L'Oreal HYDRAFRESH ACTIVE Moisturiser

When my brother recently had a vacation in Bangkok, he asked me what I wanted. Since there was nothing particular in mind I just told him to get me anything skincare. Hehe So he ended up getting me the L'Oreal Hydrafresh Moisturizer.

L'Oreal Dermo-Expertise Hydrafresh

What they say: Everyday the skin loses hydration, minerals and essential vitamins. When dehydrated, the skin is more tired-looking and less resilient. Consequently, the skin appears less radiant, its surface dry and rough.

INNOVATION: The L'Oreal Laboratories creates HYDRAFRESH ACTIVE DAY MOISTURISER, designed for 24 hour hydration. The melting formula contaons essential minerals - calcium and magnesium - and Vitamins C,E and B5. It provides an ideal dose of moisture to leave skin feeling perfectly hydrated, fresh and comfortable throughout the day.

ACTION: HYDRAFRESH ACTIVE DAY helps maintain an optimum level of water in the skin by locking in hydration. The vitamin-mineral formula intensely moisturises, refreshes and reinvigorates the skin.

It comes with another cap inside aside from the lid which I really like since you don't experience opening moisturisers to find only 30% of the contents at the back of the lid. Isn't that such a waste? In this case, I use a clean spatula to get the product to avoid contamination.

The moisturiser feels really light and is in a gel formula. I love this type of formula because it feels so light, moisturised and breathable.

Texture: The melting cream texture with its refreshing fragrance is a pleasure to apply. Non-greasy, it instantly sinks into your skin to leave it feeling soft and smooth.

I totally agree with the product's description with the texture. This is what sold me, and the refreshing fragrance smells really really nice!

HYDRAFRESH totally bended in my skin

I love how this product keeps my skin so fresh and moisturised without it feeling heavy and oily. I already have crazy oily skin and the last thing I need is to have my moisturizer really heavy and cause more oil. I don't want to now wear moisturiser so I'm glad my brother got me this. :)

I just don't know if this variant is available in the Philippine market and if so, I'm not too sure on the price range too. Do you guys know if this is available in The Philippines? :)

Toodles! :)

L'Oreal Wear Infinite Studio Secrets in Desert Sunrise

Part of the loot of make up that my boyfriend gave me included this L'Oreal eye shadow quad which had neutral colors. I was ecstatic since I am a prime look girl. Hehe So I thought about reviewing this quad since I use it very frequently.

Each eye shadow has a little number mark which corresponds to how it can be used illustrated at the back of the quad. My bad, I forgot to take a picture but its just a tutorial. :) As you can see, the top two colors are shimmers while the bottom two are matte. I really like how this quad is a mix of shimmers and quads since I'm not really a fan of all shimmer eye shadow look. :)

Here's a swatch of each shadow. :)


Aren't the colors pretty? I really love this quad since it's usable for everyday simple to glam make up. It's also convenient to fit in any pouch may it be big or small so whenever I need to rush in the morning, I just bring this quad and I have complete shadow colors wherever I go.

As for the price, this was a gift so I love it none the less. haha Although basing it from the website, this quad is worth about $7.15 online. So for what you're getting this is a good price! :)

Too bad you can't get Studio Secrets by L'Oreal here in the Philippines, this line is what holds the famous L'Oreal HIIP too. I really hope L'Oreal decides to bring it to the Philippines (hint hint to Mr. Marquet! Hehe ). I assure you the Studio Secrets line will be a big hit in the Philippines! :)


Toodles! :)

New Toys

Since I have been on hiatus for the past couple of weeks due to make up school and some other gigs and priorities on the side. I have been lacking on posts about reviews, new discoveries and most especially hauls. So this post is dedicated to the new toys I have, some never even been swatched.

The bulk of these products are from the boyfriend who came home a couple of weeks ago and surprised me with my weakness - make up. While some were bought here through some re-sellers and at some retail stores available here in Manila.

Here's the loot, some I can't find since I need to do a lot of sorting in my messy messy room! :(
