San-san Nail Polish in Sea green and Warm blue swatch

As I promised in my  last post I will upload the swatches of the San-san nail polish I bought last month.it took me a while to post it here because my camera broke,I have only one camera which I used in taken pictures of swatches and products to post here in my blog,so long just check the images below.(sorry about the kinda blur shots)

San-san Nail Polish in Sea green and Warm blue

First coat of warm blue

second coat of warm blue

first coat of sea green

second coat of sea green

My verdict?

At first coat,I was disappointed about the texture of both nail polish.they are lighter shades and I had a hard time applying them evenly.

At second coat,I forgot my disappointment on Sea green(laughs).the sea green became opaque and it applies evenly unlike the warm blue still the same.

next time I purchase San-san nail polish I will choose the darker shades like the sea green.I'm in love with these shade!2 thumbs up for San-san!

HBC purchased

Got a chance to visit HBC store located at Magic Mall Urdaneta City last week,I badly need a new affordable makeup brushes so I bought the Allue travel size set of  brush for only Php69.I also purchased two san-san nail polish for Php35,one is sky blue and the other is mint green.

I love the old style paper bag,eco friendly=)

My loot for the month of June(I am saving for my Birthday this coming July 22^_^)

Travel size makeup brushes
I've only tested the blush brush and the Lip brush

My Verdict for the HBC Allue travel size blush & Lip brush?

- The Blush brush is soft,even though its cheap the quality of this brush is great.I love its portable mini size great for travelling and it nicely distribute my powder blush on.

- The Lip Brush is kinda stiff at first,you need to wash it with warm water to soften the brush bristles. 

I tried to apply my Mac Chattebox lipstick with these lip brush but didn't worked well.the brush digs my lipstick ha!ha!.Its hard to blend the lipstick using these brush,you need to apply the lipstick direct to the tube then use this brush to soften & to tone down the color.

will post the swatches in my next post,promise=)

My Review : Hype Gluta-C Intensive Whitening Moisturizer + SPF 25

 After finishing my block and white whitening lotion with spf 50(will post my review in my next post),I decided to try another brand.I bought the Hype's Gluta-C Intensive Whitening Moisturizer with SPF 25 300ml bottle.I choose Gluta-C because of its multiple benefits,Its whitening, moisturizing,anti aging & lightens dark spots which is my major major problem.I had many insect bites on my legs which leads to dark spots,I am hoping that Gluta-C will work well on that.now,lets proceed to my review=)

I have an occasionally oily skin,sometimes tends to dry because of some facial wash I've used.Ponds launched a facial wash called Pond’s Pure White Deep Cleansing Facial Foam With Activated Carbon +B3.what is the use of Activated Carbon +B3?


Activated Carbon +B3

However, applications of activated carbon have increased significantly in the recent years with the advancement of activated carbon process capability. The applications can be classified into two categories: gas phase and liquid phase.  some form of usage are:Gasoline Fuel recovery,ELCD,Deodorizer,Cigarette Filter,Cleaning Waste Water.

I use this every time I have zits on my face,its very effective in flattening the zits and leaves no pimple marks at all.

*Cheap price,not less than 100pesos for a 100ml tube
*Has a light Gray foam
*Stings in some part of the face(like in the side of my nose where the dry patch is located)
*Really effective in treating pimples
*Leaves no pimple marks 
*Drying so be sure to use your favorite moisturizer after washing your face with this facial wash.
*No weird scent,has a mild smell
*Removes dead skin cells,white heads,make up & dirt(when you rub it for a long time)
*Does not remove my stubborn black heads on my nose.
*Available at local drugstores nation wide,Watson,selected department stores.
