 Hi, Glamazons! You know these days I'm all about skincare and I have always loved and pushed for the patronage of local brands in the beauty industry. I'm quite excited to share about some products from Ellana Cosmetic's skincare line to my readers. For those of you wondering what my current skin woes are, I'm having trouble with hormonal acne as well as irritation from wearing face masks. My other problem is the dark marks left behind by my blemishes. So if you have the same problems, acne and dark spots, read on!

Makeup is wonderful and I will always enjoy putting it on and using it for self-expression and creativity. That being said, makeup looks and sits so much better on skin that is well taken care of. Beautiful skin provides the best base for motds. The better your skin condition, the less makeup you actually need to achieve that flawless look everybody wants.

First up on the Ellana Skincare items you need to try is the Ellana Stay Fresh Moisturizer. I typically use this after all my serums as it locks in the skin's much needed moisture. It takes care of pimple marks I have with its Niacinamide, one of my actual favorite ingredients in skincare. Centella Asiatica and Green Tea extracts help with ongoing blemishes while keeping your skin supple and moisturized for up to 72 hours. It's an interesting combination as most pimple fighting formulas actually dry out the skin. Now you can lock in that moisture while healing your skin but also making sure you aren't gonna go all oily. When your skin has the moisture it needs, you won't be producing excess sebum to compensate for dry skin.

For serums I actually like Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid. In fact, I used to have to buy separate serums for this. With Ellana Glass-C Skin+Serum you get both of them in one product. Vitamin C further helps fading out dark spots and actually boosts sun protection while Hyaluronic Acid keeps your skin hydrated and gives you brighter, healthier looking skin. This serum also boosts collagen production resulting in youthful looking skin. At my age, keeping my skin hydrated and well cared for is the goal to delay skin aging and to look my best with or without makeup. I especially like using this serum in the morning right before my moisturizer and sunscreen.

At night, after double cleansing and toning, one of the serums I have in my rotation is Ellana Clear Skin+ Serum which has a powerful blend of botanical actives and 10 %  Azeclair , which helps control sebum production and helps fight blemishes and evens out my complexion. Mascne is becoming a problem for me to be honest and I find that by simply adding this to my skincare routine, I am able to keep breakouts at bay or manage them and lighten the hyperpigmentation left behind by the pimples.

My shopping experience is just so much better when I use Shopee. I'm so much of a homebody that I avoid going out at all if I can help it. The pandemic has made online shopping necessary and I'm glad there is an app that allows me to get what I need and want without all the hassle. Usually I get better deals from Shopee than I would at physical stores because of the promos they have, rewards and the fact that they have ShopeePay and vouchers for me to enjoy more savings with my purchases. I get what I want at better prices at the convenience and comfort of my home.

 Hi, Glamazons! I don't know if you can relate but I have been buying most of my items online now because I am still wary about going out. At the end of the day, I am still in fact immunocompromised with my asthma and getting sick with covid again is just not something I want to risk.

My frustration about going to physical stores not only involves the risk of getting sick but also not knowing if the items I want will be in stock once I get there and also the fact that when I do buy them in stores, I find that I could have gotten a better deal for them online. Lots of items have promo deals and discounts online while if you choose to go to the stores there is a possibility they won't even have the promo or have run out of stocks for the items you want.

This week I went on Shopee to get my favorite essentials from Unilever Beauty Official Store for the June 30 Payday sale. Check out all the items they have right now as 7.7 will also feature great deals on self-care essentials you might want. You can get bundles and discounts on items you won't get anywhere else.

I got the Dove Go Fresh Body Wash in Sakura Bloom. I love Dove's body wash collection because it keeps my skin hydrated and moisturized after every shower. At 40, I've noticed that my skin just isn't naturally soft and supple anymore and it needs all the help it can get. The Sakura Bloom variant has the light fragrance of cherry blossoms and leaves skin feeling hydrated and soft to the touch. I use a variety of body wash and soaps but I always use Dove Go Fresh to let my skin recover when it feels dry. It is currently being offered at a buy 1 get 1  promo at P828 instead of P1380.

Another item I got was the POND'S Bright Triple Glow Facial Serum which has a brightening results that give you that glowing healthy skin. It has Glutathione that fades dark spots, Niacinamide that refines the appearance of your skin and Hyaluronic acid that deeply hydrates your skin. I've been using these compounds from 3 separate products and I'm really interested to see how a 3 in 1 product will help me with improving my skin condition. You can get the Bundle of 2 for this item. Get 2 for 490 instead of 980 while it is on sale.

Since I entered my 30's I've been obsessed with serums so I also decided to give the POND'S Healthy Hydration Watermelon Serum. It has watermelon hyaluron that will hydrate your skin. At my age I want anything that keeps my skin hydrated to achieve the much-coveted glass skin glow. It's on sale and I paid only P385 for it instead of P549.

Another essential item I always try to get at better prices and deals is ant- hair fall shampoo and conditioner. I got the TRESemme Salon Strength Shampoo and conditioner bundle for Anti-Hair Fall. It's the first professional  Anti-Hair Fall  Salon Strength they've made available for consumers. I shed a lot of hair when under stress so this is definitely something I want to try to incorporate in my haircare routine. I paid P772 for the set instead of P1544.

Of course I stocked up on my favorite antiperspirant Dove Deodorant Dry Serum Collagen Intensive Renew Vitamin B3 which is the best I've ever used to just get rid of dark marks while keeping me fresh all day. I got this bundle of 2 for only P270 instead of P324.

I also got a good bundle deal for the POND'S Cleansing Balm with Rose Extracts. I go through cleansing balms fast because I wear sunscreen everyday and I find that these balms melt the waterproof makeup and sun protection products I have on gently but more efficiently before I use my facial wash. I got 2 for only P722 instead of P1444.

These are just some of the great deals you can take advantage of on Shopee's 6.6-7.7 Mid-Year Sale. Get P66 and P77 deals, shipping vouchers, and 10% off everyday at the mid year sale.

There you have it, glamazons. If you use or are interested to try any of the products I just got, I shared deals on them for you to stock up on for your essentials. Don't miss out on these hot promos from Dove, POND'S, and TRESemme.

Thanks for stopping by and may the glam be with you always! :)

Hi, Glamazons! Before the pandemic I was very much into hair coloring but while we were in lockdown it became increasingly hard to maintain my hair color as we couldn't really go out anymore. I then decided to just go back to my black hair color which was easier to maintain. I gave up putting on makeup everyday and started focusing on skincare a lot more. I liked the results but I feel like I want to change up my look yet again but I want to continue being serious with my skincare routine. So here are products that I'm trying out to get started on my glow up goals this year.

     Hi, Glamazons! As you know, the trend for beauty has really changed with the pandemic. It's hard to put on a full face with half of our faces covered by masks these days. Many of the glamazons I know have opted to focus on skincare or investing on longwearing makeup. Many prefer the minimal, often no transfer products that are  budge-proof under the mask. Another thing I see is the focus on eye makeup. 

    Nowadays, the eyes are practically the only features you see with half the face covered up. It actually makes sense that beauty enthusiasts emphasize and enhance this area with makeup. You can go bold with full eyeshadow with dramatic wings or subtle and simple, bare cat-eyed liner and any of these choices will kick up even the very basic masked look up a notch. There's something mesmerizing about perfectly winged eyes and even if you decide to go all bare and just use sunblock, the nicely done winged liner  just makes you look well put together.

    That being said, while winging out your eyeliner looks really good, sometimes it can be really hard to execute flawlessly. I play with makeup so often but I still struggle with the flick to get those sexy feline eyes effect with the wings. I will sometimes mess up my eye makeup altogether trying to get the look.

    I like the dramatically done eyes but seriously... The struggle is real sometimes. So it's really exciting to stumble upon hacks that make winging out your liner easier. I've tried some methods that have helped me out in this department but the third way I've seen is perhaps, by far, the easiest way to do it.

1. Use tape 

    Take a long piece of tape, put the middle of the tape under the tip of your nose and stick the ends on each outer corner of your eye. This will basically be where you trace the eyeliner at to make the wing. Only problem I have with this method is the tape disturbs the makeup or does not stick well on my skin layered with makeup or creams and sunblock.

2. Use a stiff card 

    You basically just need a clean stiff plastic card (like old membership cards or expired unused atm cards---please sanitize before using) to lay at the outer corner of your eyes to guide your flick. This can still be tricky though and can still disturb foundation where the card is placed. cards are also stiffer and unyielding and will not follow the grooves of your face. This is my least preferred method but it works for other people.

3. Use a stamp style eyeliner

    This is the quickest way to achieve the cat eye look for me and quite possibly the hack that doesn't mess up your foundation or have issues with tape adhesion. It's the fastest way to achieve the cat eye and the best eyeliner hack for beginners that want to get those even wings fast.
