I have declared multiple times that Centella asiatica one of my most favorite skincare ingredients. My love for it began with the use of a moisturizer that has it as a main ingredient. With just a month of continuous use, I noticed my skin got better with it - it looked and felt hydrated and moisturized and the tone evened out. My dry skin loved it so much that, unco…
Read moreGone are days when I would have an all-nighter searching for online shops that carries the Korean products I want, wait for weeks (and even months) to have it shipped, and deal with insane price markups. When Althea Korea entered our local shores two years ago, our Korean beauty and skincare shopping experience has changed... a lot and in a much better way. With i…
Read moreI have always been fascinated with Korean beauty and skincare products which made Korea part of the list of my To-Visit countries. A visit to this place, just to shop for makeup and skincare products, will sure not happen anytime soon given than I have a load of things to spend for. But with the hit of online shops , we can easily have our hands on the products th…
Read moreA few days ago, I posted this photo on my Instagram page (@jesroque) with the caption, "I can live with just defined brows and a good amount of SPF." And with all honesty, this is the look I groove with lately -- brows and smooth, glowing matte skin. No blush, no contour, no whatever. It takes me just 10 minutes to whip this look, with the 9 minutes of i…
Read moreI came back to work just two weeks ago and I haven't had time to breathe and relax since then. Classes will start in just about two weeks and I should get everything prepared. From the curriculum down to the visual aids I will use, everything should be on point before the first day of classes. Say hello to my teacher life! So before I go back and work, let me sh…
Read moreI use a facial mask at least once a week and whenever I do, my boyfriend will ask me with all curiosity, "What is that for?" I always try to give him answers he would immediately grasp but apparently, he doesn't seem to get the point of using one. Admit it, there are facial masks that are total waste of money. Good thing, I have a good set of those t…
Read moreAs I was savoring every minute of the 3-week vacation from work (one of the perks of being a teacher) , I made sure to have my much-needed me-time at least twice a week. One of the things I did was to put on a facial mask while relaxing. Oh yeah, those times are the bomb! Anyway, one of the facial masks I used is The Face Shop Collagen Essential Mask Sheet given …

Read moreNo one is too old to be treated like a princess. That is one of Etude House's goals why they brought Etude Playhouse Princess Academy as a gift to their loyal customers. The event was held last July 27 and 28, 2013 at SM North The Block Atrium. Honestly, I was planning to skip this event just because it was too far from where I live. Good thing, I had a fa…
Read moreHappy Monday, loves! This week will be a little busier for me. Honestly, being busy in normal in my system but this week will be a little tougher. I am totally cool with it, actually. I am so blessed to be stressed! One of the downsides of stressful days, aside from well, being stressed, is that my skin usually shows the signs of my lack of stress. It looks extra d…
