I have been told that this product is being used by a lot of celebrities. Of course, I couldn't pass this up, I just have to give it a try. :) I bought one Naturactor cover face from georginasasha  for P650 inclusive of shipping fee. Since this is a product that I'll apply on  my skin, I didn't want to take a risk of buying from someone I am not familiar with in IG (Instagram) and getting a non-authentic item. I have previously purchased a BB Cream from @georginasasha so I decided on getting this one from her as well. I chose #140 as I have fair to medium skin that is a bit on the yellowish side. Bare skin (only with moisturizer) 1st layer of Naturactor 2nd layer of Naturactor Personally, I like the natural look so I would go with only 1 thin layer for my everyday use. But if you need more coverage, you may always add another layer.

I am a picture fanatic. I love taking photos as much as I love travelling.  In this day and age where most of our pictures are in our digital devices, I take time to create photobooks so I may have something tangible that I can carry or show to friends or just a security if any of my devices would fail me. A friend of mine had sent me a sample of the photobook she's doing earlier today. Then I realized I haven't started any for my 2013. Argh! So now I decided to feature my photobooks and the companies I have tried. Maybe this will give me (and you) some inspiration to start a new one. Here are the companies I have tried in order of preference: Photobook Philippines  www.photobookphilippines.com Good:   - Printing is done in Malaysia but they have an office here in Manila so the shipping is really cheap compared to other US-based companies. The software is easy to use - like a digital scrapbook where you can add objects that would complement your theme
