Something New: Cure Natural Aqua Gel - Grab a FREE Sample!

Japan's No. 1 exfoliator, where 1 bottle is sold every 12 seconds in Japan, is now in the Philippines! I'm used to facial scrubs as exfoliators, so Cure Natural Aqua Gel is something new for me. 90% of its ingredients is hydrogen water, and it's free from preservatives, artificial fragrances, mineral oil, and coloring - making it the most gentle skin exfoliator.


Each 250ml bottle costs P1,500.00, and will last for 4 months when used twice a week. If you want to try before you buy, do drop by Beauty Bar and ask for a free sample first! Samples are available until supplies last.


I'm excited to try this one out! I'll be posting a review soon. For the meantime, you may Like CUREphil: Official CURE Natural Aqua Gel Philippines on Facebook for more information.

Justice Opens at Shangri-La Mall

Kids, tweens, teens, and even the young at heart (that would be me!) will love Justice - a clothing brand created especially for girls! Justice has this as a main goal: to boost girls' self confidence (and I think they're doing an extraordinary job with that). I'll take you on a visual tour inside the store with this blog post!

Justice at Shangri-La Mall


You'll see that this store has all things bright, colorful, sparkly, and nice! I bet your little sisters or nieces would LOVE to see this for themselves.
 

They have lots of cute and comfy graphic tees in every color with fun prints to boot!


I especially love this Meow-stache! shirt!



Justice has the cutest clothes. I wish there was something like this when I was in my tweens. Kids are so fashionable these days! One secret I have to reveal is that adults CAN also fit into the bigger sizes of Justice's apparel, especially their comfy jeans!


They also have basic tanks with a twist - it's full of sequins! So sparkly!


They also have so much accessories. Check out these bags - their perfect for school this coming June.
 

Justice will soon be coming with bags that you can customize: You can even put your name's initials to make it even more personal and unique.


I'm loving this super girly accessories holder. Turn it around to reveal a mirror!
 

They also have paddle brushes with initials on it. I didn't spot an "H" on my visit, but if I did I would have grabbed it right then and there. The colorful pops of pink and rainbow on their products somehow reminds me of the Lisa Frank stickers that were so trendy when I was a kid!


I am also tempted to get this eyeglass case with a dog print. I don't really wear glasses, but my shades could use a new and sturdy home.


They also have necklaces with the cutest pendants/charms!


For kikay tweens who aren't really allowed to wear nail polish just yet, Justice has these super adorable stick-on nails.


They also have hair ties, clips, pins, and even a hair tattoo!


They also have cute stuffed toys that make for the cutest gifts - just like this small Peanut Butter & Jelly stuffed toy. You can keep them attached or detach one and give it to your sister or BFF.


Even the bedroom slippers come in the fluffiest designs!


I'm liking the eye mask - it's the prettiest one I've seen. The fabric is soft, too.


Justice also sells underwear in plains and prints. The designs are really fun and I assure you, you'll have a hard time choosing which one to get since they're all cute. These aren't just for kids since some sizes would actually also fit adults!
 

Check out these cute tote bags. Now there's no excuse for us to not bring a bag like this to put our things in when we go shopping. I like the one with the popsicle design the most.\


They also have colorful and sturdy flipflops that you can wear at home and, of course, at the beach.


They also have fun and never intimidating monster-inspired bags. Crochet berets in the brightest shades also come in handy for when we want to add some flair to our look.


This rainbow monster bag is so cute. I want it but I'd look silly carrying this around. :3


Last but certainly not the least are their shoes. I'm loving the sandals as they're so perfect for summer.




They also have high-cut and high-heeled sneakers, metallic loafers, and espadrilles.


Justice opened their first store in the Philippines last April 16, 2013, located at the 4th floor of the East Wing of Shangri-La Mall. Visit http://www.shopjustice.com for more details. Happy shopping!

Love,
Helen

Etude House Sweet Recipe Ice Cream Nails in Twinkling Strawberry Candy

It's been ages since I last had my nails done. I suck at DIY manicures, but since I was bored, I figured it was high time I started to practice painting my nails. What inspired me to do so was this super cute nail Ice Cream Nails from Etude House's Sweet Recipe collection. I've always said that I loved red nail polish (and I still do), but I really can't resist this milky pink, glittery nail polish. And, it looks like ice cream! So cute! :D

Etude House Sweet Recipe Ice Cream Nails (P178.00)
Glitter & stone infused pastel nail colors in yummy ice cream cone designs

Shades:

  • Scoop of Mint Chocolate Chip
  • Zingy Lemon Sherbet
  • Sweet & Sour Apricot Candy
  • Twinkling Strawberry Candy

Swatches:



A single coat won't do since it would look pale. You'd need 2-3 coats for the color to show. Here, I used 2 coats of the Twinkling Strawberry Polish plus a clear top coat to protect the color and make it look glossier. I absolutely love the milky baby pink shade, with pink, sky blue, and purple glitters.

Pros:
  • The packaging. Need I say more?
  • It comes in 4 glittery pastel shades.
  • It has a flat brush which makes application easier.
  • It dries quite quickly.
  • It has nice color payoff - what you see in the bottle is what you get.

Cons:
  • The star-shaped glitters won't come out of the bottle. (I so want stars on my nails!)
  • Glitters are hard to remove, even with nail polish remover.

Etude House Sweet Recipe Cotton Candy Ball (P128.00)
Colorful cotton candy balls for nail color removal and cleansing

This one's the perfect partner for your Sweet Recipe Ice Cream Nails! Even cotton balls look yummy now. Each ball is made of 100% cotton with cotton candy colors, and is stretchable. Each ball (when stretched) is enough to remove nail polish from 10 fingernails.

Which shade of the Etude House Sweet Recipe Ice Cream Nails do you like most? Even though I'm liking Twinkling Strawberry Candy, I think I'd also love the Sweet & Sour Apricot Candy (a pretty nude shade with colorful glitters in it). Learn more about the Sweet Recipe collection here.

Helen
