If you finally found a feel-good formula for a lip product, you embrace it right away and wear it on a Monday!
That's how I felt when I first tried the newest Crushed Liquid Lip from Bobbi Brown.

By the time you are reading or "watching" this, you probably haven't heard about this or maybe, if you visit a Girlstuff kiosk, that's when you realize: "Oh! You guys have these!"
Because I was told by the brand that they haven't go all out announcing these newest products from because --- these press on nails are painted by REAL nail artists --- one by one so you get really nice quality nail art designs!
As for me, eventhough I was impressed with the designs, I've been very particular with my nails, they may look awful most of the time (hello Boxing and hello Cooking!) But, I know when to say no to products or services I think wouldn't match my lifestyle.
Such as press on nails! How can I work with these? Well, I'll tell you more about it after this short video. I recorded this video to show you how easy it is to apply this product even for first timers like ME!
I was able to wear these Girlstuff Press On Nails for about 4 days, why doesn't it last a week you say? Well, if I wanted it to last a week, I can actually wear them longer, I just felt like my nails was getting longer (yes, they grow fast) so there is a tiny gap below the press on nails making it difficult to "style" my hair! But yes, I was able to cook with them, do my usual workout routine (boxing!) and they stayed! Like seriously STAYED!
How to remove them? I was told just to soak my nails in warm water and gently pry off with a cuticle remover tool and thankfully, nails are still healthy and intact!
Do I recommend using these for busy moms? Yes and NO, yes when you have someone to meet or occasions to attend to and you just don't have enough time to do your nails or to go to a salon. NO - if you are extremely busy with your hands, it will be a bit of effort to have them on your nails for too long! (that's just me) But seriously, these nails are "kick ass" if I am allowed to use those words! They felt weird on first application but on the next hour, it felt like my own nails, I can type really fast with them and do my usual tasks with them without that awkward feeling! Best of all? I've got instant beautiful nails in less than 5 minutes!
Priced at Php450.00 a set, head on to any Girlstuff Kiosk and ask for these! Choose your favorite designs too and don't forget to show me your nails if you were able to try them!
When I received this huge crate of products and unboxed them, this moment brought me back to so many good memories! Most of us probably (in one point of our lives) used this brand, I even went back to this brand when I gave birth to Kyle!
Then several brands came in and it was the battle of the "gentlest skin and hair care products for our babies".
Thankfully, our loved brand Johnson's did not stop on this race, they came back with the gentlest ever range with the addition of new range --- JOHNSON'S Cotton Touch. This range I immediately spotted is the best hypoallergenic care for newborn sensitive skin because these are free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates and dyes and designed for ZERO irritation.
Why, thank you JOHNSON'S!!!
If you want to know the changes done, I've done a bullet-point for busy moms out there for our peace of mind --- (Note: These information was taken from JOHNSON'S and I am definitely testing these new range out!)
Purposeful ingredient choice: JOHNSON'S carefully considered every single ingredient in the range rejecting over 400 ingredients during reformulation. All the ingredients lists have been cut in half and replaced some ingredients in the process to make this new range totally free from parabens, phthalates and is now entirely free from sulfates and dyes.
Fragrances designed with mom and baby in mind: JOHNSON'S retained the iconic scents for their classic products and for the rest of the range with fragrance - these are formulated to be free of allergens.
Parent and environmental friendly packaging: these new bottles are equipped with pumps designed for easier and one-handed use for parents and have also been developed using a patented system that allows products to be biodegradable, nontoxic and will not bioaccumulate in the environment.
Products specially designed for every age and stage in a baby's life: I am grateful with their ACTIVE line which is perfect for Kyle! These products does not only cleanse and moisturize but there are some in other ranges that address special skin needs of babies. (4 stages: Original Category, Newborns straight from Birth, Active Babies on the Move and Independent Toddlers)
Happy Hump Day!
Since it's a hump day, you are probably in the middle of a rut and maybe....maybe..just like me, you have a huge eyebags and random zits (SUPER ME!) due to stress!
