Gluta-C with Kojic Plus Shower Salt Scrub and Acne Control Toner Review

Hi AMW friends!  Today, I will be giving my initial thoughts on 2 newest products from Gluta-C with Kojic Plus+ line which I got from Sample Room.

Gluta-C With Kojic Plus+ Shower Salt Scrub (Php164.75) and

Gluta-C With Kojic Plus+ Acne Control Toner (Php109.75)

Since I've tried other Gluta-C products in the past and haven't suffered any negative reactions using them, I am more comfortable in giving these 2 new products a try!  But keep in mind that I didn't use the toner fully because I personally do not have Acne Prone Skin and I only use it on days I needed to "spot treat" certain areas.  As for the Shower Salt Scrub, I come to terms with the idea of exfoliating both my face and body even with dry skin because it helps lessen the skin flakiness and it was highly recommended by skin experts to do so no matter what skin type you have!

Let's start with the Shower Salt Scrub which I used immediately after receiving this from Sample Room.

B. By Banila Pink Chou Cream Review

I have a lot of favorite Cheek Tints but there's ONE that I've been using constantly for the past weeks!  It is so easy to apply I can't believe it's even a cheek tint!  (As we all know, most Cheek tints are easy-to-apply but they tend to require Flash-like fingers and hands).  With this particular one, I can actually take time in blending and applying and have a non-blotchy cheek color so natural you wouldn't know I have something on!  (Beware guys!  Another trade secret from us girls! :P)

B. By Banila Water Cheer Water Cheek

Shade: Pink Chou Cream PK02

Php595.00 (approx $12.30)

A liquid cheek tint with a powdery finish that gives a natural-looking blush. Lightweight, buildable and is best paired with a cushion foundation.

Bata Shoes for the Family

For a super busy individual (yes, I use the term individual as Mom and Blogger is just 2 of the many hats I wear on a daily basis!)  Buying gifts during the holiday rush is one of my least favorite activity!   As much as I love shopping, I do most shopping online because I just dislike the crowd!

But some things are meant to be seen and touched especially if you want to buy something extra special for your loved ones!  So I found a store that can actually satisfy the "Family List"!

I took rounds inside the Bata Philippines Store at SM Makati and took notes on the perfect gift ideas for each family member, of course, these are just my suggestions, you can always mix-and-match based from their personality and likes!

For Moms

Moms do not have to look like they are meant to stay at home, for me, moms should always look fab because that's how I think every MOTHERS are --- FABULOUS!

So the New Arrivals display of  bags and shoes are my gift-suggestions for the special woman in our lives!

Kate Tokyo Super Sharp Liner EX Review

How does eyeliner change the way your eyes look?

SO MUCH!

Aside from fixing my brows, I make it to a point to use eyeliner whether liquid pencil or gel on a daily basis!  Well, when we're talking about "on a daily basis" meaning: "RUSH" I always opt for Liquid Eyeliner because I can easily apply them in seconds (per eye) and rush out and look like I've done huge effort in making myself look presentable.

One of the few brands I depend on when it comes to liquid liners are: K-Palette and Lifeford.  And I think after trying this particular Super Sharp Liner from the Japenese Brand Kate Tokyo, I knew this has got to be part of my top 3!

Kate Tokyo Super Sharp Liner

Php660.00

Kate Tokyo has the "normal sized" liquid liner pen called Super Sharp Liner (minus the EX) and I have tried it in the past and it works really well!

But today, I am reviewing an EX version which means, more precise, sharper and just easier for me to draw a very thin and natural line and I also use this to create "fake lashes" to make my lashes both upper and lower part appear thicker.
