Delightful Illusions


          Hi, guys! Today, I will be talking about my May Favorites for the year of 2016. I don't have much products to talk about because I'm currently doing projects and I have been using the same makeup items since January. For this favorites post, I will be showing you the skin care and hair care products that I truly loved and used a lot on the month of May. If you are interested to know what are my recent beauty favorites, just keep on reading.

Nivea Extra White Repair Pore Minimiser Toner 200mL
          This toner is surprisingly gentle and doesn't have strong alcohol scent at all. You know how commercialized brands work, right? They will have all the claims they want on their products; when you buy them, they actually do not work at all. You don't get what you paid for. This toner is different. It's thin, has sweet scent, light on the skin, kind of moisturizing, and removes excessive dirt, makeup, and oil on the face. I have noticed that my skin went from being dull to pinkish-radiant glow. It also made my skin feels soft and looks smooth. I highly recommend this product if you are looking for an effective toner that's worth the price.

Human Nature 100% Natural Night Moisturizer
          I wasn't a fan of face moisturizers in general until I used this product. I have an oily skin and moisturizers aren't my friends. I was curious to try this product since I never used a night moisturizer before. Since this is an organic product, I decided to buy this and see what it will do to my skin. The first thing I noticed when applied this on, it has a medium consistency, leave a semi-sticky feeling on the skin, and smells like actual plants. This thoroughly absorbs into the skin and makes my skin feel so supple and soft when I wake up in the morning. The very best thing about this is that it fights zits and pimples. I had a zit one time and I applied a generous amount of this on the affected area. Do you what I saw when I woke up the following day? The zit has flatten a little bit and it wasn't painful anymore when I touched this. I continued using this night after night and my zit was gone. It was gone without transforming into a pimple. This product is a life saver! I'm note sure if this could cure pimples or acnes, but if you are interested in using this product, you should try. This is one of the best skin care products I have ever used.

Victoria's Secret Bergamot Smoothing Scrub Wash
          The best body scrub I have ever used! It smells so good. The smell is the main reason why I love this product. The smell lingers on the bathroom for hours and stays on the skin as well. It has that citrus scent that is calming yet addictive. The texture is gelee-like; thin, non-greasy and not sticky at all. I love that this has moiturizing property but isn't heavy on the skin. If you are looking for a light, good-smelling, and gentle body scrub, try this product. You'll love this.


Daily Defense Argan Oil Conditioner
          This conditioner is way better than the conditioners I have tried my whole life. It make my hair incredibly soft and smooth. It has light weight formula and doesn't leave a greasy residue on my scalp after washing my hair. It smells sweet, like a cupcake, and lasts long through out the day. It relaxes my hair making it controllable. I have been using this since last week of April but it has still a lot of product inside the bottle. If you are a cruelty-free shopper, get this because it's cruelty-free and affordable. If you find this, just try this and I'm pretty confident that you'll like this product too.


Revlon CustomEyes Naturally Glamorous Shadow/Liner
          This eyeshadow palette is included one of the projects I'm currently doing this year. This is one of those makeup items I have used and forgotten about for years and years. Recently, I have been experimenting on different eyeshadow combinations and I have found a nice way on how to use the liner shade on this palette. As you can see above, the liner isn't quite pigmented and won't work when worn alone. I tried using this shade as a shadow base and layer with a light brown eyeshadow. The result gives kind of a brown taupe shadow which is kind of my thing as I really love dark eyeshadow looks for everyday. I've worn this combination a lot on the month of May and I liked it. If you are interested on this palette, you can still get  this on the Revlon's website and Amazon. 



          These are my favorite products from the month of May. I genuinely love all the products I have mentioned and would be happy if you try them as well. I have linked all the products so you would know where to find them. 

          What are your favorites products recently? Please let us know so we could try them too. I hope you enjoyed this post. Comments are always welcomed, appreciated and replied. Thank you so much for stopping by. I'll talk to you soon. I hope you have a great day. Stay safe.

          Hey, guys! I have a skincare and hygiene products haul for you today. Nivea is a cult favorite in the Philippines. When people heard about the 50% discount going on, they have rushed to stores and hauled a lot of stuff. I have friends and office mates who have shared a picture their loot on Facebook and Instagram. Some of them have gone crazy and bought a 1-year supply of lotions, face products, deodorants and many more. Haha! Anyways, Nivea's sale started April 14 and will end on the 18th. I suggest have your haul now while supplies lasts. :)


          Last Friday, I went to two Robinsons Supermarket to get some personal stuff. The first grocery that I went to was near my office. I was busy browsing some stuff when I saw my office mates picking up some Nivea products. I remembered that a sale is going on, so I checked the products and see if find something interesting.  I picked up three Nivea things from that supermarket. 

Nivea Extra White Repair Pore Minimiser 50 g.
          I'm running out of a face scrub and I'll try to see how this works on my skin. It claims to remove impurities and makeup residues that cause dullness, acne and enlarged pore. My skin is not dull nor dry; my skin has enlarged pores. I'll give this product a shot and I may have a review to see how this works on my oily skin. This face scrub was reduced to Php 49.90.

Nivea Anti-Perspirant Extra Whitening Deodorant Spray 60 ml
          I have gone through bottles of this during my college days. I loved the product because my underarms stays dry and good smelling all throughout the day. I'm just glad that have now a smaller version, which is perfect for travelling. I also appreciate that the spray can now be locked. I hope they will have a sale again in the future because I'm planning to go back to this deodorant for good. I got this product for Php 54.50.

Nivea Extra White Repair Pore Minimiser Toner 200mL
          Can you see how big tall this product is?? This will last me for a year! I'm excited to try this toner, together with the face scrub I mentioned above. The products are both on the same skincare line, if you have noticed. I got this big boy for Php 92.50 only. Such a deal!

          My mama had a grocery on an another Robinsons Supermarket and I picked up again 3 Nivea products. Hey, I didn't go crazy. I only got 3 things. Haha!

Nivea Anti-Perspirant Extra Whitening Roll-On 50 mL
          This is the same line with the deodorant spray I have shown above. I have shown this deodorant on one of my empties post; I have gone through bottles and bottles of this, but the one in the smaller bottle. This actually more affordable than the ones in the tin cans. Regardless of where they are packaged and type of formulation, they still work the same. I got this on a discounted price of Php 49.50.

Nivea Body Lotion Extra Hydration 75 ml
          I bought this because of the "extra fast absorbing" claim they have on the description. I'm not a fan of body lotions in general because most of these products are thick and leaves a sticky feeling. This is perfect for travelling because it's small and won't take the whole space for my toiletries and skin care stuff. This was on sale for Php 29.90. Whoa!


Nivea Extra White Firming Body Serum SPF 33 75 ml
          They have a lot of "extra whitening' stuff, huh? I got this mainly because of the SPF 33 that they have on this product. I was intrigued on the texture of this product; I was wondering if this this has a thick, semi-watery consistency like most serums do. I'm planning to mix this with my lotions that don't SPF on them. This is now on sale for Php 57.50. 

          That's all I got from the sale. I didn't get a lot because most of these are new to me and I have tried them before yet. It's better that I'll try these first, see if it works for me, and get another one if I ran out. I don't stocking a lot of stuff because they might go bad before I even touch them. What are you waiting for!? Go now and grab their products. I think this a once in a year sale, like what they did last year. Anyways, my total payment for all of the products is Php 333.80 instead of Php 667.60. It's so amazing! Thank you Nivea for this wonderful sale. :)

          I hope you find this post helpful, especially with products' prices. If you have any Nivea products that you really love, please let me know so I could try them as well. Thank you so much for stopping by. I'll talk to you soon. Have a nice day. Stay safe. XOXO
