For sure, you ladies already know that Benefit Cosmetics is already in the Philippines, since its soft launch last December. I had the opportunity to take a sneak peek at them goodies.

I’ve been a fan of Benefit since I owned one of their best selling products the first time — Benefit Dandelion. I also love the cult favourite, Benetint. In fact, I bought a Pocketpal (Benetint + Transparent Gloss) during my first visit in Singapore. I’m so happy that they finally set their first ever flagship store in Greenbelt 5, since I don’t have to buy Benefit products elsewhere. I used to get mine abroad, either by going to Sephora or ordering online; both of which is quite expensive.

Back at the launch, I was able to taste one of these yummy cupcakes, featuring BeneBabes Simone, Gabby and Betty amongst others.

I couldn’t resist touching these scintillating thingies!

To my surprise, prices here in the Philippines are way cheaper than that of Singapore’s. As told by the brand manager, they keep the prices aligned with Hong Kong’s. By definition of cheap, I can’t say that they really are affordable. Prices range from Php 900 – 3000, which is a bit steep for someone who’s on budget. But, comparing to prices in other countries, I should say that I’d rather purchase Benefit in Manila anytime of the day.

I went to Singapore just recently, and didn’t mind shopping for Benefit since I got what I needed (and I’m more likely to shop in Manila). Thank you very much Benefit Philippines for these goodies.

Benefit Stationery, Brow bar gift cheque, b.right moisturiser, Benetint & Brows a-go-go.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t use my gift cheque since I’m currently out of the country. But, but, I brought with me two of the coolest loots I got: Benefit Benetint, a lip and cheek tint that I religiously use, and Brows A-go-go, a nifty brow colouring and fixing set.

I’d love to post separate reviews of each products in the future, as soon as I have more time to do so. xx

Sometime last October, Tony Moly Philippines held a makeup event, which I was fortunate to attend. I remember being sick at that time, but braced the under-the-weather feeling and went still.

Despite coming in very late, I was able to catch a glimpse on the event highlights:

Tony Moly’s Korean makeup artists, Yoon Eun Mi and  Cha Duhee, did a makeup demonstration using the brand’s latest products. Dubbed as Disco Diva, I’m sure you already have a clue on what type of look they did.

Korean Makeup Artists Yoon Eun Mi and Cha Du Hee with their models.

‘Twas really interesting to know how a nighttime, party-ready makeup can still look fresh and effortless. I guess, Koreans have a knack for keeping things simple, as evident on their TV Dramas where celebrities pull off a makeup-no makeup look.  Blame their genetically flawless, pore-less skins for it.

To add, the model on the left was just wearing BB cream as base, which fit her ‘coz she really has nice skin. Pardon for the bad lighting. I still have yet to invest on a good external flash.

Look closely.

*Frustration ensues*

Some of the newest products introduced were the Backstage Self Smoky Eye Collection (duo-eyeshadow palette with gel eyeliner), Floria Bloom Ball Busher, and IntenseRepair Live Snail BB Cream.

The latter piqued my interest. I’m not sure at first if the BB Cream had live snail extract in it, but the name took me by surprise. Apparently, it listed Filtered sail slime as one of the product ingredients. Now, that really made me afraid to try, but curiosity overcame me so I took a swatch on my hand. Luckily, it didn’t turn into “snail skin”. I found the grease-free, almost matte finish really nice, btw.

I wish I had something like this at home, but who am I kidding? I currently live in a tropical island (think of Boracay, just bigger) where thick makeup would turn into paste after a few hours of staying under the scorching heat.

Spotted another blogger, makeup artist Marj.

I tagged along Nika, ‘coz I know she’d enjoy this. Also took a snappie with one of my favourite beauty bloggers, Martha.

Having a good skincare and body care regimen is a woman’s not-so-secret basic cheat sheet to a healthier, better looking and more hygienic you; and being a man is no exception.

Need not to fret guys, ‘coz it does not entitle you an instant metrosexual award (or should I rather call it as “stigma”) if you own a facial wash/shaving cream, moisturiser and a deodorant. Rather, it just proves how hygienic and conscious you are on your well-being, which earns you a gold star from the ladies.

NIVEA brought something new made especially for the gents: a deodorant especially formulated to fight odour-causing bacteria and a skincare line that specifically targets oily skin problems.

NIVEA FOR MEN Silver Protect Deodorant

It’s not surprising that men sweat more than women, and obviously are more prone to body odour. This also means that they have more bacteria in their underarms –- one centimetre of the skin could be occupied by a million microscopic bacteria that cause body odour!

NIVEA FOR MEN Silver Protect Deodorant draws its the antibacterial power from silver ions and fights body odour by targeting its cause, hence stopping body odour before it emanates. It gives you the round-the-clock protection,  so you don’t have to worry applying again and again through the rest of your day.

Albeit tough on bacteria, it promises to be mild and gentle to the underarms. It also comes in a dry, musky-woody scent that smells so masculine.

Available in:
25 ml roll-on – Php 55
50 ml roll-on – Php 95
40 ml stick – Php 160
150 ml spray – Php 180

NIVEA FOR MEN Multi Effect 8 Facial Wash & Moisturiser

Having an oily, acne-prone skin is a challenge for ladies like me, more so for guys. Men are also capable of having hormonal imbalance, which can lead to nasty skin problems such as excessive sebum (oil) production, comedones and zits.

NIVEA FOR MEN Multi Effect 8 is the newest skin care range that promises to fight the 8 main problems of oily skin:

1. Excessive Oiliness
2. Oily Shine on Face/Skin
3. Enlarged & Clogged Pores
4. Dry skin feeling after cleansing
5. Uneven & impure look
6. Formation of blackheads
7. Formation of whiteheads
8. Acne

Each contains Carnitine, Salicylic acid and encapsulated Lactic Acid that control and reduce oil production and prevent skin impurities such as blackheads, whiteheads and pimples. Magnesium Chloride, Hydramine and Algae Extracts moisturise the skin, whilst Elastomer allows these ingredients to be quickly absorbed by the skin, giving it a smoother feel thereafter.

It comes in two variants:

NIVEA FOR MEN Multi-Effect 8 Face Wash cleanses and preps the face prior to skin care application such as the toner and moisturiser. It’s recommended to use once to twice a day.

Price: Php 139 for a 100ml tube

NIVEA FOR MEN Multi-Effect 8 Moisture Gel can be used during the day and night as a moisturiser without the greasy feel.

Price: Php 199 for a 50 ml bottle

NIVEA FOR MEN is available in leading supermarkets, department stores and drugstores nationwide

Tony Moly has a bevy of latest releases, and I’m equally excited and giddy as you are to get up-close and personal with these products.

Tony Moly Shiny Foot Baby Skin Heel Patch – Php 178 & Luminous Pink Heart Makeup Starter – Php 58

Rich in jojoba, eucalyptus and tea tree oils plus the moisturising benefits of cocoa butter, Tony Moly Shiny Foot Baby Skin Heel Patch helps prevent dry, cracked heels, and keeps them soft and well-moisturised all day.

On the other hand, Tony Moly Luminous Pink Heart Makeup Starter works like a priming mask — with AHA, BHA and collagen to nourish and exfoliate the skin — prior to makeup application. The heart-shaped pink dot is the exfoliating part that removes dead skin cells, whilst the embossed side deeply moisturises the skin.

Tony Moly Berry Lovely girl Heart Lip Palette – Php 448

Tony Moly Berry Lovely girl Heart Lip Palette contains 5 luscious lip colours in pinks, nudes, reds and corals stashed in a pocket-sized transparent compact case with a tiny lip brush included. It reminds me of my old Barbie tinted lip gloss palette (yes, I’ve been very interested in makeup ever since).

Tony Moly Lovely Girl Eau de toilette 30ml – Php 748

Tony Moly Lovely Girl Eau de toilette has crisp floral top notes, making it ideal to wear during daytime. The scent minds me that of CK’s.

Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar – Php 278

Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar is rich in fruit extracts and Vitamin C that moisturises and hydrates chapped lips. It comes in 6 yummy flavours (stawberry, grape, orange, peach, cherry and apple). I got mine in Strawberry.

Inside

I tested it, and it’s just like an ordinary lip gloss sans the tint. Might as well give it to my younger cousin, since I’ve tons of lip glosses and balms already.

Tony Moly Backstage Eye Paint Pot – Php 448

Tony Moly Backstage Eye Paint Pot works as an eye shadow, liner or a highlighter. This high definition, long-wearing eye colour claims to be budge-proof and waterproof, and lasts the entire day. It comes with a small brush concealed on top of the lid for quick, instant touch-ups. I got mine in lavender with shimmers.

Tony Moly Berry Trendy Hair Wax – Php 178

Tony Moly Berry Trendy Hair Wax comes in different formulations, depending on the length and type of the hair. Each pot delivers a different hold and glossy finish. I got mine in a coral pink pot that’s perfect to those who have long, wavy hair. It has the weakest hold for a voluminous wave, if I’m mistaken, but gives off the best sheen. It has a yummy apple scent, hence I initially mistook it for a facial mask lol.

Inside

Albeit made specially for men, I use it ideally to keep those stubborn tutchangs at bay and nix those icky frizzes for neat and sleek hair styling.

Tony Moly Berry Trendy Style Hair Mist – Php 378

Tony Moly Berry Trendy Style Hair Mist is one of my current hair care-slash-styling favourites. It prevents split ends, effectively detangles my unkempt locks (prior to combing), calms down frizzes, and keeps my hair freshly scented with a hint of sweet berries. It also has UV filters that protect the hair from the drying and damaging rays of the sun. It’s a must-have hair care arsenal!

Last time, I asked a good guy friend of mine, Kirk, to review a product for me. He gladly obliged, and came up with this insightful review. Enjoy reading!

Many say that men are crude animals — they don’t give a damn about manners, grooming and hygiene.

As long as they have sports, beer and a hot girl they can call their own, they’ll live a happy life.

Considering all of these aspects, I can proudly say that I fit the description perfectly. I consider myself a Neanderthal. I love the violence and excitement of sports (I play for a flag football team), I believe that beer should replace water, and I have for myself a girl who understood and accepted my crudeness.

However, there is one thing that I consider an exception; something that I put a premium on is facial skin care. I don’t choose facial care products, even if they are hypoallergenic and all, immediately. These products must first pass a ‘testing phase’ before I consider using them.

I admit that I am not a handsome guy. I fully admit that I don’t possess the facial features befitting of a model and the flawless skin that almost everyone wants to achieve. However, I am still picky when it comes to skin care products, especially facial washes.

I have psoriasis. It’s a skin disorder wherein the body’s immune system speeds up the growth of skin cells, causing the some areas of the skin to flake. This skin disorder can occur all over the body, affecting even the scalp, palms and feet and even the nails. The condition is not contagious, and the cause is still not fully understood by medical experts. However, the cause is said to be genetic. Psoriasis can be aggravated by a number of factors which include environmental factors, stress and withdrawal to some drugs.

The severity of psoriasis differs from person to person. In my case, there are some patches that appear on my face. When these patches are irritated, I tell you, it’s like hell. My face is very itchy, and there are red patches everywhere. After these areas dry up, these patches will flake off skin. It’s gruesome, painful and at times, disgusting — especially if you have it on your face. It’s really that difficult.

To resolve the problem, it would take days and a rigorous maintenance regimen to help my face heal. I would need to moisturize often and not let my face dry up. I also need to have enough rest and sleep. I also need to shake off the stress. It’s an arduous task just to recover.

That is why I’m very particular with facial care products. One wrong move and it may cause my face a psoriasis outbreak. I tell you, I’m very particular. I shell about Php 600 just for a bottle of a hypoallergenic facial wash. I don’t settle for less.

It is also important to note that this is the first time that I will be using a masculine facial product. I think I have patronized one particular facial wash for the past 10 years. I did not even dare try another brand. We can say that trying this product was like getting out of my comfort zone, and it was quite difficult for me. The apprehension was already there, but when the product arrived, it transformed into fear.

My friend, Roanne had me try L’Oreal Men Expert Pure & Matte Charcoal Black Foam. At first, I was like, “what’s this black sh*t?” I just thought that if there is a beauty regimen called a mud pack then using charcoal for your face wouldn’t be a far-cry. And also, in this time and age, the more natural the ingredient is, the better.

I set up a regimen in using the L’Oreal product. I used a two-week testing period. I decided not to immediately use the new facial product all throughout the testing period, because I’m afraid that my skin will react to it. I decided that I will only use it once a day for the first week, and gradually use it for the whole day for the following week. I wash my face twice in a day.

When I first opened L’Oreal Men Expert Pure  & Matte Charcoal Black Foam tube, I liked its musky, manly smell. It’s swabe. I checked for the product’s consistency and feel. I pressed the tube, thumbed a dollop, and let it lather between my fingers. I was impressed with the fine bubbles and the black particulates. I guess those are the charcoal.

When I used L’Oreal Men Expert Pure  & Matte Charcoal Black Foam, the sensation and the feel was good. It was quick to lather and very easy to rinse. My face felt clean after the wash and very smooth. The skin on my face is very oily especially after I’ve perspired. The product is said to work best against oily skin and it did exactly that after the wash. My face felt good.

However, I have stages in cleaning one’s face. I don’t do the exfoliating thing and I don’t use toner. I only wash and moisturize right after.

I wanted to see if my face would immediately dry up after using L’Oreal Men Expert Pure  & Matte Charcoal Black Foam, and it did. So, I had to immediately moisturize. That’s one thing that I feared that the product would do to my face, especially after the wash – to dry my face up.

But I cut L’Oreal Men Expert Pure  & Matte Charcoal Black Foam some slack as it was only the first time that I used the product. My sensitive face was still not used to it.

After the first few days, my face still dried up right after I washed my face. I immediately needed to moisturize. However, I immediately noticed that my pores were more visible. I guess it was because my face was cleaner as the sebum and dirt were easily washed away.

After the first week, my face was definitely cleaner, clearer. There were less blackheads and face shone – literally. I remember my girlfriend complementing my new cleaner look.  Hehe.

After the first two weeks of using L’Oreal Men Expert Pure  & Matte Charcoal Black Foam, I can happily say that the product fulfilled all its promises and do even more. With my condition and all, it was able to perform quite adequately and do much better by getting rid of my pesky blackheads.

I’m happy that I decided to crawl out of what I’m used to and achieve something better. Based on my experience, I’d recommend L’Oreal Men Expert Pure  & Matte Charcoal Black Foam for those guys who do a lot of sports and live an active lifestyle. It cleans your face thoroughly and keeps the oil in check.

For me, L’Oreal Men Expert Pure & Matte Charcoal Black Foam is a must for every man’s gwapo arsenal — whatever kind of crude animal they may be.

Introducing the Dear Me Skincare (and Makeup) Line:

Each of these Tony Moly Dear Me products contains baby herb complex — composed of 7 different botanical potent extracts — that works as a skin barrier, keeping the skin healthy and protected against the harmful effects of environmental pollutants. It also promises to relieve the skin from stress, whilst keeping it rejuvenated and moisturised. Its mild formulation makes it suitable for sensitive skin types.

I haven’t tried any of these products yet, but I’m thinking of trying one or two from the line for an extensive review.  

Tony Moly Dear Me Waterful Lotion

Tony Moly Dear Me Waterful Lotion – Php 498

It’s a mild, moisturing lotion that promises to transform rough, dull skin into its soft and supple state like that of baby’s.

Tony Moly Dear Me Waterful Skin Toner

Tony Moly Dear Me Waterful Skin Toner – Php 498

It contains Nordenau water, known to have miraculous healing properties, which is rich in antioxidants keeping the skin dewy and well-hydrated.

Tony Moly Dear Me Waterful Cream

Tony Moly Dear Me Waterful Cream – Php 528

It’s a rich moisturising cream in a pocket-size tube that deeply moisturises and nourishes the skin.

Tony Moly Dear Me Petite Cotton BB Cream SPF 30 PA++

Tony Moly Dear Me Petite Cotton BB Cream SPF 30 PA++ – Php 348

This blemish balm cream adheres lightly to the skin, giving it a flawless, baby-soft finish. It has a light-medium coverage sans leaving an oil residue behind. Amped with SPF 30, this blemish balm is convenient to use even when exposed under the sun.

I got mine in Cotton Beige which closely matches light to medium-light skin complexions.

Tony Moly Dear Me Petite Cotton Pact

Tony Moly Dear Me Petite Cotton Pact – Php 348

This teensy powder compact would easily be mistaken as a toddler’s toy, because it’s “that” tiny.  It’s like a typical powder compact with sheer coverage, which I think can also work well as a blotting powder.

Inside

It has a separate compartment for the powder puff, making it an interesting little toy to tote along with the rest of my beauty armaments.  Its mild ingredient promises to relieve skin irritations such as itching.

I got mine in Natural Beige which I think best fits light to medium-light skin tones.

ECHOstore is one of my favourite local stores in the metro that sells organic brands at reasonable prices. It’s been a haven for most local organic brands such as Giga, ZEN, Human ♥ Nature and Ilog Maria to name a few; not to mention, the store houses its own brand of organic products under its namesake.

I frequent their branch in Serendra whenever I have the time to pass by the area from work in search of interesting finds. That’s where I got my Burner lip balm, among other things.

Sharing with you is my ECHOstore mini-haul from my last trip. I’m sure you’d be surprised on how much each of these products cost.  

ECHOstore Body Basics Spa in a Bottle

ECHOstore’s own line of organic products never fails to amaze me. My first purchase was a pocket hand sanitiser in yummy grapefruit scent, which I religiously used and recently emptied.

As for ECHOstore Body Basics Spa in a Bottle, I can really attest to its calming and relaxing scent! I know, it can be very addictive! The product name is kinda bemusing at first, but you’d get what exactly it is once you tried it yourself. It’s like an oil concentrate from a concoction herbal ingredients such as virgin coconut oil, peppermint, orange, musk and lavender.

It’s a great reliever for congestion, stress, nausea and dizziness.

To use: spray a small amount on a palm of the hand. Rub oil gently with two hands. Cup hands to the nose and mouth area. Take a deep breath. Oil can be rubbed on the nape area and temples of the head for stress relief.

I believe it can also double as a massage oil. Also available in balm or cream variant.

Price: Php 125 for a 50ml bottle.

Ilog Maria Honey & Propolis Shampoo

I’ve been a fan of Ilog Maria for many years. I usually have their products delivered right to my doorstep (via shipping), coming straight from their honeybee farm in Silang, Cavite.  They have a variety of organic products to choose from; most are honey-based, of course.

Finally, there’s a one-stop shop for Ilog Maria products here in Manila, and one of which is in ECHOstore. I got curious about Ilog Maria Honey & Propolis Shampoo, so I gave it a try. One of the things I like about the shampoo is its high peppermint concentration that really feels good on the scalp. I love the pleasantly cool after-feel the peppermint leaves. However, I don’t find the shampoo sudsy enough, which is common for most all-natural, organic products. It requires me to apply an ample amount in order to cleanse entirely my super long hair.

Price: Php 155 for a 125ml bottle.

For bulk orders, it would be better and much cheaper to have it delivered from the farm, since the original price is almost half the retail.

Indigo Jar of Hope First Aid Gel

I got a small jar of Indigo Jar of Hope First Aid Gel out of curiosity. Although it has a steeper price tag as compared to other local organic brands available in the store, this nifty product justifies it all by proving its versatility in relieving burnouts, stress, insomnia, fussiness, insect bites, motion sickness, inflammation, rashes, cuts, wounds, chicken pox, diaper rash baby acne and, uhm, sore nipples.  So yea, it can be used by both babies and adults!

The gel inside

Its main ingredient is the blue chamomile essential oil, which contains Azulene‘s healing properties. I use this gel as an initial treatment for insect bites and breakouts. Once I had a breakout (due to extreme stress), and this was my “life saviour” in keeping those nasty red zitties at bay. It dries fast and is easily absorbed by the skin sans the greasiness thereafter.

Price: Php 510 for a 30ml jar.

ZEN Palawan Kelp Organic Body Scrub

ZEN Palawan Kelp Organic Body Scrub has got to be one of the best [organic] body scrubs I’ve ever tried, and I’m not exaggerating.

I’ve been curious about ZEN, which stands for “Zestful”, “Energetic” and “Natural”, ever since I saw them flocking most stands in leading department stores, yet I never tried taking one home until recently.

The reason why I bought this variant is because: first, it’s made out of kelp (a huge sea algae) found in Palawan; and second, it looks like Cookies ‘n Cream from afar (hahahaha!).

Inside

It has a creamy consistency like that of lotion. The apricot seeds are finely milled and evenly distributed, making it less abrasive than the usual (except if rubbed vigorously).  I’m surprised that it doesn’t smell fishy at all. It kinda smells herbal in a nice way. The kelp isn’t slimy to touch. It’s rather an interesting twist to run-of-the-mill body scrubs found in the market today.

Price: Php 150 for a 100g jar.

Zits. It’s always been my huge dilemma until now. I really envy those people who never had a breakout in their entire life. As for me, expect a zit or two during a bad day — even a colony whenever my hormones are raging.

Whilst passing by Watson’s one rare afternoon, I grabbed a box of Garnier blemish clear pen on a whim. Anti-acne products are something I highly consider. Like other acne sufferers, I’m in dire search of a magical product that will keep my skin woes at bay.

Garnier Pure SOS Blemish Clear Pen contains Zinc plus Vitamin B3 that promise to lessen imperfections in just 5 hours. It also helps visibly reduce dark spots and marks over time.

I’ve been using benzoyl peroxide (like benzac, duac or panoxyl) as a zit spot treatment. I thought this one would be a wonderful alternative, since it promises not to leave acne marks such as dark spots once the zits are healed unlike the former.

To use: apply directly on the blemished part as soon as it appears. Repeat application until it has disappeared.

Pocket-sized Tube Packaging, Slanted Nozzle Tip

The packaging is similar a lip gloss (think Lancome Juicy Tubes). It’s small and portable, which can fit my makeup kit for quick, emergency touch-ups.

Nozzle Tip

On the other hand, I find the nozzle opening a bit huge, which makes it hard to control the amount of product squeezed out. Whenever I squeeze out more product than needed, I simply use a Q-tip to carefully spot treat blemishes minus the product overload.

Transparent Gel, Stinging Sensation

The product looks like a typical transparent gel (similar to a small drop of water), albeit sticky to touch. It camouflages on the skin when it dries, as if I didn’t apply anything on the affected area. However, due to its sticky consistency, it doesn’t blend well with makeup. So, I highly suggest to use it without any makeup on.

After application, I notice a stinging sensation. Perhaps, it’s a sign that the product is doing its job to cure those icky zits, keeping them from brewing like crazy.

I notice that regular use can over-dry the skin. Hence, wearing a moisturiser helps mitigate the dryness.

Works on Small Zits

I’m not sure if it works as fast as 5 hours, but it really works overnight for small, newly-brewed zits. As for cystic acne, it’s a hit or miss thing. Usually, it’ll take 3-5 days before a big, cystic zit calms down completely. Oftentimes, not at all. Its efficacy is also lessened on old, infected zits.

Good thing is that it actually does not leave dark spots behind, unlike benozyl peroxide-based products. However, I don’t think it helps brighten or reduce marks or dark spots.

It’s a cheaper (though less effective) alternative to Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion.

Price: about Php 150

Available at Watson’s, and leading department stores and drugstores nationwide.

This newest product from Tony Moly is one of the most interesting things I currently own.

Tony Moly Bunny Sleek Mist comes in a cutesy bottle. It simply works as a facial mist. With its fine soft moisture particles, it promises to offer a simultaneously exhilirating and skin-bolstering effect.

To use: Spritz onto skin 20-30cm away from the face with eyes closed. Leave for 30 seconds or gently pat the skin [until dry] to fully absorb the product.

Cute Packaging, Refreshing Scent

Who wouldn’t fall in love with its cutesy bunny bottle which reminds me of Matryoshka dolls (only it doesn’t have a smaller counterpart on the inside)? It’s so adorable that even little girls would love to own it as well.

I also like the scent. I daresay it smells better than my BB Magic Mist. It has this subtle floral scent which’s just as refreshing as a baby cologne or powder.

Thick Mist Particles

As said earlier, it works like your regular facial mist/spray. It sets makeup giving it a dewy finish, and refreshes the skin.

On the other hand, I just wish the mist would be finer. Perhaps, it’s because of the spray nozzle, which delivers a thicker mist than my BB Magic Mist or that of Evian. Hence, it’s important to follow the instruction regarding the distance, lest you’d end up pretty much drenched. And yes, it’ll take a toll of your time waiting for it to dry completely.

Price:  Php 448

Available at leading SM stores nationwide.
