Will I recommend this product to my family & friends? Another YES 

By the way, other variants are Olay Skin Whitening Bar with Vitamin C and Olay Skin Whitening Bar with Papaya.

Kaya ang ending, gumamit ulit ako ng either Kojic Papaya Soap or L-Gluta Power Soap. I guess the soap formulation of SKN Optimum White Soap is too strong for my sensitive skin pero kagaya ng sinabi ko hiyangan talaga ang mga beauty products kaya kung gusto mo i-try don't be discourage on my personal experience kasi sa totoo lang meron din iba na hindi hiyang sa Kojic Papaya Soap at L-Gluta Power Soap pero okay naman sa akin. Same goes with the Anti-ageing soap that works pretty well with others but not for me.

I'm such a late bloomer and one of the things that I am currently exploring is makeup application. Yes, I am no pro especially when it comes to applying eye makeup but I'm getting there. Sabi nga diba, "practice makes perfect." Anyway, even if I am not a pro I still want to share my current favorites that is actually inside my pink Clinique makeup bag. By the way, things that are included inside are mixture of drugstore, knockoffs and authentic makeups because I'm not that picky, simple as that.

My pink Clinique makeup bag was given to me by my mom and I love that she really consider on getting me a pink one just because it is my favorite color, haha. Anyway, doesn't it look so cute? It actually has a smaller coin purse type bag included.

Sometime last year, I've seen and read a lot of stuff about this so-called Dessert For The Skin and from that moment I told myself that I would definitely get one for myself. Thank goodness for Sample Room because I was able to grab my own sample of The Cream Factory's Bath Cream. I received the Goat's Milk and Acai Berry one and I instantly feel in love with it because its pink and it smells really good.

I've read an article on how good Acai berries are good for skin care. Anyway, back to the product review. I've been using it for almost 2 weeks now and I really love how it moisturizes my skin and never had a hard time rinsing the product off. Since we've been having cold weather which tends to make our skin dry, I can totally say that while using The Cream Factory's Bath Cream wearing lotion is no longer needed or if I really need to wear lotion I will just need to apply it on the affected area of my skin. The smell is really soothing although I felt that it somehow changes while lathered or maybe it was only my sense of smell, haha. I just wish the smell will last longer on my skin though.

Overall, I'm definitely going to purchase and try another flavor once I'm done with this one.

QUESTIONS:

I know I am still missing some items but I'll probably buy them next time. I don't want to hoard on things that I am not even sure how to use, haha. Slowly but surely will be my motto when it comes to learning make-up application.

Anyway, I surely appreciate if you can recommend make-up pieces that are affordable, a-f-f-o-r-d-a-b-l-e. Hahaha! I am more than willing to learn and be taught.

I got each item for Php 99.00 except for Myra Facial Moisturizer which only cost like Php 12.00 per sachet and also the Foot Treats Anti-Bacterial Foot Spray is on sale for Php 99.00 for 2 bottles. Product review on each item will be up on my next blog entry.

Maybe some of you know that aside from being a blogger and a mom, I am also an online seller at Shop Caboodle. It started last April of this year with the goal of just selling random stuff that are cute yet useful. As of the moment, aside from cute stuff, we are also selling As Seen On TV items and a lot more. One of the items that we are selling is the Excel Paris Matte Lip Cream which according to many is considered as the affordable version of NYX Matte Lip Cream. Honestly, I already sold out a handful number of Excel Paris Matte Lip Cream without even trying them on myself thus I decided to actually just borrow the one my sister bought and test out the product myself. Shameless plugging on the online shop part but here's my review of the product.

According to my supplier, other online sellers, and the packaging; Excel Paris Matte Lip Cream is from Germany and it has 12 different shades numbered 501 to 512.

This list is for the new shades of Excel Paris Matte Lip Cream.

Anyway, my sister bought the 508 - Hot Pink shade.

Lip Applicator

I find the tube packaging cute because it is small which makes it really handy. It has a little flag that shows the shade number and has a lip applicator for easy application although it doesn't have any indication as to how many mL the lip cream is. Also, be careful in pulling out the applicator for the the tube's hole is almost the exact fit of the applicator that if you force it too much then the foam of the applicator will definitely get stuck inside.

Before applying the lip cream

Since according to my sister and some reviews, that the lip cream actually stay true to its 24 hour long lasting effect, I applied petroleum jelly on my lips first before applying the lip cream. Also, to give it a little gloss because I don't want to have a too matte lips. Also, I kind of lessen the amount of lip cream on the applicator so that the color will not be that bold since I just want to have a little color on my pale lips.

After applying petroleum and lip cream

Photos are all taken inside our house but will post some photos while wearing the lip crem outside some other time.

Final result

Please excuse my face for I don't really plan on taking a photo except for my lips but I kind of figure out that it will look good if I take some photos with my face in it. Oh well, next time I should be prepared and at least put some blush on my cheeks, LOL!



PS. Hope I did good because it is my first time to do such product review especially with cosmetics.
