#KathXHappySkin Launch



Kathryn Bernardo dropped a "makeup bomb" when she added a new title to her growing list of achievements.  She collaborated with Generation Happy Skin for her own line.  This collection is pleasing to the eyes because the packaging exudes a youthful and simple look.  The pastel packaging gives off a minimalist vibe which is what Kathryn embodies --- a very simple girl.

That's not all, Kathryn Bernardo represents Morena and she anted every shade in Generation Happy Skin to flatter a wide range of skin tones.  And because she wanted to reach out to EVERYONE, the price points are lower and nothing is above Php499.00!

Claudia Schiffer Blusher Blush Review



An easy pick-me-upper makeup, when you don't have time to do your brows and maybe apply eyeliner or eyeshadow is --- BLUSH!

Applying a good colored blush that complements your skin will make people focus on your cheeks!  Just like this blush from Claudia Schiffer! 

Of course, having a perfect base will make your blush appear even better but just in case you're in a rush, try this!

Nail Art Tutorial: Falling Petals by Happy Skin Express Gel Polish x KC



KC Conception is an Actress, TV host, Jewelry Designer and so much more. 
I am not surprised when she collaborated with Happy Skin Gel Polish to create her own collection.  I mean this girl is a Jane of all Trades!  

So I got my hands on the two shades from the limited edition collection.  These shades were personally chosen by KC herself inspired by her favorite flower: The Rose. 

I created a very simple nail art design inspired from the bottle and the design printed.

I call this Falling Petals.

Step 1:
Apply 2 coats of Beauty.  Beauty is a luxurious apricot color, a striking modern nude.

The polish itself gives off high shine.  1 coat is enough to cover your nail base but I always like 2 coats for extra boost of color!  Let dry.

CRE8SKIN Salmon Oil Cream Review




An all-in-one skincare product that targets dryness, darkness, wrinkles, dark circles, spots and even freckles?

Sign me up for that!

If you are into Korean Skincare products, you've probably heard about this brand.  As for me, this was new to me so I did research prior to testing this out.

This product is said to be used on the last step of your skincare regimen.  Before I talk further about my experience using this, what is Salmon Oil and how does it help your skin?

Salmon Oil is rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Anti-oxidants like Vitamins A and E, these ingredients help slow down aging, cell damage and prevent wrinkles as it hydrates your skin.

The CRE8SKIN Salmon Oil Cream is housed in a gorgeous packaging.  Call it chic from plastic container to the packaging itself!  It is actually quite heavy and comes with a "spatula".

Only one of the world's top 10 super foods, salmon! Salmon is a product made from oil extracted from salmon. Salmon contains a large amount of omega-3, which is known to be good for preventing health and skin, namely, stinging, freckles and dark circles. In addition, salmon oil cream as a supplementary ingredient, salmon roe, Cayle (sturgeon), L22 (US patent) ingredients and seaweed is added together to maximize the efficacy of salmon oil. In addition to functional whitening and wrinkle enhancement, this product is excellent for prevention of dark circles, spots and freckles due to the salmon's characteristic properties. Moreover, it is enough to use this product without using eye cream around wrinkled eye area (80g) higher than the existing cream formulations of the same type without the lack of capacity, making it possible to concentrate on the whole face and around the eyes.
