REVIEW: ZA 12-in-1 Total Hydration BB Cream UV White

Hello, Marvellous!!!

I am in the mood to give you all a review about my first ever BB cream- that is, ZA 12-in-1 Total Hydration BB Cream UV White. I feel weird saying that I am a shy virgin when it comes to BB cream because this product has been the "holy grail" of smooth, clean, korean-ish look. Am I the only one who just recently stepped into BB craze?

If you have been reading this blog, you may know that this BB cream is one of the four products I received from a blog giveaway. Before this, I am already planning to buy BB cream from other brand (Missha BB cream in particular) but fate led me to this one.

It has been years since BB creams penetrate worldwide beauty arena and a lot has been said about this wonder product. If I am not mistaken, almost all beauty brands have their own BB creams and most beauty junkies had tried multiple brands of BB creams already.

With ZA BB cream, I now understand the rave. I got this one from a beauty blog giveaway and I am just so glad I tried this one. I am now a BB cream believer.

Here's my 5 C's for ZA BB Cream

1. Consistency - Smooth, Breezy, Light. This has an amazing consistency that sits comfortably on my face. I don't like liquid make-up to begin with. But with this BB cream, I don't feel like I am putting liquid nor cream on my face. It really feels natural on the face. Love love love the consistency of this BB cream

2. Coverage - Lightens. Whitens. I can't say much about the coverage of this BB cream, but it definitely lightens my face. I actually like how it makes my face smooth and whiter. This has 50++ spf so that's a plus knowing that most spfs can really be so sticky and oily on the face.

3. Color - Bright is my shade which is a bit whiter than my skin tone but I actually like how it whitens my skin. It brightens my face without making me look like I piled a ton of foundation of my face.

4. Content - I'm surprised this small tube lasted for four months of everyday use. I use it for work, for dates, for church -- everyday. I thought it will only last for two months but surprise surprise four months and I still haven't had my last drop. Just wow.

5. Cost - I got this for free but if you want to buy this, spare more or less 500 pesos for this one.

I love this BB cream. I am planning to buy my second tube once I fully drained this one out (I still have few squeeze to go-- sayang e.)

That's all for now beautiful people. Love you all!

Bye!!!

Curly Find: Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse

Living in a country where straight hair rules, finding a good styling product for the curly hair is such a pain in the ey-ess-ess. For the past few months, I've been experimenting on different hair products, mixing and jumbling all sorts of creams, mousse, gels, etc etc. Product after product, layers after layers. I honestly sometimes feel like going back to straight hair is way easier and economical, than spending so much money on hair products, but then I do love my current buhahag hairstyle- I feel some sense of uniqueness and personality with this kind of hair- so I think I wold just go on with this journey and just enjoy every part of it. So, today, I thought I would share my experience with this Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse. This is by far, my favorite mousse cream for my curly hair. Let me tell you some of my opinions regarding this product. 1. SMELL - Oh. Goodness. I love the smell of this one right out of the can. This is...

Treats for My Skin Courtesy of Gluta

This is a long and overdue post about the free facial and diamond peel given by the lovely people of Gluta. I am not the one to get facials because I am not comfortable getting under someone else's hands. (This is the reason why I keep on coming back to the same hairstylist). But this is free so might as well try it. (Who doesn't want free stuff anyway?) The event happened last month at Gluta booth, Robinsons Manila. This is part of the launch of their Gluta White and Firm line, which according to the lady, the first product line that was able to produce all whitening products in just one launch (facial wash, lotion, soap, moisturizer, etc.) Gluta Advance White and Firm Products Now back to the facial, they first remove my makeup with a cleanser, then they further cleaned my whole face with another cleanser. Then, they also used a vacuum to further remove deep-seated dirt from my face. That vacuum felt like some kid was giving me little kisses. It did not hur...

My PIERCINGS- Accidents, Stories, Reasons.. etc.

Elow elow elow Dear Reader! So, today, I bought new set of earrings and I realized, I haven't really talked about my piercing experience. So, I thought maybe I should answer some common questions about my piercings and piercing in general. How many piercings do you have? As of the moment, I have a total of six individual piercings. Three on the left ear, three on the right. When did you get them and why? 1. The first pair was done when I was four or five years old. I remember my father bringing me to a little health center and telling me to just tilt my head and that was it. I don't have much to say about this piercing because it was like a "default" kind of thing - sort of a tradition or one of those mandatory things a girl has to go through- so nothing special in this pair. Also, I was too young to remember how it felt like. Too young to even comprehend. But I remember being happy having the privilege to wear such pretty gold earrings. I had the rest ...

Pieces of my Month: AUGUST 2015

Last year, I did some kind of a monthly gratitude list wherein I gather all images of important happenings in my life for that certain month. I never get to do that this year so I am planning to do it once more. It has helped me to become more positive in life even though I have been struggling with lots of things and that my life is too far from being perfect. Also, I want to realize that there are certain things I need to be grateful for because sometimes I am not able to see good things happening around me. So in accordance of my "coming back to blogging" thang and because this is also part of my birthmonth celebration, I am listing down some pieces of my August. Big part of my month is the celebration of my birthday with my family. We went to VIKINGS, a luxury all you can eat buffet. It was my first time there and I was just so happy to be with the whole family because I guess it was a rare chance that we get to eat out together as a whole. Being a Vikin...

Jazzy Collections Eyebrow Gel

I was doing a little stroll along beauty section when the sales assistant asked me, "Ma'am, ano pong nilagay niyo sa kilay nio, ang ganda kasi e, sanay na sanay kayo magkilay..." "Maam, what product did you use on your eyebrows? You are really good on doing your brows!" Truth is, I wasn't always this good with brows. I had my fair share of uneven brows, messy brows, overplucked, bushy, wrong shape, wrong curves. But by having those mistakes, I learned how to perfect my brows, I learned by doing, which I think is one of the most important thing when it comes to make-up. You learn every single time you do it. I still do mistakes from time to time, and I am still improving every single day, but I guess that's just the beauty of make-up. Sometimes, you've created a masterpiece, sometimes, you've created a trash... in that way, you enhance your skills. Okay,did I just became very sentimental about eyebrows? Yes, I did. Anyways, ...
