Product Review: The Face Shop: Mini Floral Pet: Hand Cream

This was given to me as a gift from my good friend Haru and I absolutely love it! 
If you are not moved into a 'awww that is soo cuteee!' frenzy by the package alone then you have a heart of stone. Because just look at it! It is sooo cute! 

This Mini Floral Pet Hand Cream from The Face Shop is definitely a win-win buy. 
For about P 300.00 not sure of the exact price, you have this adowable (yup! adowable) container that has hand cream that is so soft and so fragrant. You definitely have no excuse to have rough and dry hands if you have this.  

Another great thing about this product is that I actually use it when there are strong scents in my hands and fingers like when I've been chopping onions or garlic. Sometimes when you wash your hands you just can't get the smell of onions or garlic off but with Mini Pet Floral that can easily be fixed and it does so it a subtle and fragrant way. 

Product Review: Etude House: Moistfull: Facial Moisturizer

Just like my Tony Moly Prestige Gel Liner product review, this is also a late review already since I purchased this Moistfull (facial) lotion in September of 2012. So I have been using this product for about 4 months now and I guess that gives me more to say about it. I bought this since I was looking for a good facial moisturizer. I did some research online and I found this product that seemed to do the trick when it comes to keeping your face moisturized. 

Product Review: Tony Moly: Prestige Eyeliner Gel

Not so brand new. You can already see the writing erased due to it being a couple of months old. 

This is actually already a late blog post since I made this purchase way back in September of 2012 (Paul bought it for me as an Anniversary gift). We did the product shoot for this in October, all this while thinking that we erased the photos but as I was going through our photos for our year end in photos lo! and behold! I saw the photos stashed away in one of our folders so here I am now months and months after making this late blog post. 

One advantage of writing this product review after a few months is that I've already been using the product for some time and here is what I have to say about it: 

Product Review: Wide Nails PP401

Wide Nails. Face it with one of my Rei Ayanami figures. 

During my last trip to the Face Shop I decided to break my P100.00/polish rule and I purchased the Wide Nails variation of the nail polishes. This nail polish is for P295.00. So how was it different from the other P100.00 polishes? Well the brush is actually more flat than the ordinary polish. This actually made the application of the polish easier. 

Product Review: Etude House Princess 3D Mask

This is already a late product review. Actually I haven't been able to do much product reviews as of late. As you can see we've been pretty busy (and I mean really busy) these past few weeks, actually this weekend is the first weekend that I've had to myself for a long time. Although I did have to write 17 articles for a client- so I wouldn't really call it a 'weekend to myself'. 

So even with the deadline of 17 articles over the weekend I still wanted to insert this product review :) 

I actually have products to review already. They are all lined up and I've been using most of them already so I guess that's a good thing since I would have more to write about ;) 

Product Review: Etude House Mascara Remover and Silky Cotton Pad

There was a paragraph that I had read which really struck me and caught my attention. The gist of the paragraph was that-if we spend so much time on putting on make up we should also spend time to make sure that we make an effort to removing the make up. 

I've always had trouble removing the make up I apply on my eyelids and of course the eyeliner and the mascara. After washing my face I would still find traces of eyeliner or mascara- so I decided to give Etude House's Mascara Remover a try. 

I really loved this product and I swear by it! It's always a part of my ritual before going to sleep. It's very effective and very easy to use. 

This is me with make up on. I have small eyes so I always make sure I put on eyeliner, eye shadow and mascara. The mascara isn't obvious here but I am wearing mascara. :) 

This is Etude House's Silky Cotton Pad which is also a great buy since it's great to use with the Mascara Remover. It's really soft and it's better than cotton especially if you are removing make up from your eyes. This box of Silk pads has 80 pieces and costs around P148.00. 

Product Review: The Face Shop PL602 Nail Polish

Face Shop's PL602 Nail Polish 

I change the color of my nails every two weeks or so. That is why I am starting to accumulate different kinds of nail polish. For this blog post I will be reviewing Face Shop's PL602 Nail Polish. 

I love it that the Face Shop has Nail Polish at P95.00. This is very affordable and it's easy on the conscience to go to the store and buy one nail polish at a time. 

Product Review: The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Toner

Gotta love this Rice Ceramide Moisture Toner

I've been meaning to try out a new toner and I came across Face Shop's Rice Ceramide Moisture Toner.

It comes in a 150ml bottle and costs around P300.00 (+) I have to get back to the store to make sure. :p 

As the name suggests it's a Moisture Toner so unlike the usual toners that are just like water this one has a thicker consistency and feel.

You can immediately feel the added moisture when you use it.

Unlike the traditional toners that can actually sting from time to time there is no stinging sensation when you are using this Rice Ceramide Moisture Toner.

The toner is made with extracts of fruits and plants. As the name suggests the toner has ceramide which helps in maintaining moisture and also prevents dry and flaky skin.

Product Review: Etude House Nail Polish DPK 002 Wink Pink

So here is another Nail Polish Review and for this review let's take a look at Etude House' DPK 002 Wink Pink which is part of their 'Dear My Deep Color Nails' line. 

I really wasn't planning to buy Nail Polish (I originally visited the store to purchase a moisturizer for my face---product review for that coming soon) since I just recently bought my blue Face Shop Nail Polish - see my review here. But I decided to buy this since I needed a little around P100 to be able to get a free gift from Etude House. (I chose the Pearl Mask--review for that one coming soon as well)

Product Review: Face Shop PK103 Nail Polish

Face Shop's PK103 Nail Polish

      

My friend Pj had asked me to buy a hand cream from The Face Shop so in my 1 Nail Polish per visit rule I got a shiny pink nail polish this time. 

This shade is definitely a lot safer and more conventional than what I would usually buy. It's different and at least I would not have to worry about Paul's grandmother saying that I should only wear reddish nail polish (since Red is lucky for Chinese) she doesn't like my yellow or blue nail polishes. She says she has never seen nail polish like those. 

Every time Lola notices my unconventional nail polish I would promise to paint my nails red the next time around. :p
