Celeteque DermoScience Soothing Lip Balm

Taking a quick break from a whole day meeting drove me to Watson's inside my office's building. I haven't really bought any cosmetics during the last month or so because I wanted to rest my face with too much experiment. I had a major breakout of my life and I swear I don't want to go back to that again. My face is too far from perfect but at least now, zits are manageable and scars are slowly vanishing.

Ok. I think I am getting further from my post as lip balm does not really affect my face. Lol. I think the best reason why I was compelled to buy one is that I ran out of Carmex and my  EOS spheres are nowhere to be found. I can't stand using a lipstick without a lip balm underneath so I end up having pale lips these days.

I was about to detach a Lip Ice lip balm on its holder when a Celeteque lady approached me and introduced me to their brand's lip balm under the DermoScience+ line. Honestly, I cannot muster good words for the line as one of the causes of my breakout was the their facial wash. It must be the classic "hiyang" issue. But at the end of it all, I still managed to give Celeteque another shot - this time in their lip balm.

Winning factors:
- Opening the little round container excudes an enticing smell which might be produced by mulberry extracts. The scent is so nice I want to bite it. Haha.
- I love the mositurizing oil for it softens and smoothens my lips. I guess this is the basic principle of a good lip balm.

Drawbacks:
- I am used to a tubed lip balm so it's a major turnoff for me to dip my finger on the container and glide it on my lips. It's just gross.
- Quite pricey at Php 199. I'd rather go for EOS if this is the case.

Overall, I am happy that I have a new lip balm to do the basic job of smoothening my lips. While it is not something irreplaceable, I could say still say that Celeteque lip balm is a decent buy.

So tomorrow is a lipstick day once again!

Late Night Long Bath

Can you believe it? I was curling in my bed for at least 17 hours. Yes, 17 freakin' hours! Now, where did my Sunday go?! Ugh. Anyway, I started my day at around 8 PM by snapping some food to fill my orphaned stomach, finished some chips that I left yesterday, and moved on to do Turbo Fire workout. I am starting to love this high intensity work out by the way. I just do hope I will continue to squeeze it on my daily routine for 21 days to officially make it as a habit - ah any exercise for that matter, not just Turbo Fire. :)

So, what is the best thing to do after all the sweats were hugging your body? Of course, jump to the shower! I made sure I have an oh-so nice bath tonight because I really want to feel refreshed and make sure that I at least do my weekly vanity routine.

I had Watsons Repairing Treatment Wax and shower cap to baby my hair. I put on an enormous amount of the wax on my hair to let my hair feel pampered. Why not, I have two tubs of this wax which I got from the famous Watsons' buy one take one. :D I need this home treatment because I swear, my hair now is just as messy as my room. Lol. I am up for another hair treatment but I just really have no time (maybe I should have slashed out my sleep) to sit for long hours at the salon plus I am scouting for another one to try out. Don't get me wrong, I love Ystilo Salon which have been my go-to hair place for two years now but I just want to step on to other salon. There are lots of them, and I want to try other services! Meanwhile, while Watsons wax is not doing a miracle to my hair, it is at least giving a temporary care on my crowning glory. Hair is softer and feels "thinner" breaking off momentarily from the term buhaghag.

Then I opened my bottle of Body Shop shower gel. When I smelled it, I felt I was brought back to year 2004 when I had my first Body Shop shower experience. Yes, it was Body Shop who opened my eyes to the world of my now most loved vanity on earth - the shower gels! I was driven back to the old memories. Yeah, you know that feeling of associating memories on scents? I had a so-called trip down the memory lane while pampering my body with the rich and subtle scent of neroli jasmin. :) I love the fact that it is soap free and I felt how gentle it is on my skin. Really, I love touching my skin now. =) Ah, Body Shop never fails me!

After I dried my skin on the fan (yeah, I am not fond of scrubbing my towel onto my skin!), I had the luxury of time and interest to apply my lotion. The weather is nice so I don't worry that I'll feel greasy. I had my Victoria's Secret pure seduction lotion to top my vanity hour. It was a gift from my friend way back in Christmas 2010 - one of the staple gift/pasalubong of balikbayans. :)

So there it is. My Sunday "getaway". :D
