After n years of avoiding Let's Face It! I decided to go there as a family activity. We all got the basic, standard facial package at P245 (around $6 dollars), which was really cheap.... and we got what we paid for!
Basic Facial: Facial Cleaning with Laser and Vacuum - P 245
The mini-massage when they rubbed on the creams pre-pricking felt nice, and so did the steaming. However, there came the dreaded pricking! While it was fine for them, I was in serious pain the entire time those instruments of evil were on my face. I had to tell the aesthetician to leave off my cheeks because I couldn't take it.
My nose is now free from blackheads. But I will never return. Not even for the free check-ups that came with the package. At least for the next n years. I'd rather go to my derma instead and get peel happy!

Noriter
Noriter
Address: 2F Estrada St.
Near Taft Avenue, close to DLSU
Apparently, this cafe has been in business for a while, but it's the first time I was able to go. Fortunately, I was able to catch the place before either the morning/afternoon/evening rush hours, if ever there was. It's a really cute korean place that you reach by climbing up a flight of stairs direct from the ground floor - very different from the usual mall-located coffee spots.

I forgot to take a picture of my drink! Finished it before I remembered. Anyway, I'd like to go back to this place again, though it's a bit out of my way. I understand that it's a hang out spot for DLSU students.

Unit16sweets Peppermint Chocolate Bar
I love chocolate and peppermint. I especially love both of them together, hence my love affair with Starbucks' Peppermint Mocha every Christmas. However, now that Christmas season is over, I find myself craving mint chocolate. Luckily, I discovered this:
Peppermint Chocolate Bar |
Anyway, this is not the best chocolate I've ever tasted, but it's pretty sweet for its price! I liked the fact that it had an expiration date (around a year), but who are we kidding? Chocolate can last 1 week, tops, in my world.
What I didn't like about this? The wrapper! While it looked nice and neat, it felt disgusting on my fingers. Fortunately, the silver foil inside allowed me to unwrap it as soon as possible.
Buy Again?
Of course!

Thin application |
Ok. I should actually use a better camera than my crap fone but... here's a light application. You can use this for 3-4 uses, depending on how heavy you apply it on your face. If you're super stingy, you might actually get 6 uses of it. Here's a light application, but I feel that it does the job well enough. I usually do 2 applications a week. One heavy and one light, as a touch-up. Since my cheeks are not as oily as my T-zone, it's thinner on this area.
The instructions tell you to put it on your face for 3 minutes and that's what I do before washing it off.
Yays
- Keeps me oil free for days! Meaning less zit-y over time.
- Good for 3-4 uses if you're like me, 6 if you're super stingy and 2 if you're a generous applicator.
- Cheap! P49 (a bit over $1) for 2 to 4 to 6 applications, in 2 6 ml doses.
- Doesn't harden completely, so it's easy to wash off.
- Self-heating! So it feels nice on the face.
Nays
I have to apply it twice a week, not once to remain oil-free for the week. But this is a personal, not product failure.
Hays
- Keep away from hair, eyes and other mucous membrane-y areas.
- Try to figure out how much you need (you may not need a thick layer to keep yourself oil-free, or you may not need to put it on your entire face).
Okays
For oily people.
Buy Again?
Yes! I buy this a lot right now as part of my anti-acne regime.
