August favourites




August is almost over and i know it's been a while since i last posted a monthly favourite so i thought i'd post a couple of my new and old faves. I'm still feeling a little groggy from our long drive. The trip to Siargao was beyond amazing, i can't even begin to explain everything. .it was just so magical. A blog post all about our Siargao trip will be posted in the following days. Let me just recharge and collect my thoughts because i'm seriously still on cloud nine as we speak. But before everything else, let's talk about my favourites before this month ends.

Herbal Essences hello hydration moisturizing conditioner (orchid & coconut milk)
-This is what i've been using during our Siargao trip and it really made my beach hair feel soft and let's not forget the smell. .i'm hooked! 

Palmolive body wash (milk & honey)
I literally cannot skip this in my daily shower routine. Just try this and you'll know what i mean. 

Pond's BB cream
I've been using this for almost a year now and i can honestly say that i've never touched my korean BB creams since then. I love that it's very light weight, it doesn't have any strong scent, it covers my blemishes and red spots perfectly and it blends well on the skin. I wear the lightest shade and it doesn't look too white on me, it's a bit darker on my skin tone which i really like. It even has SPF 30 and although it says whitening i haven't really noticed any whitening effect on my skin which is a plus for me since i'm not trying to whiten my face.

Maybelline great lash mascara
A cult favourite and a staple on my makeup bag. I normally don't go for the non water proof mascaras but this one is really nice. It's a lot easier to remove and it doesn't make me look like a panda like most non water proof mascaras.

Maybelline color tattoo 24hr gel cream eyeshadow (Bad to bronze)
I've searched high and low for this product. It wasn't available in the local department stores so i had to go online but for some reason i purchased a totally different product. Typical me. But i was really surprised to see this in one of the maybelline stalls in Robinson's butuan. I literally just went for it and stormed to the counter. I love that it's very pigmented and it doesn't crease. I'm definitely going back to check out the other shades.

English tea shop (cranberry vanilla delight)
I have to be honest, The taste takes a bit of getting used to but once it settles the more i find it calming. Everytime i drink a cup the more i sleep better. Plus it's organic and it has antioxidants which is good for you. 

And that is all! :) have a great week ahead!
