My 2015 Summer Skincare

 Hey dears!

The summer has been a pain for me. Yes, I don't like summer. I don't like swimming in a pool, not even at a beach (I'll just probably take photographs and build a sand castle then go back in my room). I just don't like outdoor activities, but what I hate most is the heat! I'm always sweating and for some reason, my skin reacts badly when it's summer... I get breakouts! Ugh. 

But for this year, I was prepared! My skin was much better compared to previous years, which is great considering the temperature for this summer is higher. Anyway, I'll share with you the products I'm currently using. :)

For cleaning, I use these cleansers on my face.

I use this for cleansing in the morning:

Burt's Bees Cleanser (click the product name for my review)

And before sleep, I use this. It really takes care of the dirt that has accumulated throughout the day:

The Face Shop Cleanser

For the body, I'm currently using these Kala Milk soaps that was given to me almost two weeks ago. I like how it keeps my skin moisturized while it cleans. I like milk soaps and I hope you guys can wait for my review on these soaps. 

I also use liquid soaps with my loofa. I use the moringa scent from The Body Shop.

For moisture on the face, I use these Clarins products:

Vital Light Day and Vital Light Night and then to treat my dark spots from acne, I use the Vital Light Serum. It takes a while to see a difference on my dark spots but I think it works.

I also use the Clarins Toning Lotion as my toner. I was able to buy all these Clarins products while I was in the US for a vacation and they were on sale! Yay!

For my eyes, I use The Body Shop's Drops of Youth (Click the product name for my review).

And since I have acne-prone skin, my sister sent me this:

Perter Thomas Roth Max Complexion Correction Pads
I swear, these pads are the bomb! They are soooo effective! Hopefully I can post a more detailed review soon. :D

For exfoliation, I turn to these samples that my sister gave me. I only have one sachet left though. ExfoliKate really works great on my skin. (Click the product name for my review)

I also pamper my skin with masks! I am currently using two kinds of masks:

Borghese Fango Active Mud Face and Body

and

Dewins Q10 Coenzyme Mask Pack

I will review these masks soon. I already have the photos ready! Haha! The mud mask is for further cleaning and purifying of pores, while the Q10 one is more for deep moisturization and firming.

Of course, I have products that protect me from the sun!

Belo SunExpert for my body and I use these Bioré products on my face! :D

Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence (click the product for my review)

I have uneven skin on my face, arms, body, and legs. My legs are too pale so they look awkward when I wear skirts and dresses. I want to tan them a little and I'm happy I was able to see these products at half price:

I use the deep tan oil every morning when I wear clothes that exposes my legs. I then use the suncare milk on top to prevent damage and after the day, I use the after sun. Haven't seen the need for the cooling gel yet. :P

For my body, I moisturize it with The Body Shop's Body Sorbet. It's not too moisturizing but it comforts me because it cools the skin and it smells soooo good.

I also use the Robinsons Giant Sale Shopping Foot Lotion.

Finally, I use my The Body Shop Moringa Hand Cream to pamper my hands. I always draw and paint and since my hands are constantly exposed to chemicals, I use hand creams to keep them soft. Moringa is one of my favorite scent from TBS so it also comforts me when I smell the glorious floral scent!

And those are my skincare products for the summer season this year. I already reviewed some of them so you can just click and read the reviews for more details. For the other items I haven't reviewed, I'm trying to write my thoughts about them and I hope I can post them soon. :)

Have you tried any of the items listed? What are your summer essential products?

Cheers,

DAWN

Unboxing : Special Edition Belo Glamourbox

Hello loves!

It has been a very busy week for me. When I get home, all I want to do is go to bed and sleep. I can barely accomplish other things I want/need to do outside my work. But it's always good to end a week with a surprise from Glamourbox filled with awesome items!

Getting curious? Well, let's go ahead with the unboxing then!

It's the Special Edition Belo Essentials Glamourbox!

It's never early to be ready for summer! Be a beach goddess with these full-sized products from Belo SunExpert and Belo Essentials... And yes, all of them are in FULL SIZES!!! And a box is only Php 595.00.

As you can see on the above list, this was an awesome deal. I got 3x the amount I paid!

So here are pictures of each product included:

Belo SunExpert Face Cover SPF40 - Php 329.75

Belo SunExpert Body Shield SPF60 - Php 459.75

Belo SunExpert Transparent Mist SPF50 - Php 449.75

The three products above will be very handy this summer! Love the high SPF for everyday use! :D

Belo Essentials Whitening Anti-perspirant Deodorant 

Aerosole 140ml - Php 179.75

Roll On 40ml - Php 89.75

Have used the roll on before and it's good. With such an affordable price, it controls odor and sweat and didn't cause my underarm further darkening.

Belo Underarm Whitening Cream - Php 799.75

This is something I've been wanting to try for a few months now! I have been searching for affordable ways to lighten the UA and I've read forums that recommended this. Crossing my fingers that this will help my problem!

I'm sooo loving this box. It's my second box from Glamourbox this year and it's another awesome one (click here to check my first box of the year—Snoe box). The UA Whitening Cream alone is worth more than the amount I paid for. And they are all in their full sizes!  This is a really awesome deal! I can now forget the disappointment that is the January-February Saladbox I got a week ago. :P

And before I end this post, I'll just share a quick ballpen sketch of a flower. I drew this while waiting for our office meeting to start. :P

Cheers,

DAWN
