Review: Bremod Color Care Conditioner in Red

Now that I am back to blonde I want to make the most out of it by adding hair colors! However my hair has been brittle after bleaching again. I needed something that won't strip out moisture from the hair. That means no more hydrogen peroxide or harmful elements, but could that be possible? Introducing one of my new discoveries, Bremod Color Care Conditioner.

What is it? 

Bremod Color Conditioner

3 Perfect Effect: Repair the damaged hair! Strong hair roots! Lock color!
[150g]

How to use: Bremod Color Conditioner help seal in beautiful colour and add intense shine. Simply replace your regular conditioner with Bremod Color Conditioner

Available in 4 shades: red, brown, yellow and purple

Packaging
Sturdy plastic tube like most of the color conditioners. There is a safety foil upon opening and it has a flip cover cap. I was amazed with how big the product is.

Experience
 I've bought the red one with the hopes of getting a rose gold type of hue. I have decided to lightly massage the color directly to my hair hoping that I can a light pinkish color (cross fingers!) I did a swatch by getting a little part of my hair colored but in just 5 seconds my hair was completely colored with red! I've washed it off righ away and then tadah. Red hotness. Lol.

On my next attempt I've decided to somehow lessen the potency of the color by mixing Bremod Color Care Conditioner with a part of cream conditioner. I proceeded with applying it on the ends then since I am not so sure if it will be pink or still red I left the top blonde. However I still ended up with red ends!

Here is the end result:

I appreciate how user friendly it is becayse although the color washes off after shampoo, it doesn't transfer on the towels, clothes or sheets. I also tried to use it along with my shampoo to further dilute the color and I achieved the light pink rose gold shade I like which was later on ended up with orangey shade below:

How much and where to buy?
I got mine for P150.

What I love

• No harmful ingredients
• Didn't dry my hair
• Added extra shine
• Affordable
• A little goes a long way
• Doesn't easily transfer 
• Not very messy
• Potent formula
• Vibrant hair color
• Long lasting because it stays for 2 weeks
• Works not just on bleached hair but even on light colored hair

What I don't

• Limited colors
• Not easily accessible

Will I repurchase? 
Yes but one tube can last real long!

Overall~ 
Bremod Color Care Conditioner is a great alternative to color chalks, powders or waxes in terms of temporary colors. Next time I will try the brown or purple!

Review: Karadium Full Moon Lip Tint

Orange lip color brings out a fresh and young vibe I like. So I've been looking for the perfect orange when I found Karadium Full Moon Lip Tint in shade 02 Some.

What is it? 

Water based lip stain formula is smooth to apply with vivid color pigmentations. This attractive lip tint color is meant to last all day long! Smudge proof lip tint keeps its color from fading wherever you go wherever you go whether you are at a pool or crowded places. If extra hydration is needed, apply some lip balm on top to keep intense color with lasting moisture. Caution! Blend it out or fix before the fomula dries to set in place. Once set, the color will not fade or be removed.

Packaging
The tint came with a box so it looks presentable. The tint tube is of course neon orange! It comes with a doe foot applicator.

Experience
This tint is lightly scented so its not a bother when I use it. The tint itself is liquid but not watery nor creamy. It dries just in time after I blend it out on my lips. I have chappy lips lately so its a must to use a lip balm. Once it sets the color sticks like a tattoo but its very lightweight like you've used nothing on your lips.

The Karadium Full Moon Lip Tint is very pigmented and its buildable. It has an all day lasting color on me. I have a habit of biting my lips so this is something new. If it can withstand eating pizza and samgyupsal then surely it can be waterproof enough to be used for swimming. I can't wait to use this for summer.

I also tried it on my cheeks after I use sunblock but the formula is a bit dry to work on however I've still managed to put it on.

How much and where to buy?
I got it on sale for P140 at Jade Scents in their kiosk in Caloocan. Normal price is at P200 at their shopee account.

What I love
Long lasting
Affordable
Smudgeproof
Water proof
Lasts even after a meal
Light weight formula
Gloss tattoo effect
Very pigmented
Buildable color
Unscented
Very nice box and bottle
The only brand with this neon orange color I love!!

What I don't
Drying

Will I repurchase? 
Yes!

Overall~ 
I finally found the longest lasting lip stain with Karadium Full Moon lip tint! Buildable color and light formula makes it a winner in my checklist.

GLUTAREDOX officially launches in the Philippines

GLUTAREDOX, a premier FDA-approved sublingual glutathione officially launches in the Philippines

February 24, 2018 – With a vast selection of both oral and IV-based glutathione products, the normal skin-conscious Filipino would probably have a hard time selecting which is the best product to achieve their skin goals. Now, a new player is being introduced into the fold boasting of a combination of the fast-acting effects of an IV-based glutathione with the convenience of an oral one. GLUTAREDOX, a sublingual glutathione that is made in Italy, officially launched in the country at the EDSA Shari-La Plaza Hotel last February 24. The FDA-approved product is infused with the latest technology to guarantee faster absorption rates and quicker results.

What sets GLUTAREDOX apart from the rest of the products out now in the market would be its innovative way of administration. By using the sublingual method, wherein you melt the tablet under the tongue or at the side of your cheek, basically allows your body to absorb it directly via your capillaries. With that, it goes directly into your blood stream, just like a glutathione injection. Its ORO-FS Release technology basically guarantees up to 100% absorption of the product using this method of administration.

Of course, as a consumer, safety will always be a priority. GLUTAREDOX has already gone through all the processes of safety checks and has the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stamp of approval. “We really wanted to make sure to do all tests possible when it comes to safety. It was our main priority to get the FDA’s approval before we officially launched the product. We want our consumers to feel secure in what they are taking. To us, our consumers are everything” says Ms. Maureen Estrada, the managing partner of Oxina Nutricosmetics, the official exclusive distributor of GLUTAREDOX in the Philippines.

Ms. Luanne Dy, a host of popular GMA shows “Unang Hirit” and “Eat Bulaga” was selected to be the brand ambassadress of GLUTAREDOX, and with her glowing skin and energetic aura, it was a perfect fit. “We selected Luanne since she pretty much embodies what we want our brand to represent. The product energizes you and gives you healthy and glowing skin. We could not have picked a better person to represent the product” says Ms. Estrada.

GLUTAREDOX can now be purchased online via their official Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/glutaredoxph), Lazada, or via www.oxina.info. There are COD options in certain areas of Metro Manila and free shipping nationwide. As of writing, purchases may only be done online but there are plans to make the product available at local drug stores. For more information on GLUTAREDOX, you may visit www.oxina.info or call 372-2595.

Witch Hazel

This natural toner is also beneficial for acne-prone, since it helps to clean the pores without drying out the skin. To further customize this part of your skin care regimen, add a few drops of lavender oil to witch hazel to even your skin tone, tea tree oil to remove the bacteria from the skin that can cause acne, or rosewater to calm the skin and get rid of rashes or allergic reactions.

Coconut Water

Rose water, like all quality toners, helps to restore the pH balance of the skin as well, which keeps you from becoming too dry or too oily throughout the day.

Camphor 

A toner that contains camphor helps to bring balance to oily skin and is beneficial if you suffer from cystic acne. Camphor can also boost circulation which keeps your complexion vibrant and has antibacterial properties to safely remove impurities from your skin. You can find a toner that contains camphor to use daily, or create your own toner using camphor essential oil mixed with aloe juice or witch hazel to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin.

As you can see, there are plenty of ingredient options that you can turn to when you need to tone your skin and correct complexion issues after cleansing your face. Be sure to follow the toning step with a quality moisturizer to seal in the beneficial ingredients from the toner and keep your skin shielded from free radicals throughout the day.

Review: Ever Bilena Pink Eyeshadow Palette

Ever since I started using makeup I only use matte and neutral hues for my eyeshadow. However the more I see makeup tutorials with sparkly eyeshadows the more I want to get one! Since I don't really explore much with eye makeup and I am not very skilled with blending yet, I don't want to splurge. The usual price of a korean brand eyeshadow palette costs P700 above and my sister also keeps on reminding me that I still have a lot of eyeshadows at home .One thing is missing though- the shimmer eyeshadows! Mind you that I am not looking for the ordinary shimmer ones, what I want is the pearly type of shimmers which are similar to tear drop korean eye liner effect.

One blessed Saturday my co-worker and I checked an Ever Bilena kiosk in Watsons, I am not looking for anything but I luckily found Ever Bilena Pink Eyeshadow Palette.

What is it? 

Ever Bilena Pink Eyeshadow Palette

Packaging
The plastic case lets you see the eyeshadow colors inside. Its fab and expensive looking. I also like how they thoughtfully placed a small mirror inside. Very convenient!

Experience
Ever Bilena Pink Eyeshadow Palette's color selection is just brilliant. There are total of 6 colors in the pan. The palette is called 'pink' but fret not because the colors are wearable. The palette actually contains orange shades which is exactly what I was looking for. One swatch and I'm sold. Each pan simply looks fab when used together.

The eyeshadow is highly pigmented and buildable. Its lush, dramatic and attention grabbing when layered and can be perfect for evening parties. Its also smooth when applied. Its the exact type of luminous pearlized quality sparkles I am looking for. I really like it when the eyeshadow catches light, its just beautiful. Do not skip the primer especially if you're suffering from oily lids. This is not chalky and the vibrant highly pigmented colors are just pure love.

It does fade and transfers if you're the type who often touches their eyes but it doesn't crease on me though.

How much and where to buy?
Only P165 at your favorite Ever Bilena kiosks!

What I love

• The chunky shimmers!
• Shades are very wearable - perfect for a Christmas makeup look
• Doesn't break the bank
• Highly pigmented 
• Very blendable
• Affordable
• Convenient mirror inside the case!

What I don't

• Shimmers may fall off
• It doesn't last the whole day

Will I repurchase? 
Its in the realm of possibility but this will last long!

Overall~ 
The Ever Bilena Pink Eyeshadow Palette offers the glamorous shimmer eyeshadow without breaking the bank. It might not be the ultimate eyeshadow because it has a few hiccups but for the price, I can't complain! This is already a steal for P165! Kudos for continuously bringing quality products to the mass, here is a heart for a job well done Ever Bilena! <3
