Anyone who uses Makeup daily should at least TRY this!

I recently made a Demo / First Impression / Review and (first ever) Hype Or Real episode of my series in my Youtube channel about this Clean It Zero balm-type makeup remover from Banila Co. 

First off, instead of buying the 100ml for Php890, I decided to opt for the Super Size (180ml) because it was obviously much more "sulit" as it was only Php1,270 

For the price difference of only Php380, you get 80ml more.

I highly recommend go for the Super Size.

Because I am telling you, YOU. WILL. LOVE. THIS.

So here's the utterly super cute packaging, lookin' so chic

With the metallic pink cap, who doesn't love Pink + White?

So it says in the packaging:

"Award-winning skin-friendly, hypoallergenic sorbet-like lightweight cleanser that goes on as solid as balm and transforms into a silky oil while effortlessly dissolving even tenacious makeup & impurities without stripping the skin. Recommended for all skin type."

Hmm, very promising right? 

Because it is indeed an amazing product that does absolutely what it claims to be capable of.

Anyway please read additional necessary information below.

So, for Filipinas, living in this hella hot country, if your room gets extremely hot like Channing Tatum's abs, please do not store your Clean It Zero or any other precious makeup/skincare products there, you might end up regretting that. We don't know the side effects exactly are but just to be sure, let's just follow what the packaging says. 

I remember when I used to love Tony Moly Floria essence, it was such an amazing product but after I forgot that I really liked it and stored it away in my hell-of-a-bedroom, and saw it again after a while, used it, BOOM, breakouts everywhere. I'm not sure if it was just a coincidence but better yet follow what the packaging says. 

So here's how it looks like inside.. 

(it broke my heart when my momma said "meh, that's just vaseline." 

like wow mom, you're saying I spent 1270 on vaseline?

but, when I made her try it too, she was left in awe)

It comes with a spatula..

How it looks like when scooped:

I swatched 8 makeup products in my hand to determine whether it can easily glide onto these and erase them all, to give a little bit more info about the longevity of these products I added some more details of each of the swatches:

MAC Ruby Woo - Longwear Matte Lipstick

La Splash Innocent Vixen - Tough to remove liquid lipstick, doesn't come off easily with Micellar

Maybelline Hyper Impact Liner - Longwearing, but easily comes off with Micellar

Etude House Highlighter Stick - easily comes off with any cleanser

Etude House Eyebrow Pencil - Needs Micellar/Cream type cleanser to completely wear off

Revlon Colorstay Concealer - Needs thick cream type makeup remover OR full routine (micellar+cleanser+toner) to wear off completely 

Kylie Lipkit Liner + Liquid Lipstick - doesn't come off with cleanser and micellar, needs oil-based lip makeup remover

And with one swipe of the Banila Co. Clean It Zero..

it already looks like this:

After a couple of seconds rubbing it onto my skin.. 

After wiping it off with a tissue paper:

Viola! It left my skin looking squeaky clean and healthy !!!

There you go, a proof that the reviews in BeautyMNL were not just for hype, but in fact, they speak of the REALest truth about this product.

I would rate this product 9/10 

It could've been 10/10 if it wasn't for the Paraben included in it, as I have read many negative things about Paraben being found in cosmetics/skincare products.

But overall, I was satisfied with the product, and I would re-purchase if I don't find something better than this one. After using this, I felt that I did not have to exert as much effort as I did with Micellar Water before, because this glides so easily, unlike the Micellar that you would have to use a cotton pad that would require pulling and rubbing motions which can be harmful to your skin.

*I've replaced my regular makeup remover (Micellar Water) with Clean It Zero because I felt that it was much more gentle on my skin as it did not require too much rubbing of a cotton pad unlike the micellar wherein I need about 4-5 pads to feel like it's enough, but then I still wash it off with a mild cleanser (COSRX Low Ph Good Morning Cleanser), so let's just go for the gentle makeup remover.

I felt like Micellar has been stressing my skin for using it regularly. 

We can use that when we travel and when we're super tired/lazy to get up and wash our faces, (a.k.a. Emergency Cases Only), but for the daily routine, let's give it up for CLEAN IT ZERO my new love.

Now, I know our skin in our hands and in our faces are very different, our faces are much more softer and more sensitive...

Here's a demo on my face + first impressions:

Extremely Affordable, Totally Fashionable.

The one shop I could never resist whenever I stumble upon their branch and bazaar. 

How can I ever resist Jukaykay? They give the best possible prices and the cutest outfits ever.

And guess what, it's like a spell cause once you touch one of their items, there's just no way you can go out without purchasing anything. I can't even go out with just 1 thing in my hand, almost all of their items are super cute and irresistible! 

I tell myself, "pick just one and go cause you don't even need new clothes"

and then go out with 3 or 5 or 6, guilty of buying 10 or more pieces from them sometimes... 

It's like Jukaykay has a magic spell cast on me that I just can't pull away from them. 

Why? Because with Jukaykay, you can spoil yourself without breaking the bank!

Their prices are mostly ranging from Php120 to Php220

You get the point, they're lovely AF. 

So here's a little preview of what you may find:

Their floral prints are so chic and easy to style!

The PINKS and other PASTEL hues are just so pretty and pleasing in the eyes

 They even have these velvet caps, kind of reminds me of the ones kpop idols wear when they go out in "disguise"so fans won't recognize them and go crazy.

Feel free to wear one and feel like a kpop idol heehee

It's too easy to look cute with Jukaykay. JUST. LOOK. At these babies:

Look effortlessly chic in these outfits

And these are perfect for SUMMER!

Affordable and Easy Way To Cover Problematic Skin | Make It Happen with MAYBELLINE!

Can we just take this moment to be so thankful that such a great brand made their products way more affordable than we've ever asked for?

The permanent mark down, the regular bonus SALE.. and the on-going 25% OFF for the month of MAY. I can't express how happy I am for what's going on with Maybelline.

Almost like their trying to help us really make whatever we want, HAPPEN. I've been even much more hooked with Maybelline because of Asia's Next Top Model Season 5. And so I was inspired to share my very own Makeup Tutorial inspired by ASNTM  and Maybelline, but mainly because I really want to share my own experience, as I used to get really stressed and down whenever I get a lot of breakouts, and people emphasize that they see it in my face as if I don't see them in the mirror lol

So here's my affordable and easy way to cover my flaws!
Because even with our flaws, we can still be #flAWESOME ❤

You can actually sell pre-loved / pre-owned makeup! (and there's an online group for it!)

I recently bought Coty Airspun Loose Powder in Translucent Extra Coverage..

Reason(s) why I bought it:
- It has about 600+ reviews in Makeup Alley
- A lot of beauty bloggers rave about it
- It's a huge powder (2.3 oz or 65g)
- Very cheap for the quantity you get
    (Got it for Php580 from IG: @ChedelynCosmetics)

Reason(s) why I hate it:
 - Turns out the scent of this product was too strong for me
 - It's finish was not as smooth as I thought it would be











I think many makeup lovers tend to experience this, well I sort of did, many many times in the past. I read reviews so I'd have lower chance of buying products I would regret buying, (cause I don't want to waste money), but somehow you'd still find yourself unsatisfied with the product unlike those who gave positive feedback about it online. I guess we all just have our own preference with makeup.
And when we buy online, we have much higher possibility of regretting our purchase or getting the product in the wrong shade.

Which is why, this 2017, I was so happy to find out and share that there is an online community in facebook wherein we can Sell or Swap makeup. Many thanks to Admin Farrah for approving my request to join! The (mostly) girls here are very polite and transactions are usually hassle-free because of the systematic guidelines made by the admins.

My personal experience in selling pre-loved makeup:
After posting the Coty Airspun, I got a few inquiries and reactions. Just like how you want a product you're trying to sell get noticed, I included a bit of information about the product even though I know it is quite popular to makeup junkies.

I first priced it as php550, but I realized it's 2nd hand so I guess it should be much cheaper, although in BeautyMNL, this is priced at php750, since I only bought it for php580, might as well sell it cheaper. I posted it like this:

Few hours later I got a message she requested that I reserve the powder for her until Saturday.

She then went to my family's vape store in Cabuyao, Laguna for the powder, and it was so hassle-free, she paid for it, a little chitchat, and we're done.

She was super nice, too!

And so I thought this was such a lovely experience and I decided to do a de-stash of my makeup that I only swatched or used once, just like the other girls in the group.

I think it's also a chance to meet other girls who are makeup junkies just like me.

You can also join the group, just wait for the admins to approve it. 

They have over 40,000 members! (it's quite impressive)

The admins really do a great job in maintaining this massive online community.
