Hi everyone, or should I say, hi TS beauties! So if you are following my previous posts, I attended a super fabulous event last two weeks and it was the launching party of The Skin Bureau. So they gave away the Ultimate Facial Set after the party and I promised to make a review of the product.

It's been two weeks since I've been using the products and I've had a terrible skin condition for the past month and it really bothered me a lot because every time a pimple disappears, a new one comes and it's so frustrating. I stopped using the products that I thought were harming my skin but then I also thought that maybe it was because of my hormones or something (I will definitely have it checked if it still keeps coming up)


The Skin Bureau Political Ultimate Facial Set consists of the following:
1. Soap
2. Day Toner & Night Toner
3. Day Cream & Night Cream




These products are animal cruelty free, good for teens 13 years old above and guys can use this set as well. I mentioned that on my previous post. http://www.dbeautyjournal.com/2017/06/the-skin-bureau-official-launching-party.html

Here are the descriptions and photos of each product courtesy of The Skin Bureau's Official Facebook Page






So you already have an idea on how each product works but let me also give you the instructions on how to use it.

1. Wash your face with the President Pretty Soap
2. After washing your face, apply the toner using a cotton ball and clean your face thoroughly
3. Apply the creams accordingly after doing your other skin care routines. (Apply the day gel before applying your makeup)

Now let's talk about the products individually.

The President Pretty Soap

You have read the claims of this soap through the description above. The packaging is nice, it's wrapped in plastic with the description of the product. It's simple, not that fancy but not cheap looking either. I'm very intrigued with the black squares on the soap, it sort of looks like a jelly. Haha.








First of all, I don't like the scent of this product and that's my first impression with it. This soap is very stingy as well, it tightens and dries your face BUUUUT... It does fries out your pimples and leaves your face with no trace of blemishes at all! I'm sooo impressed with this soap because I've been using facial foam cleansers but I haven't came across to a product as effective as this!


To sum it all up, here are the pros and cons

Where to buy?

Hi everyone! It's the weekend again and I was just having some thoughts about my work because whenever people ask me about my job, how does it work, how do I get paid and everything. In this blog, I'm gonna talk about my job, and our company.

So I found this company, Tripaneer.com which used to be Ebookingservices by the time I joined through an ad at Bestjobs.ph which is a good website to look for career options and opportunities. So Tripaneer is

So Tripaneer.com is a travel website that offers holiday packages with a specific theme. You can check more from our website, https://www.tripaneer.com/


The first company that I joined was Dnata, it was one of the huge travel companies in the world being the sister company of Emirates. I worked as a customer service agent there for almost 8 months, I felt the desire to leave the company because I felt like I wasn't getting the right training for my career path, I was also depressed by how sh*tty the customers treat us everyday, like everyday I would come to work and me and my colleagues would just talk about how sh*tty the day was, these friends helped me get by and so I decided to apply to Ebookingservices.

Now I know a looot of you would disagree about my decision and would simply say, hey, every workplace is stressful, why do you have to be such a cry baby, just get on with it. For me, if it's not helping with my growth as a professional or as an individual, I'll leave. I agree that every workplace is stressful, but at least you gotta choose a workplace that is not toxic because to me, that's what is poisoning you and slowly crashing your soul.

From there, I started working as a content editor, was moved to customer service (again) then now, I am working as an acquisition specialist for bookallsafaris.com. I'm really enjoying what I do everyday, I get to be in contact with different people. The team is the bonus, even though we can't see each other physically, we've been sharing our daily stress and achievements, I could definitely say that we are now working as a family.

"What are the benefits or working at home?"

1. First of all, commuting is no longer required. Yehey for me because I'm not a morning person, I take long hours getting ready, which means I could save more because I won't have to set aside money just for transportation.

2. You can still work when you're not feeling better but not too sick. Working remotely, I get to adjust my schedule but not often of course, because for me I wouldn't want my tasks to be bombarded so when I don't feel better, I would just adjust my schedule to still finish everything that I'm doing.

3. I can de-stress any time. I remember working at an office, I could just release my stress through scheduled breaks but working remotely, whenever I feel so stuffy at work, I could pause for a few hours, eat whatever I want and then go back to work.

4. Flexible schedule. What I love about Tripaneer is that they allow us to choose a preferred schedule that we should stick to. I remember working based on the schedule given to me. With the freedom that I have, I get to choose my days off and my working hours which is a very great perk that all of us want.

5. You get to know different people from different countries and nationalities. Tripaneer is a global website so the employees are also picked globally. This is so exciting because you get to meet a lot of people so despite the long distance I was able to make awesome friends and people that helps me with not only work but sometimes even personal.

Aside from the benefits, there are also some challenges to working at home

But apart from that, I think that's it. I really enjoy what I'm doing so to those who are asking if I would still pursue my dreams of becoming a flight attendant, I would confidently say no, because as I grow and learn everyday, I also realized that it is no longer my dream but I would definitely pursue traveling someday.

To those who are asking if I have plans on getting a "real" job, this is a real job, it's a fast paced environment and very challenging. It shaped my personality a lot because I have to deliver with less supervision and everything is self taught.

My interests were shifted to blogging/vlogging, and makeup. With my job as an acquisition specialist for Tripaneer, I have a work-life balance which means I could also pursue other careers that I want to try. I started my very first makeup tutorial so you'll be seeing more from me.

So I guess that's it for today, thank you very much for reading, I hope you learned something and I hope you find your dream job someday!

Yaaay! Hi guys, it's me again. So I just wanted to talk about how I convinced myself to shoot my first every makeup tutorial. I was so hesitant at first because I don't have a good camera or a spotlight and a place to shoot videos and I also thought that it might be a flop and people may not like it.

I started this blog more than a year ago and I was very giggly and happy to publish this blog, I remember being so happy on the first 1000 views of the blog. I also wanted to put up a channel, it's something that I want to try but I was really hesitant.

It was until I talked to my boyfriend about it, I told him that, with the money I'll save, I will buy a good camera and start shooting vlogs, then he told me, you don't have to have a great camera you just have to be wise and smart and use your skills to publish a video, knowing myself if I won't start now, I won't start ever. So then I decided to just go for it, grabbed my phone, my makeup tools, my laptop and started doing my everyday makeup routine.

In the video, I shared a very detailed tutorial on how I do my everyday makeup. I also listed the products I used to finish the look.

One last thing, I just wanted to say that if you want to do something you really really want, go for it, "no one is stopping you but yourself". We are constantly growing and learning everyday, so don't let yourself get in the way in doing what you want.

Hi everyone! It's been a while, I've been very busy with work so it took me a while to post a new blog but thankfully, I got invited to an event! Thank you very much to Mr. KG and The Skin Bureau team for inviting me to the presscon and official launch.

I'm so excited to share my experience with you guys since this is the very first event that I went to. I've been invited to some events but because of the conflict with my schedule and most of the events are in Manila, so it's really hard for me to attend these events. Anyway, let's begin!


We got to the venue at 10:00 AM and I got to be in the same elevator with Ms. Anna Cay, one of the famous youtubers in the country. Shame on me that I didn't even recognize her so I wasn't able to take a picture with her.



While the crew were setting up and waiting for the endorsers to finish their makeup and shoots, bloggers had the chance to take a picture of the venue, with the products and all and by 12:00 NN we had lunch, so the official program or presscon started at 01:00 PM.

The beautiful endorsers are Ms. Arjane Amante, Ms. Ashley Singh, Ms. Sachzna Laparan, Ms. Anna Cay and The Mocha Girls' Seika Samonte Hashizume and Georgina Knight.




Mr. Jefferey Geronimo, the founder of The Skin Bureau was asked by several media partners and bloggers and I would like to commend him for graciously asking every question. Here are some of the memorable question and answer portion that I kept in mind for they are very very helpful.

1. Why did he choose these ladies as the brand ambassadors of The Skin Bureau?

-Simply because these ladies are the representatives of the millennials (which is his target market) who is at the peek of their careers, even though they are busy with their schedule and all, The Skin Bureau products will help them achieve a good skin without doing too much.

2. How safe are the ingredients used on the products?

-The Skin Bureau has organic products which are very helpful for the skin, it includes a witch hazel ingredient (which is also very popular for Korean skin care I might add, and I was impressed) It also has papaya extracts and ingredients that are can't be found here in the Philippines and are exported from the US. Mr. Jeff also mentioned that they have expert chemists, and doctors that reviewed and helped them make the products safe. (No animal testing was made during the whole process)

3. At what age should a person start their skin care routine?

-At the start of puberty, a person may start their skincare routine as early as 13 years old.

4. Mr. Jeff mentioned that the target market are the millennials, but can it be used by other group of people like teens, older age and even boys?

-The product can be used by everybody, guys included as long as you want to take care of your skin.

5. And of course, I asked Ms. Anna to give a message or an advice to us aspiring bloggers who also strive hard in other aspects of our careers while making sure our skin is being taken care of.

This is the place where we waited for our idols to arrive, doesn't look like a party at all. The Arrival Party perk was so misleading. (This photo was captured by one of my fangirl friends, Joy

This is a foundation perfect for Filipino/Tanned Skinned Korean Makeup fans who can't get the right shade.

Final Verdict:

Hi Everyone! It's good to be back. You know how lipsticks or lip tints are so important for us ladies, especially for someone like me who looks like I chugged a bottle of vinegar because I'm so pale. I own a lot of lipsticks or tints in the same type of shade.

I found this fixing lip tint online because I've been seeing a lot of Korean beauty bloggers making a video review of how it stays even after eating oily foods, even if you try to erase the tint using your lip tint, it still stays. That's almost like a miracle for us ladies because it's always annoying how we have to do touch ups after eating or even after a few hours.

April Skin has been making a huge hype on social media because of its good products. I managed to get one of their best sellers through a friend, you would wanna check their page if you're interested in Korean Makeups -> Le Tote Cebu

So, let's start the review.

Let's start with the packaging:



I love the packaging cause it's pink, of course, I love pink. I love how it's travel friendly cause it's plastic and I love how simple it is but it says something.


I love how the wand is bendable, it makes it easier for the product to apply and blend. Though people might find it hard to use cause it's bending but turns out, it's actually very convenient.



The shade that I got is Tomato Lady, which is somehow orange but somehow reddish. It's corally (I just made that up) so it suits my morena skin really well. So I applied this on and I tried smudging it but it didn't smudge at all. It stays the same.

Let's talk about the pros and cons of this product:

Pros:

• Lasts long
• Travel-friendly packaging
• Has SPF 10
• It doesn't cause cracking on your lips cause it's a bit moist
• It does stays even after eating
• Non-transferable
• Smudge-free

Lip-bitten style

This is how I would wear it on a daily basis

If you want it popping, this is how it would look
