my current skincare regimen

hey bellas! it's an eerie day at the office - all bosses and other colleagues are on leave! i only have one colleague sitting near me haha! people are trying to finish up their leaves as the year ends. i'll be having my fair share of these leaves too as tomorrow i'll be off to church camp for 4 days! i'll be leaving you all today with a post on my current skincare regimen and i'll be scheduling posts for Monday and Tuesday.

ok, so i finally decided to create another video again - i only have two including this one! lame! haha. anyway, this is the first time though i've included my face haha the last time it's my hands whose doing the "talking" lol. alright, so i've briefly went through what skincare products i use in the morning and before bedtime. if you are currently not able to see the video, don't fret as i will include my insights right below it.


Day:
Belo Glycolic Soap
Avene Cleanance Anti-Shine Purifying Lotion
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
Avene Cleanance Anti-Shine Regulation Lotion
Avene Very High Protection Emulsion SPF 50+

Night:
Belo Glycolic Soap
Avene Cleanance Anti-Shine Purifying Lotion
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
Avene Cleanance Anti-Shine Regulation Lotion
Avene Cleanance-K Cream Gel

overall thoughts on each products:
- Belo Glycolic Soap: this soap definitely cleanses my skin without leaving it tight and helps to minimize blackheads and whiteheads (you can see my review on Belo Oil Control Kit, which it is included in).
- Avene Cleanance Anti-Shine Purifying Lotion: brings back moisture to my face but rids of excess oil, love this!
- Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel: i'm head over heels with this moisturizer! best i've tried to date. (see my review here)
- Avene Cleanance Anti-Shine Regulation Lotion: highly lessened oil on my face - must product to try for oily skinned individuals!
- Avene Very High Protection Emulsion SPF 50+: great sunblock overall, just hoped it could be less greasy/creamy so i could really slather on more
- Avene Cleanance-K Cream Gel: sensitive skin's best pal! keeps pimple away! highly recommended.

i will write separate posts on all Avene products i've mentioned on this post/video. but for now all i can say is, "Avene, why is it that we only met recently?! You are such a lifesaver!" (or skinsaver, err whatever lol you get the idea haha)

hope you ladies found this mini review helpful. as i've said, stay tuned for detailed, one-by-one reviews!

have a restful and happy weekend ahead!

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.
