Sometimes I wish I was still in my twenties.
I would have started to seriously invest on derma sessions and beauty products for the face.
I didn’t do it because I was very lazy and because I thought tatagal ang firm and smooth skin ko forever.
I was wrong.
When I look at the mirror, nandiyan na yung mga lines and my skin is drying like the Sahara Desert.
Naghahabol tuloy ako now.
You have seen how my mother looks like. She’s 63 but she doesn’t look like it.
I grew up watching her lather so many products on her face in the morning and before she sleeps at night.
Sana ginaya ko yun.
But like what everybody says, it’s never too late to start a good beauty regime.
At 36 years old, I am still at the trial and error stage. Though there are products na talagang hiyang sa akin like the Celeteque moisturizer, I still try other products.
Do you wanna see the recent ones that I tried? Isasama ko na din mga make up ha? Madami din kasi ako nadiscover na mga affordable alternatives to the make up that I use. Share ko now.
Like I said, I have very dry skin. I use the Celeteque Moisturizer because it doesn’t give me rashes.
I feel na hindi siya enough so I tried other beauty products that I can use before I sleep. It is during when you sleep daw kasi that the skin rejuvenates so dun yung time na gusto ko maglagay ng kung anik anik sa fez.
I went to a Kiehl’s store. I closed my eyes and bought the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate (Php 2,895) and Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream (Php 1,300).
I have been reading a lot of good reviews about these two products especially the Midnight Recovery Concentrate.
Effective talaga yung Midnight Recovery Concentrate. Sulit siya sa price. I noticed that the next morning, my skin really does look rejuvenated. Parang magic.
I like also the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream pero pang gabi lang talaga siya for me. It’s very greasy so you can really feel that it’s effectively moisturizing the face.
I have been using these two products for almost 6 months now.
I also recently discovered the Celeteque Dual CC face powder. It is affordable at Php 700+.
I alternate this face powder with my Mac Studio Fix NC 40. Mahalia kasi di ba the Mac pressed powder? I wanted to have another face powder para hindi naman maubos agad yung Mac. Pang malakasan na lang na make-up yung Mac.
Next, I totally love this organic Pili Nut lipsticks from Naturale Wonders that Wowa gave me.
I already told you about them here. I like them because they’re very rich when applied and hindi natatanggal basta basta yung color sa lips. They cost around Php 600 each and you can buy them from Beautymnl and Zalora.
For my non-existent eyebrows, I’ve always used the K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo eyebrow. For me, wala na talaga makakatalo sa kanya when it comes to eyebrow make up. It’s very easy to apply and it lasts the whole day. I use the In2It eyebrow powder to fill them out. Mura lang din yang In2It na eyebrow powder na yan.
One time in the office, I misplaced my K-Palette eyebrow make up. Hindi ako pwedeng walang kilay because I will look weird. One of my staff let me borrow this Nichido liquid eyebrow and I liked it.
Pwede na siya pamalit pa-minsan minsan sa K-Palette. The best part is that it only costs Php 238 in SM.
Just last week, when I was making kalkal my products stuff, I saw this Tsururi Pore Peeling tube that Wowa got me from Japan.
I tried it after I washed my face. Para siyang facial scrub. It doesn’t smell nice pero mga bakla, the next day, ang glowing ng skin ko! After using it, I put on a moisturizing mask from The Face Shop. Like I said, the next day, my skin looked and felt so nice. Amazing talaga!
Eto ang problem ko, I do not know where I can buy this Tsururi! Japan lang talaga?! Help ha if you know where. Super nice that product.
Lastly, I am loving my new Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume.
I am not fond of strong perfumes. Ayoko yung naka-alis na ako and all, naaamoy pa nila ako. I’m into fresh and soft scents. Yung tipong mapapalingon ka pero the scent is not overpowering. Daisy of Marc Jacobs is really like that. Wag niyo lang of course ibuhos sa sarili niyo, mga one or two sprays lang, ang sarap ng amoy.
So that’s it!
Kayo? Do you have products that you would want to recommend to us? =)
Please do share them!
