Aloevera Gel

Welcome back to my blog! 🎆🎉🎊 sorry for being inactive for 3 months I guess? Its been hell of a busy months. I've missed doing blogs and I have so much products to share with you guys. So don't forget to follow me on my instagram @lalelyssa because I will be posting my new reviews there. I'm also working on my site at wordpress, it isn't done yet so keep updated guys 😘

So for today's blog I will be talking about my new favorite beauty product for a month now (actually not just a favorite, I'M OBSESSED BY this product) So without further ado let's jump right in.

This is my newest obsession my "98% natural aloevera gel from ashley. I bought it last month from "all about beauty products by kath & rj' (I will put the link at the end of this blog) It is been awhile since I discovered the benefits of aloevera plant to our skin. May other people say "ewww" about this plant because of the slimy liquid inside of it, but after reading this whole blog I am 100% sure it will be no longer an "ewww" but "wow!" 😊 To cut the long introduction. Here are some of the benefits of aloevera.





Aloe vera has been used for a host of purposes since the ancient Egyptians called it the “plant of immortality.”

Since then, its uses have become more targeted and medicinal, and it's one of the leading therapies for sunburns.

Aloe vera is a cactus plant that belongs to the Liliaceae family. It grows in dry climates such as those found in parts of Africa and India and has been used medicinally for centuries.

Aloe leaves secrete a clear gel that when broken off from the rest of the plant that can be applied topically to heal wounds and soothe skin.

1. It treats sunburn.

Aloe Vera helps with sunburn through its powerful healing activity at the epithelial level of the skin, a layer of cells that cover the body. It acts as a protective layer on the skin and helps replenish its moisture. Because of its nutritional qualities and antioxidant properties, the skin heals quicker.

2. It acts as a moisturizer.

Aloe moisturizes the skin without giving it a greasy feel, so it`s perfect for anyone with an oily skin complexion. For women who use mineral-based make-up, aloe vera acts as a moisturizer and is great for the face prior to the application to prevents skin drying. For men: Aloe vera gel can be used as an aftershave treatment as its healing properties can treat small cuts caused by shaving.

3. It treats acne.

Aloe vera gel contains two hormones: Auxin and Gibberellins. These two hormones provide wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce skin inflammation. Giberellin in aloe vera acts as a growth hormone stimulating the growth of new cells. It allows the skin to heal quickly and naturally with minimal scarring.

Aloe is soothing and can reduce skin inflammations, blistering and itchiness, while helping the skin to heal more rapidly. Additionally, in Ayurvedic medicine, Aloe is used to effectively heal chronic skin problems, such as psoriasis, acne and eczema.

aren't you impressed yet?? hmmm? 😕 let's read more :)

4. It fights aging.

As we age, everyone begins to worry about the appearance of fine lines and the loss of elasticity in their skin. Aloe leaves contain a plethora of antioxidants including, beta carotene, vitamin C and E that can help improve the skin's natural firmness and keep the skin hydrated.

5. It lessens the visibility of stretch marks.

The skin is like one big piece of elastic that’ll expand and contract as needed to accommodate growth. But if the skin stretches too far, too fast (due to pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss) the elasticity of the skin can be damaged. That’s what leaves those unsightly stretch marks. These marks appear due to minor tears in the layers of the skin caused by sudden and excessive stretching. Aloe vera gel can help hide these stretch marks by healing these wounds.

6. It's nutrient rich for good health.

This solid material contains over 75 different nutrients including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, sugars, anthraquinones or phenolic compounds, lignin, saponins, sterols, amino acids and salicylic acid.

I'm pretty sure, you are impressed now 😵😱

I used the ekel masks in aloevera a couple of months ago. "I have a blog about that too, "my facial mask journey" (I will put the link below) out of many variance of masks. Aloevera have caught my attention why? because it really help to lessen my pimples. When I used the said masks I have a pimple on my right cheek and after using the aloe masks the next morning my pimple was totally gone. (No kidding). That day I fell inloved with aloevera. I ordered a couple of aloe masks again and of course, aloevera didn't disappoint me 😁😁😁

As a full commuter and a college student. Dirt, stress and all the sleepless nights can cause you unwanted breakouts, pimples and acne. Also having a sensitive skin really a challenge for me to find a product that will suit to my skin type. When I discovered this product in an online shop where I belong and also working as an admin and invoice maker. I didn't hesitate to buy plus it is on sale. from its content and how big the tub is. You really got a steal and save a bunch of money :)




How I apply it?
Every after I took a bath, I used it as moisturizer and protector from the sun at the same time. Also I used it every night before I go to sleep. You can also use it as a primer to protect your pores from foundation :)

What was the effect?
You will notice that every morning when you wake up, your skin was totally radiant, moisturized, looks supple and bright plus it gives you a glowy effect like koreanas 😊.

From its effectivity and benefits I will give it a perfect 10 🎇🎆

FINAL VERDICT :
this product is totally insane, it is my holy grail skincare product. My day will be incomplete without putting it on *I swear* 😂😂✌

WILL I RECOMMEND IT?
Definitely!! everyone must have this product, coz' its a holy grail 😵😂

WILL I BUY AGAIN?
Absolutely YES!!

Anastasia beverly hills Glow kit in Gleam (Replica)

Hellooooo I'm back again !! :) finally! we are now down to my last blog for this month of july. whooot! whoot!

Who wants to glow this coming august??
Who wants to slay the glow??
Who wants to look youthful?

If your answer is ME!! you'll definitely enjoy this blog.






Anastasia Beverly hills Glow kit line rattle the world of cosmetics. From their lipcreams, to diprow pomade, and now they are slaying the highlighter that will make you glow onto the top. We all know that Anastasia Beverly hills or simply ABH products are not that affordable for a person like me. The authentic glow kit almost cost Php 2,000-3,000 depending on the seller.  Honestly it is almost my 2-3weeks allowance and because of that we are easily hook up with the replicas.


LBC doesn't hold it carefully, it arrived crushed but I did my best to put the colors back into their pans.

The Glow kit line has 2 variance Gleam and that Glow. I got the Gleam which is good for the light to fair skintone. I bought it from shopee @kissntellco for only Php 180.00 (I will put the link below)


you can detach them from the palette


 without flash (1 coat only)

with flash (1 coat only)


It is highly pigmented and buttery almost the same as the original (according to the other makeup hoarder who also got the original one) I already tried it and I must say this is the most convincing and good replicas I have. They said you can't actually tell where is the replica from the original because it is almost look alike. But because it is only replica or imitation I'm not sure with the ingredients if it is safe or not, but as I tried it, this doesn't cause me pimple or any allergic reaction knowing that I have a sensitive skin. But hey!! if you are cheapskate like me, it is a good steal :))



 I used it to highlight my brow-bone 

I used it to highlight my cheeks, nose-bridge and cupids-bow

FINAL VERDICT: I love the packaging, the price is very affordable, it doesn't have foul smell, very buttery and highly pigmented. I will rate it 4/5.

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS? if you are a "BUDGETARIAN" like me but looking for a good highlighter this is a good one to start :)

let's reminisce

Hi dear loves!! :'* as I mention on my previous blog as a celebration of my 1st yr anniversary of being a makeup junkies. I will be sharing you my story on how I discovered the of world makeup.

so let's start to reminisce....


Back when I was in 3rd yr college (last yr) I remember I ordered red lipstick online that I keep until now, honestly I don't know what comes into my mind why all of a sudden I want to have a red lipstick. I don't even know what was the difference between matte, shimmer and satin finished like I know nothing. That time for me lipstick should be red so I got mine in super satin finished red lipstick. At first I was hesitate to use it at school coz' I am not really into lipstick person simply because I don't know how to use it hehehe :D yes! you read it right :) my nerdness had last 18 yrs. of my life. Until I got blush on, eyeliner, brushes and more lippies. :) I become more addicted to lippies since then, I got different lipcreams, and of course my favorite matte lipsticks :) I started to buy makeups 3 months after I got my 1st lipstick because I can't get enough of them. I bought more eyeliner, blushers brushes, concealer, contour, highlighter, eyeshadow palettes, falsies, powders and many more :) I started to watch different tutorial in youtube specifically nikkietutorials, sephora do's and dont's and many more. Those tutorials influenced me to try out and mimic what they are doing (so you can say social media is the pushing force) later on, I discovered different skin care routine too :) though I have my own skin care routine but not that big deal (if you get my point) :'p I didn't change my cleansing foam which is the anew 360° illuminating cleanser since I have used it for almost 4 yrs now :D (I will do a separate blog on how I do my skin care routine). 




MY FIRST EVER LIPSTICK

I have learned to put makeup one by one. On simple eyeliner to winged eyeliner, simple eyeshadow into blended eyeshadow, contouring, highlighting, baking, eyebrows on fleek and so on.. but I'm not saying that I am already a professional makeup artist or guru. I am just a simple makeup enthusiast/junkies who dreamed that someday I will become a makeup artist. I started playing on my SG makeups or may some people called it "fake makeups" before I don't have any issue or it's not a big deal for me to use "fake cosmetics" since I have a small allowance, I am not capable of purchasing branded or high-end makeups. But!! honestly I'm happy and I am a proud user of SG makeups :)) 

Now I'm starting to hoard local and branded makeups and I don't see any problem with that coz' in the first place it is a good investment for a makeup junkies like me. I have learned so many things because of makeups and blogging "I am more capable in socializing" I guess?? hahaha lol :'p :'p I met different people, sellers, online shops and even youtubers/vloggers, I found a new friends/family who loves makeup too :) and that's because of being a makeup lover "I have a busy life now outside the school" 

For the other people they saw makeups as a concealer, they saw it in a different way like it is a tool to deceived your beauty, to hide your imperfections. But for me its not, this is something would lift up your beauty, and not hiding them at all. Know matter what for me
blending is my cardio, makeup is my stress reliever, and my own kind of drug. 

just a little bit tips and word of wisdom for the people out there who wants to be a blogger and to try out  makeups. "Start now! be confident, in-vibe the positive aura, don't mind crab people around you, and keep practicing :) 

 START NOW! 

 BE CONFIDENT!

AND KEEP PRACTICING <3

and that's for today's blog, Hope you enjoy my story :'** byeee..

HOT or Not? (Iwhite bb cream full review)


Hi! dear loves :* I've been quiet for almost 3 weeks now. I think you have an idea why :D "school stuffs are everywhere" flying around (lol!)and oh! I want to tell you guys that this month of july I celebrate my 1st yr or my 1st anniversary being a makeup junkies/makeup enthusiast so before this month will end. I will try my best to do 3 blogs just for you loves. So without further ado lets start this blog :) 

So for today's blog I wanted to share you my experience and thoughts on Iwhite BB CREAM. Is it HOT or NOT?? 


Iwhite BB cream promises makeup and skincare in one, with 10 plants extract and has a SPF 10 PA+. It cost 24.50 per sachet which for me is quiet pricey knowing that the sachet has only 4ml that can be used up to 4-6 times depending on how much you squeeze the product out


(Photo not mine) since I transfer mine into a clear small jar, and I forgot to take a picture

left (light), right (beige) this is the packaging of Iwhite bb cream you can definitely identify where in the 2's are the light and beige.


The Iwhite bb cream has 2 shade to choose from the light shade which is (good for light to fair skintone) and the beige one is (good for medium to dark skintone) 


MY EXPERIENCE
So here's my experience last sunday I decided to use this bb cream to try out if the rave is true. The product itself is very promising. I love the smell (smells like tootie frutie) the color is blend-able, the coverage is light to medium that can cover your blemishes, the light shade suits on my skintone BUT!after an hour I noticed a small bumps on my both cheeks I thought, It is just normal since I have this similar reaction when I used cream products for the first time. The next day I used it again having the thought of "it is just normal" but when I get back home from school I noticed that the small bumps were not just only on my cheeks but onto my chin area too luckily I don't have on my forehead. I wash my face right away and I exfoliate but the small bumps are still on my face. I panicked, I used my facial masks in cucumber it lessen the the size of the bumps a little, but still not satisfied.:'( so, I have decided to stop using this bb cream and go back to my routine, and I do a research thank you to my tmur family who shared their experiences using this Iwhite bb cream and I found out that most of them breakouts too :( the next morning the bumps are started to swell the redness was really obvious I have no choice but to go to school with the red swelling bumps. The next day after they become pimples :'( and the size got doubled. The first day was horrible like I don't want to go to school so I did my best to conceal them. 




Thursday night I put a cream on my pimples this cream helps to dry your pimples just in 1 day. friday morning my pimples are already dry and then saturday morning some of the pimples gone but leaves a pimple marks :( sucks!! and today sunday I can say my face is 80% healed up and my problem now is the pimple marks :( 

I just found out that those bumps are rashes and they become 
pimples.


MY THOUGHTS
Here's my thought not all the users of Iwhite bb cream experienced my story. Some users tell that it doesn't caused them negative reaction like rashes, allergies etc.. Since I have a sensitive skin maybe some of the chemical ingredients of Iwhite bb cream triggered my skin caused me to breakouts. 

FINAL VERDICT: I love the smell, I love the packaging, the price is quiet pricey,I love the coverage but it caused me breakouts :(

WILL I RECOMMEND THIS? if you don't have a sensitive skin might probably yes :) but if you notice unusual reaction stop using it.

WILL I BUY AGAIN? so sad, but no :(

My Facial mask Journey


Hi! dear loves <3 I'M BACK!! A lot of you guys I know want to achieve a smooth and "koreana be like" skin mainly on your face. So, for today's blog I will be sharing you my facial mask experience.

This is the first time I used korean facial mask. I've been wanting to try facial masks for a long time now but everytime I go to mercury or in watsons I had this unexplained hesitation maybe because I find mercury price costly (P 50.00) since I know korean facial masks range 20.00-35.00 pesos only. 

Luckily I found this online shop in shopee at COlivineV https://mall.shopee.ph/shop/#shopid=480274 (make sure you check her shop) 



she sells it for only 200.00 pesos for 10 pcs but since Shopee gave me a birthday promo code I got these facial masks half of its original price (P 100.00 + 50.00 for shipping fee) all in all 150.00 pesos.

I got 1 pc-Milk, 3 pcs-Collagen, 2 pcs-Aloe, 2 pcs-Snail, 1 pc-Pomegranate, and 1 pc-Green tea seed. 

First I try the Aloe/Aloevera, secondly pomegranate, next milk, snail then green tea seed and lastly collagen.



Really works in removing stubborn Pimples


Smells like a high-end powder (if does make sense) :p 


Smells like a soap for me


Smells like nature (very refreshing smell)


Smells like a car freshener in a flavor of nature lemon (if does make sense hehehe :p )


Smells like a lotion for me


This is how mask looks like inside and outside of sachet

and this is how mask looks like when it dries


HOW I USED THEM: First I wash my face using ANEW 360 illuminating white cleansing foam by avon, then I exfoliate my face using my Iwhite 2 minute miracle, after that I will place the facial mask on my face for 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes until the mask dry.

FINAL VERDICT: I love every variance because it gives you a supple, smooth, clear and healthy looking skin after using these masks. Except in MILK because it cause me unwanted breakouts. I got a big acne on my right cheek maybe next time I will scratch out the milk on my list -.- What I like the most among them is the ALOE it did a best work, my pimple gone after I used the aloe facial mask. Aloe is now my FAVORITE!! :D I will rate the masks 8/10. 10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest.

WILL I RECOMMEND THESE MASKS? YES ! 

WILL I BUY AGAIN? YES ! but this time I think I will purchase only the ALOE :)

Oval Brush

Hi dear! :) it's been a long weeks since I have posted my last review, sorry dear loves I've been so busy this past weeks PLUS! been so busy with my school stuffs since I am a graduating student (yey!) but yeah! because I've missed you dear loves so much I wanted to share you this favorite brush of mine which I'm so addicted the first time I used this :) so WITHOUT FURTHER A DO LET'S GET STARTED!!


(without any filter and editing happened)


all beauty gurus, bloggers, you-tubers, makeup artists or even simple makeup junkies (like me):P rave about these brushes (paddle brushes or oval brushes). It comes in a set of 10 brushes in a box, but unfortunately I'm out of budget last summer so I won't be able to buy the whole set, instead I bought this smaller brush among the 5 brushes which is more bigger. These brushes originated at the united states (artis company) which is way more costly compare to the dupes, imitation, and SG brushes that are spreading in the cosmetics market right now. But since "I'M A MAKEUP JUNKIES" I HAVE TO HAVE IT TOO NO MATTER WHAT! :D



I bought this at shopee in the store of Prettysuzie (click the link to go directly on her shop :)
https://mall.shopee.ph/shop/#shopid=3651489 and because this is a promo I bought this brush for only P 100.00 (free shipping and cash on delivery) It has the transparent box which for me is very hygienic because this will prevent the brush to exposed on dirt and dusts while in the transit (thumbs up) the brush itself is super dense, the upper curvy handle is flexible.


this is my face without makeups or even foundation AS IN MY NUDE FACE PLUS! allow me to take a selfie with my fave brush heihie :D :D :D (without any filter and editing happened)



and this is my whole look with makeup using this MAC OVAL BRUSH as a FOUNDATION BRUSH and also I used this brush to set my foundation (without any filter and editing happened)




(without any filter and editing happened)


FINAL VERDICT: 
I love this brush because as you can see on my previous photos above it will result you an airbrush finish without spending too much :D take note! for this look, all the products that I used are all SG COSMETICS but still looked sophisticated. This brush is very flexible :D well? yes kinda' literally flexible, but what I'm talking about is the usage :) this brush will fit to any products (liquid, cream, and even powder)

WOULD I BUY THE WHOLE SET? yes!
RATE? because this is my favorite brush :D 5/5
