Vida-C and Yobick Drinks

 

Things are looking up, I hope it gets really better this year.  But that said, we should continue to stock up on making sure we have the best immunity especially since it is already Level 1 in Metro Manila.


I am currently loving Vida C as my flavorited drink + Vitamin C booster.
Vida C is a soda that contains 1000mg of Vitamin C for better immunity.  It tastes like flavored soda and so far, it does not make my stomach acidity feel bad!


While Yobick, another discovery,  is a prebiotic yoghurt drink. Yobick doesn't have to be kept cold because it doesn't contain live lactobacilli. Prebiotics feed the good bacteria in our body which improves digestion and overall gut health.


I love both Original flavor and Sakura Flavor.

Philips Selfie Straightener Review

 

If you are a follower of my Blog for quite some time, you’ve seen me review different hair straighteners from the most inexpensive to a more expensive ones.  Various brands, various sizes - you all find them here.

And I never thought I missed a size of hair straightener that I didn’t own.  Or maybe, it was new?

Philips, known for their personal care brands, offers an inexpensive hair straightner called Philips Selfie Straightener.

WHY SELFIE?  I’m not sure but I guess it is a good-enough hair straightener size for you to be able to manage a nice hairstyle by yourself?


Philips Selfie Straightner 

Available at Lazada

Php1,890.00


I tested this flat iron for many times, doing straight hair, wavy hair and curler hair.  And true to its’ size, it is in between the smallest flat iron I own (which is around 12 inches) and the regular sized flat iron that are sole in the market for years.  This is around a whole face size - the size of this straightener goes from the tip of my forehead down to my chin.  And it is a simple smooth, black textured product with pink plates making this a cute addition in your dresser. 



The Iron has a curved side making it easy to do smooth curls.



Since this is a smaller hair straightener, it is best to note to section your hair in SMALLER section as compared to regular straightener.  Check out the amount of hair to perfectly creat waves or curls.  BUT, if you plan to straighten your hair, you can grab more

Becca Cosmetics Light Shifter Finishing Veil Review

 

I wear powder as base makeup more than anything else!  That said, I have hit the pan on a LOT of powdered foundation even during pandemic.  I like it that my skin feels fresh and less oily (on T-Zone) especially since I do a lot of household chores and have to go on Zoom meetings in between the day.

I recently discovered Becca Cosmetics Light Shifter Finishing Veil and I super love it!  Just take a look at this photo!  I look glowing even if my skin really isn’t!  

Becca Cosmetics Light Shifter Finishing Veil Review

Becca Light Shifter FInishing Veil comes in a gorgeous silver compact with a mirror but unfortunately, without a powder puff so you have to apply this using your own puff or brush.  I prefer to use the latter as the effect is more natural. I am unsure about the shade options but I think it only comes in ONE shade as VEIL usually are very light in coverage and the effect is almost unseen.  On pan, the colr is more of a pale yellow (good for warm undertone).  But I believe cool undertone users can still use this like I said previously, the effect is very light working like a translucent powder.

A photo of Becca Cosmetics Light Shifter Finishing Veil Review

If you are aiming for higher coverage base, this won’t make the cut, I almost do not see any coverage but what I see is the disappearance of excess OIL and a bit of BLURRING.  My skin looks more flawless and I like the “light shiting” powers —- look the subtle glow without the need for extra highlighting powder.

Becca Cosmetics Light Shifter Finishing Veil Review

I am unsure if BECCA Cosmetics are still widely available.  Maybe you can check this out on 3rd party retailers but so far, catch them if you can!



Do you prefer heavy coverage base makeup?
Or light and natural finish like this one from Becca?
