It's Buwan ng Wika! Mabuhay tayong lahat! For this week and the rest of the month as well, I'll feature a couple of blog posts that celebrate the Filipino. However, I can't write in straight Tagalog (I know, such a shame, but I'm working on it :( ). I don't want to make a fool out of myself so I will just write in the language that I'm comfortable in.
Yesterday, I was fixing my makeup stash and this has inspired today's Dear Readers query: What's your most favorite Pinoy Beauty Product?
Oh, did i just ask for one? Dang, this is hard. Why didn't I even ask for two or three? Haha. Anyway, let's just treat this as today's challenge.
*fingers tapping on the table
My most favorite Pinoy Beauty product, without a doubt, is Happy Skin Shut Up And Kiss Me Moisturizing Lippie. I've gotten more practical already and I rarely use lipsticks that hurt my lips nowadays. Happy Skin Shut Up And Kiss Me fits the bill. It's posh, very affordable, feels really nice on the lips, colors are classy and 99% wearable, absolutely non- drying, and colors fit Pinay skin tone really well. In fact, I find myself reaching for Happy Skin's cult lippie often than any of my lipsticks in my drawer.
Wishful Thinking: This Happy Skin product is so essential to me that I'm daydreaming of having a shade chosen by and named after me one day! :D
Your turn, guys. :)

ReplyDeleteOMG. I missed a lot of stuffs last month. My mom decided to take us in a 1 month vacation overseas without internet. She challenged us to live without all the techie thingy. And yesss, I missed reading and commenting to your posts Ms. Martha and being active in social medias as well. Wohoo!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, my favorite pinoy beauty product is the human heart nature day and night moisturizer. It suits my skin well, so effective and it's very organic. Oh! And it's pretty unexpensive too that's why I freakin' love it. 😀
I am also a big fan of happy skin's lippies :) I am so in love with honeymoon glow and I can't wait to try their matte collection

ReplyDeleteHuman Nature
ReplyDeleteOhhh this is a hard one! I had to check my stuff and I think my most favorite beauty product is Human Nature's sunflower oil. I don't know if it counts as a beauty product but I use it to take of my makeup, as my night moisturizer, for my underarms and as an eye cream! I also love Happy Skin's Shut Up and Kiss Me lipstick in Honeymoon Glow, my only Pinoy brand though does that count? It says it's made in Taiwan so I don't know if that's really Pinoy. I wish they'd make it here in the Philippines for it to be truly Pinoy. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post! :)
You can't go wrong with Human Nature Sunflower beauty oil, Zenutrients products, and Ilog Maria honeymilk lotion. They all smell so good. :)
ReplyDeleteIf Happy Skin would make a lippie named after you, which shade would it be close to? nude, pink, plum, red..? :p I'm curious :D
ReplyDeleteRed, a really bright red, ala Nars Dragon Girl. :)
DeleteEllana Minerals Loose powder foundation for me <3
ReplyDeleteI really love the new layout of your blog Ms. Martha! love Happy Skin lipsticks too :)
ReplyDeleteAgree! Happy Skin! And Ellana Minerals, Snoe, Human Nature are all nice too. I thought they are highend brands I haven't heard of. Turns out Pinoy brands pala! So proud! Even the quality is good. 💕
ReplyDeletea happy skin lippie named after you would be sooo COOL Ms. M! ehem attention happy skin! tbj readers are requesting! hear us pretty please?? :D :D
ReplyDeleteanyway, my fave product would be bench's charcoal pore/nose strips :D ang galing lang talaga!hehe. but actually, i have more than 1 fave products pero if frequency pagbabasihan, among my faves, this one is on top.
Challenge accepted: Mine is Human Heart Nature sunflower oil because of its 23-in-1 miracle worker for pimples, stretch marks, dull hair, sun burn, eye bags, insect bites, dark lips and more! what can i ask for more!
ReplyDelete... I think the only Filipino brand I have tried is Happy Skin for makeup and Ilog Maria for skincare. I like both though I reach out to Happy Skin more and the particular product I like is the Happy Skin Don't Get Mas Get Even foundation :D
ReplyDeleteI love happy skin lippies too!! Beside that F21 all day matte lipstick by FS is the best too. You gotta try it ms.martha especially the bronze, sushi and russet shade.You'll gonna love it!:)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Pinoy Beauty Product would be Human Heart Nature's Sunflower Beauty Oil. A really great all-around product. I use this before going to sleep and I wake up with soft smooth skin. I highly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteAng aking paboritong produktong pampaganda ay galing sa Human Nature, hindi lang mababa ang presyo nito mabisa na rin sa paggamit. Nasisisyahan rin ako sa mga advocacy ng kompanya ng Human Nature, hindi nila sinusubukang gamitin ang kanilang mga produkto sa mga hayop at natural at organik ang laman at pormula nila.
ReplyDeleteBottomline, I love Human Nature skin care products. I have been absolutely itching to try Happy Skin products but for a student such as myself they are out of my budget, although your post has inspired me to save up.
I have no valid reason for liking Human <3 Nature's baby lotion -- it just smells and feels like the after-bath snack times of my childhood.
ReplyDelete(I bet you started picking out a TBJ shade right when (or even before) you wrote that down, Ms Martha lol)
I only have one lip crayon from Happy Skin and although I love Hot Stuff so much, I'd have to go with Human Heart Nature just like the other beauties here. I have been in love with their Sunflower Beauty Oil since it has plenty of uses and did wonders on my skin too! They also have hair care, baby, even make up products that are all organic, I believe.
ReplyDeleteWe Filipinos can make quality products at an affordable price too. We just have to give it a shot. Not only do we save money, we also help our kababayans who get jobs from these home-grown brands/companies. Nice post Miss M! =)
Ilan sa mga paborito kong produktong gawang Pilipino ay Human Nature, Personal Collection, Moringa-O, Himalaya at Happy Skin. Nasubukan ko na ang ilan sa mga produkto nila at talaga namang sila ay maihahambing sa kalidad ng mga produktong banyaga. Ang aking panganay na babae ay mahilig gamitin ang Happy Skin Hot Stuff kapag ibig nyang gayahin si Mavis na isa sa mga pangunahing tauhan sa pelikulang Hotel Transylvania. Ginagamit din namin ang Argan Oil hair serum ng Moring-O at ito ay hindi malagkit sa buhok. Ilan sa mga produkto ng Human Nature na aming naibigan ay ang kanilang nga shampoo at sunflower oil.
ReplyDeleteOh.. Just one? Hhmm..
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between Ellana loose foundation and Happy Skin's Shut Up and Kiss Me lippies.. Both are great product but since i'm a lipstick lover, I think I'd go for Happy Skin!
One of my favorites would be the Moringa-O Hair Conditioner! I know it's not exactly makeup but I love how it actually works for my hair! My first rinse made all the difference when I noticed that my hair felt heavy. I also like Snoe for their unique packaging, even though I haven't tried the products myself. But branding wise, their packaging is such a head-turner!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing came to my mind is Ever Bilena. My very first make up kit has ever bilena products. But since I am earning now, would love to try other products such as Snoe, Ellana and Happy skin :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Skin without a doubt! I started with just buying the Eye Need a Miracle concealer, but now, my Happy Skin collection has definitely expanded. Their products never disappoint and is worth every penny :)
ReplyDeletemy would totally be Happy Skin! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in college, the lip stick trend was something dark, dark brown, burgundy, and matte to wear on your lips.I like Fashion 21 ( as my classmates recommended) in the darkest shade (I forgot the shade so sorry!) I can find. It's cheap , so it does not put a dent on your budget. Fashion 21 exists up to now.
ReplyDeleteI also love Happy Skin Shut Up and Kiss Me Lippies. All of them no doubt. haha. Ever since I've tried one, I'm wishing and saving up to buy all of the shades I want. Kahit yung mga lippies lang, next na yung eyeliners and all. :) If Happy Skin haven't arrived yet, my next choice would be Fanny Serrano products. Truly affordable yet amazing quality. :)
ReplyDeleteI like Ever bilenas lip&cheek tint. (ginaya ko lang kay Ellen Adarna! Lol!) I also like Ever Bilena's matte lipstick Toast of New York shade. For beauty regimens I use Ilog Maria they were the supplier of Sonyas Garden before ang alam ko ngaun Sonya is making her own na but almost the same lang as Ilog Maria. I really love the smell of their products!
ReplyDeleteNow my curiosity's piqued. Will try this soon. At aabangan ko yung mga posts nyo sa Tagalog. :))
ReplyDeleteHi ladies! Salamat sa inyong pagsagot. Nakakatuwa din na ginamit ninyo ang wikang Pilipino. Mabuhay tayo! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring local brands, Martha! My skin is very dry so I can't live without lotions, LOL. Among all the lotions I've tried, my most favorite is Human Nature Natural Healthy Lotion in Berry Bliss!!! :D It smells soooo good, non-greasy, and light. Not to mention 100% natural, and gawang Pinoy :) - Starr
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think of this post! :)
