I told myself that I will try the bathbomb during the PUA annual convention, since I only get to experience bath tubs during this time of the year, might as well experience it while you can.

I've been down lately, well things happen which you can't control and you just can't do anything about it... 

Anyways let's start with the bathbomb experience...

Packaging	The box contains 5 eye mask sheets.  Each Eye mask sheet is inside an individually packed foil pouch.

This was a "pasalubong" / gift from my mom and sister when they toured Taiwan.  I had to finish my Biore Uru Uru before I use this to avoid wasting of products.

Packaging	Plain white opaque plastic pump bottle, very simple The back has everything written in Chinese and I don't have the patience to read them all.

Innisfree Apple Seed Lip and Eye Makeup Remover Tissue - First Impressions

This is one of the stuffs I bought in HK when I went to attend the convention.  Actually I was not really planning to buy this since I'm very much happy with my Biore Makeup Remover Wipe.  But I was asked to add a few more items in what I bought so I can have a box of free face sheet masks.  And wouldn't want that???

Packaging	The product weighs 27g with 30 sheets.  The sheet is round like a cotton pad.

Midyear 2017 empties

I can't remember if these are everything, sometimes I throw the empty containers away, sometimes I keep them.  Anyways, here are a few of those that I was able to keep.

1. Banila Co Clean it Zero Cleansing Balm - I love this so much that this is my holy grail cleansing balm.  It can blur your eyes for a while, but I just love it so much! Actually I'm on on my 3rd tub already.  I love the smell, I love that it melts away my makeup just like that.  It removes the step of scrubbing your face and or rubbing your face with cotton pad or tissue which sometimes can irritate your skin.   You can read my first impression here
2. Etude House  Lovely Cookie Blusher (Grapefruit Jelly) - This has been with me since 2015. Haha and I haven't finished it! But my skin is already itchy when I apply this so I have to buy a new one.  This just gives you that hint of blush.
3. Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream - I like that this is very lightweight to my eyes.  I can't say that this did anything remarkable to my eyes, well maybe also because I always forget to apply this in my eyes.   Read my 1st impressions of this here.  To think this lasted for 16 months, for a small tube although like I said before, I did not use this every day.
4. Heroinemake Long & Curl Mascara - This has become my holy grail mascara ever since I tried this this year!  It's just perfect for your eyelashes.  I know that mascaras are only supposed to be used for 3 months only, but I was able to stretch this to 5 months.  Well it's expensive, so why throw it away at 3 months? Anyways, at 5 months, there's still some left of the product but I started noticing that its performance is not as great as 1-2 months of initial usage.  I'm using the Volume & Curl Mascara now and I'll let you know what I think once I finished it. Check my first impressions of the Long & Curl Mascara here
5. Biore Uru-Uru 2-in-1 instant foaming wash - This has a delicious apple scent which I love, lasted pretty much for 4 months.  I use this once a day at night as part of my double cleansing routine.  This feels like putting marshmallow onto your face.  At first, this stings my skin, but after a while of continous usage, I don't feel the sting anymore.  If you want to read my first impressions, here
6. Biore UV Face Milk - I just love this, even if this is for oily skin, me, being a dry to combination skin type, this just works well.  I love Biore sunscreens! I'm just trying out the other lines, but I've been loyal to Biore ever since trying out my first Biore Sunscreen last year. Biore sunscreens are just my holy grail sunscreen, not even canmake mermaid gel, nor Innisfree sunscreen could replace this.  I used this all up in 5 months of everyday, once a day, one layer of application.

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel Sunscreen - Review

I just finished my Biore UV perfect Face Milk and I decided to try another line from Biore. One that is their number one sunscreen.  Don't get me wrong, I love the Perfect Face Milk line, I just thought I would try this out for a change.

Packaging	This is in a plastic, pastel blue container with white twistable plastic cap.  It has a silver engraved lettering.  This has more content of 90 mL.

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

One day I just woke up and decided I wanted to try any one of Lush product.  I shy away from Lush stores open here in the Philippines.  Mainly because I think the smell of the store although it smells really good but I find it overpowering.  But I guess something came to me that day and I just decided to try any Lush product.

I did not even look at the net for suggestions which product to buy.  It's just like a spontaneous thing 😆

Packaging

I kind of like the packaging, of this lip scrub.  It's in a glass jar with black plastic screw cover.  It's stated that this lip scrub is freshly handmade.  What I love about this the most is that at the bottom of the jar, there's a  cartoon picture stating the person/nickname of the person who made it, the manufacture date, and the expiry date as well.  I like the idea of having the name of the person at the package, since it gives you that 'special' feeling you always get when you receive something handmade.  It's also stated in the package that they fight animal testing.

Chulala Deep Cleansing Pack - First Impressions

This was sent to me by Amabie.com in exchange for honest review as being part of their Alist for the month.  This is the 3rd product in the package.

I was excited to use this since it's my first time to ever try a wash off mask.  I always thought I'm too lazy to go through the hassle of applying, waiting, then eventually washing, so I never experimented on a clay mask before.  I usually go with face mask sheet since it's more convenient for my busy lifestyle as a healthcare practitioner.

Packaging	The container is a plastic tube type with foil and printed label on the back and front.  I like that the plastic tube is easy to squeeze the product out.  There's a white mouth typically seen in these types of squeezy tubes.

Aeria Skin: Even-Tone Brightening Face Mask Sheet

I received this as one of the products sent by Amabie to me for free to give an honest review. I was lucky to be part of their Alist the past month.  Don't know how that happened since I am only a newbie in reviewing cosmetic products.  Anyways I feel honored to be part of their Alist.

Packaging	This has a peachy brown foil sachet packaging.  It's great that even if this was made in Taiwan, there's English written so I can understand it.

L'occitane Cherry Blossom Fresh Face Mist - Review

I got this L'occitane Cherry Blossom Fresh Face Mist as a patient care of one of our consultant's patient.  For non doctors, patient care is what we call the gift a patient gives his/her doctor out of appreciation for the doctor in saving his life or treating his disease, or even just making him comfortable during his illness.  When a doctor receives patient care, it really can make any doctor's day.  It's like a gold star you receive when you did well when you were in kindergarden.

This is a high end brand, so with my own money, I cannot afford from this brand, it's a great opportunity to receive this gift from a patient.

Packaging	It's in a clear spray bottle with pink sticker label.  The sticker label has cherry blossoms illustrations in it.  This comes in 50 mL.

Eres Tu My Daily Armor Brightening - Complex Sun Cream - First Impressions

I've got to lessen the length of my titles, why do some cosmetics have long names?? Enough ranting...

I bought this sunscreen in my trip to Cebu.  The main reason was, I did not notice that my Sulwhasoo sample got emptied while I was in Cebu.  Good thing SM Cebu is very near our hotel, so I was able to go to Watson's to and buy me some cosmetics.

Packaging	I did not find a full size of this product, so I guess they only have this in sachet form.  This has a very bright pink colored sachet.

Biore Uru Uru 2-in-1 Instant Foaming Wash - Review

There was a time last year that "foaming" wash became a trend in my instagram.  It's said to be really gentle and doesn't strip away moisture from your face and these are especially helpful for people with dry skin type.  During that time Shisheido Foaming Wash was the popular one.   But I thought it's too tedious to make a foam and it's time-consuming.  I'm just too lazy to make a foam before I wash my face.

So when I was walking around Watson's, I saw this foam wash from Biore and I was intrigued by it.  So I bought it.

Packaging	This comes in a very cute pink dispenser.  Everything in this packaging is just so cute!!!

The Beauty Bakery Milk and Vanilla Sea Salt Scrub - First Impressions

I have never tried a sea salt scrub before ever... haha... at least in the comfort of my home... I've tried some foot spa before, when we had our vacation in Baguio though.  My friend, Judy gave this to me, since she has an extra according to her... (Whew... good thing though, I'm running out of things to review hahahahaha... since all the products I've reviewed are NOT Sponsored in any way.)

So let's begin... this is a new experience for me too... 😊

Packaging	It comes in a very cute plastic bottle with a cork cap.  The plastic bottle is translucent with sticker label.  It also comes with a wooden spoon.  The jar contains 200g of the product

Cosrx Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream - First Impressions Review

I welcomed  Valentine's day with an emergency surgery.  Things only can happen to doctors 😆

I started reviewing samples already, since it takes a lot of money to review some products, and all the products that I review are bought by me, unless if a friend or relative gave them as a gift.

I saw many youtubers rave about the Cosrx line and I've heard great reviews from that line.  I checked it online and it's pricey for my budget.  So I first tried it out with samples first, that way it will be cheaper and I'll just buy it if I really liked it.

I got my Cosrx sample from Angellearkin.  They cost P20 each sample.

Packaging	No comment on the packaging since I bought the sachet.
Smell	None
Consistency	Slimy consistency
Application	I first applied it at night, at first it will feel sticky to slimy, but once it sets in you'll feel that your face is slowly absorbing it.  I was not able to feel how great it was until the next morning when I woke up.  My face felt soft, hydrated, plump.  The feeling is similar to the Laneige Sleeping Mask although a little more smoother than the Laneige one. Then I applied it as my moisturizer under my makeup.  My skin felt great even under the makeup.  It did not affect how my makeup sat on my face.
Duration of use	1 day
Pros	What I love about this is that it really makes your skin feel good.
Cons	Price standad size P850 - P900 in shopee Expensive for the full size product
Recommend?	Yes, if you won't look at the price
Rating	8/10
