definitely a gorgeous way to celebrate 15 years anniversary!  Congratulations Zen Zest!  
If you haven't heard or seen Zen Zest, you are probably living under the rock!  As for someone who seldom goes out to the mall, I always see their kioks around malls!  No matter where I go, I always see them, and I'm not surprised learning that today, they have over 100 outlets nationwide and abroad!

Now, that's what Filipinos should be proud of!



I was lucky to be invited to celebrate with Zen Zest at Le Petit Soufle for their 15th Year Anniversary Celebration.
