Congratulations Aimee Kheer, Elisa Marie Opena and Kylie Sugcang!! Kindly contact me so I can tell you how we can meet for your tickets.. :D I am extremely excited to meet you.
I am sorry for the lack of posts . I have been adjusting with my new work and at the same time, I am loving it so much. My heart really belongs to litigation. I feel so motivated waking up in the morning because I now feel that I am a lawyer (LOL). That's it for now.. Btw, I cave in to my lemming. I finally bought another drawing eye pencil from Etude in Ebay in the shade brown and the Color my Brows Light Brown Brow gel also at Ebay. I asked Etude House if they will have stocks for this and their answer was in the negative. I bought the Brown Gel in Light Brown because they say it is a great dupe for the MAC Boygirl Brow Gel. I super love it.
Godbless everyone!!

HOT!!! Manila is freaking hot today! I cannot even move a finger without sweating like a pig. Tsk. The sun's heat pricks my skin like hell. I never get out of the house without an umbrella but there are times that I forget to bring one. But one thing I never forget is wearing a sunblock before going out.
I never loved sunblocks until now. Why? I tried using one before and it made my face itch, it clogged my pores like big time and I just feel so uncomfortable wearing it. Before, I was just too satisfied with wearing a moisturizer with SPF but when I saw my Aunt's cheek with a dark blemish that was due to the harsh rays of the sun, from then on sunblock became a staple to my skin care regimen. I had a hard time finding the right sunblock for me especially for my face and neck area. Let's quickly discuss the basics (only the basics.. I will not go in depth with the details because you can google a lot of information about it) on sunblock first. I know you have seen UVA, UVB and SPF on your sunblock and even your moisturizers. UV stands for Ultra Violet which refers to the harsh rays from the sun. A stands for aging or those particularly referring to cancer causing rays while B stands for burning. UVB are those ultra violet rays that cause immediate effect on the skin like sun burns and can be greatly linked to skin cancer. SPF means Sun Protection Factor and this only applies to UVB protection. The higher amount of SPF does not mean effectiveness of the sunblock rather how long the sunblock will remain effective or the length of time a person can stay under the sun without burning.
I have super dry skin and it is overtly sensitive at the same time. So what are the sunblocks that worked for me? Scroll down for more. |

Snoe Suntervention Serious Sun Protection with SPF 80++ Broad Spectrum UVA/UVA Block Price: 699 pesos This was given to me by Snoe Beauty during the Suntervention Bloggers Convention Event. This is one of their newest product launched in time for Summer. The smell and consistency is like a normal sunblock. It is quite thick but creamy. It is very easy to blend and it is absorbed by the skin. It feels light too.I tried using it on my face but I did not like it. I somehow felt a tingling sensation when I used it. My face also felt a bit tighter than usual. This is suitable if you want to go the the beach or to the pool. A tube has a shelf life of two years from manufacturing date. I experienced no itching or any other break outs when I used this. |

Like most sunblocks, it gives that ghostly white cast when worn.

Snoe Here Comes The Sunblock
Instant White with SPF 45
with Sigmkamas
Price: 199 pesos
Another Sunblock from Snoe Beauty. This is a paraben free product. I bought this because a lot of bloggers are raving about it. They say that it instantly whitens the skin. I did not believe them so I bought one for myself to see if it is true. Haha Indeed, it gave my skin instant whitening. It does not look fake at all but my skin looks fairer and glowing. I can use this everyday because it is light on the skin and it feels like a lotion on my skin. the texture and consistency of this lotion is very runny. It is not greasy at all and it is absorbed by my skin easily. On top of that, it has a nice scent to it.This is definitely a must try. Also, this is very affordable too. It only costs 199 pesos for a 100 ml bottle.

See how it made my skin a bit lighter. The key is to blend the product well on your skin to avoid the whitish streaks. |

Belo Essentials Sun Expert SPF 40 PA +++ for the FACE UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum Price: 299 pesos
Out of the three sunblocks, this is my absolute favorite. This is already my second bottle. I am absolutely in love with it. It is non comedogenic and hypo allergenic. It does not have that funky sunblock smell at all. It is actually fragrance free and since I have allergic rhinitis, this is definitely a plus point. This is not sticky or greasy at all. No tingling or stinging feel when applied on the face. It is very very lightweight (emphasis on this!!). I could layer this without fear of looking like a grease ball at mid day. I use it on my face everyday! This is an indispensable part of my skin care regimen. The consistency and texture is creamy and airy. It blends so well on my face even without moisturizer. I want to try the one for the BODY which slightly costs higher than this. Will I buy this again? YES! Definitely! I highly recommend this sunblock to everyone. |

Another plus point about this sunblock -- NO WHITE CAST!
These sunblocks are the ones I am currently using. What sunblock are you using to protect your skin from sun damage? God bless everyone. Disclaimer: These products are suitable to my skin and which works for me might not work for you or vice versa. The Snoe Here Comes the Sunblock and the Belo Essentials are bought with my own money. The Snoe Suntervention is from Snoe Beauty.

I must admit that I had been remiss in blogging lately. yay!! Imagine my horror when my list of products to review is getting longer!! Waahh!! Anyways, Manila or shall I say the whole Philippines is soooo hot these days!Ohhh Btw, I am already running out of my Mosbeau Facial Cream and I need a new moisturizer asap!! Any good recommendations? Anyways, Sweety Pink Cosmetics (http://www.sweetypinkcosmetics.com/) contacted me if Iwant to feature their new site in my blog. They sent me these awesome goodies to review. I chose everything. haha I am very curious with the Lipcote. Have you heard of this already? It is a lipstick sealer and it makes your lipsticks lasts longer. I tried it yesterday and so far so good. I told my boyfriend that I am wearing it and tried kissing him on the cheeks. My lipstick did not transfer. He told me that I should include him in the review showing a picture of me kissing him and a proof that my lipstick stayed on. lol I think I should it on with a lipstick since I applied on top of my NYX matte soft lip cream in San Paulo. It also claims to mattify the lipstick. Very promising right? I also got two Barry M lipstick. I love the consistency and pigmentation of Barry M lipstick. They lasts longer too compared to most of my other lipsticks. I got Pink Ribbon and Sunset. I also got the Beauty Uk Blush in Royal Rose. Another baked blush for me,, :D I still want a Milani Coralina!!! |

These are the products from Elite Minerals. The eyeshadow primer is really creamy. The eyeshadow Candy Girl is a very beautiful pink shadae with golden sheen!!! I can even wear it as a blush. This summer I like anything light on my face. No layering of products for now. I want everything to feel light and natural on my skin, Thanks to Mineral Makeup, BB cream and Pressed Powder!!! I still have one mineral foundation to review the one from Priori! I am not a fan of foundations with slight shimmers but this one is an exception. |

It is a relatively small firm which is 85% litigation. And guess what? I am the only lady lawyer in that firm (after the other lady lawyer resigns yay i am so left alone). Wahh..
