If you're my follower on instagram, you probably know that I am obsessed with lipsticks and my love for them is eternal. 

However, I noticed that my lips are flaky and dry. I drank more than 8 glasses of water everyday to keep me hydrated. Guess, it's because I'm using matte liquid lipstick most of the time and the weather of course. 

So the best thing to do is to exfoliate. And this lip scrub helped me a lot. 

Ellana Strawberry Vanilla Lip Scrub

Before I purchased this product, we did a lot of research first and we're hearing great reviews. But what really makes me purchase this is the "strawberry" flavor. I love strawberries!

It comes in a cute and tiny packaging. Most of the products from Ellana comes in this size, especially their eyeshadows. Once openned, you will be welcome by the strawberry scent! It makes me hungry, though. 

This lip scrub is included on my morning and evening routine, using it three times a week. I've been using this lip scrub for two months now and you can see it still looks like brand new. Probably because I don't take too much of the product. But in my opinion, this product contains a lot. This  10g only. Great things comes in small sizes. While wiping off the formula on your lips, you will the dry skin starting to come off as well. It's my habit to rinse it with water to remove excess product and voila! You have a soft, smooth and kissable lips!

Instructions For Use:

- Rub a small amount to your lips in a circular motion and wipe off with tissue. 

- In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately. 

Pros:

- lightweight

- easy to apply

- great scent

- will remove dry skin on the lips

- make your lips soft

- great help in exfoliating

Cons:

- (can't think of any negative thing about this)

I got this from Glamourbox.

BYS Concealer in Medium to Dark

I got this product from the SM Makeover Event held at SM Megamall last May 7, 2016. I was able to avail discounts and freebies too. 

The (friendly) sales lady at the BYS booth helped me in picking the concealer that suits me the most. Both of us were eyeing Medium, too bad it's out of stock so I settled for the next thing which is Medium to Dark. They only have three shades -- Light, Medium, Dark. 

I noticed that this concealer is very light and watery. It might take several applications for you to achieve the result that you want. Also if you have dry skin, apply primer or moisturizer first for better result. 

I tested the concealer on my bare face and here it goes:

As you can see, I have tons of blemishes on my face. Darks spots, eye bags, uneven skin tone, large pores, etc.

Pros:

- lightweight

- not sticky

- handy and easy to carry

- affordable  (Php 199.00 only)

- available nationwide

- easy to apply

- has that "cool effect" once applied

Cons:

- can take 2-3 applications to get better result

Will I recommend this?

- Yes!

Will I buy this again?

- Yes! (Must try the Dark shade)

Hello! It's been a while since I posted a review on my blog. I've been down for the past week but I am doing well now.

Today, I'll be reviewing a facial mask. To be honest, I am not a big fan of facial mask. I find them irritating once applied on the face. Probably, there are some people who shares my sentiment but there's always an exception. And for me, it's the Etude House.

The one that I always have is I Need You, Green Tea Mask Sheet. I chose this because it is for moisture and relief, which I badly need.

What I like the most about this mask sheet is that it's not sticky like the others I've tried before. (Not sure if the problem is me or the product.) And the results are visible right after. Your face will glow like you applied a whitening cream, also it will be super smooth and soft. The mask I've had before makes my face itch and it stings. I am glad that I discover Etude House Mask Sheet!

The sheet contains green tea extract providing moisture and comforting relief to soothe out rough and irritated skin. 

Directions:

1. Apply toner to skin after cleansing

2. Remove mask from pouch and apply to face, placing mask to fit eye and lip area

3. Remove mask after 10-15 minutes and lightly massage remaining solution into skin with hands. 

Pros:

- does not irritate the skin

- sheets are thicker than other mask

- you will ger the result right away

- has cute packaging

- moisturizes your face

- have the glow effect as a result

Etude House offers a wide selection of mask sheet depending on the need of your face. Go ahead and visit the nearest branch so you can check it out! Follow them on instagram -- @etudehousephilippines
