2019 FAVOURITES

Hi guys!! I would like to share with you a few items that i have been loving this year, just a really few items because I'm not really the type to have a lot of things, so i just usually have the ones that i really need and use. These are also just some of my recommendations incase you are struggling with looking for skincare products and makeup that are suitable for your skin. I hope this will help you figure out what you need.

So lets start with SKINCARE. So I've been investing a lot on skincare actually and also because my mom stocks up a lot of skincare products. Although i am VERY particular with my products due to my sensitive skin, so yes I'm picky haha! living in a polluted country i must say you're gonna need these, not unless you are used to your own products but these are just my recommendations.

1. BIORE (Baking Soda) - CLEANSING FOAM

So this is an anti-blemish facial wash and also helps in closing up your pores, or just basically cleans out your face. So it does contain baking soda, and we have heard about how baking soda helps in making our skin beautiful and clean.

It does state in the bottle that we use it daily but i don't really recommend for people with sensitive skin to use this everyday. Preferably, two- three times a week, not unless you came from a very polluted area.

oh and guys, this product is also perfect for people with acne scars or when your pimples are piling up.

I know its really hard to take care of our skin and we always have to find the perfect product that suits us and lasts us a lifetime, but this product may help you with that since it contains baking soda and it does no harm to your skin. Just don't use it everyday guys because sometimes our skin needs to take a break too.

2. NATURE REPUBLIC ALOE VERA w/ FOREO

OKAY! this is by far my fav night time routine. Usually people use this overnight, just applying it normally on the face but for me i made use of my foreo with it. Im sure you all know what foreo brand is, so basically it is this silicone face brush that vibrates and helps cleanse the skin. This unclogs your pores, remove dead skin cells, reduces signs of aging (probably tightens the face), it also improves the absorption of your skincare products and basically it brightens and cleanses your skin.

Let me run through this step by step, very simple really.

STEP 1: Wash face and PAT dry - yes, pat dry. DO NOT RUB IT with your towel

STEP 2: apply the aloe vera

STEP 3: Use FOREO on the skin and do a circular motion

STEP 4: Now, this is totally optional, you can either leave it on overnight, wash it off or you can pat dry it with face towel.

and VOILA! it will leave a very very soft baby skin finish! ;)

3. BIORE - SUNSCREEN

THIS IS A MUST! I REPEAT THIS IS A MUST!

I can't even leave the house without putting on sunscreen! Guys i really have to say that this is the most IMPORTANT thing that you must apply on your face before going out. About 2 years ago, i never use sunscreen on my face because i never really thought it was useful, until i started noticing the discoloration on my face, so i started googling, and this one blogger said that Sunscreens are very helpful and the most important thing to apply before going out EVEN AT NIGHT. So then i gave a try, the first sunscreen i ever bought was the face republic which is also good by the way, then my mum gave me this BIORE brand, and its this watery like sunscreen which also gave me a glow throughout the day. Ever since I've been applying sunscreen, my face has been brighter and bye-bye discoloration. Guys believe me it is so useful. You can try anything that has SPF 50 just as long as its suitable for your skin but i personally love this one. I even got my boyfriend to include sunscreen in his morning routine hehe so you know it really works.

The product costs about 500 pesos and you can order them online or buy at Watsons.

APPLY SUNSCREEN! OKAY?! :)

4. LAY BARE EXFOLIATING CREAM (underarms)

I've been using this exfoliating cream for my underarms for about 7 months ever since i started waxing. Girls, shaving your underarms will give you a lot of ingrown hair and give you those dark spots. So, I tried laybare's cream and what it does it that it enables the ingrown hair to come out of the skin, so the hair can grow and removed easily.

5. LOVELY CAUSMETICS - CHEEK AND LIP TINT

YAY MAKEUP TIME! i haven't been using a lot of makeup recently because i got kinda lazy but i still try to use some on a daily basis, just the natural makeup and any lip and cheek tint are always the best choice.

This has been by far my fav go to lip and cheek tint. I use this product almost everyday and it gives me this natural glow throughout the day. My Favorite shade is 'AQUARIUS' and you can get them online on instagram @lovelycausmetics

6. BENEFIT POMADE

I LOVE THIS! pricey product but its so worth it! this can last me up to at least a year. This pomade has saved me from spending too much on eyebrow pencils. I know most people don't buy this 'cuz they don't know how to use it but its actually simple guys and theres a lot of tutorials on youtube that could help you.

7. PALMER'S LIP BALM

Saved the best for last! Lip balms are actually important for your lips, and my personal favorite would have to be Palmer's cocoa butter lip balm. I wear it every night before going to bed and during the day if I'm not wearing any lipstick but there are times i use them as a base for my lips before putting on my lipstick.

I have this really bad habit of peeling off the dry skin on my lips then it would start bleeding, so if you guys do this - DONT! haha just get in the habit of putting on lip balms and your lips will be soft, pinkish and no more dryness.
