Delightful Illusions


          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

          Hi! I'm Sylden and welcome to my blog. :) For today's post, I will talking about Project Pan Roulette and what are the products I have included on this challenge. Project Pan Roulette is basically a challenge where you pick products of certain categories, use those items, giving your self a time frame, but done in a roulette style. I have never seen a vlogger/blogger who had used an actual roulette (Haha!)  to pick their products; I have seen some people write the product categories on papers, roll them and pick as many as they want. Usually, people will switch products every 2 months, when a season ends, or when a certain date comes (i.e. 4th of July). In my own interpretation, I think that this project aims mainly to use products in a switching manner on a year, or for a period of time.

          If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know that I currently have 3 projects going on. I have only been focusing on the products that are included on my projects, thus, ignoring my other makeup items. I see this Project Pan Roulette as an opportunity to use my other products, while I have things that I need to use up. I would like to give my products some attentions, even if I'm focusing on certain things. I decided to give this project a try; I made up my mind to switch products every month. :) Anyways, I did the rolled paper thing to pick my 10  products, and I would like to give a shout out to Megan for the Project Pan Roulette Category Ideas. The following are the categories I got to pick for the month of April:

A product you regret buying:


          Monomola Wow Long Lasting Lip Color (Cherry Red). I regret buying this because I don't like that this like an actual tattoo. I have to wait 10 minutes for to peel off the product on my lips. The color swatch on pictures is actually misleading; the online seller posted pictures with vivid swatches. The seller didn't tell me right away that I need to peel off this thing on my lips. This a Korean product and the box that it came with did't had any English words. The product itself isn't long lasting at all. I have eaten once and the stain had visible marks of fading. I have ignored this product ever since, but I need to use this again so I won't waste the money I paid for this. 

Your most recent purchase:


          Quick FX CC Cream. I bought this last March 29, together with a BB Cream and a blush/bronzer duo. I chose this one because I'm currently using this as my base for my face. I'm still forming my thoughts about this. Anyways, I'll just keep using this product so I could give you my opinion about it towards the end of the month.

Your oldest blush:

          REVLON A Floral Affair Collection Blush (Pinking of You). I have this blush for 6 years! Can you imagine that?! I bought this on November 2009 and this is the first blush on my collection. This product contain 3 shades of pink, but if you mix the 3 together, you'l get a barbie pink shade. This has a matte finish, which I really appreciate now. I just don't why I didn't even hit pan on this. Haha! The smell stayed the same over the years. Yay! I know I'll get use a lot of this blush this April. It's perfect for Summer!

A long-time favorite:


          San San Waterproof Mascara (Thick Lash). I have already talked so much about this product already. I have gone through 3 bottles of this mascara already. I kept on coming back for this products because it gives my lashes a nice amount of drama, not the overwhelming, shocking kind of drama. I love this for everyday use because it stays all day long and is definitely waterproof. 

Your favorite body lotion:


          Vaseline Body Lotions. I love the lotions from Vaseline! I have used some of them and I loved all of them. They're formulas are non-greasy, even the thick ones. They don't leave a sticky feeling on my skin which I really love. This brand is my favorite for body lotion. Anyways, I think I'll use up this product in a week, or 2 weeks. I'll see.

A metallic product:


          Essence Crystal Eyeliner (Rosy Rush). This is the closest one I have to a metallic product. I love how the glitters are so fine; they feel like flexes and not chunks of products. This has pink glitters with gold flexes which looks pretty on the eyes. I like using this on top of my eye shadows because it isn't overwhelming. I'll try to incorporate this with the looks I wear from day to day. 

A product in pencil form:


          L.A. COLORS Eyeliner/Eyebrow Pencil (Black). Just an ordinary eyeliner pencil. It's not pigmented, it smears, and doesn't last long on my waterline. I picked this one because I'll try to get a good use out of it so I could prepare this for my Project Pan next year. 

A product a carry on your purse: 


          Maybelline Clear Smooth All In One Shine Free Cake Powder (Nude Beige). I've been using this since last year, but I still can't finish it yet. This product is also included in my Products I Want To Use Up In 2016, which is one of my projects for this year. I think that is product is nice for touch-ups. It's not oil-controlling at all and doesn't lasts all day, as opposed to what it claims. I still like this powder though; it applies smoothly and has SPF 25 (so great for the Summer!)

A product you won't repurchase:


          Careline Oil Control Liquid Make-Up (Oriental). This is the worst makeup product I have tried in my entire life! I have done a First Impressions Review for this product; and I still have the same impression for the last 2 months. It doesn't absorb oil at all and feels really sticky on my skin. I think even people with dry and normal skin wouldn't like the feel of this on the skin. This sucks!

A cruelty free product:

          Human Nature Purifying Face Scrub. I'm sorry if I don't have a picture of this product. I forgot to bring it while I was shooting. Haha! I've talked about this product on my March 2016 Favorites, read the post so would know what this product is all about. :)

          Those are the products I picked up for this month's Project Pan Roulette. I'll give an update towards the end of the month. I will also do a roulette again for May and so on. Are you doing this project too? Let me know your experiences and thoughts regarding this project by leaving a comment. I love talking to my readers and visitors. I will talk to you tomorrow. Thank you so much for reading. Have a nice day. Stay safe. XOXO
