Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-Up Cream Review

What are Tone Up Creams?

Ask me right now because I'm definitely answering #lol

As opposed to moisturizers being well...ahm..moisturizers?  (Great job Nikki!)  Okay, seriously speaking, moisturizers are used to "hydrate" your skin.  So is a tone-up cream similar to the moisturizers we know?

Maybe...if a Tone-Up cream includes hydrating ingredients.  To set the record straight, Tone Up Cream works by brightening and evening out your skin tone.  That said, they usually contain brightening ingredients such as fruit extracts (as seen in this product from Innisfree!)

When do you apply such product?  Usually at the last part of your skincare - if you have dry skin like I do, you may want to finish up with your favorite moisturizer then use the Tone-Up Cream as a pre-makeup routine.

In layman's term, Tone-Up cream is what I call "correctors" for the face!  This helps even out your skin and create brighter looking complexion especially for those with sallow skin.

Innisfree came up with their own Tone-Up Cream last year and I was able to test this out a couple of times before I write a decent review.

Priced at Php1,250.00 locally, this is under the Jeju Cherry Blossom line and what I like about this cream is the added moisturizing properties!  The product comes in a tub like on photo and it has an almost gel like texture which is perfect for our weather.

To some who like the more natural effect of "whiter looking skin", Tone-Up Cream from Innisfree is the way to go because it gives instant brightening effect immediately or on first use.  I like to apply all over my skin evenly using my clean fingers and massage through with a patting motion after.

Centro Holistico Experience (First-Timer's POV)

For the life of me, I'd rather be in pain rather than go to a hospital or clinic!

That explains why you never see me talk about going to hospitals (for myself), I am usually there for my parents!  

Why this strong, fearless woman *ahem ME* seems to be scared to go to hospitals for check-ups?  Well, if you are a new reader you may want to backread my story on How I Almost Lost My Mom, after that, our family suffered 4-5 more years as my mom went through Clinical Depression.  

So what am I doing at Centro Holistico?  

Firstly, I am turning 41 years old this February!  *shucks*  When I started Blogging, 40 seems so far away but look at me now!

Secondly, after constant research, Centro Holistico does not feel like your regular hospitals and clinic yet they house group of medical doctors that are in the practice of Integrative Medicine.  Best of all, they don't discriminate traditional and western medicines, they just go for theories and treatments that would work for YOU.  In short, everything is personalized.

Best of all, during consultation, you feel like you're talking to a friend, not just a doctor.  They ask about your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being which explains why I feel so at home right off the bat!

Let me walk you through how my consultation and first-time visit went earlier.  If you are too lazy to read, feel free to watch this short #AMWIGtv that I did.  If you have time (I hope you do) feel free to scroll further down to read about the start of my Holistic Journey.

My HairMNL Experience

Before I heard about HairMNL.com , I purchase my favorite Kerastase products inside my favorite salons!  Truth be told, there are many times I find it such hassle to go to a mall just to purchase my favorite shampoo, conditioner and hair treatment!  So when I found out about HairMNL website, I am super ecstatic because I can easily repurchase my favorite hair products at the comforts of my home.  

Yes, you heard that right, professional salon care products accessible with expert hair and scalp care advise all done online for FREE!

I'm sure a lot of you are asking about the "FREE CONSULTATION" right now, it is done via Facebook Messenger so start off by LIKING them on Facebook.

So I did that consultation and got myself a package with products shown on photo above!

And what I love about the service is that, I got the curated products meant specifically for my hair and I have extra notes on product description and how to use them!

I have been using Kerastase products ever since I started Blogging which was 12 years ago, there are so many times I tried to read instructions but I never get to really understand the product usage and product description by just reading the back of the bottle.  With HairMNL, I get everything set out straight!  I knew what each product was meant for and how to use it to achieve #hairgoals !

Club Clio Simply Pink Look

How I missed these Photo-torials!

If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen a couple of my makeup looks tutorial on #AMWIGtv , shameless plug ahead, if you are into visuals follow me there!  If you love the old school photo-torial...I am still here!  

I recently created Club Clio Simply Pink Look, as simple as that, I called the look that way because I used a Club Clio Simply Pink eyeshadow palette!  

How do you like it?

A friendly note from me, if you are into wild and highly pigmented shadow looks, this palette aren't for you!  This is best for those who are into Korean/Japanese makeup looks - subtle, young-looking and just carefree! Not much blending or thinking to worry about, you just apply the shadows you think would look good on you and go with the flow!  As free as that!

Club Clio Simply Pink Palette consists of..well..err...various shades of "subtle" pink, I have to put subtle out there because if you are aiming for HOT PINK ala Madonna, you won't find it here ! You get subtle pink in dfferent finishes though!
