Spend vs Save | ESTEE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR VS MAYBELLINE SUPERSTAY FOUNDATION
I’ve been using Estee Lauder Doublewear Stay in Place Makeup in Rattan for over 2 years now as my HG (holy grail) foundation. I seldom use it everyday because it’s too expensive for my measly budget. But it’s sooooo darn good it’s worth every penny! Now I heard from a few people that Maybelline Superstay 24 Hr Foundation is a possible dupe. So I just had to see it for myself! Estee Lauder Doublewear Price: 2,400php (Around 40USD) Expensive Satin finish Long wearing (24 hours) Doesn’t Oxidize No Pump Perfect shade match Challenging to blend Maybelline Superstay Price: 499php (Around 10usd) Cheap! Has a pinker undertone Long-wearing (but not as long as Estee it…
Korean Italy Towel Review – Why is exfoliation important
Last month, there was a short debate going around social media regarding exfoliation and the use of moisturizers. Popular skincare business woman who we will call VB published an article that as people in the tropical country, we should only exfoliate and not moisturize. I highly disagree because I think keeping our skin moisturized creates a protective barrier and makes our skin easier to exfoliate. Kikaysikat Says: Both are important. Exfoliation and Moisturization. But today we’ll discuss the former. Why is Exfoliation Important? As we grow older, our cells regenerate slower. Meaning the body takes more time to shed dead skin cells and generate new ones. When the older cells accumulate on the skin’s surface, it…
Importance of Using Sunscreen + Biore UV Kids Sunscreen Review
Sunscreen is an effective protective agent against damage from the sun’s powerful rays for all ages, genders, and skin types. Regular application effectively blocks harmful UV rays that cause formation of dark spots, freckles, and prevents sunburns, premature skin aging and skin pigmentation Sunscreen acts as a shield against harmful UV rays that can penetrate your skin every time your skin is exposed to the sun. Therefore, it is advisable that you wear sunscreen every day. Biore UV Kids Sunscreen Jop has been using sun protection from my stash, until Biore finally launched their Biore UV Kids Sunscreen.

On Using Your Influence for the Greater Good
Time check, 4:18am February 8 2019. I’ve been busy the past few days that I’ve resorted to pre-scheduling my personal musings in advance and prioritizing sponsored posts to be published depending on client’s target date. I started out writing in this blog in goals of earning “semi-passive” income in peace. But without intentionally doing so, I’ve become what folks like me may find off(ensive). Influencer. What is an influencer? I discussed that in my earlier comprehensive comparison article on: Difference Between Bloggers, Influencers, and Vloggers. But in a nutshell an influencer is literally someone who motivates you to do the same thing he/she does. Whether working out, eating right, or purchasing that brand…
REVIEW: Benibana Beauty Hub| My Ombre Bayalage Hair Makeover
Well what do you know. After over a year, I finally got tired of my bland, black hair. I even have new hair goals already. To get a Shadow root, Ombre Bayalage. The reason? It can grow out seamlessly with my natural hair color, yet blonde enough at the ends that I can play around with wild colors like blue, pink, or even purple hair! But there’s just one problem. I really haven’t found THE SALON yet to achieve this. Most can promise this or that but they don’t really have the skills to do what’s required. Waste of money + Hair Trauma. Never again. Thankfully……there’s Benibana Beauty Hub! So I’ve been stalking Benibana Beauty Hub on instagram…
HAPPY DISCOVERY! Lanocreme Placenta Face Cream with Lanolin Review
Sometimes there are things I don’t plan on writing about but I do. One good example is today’s product review on Lanocreme Placenta Face Cream with Lanolin (15USD or 450php). This was given to me as a gift from my good friend Noelle, together with Manuka Honey and Lucas Pawpaw. Both latter products are more popular than Lanocreme. What? How much? Where to buy? All Things New Zealand (@Newzealandgoods_ph on Instagram) One fine day when my The Ordinary Retinol smelled foul (I forgot it’s beyond 6 months already) and I was desperate to slather something on my face. I decided to grab the tub of Lanocreme Placenta Face Cream and the rest is history. Let’s begin with…

What’s New? Erceflora Probibears 2-in-1 Probiotic Supplement for Kids!
Great news everyone! A delicious probiotic supplement for a healthier tummy is now available in “candy” form! Introducing, Erceflora Probibears! When Geof was around 2-3 years old. He loves to put his hands in his mouth. And as a mom, we can’t have our eyes on them 24/7 and sometimes we don’t know what or where they put their hands on! He was prone to indigestion and tummy problems (huhu I feel guilty). Kaya his pedia recommended us to have Erceflora in our refs in stock. But this was in a tube we have to cut and Geof has to chug like water. Dios mio! It was torture for both of us. Imagine the effort it…
