At some point in our lives, we have experienced having acne, and it’s the worst! Getting rid of acne is another story because there’s a lot of trial and error with acne treatments that work for our skin. My acne horror story was when I got an allergy from a facial I availed in one of the facial centers in the mall. It’s really horrifying for me because I had clear skin since adolescent years and suddenly had acne at my early 20s. I tried various over-the-counter products and my last resort was to consult another dermatologist at an expensive clinic. She gave me a beauty kit along with regular facials and voila, clear skin again. But I have to shell out a significant amount of money before achieving results. Later on, I found out from an officemate who’s also having break outs that she’s using Proactiv to solve her skin problem. She’s very proud to say that Proactiv is very popular among Hollywood celebrities like Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, Avril Lavigne, etc…

New Proactiv

I took note of Proactiv and has been under my radar just in case I experience breakouts again. While browsing through Watsons, I just noticed that there’s a New Proactiv available at Watsons. The New Proactiv now contains advanced microcrystal benzoyl peroxide, which is designed to work faster and gentler.

I’m not crazy about lipsticks and I can live with just one lipstick for a year, heck, I often find out that lipsticks in my kikay kit are expired already. But because of my dry lips, lip balms and lip tints are my bestfriends. Now for my latest discovery, Mentholatum Lip Ice Sheer Color Fragrance-Free that I got in Sasa Hong Kong, but they’re also available in Watsons for Php 145.

Mentholatum Lip Ice Sheer Color, Php 145

From the packaging:

- Changes color to a natural sheer pink according to individual lips.
- A gentle Beeswax formulation suitable even for very sensitive skin.
- Contains natural ingredients of Shea Butter Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Nut Oil, Jojoba Oil and Aloe Extract to keep lips moisturized, smooth, and healthy.
- Contains effective anti-oxidants of Vitamin E to soften and protect lips against the harmful environment.

Mentholatum Lip Ice Sheer Color

It was love at first swipe! It gave an adorable sheer pink color to my lips, God knows how long I searched for that perfect pink color for my dark lips. It glides on lips effortlessly, and the slim tube is very handy. After a few hours and few applications, it doesn’t leave a waxy feeling on the lips and no whitish substance on the inner part of the lips. For the moisturizing factor, it does its job well in keeping chapped lips at bay. Staying power is limited though, but you can reapply plenty of times, reapplication also increases the lip color.

Notice the healthy shine on my lips? I’m sure this Mentholatum Lip Ice Sheer Color will even look great for fair-skinned ladies. This product beats Smashbox O-Gloss anytime with its very affordable price. I’m looking forward in trying other Lip Ice variants available, what do you recommend ladies?

I’m on an anything-beauty-related-buying-mode lately, blame it to Etude House hehe. I don’t hoard make-ups though, more on skin care like facial masks, organic soaps, BB creams, hair products and also perfumes and fragrances. A recent visit to Watsons at Mall of Asia made me discover that there are already a lot of facial masks available, mostly made from Korea, this is facial lovin’.

The most talked about brand in Femalenetwork.com is Purederm so I looked for the Strawberry Yogurt Pack, unfortunately they don’t have stocks. I decided to sample other sheet masks and wash-off masks also from Purederm.
