Great Beauty Finds for Under ₱100 (2012)

After last year's beauty finds, my sister and I felt it's time for a follow up entry. The items are still economical, easy to use, and effective. Here they are:

1. Glam Works Hair Luxe
This item has 4 variations: for Hair Fall Control, Color Treated Hair, Damaged Hair, and Intensive Care. The product comes in a hefty 650g container. I tried the one for damaged hair. You grab a handful of it and apply to previously shampooed hair. Cover with shower cap or steamer. Leave on for about 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. I like that it has a cool, menthol feel on the scalp. Also, you'll be left with soft, fragrant, and manageable hair. No instruction as to how often you can use it but I say twice a week is fine.

Price: ₱99
Uses: 25+
Shop at: Watson's Drug Store


2. St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
I've used it when I was in college but couldn't find one for a period of time. When I saw it again it has a new design but still in a 28g tube (there's a bigger size). You take a pea-size amount of the scrub and gently massage onto your moistened face. Rinse with water. You can use it as often as twice a day but I usually do it at night-time. It promises of mild exfoliation and I tell you, you'll have a silky, smooth feel of your face afterwards.

3. Nivea Essential Care
I occasionally find my lips cracked and dry so I always have this product at hand. This lip moisturizer has jojoba oil and shea butter that protects your lips from drying out. It comes in a 4.8g lip applicator. Use whenever you can or apply liberally before going to sleep. You'll wake up with the softest lips imaginable.

Now, don't you think that's value for your money? Until next time. Happy shopping! :)
