L'OREAL Elseve Leave In

L'OREAL Elseve Leave In

My hair strands are very fine in strand and thin in volume. However, due to the frequent times I color my hair, it does tend to get a bit frizzy and dry on some days.

I call this hair medicine. 

I love the scent. It's so refreshing. Admittedly, it's a bit pricey (nearly Php 400.00).

I use it after I shower and before I brush my hair. It's not oily or serum like. It's rather liquidy and blends very fast on each hair strand without the feel of grease.

As you can see, it comes in a nozzle top dispenser. I like how I am able to control the amount of product I use. 

I feel that to be able to see optimum results, this must be used on a daily basis. When used regularly, it can give the hair a healthy shine and help lessen the frizz.

OLAY Moisturising Cream

OLAY Moisturising Cream

I'm blogging like it's 12-12-12!!! Tonight I just decided to drop everything and blog. Feeling a little sad and pissed. Oh well, enough about me, let's go reviewinnnn!

Ok, I have no idea how much this is because I just had my mom buy this for me when I was about to run out of moisturizer. I like the packaging because it's made out of sturdy, frosted hard plastic. I feel that I could recycle it after and that it could handle a lot of throwing etc.

The smell is very powdery (if that makes sense!). I know some people who get bothered by scented products, but I personally don't mind (unless it's like those TBS Tea Tree products dang those were pungent!).

As you can see from above, the product is a heavy pink cream. However, I find that it's still easy to apply and spread on the face. I love how it's not greasy and dries to a soft? finish. It's hard to explain. It's not greasy but it does make the skin hydrated. 

Performance wise, hands down, it is the best moisturizer I've tried so far! I don't normally believe in products showing great results in only a span of one week but this one's an exception. I could really feel the difference after just a week of consistently using it. My skin's super soft, I can't help but ask people to touch it!

High praises, high recommendations!

NYX Rouge Cream Blushes

NYX Rouge Cream Blushes

I own six of these obviously. :p

Some of these were bought from the US by my mom during her business trip, while some were bought from online sellers here in the Philippines.

in shade NATURAL

The name says it all. No shimmer, just gives off that natural glow.

The thing with these are that they aren't great on their own.  I find that you need to set it with powder blush so it doesn't fade right away. It'll also serve as a good base for blush.

in shade TICKLED

This is a sort of salmon shade with golden shimmers. This probably won't work for you if you're working with fine lines, freckles or any imperfections as this could easily highlight those. YOU DON'T WANT THAT.

Another thing with these blushes is that they are hits-and-misses. Some shades are great, some don't show up at all and fade after an hour. The average wear of this alone would be 2-3 hours. When set with powder, it could last for 6 hours, depending on the staying power of the powder that you set it with.

                              

in shade ROSE PETAL

This is a somewhat nude-ish shade. Almost skin-color. Definitely needs to be topped of with something else.

Each sells for about 250 pesos or so. It's cheaper in the US, of course.

in shade GLOW

This ones a bit neon-pink. This is pigmented and can be worn on its own. However, if you are oily, I suggest still setting it with powder.

After trying on these blushes, I'd have to conclude that cream blushes are not for me! It's just not apt for the hot and humid weather here in the Philippines. It feels really sticky.

in shade BOHO CHIC

This has got a bluish undertone to it. It's sort of nude pink. It also has glitters which I personally find unappealing. The glitters are in no way fine or appropriate.

The packaging is ok, nothing novel. I think they were going after the mac cream blushes look. It doesn't seem like it's a very sturdy container, but so far it's held up pretty well. I guess it can be attributed to the fact that I am extra careful with my things.

in shade RED CHEEKS

This is CRAZY pigmented! When I say that you only need a VERY LIGHT dab on ONE FINGER, I mean it! It's a fire-engine shade of red. Very intimidating on the pan, but it can go perfect on the cheeks for any complexion. I like wearing this on my bare face with no foundation. It's just natural yet striking.

Here are the swatches, in order.  

Natural, Tickled, Rose Petal, Glow, Boho Chic, Red Cheeks
