GIRLY STUFFS: October Favorites

 Hey guys~ 

So after posting about movie recommendations, reviews and a bunch of random Japanese-related stuffs, I decided to write about my favorites and not-so-favorite makeup/skincare products online. Aside from being a Japanese culture enthusiast, I'm also a skincare product (rarely makeup) enthusiast. Months ago, I blew off my savings because of them. Haha! And among the hoard of products that I bought, here are my favorites.

Dear Darling Water Tint

Brand: Etude House

This was a spur-of-the-moment kinda buy. I was hovering around Mall of Asia last September and saw Etude House. I've been wanting to buy a Korean roadshop lip tint for a long time and I finally bought one. The pigmentation is fine, lasting power is so-so but I still love it nevertheless. 

Price?

Around Php 200. Not that bad.

Will repurchase?

Probably not. I want to try other brands and other types, too!

It's My Sun Cream

Brand: It's My

I'm almost done with this. I bought this last June, I think, from Althea Korea. I was just testing their services and I'm quite satisfied. What I liked about this product was it's not too sticky on my face. I have a really, really, really oily face that was why I abhor (wow, strong word. Haha!) anything that makes my face more stickier than how it should be. But this product is so lightweight so I really loved it. 

Price?

Php 240

Prices in Althea Korea are really cheap so you should definitely check them out!

Will repurchase? 

Probably not. I want to try more Korean sun creams so if you have any recommendations, tell me.

Broccoli Clearing Toner

Brand: Innisfree

Oh! I so love this toner. I also bought this from Althea Korea. I'm using it as a face mask. Lol. I take a few cotton pads, put this on and leave it on my face for like 10-20 minutes. It helps calm down my acne. And I really love the smell. It smells so nature-y but I'm addicted to it. I kept on smelling it over and over.

Price?

Php 370

Will repurchase?

Yes, why not?

Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask

Brand: Innisfree

I really like this clay mask. It makes my skin feel so clean after leaving this on for about 20-30 minutes. Got nothing much to say about this but I'm using this and Broccoli Toner alternately once or twice a week. It doesn't smell that nice but you can totally live with it. Haha!

Price?

Php 520

Will repurchase?

Not for now. I want to try other brands first.

Aqua Moisturizer Whitening Vita

Brand: iWhite Korea

This is like my holy-grail since last year. I've been loving this and this has been my all time favorite moisturizer! Need I say more?

Price?

Depends on where you'll purchase it:

Watsons is around Php 20

Provincial drugstore is around Php 27

Will repurchase?

I buy this weekly.

Pimple Concealer with Tea Tree Oil

Brand: Careline

This was supposed to be a concealer but I use it as BB Cream. Haha! I've been suffering from acne breakouts since last year because of some medications that I needed to take and it's horrible. I've tried using BB creams but it makes my face really sticky and oily. So this is what I use as an alternative. It is super lightweight. The coverage is light to medium but I still keep on using it. What I also like about this is that it has an applicator so I don't contaminate the whole stuff. 

Price?

Php 90 in provincial Gaisano Mall. If I remember correctly, this only costs like Php 80 in Watsons. 

Will repurchase?

I'm on my 3rd tube. :D

4.5/5 (I would've given a 5/5 if it has full coverage)

100% Natural Sunflower Beauty Oil

Brand: Human Nature 

This is my ultimate holy grail. I seriously thought that my pimple scars are hopeless but this lovely being gave me hope. It minimized the appearance of my scars. It takes a bit of time before it effects but I don't mind waiting. 

Price?

Around Php 145 on Robinson's Department Store

Will repurchase?

YES!!!
