"Formulated with Advanced Brightening Complex, pearl powder and precious Marula oil, provde immediate radiant fair skin, revealing a white and younger looking skin."
Before anything else is it just me or do you also think that the name is too long? LOL. This is part of my Avon loot (remember the shampoo?) from my tita.
I actually bought two variants. The other one is for deep moisture and this one is for whitening: Avon Skin so soft: Soft and White Radiant Glow Whitening Hand and Body Lotion + Marula. I purchase this lotion because I need a mild whitening lotion. I just used green peeling oil on my legs and bleaching lotion is kinda harsh for new skin.
I was captivated by the scent of this lotion. It smells heavenly for me. Some might find the scent overpowering but I just like it the way it is. The scent stays long, I applied at night and I can still smell the lotion when I wake up in the morning! The lotion is not sticky and is quickly absorbed by my skin. With just 3 days of usage I noticed that it lived up to its claims of 'radiant glow'. I can't comment on the whitening effects yet though, maybe I need to finish a few more bottles *wink*.
PROS:
Smells so good!
Not sticky
Cheap less than Php150 per 250 ml bottle
CONS:
For the price and quality? None.
Will I buy again? I want to try other lotions may it be for whitening or extra moisture, but since since Avon lotions are so affordable then there is no reason not to say yes.
How about you sweeties? What's your favorite whitening lotion? Feel free to comment down below! :)
I just realized that it's raining. I really don't like the rain, it gives me headache. I am trying to post more often here, my domain and hosting is nearing its expiration again. I don't want to waste my web space. ;)
Out of the topic I found this romantic and cute music video made for Adam Sandler's short version of Grow old with you.
I am loving too much love stories lately...
Mornings: Ooh lala couple, Please be careful with my heart
Noon: Rooftop Prince, Smile Donghae
Night: The Greatest Love
PS: There are a lot of searches for the 'The Greatest Love' theme song -Dugong Dugong. We are so much in love with it ne?
I have been sleeping late for weeks now and there is a new reason for this! The Greatest Love is already airing on GMA 7 and the story is something I don't want to miss!
Anyone here who loves the theme song? Well I do. The song is super easy to like as the music is catchy. The song turns out to be the tagalog version of Sunny Hill's: Thump Thump (also called Pit a Pat) and the title is 'Dugong dugong' which describes the sound of a heartbeat not 'dumudugu-dugong' or something concerned with bleeding like I first imagined. Hoho~.
The singer for Dugong Dugong was Rita Iringan, the winner in Pop Star Kids (as mentioned by mom). At first I thought the singer was Julie Ann San Jose because she already sang the OST.
I read that GMA will not release the official music for the tagalog version until the demo versions of the song are removed from youtube. Anyway off to the drama again, Groove Ent made a National Treasure Girls 10th Anniversary Album which serves as the drama's soundtrack album:
"The special album package includes a 5-track CD, a drama story booklet, a four-leaf clover cell phone display cleaner, a small ‘Dok Go Jin’ and ‘Goo Ae Jung’ notepad, stickers, and autographed postcards. Source: Newsen via Nate" <--- I want one! XD
I was so curious on how the actresses of The Greatest Love pulled-off the whole routine of their dance and I found this, the music video of the National Treasure Girls:
By the way all of my facts are from King Google, lyrics is already all over the net so I'm not sure who to credit. Anyway here is the lyrics for "Dugong Dugong". My family has been too LSS with the song. OMG~ XD
I'm a Colin fan girl, he is so sweet. Would you agree? It's not often that the guy will fall in love first in a story. Hoho~
Dugong Dugong (The Greatest Love OST) Tagalog version of Sunny Hill's Thump Thump by: Rita Iringan LYRICS:
Hindi magkasundo Nung una tayong magtagpo Nag-aasaran pa, parang aso’t pusa Inis sa isa’t isa
Biglang nagbago May kung anong naramdaman Kung di ka kapiling tila mababaliw Nais kang makita
Ikaw ay mahalaga sa kin Sa iyo kinikilig ako Habang lumalapit Lalo sa iyong nagkakagusto
At nang dahil sa iyo Puso’y dumu-dugong, dugong Sigaw ng puso kong ito Tanging ikaw ang minamahal ko Labi ko’y nanginginig man Masdan mo sarado kong mga mata Pangarap ko’y ikaw ang Unang makayakap ko Nakatingin sayo Nagkunwaring natutulog lang Naramdaman ko pintig ng puso mo Ay higit pa sa kaba ko
Nais mang ibigin di magawa Ikaw ang aking sinisinta Ika'y nagiisang Mahalagang bagay sa mundo
At nang dahil sa iyo Puso’y dumu-dugong dugong Sigaw ng puso kong ito Tanging ikaw ang minamahal ko Labi ko’y nanginginig man Masdan mo sarado kong mga mata Pangarap ko’y ikaw ang Unang makayakap ko
Akala ko rin naman Na ako ay gusto mo rin Ang busilak na pagibig Nakaukit sa aking puso
At nang dahil sa iyo Puso’y dumu-dugong, dugong Sigaw ng puso kong ito Tanging ikaw ang minamahal ko Labi ko’y nanginginig man Masdan mo sarado kong mga mata Pangarap ko’y ikaw ang Unang maka...yakap ko
No wonder that The Greatest Love will be a hit in the Philippines. The story is funny yet sweet and romantic. How about you ladies, do you also watch "The Greatest Love?"
Hello lovelies! How's your Valentines? As for me I spent the day making pink ribbons! Sigh~ I love pink! It's not really an exciting way to spend the day eh?
For today I will be talking about the newest eyeliner I purchased. I have always liked sparkly stuffs that's I really adore glittery/shimmery/sparkly make-ups! My love for shimmers even grew more because of watching korean eye make-up tutorials. I have been keeping an eye on tear drop liners but since its always OOS then I have decided to look for an alternative.
Shawill Pretty Color Eyeliner 01
A rich colour liquid eye liner that combines long-lasting wear with a non-smudge, non-flake precision line. Goes on effortlessly. Applies with its own brush to draw a perfectly defined line. Available in a wide range of classic and trend shades.
I was like a jumping rabbit when I've seen this liner. I love the glitters! Some people though might not like the chunky glitters because its far from the usual look of teardrop liners.
Shawill Pretty Color Eyeliner looks better in person than in photos because it doesn't show much in pics. I use this on my lower waterline in place of tear drop liners. The shade is in numbers only, mine is in 01. 01 has colorful glitters and a clear base.
I use this liner in school and it stays the whole day! Hooray! :D
Price: 8ml for Php98
Where to buy? Shawill counters at Watsons
PROS
Has pretty micro glitters!
Colorless base. Perfect for neutral looks.
Stays the whole day for me
Affordable
CONS
Not too visible on photos
When worn for more than half a day the liner flakes
Will I buy again?
No. I want to try other glitter liners from other brands like Etude House. I am so curious on the difference of Tear drop liners to normal glitter liners.
Summer is coming and I am getting excited! Sorry for the lack of updates. I am so busy because of school, work and family. Anyway what I will be reviewing today is a shampoo from Avon. I got this product from my last purchase of Avon products.
Avon Naturals Mango and Ginger Energizing 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner says:
Formulated with mango and ginger extracts, this 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner effectively cleanses and maintains hair's moisture balance. Helps nourish, revitalize and condition hair from root to tip as it removes everyday build-up and styling residue. Leaves hair feeling silky soft and looking healthy from the first wash.
My review: Okay so I bought this simply because its mango! I love the mango scent however this shampoo failed me. The shampoo smells like candies instead of mango or ginger. Not bad, but not what I am expecting.
The price: 200 ml for Php 99 = Affordable! I got this on sale but even the regular price which is still less than 200 is fine. So YEY! for that.
The effect: I have coarse, dry, wavy hair but after one wash my hair is obviously straighter and tamed. I am pleased, its a good effect not stated in the product description so I'm happy! Its not soft though but I really do not expect my hair to be soft with a 2-in-1 product that you should still use your favorite conditioner.
PROS
Straightened and tamed my hair.
Doesn't have parabens because its Natural! xD
Cheap!
CONS
Smells good like candies but not mangoes.
Not readily available in malls or Watsons.
Will I buy again? This product is great because it tamed my frizzy hair and made it look straighter which I didn't expect. I love this and will surely grab extra bottles.
