Chapter 4: Dear Anne

Dear Anne, 

Oh how I wish you were here. Perhaps then, someone could finally describe the beauty that is Paris. But since you are not currently present, I shall do my best.

The city is always bustling, always changing and moving, you never see the same face twice. Hordes of people fill the streets daily to sell their various wares. They peddle items from trinkets and souvenirs to the finest jewels and silks. People are even selling food from their carts, just like they did in the streets of Trinidad. Every food you could imagine is available as you walk down the road. Cheeses, toasted chestnuts, fresh pastries, and (what I am sure would be your favorite) the most delicious chocolates. You would be in awe of the romantical culture.

Speaking of romantical, Notre Dame is as stunning as your imagination described it to be. I have included a postcard, but it doesn’t quite do the actual cathedral justice. The glass is stained to be the loveliest colors of the rainbow. And the bells, Anne, are perhaps one of the loveliest sounds I have heard in my twenty years. One day, I hope you will be able to lay your eyes upon its beauty.

I hope letter finds you well, Anne-girl. Give everyone my love.

Take care, 

Gil

———-

“Long time no see Carrots,” Gilbert said smirking. Anne, who had been rendered speechless, mouth sat agape. He chuckled, placing his bag on her nightstand and stepped toward his friend.

“Gil,” Anne whispered, finally finding her voice. “What are you…”  She slowly pushed herself up out of the chair, only to begin to stumble forward. Gilbert dashed to her side, grabbing her hand and arm in support. Anne let out a wry laugh. “Heavens above, I am such a…”

“Clutz,” they finished in unison. Their gazes immediately found one anothers, hands still interlocked, and smiled. A warm feeling began to rush over Gilbert, as it did almost every moment they were together, as he felt Anne’s soft skin against his own.  In the nine months since they had bid one another farewell, he worried that their friendship would begin to fade into the distance. That Anne would become just another childhood friend who would surely forget about the laughter they once shared. Yet standing there, being together once more, he could tell nothing had changed between the pair. He supposed that is what being kindred spirits was all about.

Anne let out a chesty cough, knocking the quilt off of her shoulders and ending the moment. Gilbert looked down at their interlocked hands and began to notice that the warmth he felt was different than the one he normally felt when he was around her. The heat was emitting from Anne’s body like an oven. He clenched his jaw. “Let’s get you to bed, Anne-girl, I imagine you’re tired.”

Surprisingly, Anne put up no arguments, leaving the quilt laying next to the chair as Gilbert led her over to her bed. He noticed she was leaning against him a fair amount, her muscles shaking with every step. She also appeared to have lost some weight, but he couldn’t tell for sure due to the flow of the nightgown. A blush creeped upon his cheeks as he caught himself staring at Anne’s lean body.

For Lord's sake, Gilbert, she is just another patient. Assess her as you would any other. He scolded himself as he pulled down her covers to allow her to crawl under them. 

“So,” Anne started as adjusted her pillows behind her to allow her to sit up. “You never answered. What are you doing here?”

“Are you serious?” he walked over to his bag and brought it to her bedside.

Anne rolled her eyes, giving a small, breathy laugh. “Oh, honestly, I am fine.” She cleared her throat and gently patted her chest as if something was stuck, “It’s just a little…” she hit her chest once more, only this time harder. “Cold,” her voice caught.

Gilbert chuckled. “Well, you had Bash so frightened that he practically ran to Charlottetown, so I suppose I had to come check if you were just wanting everyone to fuss over you or if you were just being…” He was interrupted by a series of coughs as they echoed through the room. “Dramatic.” he mumbled. Noticing a cup of steaming tea on her bedside, he handed it over to her, which she proceeded to take a large sip. She coughed once more, this time spitting the tea back into the cup. 

He quickly took the cup from her as she patted her chest. As he went to put it down, he glanced into it, noticing a streak of thick mucus laced with blood. He swallowed hard, sliding the cup away from her eye line. Anne shivered.

Gilbert looked over to the quilt on the ground and went to retrieve it. Upon picking it up, he realized  that it was the quilt Mary had made for him as a birthday present just months before her passing. Picking it up, he held it close to his heart. He had been unable to bring it to Paris with him, his trunk filled to the brim with medical texts and clothing. Before leaving, he brought it over to Anne, as she had always admired the craftsmanship and figured it would not go unloved in the months he would be separated from it.

“It kept me warm all throughout the winter,” Gilbert turned his attention towards the bed to see Anne staring back at him. “I suppose you’ll be wanting it back now,” Anne whispered, sadness creeping into her tone. 

Gilbert smirked, rubbing the soft fabric between his fingers, before he throwing the quilt over her lap. “No, you keep it for a little while longer. You can give it back to me when you are feeling better.” He flattened the quilt over top of her, tucking her in as he would Dellie, allowing just enough slack so when she lay flat it would go up to her chin. “Then, when you return it, we could have a picnic in the orchard like we used too. I have sorely missed your apple pie.”

“I suppose Winnie would be joining us as well,” Anne mumbled, barely audible. Gilbert stopped, hearing envy drip from every word. He dropped his hands to his side in frustration.

“I suppose she would,” he turned towards his bag, pulling out his stethoscope and a thermometer, “Perhaps Roy would like to join us as well.” It came out colder than he intended but any mention of a certain Royal Gardner made his blood boil. When he turned towards his friend, a blush had crept upon her cheeks and neck. Although he was confused as to why she was upset, from what Anne had written him, the pair loved one another enough that they rushed their courtship and were set to be married early next spring.

She broke from his gaze, suddenly thoroughly intrigued with a lavender patch on the quilt.“Yes, I suppose he would.” Her voice was small. Gilbert softened his gaze, he didn’t mean to upset her. He stepped towards the bed, pulling a chair up along with him.

Once there, Anne met his eyes. “May I sit?” She nodded, gaze not leaving his. He sat close to the bedside, pulling the stethoscope from around his neck.”If it is alright with you, I would just like to have a listen to your lungs.” She nodded once more as he positioned it properly in his ears. “Sit up please Anne and take deep breaths when I tell you.”

She did as she was told and Gilbert pressed the stethoscope firmly against her nightgown by her upper lungs. He should have asked her to take it off but he didn’t want to embarrass her, so he decided to just do a quick exam while opting to do a full when Doctor Ward arrived. “Alright Anne, deep breath for me.” Please, please be clear he prayed silently as she obliged.

He almost let out a cry of joy when her lungs contracted normally. Joy consumed him as he moved the end to the lower right lung, asking her to breathe in again. As she did, she let out a hoarse cough. The lung rattled slightly, but not enough to cause worry. He continued the process with the left lung, pausing when an unfamiliar noise rang through his ears. “Can you take another big deep breathe and let it out slowly?”

Anne peered at him from the slits of her eyes, exhaustion had begun to set in. “Gil, can it wait? I’m so tired.” 

“Anne, do it,” he didn’t mean to snap but he was trying to focus and didn’t need to argue with her at this very moment. Mustering every ounce of strength she could, she breathed in deeply, letting the air flow slowly through her lips. Gilbert’s throat tightened when her lungs sounded like a piece of paper being crumpled, ready to be thrown away. 

As she let out the last bit of air, she wheezed causing her lungs to rattle even harder. “Gil,” she coughed as he pulled his stethoscope out of his ears and wrapped it around his neck. He met her eyes once more. Her eyelids slowly blinked, fighting to stay awake for another moment. “Finished?’ she asked half-heartedly.

“Yeah Anne-girl,” he took a pillow out from behind her and helped her lay back, pulling the covers up to her chin. “I’ll do more in the morning when the doctor arrives in the morning. You get some rest.”

He began to pack up his bag, opting to leave it there until morning, when he felt a tug on his sleeve. “Gil?” Her voice was soft as she began to slip off into the land of dreams. “I’m glad you’re here.” The words came out as a breathy whisper, Gilbert barely able to hear it. He smiled softly as he fought off the urge to brush a stray curl behind her ear.

“Me too, Carrots, me too.”

———

As he made his way downstairs, Gilbert had to resist a smile as he was greeted by the sweet smell of Marilla Cuthbert's cooking. He looked on from the platform to see Marilla pouring stew into a large bowl, mumbling to herself. Bash sat next to the fire, playing with his daughters curls as she slept in his lap.

Bash looked over as Gilbert stepped off the platform and to the table. “How is she?” he whispered, not having any desire to wake the sleeping toddler.

“Asleep thankfully. Although, she does need a new cup.” He walked over to the sink, pouring out the contents of the teacup before Marilla could peer at its contents. She glanced up from the bowl she was pouring and met Gilbert's eyes, a million questions swimming behind them. 

“Does she have it? Is Anne going to…” Marilla’s voice caught before she could get out the final word. Gilbert reached up to his hair before remember it was firm and unmoving so he brought it to his neck, rubbing tension knots out gently.

“Marilla, I haven’t graduated yet, I’m not allowed to make an official diagnosis…”

“To hell with procedure Gilbert Blythe! You tell me right this moment: is my girl going to die?!” She snapped, throwing down the bowl of stew on the table, causing brown gravy to spill onto the table. Bash covered Dellies ears but she appeared to be unphased by the commotion, snoring lightly. The three of them stood silently. Regret filled Marilla’s features and she collapsed into the chair that stood before her. “Gilbert, I apologize...I don’t know what came over me.” Gilbert stepped towards her before pulling out the chair next to her and sitting, resting his hand gently on hers. 

“Marilla, it’s alright.” Tears had once again welled in the older womans tired eyes. A silent understanding passed between the pair as she placed her other hand on top of his. They were all exhausted with worry and anything said in anger would be null. Gilbert squeezed her hand. “So, while I can’t diagnose her fully, I can say that I don’t believe she has consumption. When I listened to the upper portion of her lungs, here,” he gestured towards his upper ribs to help give context to what he was explaining. “They were clear.” Marilla’s free hand shot up to her mouth as she let out a cry of joy. Bash smiled, sighing in relief. 

Gilbert wished he could share in their enthusiasm but after what he had just heard in her lower lungs gave him pause. “However,” he continued, their full attention immediately trained back to him. “Her lungs are making this crackling sound whenever she coughs or breathes and that worries me slightly.”

“What does that mean? Marilla questioned, her face paling.

“Well, rattling lungs paired with fever and headaches, along with a cough,” he cleared his throat. “It can usually indicate pneumonia.” Marilla bit her lip as she took in the information that was shared with her. Bash looked between the pair before he raised his hand slightly.

“What is pneumonia exactly?” he asked.

Gilbert squeezed Marilla’s hand once more, bringing her back to the conversation at hand. “Pneumonia is an infection within the lungs. There is no cure, yet, but it isn’t necessarily a…” Death sentence. He decided it best not to say it out loud, seeing as at the mere indication made Marilla lose all color in her face. The room became silent once more only to be interrupted by the sound of Gilbert’s stomach growling. Marilla smirked and slid the bowl of stew in front of him. He managed to get out a quick thank you before he began shovelling the flavorful stew into his mouth. 

He felt joy course through him as the stew crossed his lips, as it captured all the essences of home. Bash’s special spice mixture, the earthy taste and feel of the carrots and potatoes from Matthew’s former garden, and Marilla’s sweet broth that would bring grown men to tears. The only thing that would make the feeling better is if Anne was sitting at the table with him, scolding him for forgetting to eat again. 

Shoveling the last spoonful into his mouth, he dabbed the corners of his mouth with his napkin, realizing only now how much of a mess he made. Marilla and Bash stared at him, smiling. “Sorry,” placing his napkin next to his bowl. “I, uh, didn’t eat yet today.”

“Well that explains why you look so thin,” Marilla snatched the plate and proceeded to scoop it full once again. “Did they not feed you in Paris?”

“Oh, the food was wonderful.” If only I had eaten it more often. He hated to admit it, but while in Paris he would usually only eat once a day, sometimes not even that. Between the classes, lectures, activities Winnie had planned, and studying, most days he forgot to eat. It wouldn’t be until he would walk past a particularly fragrant patisserie that he would remember. 

Marilla looked concern as he placed the bowl in front of him. He tried to push it away. “Oh Marilla, I couldn’t.” 

“Gilbert, you may be a man now, but as long as you are under my roof,” she slid the bowl back towards him and shook his fork at him. “You listen to me. Eat.”

———

“You know, I had almost forgotten how formidable Marilla could be,” Gilbert said, as he adjusted his grip on Dellie. The little girl had woken up not long after he had finished his second bowl of stew, only opening her eyes just enough to reach for her uncle before drifting off in his arms. Her head lay on his shoulder as her arms draped across his shoulders. 

Bash chuckled. “The Cuthbert women are not to be trifled with, that’s for sure.” Gilbert smirked, adjusting Delphine once more. He was amazed at how much she has grown in such a short amount of time. It made him wonder how much else had changed, how much he had missed.

The pair walked in silence, both deep in thought. They were halfway home when Bash peered over to Gilbert. “Blythe?”

“Hmm?” He whispered, not wanting to stir Dellie.

“You think Anne is going to be alright?” Bash asked, matching Gilbert’s stride.

Gilbert sighed. “I believe so. The infection seems to be isolated in the lower portion of her lung, so as long as it doesn’t spread over the next few days, she should be fine.”

Bash nodded silently, as if to debate something. “And then you’ll be off at that point again I suppose?” Despite trying to hide it, a tint of resentment soured his tone, causing Gilbert to stop dead.

“Have I done something to offend you?” Gilbert asked, trying to keep his voice down. 

Bash stopped a few feet ahead and brought his hand to his neck with a sigh. “Let’s not do this tonight.” 

Gilbert tensed defensively. “No, if I have done something something to offend you, I want you to tell me.” 

Bash spun around, allowing Gilbert to see the exhaustion on his brothers face. He realized now that the man before him had probably had as an exhausting day as himself. “Gilbert, I am tired. You are exhausted. I don’t want to fight. It’s a talk for another day.”

Gilbert opened his mouth to respond, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to rest until this was discussed, when Dellie lifted her head off of his shoulder. “No yell.” She whispered, half asleep. 

Bash sighed once more as he stepped over to the pair and snatched Dellie from Gilbert’s arms. “No yelling, my sweet.” He kissed the top of her head then stared at Gilbert. “No yelling.”

————

Gilbert decided to let Bash and Dellie walk ahead, wanting to clear his head before he turned in for the evening. He held his lantern by his side as he strolled up to the house, admiring the comfort he instantly felt as he stepped through the fence that lay on their property line. Minus a single gas lamp lighting his bedroom, the house was dark. 

Bash must have already gone to bed...suppose we will talk in the morning. He shrugged lightly, trying to push the anxiety aside he had felt since Bash’s comment. 

He made his way towards the barn, peeking his head in to see that Bash had completely rebuilt the loft and stable doors. It looked incredible, better than any job that Gilbert could have done. Silently, he promised to help with whatever Bash needed over the next few days, as long as Anne’s health was improving. 

Turning towards his house, he saw a second lamp had been lit in Bash’s bedroom. He swallowed hard, knowing that a fight was going to ensue when he entered his home. But part of him wasn’t worried because much like his arguments with Anne, Bash and he never stayed upset with one another for long. the house, 

Entering through the threshold, nostalgia hit like a boulder. Nothing had changed within the house, every object in its rightful place, not even a kitchen chair out of place. Fresh apples sat in the center of the table, causing a sweet aroma to greet him, enticing him to grab one and take a large bite from it. Something about the taste of the fruit after dinner satisfied his sweet tooth that he never seemed to grow out of. He walked over to the stove, eyeing the cook book that Anne had beautifully created for Dellie. He gently stroked the cover and whispered, “Evening Mary.” 

A floorboard creaked behind him and Gilbert spun around to face Bash, whose tired eyes fighting to remain open. “You know,” Bash began, Gilbert sucked in a large breath, readying for whatever he was about to be told. “Mary loved you like a brother.”

Well, I wasn’t expecting that. Gilbert closed his fingers around the book, smiling down at it. “As I loved her. She was my sister.” He turned back to Bash expecting to see a returned smile, but the man was the most serious Gilbert had ever seen him. Gilbert’s smile fell. “What’s wrong?”

“Just don’t let her down Blythe.” Without waiting for his response, Bash turned on his heels and made his way towards his bedroom, shutting the door lightly behind to not wake his daughter. 

Don’t let her down? What does that mean? Gilbert wondered, putting the half eaten apple down on the table, staring into the dark hallway. He shrugged, deciding to put it off until morning. After the day he had today, he wasn’t sure how much more contemplation he could take. He grabbed a pitcher, filling it with water from the spout before he made his way down the hall. Before making his way into his room, he peeked in to check on Dellie, who was snoring happily while snuggling a rag doll. The corners of his mouth pulled, a soft smile forming.

<em>“Queen Anne, you didn’t need to bring anythin’ for Dellie,” Bash complained but in truth, he was smiling as Dellie cradled her new favorite possession. 

“Well Bash, every little one deserves something that is all their own, made especially for them.” Anne stroked the little girls cheek as giggles filled the room. Gilbert listened from the hallway, Anne unaware of his presence. He observed her closely, memorizing every detail of that moment, and wondered how someone who has had a tragic start in life, be so wonderful. He knew that the man who would one day call her wife, and the children, who would one day call her mama, would be the luckiest group of people in the world.

Anne looked up, meeting his eyes as she picked up Dellie, and smiled softly. Giving a soft wave, he prayed to whomever was listening that he would be able to be apart of her life then too.</em>

“Sweet dreams, Del,” he whispered, smiling as he shut the door gently. As he turned towards his room, he heard mumbled words coming from Bash’s room. Stepping closer, he debated one whether or not he would knock, almost bringing his free hand  to the door when he heard words that halted him.

“Oh Mary, you would know what to say to him,” Bash whispered to his deceased wife. Gilbert lowered his hand to his side as he continued to listen. “I’m worried about him. He has changed and he doesn’t even realize it.”

Gilbert bit his tongue, feeling anger stewing inside of him. Unable to listen to anymore, he stormed off to his room, closing it tightly behind him. He went to his dresser, pouring water into the wash basin and splashed the cool water in his face. I haven’t changed. Sure, I’ve matured, but I am still the same Gilbert John Blythe I was when I left.

He dried his face and caught his reflection in the mirror. Marilla wasn’t kidding. The last time he looked in the mirror, he was a boy, trying to be a man. His hair stringing over his eyes, his moss eyes full of wonder and courage. Now, with his slicked hair and fatigued eyes, he looked like a man of thirty rather than twenty. The pressed white shirt that Winifred had bought him in Paris made him look like he had come from a long line of land barons. Sighing, he leaned over the basin and began to pour water over his hair, slowly scrubbing the pomade away. After a few moments, he felt slick curls beginning to fall lose in his fingers. 

When he looked back into the mirror, he smiled, seeing some semblance of his former self. No matter how fancy his clothes were, no matter how he changed his appearance, deep in his soul, he was still the boy with big dreams and not a dime to his name. And if he wanted to make those dreams come true, he would do whatever it took. He would simply just have to adapt.

#GlowGurl: BEAUTY FAIR 2018 by CHALK.PH (and Haul?) [UPDATED 2020]

Posted: 3 September 2018 (Wordpress blog) Note: this is not beta-ed  |  Photo (top): Chalk.Ph facebook page, (bottom) Mine

~~~

This marks my very first beauty fair because to me, it’s only recently that I’ve gotten into makeup – fairly ‘recent’ at least two or two and a half years now. It was all the “mom pressure” my mom did with her constant banter of, “Ikaw lang ang kilala kong Fine Arts student na hindi marunong mag-makeup! (You are the only Fine Arts student that I know of who doesn’t know how to do makeup)” She always emphasizes the ‘Fine Arts student’ part whenever she would tell me off. To be honest, I think my mom regrets it at times because of the money part in the equation wherein I – more like my mom and I – spend buying products and tools to add to our collection.

~ Brief backstory ~

My forced interest in the makeup department started when I was in my 3rd Year in College and it started with my first mascara, I’d consider that late already since I studied in an all-girls high school and I kept seeing some of my classmates back then wearing the go-to cheek and lip tints and powder. One or maybe two of the factors that didn’t really peak my interest in makeup was because my mom kept telling me I was ‘too young’ to wear makeup (I was in high school) and that I have sensitive skin – sadly that part is true, these held everything back in at least trying new products. I couldn’t really do anything at that time since I was too scared to put what I considered “gunk” on my face. But that gradually changed throughout the years between my senior year in high school and my junior year in college.

Brief product review: The Calvin Klein mascara that was given to me enhanced my already long and curled lashes (Thank you, genes from the father’s side LOL) and it did the job quite well – from lasting a very long time and keeping my lashes volumized and curled all day long…but it wasn’t waterproof so that’s a bummer. But nonetheless, it was a good product that started off my interest.

From curling my lashes and wearing mascara, I went on to perfect the brow game for a good year and a half. And after ‘perfecting’ – still working on it – what people would consider ‘on-fleek’ or Instagram brows, I moved on to blending eyeshadows and after half a year moved on to doing full-face makeup. I watched and watched tutorials on YouTube and I would practice them on my face in front of my mirror as well as on someone else’s face.

~ End of the brief backstory ~

The Beauty Fair by Chalk.Ph was held in UP Town Center last August 18 and 19 (Saturday and Sunday), which gave me the chance to experience my first beauty fair. Our trip there was very short though and I didn’t get enough time to roam around and actually participate in their programs because I still had other things to attend to that day – we went there on Saturday and arrived at UPTC just before lunchtime and left just before 1 PM.

It kind of made me sad because I wanted to see all the beauty gurus and experts that Chalk.Ph had in store for the people who were coming – maybe even take a picture with them, if I’m not mistaken, Ms. Anne Clutz (better known as Mama Anne) was present and dropped by – and I wanted to participate in their talks that would eventually give me more advice, tips, and ideas on how to do my makeup, skincare, and etc. better.

Chalk.Ph also had a gimmick where the first 100 people who were coming would receive a goodie bag (the photo with the white eco bag), just present the receipts that you’ve bought from the brands/booths and/or products that were a part of their program. It was filled with food as well as other products like makeup, facial wash, hair products and even napkins/pantyliners.

Everyone was very nice and very welcoming that they were very engaging (good sales talk LOL) with their customers, I was tempted to even buy some eyeshadow palettes that I have been eyeing for a long time. But I only got to buy a few things because I still was saving money – I was a broke fresh grad looking for a job – to buy other makeup products that would be of a better deal since some came in bundles which are a steal than the ones I saw in the beauty fair booths.

PRODUCT REVIEW TIME!

1. ANNE CLUTZ BRUSHES A. Ultimate Beginner Brush Set [watch here] -  PHP 500.00 B. Eye Essentials Set [watch here] -  PHP 800.00

When doing a full face makeup without the right tools is quite hard, yes fingers can be used to blend but there are certain things that I prefer using a brush. So with it, I have been waiting and saving my money to buy the Anne Clutz Brushes – both the Ultimate Beginner Brush Set and the Eye Essentials set – which will ultimately be the very first complete brush collection I have on my vanity. These brush sets honestly surprised me because not only are they at a cheaper price than most sets out there, but there are of good quality!

I watched Ms. Anne introduce the brushes on her YouTube channel where she told all the details there is to know about the brushes, from the design to the type of bristles it has and all of that. But that didn’t solely cement my plan in buying those brushes. It was also her vlog videos where I got to witness her and her family, as well as the Anne Clutz Brushes team, do a quality control with each brush that is delivered to them from the manufacturer – seeing that convinced me that the brushes I plan on buying will be good.

And they are.

The brushes were not only aesthetically pleasing to me but the way they feel made it even better. The bristles of the brushes weren’t the type that would feel prickly on the skin, a pet peeve for me especially remembering the brushes the makeup artist used on my face when I got my graduation photo taken. It is not the type of brush na kinakaskas na yung mukha mo at kulang nalang mabalatan na, it was definitely soft!

The product pick up is also good and the blend-ability of the brushes are A+ that I wouldn’t need to go in for another dip or dab on my makeup products unless I needed to layer them on.

A little tip!

Have a container that is not as tall or taller than your shortest makeup brush because then you’ll have to dig through and ‘contaminate’ your other brushes, or you’ll be holding/getting your brush by the bristles which will dirty and ruin them faster.

A quick fix is to put pebbles/marbles, or in my case, old chubby stars I did back in high school for it to be more leveled higher than the lid if my brush holder. This will then let me hold them by the handle of the brush itself.

2. SUNKISSED ORGANIC CLAY BLUSH - PHP 200.00

*This shade is perf for the tisay-naarawan-lang look*

Since everyone’s raving about this ‘dupe’ for the Luna Clay blush, that has apparently been ‘faked’ (not sure if you knew about the hearsay of what happened but to make the story short, the online shop RMK ay naloko ng supplier with regards to the Luna Clay Blush so they had to hold and replace all products with this one instead.. that’s from what I read so far, but please still do your research because I haven’t been updated with what really did happen.).

I’m not sure what the brand is or if the brand name really is ‘Clay Blush’ but I have to mention that I was quite hesitant in trying this one because as I’ve mentioned in the backstory that my skin is considered sensitive. But I’m glad that despite the simple packaging, this product had the good sense of stating what the ingredients are in it.

Components:

Candellila Wax

VCO

Grapeseed oil

Iron Oxide

Shea Butter

That’s basically everything that is said on the back, like in plain text that’s just it – no design whatsoever, there are a lot of video reviews of this product on YouTube so go check that out too.

The product is like a deodorant stick but smaller, it’s small with an estimate of 3 1/4 inches from top to bottom of the product. But it packs a punch. By that, I mean it’s very VERY pigmented so I don’t just go swiping it across my cheeks because I wouldn’t look sun-kissed anymore – I would look like a tomato or someone who was having an allergic reaction from something because of how red my face turned out.

But if I were to directly put it on my face, I would do a dabbing motion that will be enough to put color on my cheeks na parang naarawan lang 😉 It smells like a scented candle, by the way, but it doesn’t really bother me as much.

Another tip!

If I accidentally put too much, I would not rub it off. I will lightly dust it with my pressed powder (that matches my skin color) which will not only settle the product on my face but will also mute down the intensity of the color.

UPDATED REVIEW (2020) I was not halfway the product when I started to notice little bumps on my skin, it basically clogged my pores (for your info, I am a combination oil and dry skin type). No matter how much I washed/exfoliated my face after using the product, I still ended up having those tiny bumps on my skin. I proven this because after taking a break from using it, my skin cleared but when I tried it again, they all returned the next day. Sadly, it was a no for me. But maybe it might work for others.

3. FACEMASKS A. Tomato Face Mask - PHP 25.00/ea B. Charcoal Face Mask - PHP 25.00/ea

Ever since I got interested in makeup, skincare suddenly became a priority in my life. And within my 3rd year in college, I was introduced to face masks! My first face mask was a Tony Moly Snail Face mask, a friend of mine told me to put it in the ref before putting it on my face so it felt much cooler. That also started my mom’s “addiction” to using face masks - she’ll keep asking me what were good face masks for certain problems a face would have like wrinkles, sagging, redness etc.

These Face Masks (Tomato and Charcoal) are also from the same booth/shop I bought the Sunkissed Clay blush. RMK is an online shop, they have a physical store in Pure Gold Libertad, where they have a lot of products that they sell and the reviews are really good. The face masks were more for my mom than me, each was worth 25 pesos so mom bought them immediately.

Tip!

When we use our face masks, we specifically use it AFTER our weekly Aztec Clay Mask session because it cools down our faces and settles the redness that came when using the clay mask.

~~~

That’s about it for my product reviews, but I’ll show you some of the freebies I got in the goodie bag that we got.

We got (LEFT TO RIGHT)

A hair lotion (I gave those to my sister) that oddly smells like a salon. It claims to define and hold curls longer. And my sister confirmed this to be a good product.

Sun gel & cleanser from Face Republic that I have yet to try

Liquid metallic lipsticks from Revlon that I gave to someone else because it wasn’t my type

Lipsticks from Skin Potion which has a sheer finish, they both have the same red shade.

A pantyliner/napkin that I will be giving to someone else

and lastly, a Facial exfoliating cleanser from CURE that I have yet to try out

And that’s basically it!
