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.

Havaianas Slim Season 09

Waaaaaah! They're here! When I heard of it natense na naman ako.. hahaha! I am a slim season collector. Buti nalang apat lang per year ang nilalabas nila. Buti nalang talaga! Nung 2007, (that time nagkakaubusan ng mga styles/stocks) tatlo nabili ko branco, cafe and violet. I missed the red one, yung tomato. Yung green hindi nilabas sa Pinas pero may mga nagbebenta pa rin sa multiply. Last 2008, branco and lilac (gift) yung nakuha ko. I missed, golden sun and cafe. This year, lahat sila maganda. Kayo na lang mag judge ng pic na hinanap ko sa google.. :)

Weeeeee! Naeexcite na talaga ako.. Adik na to..........

My Blusche Brushes Haul

I was lemming for these brushes ever since I saw them in Blusche ph store website. Sabi ko, it was so EDMs that I really wanna try. I have EDM brushes kasi which I bought from Jack. EDM brushes so far never fails me. So soft and the application is just really amazing!

Back to Blusche, unfortunately the brushes were not available the time I saw them so I emailed Monica as to when the brushes will be available, mga March daw. So everytime I'm online, lurk ako sa site ng Blusche then end of Feb they're on back orders!!!! Panic mode ang lola mo. Add to cart! hahaha!

So on with the story, here are the pics of my new babies..

Blusche vs EDM

When I received my haul. I tested them agad.

First test: Wash 'em off

OMG! I was amazed really amazed! It didn't shed! As in it didn't! To think, na hindi ko pa siya dinahandahan. As in, barubal wash ang ginawa ko. hahaha! 5 out of 5 for not shedding :)

Second test: Using 'em

The brushes are soft and the application is good. Kung wala siguro akong EDM I'll give 5 points but with EDMs with me. 3 out of 5. :)
