Maxi Peel - Day40

My Maxi-Peel Day40 of using the Exfoliant #2

So today marks my 40th day of using Maxi-Peel products. My pimples are still there and still I don't experience a lot of peeling which is a good thing to me.

You may check my previous post from this Maxi-Peel journey here:
My Journey


Here is an update picture for my Day 40 of usage
My pimples are still on a breakout mode which is really kinda frustrating but, I still believe that it is part of the cleaning process of their product which, they stated that could happen.
My left cheek has more pimples and they are dry now (I just can't tell if it shows i the picture) because on my 30th day they are newly pop from my cheeks.

I really do hope that this will help lessen the pimples as I am already reaching my 60th day and after that I will be doing already the Rest Day Period. I want to reach the rest day period with less pimples.

Benefit Ready Set Brow - Dupe

BENEFIT READY SET BROW VS. DAISO EYEBROW COAT

Okey, I just said it is a dupe because it does the same job and with more affordable price.

It just says eye brow coat, and I bought it at Daiso (Market!Market) for only Php88.00

The Benefit Ready Set Brow is 1,400.00 - full size.


Here is the picture of the eyebrow coat and the Benefit Ready Set Brow

Both products helps in keeping the eyebrow makeup on spot. It is budge-proof even you perspire.

This is way more affordable but, if you are into high-end products you may do so or choose your own brand but, this is just a affordable one for those who are on a budget.

The only difference is the applicator but, on the formula wise they just do the same. The Benefit has a brush like (mascara wands) and the Daiso one looks like a nail polish (^_^).

The Benefit really helps you in taming the brows because of its dual-custom sided wand that combs the unruly brow. But, for the Daiso one you can also do that but, you just need to use a separate brush to do so.

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip (Teeny Tiny, Trap, Bad Habit) - Swatch + Review + First Impression

So, I have a courage to order thru an online seller a Coloupop Lipstick. I bought this to MNL Beauty Boutique (IG: mnlbeautyboutique) for the price of Php480/each I read review that she is a legit seller and her products are 100% US Authentic. You can go check her IG and contact her from there, she is nice to transact with. I got my lippies within 2 days from payment.


Here is the swatch/es



This are just my thoughts on this products and I am not a beauty expert or sooooooo....

Shade: Teeny Tiny
- The shade is a brownish color, for me it looks good for people with a pale/fair skin tone. It looks like a chocolate color on my view.
- The formula is good, it dries instantly as in instantly. So you better be quick in applying.
- It does not transfer
- Long wearing (Just don't eat oily food which is their enemy)

Shade: Trap
- The shade is like a muted pink / pale plum combination. On my lips it looks a super pale pinking / plum type of color.
- The formula is also good, it dries up instantly.
 - It does not transfer
- Long wearing (Again, no to oily food)

Shade: Bad Habit
- The shade is a red with like a pink tone in it.
- The formula on this one is a bit so-so for me. It transfers and I am a type of person who always pucker up my lips (a habit maybe, ooooh and the name for this shade is a Bad Habit) so, I am worried that in doing that, of my so called habit of mine, my lips will transfer on the outer area. (Imagine if you just wipe off your lipstick, the picture that you look like JOKER from Batman) that's what I was imagining all day while I am wearing this shade.

Overall:
I like the Colourpop formula that is does stay all day (just stay away from oily food). For retouch, you don't need any but, if you need one you may and it does not crack or feel dry on the lips. I just tried up to 2x because, I can't ate some oily food that time (^.^)
It does not crack, and it does not feel dry on my lips.

Don't forget to always prep your lips if you are using a liquid lipstick.

Maxi Peel - Day30

YES! Today is my 1 month of using the MaxiPeel regimes, I don't use any other products to fully see the results.

Here is my:
Day10
Day20

Here is my Day 30
As I would say it, my pimples really did breakout. I have a big pimple again on my cheeks. But, the pimples are less visible than before, I think it really calls all the possible pimples to come out (hahaha). I really want my pimples to stop breaking out. It's takes time to cover them up (-.-) and at this kind of weather my faces is really oily (atm).
Still waiting when will my breakout stop. Really wishing my pimples to disappear already.

Nella Fantasia - Aura Highlighter (Swatch + Review + First Impression)

I usually don't use highlighter but, on I wanna try out this out. I bought this at Althea PH Online Shopping. This is in shade White Pearl and the price is Php300.00

Here is the Item & Swatch

I already tried it on my face and I like the glow. But, the only problem I have is I do not know how to use the puff thingy, I think that is suppose to be used as an applicator but, no products comes out from there. So I will just open the lid and get a brush but, sometimes I end up spilling some powder all over and end up having glitters on my clothes.
And also I am having a hard time controlling the amount of the powder. If I will tap the brush it will just all fall and if I don't I end up having a uneven highlight or massive glow on my cheeks.

I will probably will use a highlighter but not this kind, will use the palette ones like the Sleek Solstice. Which I am wanting to have for quiet sometime now.

Update: Okey the cushion now works, it just doesn't work before, because the powder are clump up together preventing it to come through the cushion. Still to much shine on the face, and a lot of fall outs.

Will not purchase this again.
My rating will be: 1/5

I know that I will be receiving samples one so I don't expect much and if I receive a full size, then I will be super happy then.

Althea PH - Mini Haul (Online Shop)

Althea PH is an online shop that carries Korean products, directly from Korea to be shipped at your door steps.

Link of their website: Althea PH

I ordered this last June 15, 2016 and I received my box on June 24, 2016


Here is the list of items that I bought and how much I paid.

Grand Total ₱2,060


The one that has Buy2Free1 is the Baby Pet Magic Mask Sheet. You get to buy two products with a price of one. The only thing that I was really planning to buy is the Banila Co. Primer with the amount of Php530.00 only, almost half the price of the retail but, I ended up spending more (huhuhu) but, it's okey I do want to try out some other stuffs too.

Their delivery this time only spans from 9days, which is less than what they mention of 10-15 days which, is a good thing because, you do not have to wait almost half a month for your product to arrive. And as always their packaging is great, all items are secured in a bubble wrap and no item has damage or what (and did I mention their box is pink!).

Off-topic, you may re-use their box as an organizer of all sort of things. Like mini notebooks, pens, etc. I used mine to store some of my brushes (hehe).

My Overall Rate for them: 5/5

Maxi Peel - Day 20

Okey, this is my 20th day of using Maxi-Peel Exfoliant #2, as mentioned pimples will start to pop up for some user (and I am one of those).

Link for my Day10

They say that it is part of the process and/or side effect of using the product. It means that the product is doing it's job.

If it will be compared on my Day10, my Day20 has a lot more pimples and some are big ones. My forehead has a lot but it's not that big like on my cheeks. I have now a bit of peeling, like on my upper eyebrow, you can see a bit peeling (but not that much).

I hope this will really fade in the coming days, I do not want my face to have more pimples than before.

NOTE: I stopped using the moisturizer because, I have oily skin and they said that it is okey not use moisturizer if you have oily skin because, it already produces oil on its own.
