March + April Hauls

Hello guys, I noticed I haven't posted any haul for the long time, so I decided to post my haul for the last 2 months.

These are the things that I bought last March, which some were on sale:

Garnier Pure Active Facial Wash P150.00 (b1t1)

Garnier Light Whitening Lotion P169.00 (b1t1)

 I'm out of lotion, since I already emptied the two bottles of Garnier Lotions so I go back with my all time favorite Nivea.

Nivea Whitening Cell Repair P199.00
Nivea Whitening Deodorant P46.00

Since I am having a super duper weird skin breakout, I decided to use MaxiPeel Exfoliant which is the only thing that can make my acne disappear. (I will document my experience in using this soon)

C.Y Gabriel Papaya Soap P38.00

MaxiPeel Exfoliant Cream P53.00 (3 packs)

Maxi Peel Exfoliant Solution P60+

Since I use exfoliant solution I need sunblock and mild soap.

MaxiPeel Sunblock P47.00penshoppe
Dove Pink Bar Soap P24.00

Ugh, I really wanted to try the Oh My George perfume, but watson's doesn't have it pa, (bench outlet have it) so I decided to buy this Penshoppe body spray.

Penshoppe Body Spray in Fuchsia P85.00

I'm done with my Close-up White, so I switch back to Colgate Optic white, and hopefully I can review this one.

Colgate Optic White P52.00

Minute to Win it on Nivea Express Raider!

Hi guys! I am now officially back to blogging! March has been a good month for me. Though it was a busy month and the sudden change on weather, which I truly hate, there are some reasons why I still enjoy it. Just a week ago, I received a message and call from Nivea Philippines representative. I was chosen as one of the participants to Nivea Express Raid promo on facebook. I didn't expect that I will be chosen because I was thinking that my entry might get invalid because my receipt that I scanned and sent to them was almost torn apart and the print was fading. But then, it is still VALID! Wow! I've been dreaming to join that promo, I saw some of the bloggers who won the challenge.

To know more about the promo, check out Nivea's official facebook account here : https://apps.facebook.com/niveaexpressraid/ .

So yesterday, at Uniqlo Mall of Asia branch, the raid was held. I need to absent to work because the raid was held Thursday. I accompanied my brother.

How the game is played? Here's how:

 We will be given 60 seconds to shop clothes that worth 24,000.00. But it's not that easy because of the Secret Task: "We need to shop summer wear wherein tops and bottoms should match. Total number of tops should be equivalent to total number of bottoms!" Dang! I thought it was easy but the Uniqlo is very huge shop! Just by transferring into another section will take 5 seconds. And when your nervous, it is really difficult!

Here's the pictures from Nivea Philippines:

See how big the Uniqlo is.

From Left to Right :  

Yen, Me, Hannah, Love and Klarisse were the raiders. One of us will win! Who will she be?

With Ms.Raisa Mislang, briefing us about the challenge.

 Uniqlo has wide range of summer clothings. The clothes are so expensive for me so it was my very first time to visit the shop through Nivea! 

And the game started, look at me caught on the act!

I only got few items, I am really bank and don't know what to pick. We need to remember the secret task, failure to do so, might cause me to lose.

Here is Klarisse, grabe di ko maisip na kaya nya yan in 1 minute!

During the first round, I think Klarisse got the most number of clothes and me thinks that she exceed the 24k limit.

We actually need to repeat the challenge. Because after they check our items, they found out that no one got the secret task. One almost got it but she mismatch one top. Hmmm, they also told us that the one who got the nearest chance to win was very fashionable on the clothes that she picked. I wonder who she is? They didn't announce it, but me think that it was me. Kapal lang? hehehe

So after repeating the challenge, finally, the winner has been announced. And she is . . . . . 

Love!

You rock girl! I wonder how she managed to get the tops and the bottoms with the same matching.

Pang universe daw ang reaction sabi ng Nivea. I agree! Lololol

I super envy her! Hehe

 But of course, Nivea and Uniqlo doesn't want us to go home with empty handed. The consolation prize to 4 girls were P2,000 gift certificate from Uniqlo.

Though I didn't win, I still enjoy the challenge. It was fun and super heart pumping! I wanna join again!

Here's me with the other girls before we go separate ways.

Nagsisisi pa rin ako  until now, I should went to neareast area kesa nagtatatakbo dun sa gilid. Hahaha! So bitter! But anyways, here's what I got from my consolation prize:

I shop 5 pieces of clothes, 3 of it were on sale.

Shorts P390.00 on sale

Scoop Next shirt from their Airism line, P590.00

Premium Cotton Crew Nect 3/4 Sleeve P390.00 on sale

V - Neck Relax Sweater (for mom) P390.00 on sale

Men Shirt on sale P295.00 (for my brother)

I did enjoy it! The Nivea Staffs were so kind. It was a nice experience!So thank you so much Nivea, Ms.Raisa, Stef, Deb and others.

Congrats to Love and to other girls that I met.

And that's it. You guys also have the chance to win as express raider. Just check on Nivea Philippines facebook account to know more.



Have a nice day!

Review: Nivea Fruity Shine in Pink Guava

I am a big fan of Nivea lotions. I've been using it for more or less 5 years and I am very much satisfied with it. But I have't tried yet their lipbalms. Why? Kasi kuripot nga ako that's why I don't wan't to spend 80 pesos just for a lipbalm. Well thanks to Watson's because they usually have the 3 day sale on selected items. And one of it was the NiveaFruity Shine in Guava pink.

The problem: I have dry lips. Maybe because I am too lazy to drink plenty of water. Specially when I am at the office, the only time that I drink water is after I ate lunch. Yes believe it or not, I can sit all day with just one and a half glass of water to drink. We don't have water dispenser kasi here at the office (ang kuripot nila e). So why not give Nivea lipbalm a try since I bought it for almost half of it's real price. Keep on reading below if this product will solve my problem :)

The Solution: Nivea Fruity Shine in Pink Guava

Cost: P40.00 

(on sale) originally at P80.00

Where: Watson's Outlet

Shade: Guava Pink

 

Also available in

 I bought this on sale. And I've been using this from the very first day that I bought it ! That's how much I like this product :)

It comes with the usual lip balm packaging. It is made of plastic.

Product Description:

What the product promises:

 This is made in Thailand.

 It contains 4.8 grams and approximately 2.5 inches long (the balm only).

 Here's how it looks like inside:

 Really love it's cute packaging!

without flash.

 So here it is.

With flash.

Unlike the other product, this Nivea fruit shine contains a lot of product. You will truly get what you pay for.

 It has a sweet guava scent. And it taste sweet guava too.!

 The shimmers are very subtle.

Swatches:

with flash.

without flash.

Macro Shot.

As you can see, the color is very subtle. It has pinkish undertone.

On my lips:

 I have very dark lips, but still, it makes my lips a little bit pinkish, which I love!

It gives me a glossy finish but not oily nor sticky. Like when you glide it on your lips, a little goes a long way and it does not give you an exaggerate texture. It gives you a natural looking lips that looks so moisturized and smooth one!

This is now my HG lipbalm. I wear it underneath my matte lipsticks and during weekends when I want to have a makeup free face or when I go to the market.

So here's how it looks like with my EB Scarlet:

Wanna know the reason for my bronzing look? Will post soon!

Pretty Thing:

- Affordable

- Love the scent 

- Easy to carry around

- A little goes a long way

- It does not darken my lips 

- It contains a lot of product

- It really moisturized my lips

- Makes my lips soft & smooth 

- Cheap (because i got this on sale) hehe

- You will get more than what you pay for

Ugly Thing:

- Nothing!

Recommendation:

YES! I definitely recommend this to everyone, specially to those who are looking for a good lip balm but hate the feeling of having sticky or heavy feeling on lips. This is such a perfect product. Good for everyday use and for your matte lipstick.

I've been wanting to try this, and I've been seeing this long time ago, and I'm glad that I have this now!

Say goodbye to dry lips, and hello to smooth, and luscious lips!

How bout you guys, have you tried the Nivea Fruity Shine too?

Let me know through your comments!

Love,

JENNY

Watson's 3 day Sale : Haul

Hey guys! This is another haul post.

Last time, Watson's had their 3 day-sale. They have Buy-1-Take-1's, 10% off, 20% and 50%.

So for a cheapipay person like me, everytime na makakita ako ng buy1take1 it makes my ears tickle. haha.

Here's what I've got!

All this goodies for more or less P700

Rexona Powder Dry, tig-isa kami ni utol, kahit pambabae sya gusto daw nya kasi mabango and it doesn't make him sweaty. And I think okay talaga pag spray sya, less sweat nga, lalo na for me kasi super pawisin ako. Mabango talaga!I used to hate rexona deo's but this one is a love love!

Rexona Powder Dry B1T1 P149

Peppermint Mouthwash P12 (On Sale)

& Pepsodent Double Action P35

My favorite Nivea Goodies

 

Nivea Whitening Deo P42 (Small)

Nivea Expression Hydration P36

Nivea Whitening Cell Repair P129

I thought Buy1 take 1 din yung Lory's Hair Cream, yun pala Buy 2 for 295 pala (185 kasi each) so hindi na ko nakabili kasi limited si moolah, I only have P550 pesos to spend for this. So maybe at the end of the month I am going to buy that Lory's Hair cream since I am planning to have my hair straigthened this coming 15th of June (ang hirap kasi super buhaghag ba sa para na kong nagsusuper sayans). haha!

Dermaction Solution for Acne Prone Skin P32 ( on Sale)

Purbasari Body Scrub P79 (B1T1)

Really wanted to purchase body scrub since my skin has few patches and uneven tone, good thing this Pursabari scrub is buy 1 take 1, I am using this 2 a week and I really like the smell. I opted this for Asian Secret's Lulur, why? Just wanted other imported brands if they really works.

Sassy Nail Polish P17 & EB Ever Pencil P34

And there you have it!
A must have goodies that you can find at any Watson's outlet.

Thanks for reading

Have a nice day!
