BUY OR BYE: GLAMSKIN MANILA

With the keen and positive feedbacks from my readers, and a knack for creating reviews in reference to this series: 'Buy or bye' is back by popular demand. GlamSkin Manila, an up-and-coming local brand with the advocacy of making men and women glamorous through affordability, was munificent enough to send me some of their products for me to review. As per usual, before starting: the mandatory disclaimer follows — although this is sponsored, all opinions stated are based on candid experience and what works for me might not work for you, vise-versa.

From left to right:

KojicGlutaMansi soap with Baking Soda

The ever-subtle GlutaMansi soap with a twist of Gluta lived up to its assertive claims — lightens acne marks, reduces skin pigmentation and anti-body odor. Aside from that, after taking a bath it gives my skin fresh and coolness — within 2 weeks of use, I've used half the soap — whilst having the affordability. Hence, this soap is, indeed, a must-buy.

GlutaMansi soap with Baking Soda
In all honesty, this was sort of similar to the KojicGlutaMansi soap. Preferably, I wouldn't buy this in comparison to the stated soap above for it's the same minus the whitening. Soap, bye!

Fall Anti-Hairfall Shampoo Bar
I, frankly, don't experience hairfall most of the time; hence, the effectivity of this soap nulls in basis of my usage. However, considering the price and scent it's worth the try to buy.

SPF 50+++ Tinted Sunscreen

Although I know applying sunscreen is, indeed, one of the most significant steps in taking care of your skin, I still neglect to do so — most sunscreens I've used are heavy, oily and uncomfortable. However, with GlamSkin Manila's SPF 50+++ Tinted Sunscreen the game changed. I found affinity that it is lightweight, it easily adapts to most skin types and it has amazing formulation. With that said, I would recommend you to buy this (planning to re-purchase already)!

HD Lip and Cheek Tint: "Flirty"
If you personally know me, I use lip tints for my cheeks on the daily. In accordance to that, I was immensely excited to try this among all and it, truly, did not disappoint. From it's Strawberry scent to luscious thickness and blendable formulation, HD is an understatement for its name. Worth the buy and every cent — although, I did not bought it.

Oh My Glow Serum
Infused with Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin, upon application this serum works wonders — dries easily whilst leaving moisture and glow. Lo and behold, the secret to achieving 'glass skin' in the scent of an angel! It, definitely, is worth the buy.

Clay Blusher: "Drunk Babe"
I, truly, did not know what to expect about this product since 1. I don't know what a 'Clay Blusher' is, 2. I had a tough time opening it and 3. it is oddly matte. With my experience, the blush does not give much pigment upon my first three attempts of application; ergo, I prefer using a cheek tint. Bye, Drunk Babe.

Matte Tinted Lip Balm: "Mysterious Maiden"
I have never used a tinted lip balm ever; regardless, I still would use this. I have a proclivity of using this product on a diurnal basis since 1. although it is matte, it is not drying and 2. the shade looks natural, yet flattering. It, palpably, is a must-buy.
