What products do you use?

Before going to bed last night, I've been thinking what to write here on my blog. Then all of sudden I had this urge to share to you readers to share products that I have been using regularly. Here it is.. 

For Hair

I use Loreal's Total Repair 5 Shampoo and Conditioner. Before, my hair was damaged due to frequent hair coloring. It was very dry and often times would fall off. Then a friend recommended to use Loreal's Total Repair 5 Shampoo and Conditioner. I've seen the ads and It got me curious. They say It's a good shampoo for those who regularly have their hair colored. I've been using it for 4 months now and my hair is not dry anymore. It became smooth and silky; and my hair color became more prominent.

After washing my hair, I let it dry for a bit then I apply a small amount of Vitress Hair Cuticle Coat for damaged hair. I only use Vitress on my hair to give it a glossy shine. Only apply a small amount in your hair, you don't want it to be greasy.

For Face

I use Garnier Light Gentle Clarifying Foam in cleansing my face. Before, I used to have pimples even though I've been using a well-known brand who promises to have a pimple fighting effect. When I switched to Garnier, and I must say it does wonders! The zits started to lessen and disappear; and my skin became more clear and radiant. The price is affordable too. Only 7 pesos per sachet. I've been using it for 5 months now.

Another product of Garnier that I've been using is Garnier Light Complete Multi-action Whitening Cream. I use this instead of foundations and concealers. After cleansing my face with Garnier Light Gentle Clarifying Foam, I dab a small amount of Garnier Light Complete Multi-action Whitening Cream all over my face and neck. Then I finished it off with a loose powder and lip&cheek tint. What I love about this product is it lightens my pimple marks and it gives me a matte finished look. My only problem is, after a few hours my skin becomes oily so I have to re-apply a small amount of loose powder or use an oil film. But nonetheless, my skin feels great when using this product.

Whenever I have breakouts, I use Eskinol Classic Whitening Facial Cleanser and I incorporate 2 Clindamycin Capsules in it. Clindamycin is known to be an oral or a topical treatment for acne. It helps dries pimple and prevent further breakouts. But before using it, make sure to consult your doctor first.

At night before going to bed, I wash my face with Garnier Light Gentle Clarifying Foam and apply a small amount of Myra E Facial Moisturizer. It has Vitamin E which is an anti-oxidant. It moisturizes the skin than can give a 'blooming' and 'glowing' effect. I also take a Myra E 400 capsule before going to bed.






For Body

Perla is a laundry soap but some people have used them as a bath soap. I am one of them. I have been using it for almost a year now. They said that it can whiten the skin. It got me curious so I tried it. My skin is already fair so I wouldn't really see much difference. What I like about this soap is the feeling after taking a bath. You could feel that your skin is really clean but the only problem is it can make your skin dry.


 


 So after washing my body, I use Olay Natural White Soap or Belo Essentials Soap to prevent dryness. Yup, I bathe twice in every bath :) a bit of a hassle right? But its worth it. Not only that it has a whitening effect, It moisturizes your skin and makes your skin much softer and radiant.

 For the lotion, I just recently started using the Nivea Extra Whitening Inner Cell Repair Body Milk Lotion. I will keep you posted on that.

I hoped you enjoyed reading my post and it'd help you in deciding what to use. Message me for feedback. Thanks! :)

Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes has always been my comfort food but the only time I got a chance to eat them is whenever I'm eating at KFC. So, just out of the blue I wanted to make my own mashed potatoes. :)

MASHED POTATOES

For the mashed potatoes

• 350 grams potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• salt and pepper to taste

For the gravy

• 2 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoon flour
• 2 cups beef or chicken stock, warmed
• salt and pepper

For the mashed potatoes

1. Placed potatoes in medium saucepan and cover with water. Cover the lid and bring to a boil. Reduced to a simmer and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
2. Combine milk and butter. Heat in the microwave until warmed.
3. Drain potatoes and return to the saucepan. Mash potatoes and the milk mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Let it cool, then refrigerate until ready to use.

For the gravy

1. Melt butter in pan. Add flour; combine. Cook for about 2 minutes.
2. Slowly pour in warm beef or chicken stock. 

 (Note: I used Knorr cubes for the stock. I boiled 6 cups of water for 1 knorr cube. So if you're going to use all the stock, you've got to triple the flour and butter. You can use chicken or beef.)

     3. Season it with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Message me for feedbacks. Thanks. :)
