The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Day Cream

 

As I said to my previous blog, Why You Should Start Moisturizing, ¨the key for a perfect make up is a perfect skin¨. And to achieve a baby soft perfect skin is a combination of various skin care products. 

Being a human, I really advice people to have a skin care routine. It is not only for women but also for men. Not only for those who wear make up, but for everyone. We should take care of our face as it is what we show first when we interact with other people.

What I like about The Body Shop is they have a variety of skin care products, make ups, etc., for all type of skin. And they are all cruelty free and made of natural ingredients. So you do not have to worry for they have the answer for all your worries. 

One of their product that I really love is The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Day Cream that is good for sensitive skin like me. People may keep on trying different products but just others, what is good for their skin may not be good for me and vice versa. So I really choose wise on products that I would be trying. Thankfully The Body Shop offers something that is really good for sensitive skin.

Living in a country that has 4 sessions is really hard. You need to adjust your skin care products every season for it may not be good for all these seasons. And winter is indeed my enemy. My face gets really dry that I cannot help and it always causes pimples on it. But thanks to Aloe Soothing Day Cream, I do not have to worry anymore for it moisturizes my face at its best.

Seeing the price, I can say it is indeed expensive. And maybe you would ask me why I am still using it. I have a very sensitive skin, and it has been years since I got an acne problem. So because of those issues, I won´t mind spending a little bit for my face if it helps me from my issues.

In the product itself says that it is a day cream, but if you want to save money, you can also use it as a night cream. 

What I Like

I really like how it moisturizes my skin at its best. And I can also use it as my night cream without spending too much.

What I Dislike

Of course, its price. It is really expensive for me . But I know, the price is worthy.

Is It Worthy?  

It is really worthy specially if you have a sensitive skin and acne problem. But if you don´t, you can try other cheaper moisturizing cream.

You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.

Sleek Matte Me Liquid Lipstick

 

It has already been years since liquid / matte lipstick became on trend. Of course, girls like me who are obsessed with make ups will definitely try them out! I tried variety of liquid lipstick, expensive and affordable ones. After trying a lot, I finaly found the one! And it´s already been almost 2 years since I am using it and I am not thinking of changing.

Sleek Matte Me Liquid Lipstick

Matte Me is a matte finish liquid lipstick that glides on in one smooth application, with no need for a second coat. The light as air texture provides you with comfortable wear for hours, that does not cake, flake or dry out, ensuring long lasting colour all day. -Sleek Official Website

I remember 2016 when a lot of youtubers became obsessed with this liquid matte lipstick, you might already watch a lot of reviews about it. One of its best seller is the Sleek Matte Me Birthday Suit. You know it is the best when you try to buy it and it is always sold out!

Price

6,49€ / 6 ml

Here in Spain, you can buy your sleek matte me for 6,49€. You can buy it at Primor, a cosmetic store in Spain. Compared to other matte lipstick I tried, this one is already affordable and you already have a lot of variety of shades.

Application

1. Before applying it, better to prep your lips. What I use is Vaseline Lip Theraphy.
2. After letting the Vaseline dries, you can now apply the Sleek Matte Me Liquid Lipstick. Try to apply it first on your lower lip then on your upper lip  by filling them.
3. Let them dry without touching your upper to your lower lip

What I like about it is you do not have to reapply just to see its color. It is too pigmented and it will save you a lot product.

Texture

Matte Lipsticks are known for making your lips too dry or making you feel like it is too heavy. 

But with Sleek Matte Lipstick, it is really different. Maybe it is a little bit dry but not to the point that it will leave your lips too dry after removing it. It will also not let your lips crack. 

It is also light weight so it will not bother you. It feels like your lips but bette!

Durability

It is indeed durable! The only time you need to reapply is after you eat specially if you eat something oily. If you are in your work or on an event, you can fully trust this liquid lipstick and it will not let you down.

What I like

I like it being so pigmented, by that, I do not have to re-purchase every now or then and I save a lot of money. It doesnt make my lips to dry and it doesnt crack compare to other lip product. 

You may think that it is impossible. But just like any make up product, you always need something to take care of you face and lips to keep them at their best condition.

What I dislike

Their shade! They are really hard to match with your type of make up or with your outfit. But we do not have to worry because they have the birthday suit and bittersweet that we can use in our everyday make up.

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!

Vaseline Lip Theraphy Goodbye Dry Lips

 

No one ever want a dry lips. And for girls like me who are obsessed with matte lipstick, dry lips are our worst enemy. And after trying a lot of lip balm to remove or reduce the dryness of my lips, I finaly found the one!

When I was in Philippines, I found the Vaseline Lip Theraphy in Watson store and bought it because of my curiousity. And after trying it, I never stopped and I cannot go a day without it. 

Vaseline Lip Theraphy

 Vaseline Lip Theraphy has variety of flavors such as the Original, Cocoa Butter, Rosy and Crème Brulee. You can choose to any of this flavor based on your preferences.

Claims

      I can say that it´s 100% true. It 100% moisturizes our lips.

Price

P125.00 / 25oz

Maybe you may think that it is a little bit expensive for its prize but do not worry for it works 100%. And I am sure you will purchase another one after it.

How To Use It

1.  Every morning, everytime I brush my teeth and before I put my lipstick, I use it.
2. Just get some product using your finger then directly apply it to your lips
3. If you put too much product on your lips, you can dub your lips on a tissue paper to remove excess product

What I Like

1. I do really have a dry lips even I drink a lot of water and Vaseline Lip Theraphy really moisturizes my lips that no other lip product did.
2. I always use liquid matte lipstick that stays longer than usual. Im not fan of any make up remover so it takes me time to remove my lipstick. But thanks to Vaseline Lip Theraphy, I just need to apply a bit of its products, wait a little bit and get a tissue paper to remove it. And that´s it! 100% works. Better than make up remover!

What I Dislike

It is really hard for me to balance the product that I´d be needing. It too steaky for me so most of the time I use it, I always needed a tissue paper to remove the excess product from it.

Is It Worthy?

It works 100% so there´s no reason not to try or buy it. And its price is really reasonable.

For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

Instagramable

Being millennials, we do not only look how good the foods are but also how instragramable the place is. Cereal Hunters Café is perfect for us. Aside from its good food and good service, they have a big place and short number of clients. So you can have your privacy and you won´t mind disturbing other people. The interior design as well in unique and appropriate for its them. Here are some picture:

Me and my friends chose the big area with a sofa and few chairs. It is good for photos and talks but hard when you eat. So we move to the normal chairs and tables.

You can also see some displayed cereals and photographs. Stuffs are nice and let you do what you want as long as you don´t disturb other clients.

Belo Tinted Suncreen

 

It has been years since Belo Medical Group released their Belo Tinted Sunscreen with a lot of promising feature based on what influencers are talking about. And I know, there´s a lot of girls who are still curious about it. So now I will reveal it for you! 

Belo Medical Group is a company based in the Philippines. Because of tropical weather in Philippines,  people easily noticed the Belo Tinted Sunscreen which really helps and I will tell you more about it below. But I am telling you, I am living now in a cold weather country and I still use it on my daily basis.

Belo Tinted Suncreen

Claims

Tone Adapt Technology
      My skin is the typical tisay skin in the Philippines. I can say that I never had a probleming regarding its color. But when my friend tried to use it, she has a middle tisay and morena skin, it was obviously white on her and it took time to adjust on her skin.

SPF 50 and PA ++++
     Just a reminder, SPF doesnt guarantee you not have a darker skin from the sun but it protects your skin from it. But based on my exprience when I went for a short vacation in the Philippines, I didnt have a dry skin nor it went darker. It maintained my tisay face.

Price

• P499.75 / 50 ml

• P169.75 / 10ml

You might think that P499.75 for a 50 ml is too much but do not worry because it will last longer than you expected. Based on my experience, I use the Belo Tinted Suncreen everyday and it lasted to me more than 6 months.

Where you can buy

You can buy the Belo Tinted Suncreen in any Watson or in Lazada

How to use

1. I really recommend you to moisturize your face with any moisturizer that you are used to to maximize its ability. Wait until it dries a little bit.
2. You can apply the  Belo Tinted Suncreen using yung fingers but make sure you wash your hand. It is really better to use it this way than apply it with a brush or sponge.
3. You can put 5 dots from the product for your daily basis. But if you want to use it for any event, then apply as much as you put a normal foundation so it will give you more converage.
4. Then you can now use your powder foundation and do the rest of your make up

What I like

The Belo Tinted Suncreen is from a derma company so it is really promising that you will not have pimples from it. And it does. Not like any other product that caused your pimples to come out.

Aside from have a sheere coverage, it is really good for acne prone skin or just for any type of skin condition. It takes care of your face in any type of weather.
  

What I dislike

It may sounds weird but I really like everything about the Belo Tinted Suncreen. Im already using my second and I still have 2 stocks. 

It is worthy?

It is really worth it! I use it daily and even on big events and I never had a problem with it. It´s almost a year since I  stopped using foundation and Belo Tinted Suncreen never dissapointed me and really takes care of my face.

So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
