Celeteque Gentle Exfoliating Facial Wash

This is not a paid advertisement. I just love the experience with this product.

I have too oily skin since I was a teenager that’s why I am desperately looking for a face companion. I ventured in many facial wash (both local and imported brands) and ended using Celeteque. After a few days of using this product I got the sheer touch I’m longing. And while writing this blog I checked the contents on the back packaging and guess what, I just found out that this one is manufactured here in the Philippines.

They have 2 variants of their facial wash. I used to have the Celeteque Facial Wash with NMF (natural moisturizing factor) and since my skin needs some revitalizing, I bought the Celeteque Exfoliating Facial Wash. This goes with a dual vitamin nourishing beads infused with Vitamin E and C that helps nourish and protect the skin. It’s hypo-allergenic so it’s safe to sensitive skin.

It costs only Php86.00 at Beauty by SM for a 60ml bottle. Just pour a little amount on your palm and massage to your face on a circular motion. So easy to use. I'll definitely have this on my must-have list.

Trip to Sophie Martin

We are assigned to do a special task: to be members of the Sophie Martin Club. Me and my good friend SA travel all the way from Makati to Shaw Mandaluyong where their head office is located at around 3:00PM.

Upon entering the store bags, wallets and make-up will welcome you. By the way I would like to congratulate the management for having such a customer focused enironment that they have down there - from guard to the cashier. 3 claps for you guys.

The welcome pack to new members are made up of high quality materials. The brochure is printed with a crisp pictures, perfect if you are presenting it to clients. The Marketing Strategy Manual is clear and concise. The freebies are not that exciting but it also counts.

Everything about this company is branding, they presented themselves so well that they forgot to check the quality of their products. I am a bagaholic but I would not dare to buy something fro this shop. They might argue that they use quality materials but th products would speak for itself. We check on the cosmetics, darn I would not dare to use it. It's strong scent would be equally describe as a kiddy eraser full of lead content. The brochures are strategically choreographed that it was too good compared to the end product.

My rating for this brand: Not worth a try

Cute Kero-keropi Lens Case

I've been using contact lenses for more than 4 years now and it is quite inconvenient to carry along a big bottle of solution. Today my dear friend SA gave me a simple surprise, a kero-keropi contact lens case in green (our favorite color).
The case is made of fiber-plastic making it a little fragile. I found it too tight to close the lid, you have
The pocket size case goes with a small solution bottle, a plastic twisor and the lens container. to push it hard for you to lock it. But since everything is packed on one case it is very convenient to slide in your carry-along pouch when your traveling. This really is a useful thing to have.
I am wondering what the occassion to deserve a gift fr SA but I can't find of anything so I assume it's just one of her sweet moments. She knows me better than anyone else in the office thus she know my needs, wants and sometimes even the likes. Thanks friend.

Kotex Luxe Ultrathin Pads

I wasn't expecting any mail, visitor and much more a parcel today, but to my surprise I finally received my Kotex Luxe Sampler from Cosmopolitan Magzine. We (me and all the girls in the office) signed up for this.

I've been a fan of Kotex since the very first day I enter womanhood. It really is a constant piece on my must-have list. It doesn't irritate me at all plus they come in a revolutionize combination of dry-net and cotton-like covers that absorbs quickly leaving you feeling dry and comfy.

Do not compromise if you can. Experience Kotex Luxe.
