Charm by Nature Essentials Hydrating Matte Lipsticks Review

If you are into "Instagram Shopping", you've probably heard about the Organic Brand Nature Essentials.  I've written about their products a couple of times HERE and HERE and after the success of their makeup line, they finally came up with their own makeup brand called Charm by Nature Essentials.

Thanks to the brand for letting me try their newest line of lip products called Charm By Nature Essentials Hydrating Matte Lipstick.

Housed in a simple matte black packaging with brand name printed in Pink, let's get down to business and see how their shades fair and if they perform well.

I got 5 shades, 3 are on the nude/brown side

white the other 2 are on bright side.  Deep red and purplish red.

Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Cow Cow Ice Is Here!

If you've been to Japan or have friends who've been to Japan, you've probably heard or seen people ask for "pasalubong" in a form of Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory.

I was lucky enough to try this way before it arrived our country because... "pasalubong" !  #lol

So once I heard it's finally here, I was so happy because I don't need to save up on each pack (or box) and just go ahead and satisfy my cravings!

Just when I thought I'm satisfied with the fact that the cookies are here, with choices of Salt and Camembert, Honey and Gorgonzola, Porcini and Gouda.  

Elizabeth Arden Red Door Speed Services

Everybody's on a rush nowadays even I can't spend more than 2 hours of "me time" just because I have to accomplish multiple tasks in a day plus I have to take in consideration traffic hours thus I spend most of my time driving instead of relaxing.

For a tired mom like myself or any tired person in general, I am sure we appreciate those mini "window of free time" to rejuvenate ourselves.  To some, it is shopping, while others go for a quiet time inside a coffee shop.  As for me, I like to do some pampering but with limited time.

Elizabeth Arden recently launched The Red Door Speed Services at Trinoma and I am so excited to have tried the services on my own.

Elizabeth Arden wanted to fulfill the total beauty needs of today's busy and active women, a team of beauty experts in store will be offering express services aimed to pamper, rejuvenate and relax consumer.

Here's the best part, The Red Door Speed Services are complimentary for Elizabeth Arden customers.

Let me guide you to the services they offer:

1. Booster Bar
Customized Oxygen Blast available in Lifting, Detoxifying, Brightening and Hydrating. This 15-minute spa refresher includes cleansing and toning, followed by a quick mist of customers’ preferred Oxygen Blast serum delivered via an airbrush stylus.

I've done this but was so relaxed I wasn't able to take a photo of it!  But it is worth every single minute because I can see my skin recharged almost immediately!

Cream Silk's Customized Solution + My New Hair Color

I color my hair "as long as I can remember".  

From boxed color treatment to having it done professionally at salons.  Given the chance that my hair could talk, well..let's not go there.

BUT, in my defense, I take care of my hair dearly!  I use conditioner on a daily basis and use hair treatment at least twice a week.  

So imagine just how many tubes of conditioners I use up in a month?

That's why I was squealing with joy when I received Cream Silk's newest range called Customized Solutions.  I noticed that they also changed their packaging with more "relate-able" models as they are our country's well-known personalities (Heart Evangelista, Coleen Garcia, Nadine Lustre, Pia Wurtzbach, Yassi Pressman, Julie Anne San Jose, and Rachelle Ann Go.)

The 7 customized solutions covers all Filipinas' Hair Needs, from Standout Straight to Hair Fall Defense, Damage Control, Stunning Shine, Dry Rescue, Dandruff-Free and Color Protect. 

I'm sure like me,  you probably wanted to try ALL variants.

But since I color my hair a lot!  And I recently had my hair "Balayage-d" at HairShaft Salon, Podium, Fred Penales went all out with Ash tone Balayage.  My hair is extremely light with all shades of Ash and I can imagine my hair getting dry in a week's time!  SO I'm definitely arming myself with Color Protect Conditioner from Cream Silk and so far, the experience was wonderful!

My Second Nomination Composable Bracelet

If you follow me on Instagram and #AMWIgStories , you've probably seen me and fellow mommy Jackie picked our Nomination Composable Bracelets last May to celebrate Mother's Day.

After using it for 3 full months, I knew a second one won't hurt because I just love it so much!

I went for their newest collection called Bella La Vita (Life is Beautiful).  This is a special edition 30 years bracelet in steel and I love it that it comes with my favorite jewelry shade Rose Gold!

"Original Composable Classic bracelet in stainless steel with coloured PVD 9K rose gold finish and "Bella la Vita" Double Charm. Medium size: 17 cm. Available in 3 variants. Special Packaging. Made in Italy. This precious Made in Italy jewellery celebrates our 30th anniversary. The “Bella la Vita” bracelet, dedicated to those who, like us, believe that life is beautiful!"

To celebrate my beautiful life, I just added 2 butterfly dangling charms also in Rose Gold because it signifies how I mature to be a butterfly soaring high, chasing after one dream at a time!
