“Early Christmas Shopping | 30 days 30 presents” | Day 11: Black Paint Soap (+mini review) #ad

Hello there my loves!

Nothing is better than a mini facial treatment at home on a Friday night, to celebrate your FRI-YAY! Believe it or not, today is the 11th day on our Early Christmas Shopping | 30 days 30 presents series. I’ve been working on this series everyday and I love it so much. It’s because I can share with you what I am really using in real life and the benefits of the products from my own experience.

Today’s gift is one of my beauty routine products. My favorite product I’ve discovered from the company’s called Black Paint.  

They have contacted me months and months ago and I totally forgot to do a review for them. I am being very honest with you here; all words in the review are from my opinion. They gave me a very tiny piece of the product to try. Man, that tiny soap lasted for 21 days. I love the results I got from it so I’ve been purchasing and using it since then.

I’m using it daily and it last for about 3 months. This Black Paint product is made with natural and organic materials which are blended from more than 100 types of plant oils and more than 50 types of essential oils, Kishu Bichotan. The company is originally from Japan but now the products are available in the US.

Here’s the link so you can learn more about the company.

So the black paint soap is a gentle pore cleansing, hand-made facial soap with White charcoal. It’s a combination of 23 types plant oils, silk, honey, and super-absorbent charcoal allowing the complete removal of both water-soluble and lipid-soluble materials, including cosmetics, excess skin oil and air pollution.

My thoughts on the cost of this soap are that it’s a very good soap but a little bit pricy. It’s $29 per bar but it’s last for a few months, which is not bad. When you calculate it, it’s about $10-$15 a month which is very reasonable for a face wash.

Who should we give this gift to?

  • Someone who has acne problems

  • Someone who loves organic and natural products

  • Someone who loves to treat themselves every day with a facial at home

  • Someone with a problem of not being able to finding the right face wash product

  • Someone that likes to try new products

  • Someone who only uses a normal bar of soap to wash their face

Mini Review:

First time I tried it, I had a burning feeling on my face. I almost stopped and just said forget about this product but the thing that kept me using it for 21 days was that I didn’t break out at all. I can feel my skin is getting softer and brighter. The good thing about this product is that not only is it all natural and organic but it also helps to clean off your makeup in one wash.

I tried washing my makeup off and it worked perfectly fine with a little bit longer of a massage and a longer scrub. Overall I love this soap, I have been using black paint everyday for about 6 months and now it is my new face-washing product. 

This soap is really something you should try by yourself.

I’m loving it and I know you will love it too!It will last for a couple of months and it really helps detoxing all the toxins that you’ve been collecting underneath your skin tissue.

I can’t say enough how much I love it, I just love it a lot!.

Thank you for stopping by today! See you again tomorrow my loves.

Have a wonderful weekend!

“Early Christmas Shopping | 30 days 30 presents” | Day 10: Desk/ Wall Clock

“Early Christmas Shopping | 30 days 30 presents” | Day 10: Desk/ Wall Clock

Why do we need something pretty on our desk? My answer is to keep us motivated enough to want to work more. I always have my eyes and heart for something shiny and gold and I found one last week at Target. So I think it will be a good idea to include it in our Early Christmas Shopping List today and I know you like everything pretty too, plus good price, who can say NO to that!

This accessory piece will go fabulously well on your desk, a bookshelf or even on the wall. The best part is that you can give it as a gift this year, which is not a bad idea.

This beautiful clock is only $9.99. In my opinion it looks so glamorous and should cost at least $30 and up. But a good-looking piece doesn’t have to come with a high price tag all the time. You just have to know where to find them and where to place them, so your piece can have a little more value added to them.

Who should you give this present to?

  • Someone who loves to decorate their space with something pretty.

  • Someone who loves black and gold.

  • Someone who needs to know what time it is.

  • You can give it to your friends as a joke piece; they will now have more time for you!

  • Give it to someone who loves to collect clocks.

  • Someone who’s fitted in your $10 budget for gifting.

Here are some similar clocks you can take a look at them too! They are all so pretty!

Wall Clock Marble with Brass 6″ – Threshold™

Noble Supply Co.™ Metal Desk Clock – Black/Gold

Wall Clock Silver 6″ – Threshold™

 

I hope you like what I showed you today. I can’t stop looking at it. Not to see what time it is but to see the beauty of this clock.

Thank you for stopping by today! I will see you again tomorrow my loves.

Have a wonderful time!

Every moment is precious to those who know the value of time.” – Unknown

“Early Christmas Shopping | 30 days 30 presents” | Day 9: Phone Case

“Early Christmas Shopping | 30 days 30 presents” | Day 9: Phone Case

Lately I’ve been so obsessed with marble, from laptop case, notebook cover, earrings, phone case, and many more stuff, my lists are still going. Anything to do with marble I’m pretty much in love with them all. It’s something to do with this type of stone that every time I look or feel it, I always feel calm and feel the clean energy rushing through my body. Not only that It also adds some sleekness to the fashion pieces too. I swear it looks so good in the pictures!

Today’s gift has nothing to do with the question I’m about to ask.

Have you ever heard about stone healing energy? 

Marble is a crystalline stone, used in tantric activities and to help with clarity during meditative states. It’s also been used for recalling your dreams. Sounds very interesting, right? It’s thought to help with serenity, mastery and actualization of ones thoughts. It is also used to help in accessing unused portions of the human brain. I think these are the reasons why people are now becoming so obsessed with Marble!

So today I would like to recommend you to give a phone case as a present.
What?? You just talked about Marble! What’s going on here?
All right, all right, the design of the phone case is marble.
Does that make you feel a little bit better?

I found this shop on Etsy.com. The shop name is Clique Boutique. I love their mission “to bring Beauty & Glam to all gadgets”. It sounds like what we all want. Here, you can get a custom made order case for your Apple products (Macbook , iPad and iPhone). Don’t you like when someone specially creates something just for you? I love it because that makes me feel so special. Not only that but all products here they are creating with love and care.

Nowadays most people have at least one cellphone on them, it’s now part of your body and you almost can’t live without it. The price of the cellphone isn’t cheap too, so you need to make sure your phone has some protection so you won’t break it. That’s why you will need to get a nice phone case. But no one really like one without a nice design though, I am one of them. I think phone cases are part of our fashion accessories, you will want to have a stylish one, it’s showing people your sense of style.

At Clique, all products are handmade in the U.S. You’ll have one-year accidental warranty coverage when purchasing the Platinum Edition like my phone case I got. 

Their phone cases are an Otterbox that can protect your phone from damaging. They have many designs for you to choose from.  You can learn more about the store at http://www.clique.boutique or visit their Etsy shop here.

Here’s the one I got, Platinum Edition Black Marble with Rose Gold Veins and Accents Hybrid Hard Case Otterbox Symmetry iPhone.

Let’s talk about who you should give this gift to.

  • Someone who has an Apple iPhone.

  • Both ladies or gentlemen.

  • Someone who loves to drop their phone on the floor and needs some extra protection for their phone.

  • Someone who is very special to you because the price of this cases are on the high side, ($89.99).

  • Someone who tends to buy new cases often. Here, you can update the design whenever you want! You can just send them the case back and they can remove the current design and replace for any other design you like on their shop for $19.99.

Here’s some good news my love, you can use coupon code “Clique10” to get 10% discount for as many times as you like, it won’t expire on you! 

More gifts to come in the next 21 days!

Thank you for the love and support, see you again tomorrow!

Enjoy your evening loves! 

Each day is a page in your fashion story.” – Unknown

“Early Christmas Shopping | 30 days 30 presents” | Day 8: Chanel-Inspired Bags under $50

“Early Christmas Shopping | 30 days 30 presents” | Day 8: Chanel-Inspired Bags under $50

I’ve always dreamed to own my very own Chanel bag. I think it has to do with how it looks, how popular this luxury brand is or maybe I just want to have it to be able to show off to everyone! Lol! Some people buy it as an investment piece because the price tends to go up and up each year, and you don’t loose a lot of money selling it in the future too. But for right now, lets save up and enjoy the good lookalike bags that cost you under$50 not $5K.  

I’ve purchased this Steve Madden Bfriend bag at Nordstrom Rack for $20 and I enjoy using it a lot. Too bad I can’t find the exact same bag anywhere online. You should go in store and maybe you will find it there. I did some research and I found some good looking bags for you to choose from. This gift will be perfect for someone who loves quilted bags and always dreams of getting Chanel. Just to give them a reminder piece of accessories to motivate them to save more money for their dream bag.

 

Here are a few similar bags I picked from Steve Madden for you.

STEVE MADDEN BCLARRE

 

and these are more lookalike bags under $50

I hope you’re enjoying today’s series.

I will be back tomorrow for more ideas.

See you again tomorrow my love!

“Early Christmas Shopping | 30 days 30 presents” | Day 7: Amore Pacific COLOR CONTROL CUSHION COMPACT (+Mini Review)

Happy Monday loves! 

After a bowl of double chocolate fudge ice cream last night, I feel a lot better working on today’s blog post. A lot of you have been asking me on how I go about writing my blog for 30 consecutive days. Oh, man! Believe me I had no idea how hard it would actually be until I wished I had 3 more hours in each day. I am now at day seven on this series and I am so grateful that you are coming back and reading my blog everyday. It’s really worth doing when you know someone is waiting for you! Even though no one actually waits for me! Lol!

The present I’ve picked for you today is one of my new favorite beauty products “COLOR CONTROL CUSHION COMPACT Broad Spectrum SPF 50+”. My sister got this for me from Korea. I’ve heard a lot of good reviews and wanted to try it for myself. After I tried for the first time, I really liked it and I feel confident recommending it to you, so you can either use by yourself or give it as a present this year.

The brand is called AMOREPACIFIC and it originated from Korea. They believe that beauty secrets are found in nature. Their main ingredients in all their products are Green Tea, Bamboo Sap and Red Ginseng. You can now buy their products in the US both online and in store like Nordstrom and Sephora.    

Who should you give this gift to?

  • Someone who loves makeup.

  • Someone who is crazy about Korean Beauty.

  • Someone who doesn’t mind trying a product that doesn’t give a Matte finish look.

  • Someone who hates putting too many layers of products on their face.

  • Someone who has dry and sensitive skin.

  • Someone who needs help with free radicals.

  • Someone who has blemishes or acne-prone skin and wants some coverage.

  • Someone who like a natural and cruelty free products.

Pros:

  • Doesn’t make your skin feel oily or sticky because of the hydrating Bamboo Sap Formula that replaces traditional water in oil base products for deep miniaturization

  • Hydrate your skin

  • Smells really good

  • Lightweight, doesn’t make your face look cakey.

  • Contains broad-spectrum SPF 50+

  • Comes with a refill

  • Comes in verities of shades unlike other cushion brands

Cons:

  • High price ($60)

  • No refill sold separately.

Details: AMOREPACIFIC Too faced | UD Gwen Stefani (Sold out)

I hope you’re getting some new ideas from my series so far.

I will be back tomorrow for more ideas.

Enjoy your Monday evening my loves.

Can’t wait to see you again tomorrow!
