BB or CC Cream?

Just when I thought of trying BB cream (Blemish Balm) 3 months ago, I learned that CC Cream (Color Correction) is now the "in" thing. I thought this is just a marketing strategy because BB Cream had been so successful that even the western companies formulated their own version of this Asian beauty breakthrough. I went ahead with my plan and bought one of the well known BB Creams - SKIN79 Super+ Hot Pink. Then just last month, I had an opportunity to buy a CC cream from the maker of my favorite sunblock powder - O HUI.  Now I have both creams and I am happy.

Please note that this blog is not intended for in depth reviews on products. Though you'll find a little information on what I like and/or dislike about my purchase, I am concentrating more on providing the means of getting these items plus their prices.




Skin79 Super+ Hot Pink BB Cream

GeorginaSasha                   P 850 (free shipping in Metro Manila, next day delivery)
Qoo10                              15 USD (may take more than 1 week as this is from overseas)

Good: Light natural feel. Almost no scent. SPF 25
Not so good: Like most of the BB creams, it has a grayish tone. But using face powder / dual powder foundation gives it a more natural effect.







O HUI CC Cream

I still have to look for a local distributor or reliable online site for this product. I got mine in q0010.com.sg when I was in Singapore (35 SGD / 28 USD). The site has a global version (www.qoo10.com)  though only a few seller that ships to the Philippines.

Good: Light natural feel. Almost no scent. SPF 28. No grayish tone. White color when dispensed and changes when you apply.
Not so good: Can't think of any

I am new to blogging and I am also a newbie with sample boxes. For those unfamiliar to this like me, it is a subscription when a box filled with samples will be delivered in your doorstep once a month, length of time depends on the subscription of choice. If you just want to try it, go for 1 month 1 month though they also offer 3, 6 or 12 months. There are a few companies offering this service here in the Philippines. But after reading reviews from other Filipina beauty bloggers, I opted to try Glamourbox this month (P580).   And my box was delivered today..Yay!! So for my first "unboxing" blog entry....

El nido - You had me at hello!!

Image
Probably noticeable from my posts that I love going to different places. I have been blessed with opportunities from work and from people around me. Recently, I had the chance to finally visit one of the well known places here in the Philippines - El nido, Palawan. Based on recommendations from friends, we chose Pangulasian Island Resort. The price of the package is a little intimidating at first but after the trip, it was worth it. Here is my review: One of the best places I have been to. The experience, the people, the amenities, the beach - AMAZING. Location: Have to travel 55 mins from Naia (Manila) airport, then another 25-35 mins to the island via boat. When you check in your baggage, the next time you'll have it is in your villa, because even in the el nido airport, someone from the hotel will assist you and carry your things for you. Paperless boarding pass Our ride Red carpet ;) The Villa: Always clean. We went to join an activity in the morning

Louis Vuitton

I am not much into clothes fashion but I love bags and accessories. I was exposed to signature bags back in 2007 when we had our month long trip overseas. A friend of mine who was travelling with me had checked on the price of one particular Louis Vuitton bag in advance in all the countries we were scheduled to go to, to the point of making overseas calls to the stores just to see where to get it from the cheapest. Anyways, I didn't get my bag back then, but the following year, I received my very first LV (a gift) - a Montorgueil. It was purchased in Singapore for about P36,000 (with the exchange rate back then less tax). That started my mini collection. Now, I am often being asked by people around me regarding prices. Let me tell you, I don't keep a price database.. LOL! But here are the current prices that I have (last update May 2014). Please note that for tourists, you may get tax refund when you buy in Europe (about 10%) or Singapore (around 5%). Also, until further no
