Beauty Saladbox Skin Care VMV Hypoallergenics VMVXSaladbox

Unknown 7:10 AM Add Comment

Saladbox is continuously surprising us with their exciting collaborations with different beauty brands! After an exclusive sampling partnership with cult beauty brand Benefit cosmetics, they now bring us another beauty brand that I love that focuses more on skin care, VMV Hypoallergenics. 

VMV Hypoallergenics is one of the biggest beauty brands in the country, and for the month of April, they're collaborating with Saladbox to bring us their best skin care products!

Saladbox subscribers can expect a PhP3,500 value for a PhP500 price tag, making this Saladbox edition yet another beauty steal. 

Each VMV X Saladbox includes:

VMV Hypoallergenics Armada Sport Sunscreen (PhP500 SRP)

 VMV Hypoallergenics Skin-a-Jiffy facial gift certificate (PhP750)

 VMV Hypoallergenics Superskin-Starts-Here set (cleanser, toner, and moisturizer; retails at PhP1,245)

I've been using these products for a week now and I've noticed a huge difference on my skin! I use these products before going to bed and before applying make up in the morning and I've noticed that my skin isn't so oily as before and my make up doesn't crack up even at the end of the day! My skin feels more refreshed and clean.

VMV Hypoallergenics Lipstick (PhP1,075)

For this month's box, you can choose the color and finish of your lipstick! 

 Imagine getting all of these items at P500?! WHAT A STEAL!

Saladbox subscribers will also get to be invited to exclusive beauty events at selected VMV Hypoallergenics boutiques nationwide. Stay tuned for #VMVxSaladbox Beauty Soir�es in BGC and SM Megamall this coming April and May! Online giveaways are also expected this April, with full sized VMV products and services up for grabs. 

 Check out the partnership and buy your Saladbox subscriptions at http://www.saladbox.com.ph/vmv-hypoallergenics. Subscriptions available are Starter Plus Plan (3-month prepaid subscription), Six-Month Prepaid Plan, and One-Year Prepaid Plan.

Leading beauty box Saladbox partners with global brand (one of my personal favourites) Benefit Cosmetics in curating their latest beauty box this March 2016!

This March 2016 Saladbox is themed Wanderlust featuring products perfect to bring when travelling. Imagine having your favorite Benefit Cosmetics products in travel size all in one box? Pretty convenient right? This Saladbox edition marks three firsts in the local beauty industry: first time for Benefit Cosmetics to sample a full-sized product via a beauty box, first time for Saladbox to offer the Saladbox Sample Select feature, and first time for consumers to try out Benefit�s newest launch: They�re Real! Tinted Lash Primer.

Each Wanderlust Saladbox will include one (1) full-sized product, three (3) deluxe samples, and one (1) brow wax gift card. With over PhP2,700 in total value for a PhP500 price tag, this is definitely a beauty steal!

Saladbox also debuts its newest feature, Saladbox Sample Select, wherein subscribers may choose one sample they will receive. For this month�s box, it is a choice between Benefit�s Rockateur Box o� Powder and Rockateur Ultra Plush Lip Gloss, both in full size. 

I personally were able to try Benefit's newest They're Real! Tinted Lash Primer and it works like magic! One of my biggest insecurities are my eyelashes. They're nowhere to be seen! That's why I don't skip the falsies every time I go out for events. Good thing there's this product now that enhances my thin and short lashes and make it look longer and fuller. You can use this product alone but since I have really thin lashes I coat my favourite They're Real! Mascara to achieve that flutter look!

 They're Real! Tinted Lash Primer is now available in stores since March 1!

I've been a fan of Benefit Cosmetics ever since but I haven't tried their Brow Bar! Honestly, I always believe that its a waste of money for me to groom my brows at local brow bars here because like my lashes, my brows are also thin. I have thin strands of hair on my brows that's why I just groom them myself. But ever since Benefit made me try their famous Brow Bar, I'm sure I'm going to be a regular. Unlike threading and plucking, brow waxing is pain-free, fuss free and lasts longer. Plus they'll teach you how to take care and do your brows. First they do brow mapping then they use hot wax and strip off unwanted hair on your brows. After the waxing procedure, they will do your brows using your favourite Benefit products! Brow Waxing lasts for 3 weeks to one month depends on your hair growth but it definitely lasts longer than shaving.

TADAH! Perfectly groomed brows are the best!

Bloggers going gaga over Benefit Cosmetics!

First of all, I'd like to greet everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!:)

How's your holidays? Mine was good! It felt great spending time with the family and friends and be off from work even for just a week! Hope you all had a great Christmas celebration!:)

Anyway, year 2013 will be over in a few days!! I'm psyched! 2013 went by sooo fast! I'm happy and blessed for all the things that I've achieved this year and I'm looking forward for more in 2014!!

Speaking of new year, do you always get the feeling of wanting to have something new? Like a new planner, a new goal, a new career or maybe the simplest thing like a new look? I do! haha! I got tired of my usual dark waist-long hair! I don't cut my hair short so I think this new look is already short for me! Let me tell you more about achieving this new look, of course with the help of one of my favorites, David's Salon!:)

Last year, I had my friend color my hair brown but it didn't showed up because my hair was sooo black. I remember swearing when I was in high school that I would never color my hair brown but I guess I'm taking it back now. I guess being an art student made me want to explore new looks for myself. 

Earlier this year, David's Salon colored my hair brown and I totally loved the look! My hair is naturally straight but I had it rebonded for a totally shampoo commercial look! haha! Achieve!

Later this year, I've noticed that my roots are showing up already! This is the ugliest thing that can happen for a colored hair. So I had my hair revamped at David's Salon!

I just wanted to have a lighter hair color that's why I told my hairstylist Ms. Sonia Calibuso to color it lighter than the usual. She's so good in knowing what I want because I always end up liking the color she applies! Don't you just get the feeling sometimes that you're kind of regretting your hair treatment? I never had that experience in David's! Every treatment is just perfect!

After my hair color, Ms. Sonia gave me a rebonding treatment. Rebonding doesn't just make your hair straight but also makes your hair look healthy!

After my rebonding and coloring, I had my hair cut! 4 inches off my waist-length hair! I was so shocked at first but I loved the look! So light and easy! Don't expect me to cut it shorter. haha! Not a fan of a short-length hair. :p

This is what my hair looks like before...

TADAH!

Here's the final look! Lighter hair color, rebonding and 4 inches off my dark brown waist-length hair! I think my hair looks healthier now! What do you think? :)

I don't usually had my hair cut straight, I always want it cut in a V shape.

No split ends! Healthier looking hair!
