Review on St. Ives Apricot Scrub - Brightening

I've been enjoying better skin lately. I don't want to call my self vain but I'm really particular with the kind of product I put on my face. I make sure to follow the 3-step routine: Cleanse, tones, Moisturize. But twice a week I try to add another step which is to scrub.

There's a product that never failed me in brightening my face and making it feel clean and fresh. I've been using this product for almost a year and I never had any breakouts because of this. It's Ives Apricot Scrub, yes indeed. This was introduced to me by my classmate in college and fell in love with it from first use but never really had the chance to buy it. But now that I'm working, I don't mind spending few bucks as long as it will do good on my skin.

Here are the photos for you. Smile!





The packaging doesn't come cheap. It's in a squeeze tube so you'll have control of how much you want to use. It claims to brighten the skin, not tested on animals and 100 percent natural extracts which is good. Who doesn't like natural anyway? I love that it smells great even after washing the face. It smells fruity, I would say that it smells like lemonade. The tiny bits of apricot doesn't melt unlike other scrubs that I've tried before. I think that's the reason that it works in removing dead skin. A pea size amount can be used on the whole face and neck. You have to put it in an upward circular motion on wet skin.

Here are photos of how the product looks.



Have you tried this scrub before or any St. Ives product? Please share your thoughts.


Sincerely,

JOY :P

Nichido Length and Curl Mascara

I have used this Mascara  for half a year so now I think it's time to bring this baby to the spotlight. Here is another review from a local brand Nichido, this time it's a mascara. I was browsing through racks and racks of make-up looking for a perfect mascara that I can wear everyday. I don't want to spend too much for a mascara because they tend to dry up fast, that's base on experience from other mascaras I've tried. I was checking Nichido counter when the SA approached me. She gave me several mascaras to choose from. Others are just not for my liking because it doesn't hold curls or it make my eyelashes clumpy and heavy after application. She told me to try Nichido Length and Curl Mascara. She got me when she said that it doesn't  clump eyelashes and it won't dry fast. I gave it a try and I like it. It holds curl and gives additional length to my eyelashes. It has small hairs that would stick to your eyelashes for added lenght but I haven

New Bath Companion from Watsons

Who doesn't love taking a bath? I live in the Philippines where it's very humid and the temperature can go up to 60 degree Celsius or even higher during summer. I have bath-time essentials which I use on a daily basis. I just recently run-out of my favorite body wash from The body shop, I first thought of buying new ones from Daiso just to give it a try but I decided to check Watson's first. I know they have body essentials like lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and even mouthwash at a very reasonable price. Some items are on Buy-one Get-one promo. Watson's carry a lot of different products from head to toe. I have tried their mouthwash and Hair Spa. I must say that they work perfectly the same as the other brands with a higher price tag because of the expensive commercials and advertisements. My husband and I still use their mouthwash until now. Here are my new bath-time companion from Watson's. I currently use this deep moisturizing

Nothings Gonna Change My Love

"Nothing's gonna change my love for you. I hope you know by now how much I love you One thing you can be sure of I'll never ask for more than your love." This is my favorite song. I keep this song inside my heart because I know that one day I will sing this song for someone until you finally came. You gave meaning to this song. It's not just a lyrics for me now but it's a real emotion from me to you. I can't imagine how life would be without your presence. Every single day without you is so different and very difficult for me. I miss you in every breathing I take, in every words I say and in everything I do. Im missing you right now as I am right here on the bed writting this post for our anniversary. First, I want to thank you for being patient and for keeping your love and your trust on me while I was away. I know it has been so hard for you to let the days over without me. It's hard for you as much as it's hard for me. But those days mak
