Organic Virgin Coconut Oil by Adara

Here’s another one that made it into Style.com’s beauty guide Bon Visage list. It’s the Adara Organic Virgin Coconut Oil.
Personally, I haven’t really tried incorporating any sort of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) into my beauty regimen but I’ve heard quite a number of women who have and swear by its effectiveness. Some have suggested that […]

Eastern Experiments: Gel Liner Addiction

Earlier, Sophie and I were having a chat on makeup. She was advocating the importance of effective and efficient coverage, benefits of mineral makeup, tips on how to use minerals, picking the right sort of foundation when I blurted out that I’m addicted to gel liners, particularly my MAC Fluidline. She agrees that it’s one […]

Apollo Sebo De Macho, Scar Remover

Sebo De Macho
Apollo
This is one product that I’ve known and used since I was a kid and was conscious about scars. I can’t recall who recommended it (most likely my mum) and I used it religiously for sometime.
Here in the Philippines, Sebo De Macho became a household name when it comes to scar removals. […]

Rebonded Hair

Unplanned. But I welcome this change. I needed a bit of boost and cheering up. A trip to the salon does help when you’re in need of an upper. So, yea. I’m now sporting a rebonded hairstyle. Straightened an already straight hair. Heh.
My sister was scheduled to go back home to Oz yesterday afternoon. However, […]

Buff ‘Em Nails

Photo© 2008 Sasha Manuel
With my recent nail nightmare, I’ve grown to appreciate nail buffers more. I’m not simply referring to filing and shaping nails, mind you. I’m talking about polishing them. That’s what buffing anything will naturally accomplish anyway. My nails have never looked so shiny, smooth and healthy!
I hardly take care of my nails, […]

Total Lip Treatment, Kanebo SENSAI Cellular Performance

Kanebo
SENSAI Cellular Performance
Total Lip Treatment
Promotes collagen synthesis and quality in the “O-Zone” area on and around the lips. Minimises dullness, repairs roughness, and leaves lips plumped up and smooth.
Earlier, I was curiously checking out my lips. I reckon it’s one of those wear-no-makeup days that you find yourself feeling utterly lousy and growing a need […]

The MAC fafi Makeover

A pretty bold move for a MAC n00b like myself to be sporting such lovely, lovely eye makeup. But I had to find out how MAC fafi eyes would look on me. My face lit up like a light bulb when the idea came to me. I ought to let a MAC makeup artist do […]

I ♥ Beauty Secrets

My friends know that I really don’t like doing memes but I got tagged by the Channel newbie, Tris Hussey of MANSCAPING 101, so I thought I’d be all warm and accommodating and indulge him this time. Ha. I kid. I kid.
Anyway, I was asked to spill my Beauty Secrets and like stepping on […]

Which brand of Mosquito Repellent do you use?

Teh boyfriend and I got to talking about our upcoming beach trip this weekend. We’re going to Subic (Philippines)! Yay, beach! It’ll just be an overnighter and it’ll be extra ‘adventurous’ since there’s a possibility of just sleeping on the beach. Psych. This girl will be roughing it! Ha.
Since it’ll be outdoors and stuff, I […]
