I love green eye shadows since I find that they make my brown eyes pop. And if there is one particular green eye shadow that I think every girl needs to have, it's no other than Mac Humid. 

Perpetual Flame is a creamy raspberry red that flatters my pale face. It adds that pop of color on my puckers and lasts a really long time (8-10 hrs, seriously!). It is opaque in one swipe and is very comfortable to wear. It doesn't have that glue-like consistency of Unlimited which is nice and doesn't dry my lips out. It lives up to its name, it is extremely long wearing! It is matte so to make things a little juicier, I sometimes top it off with a clear gloss. When I feel dull, I put this on and it instantly infuses me with oozing confidence! Yes, lipsticks can absolutely do that! (wink!)

Full Speed is a gorgeous bright opaque coral pink shade that brings life to the face in a swipe! It is a lovely wearable summer color which I think will suit all skin tones. Seriously, I can't think of anything unforgiving about this lipstick. Its texture is incredibly smooth, creamy, and it is very moisturizing. The color pay off is excellent and it glides like melted butter on my lips. Also, the shiny cylindrical packaging is luxe!

I love that with the help of innovative beauty products, I can enjoy the luxury of having a facial (without the painful prick-my-whiteheads drama) at the comfort of my own bedroom and without swiping my credit card. Who doesn't want to have that radiant, glowing skin minus the heavy price tag, right? 


Lucky me, I have found the right skin regimen that makes my "me-time" incredibly easy, pleasurable and worthwhile with iWhite Korea.



iWhite Korea covers all the missing links in any girl's dream skin line; - it cleanses, nourishes and protects the skin like no other brand. Enhanced with bio-nanotechnology (which by the way is unique to this line), iWhite Korea uses nothing but the best technology in the market to deliver exquisite results. As I have mentioned in my previous post, I have been a user of their products over the years and I am sure that I am just one of their many satisfied consumers. As I have rediscovered my love for iWhite Korea's Whitening Pack and Nose Pack, I have also found new loves with their Vita Moisturizing Facial Wash, Skin Whitening Facial Cream and Skin Whitening Vita Aqua Moisturizing Cream (my fave!). Caution: the raving part is about to begin! (wink)


Let me start with Skin Whitening Vita Moisturizing Facial Wash

A facial wash beyond extraordinary. Processed using a breakthrough scientific formula which was also refined by bio-nanotechnology, makes it more potent yet gentle in deeply cleaning, removing excess oils and eliminating all skin impurities without drying the skin. It's especially formulated with Mulberry Extract to whiten skin, Panax Ginseng to revitalize and improve skin conditions, Allantoin and triclosan to help prevent pimples and other skin irritations plus Vitamins C and E to protect the skin from free radicals and emolients to prevent dryness.


Next we have the Whitening Pack 

Yep, our favorite peel off mask is now available in tubes! This little guy removes deep-seated dirt, whiteheads, blackheads, dead skin and other impurities to reveal a radiant, glowing, younger-looking skin. I use this twice to thrice a week and it instantly revives my skin. It is non-irritating and especially formulated with Mulberry Extract that evens out discolorations, Panax Ginseng Root Extract that improves skin health and Vitamins A, C, E and B5 to prevent premature aging. I even use this to remove my make up on days when washing my face feels like a burden. This is one product that will never be absent in my slumber parties and girlfriends beauty bonding sessions!


Now, the Nose Pack

Another old time favorite product of mine! It is effective in removing whiteheads and blackheads and eliminates deep-seated dirt, excess oil and other impurities on the nose. I pair this with the Whitening Pack every 2-3 times a week. I don't get pimples that often but Iaccumulate whiteheads on my nose perhaps faster than anybody else and this has been my life saver! Caution: you might get shock with the amount of dirt it can deplete from your nose! :)


Next in line, Skin Whitening Vita Aqua Moisturizing Cream

This little tube captured my heart on the very first night that I applied it on my face. It is the only whitening and moisturizing cream that turns into real moisture as it touches my skin. The soothing feeling that it leaves behind is 
freaking awesome and kinda addicting! I can't stop touching my face after putting this on. My face feels hydrated, supple and refreshed! If you have oily skin and you are dying to find that perfect whitening moisturizer, go run out and grab this water-based cream! Look!





See the water droplets? I'm sure you will send me hugs after trying it out! It has the perfect combination of Mulberry Extract to whiten skin discolorations, Green Tea Extract and Vitamins A,C,E to protect skin against cellular damage and premature aging, Aloe Vera and Vit B5 for elasticity and firmness of the skin. Truly, this cream will suit all skin tones and all age groups. 


And lastly, Skin Whitening Facial Cream (65ml)

Perhaps, my second new love. It is a natural facial cream that gives you 3 benefits in one;- whitening, dual uv protection  and make up base. It is non sticky, very light and works really well with make up. I just wished that it was tinted enough to give coverage as well. This could be a potential blemish balm cream if it contained a little bit color. 


And that wraps up my love with my iWhite Korea tube babies! These little wonders come in sachets too so if you would like to try them first, you can opt to get them in sample packs. Do try them and let me know how you like them ayt? 


But before I let you all go, let me shock you with this pic!

That's me and bf waiting for our whitening pack and nose pack to dry (while watching Insidious, beat that!). Sorry for the lack of emotion, the pack has that botox-like feel, haha!
Anyhoo, I'm super excited to read all your comments!

If there is one lipstick that is getting all my attention this week, it is no other than Mac Crosswires. I have been wearing this killer non stop and with the humongous amount of lipsticks that I have in my collection, that is one peculiar thing. 

Crosswires (cremesheen) is a coral toned lipstick that adds that punch of color on the lips without being too loud. It is a very summery fun color which I intend to use all year round. It brightens up my face even with minimal make up on. I feel that I can just swipe this as I go and I would be totally fine. The color pay off is amazing and stays incredibly long on my lips. After a few drinks, this baby manages to leave a decent coral tint on my puckers. :)

Yesterday, I attended iWhite Korea Bloggers' event at Papa John's Greenhills. We were flooded with delectable food and graced with so much information on how iWhite Korea's products will keep our skin clear and vibrant! 


Presenting, the skin care regimen for a clean, clear and fairer skin!



(L-R: Moisturizing Facial Wash, Aqua Moisturing Cream, Facial Cream, Nose Pack, Whitening Pack)


iWhite Korea has a plant-base whitening skin care line that uses Bio-Nanotechnology to extract the core nutrients, making it more refined and potent. It has Mulberry extract, Panax Ginseng and Vitamins A, C, and E. I have been a user of their Whitening Pack and Nose Pack for quite a long time now and I am pleased to see that these little skin treats now come in tubes as well! I'll do in depth reviews about their line soon, so stay tuned for that, ayt? In the meantime, indulge me in sharing some of our fun-filled moments during the event!

For the month of June, here are the products that stood out for me!



1. Dr. Jarts Black Label BB Cream

I use this everyday because I love how it gives me coverage while nourishing and protecting my skin from harmful UV rays all at once. It is not sticky and dries into a semi-matte finish.

Hey lovelies, I am so sorry for being on a blog hiatus lately. I needed all the time in the world to prepare for my licensure exam that's why blogging took a little step backward in my priority lane. But now that that part of my student life is over, I am now back into the blogging atmosphere! 


Also, I celebrated my birthday last Saturday (which was also day one of my licensure exam, beat that!). Yep, that was one hell-of-a-birthday! And because  that event/exam depleted my storage of serotonin, I decided to treat myself with one of my favorite make up item - lipsticks! Don't worry, since I am planning on buying a new bag, I didn't go overboard and got three Nars lipsticks only (wink!).


My beauties!
