My 10 Favorite Bloggers to Follow

Personal 3:06 AM

Hallow readers! :)

I'm was supposed to publish one of my effective and favorite product today but I can't because I'm about to buy this product in our place and it's not available like in everywhere. And like damn what I'm gonna post this weekend, what can I share then I just realized, maybe it would be fun and new if I'm going to share with you guys my favorite fashion/personal bloggers.

Well, fashion bloggers are the ones I turn to when I need some help about styles and what's up for this month's/year trend. These bloggers expanded their cluster to the point that the blogs are no longer about fashion and what I like is they included more about their "self" like personal ones. They share tips from style to travel, beauty, food, fitness/health and even events, everything trendy which is very useful for anyone. So here we go, maybe we have the same favey here :)

1. Laureen Uy

She's one of the top fashion bloggers today here in Philippines. I love her because of her taste of style, it's edgy, chic, very experimental on her clothing and love adding spice into it like for example mixing gold and silver. She became my one stop when I need ideas for LBD and some creativity to my outfit. She became my inspiration not only for her style but also for being confident and aggressive about life, from being a fashion blogger to entrepreneur and actress that I think that's how Laureen bring excitement and courage to her readers, that don't be afraid to find your style but also to be that best that you can be to give inspiration and knowledge to others. Despite her success, she remained humble and she always connect to her followers everyday.

2. Camille Co

One of the most followed blogger is known her style for being versatile and adventurous but the feminine touch is always there. Her blog is the one I visit for Kikay thing like crop tops, bright and happy colors. I admire her style because even she put so much to her OOTDs she still manage to balanced everything. There are lots of flowy skirts and mid prints on her posts which I guess a key for being an It Girl. The first time I met her (Bloggers United) she's so nice and responsive you can ask her for fashion 101 really. Another thing that I like about her is, she being not afraid to conquer life and to take another step, that's why she's not only a fashion blogger and stylist but also a girls bff because she help girls to make their dream gowns come true (YES she is a designer too & her clothing line is Coexist. We can be whoever we want! Oh fyi she's also a dean's lister in her college days. Really an inspiration for young's).

3. Mae Tan

I know most of you don't know her, so let me tell you some basic of her and maybe become your fave too :), she's a 20 year old style influencer from Singapore and listed as one of the Rich Kid of Instagram- SG Version. The reason why I know her because while watching tv I accidentally turned the channel to M Countdown then I found out it's a travelogue titled Miss Korea: I'm Mae (you can watch on her blog or on Youtube) which is I really like because I'm a fan of that kind of tv shows eh the I decided to watch the whole season. I found it very useful for us future visitor and it is really entertaining to watch Mae, I like her being straight forward, witty, cute, fashionable and very energetic.. which is very natural of her. At very young age she also do some graphic design and opened a clothing store called 6BY6. The kind of style that inspired me is probably her boyish side of style, edgy but sexy, when she wear blacks and she's the kind of fashionista that her OOTDs depends on her mood too. The attitude that I admire her the most is being independent, she knows how to work hard and try new things to gain experience and able to share it with others. And I talked to her once! and she's very kind :)

4. Vern and Verniece Enciso

The Enciso sisters are epitome of a modern Barbie. The inspiration behind their eye catching style is Barbie, always Barbie and that makes them stand out from other local bloggers. Both love the touch of chic, elegant and fun style but might dissimilar in some point. Verniece is the one I look up for when it comes to youthful and fresh style because of her floppy hats, ribbons, pearls, big skirts and vibrant colors but not over the top outfit, she is more girly than her sister but on the other side Vern's style can be describe as structured and timeless. I see her more in structured blazers and jackets, prints on prints and more in pants. Their joint blog is not just a fashion blog but they also share and talk about their thoughts, relationships, tips, adventures and favorites which is another way to know them more, especially the fans.

5. Aisa Ipac

When it comes to posting OOTDs my number 5 fave blogger, I describe her style like a bipolar one because her style depends on her mood and weather but before anything else she loves vintage things but she can also go from casual glam to whimsical to now's trend and most of the time she mix vintage taste with modern pieces, hmm maybe I can call it a talent, not ordinary. Ate Aisa's blog is not a commonplace for readers. Her blog also shows random things and personal like being a celebrity stylist, online shop owner and co-founder of Bloggers United, also the food she eats, family and friends bondings, travels and events.

They say your style speaks for your self, yes it is. I know Ate Aisa but not that much (I will not narrate how hehe) and I met her and able to talk to her not only once but so many times, I always look for her everytime I attend Bloggers United why? 'cause I admire her not with her style, being focus and hardworking but her personalty too. She is so nice and humble really. Just like her flavor of style and fashion, her style is not about dressing up and exposing expensive brands the important is how you carry yourself and be an inspiration to others. Oh FYI she loves Thrift Shops ;)

6. Cheyser Pedrosa

Aside from her hair, sun-kissed skin and amazing personality her nonchalance style is what I love to her you don't know what she gonna wear today but she always go for comfortable and attractive. Fashion is like a playground for her she loves to play around then came up so stunning. She likes to dress up: street smart and comfy and not really extravagant chic. But for all of that what makes her different from other local bloggers is she introduce the Bohemian chic style. Expect aztec prints and boho bracelets, necklace and rings too because she really into. Boho/hipster side of her personality makes her stand out and you gonna love her on Instagram.

7. Dani Barretto

When it comes to looking cutie, edgy, girly and preppy but fit for your age Ms. Style is Eternal is what you are looking for, can't never go wrong with that and she also show us how to dress up in school and some sexy pieces for hangouts/events. Most of her posts flaunts her comfy, simple clothes and flats for her everyday where her readers are usually young teenagers to college girlies. She focuses chiefly on expressing the real you and don't be afraid what other will say to you, just be confiden. I meet her so many times, a little chit chat and she's the kind of person that makes time for her readers that's what I observed.

8. Aimee Song

I bet you never heard about this girl. Well, I accidentally catch her on my Instagram feed then I'm mentally pinned to her, everything she has on. To live or just planning a vacay in California, her blog gives you an idea what's you gonna expect in street of loving Cali. For an interior designer and blogger, yes successful in two career (yummy! such an inspiration maybe I can be an Auditor and blogger at the same time hehehe) her rhythm of style is a mash-up kind of style with an accent of California chic. Her flair in bringing on bold, edgy but laid back and polished outfits lifts her to grab the higher note of fashion.

9. Chloe Tan

Born and raised in Brunei and now lives in Melbourne, Australia. As she involve in finance field she also showcase her love in fashion and build Chloe's Addiction blog. Chloe's affection for fashion inspire her to try various styles in a dashing way. I like her because I can really depend to her style because we have the same body frame and it gives me an idea that I can also wear this kind of clothes. Dressing up everyday is a challenge for a lot of girls but for her its different. I think there isn't a style that she afraid of, from girly to street style, grungy to romantic and elegance then matched with statement accessories and a killer pair of heels.

10. Anastasia Siantar

And last but not the least she is the girl behind Brown Platform. Aside from her legs, skin, hair, makeup and charming figure, her killer and outlandish shoes collection in different colors and style is another thing that I adore, surething you too. Sense to choose and match how the way to be fashionable without getting costly. Like other bloggers she just love to experiment her outfit, no specific style at all.

Review: St. Ives Products

beauty 5:41 AM

Searching for perfect brand for your skin is pretty hard to do. Spending and trying products that can't satisfy you and get the needs of your skin is kinda tiring too. Now I found my long lost mate! Thanks to St. Ives. I've been using some of their products for 3 years until now. I love how effective and 100% natural moisturizers and exfoliants all of their products which is a great deal for everyone It is not tested on animals and does not contain any animal products which is good 'cause I'm animal lover.

And St. Ives is not hard to find. You can find them in Watsons, Beauty Bar and any groceries,which is very convenient and did i mention that their products is also affordable? Yes they are it'll save you money, perfect for your budget hehehe.

Aha! One of their popular product and I'm running out of this, the St. Ives Apricot Scrub: Blemish Control which is one of my favorite too and been using this for 3 years. I heard so much about this product that's why I decided to give it a try, way back then and yes got hooked.

Some used this for 2 or 3 days to exfoliate their skin but for me I used this everyday! but sometimes I feel dry "sometimes", idk hahaha its maybe because it satisfy me and suited for my skin needs. I'm wearing makeup everyday and it may stay to my pores thanks to Apricot scrub for helping me to clean deeply my pores and leaves my face smooth and soft. And also, I observed that it reduces the appearance of my blackheads in my nose area and it really dries my zits well that's my experience. It really work on me.

Scent: Yummy. So nice!

Formula: With scrub, its like massaging my face.

Price: P197

While searching for reviews and recommendation about the best moisturizer to use I saw St. Ives Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Moisturizer fyi this is my first time to use moisturizer so I immediately purchased this at Robinsons Supermarket to try it out 'cause I heard good stuff about this. I've been using this for almost 4-5 months now and I really like how easily absorb my skin the moisturizer that gives me a radiant and soft feeling every morning as I woke up and use this always as my base in my makeup routine (small amount only). It also helps me to balance the moisture of my face because I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub as my daily facial wash.

Scent: It has a scent. I can't explain but it's not weird and nothing too strong. I like it tho.
Formula: It depends on amount you applied.
Price: P239

When it comes to body lotion St. Ives Body Lotion is my top 2 choice. This is one of the basic and effective body lotion from normal skin to dry skin to sensitive skin. What I love about this brand, it's non-greasy, really fast absorbing as you read on the label and the smell it is so nice. The bottle is huge and got a pump for a decent price and last for 2 - 3 months, they don't have small one so it's not possible to be in our bags or purse always but what I did is I bought empty pump bottle at Watsons so I can have it anytime anywhere. So I got these two body lotion and let me tell you more about St. Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter and St. Ives Almond Oil Body Lotion.

I've been loyal to St. Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter because I like the combination of Oatmeal and Shea butter it really soften my skin and keep it hydrated. About the texture creamy and kinda thick but not greasy. As what they claim is instant non -irritating relief for dry and itchy skin and it is truly a relief and it eliminates the dryness in my skin so yes it is effective. Another thing I love about it is the smell so sweet, musky and the aroma of coconut something is also present.

This is my first time to try this product because I wanted to try something new and then I discovered this St. Ives Almond Oil Body Lotion it contains 100% natural moisturizers such as vegetable glycerine, almond oil and shea butter. I like how I feel refresh, smooth, moisturize after shower and smell like a floral but doesn't linger for long which is I think is good it doesn't interfere your perfume. The product is easy to apply, not that thick and absorbs quickly into your skin.

Price: both price P239.75

Its almost perfect and one thing that missing is SPF! Hahaha.

But the products are worth buying.

I hope this could help you.

Bye
