It will make your skin smooth and scented all the way after using it. And it is a sort of whitener and avoids skin irritations too, it has a  active ingredients like glycol, glycerin and benzote.

L'OCCITANE EN PROVENCE - SHEA BUTTER BODY CREAM

L' occitane en provence was originally based on Manosque, France. Retailer of skin, body and home products as claimed. Founded in 1976 by Olivier Baussan, to make the company's tradition to continue for preserving his native Provence.

I was introduced to this product by my beloved mom during our visit to U.S way back 2008. The first product i've got with this product is their hand cream. And from that I enjoy using and buying their products. They're brand is mostly organic and natural. The scent is also the same, it has unusual and unique blend of smell.

I've purchased currently their SHEA BUTTER BODY CREAM. And I must admit as always their product open again a real unique smell that I can't find to any other brands.

I've used this for almost two weeks now. And the result pretty satisfied me. I'm using it mostly on my elbows and knees, it softens my dry skin though we know the weather here in the Philippines are getting cold right now.

 As I've research on how to use this product effectively I understand how it takes into effect.

• First, you have to get a little cream and put it into your hand. 
• Second,you have to make the cream warm in your hands by making a hand motion up and down. And it because its made up of honey that should be take into consideration to make the honey melts and more absorbable by the skin.
• Last but not the least, put it now to your designated part of the skin that you want to moisturize more.

F.Y.I this product really helps the mild to moderate dry skin to rejuvenate. And for me I personally recommend this to those who have a lot of time to prepare for the skin knowing it would really help you soothes your skin. Scale for 10 its indeed 8.

Bought on: Rustan's Makati/ Price: P 375.00/ Where: Rustan's Makati, Rockwell Powerplant Mall, SM Mall of Asia

Snoe is a beauty brand that originate in the most beloved country of Philippines. A proudly Pinoy made products founded in the year 2010. The product mainly focuses on skin care product that would suit every skin. Jen and Gen are the founders of SNOE BEAUTY, and eventhough they are new in the beauty industry, they've already hit big malls of METRO MANILA and currently has 22 branches all in all and still continue growing.

A little history about SNOE. Hence, the SNOE comes from name NOE. Jen, the owner and CEO of Snoe Beauty was the only child. People who saw NOE for the first time will always say SHE'S AS FAIR AS SNOW, so that's were the SNOE came from.

I was very fortunate and lucky enough to be invited on their 3rd blogger's event that was held on the owner's home, and just like the first time I've encountered this product along their store in SM Valenzuela. I'm so very thankful to be a part of this event.

Take a look on it...this were some of the new swatches from SNOE line, pretty exciting eh???

With Jen introduces us, about new swatches to try for and she also very warmth of welcoming feedbacks from all of us on the said event. I must admit those different colors of their new line interest me a lot. I've tried several colors too.

one of the funniest and bubbliest staff of SNOE she's no other than CYRA!!! She's really a dedicated and informative staff that would really blow your mind to almost want to have everything on the shelves...haha!!!

I must admit the presentation of the SNOE product really is inviting. It was like you want to own a candy box and by just looking at it, the packaging and the labels of the products are pretty cool.

Jen giving us a brief but informative about the brand sustainability and their products information. From what they've started from the past, and what comes with the present and what to look out for in the future. SNOE was really into innovations for the mass market. It was a short but intimate and fun introduction, but more still to come. On the lather part of the event, it was spend getting to know each and everyone in the event,  chatting, taking pictures was the real big part of the event.

I've encountered some of beauty bloggers I've look up to and of course bloggers like me who were new in the beauty blog industry. And I could say they are all very nice.

BENEFIT CHA CHA TINT

CHA CHA TINT as described by many is one of a successful cheek and lip tint for ladies who hunts for new innovative product from BENEFIT COSMETICS. Tropical summery glow that enhances your inner beauty. And the main core of this product is described as mango - peach tint. That would really make your face like a natural summer look on a rainy season just like our country.

I find their product a bit expensive, but hey don't get me wrong it's all worth buying. Knowing you'll gonna have a natural looking glow. And besides it's just not your ordinary cheek and lip tint. It's also has this inside....take a look.

Voila!!!! yes, a little tips from the package on how to apply it correctly. Their very concerned also to some who has no idea at all and may I say as a beginner in beauty blogging doesn't really know a hundred percent how to make it perfectly applied on the face.

The bottle together with the brush looks very similar to a nail polish ones but the consistency of the tint itself is merely thinner than we think, and be extra careful putting on with this product because it would really make a stain on the surface of your skin if not properly used.

The tint as I've said earlier will really stain if not properly applied, it could be removed by make up removers and water with soap. And f.y.i it's also waterproof by nature. It doesn't requires re-applying, because it does stay for a long time during the day of course.

So, a few drops of this product would really give you definition that is really a feel of natural look. Again, a bit pricey but it's recommended for those who doesn't have time to do a routine makeup retouching.

E.O.S

A review on the e.o.s that stands for Evolution Of Smooth. I find this product really interesting that when I came to discover it, nothing I could speak of but a big WOW!!! I thought this product is limited and on sale to United States only. But with much help for co-bloggers thank God I find it somewhere from the mall, because I really want to grab one, and for almost magazines internationally speaking I came to cross on this product used by not just commoners but also hollywood stars either men or women. And thats what keeps me excited about this product. Just by looking on it, not to mention its uniqueness among hundreds of lip balms across the stores nowadays.

Photo taken: evolutionofsmooth.com

E.O.S lipbalm is 95% claimed to be organic and 100% natural. With antioxidant that is rich with vitamin E. Paraben and Petrolatum free with shea butter and jojoba oil. It sounds like a real total package with a good benefit to keep the lovely lips soft and smooth. It has a lot of fruit extracts. And it's not tested to animals and it's gluten free. Take note it's also certified organic by oregon tilth. So, as I speak for this product again it is indeed a total package.

photo taken: bowbeauty24.blogspot.com

I've bought the summer fruit scent, the scent is quite interesting. It soothes and it energizes you all the way. I bought mine for P 250.00 estimated like $ 5.00 not to bad if it would make your lips happy. I find the container cute, and it feels like your holding an artificial egg from the easter. Kidding aside, but surely this incredible product will surely give your lips a dose of serious moisture. And I'm using this lip balm for a month now. And the result is good, I must admit I could score this as 10 out of 10. After I used this my lips became soft and supple, that my lips wherever I am is reaching out for it and for almost everyday it doesn't leave my purse to aid my lips whenever I need it the most. My dearest readers this product is not sticky or even heavy when you apply it, even the scent would probably disappear for like 10 seconds. About the container I must say it's really cute as I've said earlier but be aware that it could also catch with stains if you do not take care of it as designed. And this product is not intended for ladies but gentleman too without the worry and hassle  that it could be glossy and somebody would noticed it.

Verdict: For me I probably bought again another one when I'm finish with the current one, my lips love it and so do I. And thats it for now.

Enjoy!!! ^_^

BENEFIT SENSATIONALLY SEXY MAKEUP WORKSHOP

Wow ladies, it's already november in the town. Christmas lights are everywhere and yours truly was really busy this past whole weeks. Invitations from brands are not easy for a starter like me in the blog world. Anyway, enough of the introduction and thanks purple clandestine is here again for all the ladies who seek to beautify their life with the help of some cosmetics that we really rely on. So, let's start.

Yesterday, I was one of the lucky people who came to this so called " SULTRY SMOKEY MAKEUP WORKSHOP"from BENEFIT COSMETICS  PHILIPPINES with the make up diva: MICA FUENTES ( Chief makeup artist for BENEFIT COSMETICS PHILIPPINES )

A short history of BENEFIT COSMETICS for some who are new to this product, founded in 1976 by twins Jean and Jane Ford. Founded initially as beauty boutique but later specialized on quick fix beauty problems. Globally the brand now is selling on 2,000 counters more than 32 countries. And little by little introducing it to the local market for asian to uphold beauty. They are known of to their so called "pretty and cute designs" from their products that would really make it incredibly a GO FOR product.

Now, going back to our main topic. I've went to the workshop place ahead of time, Yes, I know what you all thinking i'm an early bird indeed. Kidding aside, all the ladies on the venue were really all serious looking, searching, and really observed how the products of this brand was use and how the makeup goes with the skin type the asian has.

Mica teaching the sultry smokey effect and the HOW to apply the BRIGHTENING MAKEUP that would fit in again to the skin type of each and every ladies.She also includes some quick briefing on how to groom and shape the brows. And also adds that to enable to have a nice set of good and quality makeup you should start it of by prepping,then prime and perfect! Take note ladies, Just like me, a starter of basic knowledge for makeup wasn't really easy, but even though its not easy it is indeed a lot of fun to do. Experimenting, know that, know this. It's all part of the drama, no sacrifices means no gain...gain for a real knowledge of makeup and of course there's always room for improvements.

I would say that the workshop was really a success. Why??? people on every age, sex or no matter where you from are all in one direction of improving their inner self. Of course that was also the mission of this workshop though. :P
