Pure Beauty Soothing BB cream
30 ml. Soothing BB cream is a natural botanical cover cream that effectively helps soothe and protect sensitive and troubled skin. It contains. Vita Extract, EMX water and Na complex to help protect skin and activate skin cell restoration for a healthy skin tone. Suitable for all skin types , even sensitive skin.
I bought this bb cream when I was really dismayed with Skinfood's Peach Sake BB cream. I was suffering from major major rashes due to stress and because of ponds cold cream (when I tried it all over my face!!my face went crazy). The blue packaging with flower details is too cute for me to miss it. This only costs 199 pesos!! I bought this immediately upon seeing the cheap price!! This is made in Korea, the home of the best bb creams in town. hehe |

The cute long nozzle of this tube effective controls the amount of product that you will use. |

I got this picture from this site. If you would look closely on the ad , it shows the benefits of using this product. Well these benefits can't be seen on the tube or on the box of this bb cream! I really like the packaging of this bb cream. If you want to test this product ask the SA of Watsons if they have testers.They surely have one.. :D
What I love about this product: - Its cheap!! 199 pesos for a 30 ml bb cream is not really bad at all.
- It has a detail regarding its expiry date! The storage period is for three years.
- It has a very nice medium coverage. It has a very thick texture and can really cover my blemishes well.
- I used this when I had rashes and it worked so well. My rashes were gone after a few days of use.
- It brightens my face and smoothens out my uneven skin tone.
- This is way better than SKinfood's Peach Sake BB cream!!!
- It has this strong herbal/botanical scent which I like. (others may not like it though.. it smells a lot like Manzanilla)
What I do not Like about it: - I find it very hard to blend with my regular moisturizer. I apply it first in a patting motion then I blend away.
- It has only one shade and it is way lighter than my skintone.
- It has no SPF and the packaging does not mention about any benefits on anti wrinkles or whitening properties at all.

It is very thick as you can see. A pea size can cover a lot of areas. |

Here is the swatch when slightly blended on the skin. Look how light it is. | | | |

Will I buy it again?? Probably.. I am using it almost everyday because it does not break me out at all. Btw, I was supposed to make an FOTD blog post when I erased all my pictures in my camera thinking I already downloaded everything! Just imagine how frustrated I am!! grrr....... Have a nice day everyone.

Kiehl's Surface Brightening Exfoliator
When I won Sophie of Beautynomics Minute Maid Contest way back in summer.. I got a Kiehl's gift cheque worth 5000 pesos. I actually had a hard time choosing the products to get. I am really in love with this exfoliator. If I am not mistaken this costs 1650 pesos at Kiehl's. I have been using it since April and the bottle is still half full. This is way better than St. Ive's Apricot Scrub. |

Description:
Our high-performance, foaming exfoliator is formulated with micronized shells to dramatically improve surface texture by removing irregularities from skin and promoting a smoother and brighter skin surface. Combined with potent whitening actives of Plum Fruit and Botanical Extracts, as well as Ascorbyl Glucoside, this effective scrub helps remove dead and damaged surface skin cells and draws away surface melanin, helping to minimize dullness and boost cell turnover to promote and even and bright complexion.
As you all know I have super dry skin and I really wanted a product that can exfoliate my skin without causing to dry even more. It effectively smoothens the rough areas of my skin. My cheeks feels like a baby's butt!!hahaha I find this very gentle on skin. The small grains are not harsh at all compared to the St. Ive's Apricot Scrub which is a very abrasive exfoliator. I use it 2x a week. This has a nice citrus scent that does not trigger my allergic rhinitis at all. That is big plus point. |

It comes in pasty and gooey form. Just 2 pea sized amount will do. Add a a bit of water before lathering it on your damp skin. This made my skin clearer. I have less break outs and my face smoother.
