Secret is out! The Sampleroom.Ph Mystery Product is Herbal Essences! So a few weeks ago I received a mystery parcel from sampleroom and a lot of you were curious when I shared about it on YouTube Shorts. I believe some went and got their own samples so yay! Anyway, the reason why I am so thrilled to be a part of this is because this is the first time that SampleRoom created a #SampleRoomMysteryProduct campaign. If you are new to the blog and haven't heard of sampleroom, you can read a lot of my previous SR articles HERE. 

To continue, you weren't the only one who was curious weeks ago and like you, I did take the mystery sampling seriously and tried to guess what the mystery product it. I also tried it for several days before I shared which explains my happy smile in the photo below because I already know that I'm sharing something I like.

Laneige White Plus Renew Capsule Sleeping Pack Review

Today's review is about an oldie but goodie favorite of mine for more than 5 years now, the Laneige White Plus Renew Capsule Sleeping Pack. The reason why it took me so long to review this is that I only use this a few weeks a year when my skin is at its most dry. Now that winter is coming (enter Game of Thrones theme music), we are back at the time of the year when I buy my annual supply of Laneige White Plus Renew Capsule Sleeping Pack for use during the end of the year and early January. So what do I have to say and why do I keep buying this? Find out below!

Laneige White Plus Renew Capsule Sleeping Pack Review

Before anything else, I just want to make it clear that the Laneige White Plus Renew Capsule Sleeping Pack is not skin whitening at least for me. What it does is that it hydrate your skin so that your skin looks even-toned and brighter. It's all about that chok chok skin trend for Korean skincare. 

Kojie San Now Has Zero Pigment Light Technology for Their Hydramoist Soap and Skin Lightening Lotion

I am so thrilled to share with you the newest release from Get Ready With Me Cosmetics, the GRWM Cosmetics Radiance Tint!

My dog has been with me for more than 12 years, and even more during the past 2 years because of the pandemic. I can't imagine a world without my little girl, even though she's a lot older than me now in dog years, hahah! Which is why I'm sharing the dog care tips article below from the trusted dog care brand, Simparica. I wouldn't have been with my dog for this long if I've lost her to tick disease, ehrlichiosis, which she got in late 2016. She almost left me that time and so it is now part of my advocacy to promote responsible pet ownership.

An Impawfect World Made Pawfect: New Normal Care Tips For Your Dog

It's been such a long time since I had time to blog about makeup and that is because I am so busy with my advance studies as well as lecture load for teaching. I hardly have time for makeup these days and really prefer cosmetics that are long-wearing, fuss-free, and don't smudge under masks so I am so glad to report my findings after trying out the GRWM Cosmetics Aqua Tint for a full month!

GRWM Cosmetics Aqua Tint Review Swatches Price and more!

GRWM Cosmetics Aqua Tint dropped a few weeks ago and got me through a month-long ordeal of endless zoom meetings, deadlines, and more. These aqua tints are watery and gel-like in texture, are easy to apply and blend, and can be used for the eyes, cheek, and lips. The product doesn't transfer, bleed, or smudge after fully dry so this was my BFF for the days that I am chugging on with just 2 hours of sleep.

Hakubi White C is Now in The Philippines! Here is What You Need to Know About This Japanese Skin Whitening Brand!

Hakubi White C is now in the Philippines and I was one of the few top bloggers and media people in the Philippines who was invited to be a part of the online brand launch made possible by SATO Pharmaceuticals, One Mega Group, and TheHuddleRoom. I first heard about this Japanese skin whitening brand in Thai skincare groups and I am so glad that they're now locally available via Shopee Philippines as well as Watson's stores nationwide. Read on below for my exclusive behind-the-scenes chika! #japaneseskincare #jbeauty #beautythatilluminates #Hakubeamwithbeauty #hakubiwhitec #hakubiph #hakubiskinwhitening #skincarelaunch 

Hakubi White C is Now in The Philippines! #HakuBeamWithBeauty

Now, I know that the packaging can look quite intimidating or almost medical-like for some people but this is a thing that Japanese brands do. Either they go super Kawaii or go for minimalist aesthetic. The products do not smell or look like medicine, I can assure you.

Update: I buy authentic Hakubi White C products HERE https://shope.ee/4ALHrekvJR, their official Shopee store. 

A total of 4 products in 3 different formats (gel, cream, tablets) was launched. They are the Hakubi White C tablets, Hakubi Q10 Cream, Hakubi BB Cream, and Hakubi White C Gel. 

I must say that introvert me miss going to events and I realized that upon seeing some familiar faces during the launch hosted by Bianca Valerio. There were more people but I only managed to get one screencap and you can only see the top of my head because I was looking down at the screencap buttons, haha!

So, What is the Scoop with J-Beauty Skincare Brand Hakubi White C?

Maybelline Mask-Friendly Makeup Recommendations

It has been such a long time since I published something on this blog because I was busy with work and my other blogs. Of course, I haven't forgotten the PinayBeautyAndStyle Blog and the Pinay Beauty And Style Youtube channel but I've been mostly using the same things over and over again and so I had almost nothing new to share. It's only been a few weeks ago that I restarted with using makeup again on a daily basis and a dilemma I've had was to find mask-friendly makeup products that are affordable and that people can easily buy so that I can share them with you guys. Admittedly I have been mostly using products that are meant for theater and makeup artists for the past months so this was truly challenging for me. Enter Maybelline! 

You can buy Maybelline products in the Philippines via their Shopee official store here https://shope.ee/2VDnLU3xsO <---- THAT is a clickable link where they hold a lot of sales and post new releases too. 

My Maybelline Mask-Friendly Makeup Recommendations

It wasn't a secret that Maybelline was one of the first makeup brands that I used decades ago, grabe tita age na talaga. Although I lean towards Kbeauty and Jbeauty these days and try to use cruelty-free makeup most of the time, I still get Maybelline products from friends and family who know how much of a Maybelline girl I used to be. Instead of letting the products sit around, I use them and try them so that I can spare my readers the effort of having to do this themselves. 

Secrets to Salon Hair Experience at Home with Pantene!

It has been more than a year since I've been to any salon or spa or any sort and although I am the type who don't usually go for a full-on pampering session, I must admit that I miss it badly. Thankfully, I've been trying out some of Pantene's newest products and am able to get a little bit of the salon hair experience at home with the Pantene Keratin new formulation which is why I wanted to share with you their Press Release that made me try their new products!

Get Secrets to Salon Hair Experience at Home with Pantene!

The unruly, overgrown, problematic hair that we now have to deal with needs the salon TLC that it deserves. By now, we all probably miss the experience of being in the salon — the smell, atmosphere, and fulfillment that a pampered and good looking head of hair makes us feel.

If you are interested to buy some Pantene products, I highly recommend purchasing via their official Shopee store HERE >>>https://shope.ee/3fOwiW1wH2<<<  Pantene Shopee Store. 

REVIEW Spotlight Cosmetics Lipstick Swatches - Superstar Creamy Lips is Great for Dry Lips!

Spotlight Cosmetics launched about a year ago but I've only started using their Superstar Creamy Lips at the onset of summer in the Philippines because my lips are extra dry. I guess I have been so used with using tints and long-lasting liquid lipsticks that using bullet lipsticks just took the back burner for me.  Anywhoo, I finally gave them a try and ended up liking them that I have used them a few times a week for the last 3 months. Here is my review for the Spotlight Cosmetics SuperStar Creamy Lips!

EB Advance Silky Brow Liner Review Swatches from Ever Bilena

I don't remember blogging here about a brow product because brow products are normally challenging to write about so I just feature them in videos most of the time. Today, I have been very tired and worn out and literally couldn't summon the strength to do much except manage to put on a little bit of Belo SunExpert Whitening Sunscreen, Belo SunExpert Loose Powder, GRWM Cosmetics Milk Tints, and brows courtesy of EB Advance Silky Brow Liner so yeah, time to review these brow liners!

This will be a very short blog review because there is not much to say about brow liners so I will just talk about the most important details. And yes, just in case you are wondering, EB Advance is Cruelty-free and paraben-free, yay!

Hyaloo Ph was officially launched a few weeks ago and I am so happy to share with you their Aqua Plus range because I have pily but dehydrated skin!

Just to be clear, this is an introduction and a little bit of first impressions. I will post a separate review after I am able to test these for a few weeks.

Taking care of my mental health is my top priority these days and so I am back to enjoying free games online. This post is a follow-up to my blog post on Gaming Is Self-Care! One of My Best Kept Anti-Aging Beauty Secrets is Taking Care of My Mental Health!(<---pssst, that is a link) I wrote that blog a week ago because someone pointed out that it looks like I like gaming and then the conversation went to how gaming can have health and beauty benefits and how playing free online games can be considered as valid self-care.

I primarily play free games online when I am very stressed. The more stressed I am, the more I feel compelled to 'escape'. That is why I play free games online as part of taking care of my mental health!

Taking Care of My Mental Health with Free Games Online at Plays.Org Because Yes, Gaming Is Self-Care!

It is no secret that playing digital games is an effective stress reliever for a lot of people. For me, gaming is a healthy and fun way to divert my anxiety and refocus my energy when I feel overwhelmed by deadlines, work, and other worries. I really believe that gaming is self-care and a productive one to boot!

I've reviewed so many Careline products from the brand for the past 3 years including the bestsellers Careline Multi-Sticks, Careline Graph-Ink Liner, and Careline Glow Getter Palette.

REVIEW Good Virtues Co Helpful and Delightful Conditioner and Happy and Heavenly Shampoo with Black Seed Oil for Sensitive Scalp

Good Virtues Co Helpful and Delightful Conditioner and Happy and Heavenly Shampoo are two Good Virtues Co products that I have been using for years. I can't believe that I totally forgot to review them considering that they are part of my usual shower time repertoire. I don't even remember how many times I repurchased both from my suki BeautyMNL and have also reviewed the Good Virtues Co Hair Serum HERE. 

Well, today is the day that I am going to talk about how much I love Good Virtues Co Helpful and Delightful Conditioner and Happy and Heavenly Shampoo.

REVIEW Watsons Glutathione Gummies Price Where to Buy! Is it a Skin Whitener or An Immune Booster?

Watsons Glutathione Gummies with Collagen and Camu Camu first caught my eye in an aisle at the store because I was looking for flavored lozenges. I hate taking tablets and capsules so I figured to give this a try and see if they taste good plus if they truly work as an antioxidant and as a health supplement for skin whitening. After all, that's what glutathione supplements are known for, right?

Gaming Is Self-Care! One of My Best Kept Anti-Aging Beauty Secrets is Taking Care of My Mental Health!

Gaming is self-care! That's what I told one IG follower when she spotted me having a game on my iPad while I was filming an unboxing video on Instagram and asked me if it was ever an issue with my image online. I said no and I see no reason why that would be the case. She was so happy because she thought the same but was just a bit conscious about how women gamers are perceived, especially that there seems to be a divide between 'real gamer girls' and the 'gaming ladies' VS 'true gamers'. 

Anyway, categories aside, I am a firm believer in taking care of yourself and your mental health if you want to age gracefully. It just so happens that some people like me enjoy playing online games or digital games for entertainment. It also works for coping with being cooped up at home especially at this time. 

But who am I kidding, right? I've been playing online games since I was in college! I find that I perform better when I have presentations and exams after I played some DOTA and Ragnarok back in my engineering days. Then I went into the medical field and I played digital games on my phone every break as a way to help me refocus when I have to digest hundreds of pages of medical text. 

Those were certainly the good old days! So yes, I dare say that gaming is self-care! And in fact, it is one of my best-kept anti-aging beauty secrets for taking care of my mental health now that I am nearly in my 40s!

REVIEW Cathy Doll Nude Me Liquid Lipstick Swatches - Long Lasting Matte Liquid Lipstick to Try!

Cathy Doll Nude Me Liquid Lipstick is definitely on the top of my list of the most long-wearing lipsticks of all time, and that includes everything I have tried in all sorts of price range. I know this blog review is a bit late (I got a video review too a long time ago), after all, I have been using Cathy Doll products for the past 4 years and have posted so many review videos but today is the day that I have finally run out of my last Cathy Doll Nude Me Liquid Lipstick!

I first got to try this long-wearing matte liquid lipstick at the Cathy Doll Philippines first year anniversary that I wrote about HERE, and loved this lippie since then. Yes, I know that there are so many other liquid lipstick products in the market but this is really good. Most trendy products stop producing 2 years after the launch but this is still selling like hotcakes and is well-loved not just in the Philippines and Thailand (where Cathy Doll is from) but also other ASEAN countries and as far away as Russia and other Russian states. If you're also a tsismosa when it comes to makeup, YOU KNOW!

VT Cosmetics launched their Cica Skincare line last year in early 2020 and so many things have happened since then! Just for transparency, VT Cosmetics Korea did send me the products I will be talking about here but their PR parcel was held in customs due to the lockdown. I thought it was never going to arrive so I purchased everything in Shopee too, and then my PR parcel arrived, haha! So anyway that's the story of how I ended up giving some VT Cosmetics Cica Skincare products in my Instagram huge skincare giveaway.

Now that we got that cleared up, let me introduce you to the Cica Skincare line from VT Cosmetics!

I posted a SKJN Collagen Review video at the PinayBeautyAndStyleBlog youtube channel almost a year ago and so after a long time of using it, I decided it's time to post a review post for the blog readers out there who are looking for an effective collagen supplement review. 

I've been taking collagen supplements on and off for more than a decade now. let's just say that I have a love-hate relationship with collagen supplements because most of the tablets available in the Philippines are too large and those that are in powder form are often difficult to dissolve and are either tasteless or have an aftertaste. Since I discovered some easy-to-drink collagen supplements 2 years ago, some have become my favorites and later, you can check them out at my review link for my list of Effective Collagen Supplement Reviews.

I published a Battle of the Soothing Gels review video 2 years ago and since it is summer again, it is time for a write-up. To date, I have tried over 15 soothing gels but I will only be reviewing my top 7 which are readily available in top Korean Skincare websites and skincare distributors in the Philippines and the rest of the world.

Got Myself Affordable Graded Eyeglasses at EO Optical! Anti Radiation and Anti Blue Light Technology

Affordable eyeglasses are something that I have been on the lookout for, for years as I have bad eyesight but it seems that affordable eyeglasses are also easy to break. Today, I am sharing my experience getting affordable or cheap eyeglasses from EO Optical back in May 2017 and how the glasses survived with me through the years. Yes, I've been wearing these glasses for the past 4 years and have gone hiking with me, traveled with me, and my favorite cheap eyeglasses for the gym!

Got Myself Affordable Eyeglasses at EO Optical!

I wasn't planning to buy affordable eyeglasses or any glasses for that matter when I bought this from EO Optical a few years back but I have just been to an Ever Bilena Big Beauty event and accidently left my glasses in a cab. Thankfully, my Uber destination was Landmark Trinoma because I wanted to buy some grocery so when I saw that they have an EO Optical, I went in and happily came home with these affordable eyeglasses that have become a favorite over the years.

I usually buy my stylish and affordable glasses at Firmoo, by the way, but I will write about that later. To date, I bought 5 pairs from them for the past 4 years and love all!

Effective skin whitening products or skin whiteners are one of the most popular topics that people ask me about because I have fair skin for a Filipina.

REVIEW Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer - Is It A Good Concealer for Acne Prone and Sensitive Skin? #maybellineph #drugstoremakeup #TipidBeauty

Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer is something that I've always had in my makeup kit. I've been using this for years and this has remained my favorite for so long that I hoarded several tubes a few years back. Now that I am on my last one, it is time for a review!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer Review - Is It A Good Concealer for Acne Prone and Sensitive Skin?

I have acne-prone and sensitive skin so I need a concealer that is light enough to use under the eye, has enough coverage to cover my pimple marks, and can withstand the scorching heat of the Philippine climate without sliding off my combination-oily skin. If you have the same skin issues, you will probably like the Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer!

REVIEW GRWM Cosmetics Multi-Use Creamy Tint Swatches with WEAR TEST of the Milk Tints for 3 DAYS

GRWM Cosmetics Multi-Use Creamy Tint also goes by the name GRWM Cosmetics Milk Tint so don't be confused by the name. They are the same product from the new Filipino Cruelty-Free Makeup Brand, GRWM Cosmetics by Mae Layug.

What is the GRWM Cosmetics Multi-Use Creamy Tint? 

1. GRWM Cosmetics Milk Tint is a multi-use creamy tint that is like a cross of the best characteristics of Colourette ColourTints and EB Advance Power Paint. 
2. You get a cream tint that spreads like a water-based product but has the soft feel and richness of an oil-based balm with the saturation and diffused quality of a powder. 

REVIEW Careline Glow Getter Palette Price and Swatches

Careline Glow Getter has been in my stash for more than a year now but I just didn't have a chance to write a stand-alone review for it in the past. It is one of the most affordable multi-purpose face palettes in the Philippine Drugstore Makeup aisle that is readily available and affordable. It is cruelty-free and vegan too! I just don't reach out for it as often because the shades are more suitable for someone with a morena skin tone and I have fair skin but considering everything, it's a good buy!

Careline Glow Getter Review, Price, and Swatches

I say that this is a good buy because I can't blame a makeup product that I bought to review for not being perfectly made for my skin tone. With this said, the Careline Glow Getter palette only has one shade combination available. It just so happens that I have other palettes that are better for me but I will still review this for those who might be interested.
