A Bonne Spa Milk Salt


Net Weight: 380 grams
Price: Php55
Made in Thailand


I remember using this a couple of years back and I loved it! I fell in love with it again when I repurchased this. I really love the smell (smells like milk!). It removes dead skin cells and polishes my skin for a healthy glowing look! The best thing is, it's really cheap. 

Pros:
  • cheap
  • nice scent
  • effective skin polisher
  • whitens
Cons:  nothing :)

Also available in 380gram douch pack and 70gram sachet.

Overall: 5/5 stars

Nichido Foundation Stick


Shade: Beige
Net Weight: 9mL
Price: Php150
Made in the Philippines


This Foundation stick can also be used as a concealer. I got the Beige Shade which is a little dark and orangey on me. Because of that I'm just gonna use it as a concealer instead. It is a good foundation stick. Of course my T-zone's oily after a few hours but I just blot with powder and it's okay again. There is a light cosmetic scent but it doesn't bother me. There is no ingredients list here. For the price it is usable and alright. 



Pros:
  • affordable
  • offers sheer to medium coverage
  • no beakouts
Cons:
  • no spf
  • only available in 3 shades
  • oily after a few hours
Will I repurchase? Yes! but in another shade.

Avon Lovely In Pink by Sweet Honesty Collection


Hello! Today I'm gonna make a review of Avon's Lovely in Pink by Sweet Honesty Collection. This collection has an EDT, a skin softener, and a deodorant. This also has a purse concentre version but since I already got the EDT, I.ve decided to skip it.

Let's make a review of the EDT first :)


Net Volume: 50mL
Sale Price: Php399          Original Price: Php750
Made in the Philippines

"Glamorously feminine, 
Charming and lovely."

Ingredients: SD- Alcohol 40-B, Fragrance, Water, Cetrimonium Chloride, Ext. Violet 2

I was first drawn into this scent when it first came out a few years ago. It's a lovely scent perfect for everyday use. It last for about two hours or so which I think is okay enough considering it's price. 

>>Rating: 5/5 stars

And now the Skin softener:


Net Weight: 150grams
Sale Price: Php149          Original Price: 375
Made in the Philippines

Ingredients: Water, Mineral Oil, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Myristyl Myristate, Petrolatum, Propylene Glycol Stearate, Fragrance, PEG-40 Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Carbomer, Beeswax, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Choleth-24, Methylparaben, Ceteth-24, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA

This skin softener does wonders! I had this terrible allergy and even if I had prescription ointment, I took a risk to use this product on the dried allergy patches on my skin and it really made my skin soft and moisturized. It made the patches less itchy too! This product does contain Paraben, Mineral oil and petroleum but for me it's okay since it's a great skin lotion (this is too runny to be a body butter) and it's affordable. All Avon Skin Softeners have the same ingredients except for the scent. I have tried this in 2 other scents.

>>Rating: 5/5 stars

For my review on the deo:


Net Volume: 40mL
Sale Price: Php69           Original Price: Php140
Made in the Philippines

Ingredients: Water, Aluminum Chlorohydrate, Steareth-2, PPG-15 Stearyl Ether, Dicapryl Adipate, Fragrance, Steareth 20, Isopropyl Palmitate

This works like any other deodorants and antipersperants. The scent is the same as the other products in the collection. The only downside of this product is that it doesn't dry off quickly. This has the same ingredients as the other deodorants in Avon's other scent collections except for the scent.

>>Rating: 4/5 stars (1 star off because it doesn't dry off quickly)

All in all a great collection! See you in my next review. :)

Missha The Style 3D Mascara


Color: Black
Net Weight: 7 grams
Sale Price: Php171 + shipping fee         Original Price: Php190
Made in Korea



This is my very first Missha Product. I bought this thru eBay at 10% off. This is NOT waterproof. There's no ingredients list so I can only tell that there's no additional scent added. It smells like your regular mascara. The formula is quite thick and dry. Color is dark black. It doesn't make my lashes hard or brittle while wearing it. It just gives me soft black lashes. :)


The brush is a regular mascara brush. I would wanna try out the 4D version and compare the two. Hope I can have the other one in the future. :)



Pros:
  • affordable
  • does not clump
  • no falling eyelashes :)
Cons: nothing!

Rating: 4.5/5 for washable mascara category

Shijing Kimono Lip Balms


Net Weight: 2.4grams each
Price: Php20each
Made in China


Aren't these cute?! These have different scents and my favorite would be the green one- smells like chocolate! The only downside is that the ingredients aren't listed and the taste is a little bitter. But it does soften my lips and does not sting. They look cute on any dresser/train case!

Rate: 4/5 stars
