Update: New-vember Is On Fire!
Update: New-vember Is On Fire!
So I’ve been keeping a secret… while at the same time dropping hints on Instagram recently. Today, I can finally spill the beans. But first, let’s take a trip down memory lane regardless of how cliche this is sounding. Thanks to Facebook, over five years ago, about the same time that I started this blog, I came across a company. I applied on one of their review opportunities, but sadly, I did not…

Lip plumping conclusion day is here. And I’m here to spill the beans and then some. It’s been a month since I started using PMD Beauty Kiss Lip Plumper and girls, it’s been a blast and no busted lip so far! I think that sounds like a win, right?
If you’re hoping to come out with Kylie-esque lips after using this device, then you might have to look somewhere else because I’m here to break the news: I’m grateful I didn’t end up with someone else’s lips but mine… just better.
Remembering to do the sesh every day was quite a challenge for me. There’s only so much beauty regime I can keep up with these days but no fret, IMHO, things ended on the upside.
Here’s the thing, the serum and the device go together like the best-tasting PBJ – one simply cannot go without the other. They complete each other, and that’s what makes this duo effective and efficient.
You can see two photos below taken a month ago before I knew all about Kiss Lip Plumper. The third one is after a month. The difference is subtle, but IT’S there. My upper lip especially and the slight difference around my cupid bow area.
Before Kiss Lip Plumper
After a month of using Kiss Lip Plumper – no other products applied
Below are photos just after a lip plumping treatment. The redness doesn’t hurt, by the way. It’s a combination of the serum’s ingredients and from being slowly ‘tug’ or ‘vac’ by the device.
Applying the serum
Just after using Kiss
How my lips looked after using Kiss with a lip balm
The photo above shows how the redness is no longer visible and this was within 15-20 minutes tops. My lips look much healthier! With the cold kicking in, I usually get chaffed and cracked lips, so far, NONE!
So, the question is: would I continue using it? OF COURSE.
As I’m getting older, taking care of my skin, and self-care, in general, has become one of my top priorities. This smart, anti-aging treatment by PMD Beauty is one of the ways to help me age gracefully and confidently. It’s also about making a choice.
Now, should YOU buy it?
It all comes down to what you want to achieve. Less to non-existent fine lines? Plumped and healthy-looking lips sans injections involved? Want instant result that lasts for a few hours? Then, it’s worth your investment.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for an overnight miracle worker to banish any signs of wrinkles, it might take some time or it may not. It’s hard to tell at this point, but I hope that this gives you an idea whether you should invest in this product or not today.
If you do, make sure to save 20% OFF using this code PRIMP20 here.
Kisses!!

LaFlore: Healthy Dose Of Good Bacteria For Your Face
I’ve faced (literally) so many skin care brands over the years, some I was impressed, others were meh, but never a mind-blown moment. Until now. Why? LaFlore happened. Three weeks ago, I cringed at the idea of cutting down my familiar 6-step routine down to three. However, as skincare runs through my veins and all over my epidermis, I decided to try LaFlore 3-step system anyway, a new probiotic…

Lips don’t lie, or was it hips? Sorry, I digress. Regardless, fuller lips had become a thing for as long as I can remember and reached its peak when Kylie Jenner entered the picture. Whether it’s for vanity’s sake or you want to revive your once youthful-looking lips, PMD Beauty Kiss Lip Plumper might be the answer you’ve been looking for. Keep reading.
With everyone trying to hack life, beauty, and skin care these days (and I applaud some of these hacks creativity), I’m all about safety as well. I’m talking about the whole suck-on-a-bottle hack to get plumper lips. Please don’t. Now before anything else, this is my first trying a lip plumper device, so I’m like fish out of water here.
Truthfully, I was hesitant and a bit skeptical in the beginning for many reasons. But after researching and looking more into this product, this could actually be a game changer for many who are coming face to face with lip wrinkles and would rather forgo the needles.
Use code: PRIMP20 to get 20% OFF of your order – Yasss!
PMD Beauty calls this the next generation of lip plumping with safety and performance being its top priority. The technology involves a patent-pending pulsating vacuum — yes, that’s correct. Along with PMD Kiss Smart Lip Plumping Serum packed with hyaluronic acid, fuller-looking lips are a few minutes of pulses away! With constant use, this lip plumper device + the serum will help boost your collagen production, which inevitably smoothes fine lines and lip wrinkles.
Comes in a bright pink and white design, PMD Beauty Kiss Lip Plumper is sturdy and compact so it won’t accumulate space if you’re on the go. You’ll find straightforward instructions on the packaging or online and it’s a one-touch button to operate. It’s not rocket science girls, and it’s pain-free.
Charging this should be a piece of cake as it’s with a USB charger. And if size matters to you, then you’ll love the two changeable Kissers (small & large rubber tips) included along with the 5 ml Smart Lip Plumping Serum. The device comes with a 1-year warranty.
When switching the Kiss Lip Plumper on for the first time, I had a bit of a freaked out moment. Mind you, it was around 10 pm and thought the sound would have woken up everyone. I’m nocturnal, in case you’re wondering, and my brain works better at night, apparently.
To get started, you need to make sure that your lips are clean and no other products but the serum provided. This way, you’ll get the most out of Kiss. There are two frequencies of pulses available depending on the volume you want to achieve. For minty lovers, the lip serum is quite a treat!
Before Kiss
After Kiss
So, curious to know what your lips feel like being vacuumed in sections? A little weird and entertaining! The just-bitten effect started kicking in after a few pulses. Redness and flushing were noticeable, as the serum contains an ingredient that increases circulation, but no burning sensation. It was a one of a kind experience, to say the least!
Know that phrase, your skin but better? This time, it’s your lips!
For long-term effects by the Kiss Lip Plumper, well, make sure to tune in because I’ll be back spilling the rest of the beans!

Why This Lip Plumper Got Us Talking Lips don't lie, or was it hips? Sorry, I digress. Regardless, fuller lips had become a thing for as long as I can remember and reached its peak when Kylie Jenner entered the picture.
Two reasons why I am ecstatic about today’s post: it’s fall-related and Suzanne Somers organic makeup with benefits!
So I’ve taken a break from my usual skincare discoveries to share this super simple, absolutely my go-to everyday look!
Before I started this blog, I had no idea about all the chemicals that were present in our products that we use daily. When I started paying attention and looking into ingredients more, it was shocking! The same reaction Suzanne Somers had after knowing how much lead she was ingesting from traditional lipsticks, or how much parabens were absorbed into her skin from expensive foundations. Chemicals that have already been banned in the food supply, but apparently still allowed in make-up.
So with this knowledge, Suzanne Somers created her extensive line of all natural cosmetics, skipping all the harsh chemicals! To get more acquainted with the brand’s collection, I chose makeup since I was hoping to come across a good foundation that won’t aggravate my easily irritated skin.
As I prefer my minimalistic makeup, I decided to get Sheer Flawless Foundation in Honey (Medium) to create my Fall-inspired look to welcome the new season!
I have enlarged pores and dry patches, so I made sure to prep my skin beforehand after my beauty routine, i.e., with a primer.
Before foundation (noticeable redness)
After Suzanne Somers Sheer Flawless Foundation
Sheer Flawless Foundation in Honey looked one shade darker than my current foundation but once blended in; it matched my skin tone and was able to tone down any redness.
I love that it has this therapeutic and soothing scent while it feels refreshing on my skin. It’s almost herb-like! Coverage is buildable and has a dewy-like finish, at least on me. If you prefer a matte finish, do check SUZANNE Organics Matte Finish Loose Powder in Honey!
Next, is camouflaging my life’s worries, also known as dark circles and fine lines. SUZANNE Organics Perfect Finish Concealer in Light-Medium is a creamy formula that applies smoothly and conceals like a queen. It might be the best concealer I’ve tried so far with hydrating and soothing effects. All thanks to shea butter, jojoba, lavender, and Vitamin E.
As I like a subtle flush for a daytime look, I picked up SUZANNE Natural Blushing Powder in Honey Glow. It’s a sheer light pink shade that at first, I wasn’t sure if it was going to work on my cheeks since I could barely see it. It wasn’t adhering as I’d hope it would so I had to add a few layers.
And when in doubt, just add glitter or SUZANNE CREAMY EYE SHADOW in Mother of Pearl. A universally-flattering mineral-based eyeshadow shimmer that, for this look, I used as a highlighter! In fact, I love using this on my cupid bow for added definition, too.
Last but not the least, life’s a peach! I’m talking about SUZANNE Organics Sheer Satin Lipstick in Caramelized Peach! The color payoff is beautiful, and it’s such a warm shade perfect for fall! Just a word of caution though makes sure you exfoliate your lips before application otherwise, you’ll end up with an uneven color distribution.
Like most of her products, this one smells great, too! You’ll probably see me wear this color often especially now that fall is officially here! In fact, I used this shade on my eyelids for that added warmth of color!
Creating this daytime look was such an adventure since I used mostly Suzanne Somers products. Not only that, it feels good knowing that you’re using beauty products with safe ingredients as well as skin care benefits!

Fall Daytime Makeup Look with Suzanne Somers Two reasons why I am ecstatic about today's post: it's fall-related and Suzanne Somers organic makeup…
You probably know this already, but the skin around the eyes tell the first signs of aging. I know, it sucks. While getting old is something I’m not afraid of, aging gracefully is definitely on top of my list. Thankfully, the future is bright due to the advancement of skin care over the years; there’s seem to be an answer for everything. Want an anti-aging device with superpowers? Look no further than SpectraLite EyeCare Pro!
Apart from enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and the occasional adult acne breakouts, one of my main skin concerns is fine lines and wrinkles (eek!) around the eye area. Long working hours and lack of sleep seem to be the norm when you work from home full-time and juggling the Mom life, which all contribute to how my skin behaves in the end.
So given the chance to try SpectraLite EyeCare Pro was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up, knowing this could help finally resolve my main skin woes.
Comes with a storage bag, head strap, and a universal USB charging cord.
The SpectraLite EyeCare Pro delivers proven light treatment at-home therapy to bring back your youthful-looking, well-rested eyes. The man behind this modern marvel is none other than Dr. Dennis Gross. You may have seen him on Dr. Oz’s TV show or Vogue magazine, a highly-acclaimed dermatologist with over two decades of work which started as a cancer researcher.
SpectraLite EyeCare Pro features 72 LEDs that are proven to promote the growth of collagen within the dermis of your skin. The more collagen in your skin, the less fine lines and wrinkles you have. Sounds good so far!
About to power on…
Three minutes a day. That’s all the time that you need. Unboxing was quite an experience as I took a closer look at the SpectraLite EyeCare Pro in my hand. I could swear I was looking at a cutting-edge fashion piece from the future as if someone carefully carved a Daft Punk helmet. This is much lighter than it looks and with the gel-covered insides, makes this device very comfortable to wear and fits universally. It is also FDA-cleared and comes from a company that PETA recognizes as cruelty-free.
To get the best out of this light therapy device, I make sure that my face is clean (no creams* whatsoever) before I start my 3-minute beauty treatment. It comes with a super handy automatic shut-off feature after the three-minute period just in case you happen to doze off. I like using this in the evening but have also used this in the morning, while I’m enjoying my cup of Joe before work.
Note: Avoid using any creams as they will block the light transmitted by the SpectraLite EyeCare Pro, reducing its effectiveness.
Once the minutes are up, I commence with my usual beauty regime starting with my eye cream or serum, a very important step after this light therapy treatment.
Finding a way to reduce wrinkles not involving needles (or surgery for that matter) sounds like the holy grail on my books. The SpectraLife EyeCare Pro works to motivate your body to do the work, bringing back your radiant skin from within. If there is one sentence that summarizes the SpectraLite EyeCare Pro, it comes from Dr. Dennis Gross himself and his philosophy of treating a woman’s skin. In his own words, “I restore the way you looked years ago. I don’t aim to change the way you look.”
In a world full of people who want to make your face appear like someone it’s not, it’s comforting to know that there is someone out there whose mission in life is to help you keep your unique beauty.
While it’s too early for me to tell of any significant cosmetic surface changes, I’m looking forward to seeing positive results in weeks to come. WATCH THIS SPACE!
Visit Sephora or check Dr. Dennis Gross website to get your own SpectraLite EyeCare Pro today and #WearTheLite.
This is an in-kind collaboration. All opinions are based on my experience with the light therapy treatment device.
Why I’ve Got My Eyes On SpectraLite EyeCare Pro You probably know this already, but the skin around the eyes tell the first signs of aging.

Some of the easiest things we forget to pack before a holiday weekend come from the one place we open up every single day: our medicine cabinet. From toothpaste to tweezers, we tend to forget our daily beauty basics and end up stuck on vacation with our essentials left at home. As a friendly reminder, here are a few products that should make it from your bathroom to your suitcase before you rush out the door for Labor Day weekend and one last weekend of summer fun!
JOHN FRIEDA® LUXURIOUS VOLUME® VOLUME REFRESH DRY SHAMPOO ($6.99, Exclusively at Ulta)
Extend the life of your favorite hairstyles with Volume Refresh Dry Shampoo while giving them that much-needed boost of body. Throw this in your weekend bag for on the go touch-ups throughout your trip to give it a refreshed, and clean look without all the hassle of having to re-do your hair.
COCOFLOSS Pure Strawberries ($8 for a single, $21 for three piece set, Available at Cocofloss.com and Sephora.com)
Your flossing experience will never be the same again with Cocofloss, thanks to their coconut-oil-infused floss made with a bright blue rope. And if their selection of delectable flavors (think Delicious Mint, Pure Strawberries, Pure Coconut, and Cara Cara Orange) don’t get you in a fun floss mood, you’ll love the fact that Cocofloss is vegan and eco-friendly, too!
Before you leave for the long weekend, remember to grab this tiny slice of paradise to help show off your best, photo ready smile.
CHRISTINE CHIN Herbal Blemish Gel ($35.00, Available at ChristineChin.com)
A fast-drying, invisible gel similar to the Herbal Blemish Gel by celebrity esthetician Christine Chin is a perfect way to diminish the look of blemishes and stops new ones from forming. This gel contains hydrating algae, pore-clearing salicylic acid and pore-purifying tea tree, sage, thyme, eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils which help in quickly and visibly clearing breakouts. This gel creates an invisible film to help “seal” blemish openings from makeup and pollutants.
AVON Anew Firming Sheet Mask with Royal Jelly Essence ($30.00, Available at Avon.com)
Avon’s ANEW Firming Sheet Mask is infused with Royal Jelly Essence, a sweet nectar, composed of water and precious ingredients well known for its firming benefits. In between beach and pool sessions, these masks are a great way to keep your skin moisturized and looking younger. This sheet mask is generously infused with serum and works as a quick and instant way to rapidly lift and tighten skin.
MARIO BADESCU Facial Spray With Aloe, Herb, and Rosewater ($7.00, Available at MarioBadescu.com and Ulta.com)
Gentle, hydrating, and smells amazing, this facial spray by Mario Badescu is a skin care staple. Use it to tone your skin after cleansing, set your makeup, and spray on your dry hair for a refreshing finish. Formulated with herbal extracts and rosewater, this keeps my skin fresh and hydrated throughout the day. I also love to mix this with my favorite facial oil (2 spritzes + 1 – 2 drops) to concoct my very own daily moisturizer.
TATCHA Aburatorigami Japanese Blotting Papers ( $12.00, Available at Tatcha.com and Sephora.com)
Perfect for all skin types, this is my all-time favorite blotting or beauty paper. If you love a bit of gold in your skin care, Tatcha’s beauty papers are made of 100% natural abaca leaf and gold flakes (because we deserve total luxury even when wiping the grease off our faces) to help absorb excess oil without smudging your makeup. You’ll also be pleased to know that it’s free from harsh chemicals, like parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, powder, mineral oil, and it’s cruelty-free. Now you know why I’m obsessed.
ERBORIAN CC Crème ($44, Available at Sephora, Sephora.com, and Erborian.com)
The coveted CC Crème from Erborian is a multi-purpose formula. Infused with ingredients that are good for your skin, it’s ultimately part of your skin care and makeup BFF for life. I’ve always thought of CC Creams as magic potions because they can instantly make my skin looks flawless. Erborian CC Creme is a “high definition” illuminator and overall multitasker because it works well for light to medium skin tones with encapsulated pigments that ‘burst’ on skin contact. It adapts to your skin tone (seeing it is like magic!), and with its tinted appeal, it will enhance your complexion plus SPF 25 to boot.
Don’t Forget These Beauty Essentials For Your Next Weekend Trip Some of the easiest things we forget to pack before a holiday weekend come from the one place we open up every single day: our medicine cabinet.
