Nivea Extra Whitening Cell Repair Deodorant


 What the product says:

 REPAIRS, TIGHTENS & WHITENS UNDERARM PORES IN 2 WEEKS.

Who is it for?

Plucking and shaving can make underarms pores rough and dark. But women want to wear whatever they want and do whatever they want without worrying or having to feel conscious about anything. So, for women who want to feel confident to flaunt their underarms, it helps to have NIVEA Extra Whitening Deodorant, which is specifically designed to smoothen and whiten underarm pores.

What does it do?

NIVEA Extra Whitening deodorant with 2x Licorice Extracts, Witch Hazel and Avocado helps to boost skin’s self-recovery and whiten dark and damaged skin to give you visibly smoother and fairer underarms in just 2 weeks.

Recommendation for Use

Use daily to repair, tighten and whiten underarm pores.

 So What do I think about it?

 I've been using this for the past 2 months.
It really does protect my underarms from odor and sweating. No more awkward moments when I raise my arms. :P
I like how it smells. It isn't overpowering and the scent lasts long.
I barely see any difference in the whitening department BUT at least it doesn't cause darkening at all. I never experienced irriatation and I find my underarms look smoother... no more chicken skin! Haha! :)

Available in:
 Extra Whitening Roll-On 25 ml – Php 50.00
Extra Whitening Roll-On 50ml – Php 89.00
Extra Whitening Stick 40ml – Php 155.00
Extra Whitening Spray 150ml – Php 170.00

I do have much ♥Love♥ for this product but I'm still looking for a cheap method of effectively whitening your underarms. I'm desperate! Any suggestions?



Cheers,
DAWN

EOTD: Chinita Eyes

 Kung Hei Fat Choi!!!

It's the year of the black water dragon!

Our fridge is filled with Tikoy! Haha!

And since it's the week of the Chinese new year, I decided to make my eyes look like a chinita's (hey, i do have like... 1/8 Chinese in me).
I know a lot are obsessing on making their eyes appear bigger and rounder, but that's just not my style. Hahaha. I like experimenting and here's what my eyes looked like today:


 Tadaaaaa!!! 

How did I do it? It's simple!

 Using a liquid liner, I lined my top lash line but starting at the center outwards. I didn't put any on the inner corners of my eyes because it would just make my eyes look rounder.
And I used a black pencil liner and also lined my waterline but I also stopped at the half of my eyes. I used neutral toned matte eye shadows. :)

 And since it's me, It has to be thick. I like thick liners. But this also works with thinly applied liners. :P

And check out my lashes! They are super long and not clumped together. 
It's all thanks to my new mascara -- Max Factor False Lash Effect.
I'm super in-love with it!
Gonna make a review about it soon so stay tuned!



Cheers,
DAWN

Review: E.L.F. Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter

 Hi folks!

Here's a review of one of the things we bought because of the sickness that almost every beauty enthusiast has -- impulse buying.
The product is cheap so it was easy for us to do a purchase.

So here's a little something about the product:

 E.L.F. Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter

What the product says:
 

 Ingredients:

 Both the concealer and highlighter have doe foot applicators

 The consistency of both concealer and highlighter are creamy. 
They can be easily spread and they dry fast and are not sticky.

My under eyes without the concealer and with concealer

The product is a bit lighter for me but it really concealed the dark areas under my eyes. It's also matte and I didn't experience any creasing.

 and in this picture I applied the highlighter above my cheekbones. Just a few mm below my eyes (eye bags actually, haha). I barely see any difference. And personally, I prefer powder highlighters.
I also tried it as an eyeshadow base but I still experienced some creasing from my eye shadows. I will stick with eye primers I've used like UDPP and Etude House Proof 10.

What I like about it:
  • Conceals the dark areas under my eyes
  • Very light on the skin
  • Non-sticky
  • Matte finish
  • No creasing or caking
  • Inexpensive - Php295
  • Locally Available
  • Has Vitamins A and E, etc.

What I don't like about it:

  • I don't really see much effect from the highlighter

That's it! So will I buy it again? No. I don't find it necessary. We just wanted to try it out. We don't have much to complain about it but we don't love it that much either.
