Shopping this week takes us to the beauty / health section...




I am not much of a vain person, but of course, I do pay attention to my hygiene. Usual things I get are:

• Tissues - I have the travel tissues as well as the wet tissues. Sometimes, I do get the feminine tissues, too.
• Baby Powder - I am ever loyal to J&J.
• Deodorant - I usually buy the ones that make skin lighter, as my skin tend to get dark rather easily.
• Shampoo and Conditioner - I have now switched to Pantene, because I noticed my hair fall lessened when I started using it.
• Toothpaste - We have always been a Colgate fan, but since the SM Supermarket doesn't stock up on Colgate anymore, we usually get Close Up instead.
• Soaps - The family uses Safeguard (white), but because I got a very bad tan line from my recent vacation in La Union, I am now using the Glutamax soap.
• Facial Wash - I use St. Ives apricot scrub and Pond's Pure White (activated carbon). It's not recommended to use the apricot scrub everyday, so I alternate these two products.
  

As for the cosmetics, I sometimes just wait for the free ones given by mom's balikbayan friends. If I consumed it all, then that's the time I buy my own - I don't have a particular brand, although I usually get those in old rose / brownish tones.

The family also stocks up on usual medicines and stuff - paracetamol, loperamide, alcohol, chili plaster, and band-aid.



One thing more I love to buy: nail polish. I only buy the ones in small bottles, and my favorite is the Mwah! Antonio Lavanderas. :)

ps - I didn't add lotion in the list, because I am currently using the Avon baby oil, which I won from a blog event.
