House of Beauty Secrets Snail Brightening Snail Scrub + gigawhite

Here's a review of another House of Beauty Secrets product. 

Snail brightening body scrub contains

Macadamia oil - 

Macadamia Nut Oil contains one of the highest sources of Palmitoleic Fatty Acids, between 16 to 23%. Palmitoleic is vital for delaying skin and cell aging.

Gigawhite- Is one of the latest innovation in skin whitening. The best alternative to the dangerous hydroquinone. 

Snail extracts- enhances skin elasticity; helps the skin becomes smooth and younger looking.

Goat's milk- of course Cleopatra's secret is no longer a secret, it is widely used in beauty products because of it's proven whitening, moisturizing and anti aging effects.

Imported sea beads- Exfoliates dead skin cells.

Skin moisturizers- moisturizes the skin to give you not only whiter, but silkier skin.

Sizes:

300 gms- 450.00

150 gms- 250.00

Here is 150 grams and it can last up to 2 months when used 2 to 3 times a week. 

As you can see, the product has lots of exfoliating beads (that's what I call them)  
and I think that's what makes it a good scrub. 

Every scoop of the product has just the right amount of beads and cream. 
It isn't like other scrubs out there. 

Some products have the beads only. They call it salt scrubs. 
And you cant avoid over scrubbing your skin when you use them. 
Here, you have moisturizing cream and the scrub. 

So while sloughing off dead skin cells, you were able to moisturize your skin too! 
And gosh! This smells amazing! This product made me believe in forever.
(sorry Marcelo Santos III totoo ang forever!) forever as in I wanna use this forever! Haha. 

This is a must for me because I shave my legs. I once read that exfoliating your skin can help prevent ingrown hair. So, to shaving women out there, consider this as a new best friend!

After bathing, I feel that my skin is smooth, and there's no doubt about it because even my husband noticed it. He can't keep his hand off of me because it's so smooth. And the scent, it lingers on my skin for an hour or so.

PROS:
Nice scent
Perfect ratio of scrub and cream
Makes skin softer
Scent lasts for an hour after bathing
Affordable because it lasts long

CONS:
Available only through online sellers
Addictive
Once you use it you can't stop hahaMay cause irritation if you overdo it 
(do not over-scrub your skin, just sniff the product if you can't get enough of it)

Artist Studio Make up Brushes

My bareface. Please excuse the dryness of my face :)

As you know, I am a frustrated make up artist. And a make up artist must have its tools. And so, I got some of them. For the longest time, I am dying to own a complete set of make up brushes. I keep browsing and browsing through the internet, and make up stalls in the mall (like suesh) but it's all expensive. But I don't wanna settle on cheap make up brushes like the ones in tiangge.

And so the search continues for the good quality but affordable brushes. And I found it in Landmark! I saw them last December and I told myself that the world won't be ending in 2012 without me having those brushes! I am on a very tight budget and I knew that I won't be able to buy a complete set but atleast, I have the basic brushes for less than 500 pesos.

Actually, there's variety of make up brushes in trinoma. They have the ones that's already in makeup brush bag, or the ones in brush holder. I know that it will be more practical to buy those brushes with container/ bag but I have to get a powder, blush, concealer and eyeshadow brush. These are the basic brushes for beginners like me. The packaging affects the brushes' shape. And so I have to go back and buy a brush holder. I'll see you again, Landmark!

So these are the brushes. Please do excuse if my brushes are dirty. I am too lazy to clean them today. >_<


I got powder brush Php 139.75

Blush brush Php 79.75

Foundation/ concealer brush Php 79.75

Eyeshadow brush Php 49.75

 I dont own this picture. I just stole it from http://www.codenameaya.com haha. I lent my eyeshadow brush to my sister whose in Calamba, Laguna.


Total Php 349.75 would you believe that?

I only got four brushes because I got the one with old rose colored ferules. I wanna collect the same colors. And I think I only be needing these four brushes (as I am not a professional and I only use them once in a while)
I love these brushes and I think they're doing their job very well, I cannot really compare them to other brushes because these are my only brushes. Though some people compare it to sigma brushes. Actually more and more make up artist in the country are trying this brushes. (I hope that's enough to convince you that these are really of good quality)

So, for the MUA wanna be out there with a very limited budget, you must visit Landmark today! And get your own Artist Studio Make up Brushes.
