REVIEW Strokes Beauty Lab Products Launch - The Brow Artist Collection for Natural and Full Looking Brows

Strokes Beauty Lab launched their Brow Artist Collection recently and luckily, PinayBeautyAndStyle blog was one of the first given the opportunity to try it! They only launched brow products this time but a little bird shared with me that soon, they will also release lippies as well as face products. I am always happy to hear about new Filipino Makeup Brands, especially cruelty-free ones so let's dive in with the review!

BRTC Perfect Calming Gel Review, Ingredients, and Thoughts for my Sensitive Skin

I have acne-prone and sensitive skin so it isn't easy to find products to calm it especially when it is acting up. I usually use a lot of soothing gels as you can see in my Best Soothing Gel Battle video but I usually use them on my body and not my face because they can sometimes feel heavy. Needless to say, I've always been on the lookout for a gel product to soothe my facial skin whenever it is irritated. Thankfully, I've discovered the BRTC Perfect Calming Gel!

Esfolio Skincare Review and Kbeauty Favorites - Top Recommendations

Esfolio Philippines is the local distributor of the Korean skincare brand, Esfolio. I've posted several blog posts about them as well as videos. In this blog post, I'll just be summarizing my video from half a year ago talking about my favorite skincare products from Esfolio. They're still my favorites to this day with the addition of the Gold Mask and the Esfolio Collagen Mist.

Ra & Gowoori Eyebrow Pencil Review plus Chika About Saeyu Philippines

I like a lot of Ra & Gowoori skin care products. I was there during the Ra & Gowoori Launch in Trinoma under Saeyu Enterprises last year.  I am also a frequent customer of some of the nanay angels who sell Ra & Gowoori products in Shopee and Trinoma (though I don't use my blogging name for my shopping account). I have a video of the event but didn't have photos because I came in late. You can read DollUpMari's blog on the Ra & Gowoori Launch HERE. 

Ra & Gowoori Eyebrow Pencil Review plus Chika About Saeyu Philippines 

So anyway, last week was the first time I found out that they have makeup products too. I usually just buy the takal skincare so didn't know they have makeup. I only found out because Saeyu.Net (which is going to launch soon) sent me a blogger mail parcel of some Snody products and Ra & Gowoori products. I shall be able to share reviews of them soon because some are the same products I've been buying from my suking nanay angels from Saeyu Philippines facebook (click HERE), hello po nanay Helen and nanay Janelle, hahaha! 

Ponds Mineral Clay Mask Review - Does the White Beauty Variant Really Brighten Skin?

My Ponds Mineral Clay Mask Review of the detox variant was posted about 6 weeks ago and since I also used the Ponds Mineral Clay Mask White Beauty variant for a few weeks, I figured to also share a review as well since a lot of readers are surely looking for products to brighten skin too.

Ponds Mineral Clay Mask Review - Does the White Beauty Variant Work to Brighten Skin?

I got a resealable sachet instead of a tube because I can't find the Ponds Mineral Clay tubes where I live. Each sachet is good for 2 uses to brighten skin but can be stretched up to 4 and retails for just P30 per 8 grams sachet. 

Esfolio Snow Whitening Cream Review - Get Instant Glow from Within!

Esfolio Snow Whitening Cream intimidated me at first because I thought that it would look too white on my skin. Other creams that claim users can get instant glow from within are usually too thick and too white, making the user look like 'espasol'. I finally started using Esfolio Snow Whitening Cream as my base a few weeks ago and am really happy with the results.

Ever Bilena Fig Trio Swatches and Review from Face Trio Collection - Better than the EB Advance Blush Duo?

Ever Bilena and EB Advance has a ton of new products recently. They've released Careline Play to Slay palette yesterday at Lazada and also launched a new all mattes eyeshadow palette. I think those will take a while to hit stores so before I get to play with them, I figured I should first publish a written review of the Ever Bilena Fig Trio from the Face Trio line of EB Advance.

Cream Silk Ultimate Color Revive, Sulfate Free Conditioner for Colored Hair REVIEW! #MyUltimateVibrance #UltimatelyVibrantHair

Cream Silk Keratin Conditioner has been on my stash of my regular hair care products. However, I recently colored my hair, going from my natural dark brown to blonde and then going from blonde to red hair. Needless to say, my hair needed extra care!

Infracyte High Potency L Vita C Antioxidant Serum 10% Review (about 1 year of use!)

I first blogged about the Infracyte High Potency L Vita C Antioxidant Serum 10%  last year and at that time, I've only been using it for about 2 weeks. This blog review is a republished and updated version of that Infracyte Vitamin C Serum review because I feel that skincare need ample time to work for anyone to see real results.

Infracyte High Potency L Vita C Antioxidant Serum 10% Review (about 1 year of use!)

The first time around that I tried Infracyte Vitamin C Serum was when I was really breaking out and had bad skin a year ago. That was also the time that I gained a lot of weight because of stress and so the effects were really visible on my skin. I figured that since Infracyte is distributed by Eiskin in the Philippines and is under the same cosmeceuticals umbrella as Mesoestetic (a brand I trust), that it must be great too! And it is!

So, What is Infracyte High Potency L Vita C Antioxidant Serum 10%?

Vice Cosmetics Duo Finish Foundation Review, Swatches, Price, with Wear Test

Vice Cosmetics Duo-Finish Foundation was launched 3 days ago and I've already published a video review at the PinayBeautyAndStyle YouTube Channel aside from this written review. Like this review, my video review for the Vice Cosmetics Duo-Finish Foundation includes wear test of both dry application and wet application plus a summary of my experience testing it out. You can view that review video further down this blog post.

Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Water and Mimosa Flower Body Wash Review #SmallActsOfSummerLove

Reviewed the Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Oil and Ylang-Ylang Shampoo and Conditioner a few days ago and today, I'm featuring another product from Love Beauty and Planet Summer Collection - the body wash from their Coconut Water and Mimosa Flower line!

Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Water and Mimosa Flower Body Wash Review

Using body wash for bathing is usually just a cold-weather obsession of mine (because the skin on my body dries up when it is cold) but I think that will soon be a thing of the past because I really like this body wash. Because of my positive experience with this, I'm planning to buy the other Love Beauty and Planet body wash products available in the Philippines too.

OTWOO Liquid Blush Review with Swatches - Is It as Good as NeeCara?

Otwoo liquid blush is something I've been wanting to try for a while but I was really worried that it would cause breakouts and all since the brand isn't well-known in the Philippines. I've also heard of NeeCara or Nee Cara Liquid Blush and heard that Otwoo Liquid Blush is the same product, only that O.two.O (is this the right spelling?) is cheaper than the Thai Nee Cara Liquid Blush because O.two.O is a Chinese makeup brand and so they get theirs straight from the factory in China. Is this true? Hmm, I think so! Let me tell you why!

O.TWO.O Liquid Blush Review - Is It as Good as Nee Cara Blush? 

So Nee Cara Liquid Blush has been trending in Philippine Beauty Groups in FB. I didn't buy my own because I was worried its gonna break me out. After further research, I found out that Nee Cara and OtwoO liquid blushes have the exact same shades. Further digging revealed that yup, other ladies have observed this too. Check out posts at the FB group The Makeup Revolution Ph.

Zenutrients Gugo Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Zenutrients Gugo Strengthening Shampoo has been a part of my bath time essentials since 2015 but for some reason, I just never wrote a review about it. Sure, I've featured it a lot of times in the PinayBeautyAndStyle Youtube channel and IG but I feel that a blog conveys more. The Zenutrients Gugo Strengthening Conditioner was a later addition when I discovered it is available in travel-sized containers.

Kris Life Kit Brow Liner and Brow Mascara Review Beyond Brown and Happy Taupe

KrislifeKit Brow Liner and Brow Mascara was featured in a few of my past blog posts and video posts but I haven't featured a standalone review yet. I'm on my second tube of both colors and I think that now would be the perfect time to post a real review!

Kris Life Kit Brow Liner and Brow Mascara Review Beyond Brown and Happy Taupe

I've been meaning to post this review of the Kris Life Kit Brow Liner and Brow Mascara for almost 2 months now but I'm just too busy most of the time. Anyway, as you can see, the selfies I am using are from 2 months ago back when my hair was still brown. 

In the photo, I've used the shade Happy Taupe for the inner half of my brows and used Beyond Brown for the outer half going to the tail. These days I only used Happy Taupe because my hair is a dark blonde.

Dentiste Love Mint Review - Get Rid of Keto Breath in Just 3 Seconds!

I've been doing keto diet for a few weeks now and as a public speaker, I am usually worried about having keto breath. I'm not much of a gum chewer so my usual course of action is to use mouthwash a few times a day. Talk about inconvenience if you're always on the move, right? Anyway, that's the story behind why I tried Dentiste Love Mint to get rid of keto breath!

Ever Bilena Kris Matte Lip Liner Review and Swatches from Kris Life Kit

I've written so many features and reviews of the Kris Life Kit collection from Ever Bilena (videos too!) and this is a new one for one of the newest products to join the Kris Life Kit Line. I'm usually not a lip liner sort of gal but I make exceptions for products I like. I say this because most lip liners drag on my lips or emphasize my dry lips, thankfully, the Ever Bilena Kris Matte Lip Liner does not do that.

Esfolio Gold Snail Hydrogel Eye Patch Review - Really Great for Tired Eyes!

I love snail skincare! I know I haven't talked much about using skincare with snail ingredient here in the blog but I talked about it so many times on YouTube and Instagram. This is pretty much why I got the Esfolio Gold Snail Hydrogel Eye Patch last year as can be seen on my post about my Esfolio Philippines Haul! Warning, that blog post is picture heavy and comes with a video!

Detail Makeover Stannic Matte Lipstick Review Swatches Price

Detail Makeover Stannic Matte Lipstick is on my list of metallic lipsticks that you should try for the holidays. I thought that since New Year is coming up, I ought to share a written review of the Stannic Matte Lipsticks from Detail Makeover but if you're a video type of gal, scroll below and watch the embedded video!

So Detail Makeover is a Filipino brand of makeup that is now also available in some Department Stores and Grocery Stores. They used to be just sold online under Cosmetix Unlimited and Detail Makeover IG and website. Don't worry though, you can still buy these online, I just mentioned that this is available in stores for those who feel iffy about purchasing online. 

I personally buy from the Detail Cosmetics Shopee store

(click HERE https://shope.ee/8enj9uXtCa)

because they usually have sales and discounts.

As far as I know, the Detail Makeover Stannic Matte Lipsticks are available in just 4 shades,

Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Chocolate Pink Frizz Palette Review, Price, Swatches

I've had the Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Chocolate Pink Frizz Palette for almost 2 years now and I think it is time for a review. Truth be told, I only got this palette from a friend's destash because I was curious about how it will perform. At that time, I wanted a palette with a lot of shimmery shades for creating a Korean Makeup look and this palette did deliver.

Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Chocolate Pink Frizz Palette Price

This retails for $10-$12 online. In the Philippines, I've seen resellers sell this for P600-P1,000. 

Sanosan Baby Products Review - NEW Baby Care Brand in the Philippines!

I have come to terms with the fact that I am now officially a tita blogger, hahaha! I mean, I tried to kept this blog all about beauty reviews but I have to admit that the YouTube videos that get the most view at the PinayBeautyAndStyle YouTube channel are mostly those that deal with tita topics such as shopping, skincare, lifestyle events, and whoa, even baby care!

I don't have a kid yet but I've gone through a ton of little brothers, cousins, and nieces and nephews. I believe the essence of being a woman is to have that nurturing side and so I'm finally blogging about baby products and child care products even though I'm not a mom yet. Tita bloggers for the win!

I chose to write about Sanosan as one of my first forays into the world of tita blogging because I have personally tried and used some of their products (I use some baby products myself because I have ultra-sensitive skin). I've also gifted Sanosan products to friends and family with little kids and newborns in the past year or so. 

Sanosan Baby Products Review - NEW Baby Care Brand in the Philippines! 

So anyway, Sanosan baby products are relatively new in the Philippines. I think they only became locally available in 2017 but I've first heard of the brand in 2016 if I am not mistaken. My first Sanosan product was given to me by my English friend and she got it from Germany. That's why I was so happy when they finally came here in the Philippines! I've only personally tried 3 Sanosan baby products so far, the Sanosan Anti-Stretch Mark Cream, the Sanosan Natural Kids 3-in-1 Shower, Shampoo, and Conditioner for Girls and my personal favorite, the Sanosan Baby Ointment.
