The older you get the more you understand the consequences of mistreating your skin when you were young. Today women are more inclined to appreciate the importance of nourishing and pampering their skin. This is after all, irreplaceable. #1 Removing makeup is too often ignored.

WTF is Astaxanthin? (Benefits, Side Effects, Dangers) and is it Overrated?

REVIEW: CANMAKE Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF50
Hello guys, first product to review from my Canmake haul is their Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF 50 (790php from Canmake Philippines). First thought was “Ohh…. this is too expensive for an everyday sun protection“. But I shelled out 790php anyway. There were so many rave reviews online from bloggers to redditors that I had to try it for myself! Was it really a stand-out from the rest of the sunscreens in the market? Sometimes, there are days where you just like to reward yourself and purchase as many makeup as you can from 1 certain brand. This is what happened to me last month. I’ve been obsessing over Canmake Cosmetics. *drumroll* This…

Grace Cosmetics Review | Aloe Vera Juice + Medicated Skin Cream & Massage Lotion
15 years ago as my mom was picking me up from school, she fell on a jeepney and injured her foot. She thought her injuries were minor and just let it be. Years later, her ankle kept on scabbing, bleeding at times, and flaking. She’s used OTC treatments, had herself injected with steriods by her doctors, etc. But none worked. We really thought it was a lost cause and my mom was both frustrated and depressed. Until. Last year, Grace Cosmetics sent me a message on instagram asking me if I wanted to try their products. “What is it?” I asked. It was mostly aloe based and they told me it’s great for people…
