BEAUTY BULLETIN: Fresh And Fabulous with The Body Shop, Mary Kay, pH Care, BCL, and Max Factor

Holidays are golden to me now because it means free time; free time to take mugshots of beauty products, test beauty products, and spend more time in the shower. Will be doing the latter tonight with these freshest makeup and skin care products from some of the best brands.

For their 40th anniversary, The Body Shop launches a blooming, pretty addition to their esteemed bath and body collection, British Rose. British Rose perfectly resonates the core of The Body Shop, which is embracing beauty and nature, and symbolizes their British spirit; in short, it's the perfect collection to celebrate their 40th year in beauty!

The rose extracts used in this collection were from the award- winning English farm at the countryside of Hereford, England where the fair trade Roses are organically grown; this farm is dedicated to the preservation of nature and biodiversity by housing and caring for small mammals and insects that create and support natural, healthy farming and turnover in nature, thereby eliminating the need for chemicals.

Upon harvesting, the essence of the roses are being extracted on-site, infused with fresh water from the mountains, and finally goes into every British Rose body care product; British Rose bath and body collection promises to give you fresh, petal- soft skin from some of the best Roses in nature.

Did you know that every time you shave, you take out at least 1/3 of your skin? Yikes! That explains why underarms can get irritated, red, and sensitive after shaving; it goes through a lot of stress in the process! Shaving will always be part and parcel of life, regardless if you're man or woman, but fear not the razor because Dove's deodorant will take care of your skin, post- shaving; the proprietary, time- tested formula of 1/4 moisturizing cream that's in every Dove product will immediately soothe, soften, and care for your underarms after shaving, and provide a lightening effect if used long term. To know more about Dove's entire deo range, just visit DOVE PHILIPPINES on Facebook.
