Bath and Body Works at Landmark + More

Good news for us who were looking for Bath and Body Works PocketBacs in Manila!

Landmark, Trinoma had been carrying original B&BW products (I believe) for a long time now. They got body mist, lotion, adorable pocketbacs and even holders! Signature collection is always available. But one thing that caught my eye last Saturday... they added the PocketBacs in Reindeer and Cupcake Collection!

Reindeer PocketBacs - Mint-based

Aren't they cute?

And I really mean a lot 'cause I asked the SA and she said yes. Yay! This would be perfect for those who don't want to buy online and just can't wait to get their hands on it.

As much as I wanted to hoard, I already placed an order from a seller in GT and waiting. But of course, I couldn't control it as the PocketBacs are calling my name haha so I got one. Just one : p Retails at PhP 99.75 each.

Meanwhile,  if you like Kamiseta, they are on sale for like 50% off on almost all items. Isn't that great? I got myself 3 items which I'll save for my next post. Just a suggestion... go there early as most items were just everrrrywhere by late noon. :)

And oh, MAC and Clinique counter in Trinoma is still there. They're only waiting for a vacant boutique inside so they can move in permanently. Located in front of Gift Gate and closer if you are coming from Mindanao Avenue entrance.

It's Monday today so let's keep our energies up the whole week!

'Til then ladies!

Toner + Baguio Treats

Happy Tuesday everyone! My day started well because I am munching on these...

Baguio Treats

Choco Flakes, White Choco Flakes, Lengua, Lettuce and of course Baguio = Strawberries. I ♥ strawberries now, I used to hate them before. Honestly, Baguio's strawberry aren't as good as before. But I liked how it turned out, a bit of sour taste. Family doesn't like it so all it goes...to me. :)

Enough for the food, I really want to ask on your opinion on these two toners I am currently using.

Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2

Sweeps away dead surface skin cells on normal to oily skin. Skin appears smoother, softer, with more light-reflecting qualities. Allows more effective moisturisation. Makeup goes on more smoothly and stays on longer. Provides a cool, refreshing feeling.

I am halfway the bottle now, and I don't know if it's working well. You see I'm Type 2 (Dry to Dry Combination) but it feels even drier everytime I use it. I noticed that it contains alcohol as its main ingredient and I know that alcohol isn't good for dry skin.

Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner

It gently removes excess oil and impurities without overdrying, leaving your skin soft, smooth and naturally balanced.

Recently, I bought this at Healthy Options due to a lot of mixed raves about it. I guess this is more for those who have oilier skin. I can't really tell the efficacy of it now. All I can notice is the foul smell, not the type I can't withstand though.

What are your suggestions or experiences with these toners? Are they good?

I want to know what's yours. :)

My Everyday Beauty Routine - 02.15.10

I started blogging not because of the hype but of the appreciation of what beauty and life is. There are number of beauty blogs I look up to. Knowing their daily beauty routines feels like I'm part of their life too. So it's time I also share mine.

Morning

1. My face paraphernalia :)

• Cleanser - Garnier Light Clarifying Foam
  
• Toner - Clinique Clarifying Lotion for Dry, Combination skin
• Moisturizer - Clinique DDML for Dry, Combination skin and Garnier Light Moisturizer with spf15 (This acts as my moisturizer and sunblock during those "lazy-me" days) :)

    For my body:

• Soap - Kojie San Whitening Lotion, Caress Body Wash, and sometimes the good 'ol Safeguard
• Lotion - Nivea Extra Whitening Lotion, J&J Milk Lotion, TBS Body Butter
  

2. Wait for 10 minutes before I apply makeup. This is a very important step. If I skip this part, my face would be itchy by mid-day...that's for sure!

3. My daily makeup just comprises of:

• Concealer - MUFE 5-cream pallete concealer
• Blush on - PF shimmer strips Custom blush & highlighter in Natural Glow
  
• Powder - J&J (yes, I just use baby powder haha)
• Lip tint - Blistex lip tint or any pink/coral shade my hand will land first
  
• Mascara - Maybelline Volum' Express Cat Eyes Mascara

Just the basic set.

4. My hair is rebonded so I just leave it as it is. Then I'm good to go.

  

Night

1. Same with my morning face paraphernalia...sans the sunblock.

 

You'll notice I am using a lot of whitening products..I'm Asian right? :) Asians are obsessed in whitening their skin. I am fair-skinned but I still want to improve how it looks. The BF wants it too.. :)

Of course this routine will change, thus entitled with a date. So I promise to keep you updated. What about you? I am interested to know your beauty routine too. 'Til next time ladies! :)
