February Favorites 2018 by ayacheei
Goodbye February, hello March! Damn. I still can't believe how quickly the month of February flew by. So on today's blog, I am going to share with you my February favorites. I also included something new by the end of my favorites list, so stay tuned til those recommendations.
Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop by Wishtrend
01
KLAIRS FRESHLY JUICED VITAMIN DROP BY WISHTREND
First on the list is a skincare product, the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop. The Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop is a calming serum containing pure Vitamin C for an innovative, multi-solution, and non-irritating formula to revitalize, maintain and transform the skin. It contains the 5% Ascorbic acid, enough to make positive changes on the skin and at the same time perfect to use for all skin types, even if you have the most sensitive skin.
Holy Grail Vitamin C Serum
WHAT I LOVE:
Even though I have sensitive skin, the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop did not break me out whatsoever. And after weeks of using this product, I already saw a huge difference on my skin. It brightened and helped fade my acne scars.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
It comes in a transparent glass bottle, which I find not ideal for Vitamin C serums. The product claims it was made by stabilized manufacture construction method, which prevents the browning of the Vitamin C, so I'll see how the product goes (whether browning will occur or not - I'll update you on that).

You can get your own Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop on Wishtrend, Althea Korea and BeautyMNL, for 1010 pesos (Full review: https://mariahchristhel.blogspot.com/2018/03/my-new-holy-grail-skincare-klairs.html).
02
MAYBELLINE CREAMY MATTES IN THE SHADE DARINGLY NUDE X MAC LUSTRE IN THE SHADE PRESSSED & READY
A lot of you had been asking on my IG what my go-to lip shade is. And for the month of February, here is my favorite lip shade! A mixture of the Maybelline Creamy Matte in the shade Daringly Nude X Mac Lustre in the shade Pressed & Ready. I love mixing these two shades because it creates the perfect pink nude shade that compliments my skin.
Maybelline Creamy Mattes in the shade Daringly Nude X Mac Lustre in the shade Pressed & Ready
WHAT I LOVE:
Like I said, the mixture of these two shades compliment my fair skin perfectly.
It does not dry out my lips.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
It is quite a hassle to bring these two lippies when I go out, especially when I use the tiniest of bags.
Joe Malone Wood & Sage dupe - Joe of London Sage
03
JOE OF LONDON SAGE EAU DE PARFUM
Next on my favorites list is the Joe of London Sage Eau De Parfum. I came across this perfume at Watsons SM City San Pablo and it definitely caught my eye because it resembles a luxury perfume brand that I know of (Jo Malone London). The Joe of London (Sage) has a woody, earthy scent that revitalizes my soul for the day.
WHAT I LOVE:
It smells like my favorite scent (Wood Sage & Sea Salt).
It is way cheaper compared to the Jo Malone London Perfume.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
The scent does not stay on for too long.

Unlike the Jo Malone perfume, they do not have small versions of this (or do they).

You can get your own Joe of London Perfume at any Watsons (SM) nationwide for only 149 pesos.
Lacoste L.12.12 Concept Vertical Tote Bag
04
LACOSTE L.12.12 CONCEPT VERTICAL TOTE BAG
A fashion item that made on my favorites list this month is the Lacoste L.12.12 Concept Vertical Tote Bag. The Lacoste L.12.12 Concept Vertical Tote Bag is a tote bag with long handles and a vertical format. You can carry all your daily essentials by using this irresistible tote bag.
Lacoste L.12.12 Concept Vertical Tote Bag (White)
WHAT I LOVE:
It is my go-to bag at the moment since it fits all my things, and is at the same time not heavy.
It has a luxury feel to it (with the embroidered Crocodile branding, exterior and interior materials, and the inside pocket with its name on it).
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
NONE. <3
Mendrez Thine Flats
05
MENDREZ THINE FLATS
The last fashion item that made it on my favorites list is the Mendrez Thine Flats. It has sort of a tassle design with a gold embellishment. This is my go-to slippers on weekends since it is really comfortable — perfect for long walks and window shopping (haha).
WHAT I LOVE:
It is very easy to style. I can pair it with any outfit I have. It is also perfect to use this coming summer.
I just love its intricate design.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
NONE. :)

And here are the last items that made it on my February list, my movie/s and series top picks! This will be a regular monthly thing since most of my family's boding experiences are watching all sorts of movies. And well, I just want to share these with you guys. The experiences I had and all that. But don't you worry, I won't be giving a review or any spoilers. You only need to take my word and go watch it for yourself (hahaha). You can comment down below what you think about my top picks.

January Favorites 2018 by ayacheei
Hey guys! I'm really trying my hardest to stay true to my resolutions this 2018, so I planned on making a regular monthly favorites and share with you guys, all the things I've been obsessing over. Fingers crossed I get to keep up with it this year! So yeah, I don't want to ramble on too much, let's get into my favorites for the month of January.
#TheFoundationSubstitute Belo SunExpert Tinted Sunscreen
01
BELO SUNEXPERY TINTED SUNSCREEN
First on the list is the Belo SUnExpert Tinted Sunscreen. This is one of the first tinted sunscreen here in the Philippines that offers sun protection with coverage. It is rated SPF50 and PA+++ for broad spectrum protection against harmful UV rays. It also has cell protect defends against premature aging.
The Belo SunExpert Tinted Sunscreen is currently available in one shade, which is medium to deep. At first, I thought the shade would be too dark for my skin tone. But with its Tone Adapt Technology, it matches my skin after blending.

Belo SunExpert Tinted Sunscreen Review
WHAT I LOVE:
It is very easy to apply and blend (no applicator needed).
It is perfect for girls who are always on-the-go, like me. I love using it as the base of my everyday makeup look.
It has a decent coverage. The tinted sunscreen even out my skin tone. And although it did not completely cover my pimples and dark spots, I ain't complaining. It is only a tinted sunscreen after all.
It did not make my skin feel sticky or greasy whatsoever.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
It does not last long on the face. I recommend you to bring this product and reapply it every two to three hours.

You can purchase the Belo Tinted Sunscreen at any drugstores and leading department stores nationwide for P449.75 (50 mL). You can also get a free sample at Sample Room PH (but it is currently unavailable on their website due to high demand since everyone has been raving over this product). You can also score the BELO TINTED SUNSCREEN FOR FREE when you join my giveaway (See previous post for mechanics).


Laneige PH Water Sleeping Mask
02
LANEIGE WATER SLEEPING MASK
Another beauty item that made it on my list is the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask. My skin was not in the best condition ever since I used products from the dermatologist weeks ago. The products I got from them actually works, but the healing process of my skin was not the fastest. But with the aid of this sleeping mask, my skin had gotten better.
The Laneige Water Sleeping Mask purifies the skin overnight, keeping it in optimum condition with its SLEEP-TOX technology. It also helps the skin retain moisture throughout the night.
Laneige Water Sleeping Mask Review
WHAT I LOVE:
It has a spatula, unlike other masks I had before.
It provides intensive hydration on my skin, while also softening and brightening it.
Breathing in the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask's scent helps me relax to sleep.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
Honestly, I could not think of any.

You can purchase the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask on different Korean online stores like Althea Korea, for P980 (70 mL).


Jo Malone London Mimosa and Cardamom Scented Candle : luxury candle
03
JO MALONE LONDON MIMOSA AND CARDAMOM SCENTED CANDLE BOUGIE PERFUME
I am not used to loving scented candles, but this one is definitely a game changer! The Jo Malone London Mimosa and Cardamom Scented Candle is a mist of honeyed, golden mimosa float above the spiciness of freshly crushed cardamom — it is a creamy tonka and smooth sandalwood woven under powdery heliotrope and Damask rose picked at dawn. It uplifts, winds down or simply adds an air of luxury.
Jo Malone London Mimosa and Cardamom Scented Candle Review
WHAT I LOVE:
The scent is so strong. Everyone can tell you're wearing the scent of this candle.
Its scent is also relaxing and has an ethereal feel to it, perfect for a spa day at home.
It lasts so long — it has a candle burn time of 45 hours.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
It is very pricey.

You can purchase any Jo Malone products at Sephora, or on their official site at Jo Malone. The Jo Malone London Mimosa and Cardamom Scented Candle costs $65 (200 g).


Loreal X Balmain Color Riche Lipstick in the shade 246 Confession (peach lipstick shade)
04
L'OREAL PARIS X BALMAIN COLOR RICHE LIPSTICK IN THE SHADE 246 CONFESSION
I recently got this lippie and I've been obsessing over this lip shade since then. And that's a lot coming from me, since I'm not usually into this shades. The Color Riche Lipstick in the shade 246 Confession is part of the limited edition collection of 12 tailor-made couture lipsticks, in collaboration with Olivier Rousteing of Balmain. The lip colours are designed to embody three femininities: Safari, Rock and Couture, 246 Confession belonging to the latter.
The Color Riche Lipstick in the shade 246 Confession is a peach lipstick infused with pure pigments and camellia oil to provide the richest of colour and moisturizing, matte finish.

Loreal X Balmain Color Riche Lipstick in the shade 246 Confession Swatch on fair skin
Loreal X Balmain Color Riche Lipstick in the shade 246 Confession on fair skin - lips
WHAT I LOVE:
The lipstick is very pigmented. You only need a swatch of it, in order to get its full color.
It glides on easily during application.
It is very moisturizing on the lips.
It has that classic lipstick scent, which I love.
The packaging is so classy and sleek.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
It is not transfer-proof / waterproof.
It does not have a matte finish like its claim said (but then again, satin finish lippies are making a comeback, so..:))).

You can purchase any L'Oreal Paris x Balmain Color Riche Lipstick on leading department stores nationwide for P499 (4.2 g).


GG Marmont metalessé mini bag - inspired bag
05
SM PARISIAN CROSSBODY BAG IN LEATHER AND CHEVRON DESIGN
Crossbody bag, Beret and Pointed Mules Outfit Idea
I am more of a small bag type of gal, so whenever I'm out during the weekends, I prefer using crossbody bags as my carry-on. One of my fashion favorites that made it on the list this month is this SM Parisian Crossbody Bag in Leather and Chevron Design. I love using this bag because it is very simple and chic, perfect to pair with any outfit I have. And it kinda reminds me of the GG Marmont metalessé mini bag, don't you think?

Gucci Nose Flat Princetown - inspired mules
06
SM SOLEMATE POINTED MULES
Plaid Blazer and Mules Outfit Idea
The last item that made on my January Favorites list, are these fashion must-have shoes, le mules! Mules are backless shoes. These are basically slippers, but with style and class. I am in love with this specific type of shoe because all you need to do is slip it on and bam! You look classy af. One of the favorite mules I have, is this sleek pointed toe one with a suede material, that I got from the SM Department Store. It also has that buckle design, which I find so cute.

October Favorites by ayacheei
You guys! It is already November!!!huhuhu. It seems like time is catching up: so many plans, goals and dreams to pursue, not to mention the holidays is approaching (Money, I need money! hahaha... jk. Or maybe not. Nah, I'm jk ;)). Anyway, here is a list of some of my October favorites. This is actually my first "favorites" post and decided to write about this because I think it is important to appreciate the things we have, material things or not. 

In this list, I included some of my new favorite makeup products, music video, accessories, as well as the experiences I think is special and am really thankful for this month. My post is a bit long, so bear with me.:)))

Nagmahal. Nasaktan. Nagcontour! (Detail Makeover 4in1 Contour and Blush Palette)
This is by far my favorite contouring product eva! It is really easy to blend, not to mention it has this cute packaging! Also, this is perfect for beginners since working with contour cream is kinda difficult (or maybe it's just me, idk hihihi:3).

Feeling “Perfect” with Jazzy France Lustrous Lip Gloss
Many people keep saying "Ang ganda naman ng lippie mo". Well guys, this is the lippie I've been using, this Jazzy France Lustrous Lip Gloss in the shade "Perfect"! It actually says lustrous lip gloss in the label, but it is actually matte! I really love the shade plus it kinda reminds me of Kylie's Lip Kit "Pumpkin" shade, don't you think? Definitely one of my faves this month.;)

Little Mix's shout out to my ex music video made for Zayn. lol
10
Shout Out to my Ex by Little Mix
Last on my list is the Shout Out to my Ex mv by Little Mix.. Another awesome music video by them!!! *clap clap* I just love their girl group so much and I was so excited because they released a new mv *I hear a new album coming up!*. The song is actually about moving on after a relationship ends (not that I can relate. not that I had been in a relationship recently. lol). In particular, some fans said that this song was dedicated to Perrie's ex, Zayn Malik, but who knows right? What I can relate to though in this song is that we should leave the past where it should be. This is one of the songs in their new album "Glory Days" which will be released this mid November. Ughhhh, I can't wait!!!XD "Yeah yeah, that hurt me, I'll admit. Forget that boy, I'm over it"
