To break it down, I used the following products to create this look.

You may click the bold fonts to read a review of each product.

Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream  as moisturizer and sun protection. It leaves a matte finish but the color is kinda off for my skin tone so I just use it underneath my foundie . I also love the SPF 50 content.

Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser as primer. It really minimizes the appearance of pores. 

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Stay Fresh  Foundation 24H in 104 Golden Beige. Love love the skin-like finish.

Avon True Control Plus Pressed Powder in MP102 Oriental as setting powder.

San San Eye Brow Powder Duo in Chocolate - Dark Brown for the brows. Affordable and works really well.

ZOEVA En Taupe Palette for my eyeshadow.

Becca Highlighter in Moonstone for highlight.

Belle Me Shy Smile Blusher in Rose Gold for the soft flush.

I mixed these two lippies. Maybelline's Nude Nuance is kinda dark for the office so I try to tone it down with the peachy-pink Stockholm from NYX.

Maybelline Creamy Matte Brown Nudes Lipstick in Nude Nuance

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm

I hope you liked this simple look.

Human Heart Nature 100% Natural Bug Shield DEET-Free Lotion

Price: Php 99.75

Where To Buy: Online at www.humanheartnature.com

This mosquito repellent is 100% free from harmful chemicals. It has no DEET, parabens, synthetic fragrance and other toxic substances. Its active ingredients are citronella oil and soybean oil.

I will admit that this product has taken a back seat for the last year. I literally forgot about it. However, the recent news related to the Dengvaxia Vaccine has put me on my toes and even though the said vaccine has never been introduced in the Visayas, I want me and my family to be free from mosquito bites, as much as possible.

Our home is not particularly overpopulated by mosquitoes but there was a time when there were one too many and I was having a hard time sleeping. I actually remembered that I had this is my stash and decided to apply it. The packaging said that you have to reapply it every 2 to 4 hours but I never got to reapplying it. You know why? It's because I slept so soundly after applying it. It really kept the bugs away.

The creamy lotion doesn't feel heavy when applied. It just has a little hint of oiliness, which keeps the skin from feeling dry. If there's a downside to this product, it's that it has a really strong scent. It's really fragrant, sharply sweet and a bit tangy, must be because of the mixture of natural oils. Well, if the scent is what's keeping the bugs away, thank you very much, I will take the smell over the bites, itchiness or worse, Dengue.

Am also glad that it's 100% natural and free of harmful ingredients.

Another thing that puts me off when I try to shop online is when they have limited payment types accepted. I don't have a credit card. My debit card no longer works for online shopping because I think my bank has been more cautious to avoid fraudsters. That usually leaves me with the bank deposit option but there aren't many banks this side of the universe. #probinsyanaproblems.

I was so surprised when I learned that Sephora PH accepts Dragonpay! I've had previous experience with Dragonpay when I shopped with Shopee so I know that it is a gateway for over-the-counter payments such as LBC, Cebuana Lhuillier and M. Lhuilier, etc. See photo above! Yes! You can shop with Sephora PH and pay through those very pang-mass (for the masses) payment options!
