Pam For The Glam


Hi, Glamazons! I've been taking it easy with beauty blogging these past few months because I got pregnant and my hormones are all over the place. Motds are such a challenge with my skin breakouts and there are certain products I can't really use. I'm now 7 months pregnant and the one constant thing I've used before and after my pregnancy is My Skin Origins Shea Body Butter with Arbutin.

I started using My Skin's Body Butter last year because I had stretchmarks on my arms and legs. My ever fluctuating weight just wreaked havoc on my skin's elasticity and I had ugly marks on my arms since 2016-2017. I tried expensive creams and scar removers but the marks didn't show any signs of fading until I started using My Skin's Body Butter.

I noticed that the red marks gradually went from angry red, to dark brown, then to an almost invisible white on my arms and legs. Stretchmarks aren't fun. I had to cover up my arms for most of 2016 because I kept getting asked if they hurt or how I got them. In less than 2 months, my marks started fading when I used this body butter and I am currently using it on my huge baby bump to manage the marks showing up with each trimester.

Apart from the fact that it helped me diminish the appearance of my stretchmarks, I really love how moisturized my skin feels after application. Dry areas like the elbows, knees and heels really benefit from just a small amount of this body butter without it feeling to greasy or sticky like most body butters.



Right now, it is the number one beauty and skincare product in my arsenal because it helps me maintain my skin's moisture and helps me manage my stretchmarks. You just need to be consistent and use it after every bath.


My empty tubs :) Consistency is key!

This retails for about P380.00 at any My Skin Origins Skincare and Facial Center and you can actually start buying it online at the My Skin Origins Online Store.

Thanks for taking the time to read my review. I hope you try it for yourself and see what My Skin Origins Shea Cocoa with Arbutin Body Butter can do for you. May the glam be with you always! :)

 Hi, Glamazons! I got my first Flossy footwear after our DBS Christmas Ball and was drawn to the Jorge design in Khaki. I chose it mainly because I love the grayish taupe color and I wanted something simple but different from the popular models. 

 I'll admit that I never thought of buying one til I actually tried one for myself.  Flossy's just one of those shoes that strike me as trendy and youthful and while I like having my motds up to date, my overall sense of fashion is unremarkable and simple. I just don't like to overthink anything that doesn't involve makeup. 

  Flossy is a game changer in the sense that even basic gals such as myself can appreciate its beauty given the right style. I like no frills, clean lines, and basically colors and designs that go well with my black or gray bags. I want to be comfortable but put together without taking the focus off my motds.

 I put on my first pair and I just love it. It gives me a more relaxed look with my dresses, instead of the more formal look I'm used to. I feel younger and laid back but I don't feel like I'm trying too hard or look underdressed for as long as I have my makeup on fleek. The fact that I'm preggy and looking for comfy shoes only endears my new kicks to me even more. 

 I've been using it for weeks and it is hands down one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever used. It has that sweet strawberry bubblegum scent I like, and is just so light. When the shoes I wear aren't doing it for me, I usually have calluses by the end of the week. I either have to get a foot spa or use my good sandals to get my heels soft again but so far I haven't had that problem with the flossy footwear I got.

  It looks absolutely cute with almost every dress I have. You look so fresh and beach vacation ready when you use it with bright colors or anything with floral or tropical print. I'm no fashion blogger, but I like how it just blends seamlessly into my existing style. 

  It is currently my fave shoes to wear right now. I was skeptical about these shoes before but now I'm a believer. 






 I'm glad I finally tried a pair and now, I simply can't wait to add more Flossy footwear to my collection of shoes. 

 If you're in Davao and want to get your fresh Flossy kicks, visit Res Toe Run at SM City Davao or any Flossy shop to get yourself a pair. if you want an easy, fresh summer style without changing your entire wardrobe, find a pair of Flossy to change things up a little. You'd be surprised how a simple pair of footwear can make a difference.

 Thanks for dropping by and I hope you find the Flossy that's suits your lifestyle. May the glam be with you always!

  Hi, Glamazons! I've been using detanglers ever since I started bleaching and coloring my hair. Detangling gently is important so as to avoid hair breakage and split ends. I actually used to have one from a popular brush company and I haven't had to change it for two years until Hairfood let me try their Cacai Brush. Just when I thought detanglers couldn't get any better, this product proved me wrong.

  So let me tell you exactly what I love about the Cacai Brush.

  Let's start with the colors, you can get the Cacai brush in 2 colors-- Metallic Magenta and black, and Dainty Blue and Pink. Both colors are gorgeous. I have one in blue to take with me when I go out and one in magenta for home.


  It has a handle.

  A curved one that fits into your hand perfectly and lets you have more control as you brush out the tangles. The one I own doesn't have a handle and I never realized that something as simple as a handle makes a big difference. My old detangler has fallen off my hand while brushing so many times, which is why I really like having something solid to hang on to. 

   It's lighter.

  I actually prefer the Cacai brush over my more expensive detangler now because even with the handle, it weighs practically the same, if not lighter, than my other detanglers. The sleek and beautiful design lets you brush in style without the added weight.



  It's affordable.

  Compared to other detangler brands, the Cacai brush retails for only 549 pesos while other brands go for 700 pesos or more.


  It lets me brush my hair even when my hair is wet. The usual brushes out there will not only snag on your knots but cause breakage. For bleached and processed hair like mine, it is especially important to be able to comb through the tangles without damaging my tresses. My hair simply needs extra care. I start at the bottom half of my hair to get rid of the knots then gently work my way up. Combing my hair this way really just prevents breakage for me and once I've managed to untangle all the knots, the Cacai brush glides through my mane smoothly without any unpleasant hiccups.


  This is a great item to give and receive especially if you or the person you're planning to get it for has processed hair. Since I started using this type of brush I've never had to deal with split ends and impossible knots!

  So go get yourself a Cacai Freedom Brush and see how something as simple as a detangler can give you happy hair days.


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

  Hi, Glamazons! As you know, I've been experimenting with my hair a lot. The last hair transformation was the Balayage by Buddy and I've retouched the look with a light blonde color since then. Going from jet-black hair to blonde hasn't been easy. My hair's been bleached to lift its original pigments and while the look is gorgeous, maintaining it can be quite daunting if you don't know which products to use. 

 I've put my hair through a lot of chemical processing and it simply needs extra care. And while there's absolutely no question that virgin hair is the healthiest possible state our hair can be in, I don't regret exploring an adventurous side of me with my hair.

  I took myself out of my comfort zone and have gone brown, coppper, red, and blonde just so I could enjoy different versions of myself. I love the volume, the change in my overall look, and even the challenge to push myself further. I'm actually considering teal for my next hair color. I feel fun! For the first time in all my 35 years, I actually feel fun. Deciding to ditch the love for convenience and the desire to fit in made me realize that I actually like being different.  I like being high maintenance. I like being so many versions of me without having to apologize for it. Changing hairstyles and color, for me, is about opening up to a new world--- a new me. It's about saying yes... Saying yes to change and saying yes to me. 

 Hair processing and styling, especially bleaching and coloring will take a toll on a person's tresses. Some adjustments have to made to fully enjoy certain hairstyles so it's only natural that we invest in products that will help us maintain or even repair our crowning glory. 

  Enter Hairfood Co.'s Argan Gold Mask Intense Rescue Masque. 

  I was chosen to be one of the lucky ladies to try this product and I'm always happy to do beauty reviews for my readers. Especially for brands and products locally available at great prices. What got me hooked on Hairfood Co. is their selection of premium oils. I've been recommending them to friends, not only for moisturizing the skin but also to use in motds and hair. You can read my review for the Hairfood Co.'s oils by clicking this link. 

  The Hairfood Co.'s Argan Gold Masque is one of the few products I use on a weekly basis to keep my hair manageable. I love how it moisturizes each strand and how touchably soft, and voluminous my hair looks even when I don't blow dry it after each use.




  I personally like using it with the Argan Gold Shampoo or even after my dandruff treatment shampoo. I never have to worry about dry and tangled hair when I use the Argan Gold Masque. When you have bleached hair like mine, you definitely know that combing tangles through is almost next to impossible without conditioning treatments. The reparative effects will last you a full week or more. The scent is very pleasant and mild. Not at all like the usual heady scented products available in stores.



  I always make sure to apply more at the tips of my hair because it is the most dry part of my mane. I leave it on my freshly shampooed hair for at least 15 minutes. I leave it on for 20 minutes if I'm using my dandruff treatment shampoo which can be very drying.

  It's one of the most effective products I've tried post hair processing. It moisturizes without making my hair look flat. I love the softness and being able to finger comb my hair once again with this product but I never want to sacrifice the vavavoom volume I love so much. 

  The Argan Gold Intense Rescue Masque retails for 525 Pesos and is available at all Hairfood Co. Kiosks. If you are looking to buy premium Pinoy products for healthy hair, give Hairfood Co. a try. Your hair will definitely thank you. Healthy hair days are finally possible with the amazing products they have to fit your crowning glory's needs.

Thanks for dropping by. May the glam be with you always! :)

  One of the things I love to do to de-stress is gaming. I'm glamazon tita with an appreciation for beautiful graphics, strategy, RPGs, and MOBAs. I grew up with gamer bros and to this day, I really still like immersing myself in games to unwind. I'm currently obsessed with Mobile Legends and I like how this MOBA mobile game reminds of me of my DotA days spent with friends. This time, I get to enjoy it on my phone and I can even bind it to my FB account so I can play with friends! I also play Everwing with when the mood strikes me but ML is my absolute favorite.

  I don't know if you've ever experienced this, but I really hate it when I have poor WIFI connection during gaming. I get that lag that causes slow to zero response rate for my hero and I actually get reported for going AFK during the battle because my hero is either standing still or running around in circles the whole time. I've learned that using reliable mobile data not only gives me the experience I want but it also lets me play even when I'm not hooked to the WIFI at home. 

  Smart has great news for us gamers! Let me tell you about the Smart Prepaid Gametime because you get the best bang for your buck with this promo. For only 50 pesos, you get 7 days of gaming. You can play Mobile Legends, Everwing, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, and Arena of Valor without worrying about lagging and consuming all of your data. You get 300MB per day and if you play Mobile Legends, you get free 50 Battle Tickets to use in your game. This essentially means faster game time, no buffer time, and you can get your ML fix anytime, anywhere. You can also get the Gametime Promo for 100 pesos which gives you 30 days game time for Mobile Legends, Everwing, Clash of Clans, and Clash Royale and 100 ML Battle tickets.

  For the Game Time 50 (Hero Offer), simply text GAME50 to 9999 and for the Game Time 100, text GAME100 to 9999. You get 300MB per day when you avail of this promo and you get free Mobile Legends Battle Tickets too. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely trying it for tonight's game night with hubby. No more wet noodle experience for tonight's battle!

 Thanks for visiting! This is your Glamtech, signing off to load up for tonight's game night!
