I felt the need to pamper myself last month since my life gets so stressful recently. I was able to get a coupon from Watsons Store that is, 50 pesos discount for every single purchase of Watsons product worth 500 pesos. So I bought some needed things for my beauty regimen. And some of the products I purchase became instantly my favorite!

Watsons Facial Masks - It is a firming and moisturizing facial mask with cucumber extract and collagen. I love the cooling and refreshing feeling I get when I applied it on my face. It instantly energized my skin! There’s no need to rinse after you have removed the masks so based on my experience, when I woke up the next day I felt my skin was perfectly moisturized and healthy looking. Plus it’s buy-two-take-one promo so it’s much cheaper! 

Sakura Bella Travel Pack - I actually want to buy just the bigger Sakura Bella Shower Gel but it is no longer available so I get this travel pack instead which includes body scrub and hand & body lotion. Aaaaahh! This has been my favorite since college but I stopped using to give way to some must-try products. Hahah! But of coarse I can’t resist it! I really love the smell. It so calming and relaxing just what I needed for my stressed nerves! (And oh, I’m just wondering if the real Sakuras smell like this too! Haha!)

GT Bleaching Soap - I’m a little “OC” when it comes to my skin complexion. So whenever I noticed some discoloration or uneven skin tone I immediately find ways to fixed it. I tried this bleaching herbal soap as a solution for uneven skin color especially in my arms and neck portion. It’s quite strong but the result is good in just two weeks. It also removes dead skin cells and you can obviously notice that skin becomes fairer.

Olay All in One Fairness Day Cream - I love the glow I get whenever I apply this cream. I sometimes use this as a substitute for BB Cream. It’s much lighter on skin and non-sticky. And it’s UV protection component is another important benefit.

Watsons Compact Puffs and Eyelash Curler - It’s hygienic to change the compact puffs of our pressed powders especially if it already looks soiled or dirty. We may never know that it maybe the cause of our acne or pimples. Yikes! And at this moment I needed this eyelash curlers to achieve perfect lashes. It comes with two free rubber pads and the purple handle looks so chic!

Skin Protect Hand Sanitizers - Just another need for hygienic purposes! It is also a buy-one-take-one promo from Watsons so I have these two!. Green tea & aloe is my personal favorite scent.

Lip Ice Strawberry Lip Moisturizer - It has Beeswax formulation and contains natural ingredients such as Shea Butter, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil and Aloe Extract. It keeps lips moisturized, smooth, and healthy. Plus it gives natural sheer pink color to the lips which I love the most! And the smell of strawberry is so sweet. I think this has been the best lip moisturizer I’ve ever tried. I swear, I’ll forever be a Lip Ice Baby!

Star Magic Ball is one of the much awaited showbiz-related event here in the Philippines. People would always love to see their favorite celebrities walk in red carpet with their stunning outfits. Most of them always look forward to those who are in the list of “Best Dressed” (and even pick their own choices of “worst dressed” celebrities. lol) 

In choosing for Best Dressed, I always look into the overall factor from head to toe, not just the dress or gown alone but on how these celebrities carry themselves and their confidence level as well. In this case, supposedly, I’m gonna choose and share my own pick for “Best Dressed” but because I felt like it was too mainstream then I put a twist. Instead, I chose the top 10 of my favorite celebrity outfits on the said event. But not just favorite but also outfits and looks I would wish to wear or try. Again, I would like to clear it out that the following will only focus to the dress/gown alone not totally the “best dressed” thingy. 

So here we go..

1. On Kim Chiu - her gown is totally my first pick! I love the victorian-inspired details. Such a stunner!

2. On Bea Alonzo - So classy! What I like the most is the back part. 

3. On Julia Montes - Elegance! The word that sums up this body-hugging minimalist all black mermaid gown.

4. On Liza Soberano - though the color is black yet this gown doesn’t hide your youthfulness.

5. On Julia Baretto - Cute gown that would definitely create a charming look.

6. On Coleen Garcia - I love the black and white combo of this gown and the front details as well. 

7. On Jodi Sta. Maria - Aahh! The only tuxedo suit I would dare to wear on a formal event. I’d bet I’ll also be a show stopper. Hahaha!

8. On Empress Shuck - too many details but this is such a gorgeous -looking silvery gown.

9. On Ingrid Nicole Dela Paz - For the love of lace detailed dresses!

10. On KZ Tandingan - Simple but the cut and style made it unique from the others.

So that’s it! Another thing why I chose those outfits is that it doesn’t show too much skin (especially cleavages! Hahaha!) Oh well.. And by the way, sorry if I’m too lazy to research about the talented designers of these gorgeous gowns. hehe! Kudos to them! xx
