 Last December, I could not have resisted taking a picture with the huge poster of Kim Hyun-joong at The Face Shop store at SM Megamall, if not for my super kill-joy then boylet.

Okay. Now it's not because of this star why I'm hooked with this korean brand so far. For the record, I hate

The Power Duo On Your Morning Facial Ritual

3:24 PM Cintamuni 1 Comments

2010 I think is the year when I saw I already have my fine lines on my face especially under the eyes. That time, I also noticed my facial complexion becoming worse everyday, and i started to have pimples and of course, pimple marks! I even went to a dermatologist to consult how to remove those ugly pimple marks. They were dark so I always needed to put concealer over it just to hide the ugliness.

Well, I don't want that to happen anymore. So what I did was I tried using toner and moisturizer on top of my daily facial cleanser. And it worked. I bought korean-branded toners (simply because they are milder to my face compared to the locally manufactured brands). I usually test a couple, or rather, use a different toner at different times, depending on my mood. Good thing they don't mess up, they don't give me any irritations whatsoever.

This morning, what I used as a toner is Skin Food's Agave Cactus toner.

The reason why I'm frowning is because I find it hard to take my own pic using my new phone.

 It's cool on the face and it clears out the pores on the face right after washing. The reason why we need to put on moisturizeris one, our skin needs hydration; two, after using a toner, the skin is somewhat dried out (although Skin Food toners doesn't completely dry the skin out). And this morning, I used my newly bought skin essence as a skin moisturizer. It is I think only available locally, but claims it is manufactured in Korea. Pure Beauty's Pomegranate antioxidant essence.




I'm not sure what's the difference between a moisturizer, essence, or an emulsion. Well, I also use emulsion as a moisturizer, too, and actually stopped buying the ones tagged as "moisturizer." But I think it is in the composition of the liquid how they are classified. I had read somewhere that in tropical countries (like in Manila), it is better to use an emulsion instead of a moisturizer.

Put on some sunblock, too. Have a good one, everyone!

Ready To Face What 2012 Has In Store For Me

11:09 AM Cintamuni 0 Comments



I'm so throwing all of the garbage I have accumulated the past year 2011. That includes throwing away all those beautiful O.N.E. Naturales packaging of the ones I've used up already i.e., lotion, body scrub, soap, body butter. All of the excess baggage, too, you all need to go. :) It's going to be a new me on 2012.

O.N.E. Naturales products still occupy one-third of my toiletries, so a few of them products I haven't blogged about yet will have the privelege to be on spotlight this year, here on my blog. Aside from that, I am so ready to try on some new beauty products this year, and will have  to highlight a few more Korean products.

This year, I promise myself to wear makeup everyday, to look more polished, more sophisticated. Hello to a more beautiful me.
