The Glamourtini x Snoe Giveaway - CLOSED

When I first learned about Snoe through a magazine ad, I couldn't help but be curious. I mean, with all the amazing packaging and witty names, is the quality of their products as impressive? It wasn't until I attended their bloggers event last year that I finally got to know more about their products. I was very surprised when I found out the brand originated locally. They use only the finest ingredients, but still make sure they're very affordable! I even wrote a review of one of my favorites -- the Here Comes the Sunblock Sunscreen.

To celebrate my blog's second year and as a means to thank all of you for reading my blog, I decided to host a giveaway! This time, I'll be giving away, you guessed it, Snoe products! Read on to know the items you can win!

Festive

I was so delighted when I received a package from PersunMall containing this cute chiffon top. Ever since I saw it online, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! Who would've thought that lions, pink, and green would go so well together? It's such a statement on its own, don't you think? I decided to go a bit unconventional by pairing this top with an asymmetrical skort, and I'm so happy with the result! You should try mixing and matching random pieces of clothing too, who knows, you might come up with something really interesting! :)

Unbreakable

This is what I would wear on a casual day out -- a simple dress and flats. Recently, I find myself gravitating towards dresses like this which you can easily slip on and are comfortable enough to be worn the whole day. Find the styles that work for you, and stock up on them. They're totally worth the investment! :)

Black Out

Finally, an all-black outfit! I love the color black (as much as I love white), because it makes one look put together even without trying. Much like an all-white ensemble, an all-black outfit can give off a clean and polished look. Aside from that, black gives the illusion of a longer and slimmer silhouette. Who doesn't want that? :)

When the Wind Blows

One of the things I've been meaning to tell you guys is that I dyed my hair. Yep, I did it myself! I was quite surprised at how it turned out, actually. Amidst all the craziness at school, I didn't know how I found the time to buy a box of hair dye and wait for an hour or so after application, when I was supposed to be studying for a major exam! Whew! I was pretty satisfied with the result though. It looks very natural (except outdoors where the color looks extremely vibrant, especially under the sun) and even looks like my original hair color at night. You can check out my previous posts to see how it faired under the different lighting conditions. :)

P.S. The hair dye I used was Etude House in Mocha Pink. Comment if you've also tried the product. :)

A Different Side of Me

Whenever I browse the blogs of fashion bloggers, I always notice that they have such expressive faces and fierce poses that make their photos look like pages taken from fashion editorials. Almost all of the time though, they're not smiling. Apparently, it has been a trend for models in fashion magazines to always look serious (dramatic, alluring, fierce, etc) and let the outfit do the talking. I, for one, was influenced by this trend and tried to do the same thing, but then I realized that it's also great to show some emotion and smiles from time to time.

So instead of my usual serious poses, here are some photos of me smiling, messing around, and having fun!

LANEIGE Water Sleeping Pack_EX Review

(Image source: Google)

I've been hearing so many positive reviews about this product so I bought one and decided to see for myself. This product is designed to hydrate the skin and restore its bright complexion. It is used on the face once or twice a week (or more when your skin is particularly dry) before going to bed. The product comes with an instruction sheet (thankfully, there are instructions in English) and a spatula.

The sleeping pack is gel-based and alcohol-free so this might be safe for sensitive skin. Upon application, the gel feels very refreshing, and to make the experience even more relaxing, it comes with a mild scent. The product dries easily so you don't have to worry about it smearing your pillow. You'll immediately see the results upon waking up in the morning - softer, suppler, and brighter skin. I'm not sure about its long term effects though because I haven't been using it for that long. Also, it's a bit pricey compared to other mainstream Korean skincare brands so you might have to take that into consideration too. What do you think about this product? Leave a comment! :)

Would I repurchase? Probably. My skin isn't dry so I don't think this product is a necessity for me. I highly recommend this to those with dry skin though.

These are the directions for use according to the product's instruction sheet:

TCFS After School BB Foundation Lunchbox Review

(Image source: Google)

It's probably time to introduce all of you to my current favorite foundation, the Too Cool for School After School BB Foundation Lunchbox! It comes in two kinds and I'm using the one for watery skin (#2). Actually, this was one of the things Ryan bought for me in Korea. I have no idea how he got hold of such an amazing product! 

Among all the BB/Foundation products I've tried, this one provides the coverage best suited for my skin--not too light but not too heavy. It hides blemishes perfectly and lightens up the face, making the skin look flawless. There is a built-in spatula inside which can be useful for scooping out the product from the bottle. The texture is so thick that you only need to use a small amount at a time. I honestly think this is going to stay with me for the next few years since I don't wear makeup that often lol. Another great thing about this product is that it has SPF37 PA++, quite enough sun protection if you ask me (but note that you have to use a sunblock with a much higher SPF with frequent applications if you're planning to stay under the sun for a long time). Although it is bigger in size compared to other BB/foundation products, it can still be considered travel-friendly because it comes with a concealer and highlighter on its lid. Cool, right? :) The concealer has a creamy texture and hides my under eye circles pretty well (but then again, my under eye circles aren't that dark to begin with so I'm not so sure of its concealing ability). The highlighter is nice too since it gives off a natural glow.

Am I going to repurchase when it runs out? Definitely!
