Esfolio Green Herb Sun Cream Relaxing Review

Japanese and Korean sunblocks are definitely my to-go-to sun care brand for years!  I don't mind using ANY brand for the body but I am very particular with my face sunscreen!  

Shiseido to Biore.  I can't believe I was able to find another one that works really well!

What's OUR requirements with face sunscreens?  

Non-greasy.  Lightweight-feel.  No White Cast on flash photos.  Works with makeup.  WORKS in sun protection.

I found it at Esfolio Green Herb Sun Cream!  And best of all?  I got more benefits using this product!  This actually relaxes my skin on every application and minimize redness.

The Pig Pen Restaurant Review

Two weeks ago, just when Christmas/New Years' rush is settling down, I've decided to book a Hotel at Nuvali Sta. Rosa Laguna for a quick family getaway/Staycation outside the city just to relax and rejuvenate ourselves after the crazy Christmas Break when Kyle got sick and we spent the holidays doing nothing but worrying about his health.

Thanks to my dear friend Marge who gifted me an overnight stay at Hotel Seda and it was one of the best place to stay with the family without the long drive!  It took us an hour and a half to arrive there.  The place was still packed but I like how Nuvali was developed in a way families can have fun even with the crowd.

I did a lot of research on some good restaurants to try at Nuvali.  Pig Pen Restaurant popped on my browser.  Though I know they have a second branch at Makati, I didn't bother wanting to try it at Makati because we seldom head there....and of course TRAFFIC.

After spending time at an Arcade and Bookstore, Kyle was ready to eat and the place wasn't packed!  We immediately ordered the dishes recommended by the server.

Papadum (Indian Tortilla) Nachos topped with Beef

Php180.00

A pretty unique way to enjoy your nachos in my opinion.  The chips are a tad bit oilier than regular nachos but they are so crunchy you'll forget about the oil and just enjoy this appetizer!

SeeSea Dead Sea Minerals for the Body

I'm not sure if you heard about Dead Sea Minerals as a good ingredient for skincare.  I learned so much about them during another brand's launch called Mineral Flowers 8 years ago.  Unfortunately, the brand didn't make it so it was a nice surprise for me to find another brand with the same ingredients that comes from Mother Nature.

SeeSea Dead Sea Minerals

SeeSea Dead Sea Minerals offer a range of high-quality products formulated with Dead Sea minerals and developed in a state of the art laboratory. Powered by its innovative SEESEA Skincare Energizer (SSE) Complex, SeeSea skincare helps restore, renew, and rejuvenate skin suffering from disorders, thanks to its health-promoting Dead Sea minerals combined with powerful plant extracts indigenous to the region. Experience the healing properties of Dead Sea minerals with SeeSea Skincare.

These are more high-end products and after trying out their body-care products, I can understand why. 

Seesea Dead Sea Minerals Whitening Hand Cream

Php1,660.00

What I like about this product is how it can soothe and smooth the dryness of my hands.  I had issues recently with my hands and I treated it with medication thus my hands turn dry and wrinkly.  I took immediate action and use this every single night before going to bed and I honestly wake up with better looking hands.

Eureka Moment! The Original BeautyBlender is HERE!

8 years ago was the first time I touched the Original Beauty Blender when I was doing a shoot for a make up school I attended.  My foundation application has changed (for both myself and clients).  Through the years, I have this in my KIT and even repurchased this several times even with all the new brands coming in.

The Original will always be the original and mark my words for it!  It feels different and I can tell the difference even when blindfolded!

8 years after, imagine the happiness when The Original Beauty Blender is finally here in Manila?  Guys, not from resellers but officially distributed?  I was able to get 2 and they actually have other shades available!  (if you don't believe me, check out BeautyMNL!)

Revlon Colorstay Brow Crayon Review

Wow, a Brow Crayon?  A jumbo brow crayon?  I find it a bit challenging for a first-timer to use a brow pencil I can't imagine using something as big as this crayon (shown on photo below).  Why and how will this work out?

I, the ultimate beauty product tester gave the newest Revlon Colorstay Brow Crayon a try.  Yes, you'll hear it from me (I mean READ), it is difficult, weird for first few tries, but it's quite nice as the effect is like no other.  

Intrigued?  Read on please!
