A 5-minute Facial Using Only 2 Products

In this day and age, living in it comes with a lot of demands such as school, playing catch-up with old friends, focusing on your mental health, trying to eat healthy, budgeting the money that sometimes isn't enough for everything and updating your social media accounts so your family won't miss you so much. A day isn't enough for everything, sometimes a week isn't as well. Doing the things I mentioned lacks parts that I often forget to do or really don't have the time doing anymore such as getting enough sleep, exercising, checking for new products like makeup or clothes at the mall, having time for a new hobby, doing my skin care routine on a daily basis or (what might've caused all of this:) managing my time. Plus the things outside that contribute to how our moods will go every day like the weather (harsh sunrays) and pollution.

Now, I'm not complaining, I'm very blessed to have a life where I am able to do all these things with the hours, days, weeks, months and years that I have because I'm still so young. But I'm also not gonna deny that it does take a toll on me, number one: on my skin.

First, my skin goes through phases wherein I'm really oily on my whole face, and then it switches to having an oily t-zone and very dry parts on my face. Not to mention I have sensitive skin and is very acne prone. Also, I'm one of those people who stresses out a lot. Whether we like it or not, it contributes a lot to achieving healthy and young looking skin. I'm not saying "young" too lightly, being young comes with a skin with an elasticity which helps the skin always looking good as new!

Not gonna lie, I love watching and blogging about my skin care routine, but like I said, I don't have the time nor the patience to do it every single day. I have searched high and low for amazing products. I've jumped on bandwagons for face masks and toners that didn't really work that good on me as everyone said it did on them. I just wanted products that I don't have to use every single day that would still make my skin look amazing. Just in time though, Fresh came out with their new products for their Lotus Youth Preserve line. They added in their Lotus Youth Preserve Rescue Mask and their Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream.

PS: My lips have been very dry these past few days and you'll likely see them here but I'm taking care of that now.

fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Rescue Mask Seaweed Radiance Facial


The very first thing I noticed once I opened the packaging was the scent. It smells so fresh (no pun intended) because of its natural ingredients. It consists of a blend of kombu seaweed, red algae, and lotus seeds that gently refines the skin's texture. Fresh also claims that this mask is a multi-benefit, 5-minute facial in a jar that rescues, revives and recovers tired and overstressed skin from daily stressors back to its radiant and youthful complexion. I mean, it sounds like everything that we could ask for right?

So, it's talked about that this product gives instant results. Based on Fresh's survey:
97% said it minimized the signs of daily stress, including dull, rough and dry skin.
97% said it preserved their youthful-looking complexion.
100% noticed it created a clean, smooth canvas.





















On the back of the packaging, it says that you need to apply this on your face in circular motions and to let it work for 5 minutes.

The feeling that I experienced as I was applying this was first the scent was instantly relaxing. It helped a lot to make my mind chill as I was gently rubbing it on my face. It does sink into my skin quickly so I kinda use a lot of it. It also kinda tingles on my skin after applying but it would disappear in a few minutes so I just let my skin calm down before I apply more products after.

I would say that after I used it for a few times, it helped a lot on the dry parts on my face since it was kind of like a scrub because my face felt instantly softer after and made the dry patches disappear. This product also made my face feel so smooth and feel so clean. The cleanliness felt like it lasted the whole day even if I was out and about.


fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream with Super 7 Complex

Okay, I expressed my love for the face mask, but this face cream, I love it just as much (maybe even more). I mainly use this as a moisturizer. I use this product a few days in a week after I use the face mask, cleanse and tone my skin or before I apply my makeup on. Even if I go a few days without using it and dry patches start to show on some parts on my face again, I just apply this and it moisturizes my skin which helps to get rid of the appearance of the dry patches on my face. My face just feels hydrated and soft for a long time in a day or two.

Usually, I apply moisturizers only at night because the weather in the Philippines makes my oily t-zone look oilier than usual, and sometimes the moisturizers I used contributes a lot to the oiliness. This product did not exaggerate the oiliness on my face, it is not sticky and is very lightweight. It also dries up on the face faster or rather, it sinks into my face quickly, sucking up all the moisture this product gives with ease. The oiliness on my face still shows but it doesn't look out of control or excessive.

Applying this face cream before I apply my makeup provides a smooth canvas for my foundation and concealer. It does not make my makeup look patchy and my skin still feels so soft and smooth even after I applied my full face of makeup. So basically, it is something that is perfect to use to prep my skin for makeup.

This face cream claims to minimize or reduce the early signs of aging and like the face mask, and it boosts the skin's radiance. Being at a time where I could really feel the stress of the day to day activities, it is good to have something that would at least help me to still look presentable whenever I need it so much. Using this helps my skin to kind of like repair itself from all the lack of sleep, sometimes not eating healthy food enough and stress. The only thing that this product didn't help me with were the red spots on my face. I think it was just how it was, it never turned redder as I was using this product nor did it get lighter.

Would I recommend?

You might have checked these products out while reading this, and I know that these may cost a lot of money but something that I learned and is still trying to apply in my life is to not be cheap with myself. Having to do and work with a lot of things deserves a reward or treatment by the end of the day. The reward not only has to be something that reminds you of your hard work but would also help you with taking things slow and relax for you to concentrate on yourself and nothing else. Taking care of yourself is the best thing that you could reward yourself with. As long as you could afford it, I would recommend for you to check these out.

Also, if you are for whatever reason finding a late mother's day gift like me, then this would be one of the perfect ones to give for your mom and you to have a pamper session together in the comfort of your own home. Belated Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely and hardworking moms out there!

Happy Skin Express Gel Polish Review (Dreamer)

These days, I've been addicted to gel-like or gel-shine polishes. I don't really feel like getting actual gel polishes on my nails because from what other people told me, they cost a little bit more and requires a little bit more effort to maintain the polish and your natural nails as well. About a month ago, I found this at BeautyBar in Shangri-la and decided to test it out.

Price: PHP 249

2-in-1 base + color

No UV lamp needed

I actually feel bad that you guys are seeing my nails before I actually get it cleaned at the Salon, (I'll get it cleaned in 2 weeks or so I promise!).


Description Breakdown:

• ✔  - First of all, I cannot compare this to an actual gel polish because I personally never tried it, but I would say, this product isn't exactly chip-resistant, but it does last longer than a regular nail polish on my nails. I chip my nail polish a day (or even in an hour sometimes) after I get it done or if I do it myself. I felt like this nail polish felt thick once it fully dried so it could last me a few more days than what a normal, drugstore polish would offer. There are some few chips here and there but it would usually be at small spots on my nails. The shine finish does last long on the nails even if it's been a few days since I applied this nail polish on it. 
• ✖ - This really varies on how "quick" your quick is. For mine quick is like 15-20 minutes max. I often check my nails 15 minutes after I applied nail polish and for me, this polish did appear dry, but it still easily smudged when I lightly brushed it into a clothing piece or if I need to grab something, and it took me 30 minutes or so for this polish to really be dry on my nails even if I didn't put a thick layer on. Note that I didn't do anything special to get it to dry on my nails, I didn't use a UV lamp (because I don't own one and it doesn't need one as it claims), so I just let it air dry as I watch some youtube videos. This really doesn't have much difference with a regular drugstore nail polish in terms of drying speed for me. 
• ✔ - I'm the type of person who has naturally weak nails, I break them almost every second of the day. I wouldn't say that my nails turned uber strong when I used this polish, but my nails did not feel as weak as it did when I didn't have this nail polish on. My nails felt like it kinda thickened and it doesn't bend as much, so most likely, it's due to the Hydrolyzed Keratin ingredient in this nail polish. 

Additional Notes:

The smell of it is pretty much the same as any other nail polish, although it isn't as strong or what I would call would stink up the room, you could only smell it if you lean really close on the product. The 1st layer is a little bit thin so I tend to put at least 2 layers on each nail. The finish is shiny that it resembles a gel polish finish. The stains on the skin left by the nail polish can easily be removed by putting some acetone on a cotton swab and lightly rubbing it on the skin around the nail. The removal of this polish on my nails doesn't need any special technique or whatsoever, just the regular cotton pad and acetone and it's gone. Overall the color and the finish does look great, I do like those two factors a lot.


Honestly, PHP 249 is a bit steep for a nail polish price if what you're considering is the overall nail polish look. This nail look could be achieved with a similar shade on a regular polish and a really shiny top coat. The thing that I am liking about this product is the Hydrolyzed Keratin ingredient added to it. Like I said I have weak nails that break on a daily basis, so I need all the help that I could get.

Beauty Run at Watsons & Beauty Bar

I don't know about you, but for whatever reason whenever I'm out at the mall and doing some shopping, I always leave out the necessities aka basic things that I need everyday. So, I made a beauty necessities run at Watsons and Beautybar a few days ago. I then realized that I want to share what I typically get whenever I go to these shops, plus the new things I wanted to try out.

• Carmex

PHP 149.75 Watsons

I recently emptied out my Carmex lip balm which I use whenever I feel like my lips are chapping. It does its job whenever I put it on, it moisturizes and helps my lips restore itself to make it look and feel smooth. It's an easy solution for me whenever I'm having a hard time managing my chapped lips, so I just keep grabbing a new one whenever I empty the one I've been using. 

• Kojie san sleeveless READY deodorant

PHP 99.50 Watsons

I haven't really found a staple deodorant that I like or stick to, so I'm just trying out new things here and there. That time at Watsons was the first time that I saw this product, I'm familiar with the brand because I always see their soap but I never saw a deodorant. It says that this deodorant offers anti-perspirant, anti-bacterial, lightening and has 48 hours odor and wetness protection. This product smells a lot like soap that isn't overpowering and it feels lightweight on my underarms, like it isn't sticky at all. I would have to test it out a few more times to see if I really like it.

• Gatsby Powdered Oil Clear paper

Watsons

This one I feel like is a no brainer for me. I depend a lot on my oil control sheets every time I'm out of the house. I usually go for the normal oil control sheets of Gatsby but when I saw this which is the "powdered" version, I just wanted to try it out. From what I experienced based on the three times I used it, it isn't powdery but when I pat this on my face, it looks like I applied a really small amount of baby powder and it prevented my face from getting oily again for a few hours. So far I like it but then again I would have to test it out more just to make sure.

• St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Cleanser

PHP 199 Watsons

I was browsing through the face section of Watsons because I needed a new cleanser but I wanted to try something new and I was surprised to see that St. Ives has a cleanser. I didn't hesitate to get it for myself because the St. Ives apricot scrub makes my skin look and feel really smooth. When I got home, I did realize that this cleanser has some beads in it and it says on the back of the product that it is recommended to use for 3-4 days in a week, so this wouldn't really be an everyday cleanser. I've used it once and so far it made my skin really smooth, but I'll be using it a bit more just to make sure if I do like it and decide when I'll be using it.

• Penshoppe Sexy Shimmer Body Spray

PHP 199 Watsons

 Okay, so maybe this wasn't really a necessity but I like taking random photos and I have some ideas that may involve me needing this product. I have yet to try it and I'm excited to see how it will turn out in photos and in person. Nothing really much to say about this other than I am kind of obsessing with shimmery, dewy looks so we'll see if this product would let me achieve that. 

• Hollywood Fashion Tape

PHP 650 BeautyBar 

I am always struggling with my clothes not staying in place. I have used countless of pins, hair ties or whatever I need just to keep my clothes from revealing too much than what I have wanted. I get that I could just change and wear something different if I have such problems with the clothes that I wear, but sometimes I just need or really want to wear something and feel 100% confident and safe in it. I feel that this would help with that, so I picked it up and I will make a more in depth review of this so stay tuned for that one. 

• Happy Skin Express Gel Polish

PHP 249 BeautyBar 

In the past few months, I have not changed my nail color. I always choose my 2 go-to nail colors and I feel like I wanted a change of shade so I tested some gel nail polishes from Happy skin because they look really pretty and can be used without having to have a UV lamp. The shade I picked is Dreamer and it still kinda looks similar to what I typically wear, but still different. Also making a review of this soon but here's a sneak peek:

What are your go-to beauty necessities that you always pick up and restock on?

Product Empties || December 2017

I feel that emptying and clearing out my vanity is appropriate and much needed for the upcoming new year. This is me giving my vanity a "clean slate" as well because I have some serious organizing to do that I may need to get an additional shelf because one really isn't enough, but that is another conversation for another time. Right now, I'm just going to show what I managed to empty out and what I think of them.

• Cathy Doll 99% Aloe Vera & Snail Serum Soothing Gel

PHP 199 - Robinsons Department Store

For me, Aloe Vera feels really nice on my skin so I got myself a bigger size of this one and continue to use it today. I'm the type of person who is so lazy with my skin care routine that I end up just using this on my face which is just fine and works well on its own. It helps my skin feel and look smoother which is what I would call a pick me up product whenever I feel that I look like crap. I actually made a more in depth post of this along with some of my other favorite products from Cathy Doll right here. 

• Revlon Colorstay Foundation (Combination / Oily) 250 Fresh Beige 

PHP 825 - SM Department Store

I seriously adore this foundation. It has really good coverage and lasts me all day, even if I start to sweat which isn't obvious at all with this foundation because it is still intact on my face as if I'm sweat free. This foundation looks great on me in pictures and in person because it doesn't look cakey and goes on smoothly on my skin with just one layer, I didn't really find the need to keep building it up because like I said, it did have good coverage which I didn't have to worry to pack on so much concealer after applying this foundation on my face. I will for sure get myself another one and would recommend for other people to try it as well. 

• Loreal True Match Super-blendable Makeup Foundation (Nude Beige W3 warm)

(Forgot the price) - SM Department Store

Okay, If I remember correctly, I bought this foundation a year ago and I've been using it on and off all because I was trying out other foundations in between. What I would say about this foundation is the shade is perfect, I'm not kidding it looks like my skin in a bottle. At first application it looks a little bit yellower, but when it sets in for awhile on my face, it definitely blends in my skin.

Applying this with a thin layer wouldn't really offer much coverage, the only thing it may do is balance out your skin color or cover up the redness to make the face color look even. If you would like more coverage from this foundation, putting more product would NOT be a problem if you put a little bit at a time to build it up. It doesn't look cakey on me although the downside is my skin is extremely oily and this foundation doesn't really help with that because it doesn't mattify my skin. So it would end up transfering to my clothes or my hands a lot and would leave only little product left on my face.

Besides all those cons, what I like about this foundation is the shade and it is very lightweight. As long as I manage my oily skin with oil sheets or translucent powder, it looks flawless on me. I like using it when I'm running quick errands wherein I have to look presentable so I will still get another one of this for that reason.

• BENCH / paint box Brow Lasting Eyebrow Mascara

PHP 139 - BENCH / SM Megamall

I plan on making a blog post dedicated to all of my BENCH / paintbox makeup because I have a handful of recommendations from that brand, so I guess this will be a sneak peek.

I LOVE this eyebrow mascara, actually, I love this color which is Medium Brown. I tried out another shade which is Dark Brown but it came out a little dark and bold for my liking because I currently have light hair which doesn't really go together with dark brows. Anyway, this eyebrow mascara has been completing my look ever since I tried it. It helps me out whenever I applied a little too bold of an eyebrow pencil or if I'm too lazy or in a rush to do my eyebrows, I just brush my brows with these and I'm good to go. This eyebrow mascara makes my brows look fuller and neat because my brows are a little bit out of control with the hairs growing in different directions. 

• Maybelline Eye + Lip Make Up Remover

PHP 199 - Robinons Department Store

I feel like I've mentioned this before in this blog but I really like this makeup remover for my lips and mascara because it removes everything so easily. I don't have to keep scrubbing my eyes or lips just to remove everything which is super convenient for somebody as impatient as I am when it comes to removing makeup. It does leave an oily residue so I would recommend washing your face, cleanse, moisturize after using this product. Honestly, that is all that I could say about this product other than I already picked a new one up and would recommend anybody to try it.

• Dove Refresh + Care Volume & Fullness Dry Shampoo 

PHP 264.25 - Robinsons Department Store

Having colored hair, whether I like to admit it or not, I don't often wash my hair to maintain my hair color. Please do not hate me because of this but yes, I prolong my hair color by not washing it everyday, I only wash it like 3x-4x a week. So, I resort to the dry shampoo method. I've tried about 3 other brands of dry shampoo and so far, I like this one the best.

My hair gets oily really fast and I'm not exaggerating because I experience my hair getting oily only 9 hours after I washed it.  This dry shampoo does leave a little white mark but it isn't really a problem if you blend it well on your hair. This product smells so good and definitely removes the oiliness off my hair. Not to mention it helps a lot with styling my hair because it adds volume to my hair which I like a lot because I love big, bouncy and puffy hair from the roots. I've gone through 3 of these already for the past few months and I already have a new one that I'm currently using. I will have to restock on this soon.

• Cream Silk Standout Straight Leave-on Cream

Watsons

I honestly could not remember the price of this product, but I'm pretty sure that it is less than PHP 100. I really don't use this all the time due to my laziness. Seriously, I have such a long routine that whenever it's time to put this on, I'm just exhausted or rather, I want everything to be done already and I'm dreading to put more things on myself.

I find this product to be very useful whenever I have to go on long commutes / have to ride public transportation. This prevents my hair to be too tangled and "crusty" from pollution and leaves it feeling so soft and smooth.

The only thing I dislike about this leave-on cream is the product doesn't come out easily. I'll have to keep pressing it and dealing with its fart like sounds until I could finish up the whole thing. Also, each packaging doesn't have that much product inside so I empty this out way too quickly than I hoped for. I also do not use a lot and only use this at the tips of my hair because if I apply so much of it and all over my hair, it would make my hair look flat and "oily-ish". Other than that, I still use this and would also recommend for anyone to try.

I've emptied out more products for the past few months but I forgot I do these types of posts and threw most of them away already before I could post it. So I'll have to remember to keep saving stuff and take pictures and notes before I throw it away. I usually empty out products even if I dislike them (if I wasn't able to give them away) because I feel bad for spending money on them. So you could expect more of these types of posts from me soon.

Two Things From Too Faced

For years of being a beauty junkie, I have always heard of the brand Too Faced. It is currently being known for its incredibly cute packaging and having a range of amazing quality beauty products to go with it. People have been raving on Too Faced products left and right that it could get overwhelming to choose which one to get first. I have to admit that the packaging of each product made me want to get every single one because other than me using it on my face, it would work so well as a vanity decoration (they are seriously so cute!).

Since there isn't any physical stores near my place, I browsed through Sephora PH and read about people's experience with each product to help me decide which one I should get and try out. Took me a little while but I decided to get 2 things from there.

Too Faced Chocolate Bar
PHP 2,928

It does smell like chocolate! When I first heard about this product smelling like chocolate, I was a bit skeptical because how could a product actually smell like that? Not gonna lie, I found myself popping this open whenever I see it just to get a whiff of the chocolate scent (Shh!). I do like that they finally included the name of each of the shades on the actual palette rather than having to keep the paper where you'd have to place it back on the palette to figure out each shade's name. It seriously bothered so much people that I'm glad they listened to their customer's requests.

For the actual product, the shades are all neutral which is quite easy to pair up with almost any look that you're going for. The colors are a mix of warm and cool tones, each one looking good with the other that you'll most likely be using every single shade. The pigmentation is good since you won't have to worry on going too overboard when you try to build up the color.

Some personal favorite shades of mine would be "Salted Caramel" because it looks so peachy that it almost looks natural whenever I apply it on my eye lid. "Triple Fudge" looks amazing when I smudge it on my eyeliner on the top and bottom because it makes it look softer around my eyes. I like to add "Marzipan" right in the middle all the time because it makes my eyes look bigger and more awake.

Too Faced Sweethearts Bronzer
PHP 1,618

This bronzer is both a shimmery cool bronzer and a shimmery warm bronzer. You could use either one but mixing them both on your brush really does create that very natural looking flush to your skin which makes it look radiant. I like how this looks subtle on the skin that when someone looks at you, they realize that you did something to your look but can't pinpoint what because of how glowing it makes your face look. The only shade that they do have at the moment is Sweet Tea which I think is the perfect shade for fair skinned people like me.

Unlike the Too Faced Chocolate Bar, this doesn't really have a scent to it other than what I feel how bronzers usually smell like. The packaging is a teal colored heart which I am so obsessed with since it gives my vanity that extra touch of decoration,  although I do feel like it is kinda too bulky for traveling purposes.  The longevity isn't really a problem for me which impressed me considering I live in such a humid place where makeup could practically melt off of your face at any minute. It stayed in tact without me having to retouch it.

Haul: 2358, Cathy Doll, Human Nature & More!

With everything that's going on (uni / school, reorganizing the house, getting set for Halloween), I had a little bit of free time this week so I managed to go to the mall with my brother and just chill, walk around, eat and shop a little. I was able to actually take my time at the beauty section and pick out some products that I need and have been wanting to try out. Also, I was pretty much on a budget because I practically spent most of my money to buy myself an iMac to which if you have not read about that yet, check it out here. So, let me show you what I spent practically what I had left to spare... (lol)

I first visited a store called 2358 at Sta. Lucia Mall. I'm not exactly sure if that's the correct name but I did manage to find their website which is here if you wanna check out more of their stuff. I picked up this Dear Darling Tint in the shade 05. It was actually a toss between this or the really red one but I don't really feel like wearing red these days so I picked this one. It costs PHP 99. I was always a fan of tints so I'm pretty excited to try this one out.

Next I went to Robinsons Department store. My main purpose was suppose to check out their homeware section because they always sell some pretty dope stuff. Though they didn't really had anything new or that actually attracted me to purchase so I moved on to the beauty section. 

I've always seen the Cathy Doll stall everytime but I never really got to check out their products because I was just always passing through. This time I took my time on reading about what they got and I found something interesting which is their Acne solution + foam cleanser. It says it is for anti acne, for sensitive skin, oil control, brightening, spot remover and has tea tree serum. I only got the small pack ( PHP 18) because I do want to just test it out first before actually having to commit to the bigger sized one. I gotta admit that I should've bought at least one more because I wouldn't really be able to tell much difference with just a few uses but we'll see.

Nichido cosmetics tru lashes, eyelash adhesive (PHP 60), I decided to wear false lashes again but I ran out of glue so I picked this one up because for me, this is just the best false eye lash glue for it's price that I've already tried. So if you're looking for one then go get yourself one of these because they actually do their job. 

Careline Pimple Concealer (PHP 95) I haven't used this concealer for I think about a good 4 years? I actually used to love using this thing for my undereye circles but for some reason I stopped using it. Anyway, I picked it up again and I noticed have a new packaging, one that has donuts on it so let's hope that it's still a good product.

Maybelline Eye + Lip Make Up Remover ( PHP 199). As much as I love using my Purederm Makeup Remover Wipes, it does have a habit of giving me a harder time to remove waterproof eye makeup so I decided to pick this one up and hopefully it would work because it would save me a lot of trouble. 

Last thing that I got is the Human Nature 100% natural sunflower beauty oil (PHP 174.75) and it claims to visibly diminish the appearance if dark spots, pimple marks, dark underarms, and helps soothe tender, irritated skin. Idk, it just really looks promising that I so badly wanted to try it out myself. If it's any good, I'll let you guys know.

So I guess that is all, not really that much but trust me, I had to calm myself down because it has been awhile since I got to shop for some actual beauty products and not just necessities. I'm excited to try most of them out and I'll update you guys if any of them worked great on me.

Until the next post,

6 Favorite Daiso Finds

I don't know about you, but Daiso is definitely a store where I could spend about an hour at by just browsing through all of their stuff and trying to find some uses for each one. Seriously though, they have almost anything you never thought that you would need or maybe something that's a cheaper alternative to what you actually want. 

Walking out of a Daiso store empty handed seems almost impossible from what I witnessed except for maybe when you already bought everything you needed from there. Though you gotta admit that sometimes, it's a hit or miss. Sometimes what we end up buying just isn't upto par with what we expected it to be, it's not even that but Daiso definitely gives you that mindset that "oh, this is cheap" and you end up grabbing a ton of things to have a very expensive bill when you check out at the counter. With that, and to save some of you from all the money and trouble, here are my all time favorite purchases and what I would recommend you get from Daiso:

• Slippers

I have been looking for a pair like these for awhile now. I do know that Birkenstock has them but I did wanted something where the price is a little bit cheaper. Then I went to Daiso and saw these for PHP 88. I wasn't aware that the sizes were a size bigger than usual since I am pretty sure I'm a size 37 but these are kinda big on me, and no, I wasn't able to try them on before buying them because I had shoes and socks on at that time and didn't really feel like taking them off especially with so many people around that aisle too. But hey, it still looks nice, it is a little bit uncomfortable during the first time I wore them but after awhile, it felt okay to wear when you have some quick errands to run and you just need something to slip on that looks good. 

• Divider

I'm pretty sure everybody's aware of this because this has been selling out on so many Daiso branches near my place. Basically it helps you separate everything but still keep them all in one place (if that makes sense). This is for you to organize things inside of your drawer or maybe a lipstick holder like what I do. 

• Clock

This little thing is what me and my mom have been trying to find everywhere. We did manage to find something exactly similar at a store in SM, but they sell it for PHP 1099 and this little guy in Daiso was only PHP 188. It's also an alarm clock (and I could tell you that it's very loud) and has a light switch that you can press if you wanna know what time it is when you're in the dark. 

• Portable fan

It's just so hot here in the Philippines-- that when you are out and about, you can't help but fan yourself because you are just constantly sweating. I found this on Daiso and you just need 2 AA batteries for it and you can carry it around. Pretty much a life saver. 

• 5 in 1 Beauty care massager

This is another product that has been selling out on all of the Daiso branches. I use this mainly for massaging my face and cleansing my skin. It has 5 types of brushes, 1 crude polish accessory to rip the tough skin and cutin off, 1 latex soft sponge for eye, cheek massaging, 1 make-up sponge to massage and clean your skin, 1 rolling massager to make better blood circumstances from skin aging (I always use this one) and 1 soft brush to clear up all the scurf clings on the surface (which I use to cleanse my face). This on'es price is PHP 188 and just needs 1 AA battery. 

• Brush cleaner

Most beauty enthusiast that I know of have tried and loved this product because it definitely does it's job on cleaning out your makeup brush thoroughly. Plus, it's only PHP 88 and it smells nice. I actually made a review on this so if you wanna check that out, click here.

So those are all of my favorites from Daiso and if you have any recommendations for me to get from that store, leave a comment below and tell me if you've tried out any of the things I mentioned.
