Vaseline Lip Care Tube in Rosy

 

Even though I wear mask whenever I go out, I make it a point to wear hydrating lip products to keep my lips from getting dry and rough from the friction between lips and mask!  

The most problem people usually failed to notice!  Most concerns fall on skin - that explains maskne, but little does people realize, our lips are taking the most burden!

I was sent a couple of tubes of Vaseline Lip Care (Made in Korea!) and I took it on a side for a while as I have this personality of finishing up whatever I am currently using before opening a new one!

Finally, after more than 2 years into the pandemic, I gave this 100% Vaseline Jelly a try!  A well-known brand for lip care!  I tested this product and I am happy to announce that this surpasses my expectations!  

I knew Vaseline is good, well-trusted, but it is always NOT ENOUGH for my dry and parched lips!  Thankfully, this particular product offers more!

Vaseline Lip Care does not only hydrate my lips instantly upon application, it kept my lips looking moist and healthy throughout the day!  It is smooth, non-sticky, non-greasy and stays that way for longer time as compared to the old version!

Makeup Tutorial: Blush Pink Look

I seldom wear color on my lids, actually, I seldom wear makeup!  I'm just too lazy (and it's probably me getting old!) .  

I recently went on 2 "staycation" and realized, I even bring the least amount of makeup and most of the time, they are multi-tasking!  

So here's my simplest "blushed" makeup look!  You'll understand why the name after watching my quick #AMWIGtv !  

It is also a first for me to wear pink on lids, cheeks and lips!  Again, you'll know why this is a monochromatic look! (hint: lazy to bring more makeup! :P)

But this is also a chance for me to showcase the newest POP color that I got from Clinique.  I also used several new items like the K-Palette 1Day Tattoo Lasting Eyebrow Tint Pens which I recently reviewed.

Cheers to testing more products and let me know if you like this look!

#SeizeTheSummer and Win a Trip for 3 to Bali, Indonesia!

New AMW readers probably do not know that I used to be a Vaseline Girl and I still am!

Several years ago, one of my biggest project as a blogger was Vaseline Road Trip of  A Lifetime, you can read more about my entries HERE.

That's why when I got an invite for a launch of Vaseline Healthy White's newest product, I had to clear up my schedule and go!  Seriously, this brand is dear to my heart not only because they made me a Vaseline girl in the past, but I actually used Healthy White and finished up Nth number of tubes!

At the launch, I was greeted with this table set up...ahh Summer is definitely here!

The star product was there, up close and I gave it a test right away!  Thank Lord they didn't change the scent!  The scent brought me back to so much good memories!  

AMW Reviews: Vaseline Healthy White Instant Fair

Since it's Thursday, I'm doing a bit of a throwback Thursday post!  I can still remember the fun days Hannah, Ada and I had during our Vaseline Roadtrip of a Lifetime!  It was one of the major projects I've done in my blogging career!  I'm still very thankful to my Unilever family and Media Contacts for the opportunity.  If you have time to read my previous posts, click VASELINE ROADTRIP OF A LIFETIME.

Though it has been 4 years, I can proudly say that I still use Vaseline Healthy White SPF24 Triple Lightening Lotion and I even turned my sister into a believer.  (Review of the product HERE)  She buys this lotion and blames me for making her addicted to it! :)  I love you sis!

Fast forward to today, I saw a commercial on the newest Vaseline Healthy White Instant Fair Visible Fairness Lotion and I wasn't sold!  I originally thought this is the usual instant whitening product that makes you appear chalky, fake and texture is yucky!  Thanks to my Sampleroom Family for sending me samples OR else, I won't even dare purchase this as I'm afraid of looking like "human espasol"!

Tip for the Day: On Beauty Tips from Anne Curtis (and me!)

Dear AMW Friends, 

Okay, the title sounds exciting because it says Beauty Tips from Anne Curtis (I just want to grab your attention!)  If I've written Beauty Tips from Me, you're probably not reading this post!  *laughs * Got ya!

Who wouldn't want to hear beauty tips from the goddess Anne Curtis?  I have to admit, I'm never a fan/follower of a particular actress but one local actress I look up to is Anne Curtis!  She's not only gorgeous, she's got the confidence any woman would love!  And because of that, you see Anne on TV multiple times a day and you wonder what keeps her from looking tired, haggard and stressed!

One of the most recent commercial I've seen from her is her Athena Commercial.  Athena is said to be the only milk with Beautrition, Antioxidants and Vitamins A, E and Zinc that gives woman the healthy glow!

 

Seriously, I need that, I do not have enough sleep since I gave birth so watching Anne share her beauty tips on how to have a healthy glow that comes from inside and out via Athena Beauty Hour websisodes!  Of course, aside from her tips I'm injecting my own at the latter part of this post especially for women who can't get as much sleep as much as they want to! 

AMW Reviews: Vaseline Healthy White SPF24 Triple Lightening

I am not a whitening lotion user, I love my skin color the way it is.  When Vaseline contacted me for a challenge, to use this Vaseline Healthy White SPF24 Triple Lightening Lotion on a 6-days Road Trip on the Northern Region.  (Note: Northern Region is way hotter compared to Manila), I want to tell them: "Are you guys crazy?".  With only SPF24, I thought it won't be enough and I'll probably go home too dark my family won't recognize me!  Prepare to be surprised like myself!  This is one product I've tested at the most extreme condition - Super hot and humid weather under direct sunlight (Laoag, Pagudpod and Vigan), then off to a cooler weather (Baguio).  Both weather condition isn't good to my very sensitive skin. 

Vaseline Healthy White SPF24 Triple Lightening says ---

With UVA protection, UVB protection, and vitamin B3.  It provides three layers of protection that help keep skin fair and even toned, in a light, non-sticky, daily moisturizer.  Be visibly lighter with 3x more sun protection.

AMW says ---

Pros

• non-sticky in an instant!  Do not have to wait long for the stickiness to settle down
• smells good
• moisturizing enough 
• has SPF24 for a whitening and moisturizing lotion!  I was told this is the only whitening lotion in the market with the highest SPF
• has vitamin B3 which is good for your skin!
• UVA and UVB protection 
• no allergies or skin irritations  
• does not produce white cast on photos
• available in variable sizes

Cons

• just like regular sunblock, have to re-apply at least every 4 hours which is not ideal for lazy people :)

Overall

I apply this lotion every after shower and re-apply every 4 hours (if I remembered).  There are a lot of times I forgot about the re-application so I was bidding goodbye to my original skin color.  

The product works so well under the hot and humid weather, it wasn't sticky at all and re-applying this after every 4 hours does not feel gross at all.  On the cooler weather, my skin usually flakes due to dryness and I haven't seen that happen as well!

On our last leg of the Road Trip in Baguio, I took a look at this shot taken by Hannah on the 6th day of our Road Trip and I was quite amazed my skin color did not change much!  See for yourself. 

Tips

• wipe the mouth of your lotion after every usage to prevent product buildup

• if you'll be exposed in the sun for long time, do not forget to re-apply after every 4 hours
• purchase the smallest size to take it along with you for reapplication
• purchase the biggest size (with pump) for easy application and its cheaper!

Will I repurchase?
Yes!

Where to purchase and how much?
Available in leading supermarkets, department stores, drugstores and personal care stores nationawide
100ml is Php99.00 (approx $2.15)
200 ml is Php174.00 (approx $3.80)

Have a wonderful day!

Stay happy!

AMW Reviews: Vaseline Healthy Sunblock SPF30

I have this certain addiction for sunblock nowadays!  I haven't been leaving home without sunblock because of the harsh rays of the sun!  I'd rather do the extra sunblock application rather than going out under the sun and come home with uneven skin tone,  skin darkening, or worst --- WRINKLES!  

I've used so many brands of sunblock and since I was invited to be one of the Vaseline Bloggers, I have to at least give this brand a try and Vaseline Healthy Sunblock is first on the list!  I've given this product a test under the worst case sun scenario!  Here are my two cents...

Vaseline Healthy Sunblock SPF30 says ---

Non Sticky Water Resistant Sunblock Lotion

• protects and nourishes your skin to keep it healthy
• with yogurt protein known for skin nourishment and Aloe Vera Extract known to replenish skin moisture
• SPF30 and Broad Spectrum Sunscreen PA++ to effectively protect skin from harmful UVA and UVB radiation

AMW says ---
Pros

• smells divine!
• very cute colored packaging, easy to find!
• non-sticky
• water resistant and sweat resistant
• 2-in-1: Sunblock and moisturizer
• skin feels very moisturized 
• consistency of the product is just right, not too sticky nor too wet
• absorbs to the skin in an instant
• it did protect me from skin darkening, I came home with just very minimal tan!
• no signs of allergies or irritations

Cons

•  for people who aren't comfortable with SPF30, they may find this a bit low compared to other brands available out there ( as a city girl, I am seriously ok with SPF30 for a sunblock)
• need to wipe the mouth every now and then as product tends to build up on the cap

Overall

This is the best smelling sunblock I've tried to date!  It's scent is fresh and has a tiny hint of "tangerine" smell.  Re-applying this product every 4 hours is not an issue as it never gets sticky!

Did you know that?
if your skin normally takes 15 minutes to burn, using SPF30 means it will take 450 minutes for your skin to burn instead of the usual 15 minutes!  Isn't that cool?

Tips

• apply all over body 10-15 minutes prior to sun exposure
• re-apply after every 4 hours especially on prolong sun exposure
• always take this along with you for re-application
• always keep this in cool, dry place
• do wipe the "mouth" of the sunblock for "OC" purposes
• if skin irritations occur, STOP using the product immediately!
• do not forget to apply on areas that are commonly missed (ex. ears, back of the hand, etc..)

Will I repurchase?
Yes!

Where to purchase and how much?
At leading stores for approximately Php200+ (approx $5.00), will give the exact amount once confirmed!

Here's a closer look on Vaseline Healthy Sunblock

Check out its consistency, not too sticky nor wet

When rubbed, it shows a "white" film as most sunblock does

Absorbed to the skin immediately after further massaging

Have you tried this sunblock?
I'd love to hear from you!
