REVIEW: Skincare for a Glowing Skin

What's not to notice when you have a glowing skin?

Your skincare of course! So, in this blog I have posted four skincare products to which I use to have that flawlessly glowing skin.

if you want to know what are these... just keep on reading.

So, I have been using these products for a week now and they are amazing! Works well with one another, I didn't have any issue or any allergic reaction (I have dry sensitive skin) on each product. **even during and after my monthly period, no pimple at all.

Here are the products:

COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying treatment toner - low pH toner that refreshes, softens, evens out skin tone and gently exfoliates skin to remove and prevent fromation of whiteheads and blackeads. (was able to lessen/diminish some textures, whiteheads and blackheads on my skin especially on the corners of my nose) highly recommended

The Skin House Aloe Vera Bubble Foam Cleanser - a mild and moisturizing cleanser that deeply cleans the skin removing excess oil, dirt that can clog pores. (This is an awesome cleanser - feels like a carbonated cleanser that pulls out all the dirt and oil but does not dry the skin) highly recommended

The Body Shop Japanese Matcha Tea Mask - (2-3x a week) a creamy gentle exfoliating masks that contains antioxidant Japanese matcha tea, anti pollution dandelion extract and skin soothing aloe vera to reveal skin that feels deeply purified. ( has a light tingling sensation - in a good way. Skin feels smooth, bright and moisturized) recommended

Loreal Hydra Genius Aloe Water - lightweight moisturizer that refreshes and locks in moisture in your skin. (I use this night and day - alone or as makeup base. Works wonderful on the skin. Gives an instant hydration to your dry skin) recommended

Here are the shops where you can purchase these items:

REVIEW TI'AM My Signature Red C Serum INGREDIENTS: BENEFITS: TEXTURE and SCENT: Has a liquid-gel-like texture but gets easily absorbed once applied on the skin. smelled like Vitamin C syrup that I used to take when I was a kid. MY THOUGHTS: 1st week Mixed with Klairs Vitamin E mask for 3 days to avoid irritations (for sensitive skin like me) On the 6th day skin started to exfoliate (noticeably in chin and cerners of my nose) No drastic change skin feels a bit tight and dry. 2nd Week dryness and tightness of skin continued especially on the chin and nose area. Prominent pores lessened as well. Had 1 small acne that healed in 2 days. 3rd Week Dryness and tightness lessened. Removed some black and whiteheads in the corners if my nose. Noticed that skin looks evenly toned. 4th Week A little dry only in the corners of my nose. Skin looks clear and bright. I guess, the outline says it all. But to be hone...

REVIEW - Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Primer, Foundation and Freestyle Highlighter

FENTY BEAUTY by RIHANNA (PS. long post) It has been a long time coming. Now it's here! Behold! FENTY BEAUTY, the new makeup line created by the pop icon Rihanna . Luckily, it was launched here in Dubai on a Friday (it means, I'm on a day off. Hurray!) So, when I saw that it will launch at 10am, I set my alarm to be able to go to Sephora Dubai Mall by the said time. Now, as I set foot to Sephora quite few people are clumping up to the Fenty Beauty counter. As I check the counter my initial reaction was "OMG!" with heavy breathing. And so, I ask an employee (Mr. Dee Jay) to help me find my shade on the foundation and other things. I also had a make over (thanks to Mr. Narciso) with the products that I bought and below are the items I grabbed and my initial review. To know more about it, continue reading... 1. Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Primer (Soft Matte) Price: 150 AED Clamis: smooth pore-diffusing extended m...

I only knew that I was chosen when the product arrived at work and handed over to me by the front desk. Baffled, I went over to check Jolse's website and confirmed that I did get chosen! Lucky me! Before I formally start with the review, it is but just to share to you all the necessary details. So, let's begin! PRODUCT INFO: TIA'M Aura Milk Face Peeling Toner is a chemical exfoliating toner. The word "chemical" may sound scary but no worries, it is safe for skin even better than physical exfoliators or commonly known as face scrubs (as it may cause micro tear in our skin). This toner is made up of: AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) BHA (beta hydroxy acids) PHA (poly hydroxy acids) Milk What is PHA? function the same as AHA, but cause less irritation due to their ...
