What’s Inside My Kikay Kit



Every girl has a Kikay Kit inside their bag. We are girls and we need this not only for vanity reason but also for hygienic purpose. So here are the junks I put inside my vanity bag.



1. Dr. Oil Solution pressed powder- I am using BB Cream as concealer/liquid foundation so I don’t need heavy foundation cake for my vanity kit. I bought this in Etude House.

2. Pigeon Compressed baby powder- I use this for minor retouch or if I am too lazy to put any make up on.

3. Peach Balm Frosted Blush-On- I love this blush on because it gives a quirky look on my freakish face. It’s not the ordinary blush because it is frosted and glittery. Also bought it in Etude House.

4. Proof 10 Aqua Tint- I love liquid lip/cheek tint. Aside from the 2in1 features, it gives natural looking blush and reddish lips. I am not really fond of heavy make-up except for super formal occasions. So lip and cheek tint rawks my everyday kikay kit. Also from Etude House.

5. Body Shop Borny Lippy Strawberry Lip Balm- mixture of my Aqua Tint and this makes my everyday make-up. Plus, I so love the sweet strawberry taste.

6. G-lish Lipgloss- wala lang… I like to carry extra gloss for certain calls. Biglaang lakad, etc.

7. Christian Dior Serum Derouge Lipstick- this is for I-don’t-feel-like-I-am-fabulous-so-I-need-to-give-extra-effort-in-my-make-up-day. Because this lipstick is in “puta” red color, I rarely use it. Just for certain situations that I feel like I need to put serious make-up on.

8. Christian Dior Mascara- do I need to explain why a girl needs mascara? Thank you….

9. Black Eye Liner- see reason number 7. Again, from Etude House

10. Cologne- of course, for every day smell… J

11. Blush On Brush- for my blush on of course

12. Oil Control Film- for oil blotting purposes

13. Toilet Freshener- I am always on the go and I am total toilet freak. So I need this stuff to you know, sanitize. J

14. Liquid Soap- like what I stated above, I am always on the go. So you’ll never know how much filth in my hands.

15. Mouthwash- before I don’t really use this, but after I pierced my tongue, I felt like I need to clean it every chance I got. J

16. Toothpaste and Toothbrush- I brush my teeth as often as I can. Whenever, wherever!

17. Medicine Kit- My sis often makes fun of me because I always carry a handful amount of different OTC drugs in my bag like paracetamol, pain relievers, for diarrhea, antihistamine, etc. She said I am like a walking drugstore. What can I say? Girl Scout ako… always ready!

18. Band Aid- see reasons above.

19. Rubber Band- for bad hair days

20. Tweezers- for I forgot to wax my eyebrows day

21. Ear Cleaner- wala lang… actually. It was given to me by Tina and I always carry it with me. J

22. Comb- because I am a girl

23. Breath mints- to keep my breath fresh… I usually use this after I smoke… J

My Skin Care Routine



In my search to find the perfect (and cheapest as much as possible) skin care for my ultra sensitive skin, I have to try different products to know what is best for me. I started out with using Nivea Sparkling White Collection. Everybody knows that I am obsessed with having a perfect white skin. So in my quest to find the correct skin products, it must have a strong whitening substance. So I could obtain my semi-freakish less dark skin tone.

To start the daily skin care routine, I wash my face with Christian Dior DiorSnow Sublissime Whitening Foam Cleanser. I know, this is very expensive but I easily get irritated with facial soaps. This is the only facial wash that does not give me allergies and itchy feeling.

Nivea Sparkling White Whitening Toner is the second step for my daily skin care routine. I have to clean my face using cotton balls to remove dirt and oil that aren’t washable by my facial wash. After washing off the dirt, next step is to moisturize. Since, I wanted a very strong effect; I used Day Care Moisturizer for both night and day. Day Care moisturizer has SPF and tough substances that lacks the night cream. And it is a lot cheaper. I use Nivea Sparkling White Day Care Moisturizer.

But after using Nivea Sparkling White Collection for more than 5 years, my skin got used to it and it stops from obtaining what I want. So I switch to Loreal White Perfect Collection. Again, I used its White Perfect Toner and its White Perfect Day Care Moisturizer.

But in addition to my daily regime, I also used Loreal Revitalift Aqua Milky Toner. It is use to firm your skin and prevents you from having wrinkle. I know, I am not that old for anti-wrinkle products but I read it from someone else’s blog (someone that I think has better experience than I) that you can never be too young for this. And it is actually a toner to prevent wrinkles, so I guess prevention is better than cure.

However, I’ve been quite obsessed with how Korean products are so available here in the Philippines. So when Etude House, the coolest Korean Make-Up line and Skin Care had its launched here in the Philippines, I never let it passed. I read a lot of good reviews about how amazing and affordable their products are.

Now I am using, Etude House O2 Whitening Toner to replace my Loreal Toner and Olay’s Natural White Moisturizer to replace my Loreal Moisturizer. And since, we lived in a very hot and sunny country, I felt like I need another level of SPF, so I am using Nivea Sun Refreshing Milk Whitening with SPF 30. As a regular office douchebag, I have to wear at least a little bit make-up to give color to my usual pale skin. I read about BB Creams and how it gives wonder to skins, so I included Etude House BB Magic Cream to my daily morning routine. I used it as my base before I apply foundation.

At night, I am using two kinds of toner because I felt like the city is all over my face. I am all around the city everyday all day, so I couldn’t imagine how filthy my pores are. As an addition to my O2 White Toner, I use Belo Essentials Pore Tightening Whitening Toner. I love the pore tightening feature because my pores are embarrassingly big than the usual. (lolz). In addition to my Olay moisturizer, I spread an efficient amount of Etude House Sleeping Pack on my face for pore tightening purpose because again, I have big pores.


It's been quite a struggle before I finally settle for these brands. It took a lot of money and wasted stuffs before I became satisfied. I actually skipped some of the products I used that wasn't good enough because it could probably take a lot of my time writing about it and you reading this.
