O.N.E Naturales Haul

 Hi everyone!


For today I will post my first ever haul in this blog. I don't do hauls on a regular basis because as much as I'd like to try out new products, I almost always finish up what I have in my stash first before buying. 




Anyways, I've always been curious about O.N.E. Naturales products but I've never gotten to try them as they are pricey. So when I found out that they were having their first anniversary sale, I thought I would just purchase and try some of their products.

Look What Came in the Mail Today

After 10,000 years or 37 days to be exact  my Nose Magic has finally arrived. I thought I would never ever get to receive it. I don't know why it took so long since on their website it says it takes around 7 days for it to be delivered in the Philippines. 


Anyway, I decided to order this because of the raves I've read in a beauty forum. I wanted to see for myself if it really does work. You can get one for yourself online and you can pay for it thru your credit card or thru Western Union. I payed for mine thru the latter method and it costed me Php851.50.


For more information on the product you can visit their FAQ page by clicking here.


I'd give an update after using it for a month.
Till then!

Purederm Deep Moisture Hand Mask


I got this hand mask at Watsons weeks ago since they were buy one get one free. Normally, a piece would cost Php79.75 but since it’s on promotion a piece would only cost less than Php40. I would not have bought it  if it weren’t on promo as I find it pricey and I’m pretty satisfied applying my Aveeno lotion on my hands whenever I need some moisturization. Anyway, I went and purchased 3 and got myself 6 pieces. Yey!

Here’s what Purederm has to say about this Deep Moisture Hand Mask:
The Purederm Deep Moisture Hand Mask Almond is an intense moisture treatment that restores suppleness to dry, rough, overworked hands. Enriched with Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Camellia Japonica Oil,Opuntia Tuna Extract and other natural antioxidants and emollients, this newly designed sheet type hand mask penetrates quickly & deeply to protect, nourish, and moisturize skin. After just one use, you will feel dramatically improved skin tone and texture!    

Directions on how to use the hand mask as printed on the back of the packaging:
  1. Wash your hands with warm water
  2. Open the pocket and wear hand masks
  3. Wear vinyl gloves over hand masks
  4. After 20-30 minutes put off the vinyl gloves and hand masks
I recommend preparing the vinyl gloves first before putting on the hand mask since it would be hard to put the vinyl gloves when the hands are already soaked with the essence of the hand mask. Trust me, I wasn’t able to put on the vinyl gloves at my first use since my hands are already soaked. Oh well at least I’ve learned the trick for my 2nd use.

The mask had a faint smell of almonds which I like as it was very soothing. The tapes that came with the mask are very practical. It secures the hand mask and gloves in place so you would be assured that it wouldn’t slip off your hands. You can multi-task by typing on your computer or reading a book with the hand mask is on.  The Purederm hand mask can be a great D-I-Y hand spa treatment at home. You can try to use your favorite hand scrub first to exfoliate and put this mask on next. Then, afterwards you can apply your favorite hand cream/ lotion but you can probably skip that since this mask has really great moisturizing properties. It really does make a difference after one use on the moisturization department though don’t expect anything about the improved skin tone part. I’m amazed as I wasn’t expecting much from the mask. My hands were moisturized for the whole day. It would be great for pampering yourself or for use during special occasions like going on a date, perhaps? You wouldn’t know if you’d be holding hands with your date after all.  You better be prepared and leave a good impression, right?

Oh and this hand mask is also a great treat for moms since they do a lot of household chores. Their hands need all the TLC they could get. I gave one to my mom and she loved it as much as I did.

Veet Sensitive Skin Hair Removal Cream





I have been using this product for a long time already that I've lost track of how many tubes I had consumed. I am balbon and I prefer to be hair-less as skin appears neater and smoother looking that way. Veet hair removal cream has three variants and I use the one for sensitive skin since I have that skin type. The 100ml tube lasts me for a month and I use it once a week for my arms and legs. I apply it first on my arms and then on my legs and leave it on for about 8 minutes then take the spatula that comes with it to remove the cream.  Veet for sensitive skin can be left on for a maximum of 10 minutes. The 100ml tube costs Php224.75 while the trial sized one costs Php99 and has 25ml. If you're new to the product I suggest picking up the 25ml tube to test whether you like the product or not but if you're already a regular user of veet then buying the regular sized product is a much wiser option as it is more cost effective.  With a little bit of math, it only cost around Php56 per usage to get rid of unwanted hair. That's pretty inexpensive IMO. Though it is made for sensitive skin I still get some red spots in my arms or legs after using the product however fret not as it disappears by itself after less than an hour. I suggest not using any scented lotion after using this as it may irritate the skin. I love that this doesn't give me chicken skin or ingrown hairs. However, I find the scent is weird. It doesn't bother me much than before though because I've gotten used to it.

Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay

Price less than Php500 (I can’t recall the exact price since the last time I purchased this was last February)
Size 1lb




     I found out about this product through a random video I have watched on YouTube. I got curious about it thereafter and started to search reviews for it on the internet. All reviews I’ve read seem to be raving about this product so I immediately wanted to try it out for myself.  To my surprise it is even available in our country! So I went in to the nearest healthy options store to purchase one. (This review is long overdue as I am on my second tub already!  And btw a tub lasts for more than 6 months on me. This is such a good deal.)

The Verdict
     I have been religiously using this for more than a year and I think it really does a good job at deep cleaning the face. I love how the mask feels on my face especially when the mask starts to harden (that’s the time when you really feel like your face is pulsating). I use the mask twice a week and leave it on until it’s completely dry. I really don’t know how long I leave it on since I watch TV or tinker with my computer while I’m on it.

     According to the directions written at the back of the tub, use a non-metal bowl and utensil. I use a plastic spoon to scoop product out on the tub and put it on a plastic bowl to mix it with water to form the mixture that I put on my face. Usually I scoop out a tablespoonful of clay and mix it with about 2 tablespoons of water. The consistency should not be too thick or too watered down otherwise it would be difficult to apply.  I use the e.l.f. foundation brush to apply the mask on my face. I apply a thicker amount on my nose and cheeks as I feel that those areas need more deep cleaning than the rest. Washing off the mask can be messy and difficult.  It’s hard to get the whole mask off with just water alone so I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub to scrub off the bits and pieces that’s left on my face and as well as to help remove the blackheads and whiteheads. There might be slight redness after use but it will disappear in no time. The final result: I am left with soft and smooth skin.
