Chantecaille Fragrance Launch

I've been beauty blogging for a decade now and at the back of my head, I still have a couple of brands under my "wishlist" to available locally.  One of the brand is called Chantecaille, this brand is not only known for their makeup line but also their Rose De Mai skincare and Fragrances.  

The launch happened last week at the Art of Scent store, Shangri-la Mall.

CLIO Mad Matte Lipsticks

Are you looking for a very lightweight, very comfortable to the lips matte lipsticks?

I've found one for you!  Under the brand CLIO, they came up with their own version of matte lipsticks called Mad Matte and I have been addicted to them ever since I tried them for the first time on my lips.  (Wearing one now while typing this by the way!)

When you look at my photos below, you'd be surprised that my lips are at its' worst state!  Drying and extremely flaking!  I applied the Clio Mad Matte Lipsticks for photos without applying lip balm underneath, loving the result!

Have you found a favorite shade from the photo?  Let me help you decide if you can't take a pick!

Let's start with the packaging, boxed in a simple black packaging with colors that represents the lipstick shade.  Looks just like regular lipstick packaging right?

WRONG!  

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Dear AMW friends, I'll stop talking about food for the first time on a Sunday because today marks the first day of October.  As we all know, October maybe known for the month of Halloween Parties, or maybe, 13th month pay to some?  Or, a month that signifies how close we are to Christmas?  Or beer drinkers out there --- Octoberfest?  

For me, October is BCA month!  Thanks to Beauty Blogging I get to learn all these campaigns and one of them is from the brand very close to my heart because this brand heeled my crazy skin when I started blogging --- Clinique.

As we all know, Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women globally.  Thankfully, a beauty company Estee Lauder goes beyond physically beauty and approximately 150 million pink ribbons have now been distributed at the Estee Lauder Companies' beauty counters worldwide.  

This year is no different, but it is actually more iconic because The Campaign marks its 25th Anniversary #PinkRibbon25 (search them on Instagram for more information).   (Pink Ribbon 25 because 25 years ago, there was no Pink Ribbon,) 

With Kate Kathleen Reyes, Marketing Executive of Clinique Philippines.

I fondly call her my baby sister!

And what made this shoot even more fun?  When you do it with Blogger Friends who support the same cause as you!

Tiny Buds Rice Baby Powder Review

I first introduced to you the brand Tiny Buds HERE and I personally used their products on Kyle so many times!  One product that I must highlight is the Rice Baby Powder.  For years, I haven't used any baby powder on Kyle because I am a bit paranoid with all the negatives on baby powders I read online.  I mean, when we are talking about our little ones, it is always better to be safe than sorry!

But once Kyle reached "toddler" stage and he's been perspiring so much just like his dad, I knew I had to look for a brand that's natural and safe to use.  Thankfully, there are more and more brands/companies out there trying their best to answer the needs of moms like me!  I tried Tiny Buds  Tiny Buds Rice Baby Powder because it is made from real rice grains and as the company states, they are "Natural to the Tinyest drop".  

Tiny Buds Rice Baby Powder says ---

This Internationally awarded Tiny Buds Rice Baby Powder is the 1st baby powder made from 100% real rice grains. It is hypoallergenic and keeps baby’s delicate skin fresh and dry all day. Trusted by Pediatricians.

• No talcum powder & harmful preservatives

Why Collagen in Skincare?

Whether you are aging or not, it is very important to jumpstart your skincare routine so you don't have to worry about droopy or sagging skin, too oily skin, dark spots, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles!  

Sometimes, these skin concerns may appear as early as early 20s or mid-20s if you don't take care of your skin.  One important ingredient that is a building block of the skin's structure is COLLAGEN.

Let's talk about Collagen.

Collagen is naturally produced by our bodies. Unfortunately, as we age, coupled by stress and lifestyle choices, collagen production slows down or weakens.  Nourishing the skin with collagen can help address various skin concerns. 

Because Watsons, is aiming to be a one-stop shop for all health and beauty related products, they brought in their own brand of a simple and effective skincare solution under the Collagen by Watsons line.

This skincare concept is originally developed in Korea and has been dermatologically tested and proven to help boost the skin's natural collagen levels.  All products are designed with Tri-Collagen Complex, a unique formulation of three collagen moleculres working together, penetrating down to deeper layers of the skin as it purifies, regenerates the skin cells and improves elasticity.

Best of all?  If the products are available in Watsons, you'll know that the retail brand strives to make their product affordable.  Stress-free on the outside, also on the inside!
