S&R Groceries Delivered Straight to Your Doorstep with Honestbee!




Do you shop a lot ONLINE like I do?
I shop for clothes, shoes, kids toys and even pay all my bills online!  That's how I manage the household without lifting my toes (just fingers!) 

One thing that I still do manually is to shop for groceries.  I go to the Supermarket at least once a week with a long list of items to be purchased.  It was fun the first few times but traffic gets crazy and the weather goes along with the crazy traffic --- I can't seem to enjoy that task anymore.


Thankfully, Honestbee, Asia's leading online concierge and delivery service, helps you shop for groceries and basic household needs in the comfort of your own home.  I've actually shopped at Robinson's Supermarket together with an Honestbee guy!  I've realized, why not try out their service?

Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude is the Newest Base I'm Starting To Love!






So you all know how much I love the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation!
I've tested it and written a review my blog and even tested it on #AMWIGstories once awhile back.


It delivers!  So I can't think of any other way the brand can top that!

Then I saw something new....well, it's technically NOT new as it has been around since a year or so but it is new to my eyes because it has been fixed to Double Wear Stay-in Place Makeup for quite some time now.  (Can't blame a loyal girl!)

So this is the Double Wear foundation that has been testing on staying power, oil-free and waterproof abilities and a nice lightweight finish.  They are all TRUE!


It isn't difficult by the way to find your shade because they have a TOOL to be put on your chin and other areas of your face to tell you the shade that would match your tone! 

Of course, after trying out the tool, swatch test is still the best step!  So I highly recommend to do both steps!

Eureka Moment: Daily Defense Argan Oil



Up until today, I am still addicted to hair care products!  I still get that giddy, excited feeling whenever I see, purchase or receive hair products.  Because up until today, I am still (and always will be) on the lookout for the best hair care products for my type of hair ----

Dry, Damaged, Frizzy, Sensitized hair.

Ang saklap, but that's the reality of my hair due to constant hair coloring, chemical treatment and almost everyday use of hairstyling tools!

Recently, my hair was really in its' worst shape!  Hair looks extremely dry, frizzy and no matter how many times I mask it with my favorite Argan Oil, it just won't work!  So I changed my shampoo and conditioner and used a new deep conditioning treatment too!

Eureka Moment because it actually puts my hair back to life even for 5-10%  (not bad na yun ha!)

Daily Defense Shampoo, Conditioner and Deep Conditioner

Exclusively available at Watsons

With a bit of research, I learned that Daily Defense is originally made famous by Clairol and Proctor & Gamble, the Daily Defense brand has been a trusted and consumer favorite for many years.  Now owned by CLT International, they maintain the same premium formulations using natural ingredients and botanical extracts.

The Argan Oil line is meant to help renew, replenish and add shine to hair.  It can also help minimize frizz and restore split ends.


True enough, after first use, I can immediately see and feel the difference.  My hair near the roots doesn't stay upright like before and they are less frizzy.  The ends are less dry and thankfully, my hair is easier to comb.  


The shampoo and conditioner is good but my ultimate favorite from the bunch is the Deep Conditioner.  Because that is the one product that I saw the most dramatic result after a week of usage!  I leave it for good 5-10 minutes with a shower cap massaging the product onto my scalp and concentrating more products on the tips of my hair were it tends to be frizzy and dry.

True enough, my hair feels softer to touch and thankfully, easier to comb! 

An added bonus on why I love such product?  HURRAH for color-treated hair users because these are available in Low-Sulfate and Sulfate-free formulas!  My hair color can last longer because the product won't strip my hair color making it look dull and flat!

For a brand that has been sitting quietly in stores, I guess, it's time I give it a spot and make it SHINE because it does work!

Please keep in mind though that it may work for me and not work as great on you because we have different hair texture and condition! :D

Do you have beauty-related Eureka Moments to share today?


Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
