Product Junkie
This is my (extremely delayed) answer to Lia’s Banyo and Tatin’s Banyo Revelations.
I must warn you, though, that my entry will be significantly longer since I’m such a product junkie. <hee hee>
* Feel free to click on the underlined hyperlinks to view the product that I’m talking about
In My Shower
Shampoo: Garnier Fructis - It smells dee-lish and keeps my hair squeaky clean.
Conditioner: The one that comes with my Feria hair dye. It’s the best conditioner!
Soap: Safeguard White - Sent to me from Manila. It’s a psychological thing- I somehow feel that its the only soap that actually cleans me.
Phased Out Favorites: Breathe Serenity bubblebath, shower cream, and in-shower moisturizer.
By My Sink
Toothpaste: Crest Whitening Expressions Cinnamon Rush
Mouthwash: Astring-O-Sol Fresh Mint - Yes, also sent to me from Manila.
Dental Floss: Reach Clean Paste - My mouth feels so clean after I use this.
Facial Wash: Celeteque or Neutrogena Deep Clean - I have to alternate the two cause Celeteque can’t be bought here so I have to stretch my hoard until someone sends some over to me or until I go home. I use Deep Clean when I feel oily & grimy and Celeteque when I feel dry.
Make-up Remover: Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil - It’s always nice to have products that work and come in pretty packaging too.
Toner: Shu Uemura Depsea Nanowater - I like how it doesn’t have a "toner smell".
Sunblock: Armada - Another product that I can’t buy in this blasted country.
In My Kikay Kit:
Concealer: Shu Uemura Spot Concealer - It matches my skin tone perfectly!
Mascara: Maybelline Sky High Curves
Eyeliner: Physician’s Formula Felt Tip Eye Marker - This is the best liquid eyeliner! Its the only thing that can withstand my oily eyelids.
Lipgloss: DuWop Lip Venom - Unlike most glosses, this one is spicy rather than minty. Yum! or C.O. Bigelow Ultra Mentha Lip Shine - It’s a lip gloss and breath mint in one! It’s made of all natural ingredients so you can lick your lips and the natural peppermint extract freshens your breath like candy. How wonderful is that? or Carmex - A Classic!
Lipstick: Avon Raisin - On others it looks brown, but on me its a nice burgundy.
Mattifyers: Boscia Oil Blotting Sheets , Zui Purism Oil Clear Base and Ponds Beauty Powder - I love how you can find this product anywhere back home. i’ve bought it at gas stations, sari-sari stores, and mini-marts!
Phased Out Favorites: Foundation - Maybelline Pure Stay Liquid Foundation, Eyeshadow/liner - VMV cake-liner
Scents
Johnson’s Baby Cologne Regular - I go through this stuff like water! When I still lived in Manila I’d consume at least 1 bottle a month. I’m a bit more prudent with my stash now since its not as easy to get in this country.
Comptoir Sud Pacifique with Yodel-Ay He Lotion - yum, yum, yum!
Phased Out Favorites: B&BW Freesia, Breathe Serenity
I’ve actually got tons of other products lying around, but the ones listed above are my regulars
