ELF Studio Line Mini Haul
Hello! I got myELF studio line orders last Wednesday. This is just a small portion of the huge ELF haul that I made way bank in May. Unfortunately, the order was split into two separate lots, and the second lot did not make it on time. =( Anyway, I'll be getting the rest of my stuff by July. This is what I got from the studio line:
Brushes and the Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder
Powder brush (Flat top, very soft, a must have)
Complexion Brush (paddle shaped, very soft as well)
Eyeshadow C brush (very dense, good for packing on color on the lids)
Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder (sooo purrrtty! Many MUAs have compared this to the NARS Laguna and Orgasm Duo)Watch out for Part 2 of my ELF Haul. That will be sometime in July. ^_^

How to manage stress and more Cyleina Soaps
Stress drains energy at a critical level, but to keep it up you must keep focused on things you like the most. For me, my work may be very demanding, but it keeps me busy and it takes my mind off things that makes me feel depressed or sad. Another hobby is online shopping. IMO, finding great bargains over the Internet is like opening a treasure chest. You may not know what's in store for you, but the feeling of excitement is so overwhelming that every bargain is like gold discovered in an open field. :) So to keep me busy, I shopped around for more Cyleina soaps. Here is my most recent haul.
Grapeseed Extract soap, Tomato Soap, Shea butter soap, Batangas Coffee Soap, and Black Pearl Soap.
I'll be giving updates on my sister's condition once we get the results of her biopsy. To those who have helped us in praying for her speedy recovery, THANK YOU. =)
A request to my fellow bloggers...
My 19 year old sister was diagnosed with stage 1 Ovarian Cancer. she's scheduled to have her left ovary removed on June 9th. Please join me in praying for her safety and speedy recovery.
Giving in to the Cyleina Craze..
After a giving it a lot of thought, I finally decided to join the bandwagon and be a part of the Cyleina Soap circle of users (LOL). Actually, I have wanted to try their soaps for the longest time, but it was only last Monday that I finally realized that I won't satisfy my curiosity until I give it a shot. So I ordered them thru Ebay and got them today. And boy, I am so happy with my purchase.
Here's my Cyleina loot. I got 6 soaps, 3 for me and the other 3 for my friend. I got the black pearl, tomato, and strawberry soaps, while she opted for black pearl, lavender, and kojic soaps.
Here are some things that I have noticed about the soaps:
- The packaging is not good, but it's not that bad either. I guess the manufacturer (or proprietor) is trying to save up on costs to make the soaps more affordable.
- For P60 a piece, the soaps are big, except for the black pearl, which is at 45g, I think. Really budget friendly.
- The scents of the soaps aren't that strong. For me that's an advantage because I am not really a fan of fancy-scented soaps, except if they're made for aromatherapy purposes.
And here are my thoughts on the soaps on an individual basis:
Tomato Soap. It's a red orange soap. I used it on my face. GT gals says that it's good for drying up zits and tightening pores. When I tried it, I noticed a slight stinging sensation, but it's tolerable. I have an emerging zit, and after using it and sleeping for 8 hours, the zit has almost dried up. As for the tightening factor, that I have to wait if that would really happen.
Strawberry Soap. It's a pink soap with strawberry poppy seeds sprinkled on it. It is supposed to exfoliate the skin (which it did), and whiten it at the same time. Well, of course, at this time I can't tell yet if there's a whitening effect. I guess I'll also have to wait on that.
Black Pearl Soap. It's a round, black soap infused with collagen, arbutin, licorice, and vitamin E. I love the fact that it leaves a minty feeling after I used it, makes me drift off to sleep faster and makes me feel good all over. I love this soap. I just hope that I bought more because it is so tiny compared to the rest of the soaps that I bought.
So there you have it. Overall, I am pleased with my haul and will definitely repurchase once my stock runs out. And lastly, this product is 100% Genuine Pinoy Product, made by a Pinay named Leigh Hortaleza (yippee!). Cyleina soaps are available thru resellers on Ebay.ph and at selected Hortaleza Beauty Stores across Metro Manila. For the list of their authorized resellers, you may visit their Multiply site.
Happy Bathing! ^_^
