Unboxing my Perfectly Pixi Glamour Box

Hello Beauties!!! we are here again with another episode of "UNBOXING" :) like you i am so excited with this box, although the content is not surprising anymore since this Glamour Box edition was out for quite some time so I've seen these Pixi box from other V/blogs. Anyway for those who is not Familiar with Glamour Box here's a little info about this awesome shop. Glamour Box  is an Online shop that offers variety of cosmetic brands, from beauty products to skincare and make up tools, they also have limited edition Boxes which you can subscribe for 1290.00 php plus shipping if you're within Manila area i think it's 80.00 php but if your from outside Manila it's 110.00 php. They Feature different brands each time they release a new box, last time they featured BYS, Eye of Horus, Inglot and more. You can check there site HERE .

This Pixi Box is actually my 1st subscription box from them that is why i am so excited that i finally got these babies, so without further a due here is a short video of my Unboxing Moment :) .

What's cool about these Subscription Boxes is that you pay only half the price of the product that you will be receiving, often times the content of the box is 3 times of the amount that you paid. here's a detail of the products that i got from my Perfectly Pixi Box.

Pixi Book of Beauty Minimal Make up ( click here for product link ). This product alone cost 1,290.00 php, so to be exact you only paid for this one and the rest of the other products are free :) !! This Palette has 4 eyeshadows, 2 shimmers and 2 mattes, 2 highlighters one has a shimmery bronzey color, the other one has a luminous white shimmer color, one peachy blush and one matte taupe for contour. This Pallete is very light it is perfect if you want a Natural look or a fresh nude make up. 

Pixi Make up Melting Cleansing Cloth (click here for product link ). This cost 499.00 php it has 40 cloths that you can use to remove your make up easily. What i like about this is it has a lock cover which you can close and the product inside is not exposed to air w/c can help preserve it, some cleansing cloths only have that strip cover and it leaves the whole product open thus drying up the cloths inside,  Each cloths contains Chamomile and Grapeseed oil which soothes and calms the skin. 

Shea Butter Lip Balm (click here for product link). This little cutie cost 420.00 php, i know it's a bit pricey for a lip balm but this product claims to contain beneficial ingredient which help soothe and nourish you lips. I am not a "LIP BALM" person i rarely wear one so i don't really buy them, but still since this one is from Pixi then i assume that this can give miracle to nourished my dry lips hehhehe. 

Pixi Glow Tonic 15ml  (click here for product link).  This product comes in 3 different size the 250ml for 1690.00 php, 100ml for 990.00php and the 15ml for 390.00 php. I must admit i thought this was one of those product that's similar to a Tanning lotion hahahaha i was so wrong. According to Mr. Google my mentor (giggle) this is a Skincare where it works like an exfoliating / toner which helps remove dead skin cells, revitalized your skin and will give you a healthy glow. Like any other Skin care one has to use it for a certain period of time for you to really see the result, but since every beauty blogger and vlogger has been raving this product it makes me want to try it out my self hoping for a positive effect (fingers crossed).

Pixi Lash Booter Mascara Blackest Black (click here for product link).  This is one of the best mascara that i ever used although it is a little bit expensive 840.00 php  but i must say it is really worth. You see i am one of those who has these really long and thick eyelashes but it is very hard to curl, my lashes were going straight down so one important thing that i look when trying out mascaras is if how long can it keep my lashes curl upward, so far the only mascara that i have been using is the Maybeline Hyper Curl it was the only one which kept my lashes curl all day. When the box arrive this was the one i immediately used because i already threw away my Hyper curl (never use a mascara if it is more than 6 mos). I was actually a bit worried that it will give me the same result when i used the revlon and the loreal mascaras they were messy and only curled my lashes for 5 mins. but to my surprise this one work even better than with the hyper curl (i mean it should be!! it was way too expensive than the hypercurl). it was really easy to use all you need is one coat and you can see the difference (but i always use multiple coats anyway hehehe). i will definitely repurchased this.

Last but not the least they gave me this Pop Beauty BB Lip Balm for free ( click here for product link). You can buy this for 395.00 php. I bought this Lip balm kit on my last Beauty Manila Haul but i ended up giving it away, the product is actually good very moisturizing and comfortable to use, however like what i said i am not a Lip Balm Person so i don't really use this, still i'm happy that Glamour Box even gave me a surprise freebie. Thank you GlamourBox!!

I paid 1,400.00 php (including the 110.00 shipping) but the total value of the product inside the box is 3,834.00 php including the free Pop Beauty Lip Balm. Obviously i save half!! i'm glad i bought this box, and i will be buying more boxes from them so stay tuned for more Unboxing !!

So that's it for my Perfectly Pixi Glamour Box, Till next time!! thanks for dropping by loves!! Mwah!!

Unboxing my 4th Althea Box

After a week of waiting finally my Althea Pink Box arrived :). To give a little background about this company for those who are not familiar with it, Althea Korea is an Online Beauty shop that offers Korea's best Make up and Skincare products straight from Korea. They launched their site last February 2015, since then they became really popular here in the Philippines mainly because they offer brands which are not easy to find in the country, plus their prices are lower compared to those in the malls, so if your into Korean Cosmetics this online shop is Perfect for you! you can check their site HERE.

Now let's proceed with the "UNBOXING" part :)

Here's a little detailed info of each product that i bought... 

1st is the Healing Tea Garden Tea Tree Cleansing Water from the brand THE SAEM (click here for product link). The product claims to be a One step cleansing water, which means you don't need to wash your face with facial foam and water you can just use this instead. This product also claims to removes excess sebum from pores because it contains Australian Tea Tree components,  it can help minimize acne/pimples and helps control oiliness. Last but not the least this product also claims to be irritation-free and is perfect for those with sensitive skin.

In my personal Opinion it is always a must to wash your face with a good facial foam atleast once a day to keep it clean, so the ''one step cleansing water''  feature is just too good to be true. For the other two features it is possible since Tea Tree is known for it's ability to minimize and heal acne and pimples, also i notice that this cleansing water has a similar formulation as the Etude House Wonder Pore freshner (w/c by the may my favorite cleansing water) very mild, has very low alcohol content so it does not give that strong scent like in other toners. 

2nd is the Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel Mist from the brand Nature Republic (click here for product link). This Product Claims to be Mild and Soothing also since this is a water base it is safe for both dry and oily skin types. This also contains Aloe Vera from California which is known to be one of the best type of aloe vera in the world (i don't know if what are the different types of Aloe Vera but it was stated in their product info that they have the 'BEST' specie of aloe vera ).  I bought this because i was really impress with their Aloe Vera Soothing Gel(click here for product link) which i used as a moisturizer and included it on my Beauty regimen both night and day, so far it gave me a very good result, my skin never dries up and after just 2 weeks of using it my skin is so much healthier and glowing. Personally i think keeping your skin well hydrated and moisturized really helps a lot in avoiding skin irritations, plus it will help minimize premature skin aging. 

3rd is the Skin Solution Magic Powder (30ml) from the brand Onsaemeein (click here for product link). This Product claims to help get rid of pimples and acne by applying it on your erupted red spots, it has 3 major components that is said to help the skin, 1st it contains Dryopteris Crassirhimoza extract an Asian fern which helps in controllinf vitality of Glucosidase and help tone the skin. 2nd it contains Salicylic Acid which helps gently remove dead skin cells, Lastly it contains Witch Hazel Extract which helps protecting and soothes skin.

4th is the It's My Sun Cream (50ml) from the brand It's My (click here for product link ). This Product has two variation the Moist which has the SPF 45 and the Multi Proof that has SPF 50. The former w/c is the one that i bought has no white cast since it has a lower SPF so it's definitely designed to wear under your make up, while the latter is water proof and focuses on moisturizing the skin, designed for extra sun protection when your in the beach.

5th is the Popular No Sebum Mineral Powder from the brand Innisfree (click here for product link). This Product is really one of those popular make up cult from the Korean Beauty Cosmetics, it has a Jumbo size limited edition which of course i was not able to buy since it was sold out right after they posted it in their Site, but still i bought this one because i am really curious if this is really as good as they say. 

This powder focuses on oil control, and it is also translucent so it is really good in setting up your make up or touching it up just in case you become a greasy ball through out the day.

Last But not the least is this [Fruit Juice Makeup] Fresh Fruit Lip & Cheek Trio from the brand SkinFood (Click here for product link). This is a two way product, you can either use it as a liptint or blusher, it has 6 variation of colors  #1 Orange, #2 Strawberry (the one that i got) , #3 Cherry Tomato, #4 Fig, #5 Fruit Mix, and #6 Plum.

What i love about SkinFood is they use mostly organic ingredients which in my opinion is very safe to use if you have sensitive skin, plus they smell so so so good and delicious hahaha. Anyway this Trio Lip/cheek Tint is actually very similar to the Etude house Snowy dessert which i also love. 

So that's it for my 4th Althea Box, can't wait to try these products ... thanks for dropping by !! till next time loves ..

Shopping at Adidas Ph Online shop

Hello Beauties and Shopaholics!!! I know it's been quite some time since my last blog, i was a bit busy with my career (wink..wink) Anyways today i'll be sharing my experience in shopping at Adidas  Ph Online ( Adidas Ph ) . A Few weeks ago i was browsing in different online shops looking for Slip On Sneakers , at that time i didn't know that Adidas has an online Store I know that they have Website just like the one with Nike but i was not aware that they have a shop, I was really happy and excited to see that they do sell online and my excitement only grew when i spotted the "OUTLET" category ( Adidas Outlet MASSIVE SALE ITEMS).

Their Website is really "Sporty"looking (obviously) personally i think it's really the same with Zalora and Lazada they also have Large Photo gallery where it automatically hover from on side catering different photos of their featured Products, on the header they have that drop down effect everytime you point the cursor on the tabs (i'm sorry i don't know how to call these stuff) also on the header bears the Adidas Logo and on the uppermost right area are the Log in , sign up and tracker Tabs.

Over all their site is really pretty but it's just a typical Online shop Lay out so for those who are an online shopper junkie this will not be complicated, even for those who are first timers as long as you can read and understand English your good to go.

If you have an account you can directly go to their sign in page or if you have no account just create one by simply clicking on the sign up button then fill up all necessary information. After you sign up you will receive a notification email from Adidas informing you for a successful account.

Your account Dashboard contains all your information such as email, mobile number and shipping address. You can also see the items than you purchased as well as your returned items status.

As I was checking their Outlet category I was really blown away by all those 30%-70% off items. By the way take note that their sizes are in UK so don't forget TO CHECK THEIR SIZE CHART because you might end up ordering for the wrong size like me (i was too excited). You can check the counter part US Size by Clicking the photo of the product then just above the "Select Size" box  for the Chart Size conversion table.

The Size Chart contains different size conversion, so from UK you can check their Chart for its US size, for example if you size 6 in US then your size in UK is 4.5

If you're ready to buy the item just simply click on the ADD TO BAG button, then click the BAG ICON on the upper right corner, a drop down menu will appear the simply click CHECK OUT.

 After clicking Check out you will be directed to the items inside your shopping bag for you to recheck the items, their sizes and the total amount to be paid. When you're ready to pay simply click on the Check out button then you will be directed to the shipping address page (ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ADRESS MAKE SURE IT IS CORRECT TO AVOID HASSLE) , click CONTINUE then You will Proceed to the PAYMENT PAGE which is the final step, pick your preferred payment option then click ORDER NOW.

After a successful order you will receive an email confirming your order, then after a few days they will notify you via email if your parcel has been shipped. Normally if you're like me which resides outside Manila it would take 3-4 Business days for your Parcel to arrive so you have to be extra patient. 

Just in case if you got the wrong size (like me) or you don't like the items that you bought you can return it within 14 days upon receipt of your item, also the original shoe box /plastic for clothing and tags should be intact in order for return to be accepted.  You can check their Return terms and conditions on the EASY RETURN tab for further info. 

I also called their Hotline sadly it is not Toll Free so if your outside Manila you really need to pay a few bucks for a call, and yes you really have to call them because their costumer rep will be making a report and he/she will be giving you instructions on what to do next, then they will send you that report, you will print it out and you need to attached it to the box before returning. Another downfall is unlike Zalora and Lazada that offers free returns, Adidas on the other hand does not offer that, meaning you will be the one to pay the courier when you return the item. 

you will receive an email if your return was approved by their inspecting team you will be issued a full refund on the amount that you returned, for example if you ordered 5 items then you decided to just return 3 of the items then they will only refund the total price for that item. It will also take about a max of 14 working days for the refund to process, in my case since i only use Credit Cards it took 7 days for the reversal to appear on my credit card account. 

Currently Adidas Does not have an Exchange option, meaning if you got the wrong size you need to return the item and purchase the right size. Anyway here is the stuff that i bought :)

Adidas Neo Park St Slip on 

Adidas Neo Vs Vulc Summer Shoes

Over all i would rate Adidas online shop 7 out of 10 stars, the only downfall the return is a bit hassle not to mention you need to pay extra cash, but their Costumer Representative are very accommodating although i did have some trouble since i think they were hiring chinese people, so the english has a different accent their twang is a bit off that i have a hard time talking to them but they were very helpful. I would probably shop here again but i will definitely make sure not to make mistake in ordering i wouldn't want to go through another return process hehehe. 

Thank you for reading my Shopping experience with Adidas Ph, hopefully this blog is useful to those who is planning to purchase on this site... Till Next Time :)
