Butter up at Beauty and Butter

February 17th, 2010 by hbgeek | 3 Comments | Filed in Skin care

Don’t you just love facials? Count me in, 2 years ago, I was plagued with severe acne because of allergic reactions but good thing, a few trips to Dermclinic cleared my skin. Facials from Dermclinic involves pricking which I always wanted to skip. i just love the massage and masks part during facials. Beauty & Butter heard my plea when I had my facial at their Megamall branch.

Choosing the right BB cream

September 30th, 2009 by hbgeek | 4 Comments | Filed in Beauty products, Skin care

With so many BB creams (Blemish Balm creams) out there, it’s difficult to choose the right BB cream that’s perfect for your skin and needs. I ordered different BB cream samples too but like many other BB cream fanatics, I have yet to try other brands to see what’s best for my skin. In Korea, consumers are lucky because Korean stores are generous on giving samples so they don’t have to spend in trying out products. Here in the Philippines, those samples are sell for Php 50-Php 200 pesos but it’s better than buying the whole tube which costs a little over a thousand. My fave seller of BB creams from Multiply, Trinketi, made a chart that can help you choose the BB cream that’s right for your skin. It’s very helpful that I have to ask permission from her to repost this in my blog. Please click the photos for larger view.

Cyleina Organic Soaps – a review

August 11th, 2009 by hbgeek | 4 Comments | Filed in Beauty product reviews, Go Organic, Skin care

Cyleina Organic Soaps has been popular in many online forums like Girltalk and Teentalk for almost 2 years now. The soaps are lovingly handmade and uses organic ingredients and pure essential oils to make the skin soft and moisturized. Perhaps, the reasons why Cyleina Organic Soaps are popular is because it’s affordable and effective. I tried other organic soap brands that are priced at Php 100 or more, but after a few uses, I can’t finish the whole bar because it already melted on my soapdish. With Cyleina, I can still use the soap and gives enough lather even until it’s just the size of a pea. There are so many varieties to choose from so it’s unlikely for you not to find one that suits your skin best. For only Php 60 per bar, you can try them all until you find the best soaps for you.

Let me share my fave variants of Cyleina Organic Soaps:
