I’m not a vain person. I could care less about make ups and beauty rituals. I just use Alyssa Ashley as body skin moisturizer and sometimes use St. Ives Apricot scrub or Celeteque water based moisturizer for my face. However, when I turned thirty last year, I realized how important a skin regimen is. Especially when I am seriously going to enroll in law school.
I used to tease my friend, Shayne (In My Own World, shanen10.blogspot.com), that she is a bad influence when she introduced THEFACESHOP products to me. I’m a sucker for good, quality products and I will not contest how good this shop’s wares are. The items are reasonably priced, way cheaper than Etude’s and it doesn’t hurt that the endorser was from my first fave Korean boyband, SS501.
It’s convenient as well since my old lotion, Alyssa Ashley is so hard to buy. I had to ask my Aunt who used to work in Dubai to send me a big bottle when my supply’s almost a third full. There are a lot of THEFACESHOP outlets in the metro so I can just go to one when I have the time.
I have three items that I tried and are loving at the moment. The first is Jeju Orange Pure Water Facial Mist. Priced at two hundred fifty pesos (P250.00) for a seventy milliliter (70 ml) bottle, this handy product does wonders to one’s face. It’s a moisturizer and provides an instant relief from the hot weather.
The second item is the EAU de L’AME Perfumed Body Milk. It costs seven hundred ninety five pesos (P795.00) per two hundred thirty milliliter (230 ml) bottle. It takes moisturizing seriously and smells really great. I think it has a cooling agent in the ingredients because no matter how hot my room was, whenever I apply the lotion to my skin it still feels cool. It also has a two counterparts, a body scrub and a body wash. I’d like to get my hands on these two items when I have extra money to spare.
The latest and newest item I bought was the Green Tea Body Perfume Mist. I was looking for the mist version of my lotion but unfortunately, it doesn’t have one so I just settled for a product whose scent closely resembles my lotion. This item costs four hundred twenty five pesos (P425.00) per one hundred five milliliter (105 ml) bottle. Not bad eh? And I’m telling you, it freaking works! We spent almost an hour inside Pepper Lunch and came out smelling like the menu. Sprayed some of the mist on my clothes and voila! My cousins all agreed it was a good purchase as they all used my perfume to mask the smell of sizzling steak that clung to their clothes.
Just in case you wanted to see how the products look like, here’s a picture.
And here’s how we looked like yesterday.
Ain’t it obvious from our smiles that we love to eat?
On that note, I wish everyone a great and stress free Sunday.
Talk to you later!
