CLAIMS

A multi-benefit spray infused with real rose petals to hydrate and care for your complexion. Can be used to tone, moisturize, and prime skin prior to makeup application; softens, smoothens, and conditions skin with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties of rose water; removes excess oil and lifts away dirt and bacteria with witch hazel extract; energizes, revitalizes, and refreshes the face with peppermint essential oil. Perfect for normal, oily, and acne-prone skin.

I've tried a few products from Hello Gorgeous and it was a hit and miss. This time I will be reviewing one of their bestsellers--Rose Face Mist. I first got familiar with the brand because of Beautymnl and their products are always featured in the top picks category for local products. I ended up buying it in Lazada when they had a major sale. After almost emptying one bottle, here goes my review...

PACKAGING

HG packaging are very simple but so chic and fab, don't you think? The fonts and graphics are super cute that it's possibly one of those local brands who has the most aesthetically pleasing design of packaging. The nozzle dispenses product in high pressure so the droplets are released in fine mist rather than spurts. It also displays all necessary information like claims, ingredients, and directions for use as well as expiration and manufacturing dates. I've noticed that their mists have longer shelf life than regular skincare products which is good especially if you don't use mists often.

SCENT, TEXTURE AND EASE OF APPLICATION

Hello Gorgeous Rose Face Mist has a strong Rose scent that others may find off-putting. I don't mind since I am not very particular with natural scented products and rose scents calms my senses.

The formulation is very similar to water and is clear in color. It sets almost matte on clean, bare skin and a few more spray is needed to achieve a natural dewy, healthy-looking complexion. It feels lightweight and non-sticky. I don't have any problem with how it sets because it does not make my skin so oily on midday.

PERFORMANCE

This is indeed a multi-tasking product that I use as a first layer of hydration right after I cleanse my skin and as a first step in makeup. It does its job in hydrating and prepping the skin for better absorption of the product you're gonna apply next. I also try bringing it to work or when I go outdoor to freshen up--something we need in this hot and humid country. I just don't think it's a good setting spray though because I would prefer something that dispense finer mists that won't wash away makeup or make it move around.

Overall, this is a great facial mist that is very handy and convenient to use and is formulated only with natural ingredients that are proven to take care of the skin. What's even better is that it's priced at a reasonable amount so your wallet won't go bankrupt. :D

Let me know what you think of Hello Gorgeous Rose Face Mist! Happy blogging!

Do You Really Get Cashbacks From Shopping With Shopback?

WHAT SHOPBACK IS ALL ABOUT

Shopback is a cashback reward program available across Asia-Pacific with over 5 million members on its platform. It allows online shoppers to take a portion of their cash back when they make a purchase through the platform. They also provide discount coupons, voucher codes, and even comparison features for online shopping, travel booking and food delivery. It is currently partnered with over 1,300 brands from all over the world, including online giants Amazon, Booking.com, eBay, ASOS, Zalora, Woolworths Online, Lazada, Uber, Grab, Shopee, Tokopedia, Blibli.com and Alibaba.

SO IS SHOPBACK LEGIT?

Indeed. I was hesitant to try Shopback at first knowing that scamming is very rampant nowadays. Exploring the application later on, I then realized that there's nothing to lose and nothing at stake anyway. Since I do online shopping more than dropping by at the actual stores, I think earning a little something from it is a smart move. I am sharing this blog to you, as we all know that technology is a widespread idea and a lot of people spend their time doing transactions online. If you are like me who places orders through websites, I guarantee that you will enjoy having Shopback installed too, in your phone.

The app isn't hard to utilize if that's what you think. It's free and convenient in a way that every time you shop at your favorite e-commerce sites, all you have to do is open their websites via Shopback and you will automatically get cash rebates once you successfully did a purchase. Now, please be advised that it would normally takes months before they release the cashback. I think this is to ensure that the purchase doesn't include any fraudulent activities and is completely successful (meaning no cancellations/return/refund).

HERE'S HOW SHOPBACK WORKS

First, you have to download the application from the App Store. You can sign in with your Facebook account or sign up with just your regular e-mail.

Every time you are planning to shop online, make sure to open the partner merchants through Shopback's platform to ensure getting rebates for every purchase made. You'll get notifications within 72 hours about the status of the rebates earned. You can check all available balance by clicking on the profile button on the upper right hand corner of the screen (see photo above). You will be redirected to the page that gives you information about the exact balance that is withdraw-able. 

You can click on the 'Check Cashback History' to display available balance, pending earnings,  withdrawn cash as well as the points earned from the purchase made. Available balance (are the approved transactions), pending earnings (are the unconfirmed rebates) and withdrawn (successfully transferred money to your bank account).

When using Shopback, you have to be patient because it takes months before partner merchants and Shopback confirmed that there weren't any cancellations made. Yes, if you cancelled/returned any order placed through the platform, cashbacks shall be considered null and void. Only successful transactions will be honored.

Shopback requires a minimum amount of P200 available balance before a withdrawal can be made. Yes, it would take several purchases to reach 200-peso threshold. Upon accumulating that much amount for the first time, Shopback will reward you an extra P100.

Now that we reached the required threshold, we are now ready to withdraw the available balance as real money! How?

You can opt for cashouts through Paypal or bank transfer. When opting for bank transfer, you have to add a bank account and verify it through e-mail. Shopback supports several banks like BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Chinabank, East West, Globe Gcash, PNB, RCBC, Security Bank, Union bank and UCPB.

You just have to navigate to your e-mail and click the link to verify the new cashout method. I encounter error verifying the bank account through my phone so if it happens to you, use your desktop instead. I guess this feature is only available for desktop use.

Proceed to withdrawing the money and you may have to enter an OTP code sent to your registered phone. This is an additional verification step. Lastly, you may also have to verify your e-mail address by checking your mail again.

You will then receive another e-mail confirming the cashout request.

And that's it! You will receive a notification e-mail once money was successfully transferred to your preferred cashout method. You can also simply monitor your bank account to make sure it gets credited! I received the money after exactly 7 days! Other times, it would just take a business day or two.

Using Shopback is really a smarter way of shopping online, don't you think? They run promotions too from time to time wherein you could earn more by completing tasks. During sale season, there's usually an increase in the percentage of cashback that you could get, so you may want to watch out for that too.

If you have further inquiries, you may just drop it on the comment section and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Happy shopping!
