Pond's flawless white

I've been using Pond's products ever since I started living in the Philippines back in 2002 because i had massive breakouts on my forehead. It took away all my blemishes in less than a month. :) That was way back during 6th grade. :) I stopped using ponds during college 2007 because I wanted to try new things that would work for me. I tried clean and clear, olay, loreal than I decided to give ponds another try since I havent used it in a while.

I found this product of Pond's after using my usual ponds products. Ponds flawless white. What caught my attention is its pink cap! its so cute.

This is what the back says. Description, instructions and ingredients. :) This product has a powdery floral smell which is pleasant. What i noticed after washing my face with this product is it feels smooth but it sorta dries out my skin and it caused me to break out. >.< I have no idea why.

This is how it looks like there are also small pink beads but aren't noticeable in this photo.

As for whitening. It didn't whiten my face after 3 weeks of using this. I see no difference. Besides the breakouts and dry skin.. :(


Rating: ★★✰✰✰ (2/3)

Pros:

• affordable less than 100 pesos
• cute packaging
• smells good

Cons:

• Dried my skin
• caused breakouts
• did not whiten my skin                

Will I purchase this item again?

No.

This product is a 3 minute treatment. So you leave it on for three minutes yet you feel the difference right away after washing it off! You're hair feels silky smooth! it also smells good. It sort of reminds me of jellyace.. haha LOL It also lasts long. The one i bought is the smallest jug. 

this is how it looks like

It feels more jelly like than cream. but once you leave it on your palm it melts. I usually leave the treatment on the tips of my hair were it is driest and put little amount near the roots.

RATING: ★★★★★ (5/5)

Pros:

• Cheap around 100 pesos for the smallest jug that will last for months

• leaves hair smooth as silk

Mane 'n Tail and body shampoo

Last January 28 I had my haircut done at going straight at SM sta. Mesa. I gave them a photo that they should copy. I felt confident that they'd cut it right since the last time I had my hair cut was totally awesome! >.<  guess what! the guy cut way to much! yeah! it was still long but the hair near my neck was the only long part.. which was toooo little.. and most of my hair near the top of my head was trimmed leaving 2-3 inches of my hair remaining.. so my head looked big from my new haircut! but long because of the inner section was left long.. >.< AWEFULLLLLLL!!!!! the dresser didnt even ask and he lured me away from the mirror! +++ i had a photoshoot the next day! CURSESSSSS!! too late to change things now.. >.<

RIP to my long hair T__T

(right) me

i dont know the name of the cosplayer next to me. ~gomen >.<

Immediately after that incident T___T huhuhu i searched all over the net for tips to make my hair long again. I found one product called Mane n tail. Some people believe that this shampoo along with the conditioner helped them grow there hair faster. So?? I HAD TO GIVE IT A TRY *A*.. so i bought it at savemore mezza.. I bought the smallest one. + the sachet of conditioner. it costs around 100 for the small one :)

FRONT

 back

the first thing i noticed when i used the product is the smell. It smells pretty ordinary like any floral shampoo. The conditioner however smelt horrible ! like burnt tire! eeewwww.. the texture of the shampoo was more jelly like and it has a silver hue to it. :) pretty the conditioner is yellow and when you apply it on your hair it doesnt feel like all your other conditioners that make your hair smooth as you wash it off... :p 

the shampoo was a bit drying but when you use it with another conditioner! It's ok but still a bit dry. As for length... my hair grew normally. it didnt grow faster.. :p and i started to have dandruff because of this! >.< which is a nono for me.. 

This product all in all was a failure. So i had my dad buy me hair vitamins called hairinfinity. I'll make a review for it in the future! :D

RATING:  ★✰✰✰✰ (1/5)

Pros: 

• affordable
• available anywhere  in the Philippines
• smell of the shampoo was nice

Cons:

• dries out hair
• smell of the shampoo was nice "but" you cant smell it on your hair once you wash it off
• gave me dandruff
• bottle is not attractive
• conditioner smelled!
• did not do anything when it comes to length
  

Will you purchase this again in the future?

No! 




Has anyone here had problems with there haircut? Had a horrible hair cut and wanted it to grow long FAST! what products did you use? what worked? please comment bellow... :)

Dove Damge Therapy (heat Defense)

My hair is naturally frizzy and wavy as seen at the photo bellow. so i need to flatiron my hair when i want it straight. We all know that flat ironing is extremely bad for your hair and damages your hair to the highest level >.< but we still do it. That's why it's a nono to flatiron your hair when you don't apply HEAT PROTECTANT.

 Me with wavy frizzy hair

So i bought this heat protectant when my father bought me this awesome GHD straightener! 

Dove damage therapy (heat defense)

product description: Dove recognizes that the main reason for our hair struggle is damage. That's why we put damage care and repair at the heart of everything we do . 

I bought this in SM savemore one of our local grocery stores. the price? around P200 above. When i first used the product i was sooo excited. :D It smelled florally like shampoo. But doesn't hut your nose. the spray? It's ok and spreads throughout the hair and not localized. 

here are the instructions, ingredients etc. click on the photo to view it better

what i noticed when i used this product. My hair became hard and crisp. NOT SMOOTH AT ALL! it felt lifeless not dry but rough. I cant explain >.< I just dont like it at alllll.. 

RATING:★✰✰✰✰ (1/5)

Pros:

• Smells good
• sprays well
• nice pearl packaging

Cons: 

• gives you lifeless hair
• crisp rough hair

Will i buy this again?

~Etude House~ Happy Teatime Lemon tea cleansing cream

One of my office mates gave me this gift for Christmas from Etude House :) ♥♥♥ everyone knows how much I adore Etude House Products! :) ~kekeke

This particular item was Happy Teatime Lemon tea cleansing cream used as a makeup remover. I usually use ponds cold cream to remove my makeup.

so this is what it looks like

 top view

back view

(i have no idea what it means. I threw out the English translation from its plastic case >.<)

and what it looks like when you open it

I've only used this 3x. reason? I don't go out that much these couple of months :p meaning no makeup!! >.< 

Going back to the topic. This smells good. It smells like lemons (duuh ) haha with a slight hint of tea that's sweet. "BUT" i don't know if it's just me but when i apply it on my face it smells like wood cleaner . Maybe it's too close to my nose or too much product is overpowering.. I have noo idea (-_-) weird. But it is refreshing! :) And the smell adds to the clean feeling :)

the texture? Same as lotion but more watery

Moving on! does it remove makeup! :D I have photos that demonstrate step by step.

1. hand with makeup

2. Apply cleansing cream

3. Rub product all over area you wish to remove makeup

4.Remove product with facial tissue or cotton ball

My verdict? It did remove my makeup. But when you have foundation on powder etc. It can be a bitc* to remove (-_-) This product removes it just fine :) but with a lot of makeup on it takes at least 2 tries (not bad). I suggest when using waterproof mascara and eye liner, you should apply a seperate amount consentrating on your eyes so it can be removed properly :)

 All in all the product is Ok.  

 RATING: ★★★★✰ (4/5)

Pros:

• its cheap P198
• smells good
• removes makeup
• not oily
• refreshing
• adorable packaging

Cons: 

• smells good but overpowering ( smells a bit like wood cleaner) I'd choose another type of the same product

Will you repurchase the product?

yes, but a different type. 

~Etude House~ Peach Panda hand cream

I absolutely love etude house products! I find all there products to have extremely cute packaging that tempts any girl to buy there products (>.<) and dont forget the smell! SOOO LOVELYY! yet not overpowering ARghh!

I had one particular product given to me by my boyfriend who looks like a panda! ♥♥♥♥ he gave me this Etude panda hand cream that smells like peaches (i love the smell of peaches! i could just smell it forever). the packaging was just soooo adorable because it reminds me of him and it smells sooo niccee .. I'm not that fond of hand cream but the smell keeps you hooked!

♥♥♥♥ kawaiii!!! ♥♥♥♥

I used this product a lot when I was still working since the office is always cold my skin tends to get really dry. Well it doesn't actually moisturize that much it kinda makes your hands feel drier , I don't know if its just me or i'm imagining things . I have yet to try it when the environment isn't cold. Also the smell doesn't last long. or i just cant smell it cuz i keep applying every time it feels dry. I'd have to try it again and have my boyfriend smell my hands after an hour if the smell is still there :) haha LOL

Rating:★★★✰✰    ( 3/5)

Pros: 

• cute packaging
• not messy
• smells good 
• not sticky

 Cons:

• dries skin
• smell doesn't last long 

 will I repurchase?

     ~maybe? I have to give it another try :)

Majolica Majorca Pressed pore cover

I was looking for the perfect pressed powder that doesn't cake. I've tried a whole lot of pressed powders but to my dismay I haven't found any that suited my skin. Then I found this blog that showed this new brand that was recently introduced to the philippines! who wouldnt fall in love with the packaging! *A* omgomgomg!

So i decided to try it. Its a bit pricey but it's worth it. Majolica Majorca is actually a sister brand of shiseido ( an expensive brand) but whtas good is Majolica Majorca is actually affordable compared to shiseido! with top quality as well! :) you can buy this at any Sm department store!

ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO PRETTYYYYY!! *A*

Ok so the case comes separate from the press powder. The powder is actually a refile it costs about 800ishhh I forgot (-_-*) ~gomenn and the case is less than 500 :) I also forgot what shade I have all i know is that its second to the lightest one :)

Color selection is limited.. so I dont think it will suit alot of people. For me its one shade darker than my skin tone but the light one is too light .. but still ok! Application?? hmmmm... SMOOOOOTHHH! and it feels like silk! For coverage? not to heavy and not to light but bildable :) just dont put to much cuz it looks weird.. >.<

Did it break me out?? 

nope! not at all! :) and it also keeps the shine away for hours! sorry I dont have any photos >.< ~gommmen again! i'll be prepared next time.

★★★★✰   (4/5)

Pros:

• covers pores (pores aren't visible)
• doesn't clog pores 
• no shine
• accessible
• lasts long
• CUUUUTEEE

Cons:

• a bit pricey but worth it
• lacks color range 

will i buy it again?

YES!!!! :)
