BEAUTYmnl | Ponds BB Cream & Elf Pressed Powder Review

Beautymnl is an online shop here in the Philippines. They deliver high quality products with over 300 brands to choose from. I saw a post on facebook featuring them and as a makeup addict, I immediately went into their website and omg...what a surprise! Their website looks so beautiful that will make you buy more and more of their products. Their service/customer care are super duper nice, as well! It was a fast transaction indeed!

Well, I am a kind of girl who doesn't have "tipid" in my vocabulary. I'm that kind of girl who always want "SUPEEEER TIPID" HAHAHA. I want to invest more on cheap but quality products so to make sure that I buy the most affordable ones, I always read reviews from other customers and to be certain of the product's quality as well.

I was curious about their products so I patiently browsed and looked for what I need, and what would cooperate with my budget. LOL. Anyways, I've been wanting Ponds BB cream for the longest time but for me, it is sort of "expensive". FORTUNATELY, beautymnl was on sale the time I was browsing their website. Most of their products were on sale so excitedly, I scrolled and scrolled until I've found Ponds Flawless White BB Cream 25g. I chose the shade 'Beige' because I have an olive, mid-brown sorta tanned skin (HAHAHAHAHA hope you get that). Plus I also got myself an Essential Clarifying Pressed Powder. Not a pressed powder kind of girl but for an affordable price, and nice claims, why don't I try? And for a bonus, it came with  super useful freebies. So down below are the actual photos, claims, specs, and prices of the two items I bought (plus freebies)

NOW, LET'S GET IN TO THE REAL REVIEW!

Ponds Flawless White BB Cream Beige 25g


One of the things I love from Ponds BB Cream is its unique tight lock in a twist. I do not know the right term but the thing is, when you twist the cap once, it will immediately lock in a second) Help me hahaha comment down below, please. And also, it prevents the cream to spread on the cap that makes your container neat and very handy.



(I spread it using my finger)

The bb cream smells good.  You can use it as a base and it really has consistency and coverage. I promise it really does...just work with them and I promise (works for me) IT WON'T CAKE!

Essential Clarifying Pressed Powder





(In here, I did not removed the BB cream and just pat the powder directly)

I'm not really a pressed powder user but this one is so nice. I bought this product because it contains salicylic acid that can prevent or at least reduce breakouts. The packaging is really cute and very simple and perfect for your kikay kit! It works well and for a hundred and thirty? Great deal! If you are starting with makeup, girl, this is a great buy!

SO THERE, I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS REVIEW AND FOUND IT SOMEWHAT USEFUL. I LOVE IT WHEN I HELP SOMEONE IN MY OWN SIMPLE WAYS.


THANK YOU GUYS! GOD BLESS, xoxo

BALL PIT MANILA EXPERIENCE!

Keeping a Journal to Relieve Stress

Stress is a poison to your body. It kills you, it destroys you, and it makes you weak. And the more you take it, the more it slowly consumes your own self. I bet there are a lot of things that stress you as well like other people do. But instead of letting stress conquer you, try to reduce them, and if possible, totally remove them. Can you believe that keeping a personal journal will help you reduce stress? Yes, you heard me right. Journal is a powerful and a friendly tool that will help you clarify your thoughts and reflections. Once you have written all your problems down or even your opinions and ideas about your day, you will be able to identify what you really are going through.  Afterwards, sort the negative ones to the positive ones and by this, you can arrive at solutions to your problems. Isn’t it cool? Having a journal makes you know yourself better. It gives you a pattern of your day to day activities and by that, you could point out the things that you do not ...
