Current Fave Review: Lucas' Papaw Ointment

Why you gotta be so gooooddd???

Oh! Am I too late to try this awesome product? I know it's been around the market for ages but just because I've got too many lip balms I'm always skeptical to try this one. Until. Until. Until this winter season when I had this worst dry lips ever, I couldn't apply lipstick because it gets too dry and flaky. I've tried a lot of lip balms, done regular lip scrubs and used my good old Vaseline petroleum jelly -  but none of them work. So I finally  decided to buy this Lucas' Papaw Ointment, after I bought it I applied it right away and told myself "Ok, let me see how good you are!". What an amazing product because on that same day I waved goodbye to my dry lips nightmare.


Now let me tell you more about this product. As you can read this product claims to be a local topical application for boils, burns, chafing, cuts, cracked skin, gravel rash, splinters, open wounds, insect bites and nappy rash.

PACKAGING

About 5 inches red squeeze tube container and weighs 25g. It has a cap to cover the mouth of the tube which makes it great to keep it away from unwanted foreign elements. It's not too big to include in your make up bag, won't spill or leak very handy to carry everywhere.


CONSISTENCY

Light thickness consistency with milky smell which I think is the smell of fermented papaya. It has the same texture of a petroleum jelly as it is base on pharmaceutical grade Petroleum. Contains a fresh fermented fruit and potassium sorbate. Looks quite yellowish but turns clear once applied.

APPLICATION

I used this product for my lips as this is where it is popular to use. One thin layer is enough to remove the dryness of your lips. It has a quick reaction cause in few minutes dry areas will feel soft and smooth. I used it daily after I brushed my teeth, before I apply my lipstick and it is also part of my night routine.

PRICE

It retails about 6 - 13 NZD, depends on where you buy it. It is available in any drugstore and skin care isle of groceries here in NZ. I got my one from my workplace pharmacy for NZD 10. It's very cheap for an awesome and effective product.

*My personal verdict is that it's really a great product for the lips because it has maintain my lips to have an even and smooth base for the application of my other lip products (specially the matte lipsticks). I love it and I will continue to use it as part of my daily routine.

How about you guys? What's your current fave lip product?

imfaaaye Life switch :)

It's been such a long time since I updated my blog. Since it's 2015 I decided that continuous blogging will be part of my new year's resolution, hopefully I can put up with it since I have tons of things to share and upcoming plans as well. For the meantime, as I welcome this new year, I created a photo and video collage about my life's highlights last year and my mini adventure on 2015's first week.

Sharing this random video I made for my blog comeback. I was inspired by the hashtag "Lifeswitch" that was going around on Instagram. This video features some highlights of my 2014 - starting from New year with family, getting engaged, my brother's comeback, marrying my bestfriend and starting adventures with my mini but growing family here in NZ - then the other parts are me and my husband being crazy in love and doing our compulsory 360 videos in each places we've been. It's pretty random and crazy life for me. But if not for that major switch I wouldn't be so blessed and happy!

Enjoy watching the video and hopefully you'll like it even though it's sooooo random.




Thank you so much for reading this blog and I will keep you posted for beauty blogs soon. Have a great day!

Little more of Faye

Welcome to my blog! Hello! Hello! I've been meaning to start blogging for ages. But due to my priority settings and "I'll start tomorrow" kind of attitude, it took me years to finally publish and create my own blog. Finally! Today, I have more time for this and I would love to introduce a little bit about me before I start to blog and discuss beauty, make up, fashion and the likes.


My name is Faye Cruz, I came from the beautiful country of the Philippines... yes, I'm a proud pure Filipina. A nurse by profession and currently undecided if I will change industry or not, kinda confuse girl. I've been very interested into beauty and fashion ever since I was 5, 6 or 7 years old? not sure though. I'm neither beauty expert nor fashionista, but I'm such a cray cray for both. 

Beauty and fashion is all over the place. It almost conquer the world, specially nowadays where there's a lot of beauty guru's, bloggers and fashion experts over the web. Beauty FAQ's, little DIY's, product reviews, make up tutorial and latest fashion guides are within the reach through internet - social network, blog sites, and youtube. I personally learned from these bunch of accessible sources but I do my own research as well.

I decided to jumped into blogger bandwagon to share my own amazing discoveries, interest, and  knowledge about beauty and fashion. Around family and friends, I always love sharing  my latest learned tips and tricks, how to's and product thoughts. They find it helpful and also interesting. It would be fun if I will be able to help my future readers and together hype about latest products and facts too!

To finish my not so long intro, here's a friendly reminder for all of you - "In times of beauty and fashion troubles, there's always Faye for you!" I will be your friendly superhero on beauty and fashion! Follow me, its FREE! Take care and stay pretty girls! xoxo

Love,
Faye
