Review: Kustie Papaya Facia Scrub Jam

I'm into beauty products which contains papaya seeds or anything from papaya because I really do believe that it helps whiten and smooth your skin (that's why I love my kojie san). I recently bought this papaya facial scrub. This is included in my latest huge collective haul, the Kustie papaya facial scrub jam. It says 100% natural exfoliants.

Kustie papaya facial scrub jam contains papaya and apricot seeds to whiten and smooth skins.

Action: Papaya seed essence contains papaya enzyme active ingredients to dissolve aging and dead skin whilst restrain development of melanin, plus almond shell granules gently remove dry skin and cells in no time. Leaves you white and smooth skin.

I immediately used it the night when I came home after I bought it. This small tube costs Php 59.00 so I thought maybe it's a good product since it's a little pricey for its size.

This is how it looks like:

This is how it looks like when rubbed:

When rubbed on skin, bubbles are formed.

 After washing my face, my skin feels so smooth. I fell in love with it right after using it. Actually, while rinsing it out, you can already feel the smoothness of your face.

I didn't feel that dryness after washing my face. Some facial products that I've tried usually have that dry feeling after washing. This product doesn't have that. I love it. It smells nice, too, unlike other papaya facial scrubs and soaps that have pungent smell.

I will totally buy this again. I bought this from SM North Edsa department store beauty section. I guess they also have this in Watsons. They have this in big sizes too but I didn't check out the price. Next time I will buy the larger one. I really love this. It's my new favorite skin care. I will regularly use this because I think it will really help clean out the makeup from my face and completely remove the sebum since it is a scrub.

I totally recommend this product for all skin types. The packaging states too that this is for all skin types. Definitely a good one!

That's it! Thanks for reading!

Stay awesome my dear dudettes! :)

My Skin Care Routine

Hey my dear dudettes! I just want to share my skin care routine and my top 10 favorite beauty skin products. Thanks to Ms. Janina of Nin Monster in Manila for tagging me! It is actually an award, the top 10 award to be exact. :)

So, let me start by showing you my top 10 products:

1. KOJIE SAN KOJIC ACID SKIN LIGHTENING SOAP - This is by far my favorite beauty soap. I used to ignore this product because before, my sister said there is a peeling effect from this soap. I thought it’s going to look bad on me but then I decided to try it because my cousins are using it and their skins really lightened. After some times of using this soap, voila! I can already see some results and I’ve been receiving a lot of compliments about my skin since I started using this. The box from this picture costs 102 PhP for TWO soaps. This one is the large size and they also have it in small ones for only 50 PhP, also for two soaps! It’s cheap and it’s awesome!

2. POND’S WHITE BEAUTY PORE CONDITIONING TONER - This one does wonders for my skin, too. It really tones my skin and even helped lighten my blemishes and my skin. Back in 2008, I got sunburned from playing volleyball and boy did my skin really darken! With the help of this toner, my skin got back to it’s normal tone. :) Unfortunately, I ran out of it that’s why it’s not included in the photo above.

3. GARNIER LIGHT WHITEN AND PROTECT MOISTURIZING CREAM - I love this product and I think a lot of you love this, too! This is actually my everyday moisturizer now. I started using this the same time I started using the kojie san soap. They are the perfect combination for my skin!

4. GARNIER LIGHT COMPLETE MULTI-ACTION WHITENING CREAM - I tried this product because I wanted to see what is its difference from the Garnier Light. It as a matte finish and it has an oil trapping formula. I love this product because I can use it as a base for my face powder. Sometimes I use it as my foundation because it has a very creamy yet matte texture to it. I just apply this on my face then set it with my powder. And yes, it lightens my skin as well. :)

5. GARNIER LIGHT MILKY LIGHTENING DEW - This is one of my favorites because it is very light and really smoothes my skin. This is the lightest toner that I know. It is also like a moisturizer already because of its finish.

6. GARNIER LIGHT BRIGHTENING EYE ROLL-ON - I’ve just started using this product and I love it already. I think a lot of you loves this product too so I need not say more about this one! ;)

7. CELETEQUE FACIAL MOISTURIZER WITH SPF 15 - I actually bought this product because I saw it at Watson’s with a buy 1 take 1 deal for 150 PhP. When I tried it, I fell in love with it because it really moisturizes my skin and it oxidizes on my skin. When I’m not using garnier, I am using this. I’ll definitely buy this even if it’s not buy 1 take 1. :D

8. APOLLO PETROLEUM JELLY - This product is a must in my beauty box/ beauty storage because it is very versatile. You can use this to almost anything regarding your skin. I use this as a moisturizer for my lips, I rub this on my feet and put socks on to soften the skin, I use it to remove waterproof eye makeups and etc. Haha! This is really helpful for me.

9. MYRA E LIP BALM VITAMOISTURE - I found out about this product through Ms. Maricarl Janah’s video. I tried it and fell in love with it (period)

10. MYRA E FACIAL MOISTURIZER - I’m the kind of person who doesn’t stick to just one moisturizer or other skin products. I like trying different products to see what’s really best for my skin. Myra E facial moisturizer is one of the facial moisturizers that I’ve tried and it’s included in my list because I just love it. I just do! :)

EVERYDAY SKIN ROUTINE:

- Wash face using Kojie San kojic acid.

- Tone with Garnier Light milky lightening dew or Pond’s pore conditioning toner.

- Apply moisturizer (Garnier Light Complete by day and Garnier Light/Celeteque facial moisturizer by night)

- Apply Garnier light brightening eye roll-on

- Moisturize lips by applying myra e lip balm by day and petroleum jelly by night

That’s it for my top 10 beauty products and for my skin care routine! :)

Cleaning out my Brushes!

We all know that cleaning our brushes every after use is a must but because of the laziness taking over my weak body, I wash my brushes every other 2 to 3 days! I know, eeky but, yeah that's how I do it. Haha! :D I've just finished cleaning my makeup brushes tonight. As you can see in the photos below, I have two methods of drying the brushes.

1. Taping the brushes upside down on a wall or any flat surfaces or edges. I learned this from a YouTube video. This way, the water will run down the top of the brush hairs avoiding the glue to loosen up.

2. Rolling the other side of a towel. This method is also great to dry your makeup brushes because it elevates the brushes allowing the water to run down the top of the brushes. Plus, the towel also absorbs the water excess from the new cleaned brushes.

So, how do I clean my brushes? I use the JOY Antibacterial Dishwashing liquid with Vitamin E. You know the one that is also a hand care? :) Yeah, I use that to clean my brushes because it has Vitamin E and it's antibacterial, too so it will basically kill the bacteria and the germs from my used makeup brushes. What I do is I mix the Joy with water because it's actually concentrated and then I put it into a bowl then soak my brushes. After that I brush the makeup brushes back and forth on the palm of my hand then rinse it thoroughly and then DRY them, of course! :)

So, that's it! I know we all have different ways of cleaning our makeup brushes but I just want to share mine.

Thank y'all for reading!

Stay awesome my dear dudettes! :)
