Snoe Suntervention

You may already know that I just had a vacation last week. I was in a country with hot temperature same here as the Philippines. Of course a must item while I was packing was Snoe Suntervention Sunblock! I was so excited to be able to use Snoe Suntervention again which I already used last Holy Week. Along with my vaca buddies, we went to several places to have fun and enjoy. The sun was shining brightly and  it was time to test again Snoe Suntervention.

Here's my verdict:

• It has a nice smell that I really love. It's not stinky on the nose, just right given the heat of the sun.
• It is not sticky when applying.
• I also did not feel any sticky feeling while in the middle of my activities.
• I love the fact that it has SPF 80!!! 
• Over all, I like it! I even shared it with my gals so that they will also be protected by the sun's uva and uvb rays. 
• And of course, I want to say this again! A proudly pinoy product!

Go and get your Snoe Suntervention Sunblock and share me your experience too.

Disclaimer: I got the item during Snoe Suntervention Bloggers event, review about the product is base on my own personal experience and honest opinion.

Sentosa Day

Well hello!!!

Hello blue shoes!

It was a super hot day during our Sentosa and City tour itinerary. I already know the activities for the day so I opted to wear something super comfortable and very breezy! Again, SMART FASHION! I wore a loose top (loose tops are very breezy) and matched it with a body hugging floral skirt (this balances the loose top where I can still move freely). This outfit is very comfortable yet very fashionable. I don't bring a lot of accessories when abroad cause I tend to leave things behind (boo!!!). To match my girly floral skirt, I used my Aranaz bracelet which I got early this year. To know more about it check my previous post. And to complete the look, I wore my new I Candy animal print eye wear. Yippee!!! I super love this, fashion and function in one!!! I also love to use super handy back pack that will make me hands free and take lots of pictures.

For me, I always pack light when going abroad, I always see to it to bring few foot wear that I can match with my other outfit. I also bring few and easy to wear accessories. 

(BKK top, Forever 21 skirt, Slap watch, Aranaz bracelet, I Candy Shades, Jansport back pack, Mel Shoes)

Chatime Strawberry Milk Tea

I love drinking milk teas! One of my favorite milk tea brand is Chatime. I've tried several flavors already and yesterday I saw their strawberry based flavors. Again, the weather is soooo hooot!! I wanted a refreshing drink and Chatime was my pick. They have a wide variety of drinks that you can choose from!

Here's what I got.

With out Flash

With Flash

There are really strawberries inside the drink.

My verdict:

• Balance of milk, tea and strawberry flavors! No particular element is over powering.
• It's like a milk tea strawberry shake! Yum yum yum!!
• Very refreshing specially with the heat of the summer.
• I got it at less sugar and less ice and it's a little sweet for me, for this flavor I can do it at 50% sugar. (Sweetness really depends on each and every one's taste)
• Overall, I would definitely want to get this flavor again!
• By the way it is very affordable. Large size is only Php 90.00

Here at the other Strawberry based drinks of Chatime.

Nivea Visage Sunblock

As a beauty blogger and mu enthusiast, my everyday must have item is a facial sunblock. I became knowledgeable about its benefits in several beauty shows, read in beauty articles, magazines and heard it from my friends.

What does it do?? Aside from taking care of our skin as it blocks UVA and UVB rays of the sun, it also helps us to prevent future wrinkles and lines. As the saying, prevention is better than cure. We should take care of our skin as early as our teen age years. There are a lot of facial sunblocks available in the market with ample spf for everyday use. When the sun is up you should use at least SPF 30 while SPF 15 when it's cloudy or when your indoor (I am no expert on this, so researching will help you better understand:) ).  

To help you pick the right facial sunblock here are my personal guidelines.

• It should not be sticky on the face.
• It does not make our face turn to color white.
• Easy to blend. 
• Oil free or good for oily skin.
• Has at least SPF 30

After trying out a lot of sunblock available in the market. Finally!! I found one brand that completes my personal guidelines. It's Nivea Visage facial sunblock.

Can you see that it blended with my skin? Applied it at the right part of my hand. 

This sunblock really answers my need in searching for a sunblock. And the bonus part! It is readily avaialable in leading supermarkets and department stores.

St. Ives Apricot Scrub

We girls are very particular with our skin. Make up won't be perfect with out a perfect skin! Besides our daily skin care routine and monthly facials we also need weekly scrubs to remove dead skin cells. This will help us to have healthy and rejuvenated skin. When you feel good with your skin, you will definitely feel beautiful and confident.

St. Ives is a popular brand for facial scrubs, I learned and have been using it since high school. I've got to use other brands as well and now I'm back with St. Ives.

Here's what I got.

I got this variant as you know, I have oily skin (hindi naman na ako teenager ah! Looks like teenager lang! haha!!) As you can see it is oil free, blemish and blackhead control and it has salicylic acid. 

Can you see the fine little apricot scrubs?? 

My verdict:

• It does not dry up my skin.
• My skin felt smooth right after using it.
• Removed my dead skin cells.
• I'm not sure if it really removed blackheads.
• I like the apricot smell!! Like Like Like!!!
• It's not harsh to the skin.

But all in all I like it and I will continue to use it. I will use this as my exfoliating product!

What are you using? Share your story with me.

PILL

You all know that I am more of a flats person. I confess that it's really hard for me to wear high heels! It doesn't matter if it's branded or not. Well well well, as the saying goes..... in every rule there's always an exception. And Yes! For me too, I have an exception to this fact. haha!!! And I'm happy to share with you all my high heels savior, Pill footwear!   

I've known Pill ever since it started. But then again, I only get their flats since I feel comfortable wearing flats. But of course us girls, we do sacrifice comfort vs style specially on some occasions when we do really need to wear high heels. And I'm glad that my feet fell in love with Pill footwear (this may seem O.A but I am just sharing my honest experience) and I am very comfortable wearing high heels of Pill. 

Here's my latest Pill adore :)
