It feels like only yesterday when 2017 started and now here we are in the middle of February. It will be summer soon so let's enjoy the few days left when we wake up to cold mornings, breezy noons and rainy afternoons. How time flies, indeed. And every time I look at my blog, I'm appalled at how much of a slacker I've become, with no blog entries for February. Whaaaat! What is happenin' to me? Well, anyway, to fix that situation, I am posting my favorite products for January Twenty-Seventeen. If I may repeat it again (!), the weather's been cold and I have suffered from a few issues skin dryness and just coldness in general. I'll stop blabbin' and start talking about the products. All products were purchased by me, no PR stuff here just me sharing my favorites and some quick comments. ;)



Nichido Final Powder in Shade Ivory Glow
- A very affordable finishing powder (Php 150 for a tub of 25g) but don’t easily dismiss it because of its low price tag. The fine powder is great for baking purposes and I love how I still look good after wearing it all day. Price: Php 150.00//Got Mine At: Watsons Robinsons Place Tacloban


Suesh Concealer Pot in Shade C210
- I may have found a holy grail concealer with this one from Suesh. It’s yellow toned and perfect for cancelling those dark circles. It does cake so make sure to prep the under eye area beforehand and don’t forget to set with powder (like the Nichido Final Powder) so that it stays put. I will be posting a review of this soon! Price: Php 110.00//Got Mine At: www.beautymnl.com

The Suesh Concealer in Shade C210
Human Heart Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil
- January’s cold weather has left us all feeling brrrrr and yes, our skins have dried up too! Thank God I still had this beauty oil in my stash. I have used it as a body moisturizer and it’s doing great in keeping my skin soft and smooth. And since it’s made of oil, it also help keep the skin feeling warm. Price: Php 175.00// Got Mine At: www.humanheartnature.com

Nivea Crème
- Still for fighting the dryness bout. Since it comes in a very compact tin container, it’s perfect for carrying around. Price: Php 153.00 (gift pack with 4 Nivea products)//Got Mine At: local Mercury Drug store


Tresemme Keratin Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner
- Ok, am I such a looser for trying out the Treseme line just recently? Well, maybe. Ha ha! It's really good, I couldn't keep my hands off my hair. Seriously. ;) Price: Php 120.00 each//Got Mine At: local Mercury Drug

Maybelline Baby Lips Love Color Lip Balm in Cherry Kiss and ColorSensational Creamy Matte Lipstick in Nude Nuance
- I got two lippie products from Maybelline on this list. One is for giving a nice and subtle hint of color and the other one is for a more vampy look. Thankfully they are both non-drying so my puckers are well taken cared of. Price: Php 88.00 (Lip Balm) from Watsons//Php 299.00 (Nude Nuance) from wwwbeautymnl.com

That would be me, wearing a subtle hint of Maybelline's Nude Nuance. 
Witch's Pouch Selfie Perfect Eyebrow in Gray Brown
- It has a twist up mechanism so we can do away with sharpening. It also comes with a spoolie on the other end so there's no need to bring an additional brush, especially if you've got a small purse. I got this one from Althea for less than Php 150.00, I think. It's super sulit for its price. I will also be reviewing this one soon. Price: discounted at Php 120.00-ish from ph.althea.kr

Musings, Thought Bubbles :)

My youth is yours.
This January too, I found myself listening to Troye Sivan's Youth a lot. The song was released like, eons ago and I've only discovered it recently because I'm no longer that young and I barely have time to check out what's on Billboard's Hot 100. Excuses. But gosh! It made me long for younger more carefree days; it made me miss my hometown, my family, my crazy siblings, my good ol' friends from college. Sigh! The only things I don't miss about being eighteen were the pimples and the Math subjects. Ha ha! But here we are. Seize the golden moment; treasure the wonderful memories.

"My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls"
