Pond's Pure White Deep Cleansing Facial Foam wih Activated Carbon +B3

I am a guilty perfect target for advertisements. Whenever there is something new I see on commercials, especially shampoo and skin care, I get excited and try them ASAP. This Pond's Facial wash was no different. What first attracted me was its Black packaging. Initially I thought of how sleek and classic it looked in black with pink accents. It was beautiful, I needed to have it. Haha Yes, I'm pathetic, but when I watched the commercial again, I knew why I needed it even more, This Pond's Facial wash has Activated Carbon +Vitamin B3.

New Pond's Pure White Facial Foam is formulated with Activated Carbon. The Activated Carbon is known to easily absorb and lift away the dirt and impurities from skin surface and deep within pores. Cleanses your face thoroughly to reveal your natural pure white looking skin.

After reading this description from the packaging, I picked it up right away. Since my lifestyle allows me to wear make up all the time, taking it off can be a thorough job. The steps are usually as follows, Make Up remover, Facial wash, Toning then moisturizing. Usually when I tone, I still see and remove some dirt from my face (amidst the fact that i already removed make up with a remover and washed my face with facial wash). So the activated Carbon was just perfect to help me remove more dirt from my face. :)

The color of the facial foam is like a pearly gray color. :) It would've been cool to be pure black eh? :)

Anyway I just started using this product, and i'll see if this will work for me. From the first wash though, it gave me a clean feeling but not too tight like all moisture was stripped off. :)

Have you guys tried this product? Let me know what you think. :)


Toodles! :)

Hi Guys, remember my post about my first Studio Shoot about 2 weeks ago?

Just to give a recap, I was MUA for my first Studio Shoot 2 weeks ago to my wonderful Photgrapher friend Anna Manlapas. This shoot was for our portfolio collaboration. There were 3 layouts; The ponds Girl Layout, The Flapper Hollywood Layout and the Fantasy Avante Garde Layout.

Anna has given me 1 of each layout again. And they are great!!

Studio shoot teaser pic + Maui's giveaway

Hi lovelies, here's a teaser image of the shoot last Saturday. This is the first layout out of 3 layouts, this is the clean, no make up look.

Photographer: Anna Manlapas of Adphoto
Model: Meg Michelena
MUA: Yours truly :)
Styling: Mars Raposa
Hair: Collaborative effort of Anna, Me and Mars (none of us have hairstyling experience lol)

I super love this shot of Meg, she's so beautiful to begin with the make up just helped enhance her beautiful face. Me and Anna call this the Pond's girl layout. Doesn't she look like a ponds model? With the help of the pink accents of course. :) By the way this photo is raw and unedited.

Like what the title of this post says, It's a teaser pic only since this is the only photo that Anna has given me. She has tons to go through and edit but I'm in no rush. A photographer like her is a busy bee! So it's a teaser for everyone including me hehe.

On the other hand my girl Maui is having her first giveaway. Here's what's at stake!
