Beauty: Korea's Purederm Products at Watsons

I wasn't expecting for this day to be so hectic, even when I am working from home - stress piles up like a haystack! I am sure you experience this too. With not enough time to de-stress, I remembered I hoarded some products at Watsons which is my favorite one stop beauty store.

Incidentally, all the products I got were from Purederm just because their stuff looks Korean and so easy to use but are effective as well. Is this the best-kept beauty secret of Koreans? Hmmm...



For any pair of hands and fingers who've been typing/mousing all day (or harvesting in Farmville for some people) this Deep Moisture Hand Mask is for you. One pack of this contains two masks for your left and right hand. Just wear the masks on your hands, wear vinyl gloves (the type doctors use, I get mine from Watsons), then remove everything after 30 minutes.

The orange circles you see are eye masks and I've been using them since college. You pop them on the fridge and just peel two circles from the bunch, put on your eyes, relax, then throw the used pads away. Eyeloveit.

Purederm's facial masks are one of my favorite things, I like their whitening pearl masks but I wanted to try this for a change.



Lavander Collagen Mask which provides intensive hydration while the Lavender is a soothing antiseptic (perfect for problematic skin like mine). Unlike other masks, Purederm's always use natural pulp sheet which adheres to the face better. The cut outs are too cool!



I still have BB Cream phobia (because I broke out after trying 2 brands of BB creams) yet I thought I might try Purederm's. Will let you know how it goes when I've used it :)

So relaxing just looking at these beauty products, you can actually try them. Just visit your nearest Watsons store and have fun picking the right Purederm product for you.

Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream

One day I was roaming around like a headless chicken in the beauty department and found this:


It's Maybelline's Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream!

Wow even Maybelline has a BB cream now and it has a more affordable price of around Php 300. I've been a Maybelline junkie ever since highschool and I'm happy to find this one. I haven't tried it yet but I pushed a friend to try it on the counter.



She applied it all over her face. The effect increased skin clarity meaning it covered minor flaws like freckles and brown spots. It seemed easy to apply yet it did not offer that "glowing" effect that some other brands offer.

However, I still want to grab a tube and try it. I am frustrated at how my Elianto BB Balm made me break out and gave me cystic pimples on my chin and jawline :(

Elianto Miracle UV BB Balm - I Got It!

I think Elianto has cast a spell on me, I swear I am not being sent these products but buying them off the shelf! I just thought I needed a new approach when it comes to make-up and I am trying it the Korean way through this Korean brand. All though I read some say it is made in Malaysia and not Korea, it still works the same according to most beauty bloggers :)



My first Elianto purchase was a success and I couldn't sleep until I got another product which is the Elianto Miracle UV BB Balm. Elianto's best seller, in fact, one stall I visited said they were out of stock. So I asked my super nice lovey dovey hubby again to get me this item here at SM Bacoor where they also have a new stall.

It was my friend Mariel, who tried the BB Balm first when we first saw the Elianto shop. It gave her a glowing and fresh look although the attendant used the BB Balm together with the BB cream. Both items are around Php 700 each, I asked if the BB Balm can be used alone and the saleslady said yes but the effect is better if it is topped with the BB cream.


Untouched Elianto Miracle UV BB Balm

I haven't tried it yet, my Elianto BB Balm is still a virgin until I have the time to go out and put it to use. Then, I shall post pictures again of the result. I've been looking at YouTube for video tutorials on how to properly use the Elianto BB Balm but I can't find any! x.x
