The Body Shop had a sale for Mother's Day. Most of their items were up to 40% off and their best selling products were Buy One Get One Free (BOGO)! Couldn't pass this opportunity so I went ahead and did some shopping.

Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner (oil free)
I was running out of my nth bottle of Obagi toner and I thought I'd go for a cheaper alternative this time. I love the Obagi one it is super gentle and it doesn't dry or irritate my skin. I've been using it for so long but I must admit that the price is a bit steep. I went ahead and did research and read somewhere that the Obagi toner is made of witch hazel and someone suggested a Witch Hazel toner as an alternative.

Laneige: Sun Block Oil-Free SPF 35 PA++
I wasn't so sure if I was gonna tag this post as Men Solutions or not. But since the product isn't really labelled FOR MEN, I decided not to.
The thing is, my boyfriend is the one who uses this product. I also tried it myself for more than a week to see how it'll work for me.
To start with, my boyfriend's been looking for a sunscreen that won't irritate his skin. He's been on a hunt for quite a while now, and he's tried a lot of products that didn't work for him. He's tried so many different brands and they usually broke him out, which is not good at all. He almost gave up and he didn't want to use sunscreen anymore because of the pimples. But I still convinced him to keep trying, telling him that sunscreen is an important part of our skin routine because it serves as a protection from harmful rays that can cause sunburn, skin cancer and pre-mature aging.

The Body Shop: Vitamin E Hand and Nail Treatment
A few months ago, I came across this Vitamin E Hand and Nail Treatment at The Body Shop. It was on a 50% off sale if I'm not mistaken. So instead of paying PHP 595 for it, I got it for around PHP 200+ only.

Shiseido: White Lucent Brightening Spot-Control Base UV
Here's Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Spot-Control Base UV. A brightening spot control, sunscreen and base in one tube!
I got this from SM Watson's during their promo sale about 3 months ago. I thought it was the best time to buy because let's face it, Shiseido products aren't the cheapest. Anyway, most items were on discount and this was on a 20% off deal. From the original price of PHP 1,998. I was able to purchase it for only about PHP 1,600. Good deal, isn't it?
How did it work for me? JUMP!
Mario Badescu: Drying Lotion
I get occasional acne on my T-Zone area, usually on my forehead. I don't get a lot, just a few here and there. But just like a girl scout, I like to be ready and prepared. That's why I always make sure that I have an emergency spot treatment all the time.
I've been using Clinique Acne Solution for years and it works fine. But I've heard so much about Mario Badescu Drying Lotion and out of curiosity, I went ahead and tried it.

Crying Before Sleep: How to Reduce Puffy Eyes in the Morning
Who hasn't cried before? No one. Well, crying is a normal thing. It's an expression of one's emotions and feelings. It can either be sadness, anger and frustration. Sometimes we even cry when we're happy.

I know that at least once in your life you have cried... all night. Either you were scolded by your parents, conflict with friends, or even breakups. It could be the most dreadful situation to have ever happened in your life. But the trouble doesn't stop there. What's worse than sulking on a pillow in your bedroom all night?
Well, for me it's waking up in the morning with HUGE puffy eyes. I guess we've all been there. And of course, it's embarrassing to come out and let people witness your humongous eyes that look like they've just been stung by a swarm of really pissed off bees.
The question is... How can you avoid having such horrific swollen eyes in the morning?

Etude House Haul
I took advantage of the ongoing sale at Etude House. All items 20% off! So here's a quick haul post.
When I first heard of the sale. I was kind of sad because I've been spending a lot lately and I promised I won't be buying makeup stuff for a while. All items 20% off is tempting. So I was torn between hauling and not hauling... Well, I asked my bf for advice. lol. And he told me to just limit myself with a certain amount that I can spend. I thought he was going to stop me, but I think his advice was good enough. He is very understanding of my shopping habits. Haha. Anyway, I decided I will not spend more than a thousand pesos.
Did I overspend or not?

Men Solutions: L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra Energetic Detoxifying Foam
One day me and my boyfriend went shopping for skin essentials and he told me he needs to get himself another tube of facial wash because he's already running out of his current tube. He got the L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra Energetic Detoxifying Foam and told me he likes it and would like to continue using it.
Today I will do my first product review for Men. Just to let you all know, I am a lady so I didn't test this product personally. My boyfriend did. I asked him some questions and he told me how this product was for him.

Skin White Whitening Hand and Body Lotion Classic SPF 20
I think I'm a total skin freak. So when it comes to my skin, I really want it to be protected from the sun's harmful rays. It's kind of difficult to find a body lotion that has a high SPF. Mostly, they are made for sports/outdoors so they tend to smell like what traditional sunblock do and they're also sticky and uncomfortable to use for everyday. Good thing there's Skin White Hand and Body Lotion Classic SPF 20.

Clinique All About Eyes
Clinique All About Eyes comes in two variants: All About Eyes and All About Eyes Rich. I believe the first one is on the lighter side and the latter is thicker and richer (hence, the name). I've never tried All About Eyes Rich, but I have been constantly using their All About Eyes variant. I am already on my 3rd jar and I am still very happy with this product.

Bliss High Intensity Hand Cream
I am very particular about my hands. Months ago, I noticed that my hands are starting to get kind of rough because I give bath to 7 of our dogs! Imagine 7! That's a lot. But actually they're just chihuahuas. So they're not that big. But still, I think all the water and shampoo are drying up my hands... Good thing I had Bliss High Intensity Hand Cream!
This is probably the best hand cream I have ever used. It worked so well for me. It definitely made my hands super soft and smooth again. It had a slight lemon scent to it. Which I liked because I prefer that kind of scent instead of the floral ones. I also liked how silky smooth it felt, definitely no greasy or sticky feeling after application.
The tube I got is just the "to go" size (1 oz) and it costs $8. Quite pricey really, but it worked wonders for me so I believe it's worth it. Sadly, I already ran out of the product. If I could repurchase, I would. But sadly, my bro-in-law who used to get me stuff at Sephora is no longer in the US. :( I'm hoping I could acquire this again soon.

"Supreme softening and surface smoothing make this ultra-rich hand balm a bestseller. Silky but grease-free, it smoothes rough cuticles too."
