An Addiction to Remember...

I have been addicted to Human Heart Nature products from the time that I got introduced to the brand 2 years ago until now. I just find their products reasonably priced and effective at the same time. Whenever they would release something new, I always find myself checking out the new products out and buying them just for curiosity's sake.

Sometime last week I purchased a couple of their products. These aren't exactly newly introduced items though. These are products that I have tested and have worked for me, thus the repurchase factor.

Their packaging has greatly improved over the years. Just look their box. Very earthy and elegant looking. Before, the items would get shipped out without a box.

Everything was wrapped in newspaper, and spouts were carefully sealed. I got the following items: Sunflower Cleansing Oil and Anti bacterial Hand and Potty Spray.

The sunflower oil was made from premium cosmetic grade sunflower oil. It also comes with a mild scent, but to those who despises scented facial products, they also have the Sunflower Beauty Oil priced at Php 119.75. The sunflower oil does a good job at removing make up, even waterproof mascara, although it does not emulsify, unlike the cleansing oil from Shu Uemura. And it's really a good deal for Php 350.00. As with the spray sanitizer, it smells fresh, somewhat similar to lemongrass. I'm addicted to its scent and prefers this over the bubble gum scented one. It also does not a sticky feeling afterwards, unlike other hand sanitizers.

It's food porn time! While shopping for a new dress for our friend's wedding, we dropped by BonChon chicken and had our lunch there. BonChon is from Korea, and their specialty is of course, fried chicken. They double fry their chicken,thus the skin is super crispy, and their recipes for their sauce match the chicken so much that it's literally yum until the last bite.

French Fries. A bit soggy for something that has been served right away, but still yummy.

Kimchi Coleslaw. This is a perfect with the chicken, tasty and a lil spicy at the same time.

Hot Wings. Warning, this is not for those whose not fond of chili food, because this one is really spicy.

BonChon has a lot of branches now, but for those based in Makati, there's one in Ayala Triangle and for those who would want to go to Ortigas, SM Megamall and Robinson's Galleria branches are more than happy to satisfy your chicken cravings.

Working at night has its pros and cons. Sure, we get paid premiums for that, but it takes a lot of guts to do it, not to mention that our health deteriorates faster than the rest of us, and that's why we make sure that we take extra care of ourselves by buying extra vitamins,etc. But there are a lot of harmful elements out there that would just not stop making us look ugly in various parts of our body, and our only pair of lips is no exception to this. As someone who despises dry and flaky lips, the search for effective yet affordable lip products goes on.

I find the swirly designs on the tube as very chic and girly-ish. Human Heart Nature's packaging has really evolved over the years.

100% Natural Lip Balm in Choco Fudge. Other flavors are available like Tutti Frutti and Peppermint. Ingredients are as follows: Ricinus communis (Castor) seed oil, Beeswax, Theobroma cacao (Cocoa) seed butter, Caprylic/Capric Trigylceride, Helianthus annus (Sunflower) seed oil, Calendula officinalis (Calendula) extract, Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) extract, Tocopherol (+/-): Mentha piperita (Peppermint) essential oil, Menthyl lactate, Organic flavor oil, Theobroma cacao (Cocoa), Zinc oxide (CI 77947), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Iron Oxide (CI 77491)

Each tube is reasonably priced at P69.75 (It's on sale now at P64.75)

And now, here comes the tinted version of the lip balm,also 100% Natural

I got Flame Tree, which is the red one among all 3 shades, but to me it's a mix of red and brown tones. The rest are called Pink Orchid (pink) and Island Kiss (Coral). I will get the rest of the shades, eventually.

A glimpse of Flame Tree, with flash. This is darker in person, thus it's more wearable especially at day time.

Priced at P74.75, I think this is a very good option for those who wants red, luscious and moisturized lips. Ingredients are as follows: Ricinus communis (Castor) seed oil, Beeswax, Theobroma cacao (Cocoa) seed butter, Caprylic/Capric Trigylceride, Helianthus annus (Sunflower) seed oil, Calendula officinalis (Calendula) extract, Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) extract, Tocopherol (+/-): Mentha piperita (Peppermint) essential oil, Theobroma cacao (Cocoa), Zinc oxide (CI 77947), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Iron Oxide (CI 77491), Mica, and Titanium Dioxide.

One thing that you have to consider about these lip balms is that they're not that as accessible as traditional lip balms. I mean,there are stores that carry the HHN line, but I don't think all of the products shown online are available at the stores. Your best bet is to order them online at HHN's website. Delivery rate is fixed at P50.00.

Are you also a lippy product junkie? Share your thoughts here. :D

Cheerios,

Hi! Sorry I've been out of circulation again, I got sick for not being able to sleep well during the day because of the weather. It's been excruciatingly hot during the day,and chilly at night. I guess Christmas is really near, which spells traffic because of the non stop midnight sales here and there, and never ending Christmas parties. But don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, because it's the time that I get to spend some time with family members. So there. :)

I dropped by Hortaleza and got myself this Treatment Wax for my long hair(P120), Caronia fast dry top coat(P55, and Caron)ia Kwik Dry and cuticle conditioner(P33).

After Hortaleza, I entered a small shop that sells China-made stuff. I got a pair of short-to-long falsies for only P30, and a very chic bangle for only P160. :D

Close up of the bangle, with flash... check out those multi colored stones, they're super nice in person :D

Without flash... I think it looks expensive, do you agree?
