Hello, mamshies! It’s been a long time since my last blog post. I’m so excited to tell you about my #TigyawatSeries on my Facebook Page and it’s my first time to have a breakout with a lot of pimple marks. 😯

So, when I realized na it’s time to use a rejuvenating set na nga kase ang dami dami na talagang pimple marks and sobrang itim.

What Rejuv Set did I use?

I decided to use Beautederm Rejuv Set mga mamsh, dahil bukod sa maraming magandang reviews mabilis din daw ang epekto.

Out of curiosity, nag go agad ako sa beautederm rejuv set.

BEFORE

Here’s my photo bago ko ginamit ang Beautederm Rejuv.

On October 30, 2020, I read and first time to used the rejuv set, nung una kakaba ka ba pa ako iniisip ko baka kung anong mangyari sa fave ko 🙈

So, heto na nga, kailangan mo ng gamitin ito Nicole dahil nandito na yan at of course, ang mahalya niyan P3500!! 🤣 Wala ng atrasan.

Ito yung time na sobrang kati kati ng face ko, hindi ko mapigilan hindi kamutin so ang ginawa ko himas himas nalang.

But then kinabukasan wala na yung kati.

DAY 3

Napansin ko na pumuti yung face ko, yung mga pimples nag da dry na infairness ang bilis ng effect niya at medyo nagbabakbak na rin siya diyan paunti-unti sa bandang chin and jaw.

DAY 7

My RED FAAACE!! 😅 Bigla siyang namula na maitim, normal lang yun so don’t worry!

2 WEEKS

Kagigising ko lang and I noticed na nag fade yung mga ilang pimple marks, at glass skin ang peg ng face ko.

4 WEEKS

Yay! Patapos na ako nito and I’m so happy with the result! But hindi naman nawala lahat ng pimple marks lalo na sa bandang chin, sa may chicks nawala yung mga pimple marks.

How To Use?

MORNING ROUTINE

Wash your face and use Papaine Soap, rest your face in 5 mins, apply toner rest again in 5 mins then apply Day Cream.

NIGHT ROUTINE

Wash your face and use Papine Soap, rest your face in 5 mins, apply the toner after 5 mins apply the Night Cream 1, Night Cream 2 and Night Cream 3.

REMEMBER: Always rest your face for 5 mins before applying another product.

My experience..

PAPAINE SOAP

When I wash my face with their Papaine Soap, wala naman akong naramdaman na kakaiba. Parang normal soap lang and yung smell niya mabango.

PERO…

Day 3, day 4, and so on…

Pahapdi ng pahapdi, yung feeling na gusto mo na agad magbanlaw ng face dahil habang tumatagal, pahapdi ng pahapdi.

TONER

At first, ang strong ng smell feeling ko sobrang tapang nito. I applied and then tap, tap, tap lang sa face yun ang sabi ng nagbenta sa akin.

Ganun din ang experience with Pappaine soap, sa una wala lang but then mahapdi na pag patagal ng patagal ang gamit.

TIP: Itapat sa electric fan ang face habang ginagamit ang toner, nakaka less ng hapdi sa face. 😊

DAY CREAM

Hindi ako masyado fan ng cream sa umaga pero I have to apply talaga. Ang ginawa ko hindi ko masyadong dinadamihan ng apply kasi nagiging parang oily siya sa face and I hate it 🤣

NIGHT CREAM 1

Yung smell niya napansin ko agad, hindi siya mabango and medyo magaspang ang texture!

When I applied, nangati ako ng ilang minutes, akala ko hindi ako hiyang but sabi ni seller normal lang at huwag daw kakamutin.

NIGHT CREAM 2

Ito pinaka-fave ko para siyang aloe vera, mabango siya and wala naman akong naramdaman na mahapdi or kati.

NIGHT CREAM 3

This one is white cream talaga, maganda sa skin after ng pag apply.

NOTE: Before proceeding to another product wait 5 mins after applying the next product.

How Much? Worth it ba?

The rejuv set na nabili ko is P3500 2 months daw magagamit but in my experience yung toner naubos agad in 1 month, yung mga creams may natira pa.

YES, worth it dahil effective ang bilis bilis.
NO, the price is not for everyone. In short, mahal siya.

Where to buy?

Sa mga mamsh na taga Bulacan, dito ko binili kay Beautederm Plaridel yung sa akin just message them to buy. Actually may pa free products and free deliver din kapag naka 2500 and up ka.

My thoughts..

My reccomendation about the products na mag upgrade sila sa toner, medyo maliit siya kasi yung P3500 is good for 2 months pero 1 month lang yung toner sa akin but the rest I think aabot ng 2 months. 😊

What I like about the product is ang bilis ng resulta, napansin ko na in 3 days may result agad. Natuyo agad ang mga pimples. ❤ In fairness sulit ang bayad pero mahal siya kung magiging maintenance skincare na siya.

UPDATE: Pumayag yung mother ko na i-share ko dito yung experience niya with the product.

The reasons why I bought the P3500 set dahil maghahati kaming dalawa, sadly merong ingredients na hindi hiyang sa skin ng mother ko.

1 night niya lang ginamit yung products then in the morning nag start ng kumati yung face niya, and then nung hapon doon na namin napansin na namamaga na yung face niya.

My fault too dahil hindi ko muna siya pinag patch test iniisip ko kasi na hindi niya first time gumamit ng rejuv, but see what happened to her namaga yung face in 1 week. Kaya importante na mag patch test muna before using the product to your entire face 😊

Have you tried any rejuv set? Anong brand?

How to Use a Menstrual Cup?

July 30, 2020 Leave a Comment

Last time I made a vlog about the Menstrual Cup (MC) and it was really something new to me aside from doing makeup and skincare. Ang saya ko kasi nai-share ko sa vlog ang experience ko about MC.

But some important topics I forgot to tackle about MC on the video, and I’d like to share it here. I also made a review about my first MC which is Anytime from Beauty MNL.

How to Know Your Size?

Does size really matter? Yes, size really matters pagdating sa MC para tama ang pagkaka-fit sa loob.

During the first day of your period, insert your index finger, hanggang sa maabot mo ang cervix, the cervix is like the tip of your nose.

First-line – means you have a low cervix, it means that you cannot use MC.
Second Line – Mid cervix, means your size will be small.

Third line – You have a high cervix, it means that your size will be medium to large.

What Brand and How Much It Cost?

My first brand na nasubukan ko ay ang Anytime, it was good and matigas at makapal. You can use Anytime for up to 2 years. The price is P700 plus the shipping fee. I bought mine on Beauty Mnl.

The second brand is Intima which is the brand na ginagamit ko ngayon. It’s perfect for me because it’s soft and portable. You can use it for up to 10 years. The price is P2,000 plus the shipping fee. I bought mine to the Menstrual Cup Ph.

How To Insert?

Remove your undies and sit comfortably at the toilet. Then widen your legs and insert the MC to your vagina.

There are 2 ways on how to insert an MC. It’s up to you kung saan ka komportable.

How Many Hours Does The MC Inside Before To Remove?

On the first day of your period kapag malakas ang regla, MC should be removed and cleaned after 3-4 hours. The following day you can use it for up to 12 hours.

Who Can Use MC?

Anyone who has no vagina health problem can use MC. Even the virgin ones can use it.

How To Clean and Store MC?

After your period, rinse it thoroughly after using a mild soap then banlian ng 2 minutes, after that dry it and then you can store it in a portable.

Does the MC need to remove before peeing or pooping?

Nope, you can do your business while your MC is inside of you.

Noong una kong nagamit, alalang alala ako na baka maiire ko rin yung MC pero akala ko lang pala yun.

Health Benefits of Using MC.

Menstrual cups don’t dry your vagina unlike using tampons. This preserves the healthy bacteria that protect you from vaginal. This is according to Healthline

Do you know that a Menstrual cup lessens your cramps and the odor during your period?

Yes, based on my experience MC lessens the odor and my cramps.

Did you know?

I read some blog 2 years ago…

Kapag gumagamit tayo ng pads at after using it for 1-2 hours at puno na. Akala lang natin, the truth is 5-6 ml lang yung period na andun sa pads, because the period is spread on the pads.

MC can contain the period up to 18 ml in 12 hours.

You can also watch my vlog below about MC.

What are your thoughts about the Menstrual Cup? If you are an MC user can you share your most encouraging experience? Even the funny ones share it!

January 5, 2020 5 Comments

When it comes to our lovely babies we always do what is best for them because our babies are priceless. Right? So, most of the products I have used for my kids are the best ones like these New Pampers Sensitive Wipes. Keep on reading to know more about Pampers Sensitive Wipes.

#LoveatFirstWipe

Pampers Sensitive Wipes is ultra-soft and strong and does not tear easily, making it safe and effective in cleaning your precious baby’s bum.

What do I love About Pampers Wipes?

Paraben Free – Made without ethanol or drying alcohol.
PH-balanced – Helps maintain the skin’s natural pH.
Clinically Tested – As mild as cotton wool and water.
Ultra Soft & Strong – Does not tear easily.

Pampers Wipes vs Brand X

We have other wipe brands here to compare with Pampers Wipes.

Brand X is obviously too wet masyadong basa the smell is very strong that can cause rashes to baby’s skin, and I feel the wipes soapy naffeel ko yung parang madulas na masabon.

Pampers Sensitive Wipes is super soft and strong and yung pagka-basa or wet niya sakto lang hindi siya super wet.

As you can see when I stretch these two baby wipes (LEFT: Brand X RIGHT: Pampers Wipes)

How Much And Where To Buy?

It’s 139 pesos (56 wipes) and you can buy it in any drug store nationwide.

My Thoughts..

As a mom we have to be wise in every product we buy for our babies, di ba palagi nating chinecheck ang ingredients or ang kalidad ng isang product na gagamitin sa ating babies. Pampers Sensitive Wipes is really perfect for our babies especially on a newborn who needs a lot of wipes than toddlers. I also use it as my makeup remover whenever my laziness to wash my face Pampers Wipes got my back 😆

UPDATE:

It’s been a while since I review this, and as I noticed when using Pampers Sensitive Wipes on my face it feels rough a little bit on my skin.

Check it out on the supermarket and drug store and try it for yourself and your baby.

Glow Tonic Pixi

December 21, 2019 3 Comments

Hello everyone! It has been a month since I reviewed about one of my fave skincare products.

Today, I decided to share with you my latest toner that my skin really really love, this time my skin didn’t have a breakout when I used for a month now.

What is Glow Tonic Pixi?

Glow Tonic is a kind of toner made from Paris and some of the ingredients are from a natural formula. It also has 5% Glycolic which gently exfoliates and brightens the skin.

On November 23…

On that day! Finally! I received the Pixi Glow Tonic on Lazada app and I only wanted to try a new toner so I got the 40ml which is the sample size (they also have a smaller one but it was sold out).

How much?

Pixi Glow Tonic 40ml is 690 pesos and the shipping fee is 50 pesos.

What Does Toner Do On The Skin?

Before moisturizing and following your facial cleanser, a face toner is a quick, absorbing liquid that helps to remove excess dirt, traces of oil and makeup, correct and balance the pH of your skin, and helps control acne. By helping to clean and close pores, it’s especially beneficial for acne-prone skin. – According to Guide to Skin Toner.

How To Look On A Good Toner?

First, it should be an ALCOHOL-FREE. When a toner has an alcohol content, your skin will become dry. Toner is so important to our skin.

Before and After I applied the Toner

My thoughts about the Pixi Glow Tonic…

It’s really helped my skin to be poreless and it’s absolutely mild. Honestly, I didn’t use any cotton pad I used my finger instead to apply the toner on my skin.

The price is really worth it for me as a skincare junkie this is the best toner I’ve tried so far. And I’m looking forward to buying their full size of Glow tonic.

This is for all skin types.

Product Review: Ellana Cosmetic Cream to Powder Concealer and Foundation.

November 5, 2019 2 Comments

Disclaimer: All my opinion here are 100% mine and based on my experience, whether paid or not paid.

Hello everyone! My fave BB Cream is to finish off and because of that, I bought this Cream to Powder Foundation of Ellana Mineral Cosmetic.

I’m eyeing this for a long time and I’m so happy that I have one. I’m so excited to share with you about Ellana cream to powder foundation.

Cream To Powder Concealer and Foundation

When I saw this from Ann Clutz, I honestly amazed because it was the first time I heard the “cream to powder” thing and I really wanted to give it a try.

Let’s try the Coverage and Shade

Here’s my photo from Before and After I applied the product.

Wow! Look at the COVERAGE! It really covers my acne scars.

LEFT: Without the product, take a look at my under the eye, in this picture it looks more lighten than personal (I have very dark circles)

RIGHT: With the product, I didn’t apply any other concealer, except the product.

About the Shade

Before I add this product on my cart (I bought this online) I contact their beauty consultant on their website, yes they have one! So I ask her what would be the best shade for my skin.

She asked for my bare face selfie so I sent it to her and I got an answer. So the best shade for me is the SMILE shade which is best for warm medium skin tones.

Here’s another photo showing the shade on my skin, that exactly the same as my skin tone, right?

Blending

I use my finger to apply the product and blend it well using my brush. What I can say is that it’s easy to blend and seamlessly into a powder finish.

Wear Test

This is best for combination and oily skin. However, as my skin is combination oily and after wearing the product I still felt the oily feeling on the T-Zone (I didn’t apply any powder) but it still LOOKING DRY.

Product Ingredients

How Much And Where To Buy The Product?

It cost me the product for Php 1,032 with the shipping fee. I bought it when they have a SALE on their website.

Smile (Refill Only) – Php 749
Phoebe Magnetic Makeup Palette – Php 349
Plus Shipping Fee

PROS

CONS

Too much price for the refill

Yes, for the other moms like me it’s too expensive for the refill only, but I realized it’s still worth it because the product is amazed me with the coverage and the lightness on my face.
