My Current Sheet Mask Collection and Starting off the #MOTW Series

Hey guys!

From my first few posts, I think you guys can already guess that I'm into face masks. Face masks of any kind, as a matter of fact. There are a lot of types out there (like the ones shown below) which include creams, clay and gel-types, peel-off ones, exfoliating ones, and of course, the sheet masks. Face mask users also get to benefit from various functions that these masks can provide: anti-aging, moisturizing, nourishing, skin brightening, cleansing, and other skin sensitivity issues.

Talking about the most common ones that the beauty community goes on buzzing about would be Korean face masks which are made of different materials like fiber, pulp, hydro-gel, etc. These sheet masks are infused and packed with essences containing active ingredients that benefit different skin types.

SM Store Beauty Section Face Mask Haul (Doing the 1-Mask-A-Day Challenge Part I)

(initially was to be posted on my previous blog 'Colors up in the sky')

Hello World! 

It's been 9 months since I last posted on this blog. And now, I'm back with another haul. This time, it's with face masks! I have always been meaning to put out a face mask haul as it is one of the favorite things I love about skincare. 

With my regular skincare routine, I just stick with the basics (facial wash, toner, sun protection cream, and a moisturizer). Nothing really that extra. I don't get to catch or hop on the train of other skincare products as those already tend to be on the pricier end (and my lazy self also finds it easier to complete my skincare routine almost every day lol). However, with face masks, it's a guilty pleasure of mine that I'm more hooked to and something that I'm interested in exploring more about. During the first few stages of starting to make myself get used to a certain skincare routine, I might have had a few face masks, but I didn't really have the intention and interest of using it to its fullest potential. Eventually, the queries came in when I started to become more aware of certain product ingredients which would benefit more for my skincare needs. I always find it important to emphasize that when choosing products, especially those to be used for the face/body, it would be better if you could do a self-research first before purchasing them right away. Reading up on user reviews or watching informative videos could surely add helpful insights to your future purchases (and definitely help you save money, too). 

Transferring and Reposting My Previous Blogposts

Hey everyone!

Just composing this entry to let you guys know that a few of my blog posts from my previous blogs will be posted again on this site that I'm currently working on where they will be attached with the label: 'Blogpost Flashbacks'. I won't be putting out all of my previous posts, but only those that I found memorable to write during the past few years. Nearing the first month of this year, I have already closed the previous sites I have created in order to fully focus my attention on this site instead of jumping from one to another. You can also view how these sites previously looked like (in screenshots) through visiting the 'CONNECT' tab located at the right side of this page.

Doing the transfer made me try to consider on how to decide on a few things. I needed the change to be able to focus more on one place and also get to invest my time and attention better. This might not be that of an important notice to put out there, but anyway it's just out for those who might be wondering. 

My Etude House (semi) Haul and My First Haul Experience Story :)

(initially published on my previous blog '반짝반짝' on April 02, 2013)

Hey guys!
So, I decided to post about my first Etude House semi-haul. :)

Considering that the Korean pop culture is really one of my interests, I've grown to love one of the things they are also famous for : their cosmetics (yehey!)
Holika Holika, The Face Shop, Missha, and TonyMoly are to name a few.

But, one of the most famous brands out there is (of course) Etude House.

I have been a fan of a lot of things in Etude House (from their endorsers, their products, and their cute interiors as well).

Well, I have been to a few Etude House branches near where I live (in Cebu). So far, I've known of three branches: SM City Cebu, Ayala Center Cebu, and J Center Mall.
