Luxola: A Wonderful Surprise

few years ago, i got really addicted with online shopping. from discovering my HG MMU foundation by Joppa Minerals to hoarding cheap brushes from Coastal Scents, i was on a high. but the long waiting (usually more than 2 weeks since they come from US by the cheapest shipping method) turned me off and made me gave it up. recently though, my online shopping activity was revived. why? because i met Luxola.

i chanced upon this site when i was browsing Sephora Singapore facebook page. a member mentioned their website and i thought of checking it out. wow, i didn't realized i was in for a treat! they have a selective but very interesting product lineup - Face Atelier, Becca Cosmetics, Sleek Makeup and what caught my eye, Deborah Lippmann nail polishes! i quickly ordered three shades: Bad Romance, Across the Universe and Ruby Red Slippers (which i gave to Nikki when we met last Thursday). 


my order came in a chic paper bag with their identity - i was impressed!


accurate order - check!


the goodies!


my goodies, all spread out

i must say i was very amazed at the free, next-day delivery service they have. and i got very nice freebies too! not to mention catering to my little request to deliver my goodies at the time my maide will be at home (Luxola texted me they will arrive in 20-60 minutes but within that timeframe my maid will be fetching my kids, they graciously and happily obliged to deliver at the time i mentioned she'll be home. if that is not superb customer service, i don't know what else is!) i wish they will stock up on more shades like Superstar, i think i'll keep coming back again and again! hmn, maybe i should ask them to carry Rescue Beauty Lounge next??? ^_^

if you live in Singapore, do check out their website (www.luxola.com) and find yourself luxurious keepers in the beauty department!

P.S.
Btw, i totally forgot to include the Belo Glycolic Soap in my post yesterday! i've forgotten to take a picture of it apparently. (>_<) anyway, i've updated the post to include review on the soap as well - which i love too!

i got BELOfied!

i went back to Manila around late second week of July to get my 3rd ESWL . but before that, i went to Belo at The Residences @ Greenbelt with my youngest sister to get a facial and advice on how to improve our skin. i've never had facial EVER before so i didn't know what to expect. when we arrived, the ladies at the reception greeted us promptly and asked our names to know our appointment. the ambiance of the clinic is very serene, inviting and pleasant. immediately after getting in, i inhaled this clean, jasmine(?) aroma - uhm, very soothing. one of the ladies at the reception received us, then ushered us into available seats and shortly thereafter were offered drinks then asked to fill up a form (since it's our first time there). after a little while, we were assisted to our respective treatment rooms for the facial. my facialist that day was Matet. she was pretty (her skin was radiant!), professional and very accomodating with my queries. she also made me feel at

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

Image
*post changed on 9th January 2012: i've only noticed that i actually wrote "Belo ACNE Control Kit" when i got several comments on this post. it should be "Belo OIL Control Kit". i'm not sure if that stirred some confusion or if there is an acne kit per se but just to clarify, that the set i got is BELO OIL CONTROL KIT. so sorry for the confusion previously! previously, i've shared with you that i've tried Belo Acne  Oil Control Kit when i went for my very first facial and at the well-renowned Belo medical clinic (went at their Greenbelt branch). after finishing the entire line, i'd like to share my thoughts and experience. first, to refresh your memory of what the kit includes: i was advised with the following regimen: Morning: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Sunblock Gel Evening: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Daily Peel Solution on the Glycolic Soap: - i've never us

Terrific hairday at Affascinante Salon

Image
I recently went back to Manila for vacation since my kids had a one week school holiday and I had to see my Uro for my followup checkup (have you heard, am stone-free already - thank GOD!!!). One of the plans that materialized during that trip is having my daughter's hair rebonded - for the first time - and getting my hair colored since my regrow is showing already. I went straight to my trusted stylist, Wheng of Affascinante Salon. My daughter before rebonding: My daughter after rebonding: Huge difference right? My daughter can't hide her excitement. She now appreciates beauty a li'l more - she hates putting on makeup because it takes a lot effort she says. Ah, we're total opposites hehe. Of course, it's the mother's turn next! I didn't have a before picture though I took after shots in different lighting. Btw, i asked Wheng to color my hair reddish brown. Also, in case you're wondering she used Framesi coloring products.
