Chocolate, yes, it’s chocolate. A guilt free treat! This masque offers a feast of creamy delights – it’s outrageous! This deep cleansing masque helps unblock pores, moisturizes and heals for skin that glows with health. It smells incredible – imagine these – Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter – creamy heaven. Enjoy!"
It’s a small packet which is cheap to try for the first time and maintain if you just need deep cleansing for the face once a month (If you do not use much makeup, once a month will do. If you use heavy makeup and are exposed to pollution everyday for most of your work, once a week is advised).
Montagne Jeunesse is a very low-budget range, but you get an excellent product that makes your skin feel smooth, toned and refined.Not only this, you get more than one application per sachet. As a thin layer, you can use it three to four times. As a thick layer, you can use it twice!
I wish I knew how to style my hair and apply make-up like a pro. It will surely let me save so much money whenever I need to dress myself up for events. Plus I finally would get to use all the make-up I have in my stash (It is really too many for me to wear – and I just stay home most of the time!). Good news for those who went to cosmetology school to learn more about beauty and how to make people more beautiful, you can now look for a job match online at BeautyJobs.com! Owned by Regency Beauty Institute, Batson stated the BeautyJobs is a natural outgrowth of the promises the company makes to its students and its industry partners: namely, to help students launch successful careers, and to help industry partners find promising new talent.
I bought some new underwear at Victoria’s secret a few weeks ago and I am expecting to have them in the first week of March. I would need safe diet pills though to make sure I will look as sexy as the models in the picture!
I love the designs I got though – it makes me motivated enough to try and finally lose weight!
I am not getting any younger! I need to take care of my skin and up until recently, I have been thinking of investing on a wrinkle cream – not really the heavy duty kind but one that moisturizes and prevents fine lines. A quick search at Sephora.com revealed the ff. items:

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. It is definitely an asset to a person. It is no wonder women go to extra length to accentuate their eyes – with eye make-up, nicely-shaped and groomed eyebrows and thick eyelashes. I have been one of those unfortunate souls who were born with short lashes. I have come to grow accustomed to wearing mascara everyday to accentuate whatever is with me in the first place but I always wish if I can have false eyelashes glued to my true ones everyday and it wouldn’t be as expensive and time-consuming.
I heard about eyelash extentions phoenix when I searched about eyelash extensions. For $79.00 a set, you will have semi-permanent eyelashes extension phoenix that is guaranteed to last for two to three months. In doing eyelashes extensions phoenix, natural hair semi-permanent lashes are individual natural hairs that are applied with surgical glue, the length of which can be discussed with your technician before application.

If you have long lashes to begin with, but would want them to be thickened a bit, you can try having them tinted so that you would not have to apply mascara all the time. It will also look more natural.
We are often enamored by the beauty and glamor of models in the cover of magazines. They seem so perfect, without a misplaced hair in sight, having the perfect curves in the right places. Some cynics might just attribute everything to Photoshop and while this might be true in most cases (a little editing would help!), it needs to be remembered that beauty needs to be there in the first place. The rest, well, can be achieved with a little work, enhancing and “faking”.
Take for example, breast enhancements. I think if you run a survey right now, 90% of women would reply that the part of their bodies they are most unhappy about would be their breasts. Most of them are open to surgery but are scared to have something foreign in their body for a long time, so what do they do? Fake it!
These adhesive bras from www.undercover-glamour.com would do the trick. While most push-up bras will work in shirts and dresses, the adhesive bra will be perfect for backless, strapless or halter-neck dresses! You can choose among the Bobra and Freebra. The Bobra is a fabric, strapless and backless bra that creates a desired rounded look to your bust without restrictive bra straps while the Freebra has extra silicone padding on the bra cups that gives you that extra lift and volume without bra straps.
What about breast enhancers that can help you change sizes? These chicken fillets, as they are called, enhance bra size without the risk of invasive surgery and the accompanying anxiety (and big amount of money). They are lovingly called “Voila!”
See for yourself!
Nothing vs. Voila!

Vanity has been given much attention and focus right now. You can blame celebrities for it, or the media for hyping up the need for beautifying, relaxing and pampering oneself from time to time. You see evidence among the the sprouting of spas and salons like mushrooms everywhere in the metropolis. Even the sales of bath products are booming. The downside to this all is that sometimes due to the over flux of supplies in the market, consumers no longer can tell the difference.
Hothouse Botanicals guarantees that all their products are 100% Vegan, 100% organic, contains no animal ingredients and have never been tested on animals. I am actually drawn to a nicely-packaged bath product and theirs are no exception.
This is their lavender scent collection – (from L-R) the aromatherapy bath salt, body butter, fizzy foaming aromatherapy bath, whipped sugar scrub and soy scented candle.
I love body scrubs, if only I can afford to have it done at spas every week I would. But getting this complete line would be close as I just need to set the mood in the bathroom, light candles, set in the bubble bath and relax in the tub.
What scent do you like?
Sunscreen. Even if dark clouds block the sun, damaging UVA and UVB rays still manage to infiltrate this shade and cause our skin to burn, darken, and age prematurely. Be sure to always have a supply of sunscreen in your boudoir as your skin’s year-round protection. Try Nivea, Banana Boat, Watsons, and Coppertone.
Conditioner. One of the very few things you probably hate about summer is how it causes your hair to dry up. So never neglect hair conditioning during your bath ritual. Stock up on conditioners that are meant to provide your hair added protection from the sun, such as Creamsilk Summer Shine. This way, you have vibrant and silky hair no matter what season!
Body scrubs. So you’ve burned yourself golden, but pretty soon, that tanned look will be out of style. How to deal? Simply exfoliate. Scrub out your dead skin cells to reveal radiant and smooth skin. Get a yummy-smelling body scrub that brings back summer memories in the process. Try Radox Body Wash, Shower Gel, and Body Scrub.
Facial masks. You shouldn’t neglect your face in the attempt to restore your radiant complexion. Treat your tired, dry, sun-damaged skin to a rejuvenating D-I-Y facial mask. Try Watsons Label facial essence masks (available in Green Tea and Bird’s Nest).
Lip balm. It’s a big peeve to get really chapped lips during summer, as the heat burns and makes our lips dry. Unfortunately, no matter what season, the sun can always damage the delicate skin of our pouters. Protect your lips with a lip balm that has moisturizers and SPF, such as this one from Watsons.
Umbrella. In summer, it shielded you from the sun’s intense heat. Now, it protects you from frequent rain showers. With such unpredictable weather conditions, every woman should be armed with an umbrella all year round. Check out Watsons’ collection of cute and affordable umbrellas.
All products are available in Watsons branches nationwide.
