My take on K-Palette 24h Real Lasting Eyepencil Waterproof in Deep Brown

I got a complimentary set of K-Palette 24h Real Lasting Eyepencil for review from the local distributor a few months ago. Since I am busy with my baby, I don't have enough time on my hands to prettify myself so pardon me for taking a long time to write about my experience after receiving the package.

K-Palette 24h Real Lasting Eyepencil Waterproof in Deep Brown PhP 795

K-Palette 24h Real Lasting Eyepencil is highly pigmented and easy to use. It has a softer lead therefore it does not tug my lids as it glides upon application. 

Since I have almond-shaped eyes, I have to draw a thicker line on my upper eyelids to make my eyes appear bigger and fiercer. I am not used to drawing on my lower lash line though, you will find out why after the break...

Moringa-O2 Green Tea Room Mist & More!

As I am typing this entry, I can smell the scent of Green Tea and I <3 it! I have been spraying Moringa-O2 room mist in my baby's room when it is vacant and also inside the toilet to diffuse any unpleasant smell of her poo-poo!

 Moringa-O2 Room Mist Green Tea

One to two spritz is all you need to deodorize the room. The scent has a calming and at the same time relaxing effect. You can see the content through its glass bottle packaging... so sosi!

On a side note, rainy season is here! Are you armed with the right products to protect you from elevated levels of humidity, grime and pollution? Well, Ardent World, Inc. has developed malunggay-based skincare products, known as Moringa-O2 Malunggay that can keep the skin moisturized and nourished throughout this rainy season.

KOR Vida Hydration Vessel 750ml

Yesterday, I added KOR Vida hydration vessel to my growing number of water bottle collection. I bought my third bottle from Howards Storage in Robinsons Magnolia. I am now a certified water bottle addict!

 KOR Vida Hydration Vessel (Natural Finish) PhP 1,500 1,350

Dimensions: 10.4"tall, 3.0" wide and 3.0"deep at base
Weight: 8oz

Meet Vida

We love the durability and beauty of steel, but not the way steel bottles flet in our hands-or our lips. So we created Vida. Its BPA-free collar replicates our ultra-comfortable Perfect Spout, a first for steel bottle.

I instantly fell in love when I saw KOR Vida water bottle on the shelf. There's no doubt that I want to buy it. The good news is that it's at 10% off ; )

There's only one question that entered my mind- which color to choose ; p

Baby: Pigeon Safety Nail Clipper

I want to share this Pigeon Safety Nail Clipper that my mom bought in SM Baby & Co. for my baby. I tried using another brand with a magnifying glass but it failed in comparison with this.

Materials:

• Blades: Steel
• Handle & Case: ABS Resin
• Cap: Polypropylene

I read in the label that it is ideal/recommended to trim baby's nails while he/she is sleeping. I found out that it is easier to trim my baby's nail while she is in front of the mirror! Bata palang kikay na!

Pevonia Botanica Seaweed Exfoliating Soap (Ligne Nymphea)

Last December, I got a Christmas package from my good friends at Pevonia Botanica Philippines. Inside the native basket is a set of exfoliating essentials. It consists of a towel embossed with the company's logo, a scented candle, a body scrubber (in my favorite color blue!) and a seaweed exfoliating soap.

When my family and I went to Tagaytay last week, I was outdoor the whole time. Pevonia Botanica Seaweed Exfoliating Soap is the soap I need for my slightly burned skin on my back- I was wearing sleeveless shirt because the heat was killing me! I was able to use the soap when I got back and it was definitely moisturizing to the skin.

Hello! How's your week?

My SIL gave me  a set of Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief in Creamy Wash and Moisture Cream. I noticed immediately that it's Pediatrician Recommended and it's Fragrance Free. Well, that's good enough for me to give it a try!

New Find: RHEA 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Scented and with Moisturizer

A few nights ago, DH brought home a bottle of RHEA rubbing alcohol. He was suffering from cough and cold and he wants to disinfect his hands after every trip to the bathroom. Looks like he bought this bottle in Mercury Drug Store along with cough syrup ; p

 Rhea 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Scented and with Moisturizer 500ml PhP 69.75

Anyway, I was not even aware that he bought a bottle until one night, coming out of our bathroom, I smelled it. I think I asked him on two occasions, "What's that I am smelling?".

It has a floral scent, nothing like Family Rubbing Alcohol which I also like along with Green Cross.

Oilatum Bar for Dry, Sensitive Skin

Remember when I told you about the consultation I had with my dermatologist last year? Well, aside from the sample sachets of Physiogel, she also gave me an Oilatum bar 15g sampler.

bought my 3rd Oilatum 100g bar PhP 165

To make the long story short, I really liked it so I recently bought another bar. It keeps my face clean and does not strip away moisture with its Moisture Trapping System.

There are two sizes- 50g and 100g. I bought the latter at Mercury Drug Store because it is cheaper than the former. Oilatum 50g bar soap costs PhP119 ; p

Cynos Morocco Argan Oil Review

When I attended Cynos Hair Fashion Show featuring top stylists Tinette Ozamis-Puyat, Hanz Olivar and Alex Carbonell, I took home a swag bag containing a tiny bottle of Body &Thairapy Morocco Argan Oil and a set of Argan Oil Thairapy Moisture vitality Shampoo & Conditioner.

I did not open the bottle until Summit Colors, the local distributor of Cynos, sent me another bottle. This time with a different set of Cynos Shampoo and Conditioner - CRP System Pliancy.

 Cynos Morocco Argan Oil 10ml (travel size bottle)

It was about the same time last year when I experienced dryness on my cheeks. I bought two different variants of Physiogel - AI Cream & Cream. I used it after washing my face in the morning and at night. But I still experience dryness on my face a few hours after application. If I am home, I can reapply the product but I could not reapply it as often as I want to when I am out. That's where Cynos Morocco Argan Oil comes in.

Perfect for High Heels: Neat Feat Gel Forefoot Insole

You don't often see me wearing high heels. Why? Because my feet always feel uncomfortable. I don't know how other women manage to wear high heels all day. Thankfully, Neat Feat send over some samples of Femme Slimline. These are part of the Essential Footcare and everything is one size fits all!

 Gel Forefoot Insole for High Heels

The packaged arrived way before I went to Taiwan. Yeah, I know what you are thinking and you are right! I bought a pair of high heeled shoes just so I could test run these gel forefoot insole ; p

I am glad to report that the gel forefoot insole served its purpose. I attended a party two weeks ago, and I was comfortable the whole time. It clings to my shoes and my foot didn't slide. 

Does that mean I should go out and buy more high heel shoes???

Swish Breath Spray & Swish Mouthwash

Commercial break!

Breath Sprays are not new in the market at all. What makes Swish Breath Spray different? It's alcohol-free and sugar-free!

Swish Breath Spray 10ml PhP105

While Swish Breath Spray in Arctic Chill has a stronger flavor, I personally like the taste of Swish Breath Spray in Peppermint Fresh. It tastes just like peppermint gum. Both instantly freshen my breath in just 10 seconds!

It is small and handy so I can bring it with me anytime, anywhere!

Celeteque DermoScience Sun Care Soothing Lip Balm & Hydration Make-Up Remover Wipes

Most of my beauty posts are now all about lipsticks because I seldom put any makeup on when I go out these days. It's not that I became sloppy, it's just that, now, I dare to bare my face for everyone to see. I have to thank my dermatologist for my clear skin ; p

Miss Tangerine Sweet Shower Lips by Etude House

I hoarded a lot of makeup from Etude House while in Korea. One of the products that caught my attention was the Miss Tangerine Sweet Shower Lips #4 Miss Tangerine Tangerine from the Tangerine line... whew!

Miss Tangerine Sweet Shower Lips in Miss Tangerine Tangerine W8500 (PhP340)

I got the true tangerine color, the rest of the colors are called Shiny Pinkshower, Sweetberry Blossom, Miss Sunny Tangerine and Sweet Peach Shower.

Color My Brows #2 Light Brown by Etude House

My dilemma started last year when I decided to dye my hair. My hair has never been dyed before so I went to a professional salon, Hair Asia to have it colored in red. In less than 3 months, the color has faded. I figured I can't afford to shell out PhP2, 500 every single time so I bought Etude House's Bubble Hair Color in Wine Red. It's inexpensive and I got the color that I desired in less than an hour's wait. My hair color became lighter with every application of dye. The eyebrow pencil that I used did not match that of my new hair color... ack! My continuous search for a matching color for my eyebrows remained futile until I went to Korea.

Color My Brows #2 Light Brown 4.5g W6000 (PhP240)

While in Korea, I had this crazy idea to dye my hair in The Face Shop's Orange Brown. The difference between my hair color and my eyebrow color is more noticeable. That is a very big problem for a person like me who wants everything in terno. I know, I should have just dyed my eyebrows, right?! Then my problem would have been solved lol
