Gluta Advance White & Firm Facial Wash Review

Hello guys and gals!Miss me?Haha.Just Kidding.Anyway,today I'm gonna do reviews on my favorite beauty products starting with Gluta Advance White & Firm Facial Wash.

Gluta Advance White & Firm Facial Wash

What it claims:

The Gluta Advance White & Firm Facial Wash thoroughly cleanses and moisturizes by normalizing and neutralizing excess oils in the skin without the over drying the skins surface that some products cause.

Gluta White & Firm Facial Wash has a special formulation that whitens, nourishes, and rejuvenates the skins surface in two weeks giving you a smooth subtle face.

Verdict:

My mother is a dermatologist so I get to try out a lot of different skin products.As you can imagine I was very happy when she gave me a bottle of Gluta Advance White & Firm Facial Wash for free!Since then I have been using it religiously until it eventually ran out.After finishing the whole bottle within a couple of months, I can say that it holds true to it's claims!It cleanses my face without stripping it of it's natural moisture.Honestly though,I can't tell the difference if I did get any whiter after using this because for starters I already have fair skin.Second,I use a lot of beauty products with whitening ingredients so I really cannot attest if that part is entirely true.All in all I would highly recommend this especially if you are a morena who wants to get fair skin.

Ripe Rhipes

Hello, loves!

It's been a while since I posted, hasn't it? I've been completely swamped by schoolwork because like the other members of SMACK, I've started college! And it's been quite a whirlwind of a first term (yes, my first term is finished alkfn).

Anyway, onto my post.

I've met some interesting people in my university, and the girl I'll be blogging about is one of the friends I've made!

[outfits c/o Rhipes Backyard]

This is my gorgeous friend, Ira!

She's closely affiliated with the person who owns Rhipes Backyard (which has truly wonderful pieces being sold, by the way), and since I like Rhipes too, I'm kind of advertising it here. Haha!

Anyway, that's the down low for now; in a week mine, Aly and KC's favorite band (THE WANTED!) are coming here to the Philippines and we'll be sure to document to our outfits!

Peace out!

Mani Pedis With My BFF

As you all know being in college is hectic. There is a lot of freedom compared to when I was in high school but it is more difficult to find time to bond with my friends. Yesterday Carren went to my house to come celebrate my father's birthday with my family&I. We also bonded over mani pedis at a near by salon. All in all we had an amazing day together. We badly needed to get pampered and to spoil ourselves even just a little. After all we don't want the stress of schooling to show on our faces. If you girls are wondering how much their service costs it's only P150 for both the manicure and the pedicure which is pretty affordable to me.

First Day Jitters and Fluffy Slippers

Vas Happenin' my little fashionistas? I know that I don't regularly update the blog 'cause I'm busy with college and so are my friends/co-bloggers. Last June 14 was the start of a new chapter in my life. It was the first day of college. To stave off the nerves my mum and I decided to do a little shopping and my my,look what I found in a little shop called Smooch in Ali Mall. A pair of adorable bedroom slippers in the color green with this cute red&yellow flower to top it all off. It doesn't hurt that it only costs P150!

Beach Photo Shoot

This is a super late post of our beach photo shoot during my birthday. I was kind of stressed out on the way to the beach because it was raining. But if you want a more dramatic effect on your photos, try going there when the weather is cloudy and so on. There's no sun but it was really windy and so we really enjoyed our stay!

Last summer, you would notice that the sheer tops and uneven skirts were really trending. We found some skirts that can be bought at affordable prices, compared to the skirts sold at F21, which is too expensive.

 Left skirt: Centris Station | Middle skirt: Cocco | Right skirt: SM department store

The prices of the skirts ranges from P300-500

  I just had to have a solo pic, in this pose :)))  

With my cousins:

 Swimsuit: Jelly Bean

And as an advertisement, please visit Canyon Cove at Nasugbu, Batangas! You'll really enjoy yourselves there!

That's it for me!

Possible Repeat Offender

Okay, the title is a lie. I am not a possible repeat offender, I am a repeat offender. Yes, shameless, I know [sigh]. I have blogged this outfit before but with a blazer and different shoes. I find that there is no harm in wearing the same thing just as long as there is something different to it. In my previous outfit post of this outfit, I had a blazer on, different shoes and absolutely zero accessories. So there you go, my justification as to why I reblogged an old look. Also, because I can. Forgive the haggard face and the not so great photos, I had to take these alone in a very hot room okay? My mini tripod is probably my best friend when it comes to outfit shots. Why? Okay, confession time. My family does not know about this blog or any of my attempts to join the fashion  and blogger world. I still can't seem to cross that awkward bridge in telling them about it. I don't know why, probably because I am a chicken. So, I end up having to take my own outfit shots in a "secret" location. So now you know. 

Here's a closer look at the smaller necklace around my neck. It reminds me of a mocking jay from the Hunger Games. I got this from Aeropostale, I think. 

Since you have seen this outfit before I thought I should just post a few pictures. Forgive my lack of editing skills, I try to make up for my lame quality photos with edited ones. I am trying something new with the labeling. I am not yet sure if I like it and would continue or just go back to the old way and just list everything down. We will just have to see.

Bangkok Photodiary

Hey lovelies! I went on vacation to Bangkok a few days ago and I just wanted to show you guys what I did with my family. Did very little shopping but a lot of walking. One escapade led to another and at the end of the day our feet were aching so badly we didn't want to move. I had a lot of fun absorbing the new culture and trying out new things. I ate good food, saw beautiful sights and experienced a whole new culture.
