I'm not craving any kind of special food. But I am suddenly craving kikay stuff. Handmade soaps , sweet smelling lotions, yummy body washes that I hardly ever cared for before. Also, I now take time to fix and comb my hair, and I even make time for makeup!
Ngyi. Is that legal? Or am I just using pregnancy as an excuse to be kikay?
Anyway, I'd just like to share with you some of the stuff I'm loving lately. Just in case you want to try :-)I have other kikay stuff but I'll show you these first.
Face
Papaya and other fruit acids
At first glance this soap doesn't say much. I mean, it doesn't look appealing or expensive or "sosyal". Think "chunk of papaya soap" I first heard about it from an officemate who has very nice skin, then by coincidence, a friend of mine asked me to try a bar. I also heard that a lot of PAL flight attendants use it. I experienced tingling during the first few tries, but as promised, I saw the difference "after 7 days". Smoother skin, less visible pores, fewer breakouts! Beauche is usually sold as a "kit" with a toner, a night cream, an exfoliant, and sunblock - but I didn't get the others because they had ingredients that can be harsh to pregnant skin.
The downside (at least for me) is that it whitens so effectively :oP - my mom noticed "parang pumuputi ka??" I don't like to go lighter so I alternate it with....
Human Heart Nature Honey and Cocoa Butter Makeup Remover/ Facial Cleanser
(around P100.00)
This is the only HN face wash that I love. It controls my oil without drying my skin, and you can really feel the softness after you use it. As a makeup remover, it removes stubborn eye makeup without the prickles.
Ellana Premium Blend Mineral Foundation
(loose powder foundation , around P400.00 for a 6 gram pot. Might seem a little but it goes a long way)
Upon the suggestion of the Ellana lady, I got the blend in "Hazelnut Latte" ~ medium light with gold undertones. What's good with loose powder is that it covers well and probably clogs less pores than the liquid/ cream ones (c'mon, anything you put on your face is bound to clog something!) This particular blend also absorbs excess oil = less shine!
Tip 1: Good powder is no good with a bad brush. Good brushes can be expensive so I just bought a small one. Ellana has a portable, cute "baby buki" brush :-) Soft, non irritating bristles.
Tip 2: Recognize real mineral makeup from the fake by tapping some on water. If it floats, it's real. Ellana is available online, but you can also visit the SM Makati booth during weekends (groundfloor, at the tiangge type stalls in the middle)
I am tempted to buy all Ellana stuff and all Ellana brushes. Maybe next time, hehe.
Oki, til the next beauty review! I'm waiting for a batch of handmade soaps to arrive so I'll write about those in the next entry.
