Luke Skin Ph Launch! Luke Skin Solutions is now in the Philippines!

So Kbeauty brand Luke Skin Launch is officially now in the Philippines and I was one of the Philippine beauty bloggers that they invited for their October 11, 2017 launch in Ortigas and of course I went because I'm a total skincare junkie and a Kbeauty fanatic!

Luke Total Skin Solutions Launch in the Philippines

They brought in 3 products. Their hydrogel eye patch, their sheet masks, and their nose cleansing strips. I love the packaging for the products and how the event went. It was super chill, organized and fun! Thanks to the careful planning of brand consultant and blogger Nikkie of AskMeWhats.com

Himalaya Herbals Toothpaste Review | Switching to Natural Toothpaste!

I first heard about Himalaya Herbals toothpaste from a colleague but I didn't think much of the raves she shared because she's been trying to get everyone to convert to using natural vegan products, haha! I thought  she simply wanted everyone to switch to a natural toothpaste. Truth be told, although I've already tried some products from the brand, I wasn't very keen on looking for the toothpaste just to test it out because I was pretty happy with what I was using...or so I thought.

Switching to a natural toothpaste or at least testing some out has long been at the back of my mind. My brother has been using the Himalaya Herbals Sensitive toothpaste and liked it but since I am a coffee drinker, what I was looking for was a teeth whitening toothpaste. As mentioned earlier, I liked what I was using and wasn't really looking to switch to a natural toothpaste or anything like it...then one day I opened up my blogger mail stash and saw that Himalaya Herbals has a whitening toothpaste! 

Not only that, but they sent in 3 other varieties too via Sampleroom (I receive products from the website because I'm one of their trusted bloggers). I got the idea to test all varieties with the fambam because I was planning a body and skin detox at the time. No harm in going all natural, right?

Himalaya Herbals Toothpaste Review

I'm a bit if a nerd, so I went online sleuthing to see whether what I was planning will be worth it. The other reviews I've read are overwhelmingly positive, so I went ahead proposed to the fam that we will all use the different variants. I grabbed the Himalaya Herbals Whitening toothpaste for myself!

I also found out that Himalaya Herbals is a well-established brand that is available in 92 countries. And that even doctors endorse it! I can understand why because I tested their skincare for a week when I went soap free and got positive results!

Anyway, on to the Himalaya Herbals toothpaste review!

You have no idea how much I've been lusting after the BYS Peach Eyeshadow Palette! I've waited for about a month before I saw this at a Watsons near me and I immediately bought one. I was so happy coming home when I discovered that BYS Philippines will be having a makeup sale!

The BYS Philippines makeup sale offers 3 palettes for P1499! I was like, NOOOOOOO! Coz I've just bought 2 palettes when I discovered that haha! Lugi ako besh! Anyway, I decided to review the BYS Peach Palette because the sale is ongoing til the end of October 2017. By the time I publish this blog, you will still have 3 weeks left to shop if you're from the Philippines!

Benefits of Going Soap Free by Using Himalaya Herbals Skincare for a Week

So I decided to go soap free for a week and chose to experiment with Himalaya Herbals because it is one of my go-to skincare brands when I am having a skincare detox. In fact, I still have 2 tubes of the Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Wash that I use whenever my skin needs to take a rest from testing out and reviewing tons of products that I usually share on my blogs and vlogs. But why did I do that? Are there really benefits to going soap free?

Yes there are!

Voila!!!

Wowed by what you see above? I am too! There are really benefits to going soap free more so when you have inflammed skin like I do. Let's talk about those below!

EB Liquid Lipstick (Limited Edition) Review and Swatches #EBLiquidLipstick

I was on the fence about writing a full review of these Ever Bilena Liquid Lipsticks because I know that they are limited edition...but its been months and I still see them in my local Watsons and almost no one else have mentioned they exist (they were outshined by the slimmer EB Matte Liquid Lipstick that I wrote about and did a video on earlier). This version has a thicker almost mousse-like consistency.

Biore Micellar Water Review (Moist Up) with DEMO

Micellar water review posts are one of my favorite ones to write and film because I really believe in the skincare benefits of cleansing the skin properly. I'm also not into harsh cleansers more so now that my skin is extra sensitive because of my PCOS and being in my 30s. 

I reviewed the Maybelline Micellar Water in the past and also compared it with the Loreal Micellar Water. I've also written about the Biore Micellar Cleansing Water variants when I first got them months ago.

So for the unfamiliar, below is a short write up on what is micellar water and why its worth a try before we move on to the review.

Abbys House of Glycerin Shop Product Review Part 1! Organic Skincare in the Philippines!

This might be one of the longest-running and longest 'in-the-making' blog post I will ever post. I've been testing out these amazing products from Abby's House of Glycerin Shop since May of this year and finally posting a review!

It took me so long because every time I am almost ready to post something, the brand owner would come up with new products and I would be thinking, "might as well wait til I get a hold of the new ones for a full review"

Well, guess what, I don't think the owner will ever stop creating new skincare products so I might as well post this 'partial long review' and then post separate ones of my favorites later, right? The reason why I finally said now is the time is because October is my birthday month and I wanted to share blogs and reviews of all my favorites for this month!

Abby's House of Glycerin Shop Brand Review

I think that it is obvious by now that this would be a rave post. I usually refrain from posting about Instagram shops because a lot of them just sell repackaged or relabeled goods. Though I understand that business is just business, I am very 'maarte' when it comes to skincare and what I recommend to people. Why? Because trying to fix mishaps caused by wrong skincare and/or questionable products is expensive!
