Empties May 2013

One of my favorite blog posts from my everyday reads are Empties. So, after several contemplations, I decided to jump in too and make posts about my empties - not necessarily be posted every month but- it gives a sense of satisfaction knowing that you used up a product "to the last drop" :) and to avoid redundancy,  will just show the products that didn't make it yet to this category.

So here are our empties for the month of May 2013...

1) Off! Lotion for Adults - used this a lot during our holiday trips usually every night just to add extra protection against disease carrying mosquitoes and other insect creepers of the night!

2) Johnsons Baby Powder in Cooling Powder - every one of us loved using this after bath especially at night, to keep our body cool so sweat won't interrupt a good night sleep.  If you follow me here, then you'll realize it's one big bottle of Johnsons baby powder down! Hurray!

3) L'oreal Paris Smooth Intense Shampoo - loved the smell, the texture and the everyday instant result I get from this shampoo! Just pure love especially this summer season!

Provide rebellious hair with nutrition and protection for an intense smoothing.Smooth Intense combines Nutrileum with Silk Protein, known for its smoothness and thermo-resistance, to deliver intense nutrition and 48-hour protection.Hair is nourished and soothed from root to top, for an easy and consistent smoothness and is protected against the effect of humid or dry conditions*.

4)Nivea Visage Sparkling White - Whitening Cleansing Foam - I enjoyed this product very much but I still prefer and will go back to my first love - Garnier Brightening Oil Control Scrub, I just miss the visible grains.

• Cleans into pores to remove dirt and oil.

• Acne reduction Technology helps prevent acne.

• Skin Nutrient Formula helps lighten dark spots and blemishes.

• Minimizes appearance of pores.

• Smoothes skin without dry feeling.

5) Imari Seduction Perfumed Skin Softener and 6) Imari Seduction Deodorant- this is my signature scent when I was pregnant and this just makes me nostalgic and I think babe also learn to know this smell... :)

7) Milea Bath Baby Cleaner - my savior! this is the first empty of my last Sesou haul for baby Jerson Clyde. Generally used it on his bum for easy squeezy clean after poop!

8)Venus and Mars Smooch Lip Butter Balm- one of my first product posts and now it's gone! I missed the minty fresh feel after applying this goodie balm but not sure, if I'll buy again because first, I'm not sure if they're still selling this line and second, I have lots of lip balm to consume first!
Aside from these, I have a lot of sachets of samples and gifts used and still in the process of consumption, but I decided not to put them here or else this post would take a gazillion years to end!
That's it for my first empties post! Yay for absolute zero waste (because we practice segregation and recycling in our home - save Mother Earth!)! :P

ELIZABETH: Ever bilena BB Cream, IN2IT Eyebrow Palette, Ever bilena Eyeshadow Trios

Hey guys! How are you? I just wanna share to you one of my make up routine! So, this is me when I'm not wearing any make up...

Presenting to you the Ever Bilena Advance BB Cream... A whitening, foundation and moisturizing cream all rolled into one! This product provides a flawless coverage while concealing blemishes and dark spots and protecting it from the harmful rays of the sun. And with the help of its potent moisturizer such as Shea Butter and Vitamin E, it richly moisturizes our skin to make it soft and smooth!

My New Quick Make Up Routine!

When you are single, you got all the time in the world to choose what clothes to wear, hair do to don and make up to use, but when you have a little you running around, calling out for your attention and is completely dependent on you, well, even combing your hair might be a hard thing to do! lol But its alright, I love being a new mom, it's a really hard 24hour task but its rewarding. :) Yet, that doesn't excuse us moms not to look good, right? So between juggling my baby, being a wife and work I still squeeze some social life and me-time whenever possible. :)

Looking good will definitely make you feel good! So here are some of the ways to keep things easy despite of all the hard works needed! :P

• Lippies - I don't have much time doing smokey eyes anymore so I stay contented with moisturized lips. I always use my venus and mars smooch lip to moisturize my skin and add a little color like lipstain and my ET pinkish Dear Darling Roll Roll Gloss or ET colar Moon Crystal Power Gloss. Having moisturized lips is a great way to kick-start the morning looking fab and refreshed! Wearing red lips needs a more neutral looking eye make up, so as long as the eyebrows are okay, I'm good to go!
• BB Cream - the answer for on-the-go mom, its a mixture of moisturizer and foundation in one! :D Thank goodness for this product it gives me more time to do more things than applying layers of products on my skin. It has spf protection, anti-acne, antioxidants and can give light to moderate coverage as a foundation and is available at any drugstore. Tinted moisturizers can also give us mom extra time, because it hits two birds with one stone! Applying moisturizer and foundation in one is a good time saver, right?
• Mascara - pop the eyes with the right mascara, I usually skip eyeliners these past few days and I have new love for mascara whether its brown, black or even blue! :P Just having my sparse eyelashes longer and thicker gives me self-confidence that I can conquer the day even with my arms full of baby! lol Good thing I'm still using my  Lashem eyelash and eyebrow conditioner. :)

That's it. My new everyday make up routine! Sometimes I slap on some blush but its OK to skip it.. :P The most important thing is you'll still look great. :)

Do you know that our lips is the most vulnerable part of our skin? Because the skin is so thin and thus its the first to show the signs of dryness. That's why one of their product is my recent favorite! I hate having chapped, dry, even bleeding lips, it's not kissable! lol

Its so good to have V&M all-organic skin treats Smooch Lip Butter Balm! Protects. Relieves. Moisturises.

Lip balm is important in protecting our lips. Since it is usually place before any other lip products, the lip balm will create a layer of film to protect the lip surface and lock in moisture hence protect our lips from external exposure that can dry our skin by taking away moisture from our body such as dry air, cold temperatures, and wind.

Protects. Relieves. Moisturises.

V&M Lip Butter Balm specifically contains EMU oil, avocado butter, avocado oil, coconut oil, castor oil, sunflower oil, jojoba wax, peppermint, beeswax and vitamin E oil. The peppermint makes this lip balm extraordinary! It gives a minty fresh feeling that I love! Even my hubby loves this lip balm!

WHAT I DO: I gently scrub my lips when I brush my teeth. Afterwards, I put V&M Lip Butter Balm to complete the fresh minty feeling! And that is enough for me when I'm stuck at home. But. In special occasions or when I'm in the mood, I put my other lip products such as lip liner, lipstick and lip gloss. :D
