My Top 5 Picks On Belle De Jour 2019 Collection




 2019 is fast approaching and before we know it, it's a whole new year already. The good thing is, fortunately, most of us know how to prepare for new goals and experiences for the upcoming year. How? Simple, get your planners, jot down your resolutions and take note of all your schedules.

And the best thing is, as early as right now, you can start planning your 2019 by purchasing a planner from Belle De Jour's 2019 Collection. Last weekend, they released their 2019 collection in a very interactive two-day event that was totally worth going to. Now, their products are not limited to planners only but they also have a wide range of choices for designing and planning your goals to achieve the success you've always wanted.

On this article, however, I will only be featuring my top 5 favorites on their collection. To be honest, I've looked into everything they have to offer and I loved them all. (P.S. If you're like me who tends to hoard on notebooks, artsy pens, stickers and the like then you're going to L O V E their products.)



1. Belle De Jour 2019 Classic Planner

My first favorite isn't a surprise since this is one of their power planners and the one that I will be using for 2019. Their power planners come in three variations - Classic planner, limited edition, leather and discbound. If you don't prefer the feminine design of this one then you can opt to choose the leather or discbound. Personally, I'm in love with my Classic Planner because of its feminine design which truly matches my personality.

It's priced at Php 598 - a bit pricey for a planner. BUT, totally worth it. This planner comes with a separate booklet of discount coupons on Parisian, Mcdonald's, Browhaus, Revlon, Coffee Bean and many, many more. Just rip the coupons and you're good to go with their partner brands. Another thing that stood out was their menstrual tracker (for us ladies). I love how I can use this planner in various ways. Instead of looking at my app to track my period, I can do it with this planner instead.
The next best thing is the design - very cute and feminine. Perfect for every kikay girls out there! The month dividers on this planner is also interactive that it can get you inspired every month. Last but not the least, can you see several dividers provided? Two string bookmarks and a magnet fox designed bookmark which makes it easier to take note of important things you need to remember.

2. The Navi 2019 Planner

The first thing that caught my eye on this planner was the design. It's minimal but at the same time it's perfect for the overall theme which is "Travel". This is a unisex planner so all our traveler friends can enjoy sporting this one.

Just like the classic planner, this also comes with a small coupon book (although less coupons than before ) which features almost the same brands that the previous has. This is also priced at Php 598. But with its design and coupon tracker, it's also worth it.
The travel checklists and every details about all you need to know about traveling makes this planner a necessity if you're going to be traveling a lot next year. The month dividers are also very informative with all the festivals they feature.

3. Essentials Notebook

Let's breathe out of planners for a while and head on to their notebook collection. I personally am a hoarder of notebooks even though I don't know what I'm going to write on it. Nevertheless, their essentials notebook are just that, essential. Not over exaggerating but the design is so classic and elegant that you will not regret carrying it everywhere you go.
The insides differ per color of the notebook - Black cover with blank inside, brown cover with dotted inside, and gray cover with grid inside pages. These notebooks are priced at Php 240 each.

4. 2019 Essentials Planner
Designed like the previous essentials notebook, this planner offers minimal design and portability. Priced at Php 380, it's affordable and simple - perfect for every age and gender. 


Their pages however is designed by weeks as seen on the picture above which lets you freely design each week.
5. Game Plan
Their Game Plan collection consists of four different variation - Create your own sparkle (pink), Go For it (purple), Be Fearless (Blue), and Conquer From Within (Green). This is an undated planner which is good for 3 months of use. 
I love how this acts like a workshop for "planner beginners". Basically their Game Plan planners lets the user focus on their time management everyday with its hourly feature. If you are still deciding if it's worth buying a year-round planner then start with this one instead. After all, it's only priced at Php 180 each. 

So that's it.

The ones mentioned here are only five of their magical collection so if you want to check more then visit http://shop.ilovebdj.com. They're having a sale right now, too.

Aislestyle.co.uk: Your Online Shop for Magnificent Dresses


(Pictures from Aislestyle.co.uk)
 
It's always fun to shop for clothes in stores, especially dresses. There is just a certain level of extravagance when you see laces and thick fabric spiraling to a grandeur - designed for women. Moreover, dresses are so in right now because you'll never go wrong with wearing one in a fabulous event. (Of course, you have to stick to the theme) However, there are just times when there is too much going on and you can't go in stores physically which makes online shops more convenient. In addition, there are already models who tried the outfit for you so you can visualize it when it is worn. This saves quite a lot of time since you will not fit each of the dresses yourself.

Ladies, if you're looking for an online shop where you can buy beautiful, quality dresses then aislestyle is for you. www.aislestyle.co.uk is a haven for all kind of dresses. You choose what you want and then buy it from them. They ship to almost every country so it's really readily available from where you are. 

Their dresses have many varieties. If you look in their tabs you can see certain descriptions. (Ex. Sexy, princess, under 100 Euros and the like) This is really helpful in narrowing down your choices of appropriate dresses to wear in the occasion you will attend. Just to help you visualize the kinds of dresses they offer I will jot down a couple of their product below, you're welcome by the way. ;)


These kind of dresses should make you stand out but not too much because the occasion is still for the bride. However, just a little attention isn't so bad. I prefer simple and flowy dresses for a bridesmaid dress but it still depends on the theme.  

           1. Lace Bridesmaid Dresses

Lace has always been an elegant addition to a clothing design. As long as it's not overdone, it would be a perfect compliment to the simple flow of a dress - much like the one in the picture.


This is what it would look like if you're going to order the dress. I was surprised because they offer many color choices which will fit any theme.

           4. Long Bridesmaid Dresses

I've always loved wearing long dresses simply because when you walk it feels like your gliding and its a very beautiful feeling.




           3. Short Bridesmaid Dresses

As much as I prefer long dresses than short ones, there are others who are more comfortable in short ones. Moreover, it all depends on the theme, really.The good thing is the shop offers tons of designs and variations.




           4. Plus Size Bridesmaid Dresses

It's satisfying to see shops who offers wide range of sized not just the classic small to medium size.




 

      - Wedding Party Dresses - 

They not only have dresses for bridesmaid but also for others as well. We all know that weddings require a lot of guest and also assigned roles like flower girl, bridesmaid, etc.

For flower girls, you could go for this cute two-piece dress:

Meaning, hotel rooms should cater for the complete needs of the consumer - water, bed, soap, shampoo and such. Thus, what really completes the experience is the amenities offered by the company.

Rucy's Vanity Haul & First Impressions


Korean makeup is a booming trend nowadays. Thus, a lot of people, including me, love to try out cosmetics made from Korea since it's known for its quality and exquisite products. As such, Korean cosmetics are often priced more expensive than drug store makeup. When I heard about Rucy's Vanity PH - an affordable cosmetics brand here in the Philippines that produces Korean made high quality beauty products - I was ecstatic. They sent me their make-up products that can be used for a whole Korean make-up look.

This post will be my Rucy's Vanity Haul and first impressions since I plan to review all of these products in individual posts. The reason is that I feel like if I reviewed all of these in one post, it would be too long. Therefore, I will posts reviews on each product.

Here's the haul:

1.) Rucy's Vanity Two- Way Cake

- This is the two- way cake foundation of Rucy's Vanity priced at Php 250.00. The price can actually be patterned to drug store cosmetics here in the Philippines. It's a breath of fresh air, really, since it's hard to find affordable Korean cosmetics.


It only has two shades: Natural Beige (for fair skin), Dark Beige (for Morena). It's a little bit short on the variations and I'm hoping they release more options for this foundation. What I love about this is their packaging. It's very classy with its white overall color and a hint of pink. Once you open it, you can see the powder puff on top of a clear cap which reminds me of BB cushions. It's very innovative which is a plus for me.


2.) Rucy's Vanity Lip & Cheek Red

- This is their version of lip and cheek tint priced at Php 80.00 for 8ml. At first, I was disappointed because for the price, 8 ml seems so small. However, once I tried this, I changed my mind. It's very pigmented, I'm not even kidding. For a small dot, you can have rosy cheeks.


3.) Rucy's Vanity Waterproof Mascara

- Their waterproof mascara is very affordable priced at Php 180.00. It's in a very simple and sleek packaging. The cap twists smoothly. So far, I have no trouble with the packaging.


The mascara wand is very convenient with its thin bristles. This lets you apply the product smoothly without bumping to the skin around your eyes. Although, it does clump a little which can be fixed with a little bit of zigzag motion whilst applying. (This actually survived the sad moments of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo)


4.) Rucy's Vanity Waterproof Eyeliner

- Their eyeliner is smaller than the mascara and is priced at Php 160.00. I would have preferred it to be longer so its easier to apply. (Somehow my usual problem with eyeliners are how small their wands are)
 

I love how thin the tip is because it makes it easier to control. Plus, you can form subtle thin lines on your eyes which is great for your daily look and is perfect if your going for the Korean makeup look.


5.) Rucy's Vanity Auto Eyebrow Pencil

- Their eyebrow pencil comes in three colors: black, brown, and grey. This gives customers a wide range of options to choose from which I love. Plus, it has a very affordable price at Php 80.00. I liked the packaging simply because it's sturdy and smooth. Plus, simple elegance is a way to go.


Verdict:

I love Rucys Vanity because not only are they affordable but they also have high quality products. What more can a makeup lover want, right? My favorites (Yes, with an s because I'm like that) are the Cheek & Lip Red, Auto Eyebrow Pencil & Two- Way cake. I think these three stood out from the rest because they're exceptional with their pigment and smooth feel. Although I would have loved if the two-way cake had a dewy finish.

I hope you guys loved this haul! I would be writing a full review for each items by next week so wait for it.

Eumora Classic Facial Bar Review


Skin care products are very important in day to day activities. This is because we can buy everything we want but we only have one skin, therefore, its best to give it a huge amount of importance. This is why when I heard about Eumora Classic Facial Bar's product promises, I was ecstatic and immediately signed up for a sample bar to review.


Eumora Classic Bar is a facial soap which is equipped with tons of positive promises; Namely, lose acne, wrinkles, freckles, dull skin, black heads, dark circles, sagging skin and many more. All of these are made possible with their key ingredients:

Moor clay - A thick and black odor free clay which has a lot of herbs, organic compounds, trace elements, plants and floral natural extracts
HMA Microalgae factor -Hydro MicroAlgae Factor is a unique concentration of natural active ingredients, extracted from Micro Algae


 If effective, it's certainly a game changer in the beauty industry. It's priced for $150 (Php 7,642.2) for three bars and $40 (Php 1989.92) for one bar in Amazon. It's very expensive for a facial bar so I really hope that the results are worth the money. The product, on the other hand, is colored gray with a few black dots, it smells like clay which is okay for me. It makes me feel like I'm having a mud mask.

Directions for use:

1. One needs a Eumora bar with water.
2 Wet your hands. Rub the Eumora bar between your hands to create a thick lather. Do not add water directly on the bar itself.
3. Apply gently onto skin, leave on for 3 minutes.
4. Rinse of with water. 




The Eumora sample bar that was given to me was broken so it was a little difficult to rub between my hands. Although, a little piece is good for about a week and its still usable. With how I see the Eumora bar, I think that this sample can last up to a month. Before I tried this, I stopped my face cream every night so as to give way to the Eumora results. Through out my experience, I used this soap twice a day, before going to bed and when I wake up in the morning.

Results:


One week in, I haven't seen a huge amount of difference in my face. Although, I was really surprised to see my eye bags lighten a little. It was always my problem. For my acne problem, I still have them, I haven't really seen the difference in this area. However, my skin tightens whenever I wash my face just like if you're trying out a face mask. It also removes excess oil and is very moisturizing to the face.

Verdict:

I still can't decide if I like this soap, simply because my face doesn't show any huge differences yet. Rest assured, I will continue on using this soap for a month and see if it works for me. Also, we should remember that everyone have different skin types so what happened to me does not necessarily mean that it will also be the same for you. Although, I must say this soap is really expensive and I was hoping it will have fast results.
