Y.O.U Beauty Gentle Clean! Deep Cleansing Balm 

gently dissolves makeup without stripping off your skin’s natural moisture.

A good and healthy skin is the basic foundation of any makeup products. Think of your skin as a blank canvas, color cosmetics can work well when you have great skin so that your makeup can give you what it promises after all makeup traditionally has been used to enhance one’s appearance and boost confidence. It is important to keep a regular skincare routine, especially when you always use makeup. 

As Y.O.U Beauty continues to innovate and develop products based on the needs of the market, we infused skin-caring ingredients and benefits on color cosmetics products. They not only provide long-lasting color but also deliver nourishment, hydration, and protection to the skin. Incorporating ingredients such as Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiatica, Coconut Oil, and SPF not only helps to enhance our natural beauty but also prioritize the health and well being of our skin.

CERAMIDE
Is one of the top-trending ingredients that promotes a healthy skin barrier. Naturally, Ceramide is found in our skin cells in form of fats or lipids to retain skin moisture, however, it’s depleted as we age and get exposed to various skin aggressors causing dry and damaged skin. Using Ceramide-infused products helps lock in moisture and protect skin from pollution and irritants for a healthy-looking and supple appearance.

CENTELLA ASIATICA
Also known as Gotu Kola, tiger grass, or CICA is a multitasking skin-hydrator and antioxidant which helps calm troubled skin, enhance skin barrier function, and protect skin from aging.

These two ingredients are present in the recently launched Cloud Touch Complexion Series which is inspired by Korean Beauty trend on “natural look or no-makeup look”, that is perfect for that youthful and fresh everyday look.

 

 

Y.O.U Beauty Cloud Touch Correcting Concealer Palette

Multi-functional cream concealer

Y.O.U Beauty Cloud Touch Correcting Concealer Palette, is a multi-functional cream concealer which provides two shades of color corrector and two shades of concealer that gives medium to buildable coverage to correct skin’s uneven skin tone while giving it’s much needed nourishment and hydration.

COCONUT OIL
Is a natural ingredient that is known for its moisturizing and antimicrobial properties.

This is the main ingredient of Y.O.U Beauty Gentle Clean! Deep Cleansing Balm which gently dissolves makeup without stripping off your skin’s natural moisture. It contains 8 nourishing ingredients that is suitable for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin.

HYALURONIC ACID
This potent hydrator offers impressive skin benefits as it can retain 1,000 times weight in water that can hold moisture in the skin and prevents it from evaporating off the skin surface. Gentle and fast-absorbing, it gives long-lasting hydration for that firmer and plumper skin.

Y.O.U Beauty Simplicity Icy Glow Lip Serum

 

I also tried the Dazzle Me Juicy Punch Lip Tint which retails for only Php 139 and so far, together with the Lip Serum, these two are my favorite lippy combo. I apply the Juicy Punch Lip Tint in Apple-Solute, then let it sit for a few seconds then top it off of the Wonderfullip Serum. It gives a really pretty juicy finish.

Overall I absolutely adore the lip products from Dazzle Me most especially these two. The Wonderfullip Serum and Juicy Punch Lip Tints. I appreciate that all their products are affordable and easily accessible at most Robinsons Department Stores nationwide. They also have official shops online in both Lazada and Shopee. 

Check out more of their products on all their social media accounts. 

Until next time!

Naghahanap ka ba ng mga small business ideas? Marahil ay naisip mo nang magbukas ng iyong sari-sari store, isa sa mga pinaka popular at patok na small business sa Pilipinas. O baka naman mas interisado ka na magbukas ng e-load business na talaga namang on the rise ngayon kahit saan.

If you’re torn between opening an e-load business and a sari-sari store, here are some of the things that you may want to consider.

1.    E-Load Business: Pagpasok sa Mundo ng Online Load Selling
Ano nga ba ang E-load business? Traditionally, an E-load business involves selling electronic load from telecommunication companies (Smart, Globe, atbp) to a user’s cellphone. Isa ito sa mga tanyag na small business ideas noong early 2000s.

Ngayon, malaki na rin ang pinagbago ng E-loading business scene. Hindi na lamang pang-text o pantawag ang maaari mong ibenta sa iyong mga customer. Nariyan na ang mga online credits sa mga e-wallet (Paymaya, Globe, ShopeePay), surfing and data load para sa mga on the go na customer, at pati na rin ang mga game credits.

2.    Bakit convenient ang E-load business?
The best part about E-load business is its low overhead and maintenance costs. Kailangan mo lamang ang iyong cellphone at load credits and you’re ready to go. Hindi naman maikakaila na halos lahat satin ay mayroong cellphone na capable na ng internet connection.

Hindi mo rin kailangan ng malaking physical space to start your E-load business. A simple tarpaulin or poster outside your house is enough to let your neighbors and potential customers know that you have an E-load business. 

3.    Sari-Sari Store: Tradisyonal na Negosyo sa Komunidad
Ang sari-sari store ang pinaka popular na small business sa Pilipinas. Hindi lang ito paraan para kumita, parte na rin ito ng kulturang Pilipino. Pero ano nga ba ang dahilan kung bakit sobrang sikat na small business idea ang isang sari-sari store?

Hindi ka mawawalan ng customers sa sari-sari store. Dahil basic needs and commodities ang iyong produkto, lagi kang magkakaroon ng common customers na talagang bibili at mangangailangan ng iyong mga paninda.

Ang puhunan sa pagsisimula ng isang sari-sari store can range anywhere from 5,000 Pesos to 10,000 Pesos, depende sa kung gaano kalaki ang gusto mong tindahan at kung gaano karaming stock ang gusto mong simulan.

4.    Bakit convenient ang sari-sari store?
Malaki ang safety net ng isang sari-sari store. The best part of having a sari-sari store is that it can double as your source of necessities. Kung mayroon mang produkto na hindi mabenta o hindi kasing patok sa ibang mga produkto, maaari niyo parin itong mapakinabangan sa bahay.

Hindi mo rin kailangan lumayo para magsimula ng sari-sari store. If you find a small corner or a window at your home that can be turned into a store, that is all you need for a physical space.

5.    E-load Business VS Sari-sari store: Alin ang Mas Bagay para sa'yo?
Nakadepende ang pagpapasiya kung gaano kalaki ang iyong puhunan. Tandaan na maaaring mas malaking puhunan ang kailanganin mo sa isang sari-sari store. Mayroon ring overhead costs sa isang sari-sari store, dahil kailangan mo mag-set up ng iyong tindahan, kasama na dito ang mga shelves at iba pang signages para sa iyong sari-sari store.

Ang e-load business ay mas safe at mas maliit ang kinakailangang puhunan, ngunit maaari ring mas maliit ang return of investment nito kumpara sa sari-sari store. Mas maganda ang e-load business kung hindi ito ang iyong primary source of income at gagawin mo lamang sideline or secondary source of income.

Until next time.

Cheerios!
