It’s been a week since I met POND’S Flawless White Light Infusing Under-Eye Cream (whew) and as promised, here’s my early verdict! ;)

I compared the earlier mentioned eye cream side to side with my Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream experience and oh my! Our little tube of hope from POND’S is it’s “save” counterpart! ;) Save for the “whitening” part (which I doubt can give me results in one week’s time), I’d like to show you its moisturizing and “filling” effect though this before & after application snaps:


my eye area after a 12hour shift…without anything but eye cream

I intentionally sat near my good old fashioned tukador light to emphasize the lines around my eyes (which still, my mother does not understand why on Earth do I show photos of my icky, unmade-up self for all the world to see LOL). The top photo, as mentioned is the “before application” snap. If you look closely, you will see defined lines under my right eye. You know how moisturized skin looks like after immediately after application? Well, I skipped that step and waited for 15more minutes before taking the “after application” snap. After the elapsed time, my right under-eye area still looks supple! ;)

Another pro about this product’s its almost gel-like consistency. Yes, a cream that feels like gel, ladies! How lovely is that? I also use so little:


our little tube of hope on my left index finger

I use that much for both eyes. I deem that it’s totally unnecessary to apply a lot since it will just crease up my concealer. :) Oh do I use this under mineral makeup? OH YES. Save for my current dilemma of mixing up the perfect under-eye concealer shade (since am loosing my tan), this works just fine in making the concealer stay put.

So there you have it! :) I’ll post more updates in a week’s time or two. Grab your tubes and let me know if it worked for you! ;)

Is it just me or these lip wonders’re just too delish to resist? My wallet (my credit card to be more specific) just lashed out on me knowing that am on my way clicking the “buy” icon for a tube of this and that. *le sigh*

Experience healthy and skin-friendly makeup, and feel the difference! Bringing the sensation from the US, we are launching the concept of mineral makeup here in the Philippines. This marks a first as all the mineral makeup brand vendors in the Philippines come together in one venue to celebrate mineral makeup and create more awareness about it to the market. Six brands would be joining, and as a treat, free samples will be given away, as well as free makeovers and skin consultations.

Moreover, talks will be held by skin specialists, makeup artists, and MMU brand owners as they showcase their strengths and advantages, and show us how to create simple yet stunning day and night looks.

More details’re HERE.
Again, again…the organizers are giving away 300 FREE mineral makeup loot bags worth Php500 each + a free mirror if you come on Saturday (head on to the link for more details) ;)

SEE YOU THERE! :)
