Hello, today I'm gonna be reviewing one of my April favorites which is Vanilla & Co.'s Witch Hazel Beauty Tonic! 

At first, I don't know exactly what I was supposed to do with this and also, I bought it from Zalora (from my previous haul) Let's look at the ingredients first, shall we?

Ingredients: Water, Witch Hazel Extract, Tea Tree Extract, Lemon Extract, Peppermint Extract, Vitamin C
  • Witch Hazel - Witch hazel is known for reducing the inflammation on a pimple, shrink bags under the eyes, treat dry skin, treat and soothe a nasty sunburn and other more. It has so much benefits for our skin that's why some people use witch hazel as their skincare regimen.
  • Tea Tree - Tea Tree Extract is used to treat acne, athlete's foost, eczema, various yeast infections and etc. It's also an antiseptic to be used on cuts and burns. 
  • Lemon - rich in alpha hydroxy acids that helps exfoliate the skin and get rid of dead skin cells. It's also a blackhead remover, skin brightener and sunburn reliever. Lemon is also used for whitening dark ares like underarm and knees.
  • Peppermint - it gives soothing effect on the skin by its cooling action.
  • Vitamin C - it is a powerful and effective antioxidant that protects our bodies from free radicals.

See those health benefits that this tonic gives? 

This is my first ever beauty tonic and it seems like I'm going to have my second beauty tonic from Vanilla & Co. I'm surprised how it's really helpful this beauty tonic is especially with this weather, it makes you feel like you should wash your face every hour! (Which is bad, of course) I was so glad I bought this.


* If you're going to spray the product on to your face, mist from an arm's length to face. Wipe excess. I usually let the excess product dry on my skin.

With this tonic's benefits, you can use it also as a toner. Just grab a cotton or cotton pad then spray around 2 or 3 times then wipe your face. I personally use this only as a mist because I already have a toner.


You don't have to worry on waiting for too long just to make it dry, if you're uncomfortable with the feeling then wipe it off with a cotton or cotton pad. For me, I just let the mist dry on my skin. Also, it dries absorbs quickly so don't fret.

Vanilla & Co. makes me want to purchase more of their product because of their affordable prices lol. I mean PhP 189.00 / 150 mL for this tonic?! Why the heck not? It's pretty affordable if you ask me. And it's 2-in-1. Mist and toner!

What I love about this product:
  • Simple packaging
  • Easy to use 
  • The ingredient's benefits! 
  • It's 2-in-1
  • Everytime my face feels sticky, I use this and it never fails to do its job
  • It hydrates your skin without feeling sticky (anymore!)

What I do not like about this product:
  • None! :)

Repurchase? Yes!! 

Recommend? Yes. I recommend this beauty tonic to those who want an affordable 2-in-1 mist and tonic. Also, for oily/acne-prone skin.

Once again, another product that works for my skin! 'till next time.

Since it's already May, it's time for me to post my April favorites! These past few weeks, I'm using so many different products for my skin and I never been this aware of my skin. Usually what I only do is slap myself with my sunflower oil from Human Nature then go to bed. Now, I'm using so many products and so far I'm glad that it worked for my skin.


Jadaaan~ My lurves of my life last April.

① CURE Natural Aqua Gel
  • Japan's No. 1 exfoliator "1 bottle SOLD every 12 seconds in Japan!" is now in the Philippines. CURE Natural Aqua Gel is known for being a famous exfoliator that removes 0.01 mm of dead skin and dirt while supporting the regeneration of the skin. Why CURE? CURE is the most gentle exfoliation for your skin. It doesn't have those beads that would rub on your skin. It's 90% Water (hydrogen water), preservative free, coloring free, mineral oil free and artificial fragrance free. It's safe to use for all skin types! What makes me buy CURE is the reviews that I read from blogs. I was supposed to buy this from an online shop but since I have no money, I went emo lol. Then, suddenly there was a CUREphil fanpage that I found and also Sample Room. I was super duper uber suprised that CURE is actually available now in Beauty Bar Philippines! Yaaaay! I was so excited that I withdrawed from my bank account and bought my own bottle. After using it, I noticed that my skin was brighter than ever! It seems like I'm gonna say goodbye to my dull skin, and hello bright and flawless skin! :)
  • If I were you, CURE is actually a good investment if you're looking for a good exfoliator. You'll never regret buying CURE! 

CELETEQUE Acne Clearing Facial Moisturizer Gel
  • I love how Celeteque has this Acne Clearing moisturizer gel. Why? First, I dislike rich and creamy moisturizers especially on a weather like this hot! I was so glad that I bought a gel type moisturizer that is not heavy when you apply on your face and at the same time contains ingredients that reduce sebum secretion that leads to acnes and blackheads. Say No! to rich and creamy moisturizers (for oily and acne prone skin) and say hello to Celeteque's Acne Solution Line Moisturizer Gel!
  • They have a skin analyzer where they recommend you products that is suited for your skin which is helpful if you do not know which product would you buy.

Vanilla & Co. Witch Hazel Beauty Tonic
  • It refreshes, hydrates and moisturizes my delicate skin despite the hot weather! What can I say with this product? It does it job and it's also 2-in-1! In short, it's used as a mist and also as a toner. I will write a review of this after this post. A very affordable mist that is natural and safe.

Venus &Mars Emu Radiance Cream
  • This product is my fave because I love using it as a moisturizer before my BB cream. Why? Because it DOES gives you this powder finish! It's pure, refined and light in texture. It's also contains my favorite ingredient which is Emu Oil. This product is also Hypo Allergenic  natural, organic and etc. Now, this cream is actually 3-in-1! Moisturizing day and night cream and primer that turns powdery. It's actually one of V&M must try (for me) because it really gives me this radiant glow. Anyway, I actually finished this tub and it took me I think 2-3 months.
