Ever Bilena ADVANCE lip & cheek stain review!

Hi there! Today im going to share with you my new favorite product. This is actually a dual purpose product from a local Philippine brand Ever Bilena. It is the EB Advancr lip & cheek stain! If you are looking for more natural look then this could be for you!

This is how thw product looks like


It has gel like texture and it isnt sticky at all. It is very easy to blend on your skin. Ive use other lip & cheek stain products before but it easily got dry on your cheek that makes it hard to blend. I ended up with red blotches on the face. But this one from Ever Bilena just gave me a perfect finished that i want! 

I love how natural it looks plus it last all day! Even after i re-touch with a  powder on top of it the more it shows. This is my holy grail. This makes me glow! Only con is as a lip stain it  doesnt stay on your lips that long. Like not even 30 mins. I love how it made my lips red naturally but  re applying it  a lot of times is not cool at all. Also I noticed that it tends to make my lips dry. So i only use this as a cheek stain and not on my lips anymore.  

Over all, i love this product especially like me who's alway on the rush and doesnt have much time to choose which blush to use. I think this is great for everyday look!

Kojie San (kojic soap) review and experience

Hi there! This is my first blog and i assure you there'll be more! Choosing which product should i feature first is quiet difficult to me. But then i decided ill do the kojie san soap since i did have a pretty good experience with it.
I'm sure almost a lot of you already know about kojic soap as well as Kojie San as it is available in all supermarkets in the Philippines. Kojic soap isn't new to me as well. I have used a range of kojic soaps including papaya and carrot kojic soaps, also other famous brands. All of them dried my skin really bad. Like when i smile i feel like my face is going to crack! I know kojic soaps really have a tendency of drying your face but i just cant take the dryness and i don't think its still good for my skin so i decided to stopped. Some even  gave me break outs. Though some people say its just an initial reaction and with continuous use your face will be better. But the thought of breaking out just freaks me out. I already have problematic skin and i don't want to add more. For more than 2 years i stopped using kojic soaps. It just happen that i bumped this review on Youtube regarding Kojie San and its indeed a good review. So i started to search on this brand and it has pretty much good reviews. Since i noticed my skin needs exfoliating and brightening, i decided to give kojic another try!

I got one box with 3 pcs. of soap for only 72.50 pesos. These are the smaller size. Its actually cheaper than the other kojic soaps in the market but it works wonders!
What surprised me is despite of being a kojic soap which is drying, it gives me a dewy finished after. It didn't dried my skin like others did and a big plus is it didn't gave me break outs. When i have pimples due to other products i use, i directly apply the soap to the pimple and it dries out. It also brightens my face in an instant! I say brightens instead of whitens because i already got natural fair skin to start with but sometimes i feel my skin is dull And would look dark. This gives it a glow.

These are my before and after pics. I'm just using my phone so it isn't that clear but i can attest to myself that i did have changes. My face brightens and some of my pimple scars also lightens.

Over all what Kojie san provides me are:
Skin brightening
It leaves my face dewy and smooth
Helps with my pimple scars
it doesn't break me out
Does not dry my skin

I dont see any negative effects yet for about a month of using it now so i think i found the right soap for me!
