PRESS SAMPLE
After all the fun in the sun, some tans don't fade as fast you want them to. I, for one, have that kind of skin which takes months and months before my tan completely goes away. So if you're done with summer already and want to move on, there's one thing left to do. So how to whiten skin or at least get back your natural skintone or perhaps even lighter? Easy, peasy. Try The Queen's Essentials Ultimate Peeling Set and Body Whitening Set.
Actually I started using the Ultimate Peeling Set back in April and I wanted to write my review after I have fully tested these products myself.
To be honest, I've tried countless whitening products but I have never tried any peeling anywhere in my body. The ULTIMATE PEELING SET contains the following:
The first thing I applied in order to start my body peeling process was the Green Peeling Oil. I religiously applied it 3 x a day (or night) in 15-minute intervals. When I first slathered it I expected it to be minty like eucalyptus or camphor oil, but it really isn't. Actually it smelled like the plastic balloon I played with as a kid; the one you can buy at your friendly neighborhood sari-sari store. It feels like ordinary baby oil tinged with green upon skin contact. It didn't sting nor hurt my skin. It also didn't leave me looking like a grease ball. It somehow dried up eventually or my skin absorbed it. I did apply it at nighttime an hour or so before I went to bed.
Also I should tell you that I used this during the Holy Week last April because I figured I may need a couple of days to stay indoors due to the peeling and what better time to do it, right?! You are supposedly only to use it on your upper extremities first and after that, your lower extremities... and not at the same time. But I'm such a rebel and a firm believer of "TIIS GANDA" so I did it at the same time. I also thought that if I am to be peeling any part of my skin, I might as well as peel my whole body!
Honestly, I thought it would take just a few days as most people peel within 3-4 days before starting to use the creams soon after. But my skin is very stubborn so it took well over a week before I really started to peel. My hands were the first to start peeling and soon after it was my legs then my arms and my elbow, followed by my back. I didn't use it for my underarms because I felt I didn't need to because they're fine plus the fact that you are not to use any product (soap, deodorant, etc) during the peeling process made me wary. You can take a bath but don't put anything on the parts where you are to be peeling as per instructions.
It took all my self-control to not scrape them off! I was so tempted to just
peel it all! But it's obvious that you shouldn't because then it's just like baking a cake and taking it out of the oven prematurely, or impatiently harvesting a mango when it's not yet fully ripe. Umm, you get the picture. But good things come to those wait... And waiting was just what I did.
Notice I had darker skin from our Summer Starter vacation at Plantation Bay last March. And afterwards, I had my normal skintone back and even lighter with the use of the Body Whitening Set as well. (Review on this on another blog post! Stay tuned!) Also during the peeling process, note that skin becomes super itchy and that's what the hydrocortisone lotion which is included in the set is for.
When my body peeling was complete, it was time to apply the creams. Here they are...
And finally, the results after 2 weeks.
I truly believe that skin whitening products will be so much more effective to use now that there's new skin they can work on. My new skin is so smooth, it almost feel like a baby's skin! Even the part on my arms that becomes really itchy when it's cold is absolutely gone! I couldn't figure out why that happened to me but assumed it must have been because of the water right after Yolanda (Haiyan) struck my hometown and we had to find water somewhere else to bathe with. My arms became dry to and even Neosporin creams don't seem to help it. But after finishing the Ultimate Peeling Set from The Queen's Essentials, my arms are a million times better! No more itching and dry skin! OMG! Thank goodness!!! And thank you so much TQE!
The Queen's Essentials offers not only this awesome Ultimate Peeling Set
but other beauty and skincare products to address all your concerns. Check them out and add them on Facebook and Instagram.

Hello, everyone! I'm back with an eyeshadow feature and a new giveaway! Are you excited as I am? Okay, here we go...
Because one #EOTD isn't enough and I have two eyes, I figured why not do a back-to-back DARK vs BRIGHT makeup look?! Here's a closer look at the two.
DARK EYES:
BRIGHT EYES:
The first one featuring dark eyeshadow colors using the crease cut technique in black and purple is quite daring so it's not really a wearable eyeshadow unless you work nights at a bar or an entertainer or if you're going to paint the town red on a girl's night out. Paired with bold red lips (Avon Ultra Glimmerstick in Brick Red with + MAC Charmed I'm Sure from the Marilyn Monroe collection) and a light pink blush (Colour Collection Color Intense Powder Blush in Rosy Affair), you're ready to go.
The second look for me is a fresh and dainty one which you can wear during the daytime or if you wanna look like a fairy goddess or something. Either way, this is the kind of look I usually put on using a highlighter (TheBalm Mary Lou Luminizer) and paired with a peach blush (Canmake Powder Cheeks) and pinkish nude lips (Avon Ultra Glimmersticks lip liner in Peach Envy and + MAC Freckletone).
So which one do you like best? :) Do you like to be DARK & DAZZLING or BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL? Let me know by joining the raffle contest through the RAFFLECOPTER widget below and 2 lucky winners will get these beauty loots from yours truly and Pretty Angel Shoppe who is also sponsoring this giveaway.

I wanted to meet the New Year with a bang or "pasabog" (thus, the giveaway). But I also wanted to create a look that will let me shine and give positive vibes to usher in 2014. So I picked gold... I created 2 looks, one for daytime and the other for nighttime.
The sun won’t shine until you put the umbrella away. Be free. Every day may not be good, but there’s something good in every day. For 2014: Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours.
It's another brand-new year and what better way to celebrate it with another giveaway! This time I'm going to give one lucky blog reader this awesome skincare package. There are CETAPHIL, Gluta-C, and Moringa-O products up for grabs!
As a rule when it comes to beauty, I always believe that beautiful skin is important. Makeup can only do so much to hide flaws and imperfections, but when you have great skin then perhaps there's no need for makeup noh? Which is why I am sharing with you these products that I find very helpful to get that young, glowing skin at whatever age. It's so easy to join, everyone. You know the drill.
a Rafflecopter giveaway
That's it! Tell your friends, neighbors, dogs, cats, and anyone who wishes to have radiant-looking skin to join the giveaway! The more, the merrier! But oh, you must have a valid Philippine address to join the contest so I can ship your prize for FREE! Yayyy! Good luck and stay tuned for more BEAUTY giveaways coming soon...
My wish for everyone this 2014: May this new year turn all your dreams into reality and all your efforts into great achievements. Because if there's one thing that 2013 taught me, it's HOW TO APPLY MAKEUP PROPERLY and distinguish one makeup brush from another. LOL! That, for me, is a MAJOR, MAJOR achievement. Go and check out my TOP 3 eye brushes which I can't seem to live without now. 'Coz I'm vain, like that. Tee hee. So what did 2013 teach you?

After browsing through my blog entries over the years, I feel really accomplished right now. From a lost little girl to a rebellious twenteen, a social butterfly turned solitary then to bouts of anger and depression and manic moments, all of these dramas and adventures make this blog my most treasured memoir. I highly encourage everyone to start a blog or write a private journal if you're the shy type. Trust me, after a decade it's going to be worth it!

Tee hee. Now happily married with a doting @mrnoodleboy and a lively little @Noodlelito, I'm still living my life like an open book. 😊

When I was a kid, we used to have these "paradas" that take us to the pier/Ormoc City port whenever we go to Cebu and these are the ones who meet us also when we arrive from Cebu. This was during the 80s and the early 90s. Then progress came and we lost the old ways. But now it's time to relive those carriage days with our very own ORMOC Tartanilya Ride! Tour around the City Plaza and see why Ormoc has been awarded the cleanest and greenest city in Region 8 consecutively for years.

And now for more fun, my dear fellow Ormocanons, Fran-Con Viaje Internationale, our city's official Tartanilya operator is hosting a raffle contest for a week (ends on 10/19/2013) and the winner gets to go on a FREE Kalesa/Tartanilya Ride! So easy to join, just enter via rafflecopter below.

Good luck and watch out for Ormoc City's TUGOB Festival happening on our beloved city's Charter Day on October 20th!

Today I received quite an awesome and totally unexpected grand surprise from Cetaphil Philippines. I happened to start using Cetaphil in 2011 when the NoodleLito's pedia prescribed it to treat his skin allergies because I also found it beneficial for my skin. Then I won even more products from Cetaphil's social media promo earlier this year. So basically I've been using this for a while now and NoodleLito's skin rashes haven't come back since.
Although my skincare regimen alters significantly depending on my skin condition because I get frequent breakouts (which I now attribute to hormones). You already probably know that I have sensitive/acne-prone/oily skin. Ugh. Honestly, if I get those horrible and huge pimples such as when Aunt Flo is about to come visit, I do my Celeteque regimen. I exfoliate like mad after that then I follow this up with a Neutrogena skin routine, and when my face stars to clear up, that's when I use Cetaphil products. It really is a vicious cycle and I wish I could just stick with Cetaphil especially now that I know how to effectively use it. I used to wet my face first but found out that it doesn't do much that way.
NOTE: For me, the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser works best when used without water. The dry route as I'd like to call it. How? Just apply the cleanser generously all over the face then use baby wipes to clean it off. It leaves my face very soft and clean, not dry at all, and moisturizes my face enough for my skin type.
Just today I was blessed enough to receive a ginormous package from Cetaphil Philippines, so now I am sharing with you some products that I think you might also love if you're not already using it. One lucky winner, who must be a Philippine resident or has a Philippines address I can ship the prize to, will receive a Cetaphil loot bag. All you need to do is join the giveaway via Rafflecopter below (wait for it to load!) and this raffle will promptly end on September 30, 2013. I shall announce the winner on October 1st. :)
