Review: Pax Moly Radiance Glow Cushion

Pax Moly Radiance Glow Cushion



Pax Moly Radiance Glow Cushion 
A multifunctional cushion that delivers a perfect blend of skincare with weightless coverage, plus brightens skin, giving it a naturally flawless finished look! 
It’s a long-lasting coverage with the following benefits: 

SUNBLOCK - with SPF50+ /PA++++ UVA+UVB
Conceals skin imperfection
Moisturizer / Foundation - formulated with hyaluronic acid & marine collagen extracts
Whitens skin for a beautiful and radiant complexion
Perfect primer!
BB and CC (Blemish Balm & Color Corrective formula) 

Available in the following shades:  
#21 Light Beige  
#23 Natural Beige 

Content: 15g 

For all skin types
How to use: 
1. Apply an appropriate amount on a puff and pat lightly over the face, and reapply small amount. 
2. Close the cap tightly in order to prevent the active ingredient and moisture.

The cushion puff had some fall outs!






Packaging
I really like their posh black compact and box. They also used a rose gold color to add the logo of Pax Moly. It looks really expensive at first glance. The expiry is clearly printed at the bottom. It features a mirror and the actual cushion has a foil cover too that guarantees the product freshness. The puff included is really soft too.

Experience
Like what I am always looking for in a face foundation and BB cream I want it to be in yellow undertone! The coverage is thick but it doesn't make me oil up that much. It definitely did a good job of hiding my pores. I like setting if off with loose powder to add to the flawless looking effect.

As you read above, the cushion puff somehow crumbled when I opened it again. It was the fault of ants that infested the actual cushion. Like, why? I am not really sure but the puff was still usable.

How much and where to buy?

P400 with Pax Moly Provincial and City Distributors nationwide

What I love

The black and rose gold color
Expensive-looking compact
Hides pores
Gives glow
Affordable
Lasts long
Yellow undertone


What I don't
You can't get it just about anywhere because it's not readily available in the usual beauty stores
Misfortune with the puff (though it was my fault)

Will I repurchase? 
I might but I just got a new batch of foundations I need to finish.

Overall~ 
Pax Moly Radiance Glow Cushion is a good buy, I recommend that you try it! The quality is really good and gives you the right glow for an affordable price.

Review: Vivid and Vogue Automatic Hair Curling Iron

Hair can always make or break a look. It doesn't matter how good the makeup is if the hair is not styled. To glam-up every look I really like a curly hairstyle. With that being said, I have been obsessed with hair curling irons. I really don't intend to add more but due to a repetitive ad I got myself a Vivid and Vogue Automatic Hair Curling Iron. 


What is it? 
Vivid and Vogue Automatic Hair Curling Iron from the name itself makes instant automatic curls. This brand is said to be from Taiwan. 


Packaging

It comes in a thick pink box. First thing lasts, it looks expensive as the box looks like an expensive product for me. The curling iron comes with an instruction manual (in chinese), 2 pink hair clips and a rat tail comb.

Experience
I seriously already have a functioning automatic hair curler already but I still bought Vivid and Vogue. This is because the other one I have is meant for short hair and I can't use it. I gave Vivid and Vogue hair curler a chance as the long iron seems like it will work wonders on my hair.

So I love the ease of using this curling iron and there is no need to do the manual twirling myself. There is some hair curling iron they call Kiss Instawave which they said to be similar to this one but it is expensive so it's great to gave an alternative. At first I had some difficulty in curling but after a few tries I got the hang of it. It was the easiest and fastest curling I have done ever! I was done in practically 20 minutes, whereas I will usually take 1 hour to finish as I have pretty thick hair.


How I use it?
1. Just gather an inch or so of your hair.
2. Insert the lower portion of your hair along the plastic stakes of the curler base.
3. Press one of the rotator, either clockwise or counter- clockwise and it will automatically gather and curl your hair towards the iron.
4. Hold for a couple of seconds (I leave mine for 20 seconds as my hair is chemically treated but you can use it longer based on your own best judgement.)
5. Slowly pull the curler downwards. 
6. Easiest curls, DONE!


How much and where to buy?

P300 from shopee


What I love

I can use it on my long hair
Automatic curls with just a click of a button
Affordable
Fastest and easiest curl I have done
Long lasting curls


What I don't

No temperature indicator. This is important as my hair is sometimes more sensitive than normal to heat when it's newly colored and I like adjusting the heat.

Overall~ 
I honestly love and recommend Vivid and Vogue Automatic Hair Curling Iron right now and I don't see myself using my other irons for a while. The ease of use is really something for me and I like how it heats fast too despite not having the temperature indicator. Hope it can last long on me!

What's your favorite curling iron? Have you tried Vivid and Vogue Automatic Hair Curling Iron? 


Vivid and Vogue Automatic Hair Curling Iron Video Review. 
For those who wants to see the Curling iron in action, plus a quick product unboxing too!

What I've watched from Netflix so far

Rainy days is usually the time when I indulge with Netflix. I have been given this account on a whim as I keep on asking boyfie to download random series before. Anyhow what have I been watching in Netflix lately you say?

My watch later list is getting longer and longer eh? However the naive me keeps on watching my favorite dramas on repeat!!

A love so beautiful
A Love so Beautiful
My ultimate favorite drama is this chinese drama. I think I have watched this like 5-6 times already and I still want to watch. I have related to the little girl's persevere love to her crush. I really love everything about this drama even the supporting cast are great and they have done a good job in adding color to the story.

I find this good read about the relationship of the 2 protagonist. I still love Jiang Chen nonetheless.


Love Alarm
Love Alarm
This drama will have it's 2nd season soon and and the story is based on a webtoon. I have fallen in love with Song Kang. He is just drop dead good looking. The plot takes place in an advanced time wherein you can use a phone app to know if someone is in love with you within a 10m radius.


My ID is Gangnam Beauty

I watched the first episode of this then stopped before watching it again to finish the whole series. I wasn't fond of the protagonist but the story line is cool. I like how the guy has chased the girl on this drama unlike the usual wherein the girl gives more attention. Cha Eun Woo of Astro looks so gorgeous AF too. 


He is Psychometric
He is Psychometric
This is an idol laden kdrama. The start had me by surprise as there was some murder going on and a very hideous one. The story revolved around Jinyoung who tries to find the hidden

King's Avatar
King's Avatar

Another intriguing chinese drama, and it includes Yangyang! I watched his earlier hit, Love 020 and this one didn't disappoint too. I like the whole story of how he recruited the best team mates and how he got back from playing after retiring out of his own will. And yes, Yangyang too looks so hot in this drama, as always.

Overall~ 
Okay! I know, I know. It is all in korean and chinese but hey! My list has Sponge bob Squarepants too and I also included american series like Once upon a time but I haven't gotten the chance to start watching it yet. The number of episodes puts me off. But Im'ma try this 2020! I got a lot of time for it too.

What I got from Lazada and Shopee 11.11 Sale

Hey guys and gals! I just want to drop by and say hello. I am not marked safe from the Lazada and Shopee 11.11 Sale sadly. Lol, but kidding aside I want to share what I got from the recent sale. There were so much discount vouchers and cashback that I cannot really spend the day without buying anything. Oh yes I am such an easy target for the big sales. The thing is, I am not even qualified for COD for the Shopee deliveries due to 2 returned parcels I had this month. **Sorry sellers!** I wasn't at home during the deliveries or I was sleeping.

I think I had a post about this before but before any online shopping I make sure to not just use a voucher or promo code but to also use Shopback. It's great because I get up to 30% cashback from shopping in Lazada, Shopee, Foodpanda and Booking.com which are sites that I frequently use. They even offer P100 sign-up bonus. Yay.



My Bottle Water Cup with pouch
An impulse buy, plastic is not so thick but for P50, I can't complain. IT has a free pouch which I find cute too.



Mini Led Light Air Humidifier

This is for an exchange gift. I hope the recipient will love using this! I included an essential oil in jasmine too.

Vivid and Vogue Automatic Curling Iron

Curiosity has caught the best of me again. Despite having a lot of hair irons I still got my own Vivid and Vogue curler. Video Review coming up soon.


Stainless Steel Thermos/Vacuum Bottle
More of an impulse buy too, but this seems pretty decent for the price. The gold color adds to the flair.


Egg Sitter Gel Flexible Support
I saw this being recommended in a freelancer group. I thought of giving this a try because it says it can ease back pain due to long sitting. It is very affordable and somehow I think it works. I don't get the body aches I often complain anymore. Cool. I also gave this out as a gift because I know it'll be something that they can really make use of.

Cuties Catz Cat Food

I got a kilo of my cat's favorite food for only P90 per kilo. My friend says this is already cheap, so me and my cats are thankful. The seller even allowed me to choose flavors. They have seafood, tuna and tuna/shrimp flavor.


Creamsilk Triple Keratin Rescue Conditioner
You know how much I love this hair conditioner. Now I can't literally live without it! My hair is so stiff when I don't use this baby. I availed them again in bulk both in gold and pink for scent variety. 



Realme XT
This was not part of my plan, but my boyfriend was eager for me to get a new unit. Yikes. This guy is bad for my budgeting endeavors. at first I want to purchase the Realme 5 Pro 8gb variant but they did not included it in the sale so I got this instead. It was the maximum sale price I can ever get because I used 2 vouchers! Lucky. 

Overall~ 
 I really have a lot of  stuff in my cart right now. This is bad as there is an upcoming 12.12 sale next. Shoot. Anyways, thank you or visiting my humble space in the world wide web. I really hope to update my Instagram often too. Do follow me at: @kvchien

What are you planning to buy on the next Lazada and Shopee sale? Share it with me in the comments!

Review: Pax Moly Dr Whitening Perfect Cream 2

Hello November! It's my birthday month, I haven't posted much and I'm struggling with a lot of things especially Youtube. I have filmed a few videos and I only need to edit it out. Now for today, I will be sharing my favorite whitening cream at the moment. It's Pax Moly Dr Whitening Perfect Cream 2. 

Pax Moly says:

Packaging

The product comes with a box. Inside is a plastic white tube with floral design and a golden cap. Ain't it lovely?! I love the blend of colors. 

Experience
Pax Moly Dr Whitening Perfect Cream 2 smells like a lightly scented cream. It looks like whipped cream. It is a not runny and the magic comes when you blend it in. It releases water droplets making the blending and cream absorption so much easier. It is like moisturizing and prepping the face all at once with the addition of sunblock properties, It also has pore blurring properties which is why I love it under make-up, I can also use it alone for no make-up days.

Dr. Whitening Perfect Cream 2 doesn't drip into the eyes like literally! I swam and it didn't hurt my eyes at all. I like how  it also turns into a watery texture which feels light and moisturizing for light not-so-cold days.

What I love

Very light-weight
Highly moisturizing
Water droplets that pops out while blending

Nothing I can mention

Will I repurchase? 
YES. I alternate this with the original Pax Moly Dr. Whitening.

1st time IPL at Pink Parlour PH

For the longest time I have always love sugar wax as opposed to plucking and shaving. I seemed to became more careless now as I have been plucking for a while ever since I have worked at home so I thought of how about I get rid of the under arm hair permanently? I thought of doing an IPL Hair removal.

What is IPL? 
Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a technology used by cosmetic and medical practitioners to perform various skin treatments for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes, including hair removal. 

For IPL treatments they say that it takes an average of 8–10 treatments to remove most visible hair. I am not sure how it will work on me so I want to get an affordable option. I have seen a facebook ad for IPL treatment from Pink Parlour PH.

Why choose Pink Parlour Alpha Light Permanent Hair Removal? 
1. It’s effective 
2. No more burns 
3. BYE, BYE ingrown hairs (chicken skin) 
4. Save time & money 
5. Lightens the targeted area 

You will notice hair falling off within 7 days to 3 weeks after the treatment, but hair reduction may not be noticeable as we all have many cycles of actively growing hair. An average person may require 3 to 5 session before noticing any hair reduction. 

Duration: 30 
Min Price:₱1,500.00 Inclusive of taxes



Experience
I have went to their SM North Branch and have set up an appointment at 10AM. I was actually a bit late due to the distance, I was not able to compute the travel time correctly. I came from the south to try their service.

There was a wee bit of waiting time. There is only one customer when I came. During the treatment you will be asked to take off your top and use a towel so they can do the IPL. Thye've applied a cold gel and then proceeded in using their IPL device. It was warm and and all, not really tingly. There was no provided protective glasses so I assume that it is not needed. 

The attendant is a bit chatty and wants to upsell on their other underam treatments. It was really all good until I realized that the total treatment time lasted for only 14 minutes. One underarm was for 9 minutes then the other for 5 minutes. The whole underarm wasn't even fully treated with the IPL light. There was some parts missed. 


How much and where to buy?
I got for P1500 in one of their Facebook ads buy 1 take 1 promo

Overall~ 
With all fairness with the treatment, I noticed hair didn't grow for about a week. I didn't experienced any hair falling from my underarms, I think that happens if I do the treatment for a couple more times. I honestly felt like I could have done it better if I was at home and got my own device. I wasn't satisfied with how long they did the treatment. I woke up real early to avail and yet I wasn't overall satisfied with it. My place is actually far from SM North so I think I won't be going for the 2nd IPL Treatment although I have already paid for it. It is just not worth the hassle.

For now I might go back to cold wax as it is more affordable and so far it works. I want to stop plucking as my armpit is getting a bit darker than before. I will also add an IPL at home device as my goal for next year.

Review: Pax Moly Aloe Vera 99% Moisture Mist

What is one product that can get you through the summer and winter? It's one of the usual skincare products that koreans love? Yes it is face mists! For the longest time I am eyeing to buy face mist but never had the chance to. My very first face mist now is Pax Moly Aloe Vera 99% Moisture Mist.

What is it? 

This Aloe Vera Moisture Mist with 99% Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice is a spray mist that moisturizes and protects the skin against the harmful environment. It definitely hydrates and protects the skin leaving skin perfectly moisturize. It can be used on the face, arms, and legs.

1. Spray frequently to moisturize dry skin or to protect the skin from the harmful environment.  
2. When using on the face, spray 10-15cm away.

CAUTIONS:

1. For external use only.  
2. Avoid contact with eyes.  
3. Discontinue use if signs of irritation or rashes appear.  
4. Keep out of reach of children.  
5. Replace the cap after use.

Packaging
Green spritz plastic bottle with a plastic cap. It is a bit bulky for my liking but I can also transfer it to a small spritz bottle in case I need a smaller version of it. Expiration date is clearly printed on the bottom and the ingredients are in english and stated on the bottle too.


Experience
I love how affordable and convenient Pax Moly Aloe Vera 99% Moisture Mist is. You can't go wrong with the ingredients as it is 99% aloe vera! I can practically use it on the summer and cold months. Summer to freshen up then spritz on the cold months to add extra moisture even when I am on the go! I can imagine using this if in case I am in a well air-conditioned office to fight skin dryness and all.


What I love

It's 99% Aloe Vera
Gentle and hydrating
Can be used on both summer and cold seasons
Can set up my makeup
Doesn't irritate my skin

What I don't

Not readily available in the stores
Bottle is a bit bulky for me

How much and where to buy?
P250 for 150ml available with Pax Moly distributors nationwide, mostly online based

Will I repurchase? 
I might, but I would like to try the cute mist from Tony Moly. I am just not sure if it is still available.

Overall~ 
Pax Moly Aloe Vera Mist does the job and it is affordable too. Price and quality wise, this is a good buy. I recommend you to try it too.

Do you have any products or brand that you want me to try or review? If you have any questions do not hesitate to leave a comment below and I'll try to reply back. If you are also using another brand of face mist then you may share it with us too.
~o

Hey ya'll I have watched Love Alarm, it is a really good web drama from Netflix. If you are looking for a fast phase yet not draggy type of drama that simply delivers then go for it. I am head over heels with the lead male character, Song Kang. The story revolves around a popular dating app called Love Alarm that sends notifications to the person (or people) you like whenever you’re within 10 meters of them. Now isn't that fascinating? Watch and see how the story unfolds for the leads.

Galderma Retacnyl Tretinoin Cream .05% for Acne Treatment

Do you still remember the timer when I shared with you the prescription drugs I got from my derma? Besides that, I also got a prescription for a topical solution and that is the Galderma Retacnyl Tretinoin Cream .05%. At first, I am not really aware of what is it so I made some research.



What is it? 
Retacnyl Tretinoin is used to treat acne. It may decrease the number and severity of acne pimples and promote quick healing of pimples that do develop. Tretinoin belongs to a class of medications called retinoids. It works by affecting the growth of skin cells. Credits to: Webmd

How to use:
The tretinoin must be used on a clean face and thinly applied with clean fingertips.

Experience:
My dermatologist said that during the first few weeks of using Galderma Retacnyl Tretinoin Cream .05%, my acne will appear worse because of not just the capsules I take but also because of the cream that works on pimples forming inside the skin. It is said that it might take up to 8-12 weeks to notice the results of the medication.

Besides being given the warning, I was still in panic when all of the breakouts came after a week of using it. It is so severe and my skin was at it's worst. I can't even bear to post a picture. I risked to put on more of the cream which made it even worst than before. My skin micro-peeled, there was also more redness and pain. It can't be covered by makeup anymore too and I don't want to come to work looking like it. I stopped using the cream and waited for my skin to heal.

The cream does work in drying out acne fast especially the red big ones but because of that it also leaves dark marks. It made my skin really dry. I went back to the derma wherein I was prescribed another batch of capsules and was advised to continue the cream 'in moderation'.

How much?
P1,280 for a 30g big tube which can last for more than a month. This is a prescripted cream so you will need to consult a dermatologist if you want to buy one.

Overall~ 
I think this cream works somehow in drying out acne but my breakout still won't stop even after taking almost a year of taking anti-acne capsules. I don't want to risk myself anymore because both of the cream and capsules contain really potent ingredients. This still might be an option or something that can work for somebody else, but it's not really for me. Not to mention these are expensive.

I am sharing my experience for the people who might have been prescribed Retacnyl Tretinoin Cream and wants to know what to expect from it. If you have any questions just let me know in the comments.

Life Updates: White Skin, New Hair Color & Fave Streamers

Hi guys it's the end of the week right here. I am still amazed on how time flies so fast and it's nearing October! Just thought of giving a bit of an update with this post.

New hair color!
I finally got tired of my blonde turned pink locks and I dyed it purple! In case you see entries or blonde hair vlogs then it is definitely something from my backlog haha.

Did a splurge shopping!
I normally just go with what is cheap and affordable but last weekend I cannot help but buy this set of top and shorts. It isn't like I don't have something similar but it just caught my eye somehow. Goodbye to my hard earned cash, this was from Surplus. The top is from Forever21 but I forgot the brand of the shorts.


New line of skincare from Minjun's Philippines: White Skin
Minjun's Philippines is the official distributor of Pax Moly Korean skin care products. Now they made their very first local brand line called White Skin. I ordered my first set as I am real curious on the promised 3 days effect. The skincare line is based mostly on glutathione and collagen.
It's basically a whitening set and it comes with a bleaching soap, toner, serum, cream and lotion. I am praying real hard that hopefully if this is effective they can do some line for anti-acne as well, yes?

Weekend Plans
I will be with my fam this weekend but my dad is sick so I am not sure if we can still go out and celebrate my sister's birthday. And oh, we lost 2 kittens as mentioned by my younger brother. 🙁

I might still do something else on Monday too.

Watch my Fave streamers!
I have also started playing Mobile Legends Bang Bang. I even recorded my 60th day brawl to commemorate but I've decided not to post it. The game really stresses me out so instead of playing I watch game streamers. My favorite is BobongGamer. Do watch his live stream, he can make his audience laugh, that is why his audience is so engage in watching daily even without any skin or diamond give aways.

If you want a pro-player livestream, tips and tricks you may want to try RollerGaming instead.

Overall~ 
That is about it! I really do hope to get more subs in my Youtube by the way but I can't find the time to edit my videos. I got a couple pending now haha. Anyway do share your plans for the weekend, Happy Friday everyone!

Review: Skin Potions Set of Tomato Serum, Acne Pie Soap and Snowberry Cream

I found this sampler set from Shopee. You know I have tried a lot of products and not every product will work good so to avoid wasting money I opted to buy a sampler kit. I can attest that she is legit because she also sells authentic full-sized products. I really like the whole concept of this all-natural and cute beauty brand. Look at how adorable they did their website too.

About the brand:
Skin Potions offers organic and natural based products which was often available in bazaars and collaboration stores. Right now they also have kiosks at SM Supermalls too. Skin Potions offers a selection of innovative, high quality skincare and cosmetic products at affordable prices in whimsical packaging that’s guaranteed to work their magic for your skin!

Packaging
I can't say much about the packaging coz this was a repackaged product but the original packaging of Skin Potions is very cute! They have cartoon-style labels I really adore.

Skin Potions Set of Tomato Serum, Acne Pie Soap and Snowberry Cream 

P250/140g
Shoo away those eeky acne with this sweet treat! It mildly whisks away dead skin cells, irritation and redness, heals and dries up your acne, bacne and pimples in no time. Leaving a soft and moist glow behind. 😍

Review: The soap has this round circles design on it, it reminds me of a honey comb and a bubble wrap. I am not sure why but this photo on their website doesn't show the design, but I swear they have it! The soap doesn't melt easily and it's foamy. It doesn't make my skin dry and it cleanses well too. The scent is not over-powering.

Review: I am aloof to try tomato-based products because I find that I am a bit allergic to it but I took the plunge. I like the sweet scent of this serum but it doesn't smell like a tomato. Is there even a tomato scent? 

Price: P465/ 50g
This all-in-one cream fights and heal acne, lightens dark spots, hyperpigmentation, insect bites and even stretch marks! It can also be used as a make up primer, pore filler and pore minimizer while it gives the skin a nice matte finish. This cream is definitely what dreams are made of!
Ingredients: Papaya Extract, Bearberry Extract, Licorice Extract, Snail Filtrate, Whitenol Extract, Acerola Cherry Extract, Ruce Bran Oil, Titanium Dioxide and Essential Oils

Review: This cream smells so sweet like strawberry and I love it. The cream is very thick so you need to blend it well for it to be absorbed. It minimizes my pores and brightens up my skin tone. It does make my skin oil up a bit after a while though but it's fine.

How to use:
1. Create lather of Acne Pie soap onto hands by adding water. Spread the lather gently unto the skin. Rinse and pat dry.
2. Apply a thin layer of Tomato serum, massage onto face gently and leave it for two minutes before applying Strawberry cream.

What I love
I was able to try the products before buying the full-sized!


What I don't

Tomato serum broke me out somehow

Will I repurchase? 
I want to buy a full-sized Snowberry Cream!

Overall~ 
I've used this set for a month but I still get breakouts. I first tried using the soap first and it was okay but I got breakouts when I added the Tomato serum. I had no problems with the Strawberry cream though, it's a really good moisturizer. Skin Potions Set of Tomato Serum, Acne Pie Soap and Snowberry Cream is a good skincare set as it's all natural but effect varies from one person to another. You can still try this set and see for yourself it it's a good fit. Let me know in the comments how it went for you!
