Tokyo Treat June 2026: Tokyo Throwback

 

Tokyo Treat's Box this month is filled with nostalgia with their Tokyo Throwback box. They are taking us back to retro Tokyo that reminds us of sweet memories, cool sounds and our childhood anime! It reminds me of film cameras, cassette tapes and neon lights.

Let's open the box and see what Tokyo Treat has to offer this month!

Goodbye, Blackheads?: Innisfree Blackout Balm Review

 

SEPTEMBER 4, 2020

I started using Innisfree Blackout Balm today in hopes of cleansing my pores. Having huge pores has always been a dilemma of mine and it can collect dirt that results to blackheads. I guess it's in my genes so it's annoyingly inevitable. Some seasons it isn't as bad for me and my pores are not as visible, but during the summer season oh man are they having the time of their life. Since it's hot, the pores tend to be more open and of course open pores mean they get to collect dust and dirt like a maniac.

So here's my review of this product:

A Solution for Pesky Dandruff Problems: Marks and Web Scalp Cleansing Gel and Scalp Balancing Gel Review

Before coming to Japan, I had my scalp checked by a dermatologist. I've always had dry scalp and a major problem with dandruff. I hate it. There were a lot of times when I wanted to wear black but I never did cause I'm scared of having dandruff fall on my shoulders making them too visible. It was embarrassing, but most of all uncomfortable. You always have that itchy feeling and when you try to scratch it, you just end up hurting yourself, like what you always do when you try to get back with your ex and end up hurting yourself all over again lol. Anyway, trying not to be side-tracked, I finally found a really good product to help me with my dandruff problem!

Ready for Halloween?

It seems like Japan is excited for Halloween as much as I am because I've been seeing Halloween Displays since the end of August. Who wouldn't be? I'm sure you are always reminded of candies and costumes when you hear the word Halloween. As for me, I'm mostly excited about the costumes. I cosplayed (costume playing) a lot back when I was in the Philippines. I just love dressing up and Halloween is a fun (and normal) time to be wearing a costume.

I've been really busy since moving here and I don't really have the time to make costumes or go out to buy them so I'm thankful to have found a website where I could order socks to go with my costume! Saves me less time to find one where I am.

Chrissy's Knee High Socks is having a Sale right now for the Halloween so why not head over and check them out now!

I've got a few very easy costume ideas for you guys as well. Check some of them in this list:

Althea Korea's New A'Bloom Collection Review

Althea Korea has officially launched their new A'Bloom Collection last month on all Althea sites. I was so excited about their new products because this is exactly what I need in this cold Japan weather. Everyone needs to take care of their skin you know?

Namu Life Snail White Facial Jelly Wash Review

Around the last quarter of 2018, I only cleansed my face using any color of Safeguard (a local anti-bacterial bath soap) and we all know it isn’t healthy for the face but I don’t know why I kept using it. LOL. Around October I decided to hunt for a proper facial wash and ended up at Watson’s. I was planning to get a Cetaphil cleanser when this beauty caught my eye. I’ve been hearing a lot of good reviews about Snail White and I wanted to try it for myself. It has been 3 months that I’ve been using it and here is my review. 

Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser Review

I have always wanted to have my own 10-step Korean beauty routine but who am I kidding, I don’t even have the time to finish 5. So I always go for products that are convenient with multiple benefits. I look for products that specialize with treating pores. I have naturally enlarged pores, they have been like that since I reached puberty, and they aren’t the ones that are caused by acne scars, I think it runs in the blood (since my dad also has them). I hate it, I’d do anything to minimize them and I think I found the right product for it. I received a Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser from Althea and I’ve been using it for a week now.

Titi Kamal x Althea: Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist

Althea did an exciting collaboration with Indonesia’s top movie star and singer Titi Kamal a produced Althea’s first body mist. Titi Kamal rose to prominence after securing a role I one of Indonesia’s best films from the 2000’s, Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? (What’s Up with Love?).

The Best Planner for 2019 – Limelight 365 Days of Awesome

In a few weeks this year is coming to an end and we all know what that means—FOOD—*cough* I mean we are approaching the year of the Earth Pig, which means a new year, a new set of resolutions NOT to follow and a new year to waste. Okay, I’m sorry, we should be optimistic here lol.

What better way to prepare for the New Year but to have your 2019 planner ready. Planners are essential to me because a lot of things happen and I go around a lot being a blogger and all, and I always want to plan them ahead by writing them down on my handy dandy planner. It took me a while to hunt for the perfect planner.

MISSHA Super Aqua Detoxifying Peeling Gel Review

An officemate who went to Korea this year came back with loads of K-Beauty Products. I happen to be looking for a good exfoliator that time and she was selling one of these. I am always in doubt with peeling products because I think they don’t really do a great job in peeling (and at times it doesn’t really 'peel' at all) but this one did an awesome job!

Althea x Get It Beauty Real Fresh Skin Detoxers Collaboration

If you are a fan of Korean Beauty Products like me, I’m sure you’ve heard of Althea. Who hasn’t? They are the leading source of K-Beauty Products we most love. And now, they collaborated with Get It Beauty—a popular Beauty TV Show in Korea for promoting one of their best sellers—the Real Fresh Skin Detoxers. 

Prima Sassy Belle: Prima Curvetrim Slimming Juice

For 8 years, my weight always stayed at 50 kg, that is until March of this year. I started to gain weight in just 7 months I’ve reached 58 kg. I don’t fit my old jeans anymore and those that I couldn’t wear because they were too big for me now fit me perfectly. I hated it. I don’t feel confident with my body now and wanted to get back my old weight. I didn’t know where to begin though, as I didn’t have time to exercise. Prima Sassy Belle sent me a package of one of their best sellers: Prima Curvetrime Slimming Juice and I gave it a try.

Prima Sassy Belle: Prima Perfume Penelope Review

I hate perfumes. It triggers my allergy at times because of the strong scent. I also find it irritating that I need to spray perfume from time to time because the smell wears off easily. That’s why Prima Perfume is definitely a good news for me.

I received a bottle of Prima Perfume in the scent of Penelope a week ago and I've been using it since. Penelope is Prima Sassy Belle’s own version of PF7-RM.

Careline Multi-Sticks: Strobe Stick Review

I have always wanted to be a glow girl—a fab lass who blinds people with her shining shimmering highlights. I have never been good with highlighting though, I find it too hard to do and it’s too extreme for my everyday drab. However, Careline, who had always provided us with that fab yet easy and affordable ‘pretty school girl look’ had up their game with the current trend and provided us with their multi-sticks, in which the strobe stick I tried today is included.

Affordable Eyebrow Pencil: Nature Republic By Flower Auto Eyebrow Review

“Kilay is life.”

Shaping and shading our eyebrows is probably the most essential step in getting ready for the day—at least  for us “kilay enthusiasts” (eyebrow enthusiasts). A lot of us are unable to go outside unless we have perfected and made sure our eyebrows are ‘on fleek’. We  would always want to use the best for our eyebrows, but with all the bills and other responsibilities our wallet carry, we want affordable yet best eyebrow pencils we can get. Nature Republic seemed to have heard our cries for eyebrow help and blessed us with their affordable yet high quality auto eyebrow pencil.

Jukaykay Antipolo: Staying trendy but price-friendly!

We are always in search of clothes that would look good on us but with reasonable prices. Jukaykay have always provided us with fashionable and trendy clothes but with prices we are sure to afford. Just last July 14, 2018 Jukaykay opened its doors to Antipoleños as they open their first ever branch in Antipolo.

REVIEW: Esme Organics Cold Wax

I'm sure I’m not the only one who dreads plucking/shaving/waxing unwanted body hair. I mean, who wouldn’t? It hurts and it’s such a drag. We need to do it as a often as needed for hygienic reasons (which I am totally for, but it’s just such a painful process ugh) and we want it as easy but precise as possible. So we always think of ways to get the job done, and I discovered waxing. Cold wax is a soft paste formulated to knife consistency. Unlike hot wax, there is no need to heat cold wax and is just used as it is. 

SIP STEEL STRAWS: #NoExcuseForSingleUse

Have you ever thought about where the plastic straw that you used and thrown somewhere might have ended up?

In our society where we are always in a hurry finish the day, we always want things instant and convenient. Rushing to get takeout food to save time? Put it in a plastic bag. Doing groceries? Carry them on a plastic bag. PLASTIC, the instant and convenient best friend for the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

We become oblivious of what “instant” and “convenient” may cause to our environment. They may end up somewhere and maybe STUCK ON A POOR ENDANGERED SPECIE OF A TURTLE’S NOSE. How would you feel if this plastic straw was yours?

Mercury Drug Planner 2018 | How to get one?

2018 has just begun and this is the time for us to plan our goals and aspirations. (LOL who am I kidding?) Anyway, I think I am ready to plan the year ahead because I finally have my own My Write Life 2018 planner from Mercury Drug Store!

It’s really hard to get one eversince it went viral and hacks about how to get one spread around the internet eventually leaving no stocks of this planner on Mercury Drug Stores. Fortunately, my Kuya’s girlfriend help me to get one! (Thank you!)

Since I saw this planner, I have always wanted to have one. Mercury Drug Store has their planners every year. If I remember correctly they have the generic red planner they have every year, but this year they decided to step up their game. And man, did they do the right decision.

REVIEW: Quick FX Pimple Eraser

This review has been in my pending folders for so long but I still decided to make a review on it. If you know me, I’m sure you might have noticed that I have a moderate case of acne. They weren’t noticeable on my pictures or videos since I put makeup on but without it, my face is covered with pimples. So I usually look for products that will help cure it.
