Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask

Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask has been popular for a long while, but I've only recently gotten to try it. Why? It's not locally available in store. It is available on Althea Philippines for P550. Take note that there is also a Super Volcanic version.


Edit: This post has been in my drafts folder for such a long while. I've been using it for over a year! However, since Innisfree just launched in the Philippines, it's okay to post?

Hehe.

Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway

20% off a Php 480 sunscreen? I'm sold! So I bought the Petal Velvet Sunaway without thorough research.


I didn't look when I leaped, and this is where it got me.

Fall Lips 2018

You know how my last post was all about lips? Well, it's because I've been using more lip products recently. But I always seem to keep coming back to this killer combo this fall...



This is a lip balm and lip topper (for me) together.

Lip Tip: How to Solve Chapped Lips

The weather's turned cooler, and that, along with an unfortunate allergic reaction a month previously, have made my lips a dry, flaky mess that no amount of my DIY lip scrub could fix.

So what to do about it?

New Nails with Chic Nail Color in Mod Beige

It's already November, and while my face and wardrobe are transitioning to darker shades, my nails are still nude. I've just been loving Chic's nail polish in Mod Beige and I still don't want to go for berries and golds right now. Nudes aren't really seasonal anyway...



This nude was found at Watsons after nearly 30 minutes of comparing shades without the benefit of swatches and having sales ladies stare at me for taking so long to pick a polish that was only Php 35 (~80 cents).  But honestly, I was in the market for a nude and most colors available in the drug store are always so frickin shiny (pearls or metals) and I just wanted a plain cream that blended into my skin without being too dark, too pink or too cold.

Anyway, I heart this color and it is the only shade of polish I've bought this year so it's been well used. Since this is a light shade with a cream finish, I'd have wanted a thicker, wider brush as these are very fiddly for a noob like me (as you can see that I had some trouble with my middle finger). But with this price point, I really can't complain.

Edit: Chic Nail Color has new packaging. Mod Beige is still available for Php 38.
