Skin Care - Routine and Products

Hello guys! I am back.

Skincare is more important than make up.

Your skin is with you until you grow old and you have to take care of it. I personally don't go to a dermatologist to help out with my skin because it's very expensive. I will blog about the products I use and how I use it on a daily basis. My skin care routine is very simple and you can find these products in Watsons. Let's begin!

Pre-Cleanse (Make up Remover)

Step 1 - PRE-CLEANSE: What I use to remove my make up is the Lips & Eyes Make up Remover from Etude House. It removes all of the make up on my face and it also easily removes waterproof mascara.

Step 2 - CLEANSER: I use is the Cetaphil Mild Cleanser. It is very mild and it feels like your cleaning your face with milk. I use this every morning and night.

*Another product I just discovered is the Baking Powder BB deep Cleansing Foam from Etude House. After trying it once, it made my face squeaky clean! I really like this cleanser and I plan on using this if I wore heavy make up during the day. I won't really use this all the time since Cetaphil is my holy grail cleanser.



*EXFOLIATOR:  I am still on a hunt for gentle ones (Comment down below for suggestions)

Step 3 -  TONER: To remove the deep seated dirt/make up on my face, I use Eskinol Spotless White Pure Calamsi Extract. This toner is a bit strong for my skin so I use just a little bit of the product and wipe it on my skin using a cotton ball. The Calamansi extract is known to whiten the dark spots on my skin. Just a warning: This toner may not work for other skin types. Also, if you don't like strong smelling toners, stay away from this one. (I use this at night time or before I wear my make up)


 






 *MASK: I use different kinds of mask. Most of my favorite mask products are from Etude House. (I don't use masks everyday! Maybe once a week)

Step 4 - MOISTURIZER: For this step, I use the Cetaphil Moisturizer. It is a very thick cream. I already have oily-combination skin so I only use this moisturizer at night. This product leaves my skin soft and very smooth. (I also use this -just a pea sized amount- before I wear my make up - as a base)













-DISCLAIMER-

 *I know that there are  Cetaphil Products and Etude House products mentioned in this blog. This blog is not sponsored... I really have no partners with any brands to begin with. I just like their products very much and it really works from my skin type which is Sensitive, Acne prone, Oily combination skin.

*I am also not an expert on skin care and make up... These products are just my own way of maintaining my skin.
 
*Also, there are steps that I skipped... like Exfoliating and the Serums and Natural oils. I am still on a hunt for good exfoliators that are still gentle... and also I still need to educate myself on what serums to look for. If you have suggestions please comment down below!

This blog will be updated if there will be changes on my skin care routine.

Maybelline Water Shine Lipstick Review

Hello again my dear readers!

Maybelline Watershine MF21

Today's post will be about the Maybelline Water Shine Lipstick in the shade MF21. I bought this lipstick in Watsons at the SM Mall of Asia. Maybelline is such an affordable make up brand, so I decided to pick this up.

Here are my thoughts: (Again, as usual, I am wearing the lipstick now as I type this review)

Application: Application of this product is very easy because it's creamy and easy to control.

How it looks on my lips: This lipstick looks glossy/shiny, and it really lives up to its name which is "WATER SHINE"... since it says that, I would really expect a shiny/ glossy finish

MF21 on my lips

How it feels on my lips: My lips feels moisturized right now because of the creamy texture.

Longevity: I've been wearing this for months. it does fade easily when I eat, and especially if I drink water. (Side note: I always alternate my lipstick use like after I use the matte lipstick today, tomorrow I'll use the moisturizing/glossy lipstick)

Smell: This product has no scent which is good (for everyone I suppose)

Packaging: The packaging of this lipstick lives up to its name again. The packaging is like a blue-ish mirror... it looks like water (kind of).

I hope you liked this review. I hope this review helped you in finding the lipstick of your choice!

xoxo,
Camille

Beauty Blogging Experience

Hi everyone! Let me tell you about my Beauty Blogging Experience... It's nothing fancy... I don't go abroad and learn about make up, I don't go to conventions and seminars for it, and I don't go to make up lessons. 

My name is Camille and I'm from the Philippines. I'm new at beauty blogging and reviewing. I learned how to talk about make up from the Beauty Gurus found on YouTube. I started with make up when I started college. My college encourages us to wear light make up which forced me to learn how to apply make up on myself. I didn't like make up before college... I actually promised myself to NOT wear make up which is funny cause look at me now... I'm reviewing about MAKE UP.

I am not a professional at make up. I don't know everything about it and I'm still learning about the other beauty tips that I haven't done yet.  I have been blogging a lot lately. I'm not sure if I'm good at it. I'm not sure if I'm giving you guys ALL the information that you need. All I know is that I love beauty cosmetics. I love how MAKE UP gives us character and gives us the chance to express. For me, that is what make up is all about. It's to create.
