Saladbox May-June 2016 Box (Delivery Issues)

The Saladbox is the subscription box that I subscribed for 3 months. (Link)

I received an email regarding their Deliery Update & Schedule Adjustment (Link)

In Case the link will not be available i the future, here is a screenshot of their adjusted schedule.

I am writing this today June 27, 2016 because, I haven't receive my May-June 2016 box yet. I am already worried if they forgot to send me one. I message them on their IG, FB & email.

I message them on their:
IG - June 21
FB - June 22
Email - June 23

I got all replies on June 24 the reply from IG & FB states that I should email them so that their Discovery Consultant can track it.

Here is the reply from their Discovery Consultant

I hope that they will really send out the box immediately, since they state to expect in the next few working days.

I just can't figure out why would be my address is unlocated or no one is answering the door. I just got my Althea & Glamourbox delivered at my doorstep. So, why? why? why? and some couriers call or text me first if I will be available to receive my item. I just find this kinda lame excuse.

Yes, I know they are doing their best to keep up their delivery of products, to give us their customers the service they promised but, I know they do have some flaws which you cannot prevent. Just hoping that they can deliver all their boxes already because it is already July in a while and the next box will be up soon. Then it will be another pile up again of their deliveries.

Will update this, if ever I received my box.

Update: July 5, 2016
I e-mailed them asking if I will be receiving 2 boxes since I haven't received my May-June box and the July box is up already. And good thing they replied within the same day. Here is there reply.

UPDATE: July 11, 2016
YES! I finally received my 2 boxes. Will be doing a separate post for the boxes.

Maxi Peel - Day 10

I started using MaxiPeel to try if it will really works for me.

My Morning & Night Regimen (Link)

This is my Day10 of using the products. I only use all the products of MaxiPeel to prevent any damage that may not compliment with their products (or something like that).

I did their patch test because, I have a super sensitive skin and I do not want my face to be totally ruined (hehehe). It states / recommend to have a patch test and see for 48hrs if it will have any allergic reactions.

I don't normally get that lots of pimple on my cheeks except my forehead.

They do state that pimple/s will appear while it is under the cleaning process of using MaxiPeel so, I am not worried that I have a lot of that right now. Regarding the peeling, I am not experiencing it yet (so far). Just the redness and the pimple breakout.

I am hoping for the best in using this product. That it will help in clearing out my pimples and make my skin flawless ( ^_^ ).

Morning & Night Regimen (Maxi Peel)

I follow their recommended regimen, I am using the ff.:

MORNING
1. Facial Wah
2. Sunblock

EVENING
1. Facial Wash
2. Exfoliant Solution #2 (1-2 drops ONLY & wait for 15mins before applying the moisturizer)
3. Moisturizing Cream

All the products mentioned are all Maxi Peel.

Exfoliant Solution:
#1 (MILD) 1-5 pimples on one side of the face
#2 (MODERATE) 6-10 pimples on one side of the face
#3 (SEVERE) 11 or more pimples on one side of the face.

If you want to know more about their products, you may visit their Facebook Page.

NOTE: I use Maxi Peel Concealing Cream (Natural) to cover up my redness if I need to go out.

OFRA x Manny MUA - Aries (First Impression + Swatch & Review)

I finally got my hands on one of the OFRA x Manny MUA liquid lipsticks. I was planning on buying the shade  Charmed but it was out of stock. But, still I like this shade.

Just my thoughts regarding this product:

PACKAGING:
Simple but, kinda classy. The handle of the brush is a black metallic look.

APPLICATOR:
The one that is commonly used on the liquid lipsticks. The sponge like slant one.

SMELL:
For me the smell reminds me of a sweet candy. It reminds me of the Alpenliebe Caramel & Cream Candy (hope someone besides me know this candy).

FORMULA:
It drys immediately when applied, it is pigmented one swipe will do. Some light colored lipsticks needs to re-apply to get the color / some parts of the lips are not fully covered causing it to look uneven. It does not feel sticky on the lips, does not dry my lips but, not kiss proof (just a reminder).

SHADE:
Perfect for a simple, nude color with a hint of coral.

LONG LASTING?
Yes, it is  long lasting as long as you do not eat a burger or any oily food. But, I like the part that it leaves a bit of stain.

RE-APPLICATION:
When re-applying the lipstick, it does not get sticky and does not dry my lips. Some I find it sticky even if I blot it with tissue or something. And the worst it drys up my lips and skin starts to show (who would like to see a lips with a look of ripping skin on it)

OFRA x Manny MUA - Aries

I bought this at Glamourbox for Pp850.00

Swatch on my lips & back of the hand (my skin is in a shade of fair/light)

Did I mention I am a fan of Manny MUA, just letting you know (hehehe, wink).

My rate overall: 4.5/5

Revlon Colorbust & POP Crayon (Swatch & Review)

Today I received a package and I got a freebie which is the POP - Pouty Pop Crayon in shade Coral Crush. (Package Blog)

I was excited to try on this POP crayon because I haven't tried any of their brands yet. And I notice that it's kinda same of the shade of the Revlon Colorburst 120. In the swatch that I will show you will see the difference that the POP crayon is on the orange side which is (yeah! Coral) stated in the shade that it is Coral Crush. But, on the lips you cannot tell the big difference in a glance.

The Lip Products

The Swatche/s (at the back of my hand)

The Swatche/s (on my lips)

NOTE: I did not rub my lips to prevent them from mixing up the colors.

If you are under the light, you will see that the Revlon is more intense which is suppose to be because, it is in the dark pinkish shade compare to POP which is on the coral shade.

Revlon has a peppermint feeling on the lips, it feels like you just ate a menthol.

Overall for me, they are pretty much the same formula. It is not long wearing so better do you lipstick hacks on how to prolong those lipsticks. And did I say that they are glossy.

I will surely be trying out some of the POP cosmetics, soon.

As for Revlon, I just tried their colorburst and the matte lipstick.

I ordered my items on June 19, 2016(Sunday) and I received them today June 21, 2016(Tuesday). I was not expecting my package to be delivered that fast. I usually get them on the 2nd to 3rd day. And the delivery man from XEND is super nice, I was ashamed that i gave him a wrong direction because he came from the other side which, I am not that used to in pointing direction. I said to go right on the 2nd block but, I forgot we are on the 3rd block.


Okey, back to the package.........

Here is my package

I got two bundle of items that is super secured with bubble wraps. (Thumbs Up)

I ordered:

Ofra Manny MUA Liquid Lipstick : Aries (Php850)

PIXI - Makeup Fixing Mist (Php975)

I opened first the small one which I think is the Ofra, and then it was the Pop crayon. I was about to cry (overreacting, haha!) and then.... OH YEAH, on the other wrap! (Silly me!)

I was so happy that they gave me a freebie, I am just a simple person that really appreciates anything. The card is also a thoughtful thing, not all online shops does that (right?)

Maybelline - Color Sensational Creamy Matte (First Impression + Swatch & Review)

Maybelline Color Sensational Matte in shades Touch of Spice and Divine Wine. These two shades are the best sellers here in the Philippines. These two shades are in trend on social media, so I decided to try them out.

Price: Php299.00

Swatches

Touch of Spice

This shade is good for a go to everyday makeup look. It is a nude pinkish color, for my skin color it looks like it is a natural rosy healthy looking lips. It is really creamy and it is light weight on the lips. This is not a long wearing lipstick.

Divine Wine

This shade would be a good match if you are for achieving for a vampy look. I say this will go for a night party party! But, watch out (if you will be drinking/eating) because this one is dark and this is not a long wearing lipstick so, you need to check your lips from time to time because, it fades in the inner part and it does not look good.

If you have tricks on how to maintain your lipstick and really stick it on your lips all day then that will be NICE.

The scent of the lipstick smells like a powdery scent. It is not over powering if you are not a fan of scented lipsticks. But, if you accidentally lick your lips with the lipstick on, you will definitely taste the powdery scent like thingy.

Touch of Spice

Shade: 5/5

Scent: 4/5

Price: 5/5

Formula: 4/5

Divine Wine:

Shade: 3/5

Scent: 4/5

Price: 5/5

Formula: 4/5

For the month of April 2016, this is their box content

Fresh Start Box c/o VMV Hypoallergenics

Contents

The box content worth a total of Php3,585.00
which is a SUPER DUPER BIG SAVINGS right?

MY THOUGHTS REGARDING THE PRODUCTS:

The superskin-starts-here cleanser that I got is for dry skin. They do send random stuffs, I wish they will also have a special options when you subscribe of what type of skin do you have every time they have a product that has skin types on it. But, just a thought I do not know how they contribute products.

For the cleanser, it felt soft on my skin. I also liked their toner, it really cleanse the face. I just have small issues on the moisturizer since it is for dry skin, my face gets really oily.

For their Armada Sunscreen 70 Deluxe, I SUPER LOVED it. It feels good on the skin, it does not make my face oily and it is light on my face. I have experience with some sunblocks that are heavy on my fave and it makes my face super oily that I look like I went for a jog or something.

Will I purchase it after testing? Yes. Specially their Armada sunscreen

I will try their facial set for the oily skin.

My rate for the facial set will be: 3/5

My rate for the Armada sunscreen will be: 5/5

VMV - Velvet Matte Lipstick x SaladBox (First Impression + Swatch & Review)

I got this VMV Hypoallergenics Velvet Matte Lipstick from my SaladBox Subscription for their month of April 2016.

SaladBox Subscription is a BOMB! For the 3 months subscription you only pay Php500.00 but the contents worth are somewhere Php2,500.00++
Link of their website: SaladBox

Just my thought on the VMV Velvet Matte Lipstick (I'm no expert on this, so don't give so much attention if you do not LIKE this).

I got the shade called Dame

Here the swatch on me: (I have a fair complexion)

My thoughts:

1. I find it powdery texture, I don't know why but, I tried different matte lipsticks like maybelline but it does not have a powdery texture.

2. I like the color, it is like a good shade for a go to. A nude shade with a bit of orange / pinkish color (not good in describing colors).

3. It is not long wearing.

4. I like the packaging of the lipstick and it has an expiration date on it, which is a good thing if you keep the box you will not forget it's expiry (sadly I throw mine).

5. It make my lips flaky (as seen in the picture) I did have a lip balm before that and it still flakes on my lips.

6. The price according to their site is somewhere Php1,000.00+

Will I buy it after testing? No,maybe. I can't say yet. And I do restrain myself from buying lipsticks that are Php600+ / per piece.

My rate will be: 2/5 stars
