NEW Cetaphil Ultra Protect - A Hydrating Soap Bar that Also Protects The Skin!

Something new from Cetaphil! Been a fan of their moisturizers as can be seen in my YouTube videos and they came up with the new Cetaphil Ultra Protect - a hydrating soap bar that also protects the skin!

I've tried the soap for a few days and as far as I can tell in that short time, it does work for keeping the skin moisturized. I haven't tested the pH level nor the deodorizing effect (how can that be truly tested? right?) but I've noticed that I do still feel fresh after a long day when I am showering with this soap. 

You can buy this in Cetaphil's official store in Shopee https://s.shopee.ph/9pOH0sgcnw (CLICK that link to avail of brand discounts). The retail price is P390 per bar

Sharing the PRESS RELEASE from the brand below!

Pantene with Bigger and Better 3-Minute Miracle Conditioner

Does size really matter? It does, with the Bigger and Better Pantene 3-Minute Miracle Conditioner!

Now, the following article is a press release. I've just added a bit of commentary and my own photos as an avid user of Pantene products throughout the years :)

Pantene rises up to the challenge with their bigger and better 3-Minute Miracle Conditioner

It’s a question that has long intrigued the minds of many. And in many everyday situations, size certainly does matter. By going big, there’s more to be enjoyed, loads more to treat yourself to, and, simply put: You get more out of the things you buy and get your money’s worth.

Personally, I feel that using sachets costs more in the long run. It does cost more per ml if you're using sachets of your favorite products and in my case, I often use 2 or more sachets as I have very thick and very long hair. I'm always on the lookout for sulit finds. 

If you are interested to buy some Pantene products, I highly recommend purchasing via their official Shopee store HERE Pantene Shopee Store. 

I can't believe that we've been in a pandemic situation for about 2 years and from what it looks like, it is not ending anytime soon. Good thing that companies are companies are coming up with new products to keep us safe, right? And speaking of new products, I am very excited to share my thoughts on the new Clorox Disinfectants Wipes!

Clorox New Disinfectant Wipes! Perfect Solution to Protect Your Health

I'm a self-confessed clean freak. I love sitting on the floor and I also love pets so ultra-clean surfaces are a must for me. One thing that I do not like, though, is that most cleaning products have strong fumes and are not very user-friendly. Like you need to bust out a mop and a pail if you want clean floors. This is why I prefer wipes, but most wipes do not have real disinfectant properties or they can be very expensive. 

Enter Clorox disinfectant wipes. Not only are these wipes convenient to use, but they are affordable too. I checked how much everything costs (the package was sent to me as  PR kit) because I like them and was surprised that everything is affordable. I've already bought the same products in this kit because I used them for a good month before posting :)

If you are interested to buy Clorox products, they are available online in the Clorox Shopee store. CLICK THIS LINK >>>https://shope.ee/5KXSS8Eofx<<< so you can get discounts and avail of ongoing promos.

UNBOXING! Lash Lab Manila Lash Drawer - First in the Philippines!

I can't even remember when I started looking for a lash book or a lash drawer to help me organize my stash of falsies, but it seems all lash books and lash drawers being made are meant for little girls! Of course I'm not happy with that, so I simply made do with stashing my lashes in pill boxes, the sides of my laptop, and everywhere else...and then I saw Lash Lab Manila's newest creation.

Behold! The Lash Lab Manila Lash Drawer!!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!  I can't believe my eyes when I saw the photo above because I've been looking for something like that for so long! It's sleek, versatile-looking, thick enough to house costume falsies, and it is locally available (and locally made!).

NEW Head and Shoulders Smooth and Silky Shampoo + Conditioner Review!

So a week ago, I blogged about receiving a PR package from SampleRoomPh as part of being a #SRBeautyInsider. They sent me some of the newest products from Head and Shoulders here!

I've used head and shoulder menthol anti-dandruff shampoo whenever my scalp starts getting itchy in the past but the faint mentholated scent of that have always reminded me of my brother's shampoo. Imagine my delight when I found these Head and Shoulders Smooth and Silky shampoo and conditioner inside my parcel!

MAYBELLINE COLORSENSATIONAL CREAMY MATTE BROWN NUDES Swatches + Review (video and photos!)

Is it just me or have you also noticed that everyone is going gaga over brown lipsticks these days? The launch of these Maybelline Colorsensational Creamy Matte Brown Nude lipsticks confirmed that the above is so, so, so true!

But wait, if you're already around when the 90s rolled by, you probably think that brown lipsticks are for the emo, choker-loving tribe of fashionistas. Well these Maybelline Creamy Mattes are a whole new different type of paint peeps!

You guys liked my review of the Ever Bilena Eyeshadow Palette in Pink so here I am sharing with you my thoughts on the BROWN palette!

The brown palette piqued my interest because it seems to be all-matte from photos on Instagram and since I picked up the pink one, it just makes sense to go ahead and get the sister palette for review and swatches, right?

Like the pink palette, this one goes for only 150 pesos and has 6 shades with more than a gram of product per shade. The packaging is sleek and very travel-friendly. I even liked the sponge tip applicator that comes with it!

Here is how it looks like in the box together with it's pink sister. Aren't they cute?

Ever Bilena Eyeshadow Palette in Pink Swatches and First Impressions Review + VIDEO!

I've been absent from blogging lately because of crazy work schedule and I know I owe you guys A LOT of reviews! I'm starting off this review spree with a first impressions review and swatches of the Ever Bilena eyeshadow palette in pink!

I've been seeing this palette all over Instagram but I held off from purchasing one for a while because I already have a lot of neutral eyeshadow palettes. That is... until the day when one of my students asked me if I am wearing this palette. I was wearing my Lorac Unzipped Gold at that time and my student remarking that she noticed my makeup did not budge for a whole day of lecture and thinking that I am wearing this Ever Bilena palette piqued my interest. I was like, "okay Andie, time for you to check this out!". At Watson's that day, I was surprised to find out that the palette is only 150 pesos. I was thinking that it would be around 300-500ish ***inner scream YEY!*** so, happy with my find, I paid for the palette without swatching and got back to my hotel

***I'm a nurse review lecturer by the way, so I am often on the road.

I actually forgot about the palette until I got back home and noticed it when I was unpacking. Lo and behold! It is prettiness galore!

First time swatching it the morning I got home. Can you hear the halleluiah in the background?

O.M.G! My heart and my eyes lit up. SOOOOOO shining, shimmering, splendid!

EB Advance Matic Lipstick Review + First Impressions | #PinayBeautyAndStyle

Annnnnddddd I am back with a first impressions review featuring another local drugstore makeup. This time, I am featuring the EB Advance Matic Lipstick, yey! Just a heads up, the video I took (you'll see it at the latter part of this post) was kind of an impromptu slash spur-of-the-moment thing but I think it did capture the essence of a first impressions review so I am sharing it with all of you!

Essence Stay All Day 16 Hr Long Lasting Makeup WEAR TEST and First Impressions

Hey, hey, hey everyone! I know that this essence cosmetics product isn't new and that it has been around for years, but I've recently gotten this from the Watson's at SM Beauty section. I thought to myself, what better time to do a first impressions try-on review of a foundation for oily skin than now since it is summer in the Philippines!
