Hey everyone! I'm back with another review and this time I'm featuring a product you can conveniently buy online from Sephora Philippines. I think every beauty enthusiast in the country rejoiced over Sephora Philippines' debut in 2016 and it has since then been one of my go-to online shops. I checked out their site during the recently concluded National Lipstick Day and ironically ended up not getting a lipstick but got a few skincare stuff instead. I'm only featuring one item because I think it deserves an entire post rather than a quick mention. This product is none other than the Caudalie Beauty Elixir.
Hey guys! Avon, one of the world's trusted brands in the beauty industry, finally joins the online community. Now you can order online with just a click! Check out Avon's best selling products here and experience hassle-free shopping.
Thank you for dropping by and have a great week ahead!
Hey guys! A good friend of mine recently opened her new online store thefabpanda.com in time for the new year. Her stocks are directly bought from the US and are items she'd get for herself so expect them to be must-haves.
I immediately signed up for an account the moment I saw the NYX Blush in Pinched among the items being sold. They say that this is a dupe for the much coveted NARS Blush in Orgasm and since I haven't tried that either, getting this affordable blush from NYX seems a good way to start. Expect a full review on this soon.
In all honesty, I wasn't really getting another item because I'm trying to stick to a certain budget in buying makeup. Since I love hand sanitizers especially those from Bath and Body Works and I had to make a purchase of at least 300 Php to qualify for the shop's opening promo, I gave in and added a PocketBac hand gel in Fresh Picked Cherries. As expected, this hand gel smells refreshing with a hint of cherry scent. They feel sticky for a while but dries off immediately.
Overall, I had a great shopping experience with The Fab Panda. Items were in excellent condition and delivered promptly. So for a stress-free online shopping experience, visit thefabpanda.com now and get a chance to win an amazing price once you purchase at least 300 Php worth of items. Thanks for reading and have a great week ahead!
Hey guys! I recently browsed through multiply and was surprised to find out that it's been exclusively turned into an online shopping site. I'm actually loving the concept because unlike ebay they offer more convenient payment options to online customers.
I've been wanting to get a Sigma dry n' shape so I could easily clean and dry my makeup brushes but ordering it online will take weeks and costs a lot. Good thing I saw this on multiply.
The Brush Guard is designed to protect the bristles of your makeup brushes and makes drying and storage hassle free and fool proof.
There are different sets available but I got the variety pack so I could try them on all my brushes. This includes 4 different sizes of brush guards covering everything from the smallest eye liner brush to the largest powder brush. Come to think of it, I wish I bought 2 packs so I could use one for storage and the other for cleaning.
If you're familiar with curl formers, they pretty much have the same nylon woven material but the similarity ends there because The Brush Guard is flat and shorter.
For demonstration purposes I used my ever reliable Sigma premium travel kit which I use everyday but don't get to clean as often as I want to.
The variety pack is just right to clean almost all the brushes in the kit. The woven nylon stretches to accommodate the brushes leaving small spaces that allow them to breathe.
Aside from storage, The Brush Guard also helps shape and dry your newly washed brushes. To clean your brushes you need anti-bacterial dish washing liquid, olive oil, plate, wide mouth glass container and your brush guards.
Mix 3 parts of anti-bacterial dish washing liquid and 1 part of olive oil. Dip each brush then swirl until all the dirt comes off.
Rinse them under running water, gently squeeze the brush to remove excess water and blot each brush against dry tissue paper. Slip the brush guard over the handle until it extends 1/4 to 1/2 beyond the bristles. Allow the brushes to stand in a glass container with the bristles pointing down. This way, you're preventing water to reach the ferrule and cause early damage.
Now I have a new set of clean makeup brushes to use.
You have to be careful with slipping the brush in each guard and check if the bristles are secured and not peeking through the tiny spaces otherwise the bristles might flair out.
I love that The Brush Guard is capable of multitasking as it helps shape and protect your brushes during storage or cleaning. It's also very affordable and can be bought locally via multiply. I got mine for only Php 250 with free delivery. I will definitely buy another set so I could store my other brushes and alternate them weekly. I also highly recommend The Brush Guard to everyone who owns makeup brushes.
Hello dear readers! I've been sick in the past days with colds and fever but something from the mail made me so happy I felt like experiencing Christmas on the last day of November.
The arrival of my November BDJ box undoubtedly made my day. Though it came a lot later than I expected, seeing the contents made me realize that this box is worth the wait.
This forget-me-not notepad is a complimentary gift from BDJ for answering the survey they sent me via email plus availing a 3-month subscription of the BDJ box.
Don't you just love sharing these inspiring words? "I make things beautiful"
I am so impressed at how the contents were arranged neatly to fit the box. I really had to contain myself from rummaging through it so I could take pictures. Finally after doing several shots I got to unveil the wonderful products included in the November BDJ box.
First thing I looked for was the list of products included in the box but there was none. I was thinking maybe BDJ forgot to put it so I just made my own list.
Products included are as follows: Physiogel intensive cream (50ml), Garnier overnight whitening peeling cream (20ml), Nippon facial cleansing sponge, L'Occitane pure vegetable soap (25g x2 bars), Shiseido extra gentle cleansing foam (7ml x2 tubes), Shiseido benefiance wrinkle resist day cream spf15 (5ml).
Yuka nail polish remover wipes (35 sheets), Calvin Klein Beauty (1.2ml), Dentiste plus white toothpaste (5ml), Garnier multi-action whitening cream (8ml x3 sachets), L'oreal hydra energetic moisturizing gel (5ml).
Have you ever seen such a generous product subscription? Seeing the Physiogel intensive cream in full size alone literally made my jaw drop. It's retailed at PhP 517.35 which obviously costs more than what I paid for each box. The November BDJ box alone is worth more than the amount I paid for my 3-month subscription! What's even better is that they always pitch in extra treats like discount vouchers. I also love that they include high end products I haven't tried and affordable ones that I can repurchase once the samples run out.
I feel like the box keeps getting better and gets more stuffed each time. Now I'm at the edge of my seat in anticipation for the December BDJ box. So if you haven't subscribed yet, this is the best time to do it. Just click here to get started. If you're still not sure, then subscribe for 1 month and I'll bet you will extend it to a few more.
Just when I thought Apple products NEVER go on sale, I got an email 2 weeks ago announcing Apple's one-day shopping event on November 23. Since it actually fell on Black Friday, I thought it was just for US residents so I didn't get too excited.
When Black Friday came, I checked out Apple's website to see how much discount they were giving away. I was shocked to see that the prices were in Philippine currency. I refreshed my connection to make sure, went back to Apple's official website and chose my country but the same site with prices in Philippine peso appeared. It was then that I got convinced Apple was in fact on worldwide sale.
Though the prices still hurt, the 30% discount on their Ipad Smart Case was too tempting to ignore. I really can't remember how much the other items were discounted but most apple products were included in the sale. I was still hesitant buying online since I'm pretty much sure Customs will still charge an additional fee which will defeat the purpose of saving. Good thing my curiosity prevailed and I purchased the Ipad smart case with 30% off its original value.
Though I LOVE everything pink, I got the polyurethane Ipad smart case in dark grey. I figured I already have the pink smart cover so getting the grey smart case is okay. The item was securely packaged in a brown carton. Inside is the original box with a transparent front cover and on the back was an illustration of how the smart cover looks when used with the Ipad.
The front is pretty much the same as the smart cover with its foldable top that can assume several functions such as the wake on open and sleep on close feature, landscape full stand and keyboard stand.
What sets the Ipad smart case apart from the smart cover is that it protects both the screen and aluminum back so the Ipad is fully covered on all sides.
Another thing I love about the smart case is you're able to have anything engraved on the back for a more personal touch.
My fiance engraved his favorite excerpt from Steve Job's speech during Stanford University's Commencement Exercises in 2005.
I'm impressed at how the smart case fits my Ipad like a glove. The docks for charger and ear phones, small openings for the mic, camera and side switch and the covered slots for the on/off and volume switches were accurately customized to fit the Ipad perfectly. The best part for me is the perforated portion on the bottom intended for the speakers preventing the sounds from being muffled. You still get a clear and crisp audio as if the Ipad had no case.
True to its words, Apple did deliver my order within 3 days of shipment. It took approximately 5 days for my Ipad case to arrive from the time I made my purchase. It would've been faster if my order was made on a week day. Just the same, I'm pretty much impressed with how fast Apple processed, shipped and delivered the item. Hands down to their reliable and very efficient customer service. I wasn't charged with any additional fees and DHL delivered it directly to my doorstep.
This by far is the fastest and most efficient international transaction I've ever made. Makes me want to order all my Apple accessories online from now on. I do recommend the Apple online store to everyone who wants lightning fast and reliable delivery of apple products. How about you? Have you ever tried purchasing from Apple's online store? Do share your thoughts below on the comments section. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
