CYLEINA SOAP

If you're not a Cyleina soap "fan", you might be wondering why this Cyleina soap is so special to me.

  • I get breakouts on a regular basis, not just on my PMS week, since I started using black pearl and tomato, whenever I breakout, the soaps dry them up and the tomato soap gave me my rosy cheeks :D
  • Lavender, I use this to clean my face during the night and I love how my face clears up after each wash. During the day, I am already stressed out with school and sometimes I have to work after so by night time you can just see STRESS written all over my face and the lavender soap just washes the stress away.
  • for the body, I've used shea butter, batangas coffee, green tea, grapeseed, papaya's goat milk, rice bran and chocolate, they are all mild soaps (except for the rice bran which is for exfoliaiton) but my favourite soap award for the body goes to grapeseed, try it and see for yourself ;)
YES! for this product, I am really satisfied and can't wait for the new products this summer.

BB CREAM
- Like what I've said in the previous entry, I have never tried or heard of BB cream before in my life so I have no idea what a BB cream is and why this product is so popular, so I did a little bit of research, asked around, watched video reviews etc etc. I finally decided to give it a try. Picking the "right" BB cream wasn't easy, (and the people I bugged for suggestions are well aware of this haha) because:
  • There are lots of BB cream variants to choose from, plus the good reviews each BB cream has (this alone, is enough to put your sanity on the edge haha)
  • just like when buying for a new foundation, you have to consider your "needs" (light/medium coverage, heavy coverage, controls oil, for dry skin etc).
  • It only has two shades but you have to be sure you picked the right one.
And that's the reason why I decided to try the premium kit, that kit contains 4 different BB creams already for you to try and decide which one will work best for you if none of those will "satisfy" your needs, then you move on, and buy another sample kit with different set of BB creams.

For the kit that I got, tho it's not giving me the coverage that I want, SF Peach Sake got my vote for controlling the oiliness of my face. Missha 21 is too light for me and Skin79, I didn't really gave it a shot coz I gave it to my sister and she has dry skin and I find it really working for her so I just decided to not mess with that BB cream and for Missha 23, it doesn't control my oiliness, so obviously, SF Peach Sake worked for me.

EMU OIL

- I use this for spot treatment only. BP/lavender + Tomato + Emu oil is the perfect combination for me to dry up my zits. I've noticed that since I've used this product for my dark circles and those tiny bumps, it became lighter, how I wished I took a picture of my dark circles before using emu oil so I can show it here, I just didn't know at first that using emu oil for my dark circles will make it lighter. :( oh well.

BOBBI BROWN

- I got the Pink Raspberry Face Palette from sis rhumbafrapp. I'm just gonna give a quick review about the blush since I haven't tried this palette's e/s and lip sheer. The Pink Raspberry has long staying power! I used this blush for school and work one time, and was surprised that my cheeks are still pink til I got home that night.

PURE BLOSSOM (powder pearls mini from the face shop)

- I got this cute powder pearls from sis Heatherette, what I love about this mini pearls is, it's actually not as "loud" as the pink raspberry blush but it gives you the right "statement" when you're wearing it, just the perfect rosy cheeks for a light day at school or mall.

NYX GLOSS

- I got 4 NYX lip glosses from sis lelila (digitaltraincase), cafe latte, pink, sorbet and I forgot what the last one is called coz as soon as I got it, I gave it to my friend who wanted it. I am a first time NYX user and I loved the lip glosses, I think I did a pretty good job in choosing the shades coz they are not too pale or too bold for me, pale I can handle but I'm not ready for the bolder ones -- YET! so when I try one and it looked good on me I'll let the world know, yep! too bad you don't have a choice. :p


That's pretty much about it for this entry, I know it should've pictures at least but I am already presuming everyone who will come across this knows already what I'm talking about and they've tried those already, so there you go, over all, I am pretty satisfied with my March haul.
