Unilab’s Skin Cravings

I have been wanting to make a blog post about this collection.. I first got this as a gift from Unilab for helping them spread the word about Unilab Ideas Positive. It was love at first ~~sight~~ smell. I have been planning to buy the complete set.. bu you know with so many thing happened to us and the kids, it was put off my priority list. Then came Pinay Mommies Community 2nd Grand EB, and Unilab was one of our sponsors, aside from the loot bags that they gave for each mom, Unilab also provided 5 items that were raffled off. OK, you know I am not lucky when it comes to raffle.. but being one of the top mommy blogger in PMC, I had the privilege to receive and review one of the items from Unilab.

This is what included on our bag. Skin Cravings Smooth Over Body Lotion (Strawberry Cream and Choc’ Mint Kisses) and Skin Cravings Scrub Me Pretty (Cranberry Yoghurt, Dewberry Yoghurt and Strawberry Yoghurt).

Let’s start with the Smooth Over Body Lotion collection, Strawberry Cream and Choc’ Mint Kisses. The first one that I got to try is Strawberry Cream. Given the fact that there is already a lot of lotions out in the market, there is only 2 reason why I would buy Skin Carvings over other lotion. The first one is the fact that it leaves mys kin very smooth and does not make feel greasy afterwards. The second one is, it leaves a very good and very delicious, I may add, smell on my skin. It really is yummy and the name Skin Cravings is very apt for it. My husband even commented how yummy I smell hahaha (so that’s enough reason for me to say goodbye to all the lotion I know).

Skin Cravings Smooth Over Body Lotion, Choc’ Mint Kisses smells really nice. It’s really hard fighting the temptation not to taste it haha. They did captured the smell of chocolate and mint. I tried this once and loved it for a while but the smell wears off and leaves a not so good smell on my skin. I guess chocolates are better on my stomach for me than applied on the skin. For now, I am sticking with Strawberry Cream.

Skin Cravings Scurb Me Pretty comes in 3 “flavors”, Cranberry Yoghurt, Dewberry Yoghurt and Strawberry Yoghurt. As you can see on the photo, each yoghurt, contains small beads of each flavor, the strawberry has pink-red beads, the blueberry has blue beads while cranberry has red. It also has small abrasive materials that definitely exfoliates the skin.

Currently I am using Strawberry Yoghurt and uses it 2-3 times a week. I love how it leaves my skin smelling good and very smooth. I also notices a great difference after each scrub:

See the difference? The other arm that has been scrub with Skin Cravings is smoother and fairer too (in our Lola’s term, parang bagong hilod lang!)

I still have to the other two “flavor” but basing on the smell of it, I think I’m gonna love it too.

The History Of Engagement Ring

You know I never had an engagement ring, in fact we were never engaged..we just lived together as soon as we were official. And we never talk about marriage that much but we are both sure that our relationship will be for a lifetime. But sometimes, I wonder how it feels to wear an engagement ring..

Have you ever wondered what is the history of engagement ring? Who’s the first lady to wear such a lovely ring?

M·A·C Lip Conditioner For Mommy

As much as I want to maintain my other blogs.. it just doesn’t seem to be that possible.. so instead of torturing myself, I will now start posting beauty and fashion related stuff here 🙂

First beauty post: M·A·C Lip Conditioner SPF 15

From M·A·C’ webste: M·A·C’s popular Lip Conditioner in a compact swivel-up stick. Goes on direct – or with a brush – to condition, moisturize and gloss the lips. Provides everyday UVA/UVB protection. Lightly vanilla: clear and sheer…the natural choice for all!

That’s US$15.00 at their website and I got it from Duty Free for $18.00

For someone who loves lipstick so much, I really need to invest on lip care and I just knew that MAC Lip conditioner can deliver the care that my lips need.

It’s a bit small from what I expected (reminds me to read the description better).. This lip conditioner has three kinds, this one which is a stick, the other one which is in tube and the last one (and the cheaper in terms of price in relation to the size) the one in a small container. I was actually planning to buy the one in the container:

But then I realized, I will be using it when I am outside, application can be a bit of hassle if I bought the other one, so I stick with the stick..

As expected, it is very convenient the stick lip conditioner. The smell is not great but it’s not overwhelming.. and the taste, I don’t like it.. but hey I am not the type of person who eats what’s on my lips, so I don’t mind, I am after the effect.

For a few days now, I used it with my lipstick and I noticed a big difference when I applied a conditioner before applying the lipstick. The blending of the lipstick with my lips are better too and noticed that my lips are softer.. and less chapped.

The upper photo is without lip conditioner where as the lower one is with lip conditioner.. obviously the one with lip conditioner is more shiny.. and the color is more blended too, not to mention that it takes less lipstick to get the result that I wanted compared to applying a lipstick to my bare lips.
