L'Oro della Vita Argan Soap

Weeks ago, I purchased Argan Soap (P220) from Filipino brand L'Oro della Vita (in English means 'the gold of life').  I've been using Ponds facial wash for as long as I can remember, but, this year, I'm on a quest for new products that my skin would love.

The Gold Bar is a face and body soap with Argan Oil and AHA fruit acids. 

Been using it for 2 weeks now, and, so far, I feel it's not great for my face, I have sensitive combination skin.  I've used St.Yves before with AHA or something that cleanses pores from the inside and caused minor bumps, then, my skin cleared by the 2nd week.  In this case, I didn't like the overall effect and feel of my 2-week use.  I still prefer my old product over it.  I used the leftover bar on my body and it's quite nice.

Perhaps, I should try their Pure Moroccan Argan Oil (P1,500/70ml) to moisturize after I wash my face with a different soap.  Argan Oil is a hot item in the beauty circuit at the moment, if you want to try it, then, buy from Pinoy brand L'Oro della Vita (it's cheaper than international brands).
 

Argan Oil is gaining popularity as a new skin care must have.  The Cosmetic Argan Oil is a purely natural organic oil, meticulously extracted from the nut of the ancient Argan tree, which is found exclusively in Morocco. The oil is the pride of the region’s Berbers and is highly celebrated as nature’s anti-aging serum and skin moisturizer.  The oil has been shown to improve problematic skin conditions such as scarring, acne, wrinkles, and psoriasis.

Only time will tell if the Argan Oil craze around the world is really a golden beauty secret . . .

Le Posh Blvd. Fragrances

I love yummy dessert scents like vanilla and chocolate.  But, I'm wary, since, these scents usually work better as bath or cream products.  Good thing, I've come across Le Posh Blvd. Vanilla Ice Body Mist  (P245/200 ml).  Le Posh Blvd. is a Filipino brand of fragrances worth buying.

Vanilla Ice didn't give me a headache.  It's a mild yummy vanilla scent!  I smell candy, ice cream, cookies, etc. in every whiff.  Perfect for kids and foodies.  The scent lingers, a few spritz and you're good to go.  I also love their fruity scent Apple Pear Body Mist which smells a lot like Victoria Secret's Pear Glace, but, comes with a bargain price of  P245 for 200 ml.

Le Posh Blvd. also comes with Eau de Toilette for Men and Women.  Below is Enchanted, a nice floral perfume for women at P299/50 ml.

Le Posh Blvd. is available at Rustan's Essences

A Nice Pair of Foldable Flats - Yosi Samra

Just though of buying myself an early Christmas gift to avoid the xmas rush, ha ha!  I already have gifts for family and friends hiding in my closet (unwrapped).  And, as if by Santa's help, my quest for a nice pair of flats has come to an end.  Yosi Samra, (yosisamra.com) I've finally found you!

Shoes and sandals are stuff I'll never buy online as I really need to try them on before I make a purchase.  I'm actually looking for Corso Como Ballasox (not yet here), but, found Yosi Samra instead.  It's a good 2nd choice.  These cute flats can be purchased in the Philippines at Greenbelt 3 (GAS), Trinoma (Yosi Samra kiosk), Powerplant Mall, and Alabang Town Center (Yosi Samra Store).  Sadly, not all designs are available in the Philippines, like spring floral below that I'm in love with.

Priced in the range of  P2,495 - P3,500 up, but, they're worth it as you'll have gleeful feet.  These flats are comfy, cute/pretty, and, with good quality workmanship.  For me, they're a better buy than those high-end (overpriced) ballet flats.  They could also fold like a maxi pad - shove them in your bag and bring anywhere.

They come in a variety of designs and colors to fit your fashionista wardrobe or as a spare to take a break from your unforgiving killer heels at the end of the day.

Yosi Samra, the creator of these same name flats come from a family of professional shoe makers and he is passionate about creating high quality shoes for the modern fashionable woman.  Your feet will thank you for Yosi Samra.

Now, now, now, Corso Como Ballasox, it's time for you to follow Yosi Samra and have a store in the Philippines!
