TOPAZ HORIZON

But first, naloka ako sa "well-known beauty maven" sa invitation. As in hahahahaha! Thanks, Philosophy, for calling me that even though I'm not exactly Miss Universe! Far from it! But, because of my current skincare regimen, I have the best skin I've ever had in all my 38 years. So, let me share with you what Philosophy products are making my skin look amazing, then I'll give you a peek at my little skincare party, and then I'll invite you to the next Philosophy pretty party!

Philosophy products I love
I only started using Philosophy this summer. As many of my blog readers know, I had been using and loving Shiseido's Ibuki skincare line. Now, Ibuki is designed for people in their 20s but it had worked for me anyway. Unfortunately, at the start of this year, hindi na yata nakayanan ng Ibuki ang almost-40-year-old skin ko. So I began using a drugstore brand touted for its regenerating abilities. Unfortunately again for me, the only thing it regenerated on me are pimples!!!

Left with dark pimple spots all over my face, I was looking for something to slough off the dead and tired skin layer and a brightening moisturizer. I've been getting facials at the Aivee Clinic but because I wasn't following instructions (OxyGeneo facials should be done every 10 days and my schedule was always too full for me to follow that strictly), my skin would go back to being dull. I needed something I can do at home. This is the miraculous answer:

My skin is always super soft and smooth after using this. I use this once a week. I'll do a full review next month. Anyway, love love this but because I'm 38 na, I need to exfoliate more than once a week so I added this:
This is kinda sticky and it stings a little since it's a chemical peel. But it really adds a glow! I'll do another review of this, too, next month!

Then because I have dark acne spots and freckles (also known as sun damage!), I added a brightening line. Within two weeks, my spots started lightening up!

Because the spots situation is being managed, I started using this last week. It's the anti-aging line of Philosophy and I can see changes in my skin!
Reviews soon! Oh, I'm really planning to blog regularly now! Kahit once a week man lang, or photos man lang! I miss my readers!

Anyway, my dear Loyal Readers, why don't we have a fun afternoon together, finding out about skincare, getting pampered, and getting fab Philosophy products? Just like how my friends did one fine afternoon when I invited them to a small party at Philosophy Mega Fashion Hall! Here's what happened:

The fun Topaz Horizon x Philosophy workshop


These are my friends right after their facials. Walang makeup yan!!! Everyone had a real glow after their Philosophy facial! (Standing, from left) Anne, Kabbie; Philosophy's Barbs Aguirre-Miravalles and Tin Conde; Claire, (sitting, from left) Tricia, me, and Maan.

Because she left for Baguio as soon as her facial was done, Pinky didn't get to join the class photo. But here's her after-facial photo where all all she's wearing is lipstick!!! She did a selfie with my bunso, Piero. Parehas silang flawless!

And the winner of the raffle is Anne! This is what she got:

Last month, my #TopazHorizonxPhilosophy #TopazLearningWorkshop was with friends. We had a little kikay talk, then a fab facial, a shopping party, and everyone went home gorgeous and with a bag of Philosophy products. Oh, and we had a raffle, too! These are the prize products - the beloved Amazing Grace plus a lip gloss. Fun! Now I'm holding another workshop for my blog readers! Which works better for you - weekend or weekday? 😄
