[Review] Kiehl's Actively Correcting and Beautifying BB Cream

Kiehl's has always been a hit among beauty bloggers. I have read nothing but positive reviews about this brand. Finally, it's my turn to rave! I grabbed the chance to have my previous BB Cream swapped for Kiehl's. Truth be told, I doubted whether it would be worth it to exchange my PhP700+ BB Cream for a 5mL sample. But now, it turned out to be better by a mile! I never regret it! 
The 5mL BB Cream sample from Kiehl's.
I used the Actively Correcting and Beautifying BB Cream for nine straight days now. I'm pretty sure I will continue using it until the sample is used up. It's that good! I didn't expect much from this product because BB creams only conceal, right? So I didn't take any before photos of myself.

 The product's appearance is a opaque light brown liquid. I had the one in Light shade so maybe it will differ with Fair and Natural colors. The consistency is fluid enough and I didn't have a hard time spreading it on my skin. My experience: it blended with my skin perfectly! Here are some swatches:

What I like most is the fact that the product doesn't feel heavy on my face at all. Unlike most BB Creams in the market, this one didn't have the pearly-dewy sheen effect. It only gave me a smooth powdery finish. I like it that way, actually. 
Let me say that again... BB creams only conceal, right? Not with this Kiehl's BB Cream! The results were visible after only five days of my continuous usage. True to its name, it really does correct skin discoloration. It cleared up my blemishes, too! And most all, it firmed up my skin! I can skip my anti-aging serum on this one! 

 As for some disadvantages, this BB cream smells like wax or crayons. It is very prominent when you open the bottle. The odor is a turn off, actually. That was one of the reasons why I didn't believe in this product at first. But don't worry, the smell goes away after application. Other than that, I have oily skin but the product didn't give me sebum control. 

 However, the positive results outweigh the negative ones by far! Ah well, even if I didn't have a before photo, I do have an after photo to share with you. I have noticed that my skin clarified and blemishes disappeared. This one was taken after nine days of regular application of Kiehl's BB cream:

The full 30mL bottle of this product costs PhP1,995. It's expensive, I know. But I like this product so much that I will save up for this! Besides, the 5mL sample is still far from being empty! LOL!

 Kiehl's Actively Correcting and Beautifying BB Cream is effective! It did well beyond my expectations. This BB cream is the one for me! I will try my best to get used to the waxy odor but I hope that Kiehl's can improve on it. The product works and I have become a fan! Now I know why Kiehl's is a hit among beauty bloggers. It's because their products deliver!

A Full Moon: My Second Fanfiction is Here!

Heya Dearies!  Following my first fanfiction The Path of The Unspecialized (The King's Avatar Fanfic) , which was posted in Webnovel, m y next story is now ready to be published! I'm very excited to share this with you. One of the video games that I have played for a very long time is The Sims. Started around 19 years ago, thereabouts. Until now, I don't get tired of creating Sims and building houses. Though yes, there have been times where I was disappointed at how buggy the game is... but yeah, it hasn't stopped me from playing the game. Hahaha~ The Sims is a life simulation and oftentimes, I create stories for my sims. What would they look like? How would they start out? Where would they live? With The Sims 4: Vampires game pack came Caleb Vatore, who became my favorite pre-made sim. I would pair him up with a sim of my own.  And in the process of playing, I eventually got inspired to write down how their story would go in my version of The Sims 4 world. So p r

[Review] Gluta-C Intense Whitening Body Scrub

Gluta-C Intense Whitening Body Scrub is a product that impressed me on my first try. Mostly, when I review beauty products, I use it at least a week to see the effects and results on my skin. I never thought that a body scrub can make me go "wow!" instantly! I got this from my Gluta-C Sample Room haul . And I used it the day after I got it. I was that excited!  This product is packaged in a tub. It is a soft, viscous, and grainy cream. The smell is nice, too! It has a cool perfume scent.  120g tub of Gluta-C Body Scrub This is how I used this: I wet my skin and then took an ample amount of the scrub and then applied it using circular motions. Afterwards, I put liquid body wash on a loofah then rubbed on my skin. I could feel the small grains from the scrub gently exfoliating my skin. I love the combination it does with the body wash. The bubbles and the foam make it comfortable! All the while, I know that my skin is thoroughly cleansed!  Here is the surprise!

Rain and HyunA

After four months, the Rain Effect still leaves a mark in me. It is a great album and if I have all the time in the world, I would feature each track in a full write up. For this sixth volume, Rain had a song which featured the K-Pop artist HyunA. It is entitled "Where are you going, Oppa?" and it has a nice Arabian-like beat infused with bass and hip hop, it hints of sexiness too.  For today, I will write about this song that was successful in bringing out a reaction in me. Let’s listen… Fan video by Miyu MaGirlYura So now you understand why it brought a reaction in me? Hehehe ~ It means that the artist is successful in bringing out the emotion through a song. One thing is for sure, Rain chose the perfect girl to sing with him. Both are top caliber artists in their own field. And because of him, I now like HyunA and I researched about her. Kum Hyuna (HyunA) I already know the entertainer named HyunA. I can't remember how, though. I just know her as the n
