Get a chance to win this month’s free item

When it comes to beauty products, I don’t normally use them. I am a “wash and go” kind of girl. But when I do need to put some makeup on, my kit consists of Nivea lip balm, Lipstick by Fanny Serrano, liquid foundation, some baby powder, and eyeliner pencil. I don’t know how to use blush or eyeshadow, so I never dared to buy those. I admire my friends who are able to use makeup well, and some of them have even elevated it to an art form. I know I should probably try to learn about it too… but my husband tells me he loves me sans makeup (maybe because I don’t know how to put it on, haha!), and appreciates how I can be ready to go out with him in a jiffy.

I also discovered early how uncooperative my skin could be. A little makeup makes my face react violently and break out, so I always wash it off immediately after the event I needed makeup for is over. And since I don’t want to spend lots of money in salons or dermatology clinics (confession: I’ve never had a “facial” in my life), I look for products I can use at home, preferably without interrupting or adding to my daily routine.

But hormonal changes during my first pregnancy changed my skin a lot. It didn’t bother me then, because I even thought they were cool, like battle scars. I had officially become a mother, and I had the evidence etched on my body. I could use it to advantage someday, in case I need to go guilt-trip some teenagers.

After I gave birth to my second child, though, I went through something much, much worse. It affected me physically and emotionally. So I asked around and searched plenty of stores, both physical and online, for some help — any help, that I could use discreetly and without too much fuss. That’s how I came across this month’s freebie. It was only with God’s help that I was able to cope with PUPPPS (with my sanity intact), but that story’s for another post.

For now, I’m just excited to share with you, dear readers, a product that was able to help me get rid of the scars left by the postpartum rash. Note: This is not a product review, and I am not being paid by the manufacturers to promote their product. I bought this with the intention of really giving it away, hopefully to someone who also needs it as much as I did.

This item is worth about P500 (plus shipping) because I got it on sale. Normally it costs around P900, but it is so worth it. I didn’t write a review anymore because you can just Google it and see for yourself how many people are raving about it, because it works. I pasted below most of the product’s information from their website:

And now, here’s how you can win this item for yourself or the woman in your life:

1. First, this raffle is for Philippine residents only, because I don’t want to be burdened with enormous shipping costs. The item is already with me (brand new, sealed and bubble-wrapped), and I can only offer free shipping within the Philippines. In the event someone outside the Philippines gets picked by the random raffle generator, I will have to ask for a Philippine address to ship the item to. So yes, the prize is transferrable, but not convertible to cash.
2. Click “Like” on this article, and share it with your friends via Facebook, Twitter, tumblr, and/or any other social networking site you use.
3. Answer this question in the comments section below: What is the one important thing for you to do, to take care of your own health? (One like/share + comment = 1 entry per person). Maximum of 3 entries per person.
4. The freebie will be raffled out on JULY 31, 2015.
5. The winner’s name will be posted on this blog the next day, so stay tuned!
