Snoe Beso Balm Review


Hello again! So this is just a quick review for a lip balm!
image
This is my recent lip balm from Snoe, Beso Balm (P149), got it from Robinsons Galleria. This is the first time that I bought a balm with mint. 
image
READ the warning and instructions! :))
image
List of ingredients
image
I just want to see how much product is there. :))
What I like:
  • It makes my lips soft and moisturized!
  • Glides smoothly when applied, and it doesn’t feel sticky
  • The scent of mint! Surprisingly I liked it.
  • It doesn’t feel waxy or oily
  • Refreshing feel when applied on lips. Cooling sensation? ^^
  • Very witty warning and instruction.^^
What I don’t
  • No seal
  • No spf
*It has a flaky granule when I first opened it, I looked for the expiration date but there is none, but I doesn’t mind those granules now, I didn’t feel it on my lips anyway. 
This is what I’m currently using and I love it. :)

Project Vanity Event: 5 Years of Vanity


One of the blogs I usually visit and read is Project Vanity by Ms. Liz Lanuzo. Every time I go online, I go to nuffnang x to check for the updates then visit her blog. So when she announced that she will be having an event for her blog’s 5th anniversary, I got excited too! She chose 40 readers to be included in her guest list, and luckily I got an email. :) But its an open event, everyone can go. What is my favorite post from her blog? Advice from a 25 year old.
image
It was held in Beauty Bar in Bonifacio High Street. We came maybe before 2:30 pm*, and there were a lot of people already inside. We registered first, then they gave our loot bag, name tag and a ribbon to claim our drink in cbtl.
image
image
We saw Ms. Liz right away. She welcomed us and told us the program will start at 3pm. She is so nice and friendly, I was shy to talk so I think I just smiled all the time. omg.
image
image
image
*Eyes sparkling. These were the makeup that were used for the demo.
image
Ms. Karrots or Tita K hosted the event. Good thing I watched Live Love Lolzthe night before, where Ms. Liz is her guest. She is so funny and friendly!
image
image
And now, the makeup begins!
image
She used Fairy Drops Candy BB cream.
image
Remember: Use your ring finger when applying concealer, I think you know why. :)
image
Eyebrow is the most important part! She used K-pallete Lasting 2way eyebrow. (oh I want it! chocolate brown <3)  
image
K-pallete Eyeliner and Fairy Drops Platinum Mascara^^
image
Done!^^ (Can you see the lady wearing white? She is Ms. Cheryl, the woman who brought K-Pallete here :) )
image
Ms. Nelly See, the beautiful owner of Pinkbox. She gave a talk and shared how her business started. She has 5 kids and manages her business too, she’s a wonder woman indeed. 
image
Before you say “No, I don’t think its possible”, ask yourself first, “Have you tried it?” If there’s a will, there’s a way. These are the words that I will always remember.
image
This is the last part of the program, Ask Liz! live. She got teary eyed too. aww.
image
image
Snaps is also there! Here are Tita K’s #likeadonya photos! :)
image
Picture again with Ms. Liz and Snaps. Okay there’s something weird with my smile, super big?. haha.
image
More pictures! I also met Kim of Kimpossibly Gorgeous
image
Here is my friend, she won the raffle!
image
Here are the goodies that she got. Isn’t she super lucky?!
We had fun that afternoon! Its actually my first time to attend an event like this. (Sharing. *I had dysmenorrhea attack when we were having our lunch at Nolita, that’s why we were a bit late. I was relieved for some minutes till we got to Beauty Bar, but then the pain returned and I looked so pale & sick. Fortunately the medicine that I had during lunch took effect minutes just before the program started. Gosh, that almost ruined my day.) Towards the end of the program, I saw Ms. Martha of The Beauty Junkie, but I was shy to approach her. I hope I could meet them again next time :) Thanks again to Ms. Liz! Now I’m thinking of making a blog post about my favorite bloggers! :)

Innisfree Green Tea Mineral Mist Review

Have you heard of Innisfree? Since it will be my first time to try and make a review about this korean brand, I’ll post a little background here first.
image
image
image
Do you know Yoona from SNSD (Girl’s Generation)? She is the endorser of this brand. If you are a kpop and kdrama fan, I’m sure you know her.
image
And of course, Lee Min Ho oppa <3 why so handsome? :”)
image
As of now, its not yet available locally. I’ve never tried any of their products, that’s why my sister got some items from Innisfree too when she visited Korea last month.
image
I will review the mist for now and others…to follow^^
image
I like to use facial mist before and after makeup, and anytime of the day to freshen up, ~~ summer is just around the corner too so its perfect.. 
image
Ugh, I like this Limited Edition!!! But I got the original one. I guess this is not available anymore.
image
image
image
image
Well I can’t read korean hangul, but based on my research, 4-Free system means that its free of artificial dyes, ethanol, animal material and mineral oil. 
image
I got the 50 ml which is 5000 won. I just want a small one so that I could bring it with me anywhere, and I’ve never finished a bottle of facial mist.^^ There is a bigger size too which is 150 ml.  It has a simple design and a small sticker to serve as a seal.
image
Manufacturing Date on the bottom
image
I just tried spraying it. (Etude House Wannabe Moisture Fix Mist vs. Innisfree Green Tea Mineral Mist.)
image
What I like:
  • Packaging (I like cute things but I like simple things too )
  • Refreshing
  • Light weight packaging, I can bring it with me anywhere
  • Hypoallergenic
  • Free from those 4 chemicals
  • 100% Organic Green Tea Mineral
  • Contains natural ingredients
  • Has a seal
  • Its cheap, for only 5000 won = P187
What I don’t
  • the mist spray! I mean its not so fine like my Etude House Wanna be mist or the collagen moistful mist. :( I can see small droplets of liquid on my face when I spray it. Ang lakas.
Neutral:
  • The green tea scent. I drink green tea and sometimes use the tea bag on my face, but the smell of this is quite like a strong herbal tea, but it also fades away after few seconds.
So that’s it. Till my next post. Hope you’re having a great week! :)
<3 Monica
