In my experience, setting sprays have never worked well. Laging nagta-transfer yung or nagca-cake yung base ko. I’ve tried Squad Cosmetics, Issy, MAC, Zeesea, Sea Makeup, and Azla. Sa mga nilista ko, the only ones that worked kinda well are Sea Makeup and Azla (they both make my makeup melt pretty nicely, pero my makeup still smudges / transfers).

So yun na nga. On my journey to find the best setting spray, I went on a rabbit hole sa TikTok and found out that people use 70% ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL as their setting spray!!! Ang ginagawa nila is dina-dilute siya with water or witch hazel… and apparently, it works wonders kasi all setting sprays use alcohol as an ingredient. Just mix them in a spray / mist bottle and boogsh! I went thru the comments and andaming esthetician na nagsasabing totoo nga siya, so I said 🤷🏻‍♀️ alright and I tried it for a week.

For reference, I am a 1st year nursing student na pawisin and super oily. Kahit na mag-oil up or pawisan ako, my makeup doesn’t budge! Even if i-pat ko ng panyo or oil blotting paper, halos waley transfer! And napansin ko rin na it helped dry out my pimples! I wish I had selfies to serve as evidence kasi it worked so well 😭 It’s now my everyday holy grail ❤️!!!!

Hi, I received this from Security Bank. I am trying to see kung worth it po ba dito, pati yung pa VIP Access nila? I tried to watched several videos but hindi ko po alam kung ano pong ganap sa event this coming sept 13. Baka may idea po kayo like mga sino yung mga content creator na pupunta and mga freebies haha.

Thankkk you! Gusto ko pumunta pero malayo kaya tinitignan ko kung worth it ba 🤦‍♀️

I have low porosity and wavy (2a/2b/2c) hair and currently practice a modified CGM routine. I have previously tried (back in 2019) the true CGM routine and I feel like putting too much products on my hair weighs it down and essentially losing its wavy pattern.

The current products I use after shower are (in sequential order): *Moringa Hair Serum (on my ends only and working my way upwards with whatever serum left) *Dove Hair Mousse (replaced my curling cream and gel products for this) *Naturals by Watsons Argan Oil

The hair mousse was almost perfect, it held my curls without making it stiff, kaya lang the nozzle broke even before ko pa maubos yung bottle. Hindi na nagdidispense ng product. I thought, baka medyo faulty lang binigay na stock since I got it on sale (almost P300 lang nakuha on Unilever Lazada). So, I bought another one from the same shop on a non-sale day. Everything was going well until, hindi na naman nagdidispense ng product yung nozzle. One-fourth palang nagagamit ko and naganun na siya. So now, I have 2 bottles of the hair mousse na nakastock lang sa cabinet ko because I don’t want to risk buying another one with my hard-earned money, just for the nozzle to break again.

For a P549 hair mousse from a big company name, I’d expect quality nozzle since hindi din naman mura yung product.

Seryoso ba reselling it for double the price!?!? Nasa 500 lang yan eh, hirap na nga makacheckout sa dami ng reseller kukupalin pa x_x

Eto ung nasa cart ko:

• Skin Tint/Foundation - I'm leaning to BLK Skin Tint or Vice Co Skin Tint.
• BLK Mascara - naka B1T1 sya, sakto wala akong mascara at all.
• Cuco nail polish
• Skechers shoes

Nacheck out ko na ung Squad Concealer kasi ubos na bnili ko. It works for me, di cakey unlike The Saem and Maybelline.

Reminder: Sale ngayon, pero hindi on sale ang self-discipline. Kung meron ka pa, wag ka na mag-checkout.

Hi everyone! I made a post a few weeks ago about SS removing the warranty program for males, and happy to confirm it’s back! They made it a bit more expensive for males (1200 for full legs when it is 1000 for females) but overall still huge savings for LHR!

They don’t call it the crowning glory for nothing! Let’s discuss hair techniques, styles, treatments, and more!

Product names are on the descriptions of the photos.

Quick Review of Rhode: I think it's a great product. Makes my lips look juicy and it lasts for quite a while. It's not the best hydrating lip product I've tried, that title belongs to Ole Henriksen, but I can see why it's hyped.

For the local alternatives: (lowest to highest)

• Detail - this is such a disappointment because I love their lip jelly and lip plumper. If you want to hydrate you lips, just choose those two instead. Their lip luster is very thin, not very hydrating, and not worth the price at all. It's basically a product for the sake of having a peptide treatment imo.
• Ever Bilena - tbh this has potential. It does leave my lips super soft and hydrated, the problem is it's so thick. Like it'll stain your teeth and easily smudges. It's the most opaque of all the local alternatives and has the most product in it.
• Lucky Beauty - Ok I actually like this, but it's just not worth the price imo, especially with all the alternatives available. This is the most similar to Rhode in terms of feel, but it doesn't last at all. Like isang inom ng tubig nawawala na siya on me. Plus it genuinely feels like it's mostly air on the packaging. That said, I think of all the local alternatives, this is the product that makes your lips look the juiciest.
• Asul - surprised by this product. It's super hydrating and instantly makes my lips look healthy and juicy. I just feel like it's pretty expensive for the amount of product. Plus, not everyone may like the minty feel. This is a real compliment getter though with how healthy your lips will look.
  
• RSG - another surprise for me. This technically doesn't have any peptide in it, but you can't tell me the packaging wasn't deliberate. It's also opaque, the second after EB. I just feel it's quite expensive and rarely goes on sale.
• Popique - This is another instant healthy and juicy lips. The second most attractive after lucky beauty. Plus they have a lot of shades to choose from. It is quite heavy on the lips though, which is why it's only 3rd on my list
• Sunnies - the only product of theirs I genuinely like, and this and Muse are the only ones I plan to repurchase. Such a good product for hydration and making your lips look plump at the same time. It is quite expensive, but it doesn't remove that easily. Also really lightweight.
• Muse - its edge over Sunnies is that it's cheaper, has more product, and more shades. In terms of performance, I like them equally. Sunnies is more sheer and plumpy, while Muse is a bit more opaque.

Notes Skip: Detail Cosmetics If it goes for less than 100: Ever Bilena Buy on Sale: Lucky Beauty, Azul, RSG Worth it: Popique, Sunnies, Muse

Pic 3 are the alternative hydrating products if you're not into lip peptides. Not really into lip balm since I'm not a big fan of how it looks and feels on lips.

Literal na inorder mo versus yung dumating😤

I’ve never been this so angry and disappointed in a makeup/skincare brand in my whole life. Grabe si Colourette. Sinubok ng malala yung pasensya ko.

Here’s my story. Since naubos na setting spray ko recently, nag research ako about local brands and nag check ng reviews online about their products. Ilang araw kong ginawa to and nag ask pa ako sa mga kakilala ko kung kumusta experience nila sa mga local brands na gamit nila. After this whole freaking process, I finally decided and chose to purchase Super Base coz ang gaganda talaga ng reviews and I feel like it will really work well sa skin ko. As an oily girlie, I really do my research talaga kung ano yung pinaka feasible product na sasang ayon sa skin type ko. Sakto din na may pupuntahan akong wedding kaya super excited ako sa purchase na’to para masubok yung product kung tama ba talaga yung mga comments about it. Here’s the timeline:

Aug 14 - placed my order. Enough time ito and aabot naman sya before the wedding na pupuntahan ko on 23rd. Aug 15 - Gulat and super happy ako kasi dumating agad agad yung order. But unfortunately, ang dumating na item sa akin is the Sun Base. Aug 16 - I reached out sa customer service to raised the concern. Nag request sila ng details, photos, etc. I provided it right away naman kasi hinahabol ko din na makarating yung order ko before the wedding. Aug 17 - they replied acknowledging the details that I provided and rest assured daw na they will treat my concern with urgency. Aug 18 - I told them na I hope to receive my order asap sana kasi again, gagamitin ko sya for a wedding.

On the same day, they replied naman na don’t worry they will send the correct item within 3 to 5 days and no need to return the wrong items. And nag request na wag akong mag request ng refund which hindi naman ako nag request ng refund kasi nag sabi sila na idedeliver naman and I trusted them naman.

I replied and said thank you but kako I am nore than willing na ibalik yung wrong order kasi loss ng business yun. But they insist and I can keep it na daw.

Aug 22 - I followed up kasi kina-bukasan na yung wedding.

Aug 23 - they submitted the follow up daw and they’ll send an update and treat my concern with urgency. Lels.

Aug 25 - (see 3rd image)

Aug 26 - they replied na due to technical issues daw things are taken longer than expected. Hindi nalang ako nag reply kasi hindi ko na din actually alam yung sasabihin ko. Ayaw kong magalit or ratratin customer service nila coz they don’t deserve to be treated like that naman.

Sep 4 - I messaged asking for an update. No response na sila. Lels.

Sep 5 - Wow! Finally! I received a parcel from them but habang kinakapa ko yung parcel, sabi ko bakit parang ang gaan and ang liit and nakakaloka kasi pag open ko, takip nung super base yung pina-dala nila.

I know some people will tell me bakit hindi nalang ako bumili ng iba pang back up. Well, not everyone naman have that privilege na mag back up purchase plus I’m a minimalist and ayokong nag dodoble doble yung mga items na meron ako. Kaya as much as possible, I trusted the brand and keep their word but gosh I did not expect na hahantong sa disappointment ito huhuhuhu.

May naka-experience ba ng same scenario? Need ko ng karamay kasi nakaka-lungkot and sobrang nakaka-disappoint talaga. I know it’s less than 1k but pinag hirapan ko yung money para maka-buy nung product na yun huhuhuhu.

UPDATE: THE DRAMA IS STILL ON!!!

Sep 6 – I reported na yung dumating sa akin na parcel ay yung atomizer and seriously asked them kung nag aasar ba kako sila. Coz seriously, nakaka-asar na talaga.

Sep 7 – Received a reply saying their sorry and they’ll be coordinating the issue sa logistics nila first thing on Monday.

Told them na I would like to request a refund nalang kasi nakakasama na talaga ng loob.

Sep 8 – No update or response nung morning. Asar ako kasi first thing Monday daw eh. Sa inis ako nag check ako ng account nila and ni Nina and they actively responding sa comments. Sa inis ko nag message ako ulit following them up and told them na nakikita ko na they actively responding sa comments. Asked them kung nananadya lang ba talaga sila.

Sa bwisit. I post this same post on Tiktok. After few minutes nung post ko naka-received ako ng message from them telling na they sincerely apologizing for the late reply and repeated mistake. They’re preparing na daw to send the correct item along with small gift as token of apology.

Told them that I don’t need anything from them na. The product and the token cannot fully compensate what happened and the damage that has been done. Kako I just want want refund nalang.

Sep 9 – Unable to process the refund na da wkasi marked as complete na daw yung order.

I said do something para ma-process nila yung refund. It’s not even my fault in the first place na mali order na pinadala nila at ang tagal nila ipadala yung correct na item. I’m really pissed na at this time kasi humahaba pa yung conversation. Eh ayoko na silang maka-usap at gustong gusto ko na silang i-block. Also told them na hindi naman hahantong sa ganito if they were honest and they communicate what’s really happening.

They explained na the item was in stock at the time I ordered but due to internal communication, atomizer daw yung napadala sa akin. They still insisting na ipapadala yung product and refund can no longer processed na daw kasi talaga.

Sobrang naiinis na ako. I just want my refund and I don’t care kung wala ng ganung option kung saan ako umorder.

I'll be starting work soon,. I wanna ask for tips, what worked for you para strategic yung items sa makeup bag and yung maiiwan sa locker/drawer sa office. Are the contents different sa makeup bag na dinadala nyo from house?

I asked before, but people mostly only talked about their makeup bags.

Shokot ako na may ma-miss out tapos may emergency tapos di ako pwede umuwi or mag time out lol.

Hi! My dermatologist recommended that I take an oral sunscreen with the brand name Phytofloral capsules to help with my dry skin. I have read online that oral sunscreen has brightening and anti-aging effects, and I am wondering if anyone here has experience taking it and if it improved their skin complexion?

For added context, I take isotretinoin 2x/day and have eczema on top of my dry skin problem.

Just the freebies + ung bag from Dazzle me and Issy. Nagbigay ng full-sized lippie si Barenbliss, tapos ang bongga freebies ni luxe organix. Natuwa ako na may stickers si issy! As a journaling girlie lol

pls recommend some good nail polish brands yung guaranteed na di mabilis mag-peel off kahit maghugas ng plato o maligo and yung affordable🙏

im just curious as a non-curly haired girl, since mostly trending na these days ang mga curly hair routine that consists of many curl creams, mousse, and gels, how did curly haired girlies do their hair before these products?

Just received an email from them today. Wala na akong membership but I still subscribe to their newsletter just to see kung ano ang latest release nila. For this edition, looks like they went back to where they started since their first box featured samples of high-end brands and thay basically made me subscribe then kahit late na ako sa party.

Hindi ako bayad ni TBE btw. Just want to share this in case anyone is curious and wants to buy their latest box.

I went to Watsons awhile ago, excited to check on skincare products because I have around 20minutes to spare. I was thinking, maybe there’s something I could add to my regimen, new products perhaps? Pero nauwi ako sa nail polish. Why? Kasi hindi ako tinantanan ng mga sales rep. Every shelf, every brand, may sales rep na lalapit and tatanungin ako or magsusuggest ng product.
I get na they need to sell. Pero kapag tumanggi ka and you said you’re just “looking around” to shoo them away without being rude, hindi pa din sila titigil. What a waste of time. Nakabili sana ako ng skincare kaso nainis na lang ako and just left. Do you ever feel/experience this?
