My Take
First of all, please forgive me if my Cream Silk bottle looks so beat up in this photo. Sample Room didn't send it to me looking like that. They always send fresh products. I was just soooo excited when it arrived that I decided to peruse it prior to taking photos. By the time that we got to a camera, the bottle wasn't cute anymore. 😆 Anyways.
Cream Silk Triple Keratin Rescue Ultra Conditioner list of ingredients and other details.
This product promises to tame frizz, revive and restore damaged hair with its Keratin content while also maintaining the vibrancy of the color and it speaks to me as I've had those procedures done this year. I used this product around the time that my regrowth (and therefore my real hair damage) was already showing.

After using this, I can say that I just have neutral feeling about it. You know, I don't hate it but I also did not fall head-over-heels about it. My hair feels smooth at the start but as I hit the PM I can see the frizz coming. Knowing that my hair is too dry and too frizzy anyway, it would take a miracle and a hair iron to totally tame it. But I love the sweet smell that it has and that even if the day has passed my hair still smells good and fresh. It also helped maintain the vibrancy of my hair color.

Will I buy this? Maybe not this variant but I will still keep buying Cream Silk conditioners as a whole. They make some of the best hair conditioners in the country after all!

My Take
This treatment creme is my favorite in this bunch! First of all, I love the sweet floral scent and how it stays sweet throughout the day. Above all, it really performs well in taming the frizz and taking away the dullness. When I started using this, I realized that for my hair type, I really need something more than just the daily conditioner. I needed something richer to be used once or twice a week to pamper my crowning glory.

Will I purchase this again? Big YES!
Vaseline Healthy White Fresh & Fair Cooling UV Gel Lotion
Price: Php 318.50 for 300 ml/Php 202.00 for 200 ml/Php 116.00 for 100 ml

What is it?
Get all of the fairness and protection without the stickiness with Vaseline’s first non-sticky lotion, Vaseline Healthy White Fresh & Fair Cooling UV Gel Lotion! It comes in a light, non-greasy gel formulation that contains 10x Vitamin B3, SPF, and cooling menthol to restore skin fairness, to protect the skin from sun’s UV damage, and to provide a fresh feel throughout the day under hot and humid climates. It’s also infused with micro-droplets of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly, the holy grail of skin healing, to provide moisture to the skin and to help repair the damage deep within.

My Take
This lotion, being the gel type, is perfect for those who can't take the heavy feeling of having creamy or sticky lotion on the skin. Yes, they exist. :) Thankfully I am just chill about it when it comes to lotions; I can take the creamy type or gel type. However, I want it to be something that is easily absorbed by the skin and something that will keep it feeling soft and smooth. This Vaseline lotion does both of that. I also love the light and fresh scent. It says that it has UV protection however it is not indicated if how much is the SPF content. That's a bummer for since I prefer something that has SPF 15 or more with it. On making the skin fairer in 2 weeks, I also did not notice any changes on my skin based on those claims.

Will I purchase this? I would say no. But there is another Vaseline product that I have used previously and I'm glad that I decided to take a photo of it for reference. It's the Vaseline Healthy White Serum with SPF 30 PA +++. It' s also lightweight but it has everything else that I was looking for in the Gel Lotion like the SPF and the brightening effects. So don't fret Vaseline. You didn't loose a customer in me, it's just a matter of preference. ;)

XO,

It felt like Christmas came early when my package from BeautyMNL arrived. It came complete with a Christmas themed wrapper and a tag that said "Happy Holidays, Beautiful!" and I just hastily opened it because I was particularly excited about the three nude lipsticks from Maybelline which came in a gift set called "Will you MLBB me? 💗 ". I have become a lipstick addict lately and when I am shopping with BeautyMNL I'm sure that I am getting fresh and authentic stocks. So without further ado, here's my BeatyMNL haul!


I have shopped twice at BeautyMNL in less than a month; blame it on their promos such as free shipping at no minimum order required. And now this one in particular: the 3 nude lipsticks gift set for Php 699.00 that is so hard to resist. 

THE "WILL YOU MLBB ME?" SET FROM MAYBELLINE

When I ordered this set, I thought that in case I didn't like one of the lippies I would willingly give it away. Let's just say that I fell in love at first swipe so I'm keeping 'em. The regular price for each piece of Creamy Matte Brown Nude lipstick is Php 299.00. The MLBB Gift Set came at Php 699.00 so that means I saved Php 99.00 or Php 33.00 for each lippie. Not a bad deal, huh?

Left to Right: Clay Crush, Touch of Spice and Nude Nuance
Color Description are as follows. I got it from www.beautymnl.com.
Maybelline Creamy Matte in Touch of Spice: A universally-flattering mauve.
Maybelline Creamy Matte in Nude Nuance: A beautiful rosy brown. 
Maybelline Creamy Matte in Clay Crush: A pretty peach-brown with golden undertones. 
The colors are all very office friendly and just having thee around, I feel inspired and fired up to go to work. However, these can also be amplified to suit for night outs, especially Nude Nuance and Touch of Spice. Touch of Spice is said to be a favorite of Georgina Wilson's and I can see why. These three are all my favorites. Even when I'm not using them, they are also hits on the olfactory department - they smell like chocolate!

NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM IN STOCKHOLM

This one came with my previous order - the very first time that I tried ordering at BeautyMNL. It actually cost Php 390.00 which is tad higher than the prices of those at other online shops but I'm really wary of buying from unknown sources since there's a proliferation of knockoffs in the market. Anyway, I am also happy about this purchase. I know there's a Nudie Lipstick theme going on in this post and I am totes enjoying this trend. :)

The SMLC Stockhom is described in the NYX website as a Mid-Tone Beige Pink. Thanks to the pink part, this one still makes me look pretty flushed and not sickly pale. This one also smells yum, like cake or vanilla. It pretty much stays put, unless you eat something oily.

BEACHBORN SEA SALT SPRAY

This one is DA BOMB! At Php 180.00 per 100 mL bottle, I have a shot at getting Serena Van der Woodsen-like hair! What's not to love? This one also comes  handy when making the baby hairs and strays behave whenever I do  a pony tail. Just a tiny glitch though, my spritzer won't spritz anymore after a couple of uses. I will need a replacement bottle. Sigh!

VASELINE LIP THERAPY

Lastly, I grabbed this Vaseline Lip Therapy tube because I knew I would using matte lipsticks often and it could dry out my lips. That's me being cautious. It only cost Php 75.00 so it's definitely a winner.


Thanks to BeautyMNL, I don't have to go to a physical just to get my beauty fix. Even if I live in the province and have never seen a Maybelline beauty counter here (OMG!), I'm definitely catching up with other beauty junkies about the latest raves and cheap thrills. 

It's definitely a beauty destination for me.
