Origins Ginger Float Cream Bubble Bath

  • Posted on April 19, 2009 at 11:33 pm

If there is anything good about summer, it is this reasonable excuse of immersing in the tub with the luxurious Origins Ginger Float Cream Bubble Bath, for longer than usual. This gorgeous smelling bubble bath was given as a gift for Christmas by my dear friend, Frances. Thanks, Franz! I really love it. :-)

Eyeshadow Primers for Oily Lids

  • Posted on April 5, 2009 at 11:17 am

If you happen to be one of those who have combination skin, then chances are, your lids are two of the oiliest  facial spots. The trouble with having oily lids is the persistent creasing of any type of eyeshadow that you apply. Even the supposedly crease proof ones fail to deliver.

urban-decay-eyeshadow-primer-potionYou really do not have to endure all this creasy problem. There are a handful of eye products for those who have oily lids problem. It is up to you if you would like to experiment on other eyeshadow primers, but if you’d rather not take chances, grab a stick of Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. It currently retails for $16. You have to make sure though, to apply powder shadow instead of cream shadow, over the primer. Cream shadows will still tend to trigger creasing, for obvious reasons.

Pond’s Age Miracle Advance Resurfacing Microdermabrasion Kit

That is a pretty long name for a beauty product. I have seen this in the market for quite a while now, but being a non-fan of anything that spells like a regimen – I avoided it. That is until I noticed that Olay Total Effects failed to deliver as before. I used to love Olay when it was first introduced to the market. They obviously have modified the content’s formulation because it is not as good anymore.

So far after three months of using Pond’s Age Miracle Advanced Resurfacing Microdermabrasion Kit, I must say that it is way better than Olay Total Effects. I just don’t like the idea that I have to spend an extra minute massaging my face with the polishing applicator. Although it can do wonders to those who don’t mind.

Ideally, you use it three to four times a week. I use mine two to three times. I am not very patient person, my bad. Maybe it would have better benefited me if I was more diligent. It’s easy to use. No fuss. You just put enough microdermabrasion polishing cream to the polishing applicator and apply to your wet face. Massage thoroughly for around 60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly and then apply post treatment glow enhancer. I am totally amused with this glow enhancer. I feel like one of the Cullen girls with shimmering diamond glittery faces when exposed to the sun.

The formulation of this beauty product boasts of a softening cream which is blended with real micro crystals that resurfaces and reines skin to extra smoothness and brightness. This kit costs around PhP 1,200 or approximately $27.
This kit, by far scores higher than Olay. I haven’t tried Olay’s Regenerist, though. I will write an article about it when I do.

Thanakha, The Ultimate Organic Beauty Agent

  • Posted on October 20, 2008 at 3:01 pm
First off, Thanakha dates back to the history of Myanmar. The benefits of which have survived several generations. Today, Thanakha is used as a beauty regimen. This wonder stuff actually comes from a tree bark that you make a yellow paste from before application all over the face.

I first used this back in 2005. I am not a great fan of dermatologists. Aside from not having plentiful of need to go to one, it is just impractical. Especially if you happen to be one of those gals who don’t get too much breakouts and don’t really have problem skin.

By far, this is the most organic product I have come across with that are sold commercially, albeit exclusively. I used to have the distributor’s number in my list of mobile contacts, until my mobile ceased to function probably. Which then got me into jotting down my list of contacts manually. Thankha personally did wonders as it took away some melia and even teeny bitty emerging warts that I then had – all without the aid of a special pricking device of a derma. They all just came off after a while of using Thanakha. I honestly could not recall how long I used it before I lost those unwanted stuff on my face. For sure it wasn’t years.

I bought my first and last jar in Tiendesitas. Now that another milia has mushroomed in between my nose and right eye, I hope to give this one a try again. Do you know of any establishment who sells this locally? I will really appreciate any response. I tried googling Thanakha’s availability in the Philippines and I learned that people are really taking advantage of its scarcity. It is now being sold at 750 a pop! No way! I don’t remember shelling out that amount of money for a bark of tree in a jar. I will probably swing around Tiendesitas one of these days just to take a peek. Hoping that the sellers of Thanakha is still around somewhere.
