SkinWhite and Nuffnang bring you Snow White and the Huntsman

Skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony - Snow White is one of the first beauty icons of our time. Achieving her beautiful blush white skin that Prince Charming can't resist is now easier more than ever, because we have SkinWhite!

How does SkinWhite work? It has Synchrowhite Action that works simultaneously in 4 ways to give you that rosy white glow, as it does the following:
(1) WHITENS the skin’s surface

(2) REDUCES formation of new dark pigments at its source

(3) NOURISHES skin with Vitamins

(4) PROTECTS skin against toxins and UV rays

I think Kim Chiu is the perfect endorser for Skin White. She always has that beautiful glow!

And if you want to see how SkinWhite works, watch this best kilig BFF story. It reminds me of my high school days!

SkinWhite has a complete range of whitening products for the face and body. Know more about the SkinWhite products here.

Market O Real Brownie from Korea

My cousin came back from a trip from Korea (lucky her!) and got us a couple of Korean snacks as pasalubong. One of them that particularly caught my eye was this. If you're wondering why, that's because (1) it's pink and (2) it's chocolate-y! It's practically Helen in a box! Haha!

And as if the box wasn't cute enough, look at what's inside! Cuteness overload!

Each box has 7 brownies inside. (My sister took the other one.) The wrapper is so cute and girly, it almost hurts to tear the packaging open.

While the packaging was all cute and pink, the brownie inside looked plain. But plain doesn't have to mean boring. The brownie is made of pure chocolate goodness, and each piece is dense but moist. It also has chocolate chips inside, and a tiny hint of liquor (reminds me of tiramisu and black forest cakes).

Korea has the daintiest stuff! When I get there, I'll make sure to hoard cute food (like this) and makeup, of course! :)

Love,

Helen

Belo Essentials SunExpert Face Cover SPF40

Ever tried samples that were so good, they convinced you to buy the full-sized version of the product? For me, Belo Essentials SunExpert Face Cover SPF40 is one of the unexpectedly good products that I have recently tried. I got this mini tube from a magazine a few months ago. Since I am wary about trying out new products, I initially just planned to use this for my body. My curiosity finally led me to use this all over my face. Since I'm not getting any younger, I have to take care of my skin more than ever by using sunblock to prevent premature skin aging.

Belo Essentials SunExpert Face Cover SPF40

This product has SPF 40 PA+++, which is perfect for everyday use. (I like sunscreens with SPF of this range, since I find those with SPF 100+ exaggerated plus with a lot more chemicals than what we really need, but that's just my personal preference.) It is non-sticky, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, dermatologist tested, and fragrance-free, which is almost everything I look for in a face care product. I am not fond of face creams with strong fragrances since they almost always make me sneeze, but this one is literally free from any scent.

Upon application, the product is easily absorbed, and it feels very light on my skin. The texture of this sunblock is not a heavy cream, but more like a gel-cream since it's very light. I use this in the morning after I wash my face, and it serves as my moisturizer/sunblock/makeup base. It dries clear and leaves no white cast unlike other sunblocks. It also works very well with my BB Cream. I got zero breakouts or allergies from this product, which was a relief since my skin is pretty sensitive and oily. And if you're curious on whether this left my skin oilier than usual? No it didn't! (Which is why I'm liking it so much.)

My mini tube is about to get used up after almost 3 weeks of regular use, and I'm repurchasing this for sure. Belo Essentials SunExpert Face Cover SPF40 is available in leading department stores and drugstores for only P299.75 (50ml).

Love,
