Last February, I entered a contest by MegastylePH. They were giving away Guess goodies through their webpage: Looks to Love. Entering was so easy - I just filled in my Name, Mobile Number, Email Address and Birthday.

With March almost up, and regular school season at an end, I can say that SUMMER is officially ON. I have been thinking of buying at lot for sunscreen and protection for the onslaught of sun in the coming months but was still saving pennies and waiting for sales. I mean these things don't really come cheap, and I believe that you get what you pay for when you consider buying sunscreen. I was really, really thankful that I came across a post in Instagram about this:

My new favorite everyday lotion right now is Kojie-San's Lightening Lotion. I first bought the variant which has no SPF on it. What got my attention choosing from the tens of choices at the store was that it specifically had a "Paraben-Free" label on the back.While the claim to the harmful effects of parabens is still debatable, my mindset is that it is much better to err on the side of caution. Out of all the lotions to choose from the store, I only found a 2 or 3 which have no parabens and this one was the cheapest, so I decided to try this.

These are my go-to body lotion and face cream for the moment. I got a couple of Kojie-San Body Lightening Lotion, one (right) has no SPF while the other has SPF 25. Another product is the Kojie-San Face Lightening Cream.

Description (from NYX website)
NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick is our classic lipstick for all occasions. The mineral-based emollient formula offers a beautiful velvet texture, saturated color and it resists wear and smudging. It’s your go-to lipstick. From Pure Nude to Pink Lyric to Chic Red, Round Lipstick is available in a jaw-dropping variety of shades.

Color: Described as "Clean Pink"  NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Istanbul is light baby pink (warm tone). I would recommend these for people who are around NC30 who wants a neutral pink lippie.

NYX products is one of my favorite brands of cosmetics. Not only are they affordable but they are also up high when it comes to quality. No, you don't get what you pay for, you get a lot more.

Ever Bilena is a local brand offering very affordable makeup. I have tried some of their products in the past but found most of them to be not of very good quality.
