When I started wearing eye makeup, I didn’t know anything about eye makeup removers. I would use ordinary cleanser to remove eye makeup. Worse, there were times when I’d wash my face 2 to 3 times in a row to remove long-wearing mascara.
It took me a long time to break that bad skin care habit but thankfully, I did. I now use eye makeup remover to remove eye makeup and consider it a skin care essential. However, I have caused irreversible damage to my skin so I now have lots of fine lines in the delicate area under my eyes.

If you are having problems with acne and can’t seem to find a facial wash or cleanser that works for you, you might want to try Clean & Clear Active Clear Pimple Clearing Cleanser. I have been using the cleanser for a couple of months and find it really effective at drying up existing pimples fast, visibly reducing redness and swelling.
Clean & Clear Active Clear Pimple Clearing Cleanser is actually a facial wash in gel form. It’s main ingredients include salicylic acid which is effective at removing pore-clogging dirt, pimple-causing bacteria, and excess oils from the skin.

I love Maybelline New York. I have some of their eyeliners, used and loved their mascaras, think highly of the AngelFit Two Way Cake and the Clear Smooth Aqua Gel foundations.
But no matter how good and popular a make-up skin care line is, you can’t say you’ll find a true match in all of their products.

Even if I haven’t been blogging much here at Get Prettified lately, I never ran out of girly stuff to do. For instance, I continued to try out a couple of beauty products ( blog posts to follow, I promise) and went on trips to my favorite fashion thrift stores to shop for inexpensive fashion accessories.
Over the past few weeks, I have accumulated a small stash of affordable fashion accessories. And they share common attributes– inexpensive, pretty, reflects my personal style, and definitely wearable. I cannot afford to go on an impulse buying spree so even when it comes to purchasing designer-inspired fashion accessories, I think twice before parting with hard-earned cash.

Thanks to Donna Mae of Kikay Much, I am now a proud owner of another set of professional make-up brushes. She gifted me with a 15-pc professional make-up brush set because I helped her out a bit with her beauty blog.
Well, anyway, I am so happy with my new make-up brushes because they are conveniently sized for portability. The bristles, although synthetic, are not scratchy and are able to pick up the right amount of pigment. The make-up brush set also comes with a leatherette case designed to protect the brushes even during travel.

I have dark under-eye circles (due to lack of sleep and err, aging) so I purchased the Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On when they repriced it at Php199. I decided to try Garnier’s Eye Roller in the hopes of lightening my dark circles and lessen the appearance of fine lines under my eyes.
I use the Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On twice a day and with a very light hand, massage my under-eye area to promote circulation. The gel leaves a temporary cooling effect to the skin and I store the roller in the fridge for optimum results. (more…)

I have read about peeling gels like Laneige Strawberry Soft Peeling Gel and the Skinfood Pineapple Peeling Gel before and came across very good reviews about them. But despite the often positive reviews, I never thought of buying the products. Not that I don’t like Laneige or Skinfood. I just wasn’t interested in peeling gels in general.
Facial peeling gels caught my attention when a male friend wrote a review about it. He was all praises about the Cure Natural Aqua Peeling Gel and when he gave me a sample of the product, I became an instant fan.

It has been raining quite a lot in Davao City lately but that did not stop me from purchasing 2 pairs of really pretty hemp (or rope or abaca or whatever you want to call them) sandals from 1stopbiz, now one of my trusted multiply sellers.
The sandals are manufactured in Cebu by a company called Shewalk and I’m really happy with my purchase because the styles are really current and the workmanship superb.
