Raise your hands if you still get adult pimples, because I sure do! Curing adult pimples is very challenging because it could be caused by a lot of things. Allergies, the food you eat, hormones and even bad habits like frequent touching of the face. For the past few years, I try to find products that will allow me to control (not really cure) my pimples - because I realize and have come to accept that they will never leave me. I came across with Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder in Sephora Ph.
Before I bought it online, I did a couple of research and read a ton of reviews and finally decided to give it a try. Mario Badescu is actually a well-respected brand. Being around for more than 50 years, this American grown acne product actually started by giving European-style facials in a two-room Manhattan apartment. Fifty years later, Mario Badescu has been providing quality skin solutions from acne down to anti-skin aging.
Today, I am trying out Erborian CC Cream in Clair that I got as a sample from Sephora Philippines. Erborian is a Korean CC cream brand that is lauded for its light and natural look finish. I've been reading reviews about Erborian CC Cream for quite some time, however, I've been delaying the purchase because it is quite pricey. At Php 2,389 it is definitely on the high end of our budget. Good thing, Sephora offered this as a free sample! It's always best to try out really expensive products first because it is one thing to spend a fortune on beauty products, but it's definitely frustrating to buy the wrong thing, putting your money down the drain!
So, here goes my review of Erborian CC Cream in Clair.
From the Sephora Philippines website, it says that Erborian CC Cream in Clair has SPF 25 coverage, has a one-shade-fits-all color matching technology. It is paraben-free, sulfate-free and phthalate-free. Erborian CC Cream in Clair says that it contains the secret of Korean skin perfection due to its high-definition skin perfecting formula that self-adjusts to the skin tone for a flawless looking complexion and even coverage. It is enriched with centella asiatica that boosts radiance while helping to hydrate skin and protect from harmful UVA/UVB rays. It's lightweight coverage helps skin appear refined, soft and healthy-looking.
So as you know, I got this as a sample - although this is a really small package, I would say that a little bit will go a long way. This small packet can be good to up to seven applications.
I haven't blogged for years!
First I want to apologize to all those who sent me messages about the past beauty hacks. If you still need that information, just reach me through my contact page.
Last year, I discovered another cheap yet effective beauty hack that allowed me to have whiter underarms without having to spend thousands of peso going to the derma or beauty salons.
We all know how expensive this could get right? For example, an underarm whitening peel could be as much as 5k per session and you have to go through all the hassle of setting appointments after work and beating the traffic just to get there on time.

For the past two months, I have been using Vivid Essentials whitening products. I came across them by chance upon browsing Instagram, which have become the new buzz in Ph e-commerce since the downfall of Multiply.
For some of you who have heard Vivid Essentials for the first time, it is actually a successful business based in Davao City. I have used a couple of their products, and now I'm making a review of their Milk Fusion Body Bleaching Scrub.
