Photoescape Reviews: Avon Clearskin Pore Penetrating Invigorating Scrub For Men (AND YES I TRIED THIS)

Last Christmas my mom's friend gave this to me. I don't know if I should be insulted or annoyed. (NOTE: THERE ARE NOT PICTURES IN THIS POST BECAUSE MY LAPTOP GOT REFORMATTED BY ACCIDENT. BUT WILL TRY TO FIND A WAY TO GET THE PICTURES UP AS SOON AS I CAN.) Clearly you guys know that I am of the female species. So when she gave this to me I was like...yeah...thank you tita! But inside I was fuming that hell had no chance in being hotter than my head. Because it clearly says this is for men - am I a man?? But since she gave this to me I might as well try it right? Girl why?! This is not available in Avon Philippines which to be honest THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS MEN! I will start this review by saying this is purely from my experience in using this product and I still think Avon is a great company the produces amazing products so here goes. So according to the website, this is an effective creamy scrub with Pore Firming Technology, lifts away pore-clogging dirt and exce...

WHY PATCH TESTING IS IMPORTANT ( and you should do it too!)

Image
Ola!  As a beauty blogger, I get tons of products to review on a daily basis and usually I do a patch test before actually using a product. What is a patch test?  It's basically a simple procedure where you test it first on a small amount to see if you develop an allergic reation towards it.  Here is a short story before I tell you why this is important. A couple of years ago, a company sent me a product to review with a full disclosure that if this gave an allergic reaction to me I won't post the review which they actually agreed on because I am willing to pay for the next batch of products I will order from their store if this product works out.  For the first couple of days I noticed red bumps on my skin which bothered me. I didn't actually analyzed it further until the third day of using the product - It made my skin itchy and red that I had to go to the doctor!  I don't have the pictures anymore because it was super bad which I also reported to the company ...

Beauty Finds at a click of a button with Sephora PH!

Image
Since I am back in Manila, I want to share to you girl a quick haul I had with Sephora Philippines! Take note that I ordered these when I was still in Mindanao to check if they have really good service and I would say its far from what I expected. I purchased some Burt's Bees products since I have been curious to try out a lot of their items. I ordered these about 2 weeks ago, and the package arrived a week later - It was that fast! With my previous online purchases, they usually take about a week and a half, but with Sephora they would send the products you ordered the soonest they can! And I am very impressed with this. Okay now let's go to the products that I've purchased. I purchased a total of 6 items: 2 skincare products and 4 lip products. Burt's Bees is a brand that cares for their customers as they would like to use natural ingredients to be used to the skin. I actually have tried their lip balms before but I was surpr...

Photoescape Reviews: iWhite Korea 2 minute miracle whitening mask

Image
Hey lovelies! I am back with a new review! And again this is A continuation of my review from my YouTube channel.  There are days that my skin looks dull and it is not a good look and usually at would mean I need some exfoliating or a mask done and I found something really  interesting which is iWhite Korea's 2 minute miracle whitening mask.     This is 24.50pesos at Watsons and its main claim is the mask can give the skin lighter and brighter skin in 2 minutes. It can also diminish blemish marks such as acne marks with its ingredients and control excessive oiliness while still keeping the skin moisturized.  Some of its active ingredients are  - Limonia Acidissima -Lonicera Caprifolium extract  - Bambusa vulgaris leaf extract  - aloe vera leaf extract These are the ingredients that will help the skin achieve that lighter and brighter skin within 2 minutes. I actually find pronouncing the first three ingredient...

Photoescape Review: Jordan's Beauty Secrets From the Dead Sea Tea Tree Oil Face Mask

Image
During the weeks that I was suffering from the Flu, I have let go of my skin care routine. It was like F*ck it world I am sick and I do not care what happens to my skin, All I want is my blanket and warm tea so let me be! I know it sounds really bad but come on, Sometimes we forget to take care of our skin. And currently I am feeling much better that the first thing I did was give myself a facial in the comfort of my home because I will be binge watching some Korean Drama, so a good facial mask is probably the way to go.  And the one I used first is from Beauty Secrets from the Dead Sea.

Hey lovely ladies!  I haven't done a product review in a long time and I am so stoked to write a new one! There will be lots more to be posted so don't forget to check back regularly ok?  Okay so for today's review will be all about Kojie San's Cleanser+Toner  This actually was given to me during an event months ago and I stumbled upon it while going through my pile of beauty products. Sometimes I am really thankful I have a closet full of them because I don't need to buy one teehee!  So I finally decided to try it out since what's there to lose right?  I got the 60mL one but I believe there is a bigger version as well.  According to the bottle Kojie San Cleanser + Toner is a light solution derived from blend of natural ingredients that cleanses and moisturizes skin. This 2-in-1 formula contains Ginseng Extract and Rose Hip Oil known for its skin firming ability that helps smoothen fine lines and wrinkles. it also helps revi...

Photoescape Reviews: Limitless Possibilities Beauty Cream

Image
Hey guys! This is the last part of the review of Limitless Possibilities skin care line review. I will have more products from them to review so just give me some time to review them thoroughly so you will know if they are really worth it. But now we will just focus on Limitless Possibilities' Beauty Cream. From the packaging you would think its a BB cream because of the pump but actually it has a white cream which if you ask me can be similar to a CC Cream, but the only difference is Limitless Possibilities has a thicker consistency while with other CC creams they have more of a liquid like consistency.  Its retailed price is 600php for the 35ml pump bottle - which is expensive for some I know, but in my opinion its much better to invest on good skin care products because they will give out better results than just slapping on a bulk of make up.  Unlike other beauty creams Limitless Possibilities has an SPF of 35 which is great because y...

Photoescape Reviews: Limitless Possibilities Facial Wash

Image
Hey guys! I am back with a new review!  I haven't done a review post in a while because...well.. I've been terriby busy but I promise I will do more of these!  Meet my no make face! and my new friend Chris :)) Nowadays the weather has been colder and to be honest I hate the cold wind. Usually when the weather is cold my oil slick of a skin tends to dry up fast and the worst thing is if I use my facial wash with it my face would just dry up faster. It is really recommended that we change our facial wash if the weather changes because there is a very scientific explanation to that and  Thankfully I have one facial wash that I can swear by made my skin so much better! It is the Limitless Possibilities Facial Wash!  I love that this facial wash is made with natural ingredients such as Bilberry extract, Sugar cane extract, Sugar Maple extract, Orange and Lemon extact. And if you are wandering what these ingredients are and what they do...
