REAL TAN Browning/Tanning Oil Review

Hello Water Babies! this one's for us honeypies! :)

Today I will be talking about this Browning/Tanning Oil product which is LOCALLY made and its 100% Organic!!! YES to Organic.

hoooookaaay, so two weeks ago I heard that the store Aloha Boradsports is on sale so I visited their branch at Mall of Asia but I didn't plan to buy anything, I just wanted to drop buy and check out what products are on sale but unfortunately I didn't see anything that pleased my eyes, so I was on my way out I passed by their counter and found this box full of weird bottles, which are Real Tan Bottles! but its actually cute and unusual right?

Oryt! so I asked the sales person if this is product is also on sale but NOT. hahah :'))
but then I still decided to grab my own bottle(hihi)

 
Amount: 125 ML
Price: 895Php
Available at:
Aloha boardsports branches, Flow Shop,
Real Tan's Official IG account:(@iloverealtan)
**You can also send them your queries at Real Tan's E-mail account:(iloverealtan@gmail.com)**

What it says:
REAL TAN
ORGANIC BROWNING OIL

With Carrots, Coconuts & Coffee Oils

INGREDIENTS:
Organic Carrot Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Coffee Oil and Vitamin E.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:
- It's Organic!
- Cool Bottle Design
- Re-usable Bottle because its made of glass.
- also available in 25ml and 75ml for weekend trips!
- good product
- its effective!

A bit of Cons:
- The smell of it is really Coconuty everytime I apply it I can remember some food made of coconut the sweet ones. (I hope they'd put some pleasing scent if thats possible) but it wasn't that bad at all for me. but for some who might not enjoy the smell of the coconut this isn't for you.
- a little bit pricey for an oil (I think?). but an 125ml worth of oil maybe?haha not so sure.
- the bottle is a bit messy when you start opening and using it. 
(In that case you can transfer your Real Tan product on empty spray bottles or any bottles that you know won't be messy when using it.. If you don't have empty bottles available you might consider  Beabi Store they sell travel kits and empty bottles and more)

**Might Re-purchase again as soon as I finish my first bottle**

Thanks for taking time reading..

If you have questions regarding this product or want more updates just please leave a comment will get back to you as soon as possible...

ciao!

Twinings Tea of London Review

What's up Tea Drinkers!!!! this review is for you...
Now, i've been veeeeery curious about this "Twinings Tea of London"
every tea drinker is raving about this and I read good reviews about it.
so being an extreme tea drinker I decided to grab my own box.

okay I went to grocery and went thru the Tea Section and found this bunch of
Different brands of tea but of course I went for Twinings Tea.
Twinings offered different kinds of tea from regular tea to black tea to green tea to fruity teas, its too many to choose from.

Now, since I came for Green Tea I didn't really mind others I just focused on Green Tea. They have Jasmine Tea with FREE tea bag Holder w/c I almost ended up to but good thing I convinced myself to grab their Green Tea Collection instead.

 

When you open the box you would see "Preparation Instructions" which I find very helpful as a first time drinker of this Brand of tea I'm not sure how long should I stay the tea bag on my hot water.
Some tea says, you should keep the tea bag for 20 min. others would say it should be less than 2min. so it really depends on the tea you're about to drink; always check for that so you wouldn't over stay it cause if that happens it would really affect the taste sometimes its too bitter or whatsoever taste
//That's one thing you should always be cautious about when preparing your tea.. okay? :) alright!



This is their Green Tea Collection it has 5 Different kinds of Green Teas and 5 tea bags each flavor, that includes:
~ Pure Green Tea (light and refreshing)
~ Green Tea & Lemon (fresh and clean)
~ Earl Grey Tea (light and aromatic)
~ Green Tea & Mint (fresh and cool)
~ Jasmine Green Tea (delicate and floral)
Tea's are packed by group of 5s by its Flavor. 

with total of - 25 Bags of tea all in all.
Price/Worth: 219.50Php (approx. $5.02)
*Other flavor of teas would range from: 180Php - 250Php depending on the Tea Flavors.

Where to buy?
Available in major supermarkets nationwide:
SM, Market Market, Robinsons, Rustans/Shopwise, Landmark, South, Makati Supermarket, Cash & Carry, Hitop, Puregold (selected green teas) and Cherry. It is also available in Santi’s deli branches.
 

My Top pick on this collection would beeeee....***drum roll please....***


 JASMINE GREEN TEA. haha! 
& I would recommend before drinking the tea smell first the aroma of it it will give you extra refreshing feeling. :)

Go get yours guysies!

& please leave comments if you have any other flavors that can recommend I would be much willing to try or if some of you wants to request for other flavors review just let me know. :)

P.S. Twinings Tea is DIFFERENT from TWG Tea.

Thanks!

NARS Bronzer Review in Casino

 Hello Girlies All over the World! :)

So, yesterday I bought my new Bronzer from the Famous "NARS" in shade Casino and by the way I think every girl in this world have to own one not specifically casino but Nars' Bronzer totally worth the swap.

Okay to lets start!
 
 Now this is the whole thing I got from the store (Rustan's) from the Paper Bag, the Bronzer's Box & the Bronzer itself. Okay, I must say the Paper bag is really really nice it has Magnet so if you carry the paper bag it's totally sealed. 

Okay now let's Zooooom ze BOX!!
 FRONT
 
 BACK
 
 Okay now you can see here at the back part of the Box the actual price of the Product and the Ingredients of the product and where it is made of..

What Shade: Casino
How much is Nars Bronzer in the Philippines Cost?: 1,950Php 
Both Laguna and Casino Shade (approx. $45.34) Latest Price.
8 grams worth of product.
Where to buy NARS Product in Philippines: RUSTAN'S
 Where is the product made?: It's made in USA

Now Now let's take a look closely on the product
All photos Photos in Natural Light.
 
 

Bronzer's Case is like Satin Matte which not the usual packaging of Cosmetics & I actually like it, though I read in some blogs that they hated it cause if you'll mix it with your other cosmetic stuffs that goes out of the packaging it easily sticks to your Nars's Packaging(FACT!) it feels like it is an absorber. haha! P.S. Loving the Mirror!
 SWATCHES:
  For Light to Medium Skin Tones
 
 Left: With Flash ; Right: Natural Light

For Medium to Dark Skin Tones
 
Left: With Flash ; Right: Natural Light

Product's Pigment
 
 Left: With Flash ;  Right: Natural Light

When Applied on Bare Face
Lef: No Bronzer ; Right: With Bronzer

Pros:
~ It Actually goes well with all Skin tone types.
~ Not that hard to blend.
~ Has really good brown and red undertone.
~ Whole face Bronzer friendly.
~ Shimmer is like melting glitters just enough to give you a natural glow not a sparkly person.
~ This would really go soo WELL with people who has Cool undertones.
~ NARS Casino: one light slide of my brush on the product almost covers half of my face because it is highly pigmented but as I said it's not that hard to blend. *Not sure If NARS' Laguna is the same & I think Casino will last me quite long before finishing the whole product.
~ Good for contouring or if you just want to give your skin some blush, because of products Red undertone.
***Definitely! will re-purchase again.

Cons:
~ A little Bit Pricey NOW. 
*cause way back 2011 to 12 the price goes like 1,750Php-1,850(I read in some blogs), 
Now its 2013 its 1,950Php I guess every year they add a 100 more box on the product well what can we say "Good Products Aren't Cheap" right? (you just really have to save for it.)
~ NO MORE. I can't find any problem with the product even if I'm trying to find there's NONE..

 

So that's it for now Pretties!

Love,
X

REVIEW: BYS Bronzing Powder


Hey hey heeeey! :)

Uhm... sooo I've been very eager to buy my first ever bronzer since three weeks ago and
I wanted the NARS Bronzer BUT! im in a tight budget last week when 
I randomly visited the mall which leads me to drugstore products 
just because I was so excited to get a bronzer so I didn't mind what Brand should I get as long as it's bronzer and it fits to my budget at that time... 
Okay, so I went thru all the cosmetic counters and found the BYS counter which I felt like it pulled me because their counter has like gazillions of different products with NEON colors its sooo very attractive! Can you imagine a bunch of Neons?
so I tried their Bronzing powder right away, 
I tried first their #01 BRONZER W SUN-GLOD which is way tooo goldy(for me)
so I tried another one which is Darker their #02 BRONZER W SUN-COPPER when I tried it it was okay so I bought it!

This is the Product: I have this with me for almost a week now.


Product amount: 8 grams
Price: 368Php (approx. 8.55$)
Outlets in Phil.: Watsons and SM Dep. Store
Made in: P.R.C or People's Republic of China

Swatches:


 Pros:
~ Budget friendly.
~ Shimmer looks natural its like melted glitters.
~ Highly Pigmented
~ Ok for contouring.
~ Blendable.

Cons:
~ It's super powdery, like every time you slide a brush you'll be taking a lot of product.
~ I'm a bit oily the product will last me like 2-3 hours but the Shimmer: stays; Color: gone.
~ It has Orange&Peach undertone which is way too far to my skin tone so every time I wear this its like i'm fresh from sun burn or got slapped that my skin is in trauma, waaaay too orange Not Tan.
~ It breaks me out easily.
~ Not for full face bronzer.

All in all:
* this is okay for blush maybe? ahaha!
*Won't re-purchase.

so that's all for today Folks Ciao! :)
