I have oily skin and shine/hulas is a constant struggle.  This powder, I would say is my current favorite in this hellish hot summer weather.

I might be somewhat late into the bandwagon.  I have been hearing good reviews about Missha Perfect Cover BB cream for some time.  I gave it a try, and I have been a fan since. Here's my quick review on this product.

Maybelline Micellar Water

Maybelline Micellar Water
200mL

Micellar water is a solution that cleanses the skin without the use of soap or even need for rinsing.  It removes makeup and dirt without stripping away moisture unlike most toner (or alcohol-based toners).  Mostly it is used a makeup remover.

Tick and Flea Killer

I've tried out this more expensive tick and flea repellant named Frontline.  Price rannges from Php300-Php400 per vial in Cartimar.  It is definitely cheaper to buy the whole box containing 3 vials for Php900.

The day I dreaded came - the day the leatherette on my headphone ear cushion flakes away.  Darn it!  My Urbanears headphone is only a year old, and this has happened to her already.  Just check out the photo below.

Nyx Eyebrow Gel claims this product is waterproof, long-lasting, and smudge-proof... I totally agree!

Mango Coconut Overnight Oats Recipe

Overnight Oats
Mango Coconut

This is a no-cook recipe in the sense that you don't need to apply heat.  All it takes is mixing up all the ingredients and keeping it in the refrigerator preferably overnight to "cook."  Mango with coconut milk is definitely my favorite flavor.

Read on below for the recipe...

 I do not have an exact recipe here.  I just eyeball it depending on the size of the jar I am using.

 Mango Coconut Overnight Oats
*ripe mangoes
*coconut milk
*oats
*chia seeds (optional)
*vanilla
*honey

1.  Fill a jar halfway with oats and chia seeds.
2.  Pour the fresh coconut milk until it covers the oats.  You can add water or milk if the coconut milk is not enough.
3.  Add a teaspoon at a time of vanilla and honey to taste.  Don't make it too sweet because the ripe mango will be added later.
4.  Put the lid on the jar and shake vigorously until mixed thoroughly.
5.  Refrigerate for a few hours until the oats and chia seeds have soften.
6.  Just before serving, add the ripe mangoes on top.  Enjoy.
 
Thank you for reading.

God bless.  (^_~)

Batiste Floral Essences

Batiste Dry Shampoo
Floral Essences

This is my first time to try a dry shampoo.  It is very useful when you've been out in the sun for so long and just wanted to refresh your hair.  Dry shampoo can reduce greasiness and bring volume back.  Who does not want to have fresh smelling hair?

Daiso Charcoal Mask

Daiso Natural Pack
Charcoal Peel-Off Mask

This has been out of stock for the longest time whenever I visit Daiso or Saizen stores.  I had seen this before on the beauty section, and because I can't read Japanese, I did not get myself one.  I did a little research and found out that this is one of the beauty favorites from Daiso.  As fate would have it, when I returned to Daiso, it was sold out.  I guess it was sheer luck when I spotted this again.  Happy me.

Argan Oil Conditioner
Big Tub - 1 kg


If you have dry damaged hair, then this is the conditioner for you.  You can use it as an alternative to hot oil treatment.  The big plus is that this tub is 1 kilograms.  That should be enough to last you not less than 3 months of use.

These two colors are part of the Matte family of Colourpop Lippie Stix.  The other finishes are Satin/Pearlized, Glossy, and Hyper Glossy.
 

I follow @dupethat in Instagram and first introduced into these uniquely designed lipsticks.  At first you would think of them as thick lip pencils, but they are actually lipsticks in thinner stick bullets.  It is easier to apply as it sits perfectly on the lip line.

Wanted to try out this curious thing tagged as "liquid gold" aka "argan oil."  Oil of Argan is one of the local brands that offered this incredible oil.  Bought my bottle from Sesou.  I forgot how much it is, but I think it is in the range of Php500-Php700.

Maybelline Eyestudio Crayon Brow in Gray

Maybelline
Eyestudio Crayon Brow in Gray
Natural Brow Liner


I found a fairly good waxy brow liner in Maybelline.  This particular one is in the color GRAY and is a current favorite of mine.  As you know, locally, it is rare to find a gray liner.  Usual eyebrow liner are brown or black.  The brown is fine, but the black can turn out to be too much.
