JAPANESE HOME Facial Scrub


JAPANESE HOME FACIAL SCRUB


I am so fascinated with the Japanese stores here. You can find almost everything there, even the things you don't need! 

One good buy I found is this rubber facial scrub. Like everything in the store, it's priced at either Php 66.00 or Php 88.00.


First off, isn't the color adorbs??! It's also shaped like a heart!


This is best used with a foaming facial wash. It really lathers the product on the skin. You can feel the tiny bristles massage through the foam and onto the skin.


The bristles are extremely fine and soft. It's in no way harsh on the skin.



Do you guys see the bottom part? I wasn't able to take a picture of it but it sort of has a handle that you can grip so it's easier to use. The handle also functions as a suction so you can easily stick it on the mirror.

GETTING IT AGAIN? Not for a while as I can see it'll last me a long time!

NYX LIPSTICKS


NYX LIPSTICKS


Aaaaannnnd I'm back!!!!

Sorry it took a while for me to come back and blog about my make up and skin care hauls (like somebody actually cares, ha!) Been really swamped with school stuff. But now that school's OVA, I can resume my blogging and hopefully help YOU in deciding wether to get a product or not. So let's get scooting!

I'm reviewing 3 NYX ROUND lipsticks plus a MATTE one. I forgot to include this one shade from the other mattes that I've reviewed before (heres the link if you want to read it CLICK THIS) Also, the thing in the weird container is a round lipstick. It kind of broke so I just transferred it into a new container so I don't waste anything.




Packaging: FLIMSY i tell ya! I hate it to the maximum level. Both the round and the matte lipsticks aren't really of good quality when it comes to the packaging. As you can see, I had to transfer one round lipstick into a different container as the lipstick just slid off the tube like soft butter.




However, for the price, I think these are pretty ok, although I don't think I'll be repurchasing these EVER again. I'd rather invest in something more pricey than to be wasting money on something that wont hold up (literally and figuratively!)

Here in the Philippines they sell at about Php 150.00 for round lipsticks and Php 270.00 for the matte ones

The shades in order are: DOLL, HEREDES, STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI, MILAN.

DOLL
Berry Pink shade that is very opaque and kind of bright. 

I actually like the color pay-off of these lipsticks. It's just that THEY DON'T LAST AT ALL! 2 hours max, without eating or drinking. They don't stain as well so it's like you haven't put any at all.



HEREDES
This one's a more peachy brown shade. This would be great for the office or school.


STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI
This is almost the same shade as HEREDES only, this has a matte finish and would seem to look more nude.

MILAN
This is more of a brownish pink shade. All the shades here are oh so beautiful! I just can't stand the quality of the packaging and the lack of staying power. Not to mention the smell! It doesn't bother me, but it does have a strong plastic smell which other people might find offensive.

DOLL, STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI, HEREDES, MILAN
