Celeteque Facial Moisturizer: Review

If you're a youtube subscriber, you'd know that this was once a part of my October 2011 Favorites, I just never got to write my review down. So for my readers (who aren't active in youtube), here's what I think about this product.




Pros:
- oil free
- feels light on the skin
- no scent
- easy to blend on the whole face
- inexpensive
- locally available
- a small amount would go a long way

Cons:
- none

Right now, I'm still looking for the best moisturizer. Although I don't have anything negative to say about the product, I still feel like it's nothing exceptional. So would I repurchase? For now, I guess not. I still want to try other products out.

Clean and Clear Essentials Moisturizer: Review


I wish to find the best moisturizer for my skin type. I have oily acne prone skin so when I look for moisturizers, I want one that's oil free. I was walking around Watson's one day and saw Clean & Clear Essentials Moisturizer. It claims to moisturize without greasiness for oily blackhead-prone and pimple prone skin (which is exactly my type of skin). Naturally, I had the urge to buy the product.



Pros:
- locally available
- inexpensive
- oil free
- no greasy feeling when applied
- nice scent

Cons:
- broke me out

Sadly, this is not the moisturizer for me. It instantly broke me out after a day of usage and I can definitely say my Celeteque moisturizer works better. I was thinking maybe I just didn't use it long enough and that my skin is still adjusting to the product. I used it for a total of 2 weeks and eventually gave in. The pimples just didn't go away. It even worsened as days go by. It probably didn't help that my hormones were acting up since it's that time of the month so I just had to stop using it. In conclusion, I think the product is NOT worth it and I definitely won't be buying again. I do have future plans of re-using the product once I'm pretty sure hormones are not in the way, though. So until then, this is what I have to say about the product.

Latest Drugstore Haul: SM Makati Watson's

Have you ever had the urge to shop for one thing and you end up getting a lot of things except for the thing you originally wanted to buy? I did. I wanted to buy a facial scrub for my weekly exfoliation mainly because I'm almost out of it. So after work, I went straight to Watson's and looked for a nice facial scrub to try. Here's some of the stuff I ended up getting instead:


  • Pure Beauty Soothing BB Cream
  • Pond's White Beauty Day Cream (this was actually given by a workmate)
  • Purederm Dual Well Being Pack
  • Belo Essentials Pore Minimizing Whitening Face Wash
  • Olay Natural White All-in-one Fairness Day Cream
I was really excited until I got home and I realized I didn't get to buy a scrub for myself! Haha! Anyway, I'm still really happy with the things I bought and I'll probably do a review on some of them in the future. Oh, and I wanna know which facial scrub, in your opinion, is the best cause I still haven't bought one until now. :p
