Clear skin is one of the indicators of health and beauty. Being a beauty-concious woman, I've been obsessing over maintaining my clear skin and improving its appearance through makeup.
Unfortunately, I recently caught chickenpox from my sister which caused scars all over my face and body. It's a nightmare come true, I know. But instead of feeling bad for myself, I'd rather take action in fixing my scars and concealing it. I work a job where I have to face hundreds of people daily so looking presentable is a must!
It's actually payday today which means I can allocate part of my income for a little haul. I headed straight to SM's Department Store to get all that I need. I got 7 items that I really need and want.
1. BIO-OIL/ 60ml- PHP 495 / SM Department Store
Bio-oil is a specialist skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, ageing skin, and dehydrated skin.
I recently read good reviews on this product so I decided to try it myself. It sounds like the perfect product for me since I'm trying to remove scars and at the same time, avoiding stretch marks. I'm currently preggo at 17 weeks as of today with my first child. As much as possible, I still want my tummy to look firm with minimal stretch marks.
2. FASHION21 SPF50+ LOOSE POWDER/ PHP 185/ SM DEPARTMENT STORE
Before I got this, I only used pressed powder in setting my makeup which sometimes end up cakey if I don't apply it well. Now that I'm out of pressed powder, I finally got myself a jar of loose powder that would set my makeup well without caking too much.
3. ETUDE HOUSE PRECIOUS MINERAL BB CREAM/ P 748/ Etude House
I've been using Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream since high school. I try different brands but this product is the best one for my skin. If ever I run low, I would run to the nearest store to restock.
4. NICHIDO #233 EYE SHADER BRUSH/ PHP 150/ SM DEPARTMENT STORE
What's a wide makeup palette without good tools. Looking back last year, I had a complete set of brushes but I misplaced them one by one. It's about time I move on with a good brush and take care of it this time.
5. Pinkies Collections Shine Loose Powder/ PHP 299/ SM Department Store
I have a thing for highlighters. In every store that I go, I barely find a good highlighter (other than Sleek and MAC.) I was just browsing the shelves then I found this. It's actually as good as highlighter but it's a loose type of makeup. I'm still in love with it though and I can't wait to use it and achieve the glass-skin type of makeup.
6. L.A. GIRL PRO CONCEAL GREEN CORRECTOR/ PHP 315/ SM DEPARTMENT STORE
I was supposed to get the orange concealer for my scars that I went to three Watson's branches in the city but it was out of the stock and one saleslady told me that they ran out of stock in the warehouse as well. So I ended up getting the green one. Although it was a hard decision for me, I tried covering a scar with the green corrector and it works as well. So no biggie.
7. EVER BILENA BLEND ME SPONGE/ PHP 135/ SM DEPARTMENT STORE
I needed a tool to perfectly cover up my small scars all over the face. So I got a blender as well.
Although I already got what I wanted, I still have a hunch that I need more skincare products. My inner shoppaholic is tempting me but my good thrifty side is behaving. It's good that I still have control over buying things that I only need.
