NARS Funny Face: A Review

I love red lipsticks. Eversince I was a kid, when I used to participate in school programs or attend Santa Cruzan, it is almost mandatory for my mom to put some lipstick on my lips.

But now that I am working, I am quite adventurous when it comes to trying new things. I told myself, why not try a pink lippie for a change, it might look good on me. Hehehe

So, I searched for the perfect pink lippie for me and found NARS Funny Face. =)

Funny Face is a bold and gorgeous semi matte lippie by NARS Cosmetics. It is not as shocking as NARS Schiap but it gives your lips a vibrant aura. Aside from the lip color, what I like about this lippie is that it is not drying to the lips, unlike those of MAC Matte collection, wherein you may need to apply a lip balm first to prevent your lips from chapping after the application. 

It is also moisturizing and lasts longer because of its semi-matte finish. Whether you are fair skinned or a little darker, this lipstick will still look good on you. 

So far, this is the most expensive lipstick that I have. But at its price of $33, this product is worth every cent you won't even regret purchasing one.

NARS Cosmetics is available at all Rustan's branches in Metro Manila. 

Laneige: Water Sleeping Pack EX and Water Bank Gel Cream (A Review)

Summer is here and it is already very hot and humid here in the Philippines specially in the afternoon where the temperature can get as high as 35 degrees. I, for one had to hydrate myself by drinking as much fluids as possible to prevent dehydration! But as you know, it isn't only our body that needs to be hydrated. During this period, our skin tends to become dry and flaky because of the intense heat. 

So for today, let me share with you a product that I discovered that is very good in hydration and in keeping my skin healthy and vitalized. 

Let me present you the Water Sleeping Pack EX and Water Bank Gel Cream from the Laneige line.

1) Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX 

What I like about this product is that it is very light when applied to you face. It is so light it easily gets absorbed by your skin you wouldn't even notice that you applied it. It's light blue gel type texture is also non-sticky and it has an aromatic scent that is so calming. (Thanks to the Sleepscent incorporated in this product!)

I use the sleeping pack twice a week but you can use that as necessary. I use this at night before going to sleep. When I wake up in the morning the following day, I feel so fresh and my skin looks so healthy! :) 

Tip: When you're so stressed and had a very rough day, try to inhale the scent of this product for 5 seconds and pretty sure you will feel relaxed after! 


2) Water Bank Gel Cream 

This one is essentially thicker than the Sleeping Pack and I personally use this product in the morning rather than at night. I use this daily as it provides a 24-hour long-lasting moisture to keep me well-hydrated throughout the day. 

So what are you waiting for? Love your skin and start moisturizing! :) 


This product is available in all Laneige Branches here in the Philippines.

The Face Shop - Chia Seed Watery Lotion (A Review)

Want to keep a healthy and moisturized face anytime of the day? Try The Face Shop's Chia Seed Watery Lotion for a long lasting moisturized and healthy glowing skin!

Chia Seed Watery Lotion (a toner) comes from the Special Care category of The Face Shop's line of skin care products. 

It comes in 125ml bottle (a slightly heavy and bulky packaging) with a very hygienic plastic pump on it.

Product Info:
It contains chia seed extract. 72.7% is used instead of water.
Gives moisture to skin to get back its vitality.
Non-sticky and absorbs quickly.
Provides nutrients to give moisture.
Shields and moisturized the skin for long hours.

I have been using this product since last year and I must say the results are really very good. I used this also after I washed my face with Laneige Multi Cleanser. The product is not strong also since main ingredient is chia seed extract and not alcohol. Dirt still come off the cotton even after washing my face thoroughly which is a good indication that the product really does its job of cleansing. Leaves my skin so soft and clean when I wake up in the morning!

Verdict:

The Good
1) Keeps your face moisturized for long hours
2) Smells really nice, very calming
3) Absorbs and dries quickly
4) Does not have a sticky feeling after application
5) Leaves skin soft and clean when you wake up in the morning!


The Bad
1) Quite pricey at Php 995 per bottle (but it is really worth the price!)
2) Quite heavy and bulky


Would I recommend this product for everyday use?

Yes, I would definitely recommend this one!
