Bubbly Clean Eco-friendlt Toilet & Kitchen Sink Bombs

Okay, I have no idea where these came from so IDK how much they cost, but I really love these toilet bombs.

Well, these Toilet & Kitchen Sink Bombs from Bubbly Clean.

Not a bomb joke!

Snoe Beauty Shoo-zit Dip and Dry Acne Drying Solution

Real life has been getting in the way lately... and part of real life for me is zits. However, it has been a decade since I've found the need for a dedicated drying lotion... until now.

Thankfully, the world has changed and we are left with more choices than the old but effective Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. I loved it in the past (thank you mother for supporting your pimply faced child), because it really did work. But this pimply faced adult cannot afford it.

Thus, we go for newer, less expensive versions/dupes.

Snoe Shoo-Zit Drying Lotion (compared to EOS lip balm for size)

I originally thought about buying the K version of Etude House, but when I found that a Filipino brand made their own, I immediately snapped one up!

Peripera Airy Ink Velvet

My first lip ink! I think this has been around for a while, but I've been using Peripera Airy Ink Velvet in #05 Elf Light Rose for less than a year.

Tetley Super Green Tea

Decided to try some Tetley's instead of the usual Twinnings Green Tea with Lemon. I'm trying to decrease my coffee intake and I don't like Green Tea by itself (unless it is super thick matcha or the good tea leaves).

Anyway, this costs around P500 for 2 boxes at Lazada so it's decently priced. Love the pineapple flavor/scent as a summery drink, even though it's getting cold. This tastes great both hot and on ice, so it has decently held off the temptation of buying those expensive da.u.de blends. Whew.

Might try a few more flavors here, as I want to taste the mango version... or Twinnings berries for fall. We'll see. Only problem with this is that it comes in non-individual tea rounds, which is better for the environment but means you need a dedicated tin to store.

Yays:
Healthy - 2 cals, some vitamin C content
Sweet and delicious
Ethical Tea Partnership

Nays:
Storage - needs dedicated tin, needs to be finished soon after opening (not a problem for me).

Will probably purchase this range again. Costs around 12.5 pesos/bag.  Use a large mug, not cup, to accomodate the rounds.

Quick FX Pimple Eraser

They say insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results.

Welp. Our skin changes over time, so sometimes you do get different results with the same product. But this product?

I was insane to buy this again :(

Spotted: Falsies in the Convenience Store OMG

I don't often browse non food items in convenience stores (because I find the mark-up ridiculous!). So I've only recently seen this on Philippine shores:

FALSE LASHES now available in select convenience stores OMG. At P40 for a basic pair, people who have an emergency lash situation can rejoice!

Lash glue not included. IDK if available in store, but still amazeballs.

Hair Paint MNL Purple Shampoo and Conditioner

I am finally at that hair level that requires purple/silver shampoo :0 It took quite a while to tak the leap from blonde-ish (brownish with blonde highlights) to blond proper since my hair is quite damaged but I've been blonde for a few months now.

But legit question: what is the threshold for blondeness?

There is probably a better way to measure it, but I know I've hit legit blonde since my hair looks like a broom without special shampoo. It doesn't look good at all  の 。の

I was wondering what to get to tone my hair and ended up with Hair Paint MNL's Purple Shampoo, Purple Conditioner and Keratin Mask.

Nivea Extra White Serum

Can I just say how happy I am that Nivea finally decided to give the UVA rating of their Extra White Serum!!

The pink one.

CosRx vs Safeguard Cleanser

This is a short post, but two similar products for me are the CosRx Salicylic Acid Daily Cleanser and Safeguard's Dermasense Facial Cleanser for Oily Skin.

They are both salicylic acid cleansers for acne prone skin. I've seen the hype  for the former, but not for the latter when it first came out in 2015.

I don't understand it.

One is obviously better than the other!

CosRx Galactomyces Whitening Power Essence

This is the first of my CosRx (COSRX? Cosrx?) products to review. Finally, after all the hype has died down, I've started using and reviewing them.

As you can see, I've been using this for quite a while. Only around 1/3 is left....

And probably will be left behind...

Sickness Starter Pack

I hate leaving home when I'm sick, but sometimes I really have no choice. So here are the things I tote around when I have a cough and cold.

VMV: ReReview: Superskin 3 Toner and Moisturizer.

If you backtrack my blog through the years, you'll see that I've been a fan of their products... but not their prices. Such that though it pained my heart, I stopped buying since it hurt my wallet.

However, during one of their sales ages ago, I decided to buy again during one my bad face days....

And some things change, some things stay the same.

UCC Variety Pack Review

Whenever someone in the family travels, I am grateful when they return with a new drink for me to try. Last family member who travelled came back with a UCC variety pack.

Naturally, when I saw there was a piece of blue mountain coffee, I tore into it and claimed it for myself.
