MY FAVES in CYLEINA ORGANIC SOAPS

I know lotsa blogger and girltalkers out there can testify to the effectiveness of Cyleina products. These are organic soaps that can deliver everything you want to achieve on your skin. They have different variants that can satisfy what your'e opting to achieve. :)

As for me, here are my favorite variants of Cyleina Soaps:

WHITENING
1. Black Pearl - the best seller among the line. Though the size is small it really delivers what it claim- whitening. I have stopped my supplements after using this for month! Big savings! I'm pairing black pearl to dove soaps. And I use them at night before going to sleep since BP is mentholated.

2. PGM - my second fave whitening soap plus it has moisturizers

3. TOMATO - really gives a glowing look in your skin

EXFOLIATING
-these are all safe to use daily. I usually combo them and useverymorning. My alternate combos:

1. Rice Bran paired with Tomato
2. Strawberry paired with GSE or Shea Butter
3. Honey Oatmeal paired with PGM

MOISTURIZING
- both really gives smooth feeling and subtle smell
1. Grape Seed Extract
2. Shea Butter

For the face, I use Beauche Beauty Bar and Clean and Clear Daily Pore Cleanser if I want to exfoliate.. :)

Beauche Facial Set

Saturday! had my LHR 2nd session..Ü

I don't usually blog on weekdays 'coz of my busy sched at work and as an Accountant, month end is super toxic.

Today I just want to blog about my ever HG facial care- Beauche International Facial Set.


Beauche was introduced first to my sister by her officemate in Air Phils. She received it as a gift. At first, she was hesitant in using it kasi nga not known yung product tsaka medyo bago pa lang siya sa Air Phil. Until nakita niya yung pagbabago ng skin nun kasamahan nia sa work, she decided to use it also. 2 weeks palang noticeable na yung changes. Pumuti yung face niya and glowy yung skin. Pati sa mga pictures hindi na dull yung mga kuha. Nagbenta siya, she was the first one to make this as a biz, I'm one of her clients. It was October 2007 when I started using it. Ginamit ko 'to while I was on leave sa office. 2 months din kasi akong nawala kasi I took a review class. Pagbalik ko ng office, voila! Lahat pinansin na mas maganda daw yung face ko. Clearer, glowy at rosy cheeks! Ü

My sister continued the biz until she left for Abu Dhabi. Greater opportunities for her. Kaya ako nagtuloy. I started sa office, sa friends then sa multiply. I'm proud to say that I am one of the pioneers dito sa multiply. Yung iba kasi sa ebay and sulit nagbebenta. Yep, I admit mahal benta ko dati kasi I was startin' palang pero ngayon at retail ko na siya binebenta 'coz medyo madami na akong customers. Maganda kasi talaga ang effect ng Beauche kaya kahit costly, patronized pa din. Ü

Amazing product deserves a good review. Five stars for BEAUCHE. Achieve a clear, supple and rosy skin in 7 days. Ü

Here's my before and after pic.. Ü

before

after (three months of continued usage)

After almost three years I'm still using it pero not on a daily basis.. Every other day nalang.. Tapos I rid na yung age eraser and used BB creams instead. Minsan, I used a set of Beauche 'pag naubos change of products na, but since then I never get rid of it in my beauty routine. Ü

REVIEW: GARNIER SELF-HEATING MASK + CLEAN AND CLEAR DAILY PORE CLEANSER

I had my period so I wasn't able to go to Luz or M for a facial. These dirts on my face really bothers me so as quick remedy here's what I've tried.

I have used Garnier Pure Self-heating mask before and consider this as my review.

For me, it really delivers its purpose - to remove that stubborn dirt on your face in just 3 minutes. I'm using it once a week. I just apply it on my face and you will feel the heat, leave it for 3 minutes and rinse it. The result, cleansed pores! You can also extract some whiteheads and blackheads (mildly) since the pores are now already open due to the inflicted heat or in my case since I have my period, I used Clean and Clear Deep Pore cleanser instead, scrub it, rinse it and that's it! Cleansed face after!

Though it's not that perfect like when you go to facials but as a weekly routine it's very effective in cleansing your face for those dirts that hard to removed and clogged your pores.

I gave both products 5 points. :)

BB Cream Reviews

I got the chance to try 3 samples of BB Creams. Liole Beyond Solutions, Skinfood Aloe and Missha Perfect Cover. These free samples were given by Clau. For those who want to try out first and would not like to buy full size of BB creams Clau is selling samples in ebay, you can check her username: dreamfairy07

Here are my review: (sorry no pics)

I used all the BB creams morning before I go to work. No MMUs applied just plain BB cream so I could really tell what effect it would make me during the day.

Liole Beyond the Solutions

When I applied it nothing different happened. It was like I applied a normal moisturizer. As for oil control, it's not effective for me. 2 hrs after oily na agad. So as a remedy, used my finpow- AL's URFP, good thing URFPs are good to control the oilies.

Would I buy this one? Definitely no.

Skinfood Aloe

This is the first one I road tested. The finish is matte but for me coverage is not that good though it has. I have dark circles that really needs to be covered kasi. For oilies, it is somehow ok and it should be ok 'coz the product is suitable for those with oily skin. I think I used a blotting paper around lunch time na. For me this product is good for daily stuffs, when you just walk outside to get some fresh air, or go to a friend's house or buy something at a nearby store.

Would I buy this one? Maybe, for daily purposes it's good but it's costly to be a daily stuff.

Missha Perfect Cover

The name speaks for itself Perfect Cover. The coverage for me is good. Dark circles covered, and got a flawless finish. It is the first sample that I used up. It does control my oilies, used blotting paper around 2pm in the afternoon. I can say that this is my HG BB cream so far. With high SPF, my sunblock was just saved from daily usage.

Would I buy this one? Definitely yes.

Still scouting some brands. I might try TFS Quick and Clean or The Skin. What would you recommend? Or do you have other brands that in mind?

Blemish Balm aka BB cream the new rage in skin care and make-up

With the raves of BB cream I've decided to try it. Here's what I've found about it.

http://ezinearticles.com/?What-is-a-BB-Cream?&id=2204768

"In short, it's a combination of a ton of really good things that you want on your skin. They contain anti-aging and anti-acne stuff, and let your face look more natural by acting as a foundation, concealer, and moisturizer, all in one! For many people who are on the run and skimp out on their morning routines at times, they're great for drastically cutting the time you need to spend.

BB Creams also contain sun protection, preventing you from needing to apply sun protection. Their application leaves your skin looking natural, so nobody really knows that you've got all these great things happening with your skin.

They do have to problems, however. First, the fact that they include moisturizers can lead people with oily skin away from them. I have some problems with the oiliness in my t zone area, but it's nothing major. If you have excessively oily skin, I'd try some at the makeup counter before buying it, just to make sure that you don't feel greasy.

Second, and more importantly, I haven't found them in dark tones. Have light skin? You'll be happy. If you're darker like I am, however, you'll have a hard (heck, impossible so far) time finding something that matches your skin. When they do release dark toned bb creams, I'll be all over them, but until then I can't really use them without looking strange."

As a start, I receive this loot of BB creams in jars from Clau. Thanks Clau. Will give reviews soon. :)

Loreal UV Perfect vs Neutrogena Helioplex

I'm one of the girls out there who prioritize skin care. Maybe it's because the largest organ in our body is our skin and it's really what we see in each of us everyday.

As part of my skin care routine, I really don't go out without a sunscreen (kahit gabi) :D

I've tried sunblocks from different derma and sunblock from drugstores. The latest that I've used was Age Eraser of Beauche. I have no problems with using Age Eraser as my sunscreen, well in fact it's like you put on a BB cream on your face. I can go outside without powder or make-up just a lip balm. They claim that it has SPF 35 but having no definite list of the ingredients in the package makes me wonder, am I really protected?

So I've researched about sunblocks and found this two: Loreal UV Perfect XL Block Advanced Spray Protector for Chest, Arms and Hands SPF 40 (good for the face too) and Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 50.

I rushed to Cash and Carry and looked for these items. They are cheaper there than those in malls. Luckily, I found Neutrogena, I will first try this before Loreal sana. On the way to my boyfriend's workplace, napadaan ako sa Landmark and sale yung Loreal. The SA is good too so I was able to buy Loreal din. BI yung SA eh.. hehehe! So I tried both sa face and body and here's my review.
