My first post for 2011! Haha, sorry it took so long. I was waiting for some of my purchases to arrive so I can actually post something with content here. And here is my first purchase to arrive for this year from Bare Naturals, which is my favorite natural mineral make-up and skincare store. BN is actually my first ever make-up ever, and after 3 years I'm still loyal to them <3 Since I'm still well stocked in the mmu department, my purchase this time is mostly on their skincare.
My order :) *so sorry for grainy pics, it's from my camera phone m(-.-)m
~ Emu Oil with Tea Tree & Witch Hazel
~ 30mL PhP428
~ My second bottle of emu oil! The first one is pure 100% emu oil while this one has a mix of essential oils of tea tree and witch hazel specially designed for pimple-prone skin (AKA me haha) Will update if it works for me in about a month or so of using :)
~ No Break-out to Makeup Emu Soap
~ 135g PhP159
~ New packaging I believe, and the attached string is a nice touch too! I assume it would be for a good hold when using it as a bath soap for the body and easy storage too as you can hang it once you're done with bath. But I'll only use this for the face and I chop it to little pieces so the string is kinda pointless for me -.- But it might be convenient for others. Haven't tried this out since I still have 1/3 of my Emu White soap from my previous order (that was last September...yes their soap lasts that long if stored in a good soap dish)
~ Emu White Soap
~ 135g PhP159
~ My second bar of Emu White soap ever since I received a sample from one of my orders. I still haven't finished my first bar! As you can see the soap pictured is already chopped in half. I gave the other half to my mom for her to try out :D I'm spreading the love for this soap. Ever since I used it for the first time, it made my skin that smooth baby skin texture. Since then this has always been my HG soap.
~ Natural Pink Lip & Nipple Gel SPF15
~ 4g PhP158
~ Love this! Upon application it has a minty feeling but disappears after a few minutes to those who are sensitive to those sensation. When smelled from the tube it has a sweet smell but when applied there's no smell at all. What I liked about it is the effect. It really works!!!!!!!!! I have darker upper lips so I apply it there more, and in less than 24hours I can actually see results. Nothing too dramatic since it's just a short span of time but there is seriously some improvement. How much more if I continue to use this product. :) The added SPF is a plus too. The label also said it can be used as a lipstick base and I tried too. The first lipstick I used is Revlon Colorburst in Soft Nude and the results were...not good. I think I applied too much of the lip gel that the lipstick looked blotchy and just not good. I tried it again with MAC Hug ME and it produced better results. I recommend to use it sparingly when used as lipstick base and liberally when used alone or at night before going to sleep. I don't think I'll use this for my nipples though XD or when I do I'll use another tube haha!
aaaaand, I'm sure it's noticeable from my pics and..tadaaaa
~ Cupcake Nails! Aren't they the cutest! And fyi, this are not stickers...they're done by freehand. Yep, each cupcake was painted by hand. Painstakingly, yes, cute yes! Worth it yes! They're done by Ms. Jas of Salon de Manila Tomas Morato branch. Nail art is PhP850, quite expensive but you'll see the quality down to the tiniest details. I'm not sure if it can be seen in the pic clearly but each cupcake has a cherry on top and each cherry has a thin black stalk! So detailed! You can call them at 3739510 for an appointment as she can be quite busy if they have more customers. And her designs are not limited to cute cupcakes. She does ice creams, floral designs, and even cartoon characters. They have albums of previous nail art she has done including Sesame Street and Spongebob characters, leopard print french tips and even more weird requests such as Halloween ghosts and even the multicolor Louis Vuitton print.
