Health & Beauty

#TeamGellibean S02 E05

Because of what I do here on the blog, sometimes, #TeamGellibean gets to try out really fun products. 

A lot of the times, these products have to do with cooking and having fun in the kitchen.

Sometimes, these products have to do with health and beauty items that both my girlie girls love.

Like take for instance the ability to try some of these new products out from GlamourboxPH and Pixi by Petra.

This is what we received in our recent beauty package from Glamourbox:

  • Rose Cream Cleanser

    Pixi description: Gentle formula with Pink Clay and Chamomile Flower. Especially suitable for stressed and sensitive skin types or for use in between Glycolic Acid treatments. A nourishing and soothing daily cleanser for all skin types.

    My description: I have enjoyed using this creamy cleanser for the past three nights. It was in fact, creamy and nourishing and left my skin feeling moisturized and clean. I am not usually a fan of anything that is Rose scented, but this cleanser wasn’t overwhelmingly strong. So, it is something I would definitely continue to use.

  • Rose Tonic

    Pixi description: Soothing, alcohol-free, Rose Hydrosol based toner that hydrates and neutralizes skin from any reactivity after cleansing. It also normalizes hydration levels and gently removes any residual impurities to clarify the complexion.

    My description: I began using the tonic the same day I started using the cleanser. I actually, had two big painful pimples on my chin that I knew were going to be huge, and when I started using these two products, within one day they became smaller and less painful. 

  • Mesmerizing Mineral Palette

    Pixi description: This expertly curated mineral eyeshadow palette in a new colorway for Spring.

    My description: Gia is so much better at using this palette than me. When it comes to fun colors and cat eyes, Gia is usually my in-house make up artist that always makes sure I feel pretty when I leave the house. She did a fabulous job of teaching me how to layer these colors and try something new.

  • Glow-y Gossamer Duo Highlighter

    Pixi description: These silky Glow-y Gossamer Duos give the perfect highlight on the apples of cheeks or brow bones. Our natural mineral powder reflects light, applies true-to-colour, hydrates and feels light weight on the skin. Each duo features two shades to be worn alone or layered.

    My description: Who doesn’t need highlighter? I love this little palette. It fits in my purse and definitely fits the type of fresh make up look that I like to achieve on a daily basis.

  • Liquid Fairy Lights Shadow

    Pixi description: Add these glimmer toppers to bare skin for a flirty light catching effect, or apply on top of your favourite smoky eye to soften and enhance. The perfect add on to any beauty routine, smooth on with built in applicator and blend – they stay on and wont crease. Formulated with soothing cucumber and aloe vera. All the sparkle, with none of the fall out!

    My description: I haven’t used this yet! But hopefully, I will be able to replicate the look that Gia showed me using this liquid shadow. She said she loved it because the glitter did not fly nor get stuck in her eye. That’s definitely a benefit if you want to add a little extra oomph to your eye look without the dangers of fly away glitter!

Now-you guys know how much Gelli loves any kind of make up, and Gia is my personal in-house make up artist who does my make-up for my events when she can. Truly, it’s a beautiful thing to have a daughter who likes beautify-ing!!! 

Here are some of the things that I love about this brand:

  • This brand born out of Petra Strand’s desire to put a vibrant, fresh, look that is pulled together in 5 minutes. (aka Life of a Mom.)
  • Petra creates innovative formulations that are infused with botanicals & beneficial ingredients to treat your skin.
  • Products are paraben free AND are not tested on animals.

But don’t just take my word for it, check out these to beauties and Gia’s quick and fresh look that she put on before heading out to the movies with a friend.

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
