DIVIMART ~ Divisoria Prices in a Mall Setting

Welcome to DIVIMART!

This place is a real haven for budget shoppers, who doesn't have the heart to brave the terrible Manila traffic to shop in Divisoria. This is the place to shop, if you want to stretch your hard earned Pesos.
This mall seems to have everything at very low prices.
Groceries, school supplies, cosmetics and accessories, account for most of the First floor.



Cutie fashion accessories ~ perfect for your little divas (I am sure my niece's eyes will popped-out with the sight of all these pretty bows and hairclips) ~ priced at P40 and up.

Wallets and pouches made of canvas  ~ P80 and up per set.

Pretty character backpacks ~ starting at P240. 


Character loot bag set, nice for your child's next party ~ priced at P40 and up.


Or DIY with these goodie bags/drawstrings, priced at P20 and up.





These school supplies make good loot bag fillers.




These metallic balloons will complete your birthday party at P19 and up. 


School supplies ~



Housewares, appliances, toys and apparel is seen at the Second floor.


Food trays are priced at P120 and up a piece.  




Tents at only P900. 


Apparel section is only about 1/5th of the upstair's floor, but enough to choose from.



If you are shopping with kids, stay away from the toys' section.



I spent about 2-3 hours roving about and checking out all the merchandise.   They have so much stuff, packed inside DiviMart.   I was literally all over the place, but I didn't felt tired one bit.  I think it helped that the place was air-conditioned.

The only downside is the limited parking space.  Parking could be a problem if you are arriving late.

My favorite buys for the day:

 Pokémon Cap ~ P75each
Silicon ice tray ~ P45
Toothpick ~ P20





DiviMart is located behind the New Taytay Public Market; And is just a short walk from the Taytay Tiangge Market.

BELO BABY ~ Only the Best for Our Family


I am very careful in choosing health care products for my family.  I believe, it is my mommy-duty to ensure I provide them with only the best products.  And so I was excited learning about Belo's latest product line the "Belo Baby".  


Belo Baby is crafted with utmost care for those with delicate skin and I was really eager to try it out for myself having sensitive skin and all.  

THE BELO BABY PRODUCT LINES

Belo Baby Bar Soap (100g costs P79.75)


Rich in certified natural cocoa butter, shea butter and sweet almond oil to nourish and condition delicate skin. Absolutely FREE of SLS, sulfates, sodium tallowate, tetrasodium etidronate, EDTA parabens, phthalates, DEA, triclosan, synthetic preservatives, paraffin, petrochemicals and common allergens.


Belo Baby Face and Body Lotion

Belo Baby Cologne (100ml costs P79.75) 
 




BELO BABY'S GUARANTEE
  • 100% CERTIFIED ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS
  • NO HARMFUL INGREDIENTS

    Belo Baby Products were clinically proven gentle on the skin for everyday use. Ingredients used are certified natural, safe and gentle. Meaning ZERO harmful chemicals and ingredients. Belo Baby products main ingredients include:

    Cocoa Butter is an ingredient that contains antioxidant qualities that protect skin from the outside. It keeps the skin healthy by strengthening and deeply moisturizing it. With its anti-inflammatory properties, it also relieves common skin irritations like rashes.

    Shea Butter is a known superfood for the skin, as well as the hair. It heals, protects, nourishes, and moisturizes skin from damage and dryness. Because it is natural, gentle, and soft, it is suitable for all skin types especially the delicate and sensitive skin of babies. It naturally heals common skin conditions of babies like eczema and diaper rash.


    Sweet Almond Oil has the ability to lock moisture into the skin. It is also a good exfoliator to help remove dead skin cells and stimulate the development of healthier skin. It is generally safe for all skin types, including delicate baby skin.


If you are a meticulous mommy like me and The BELO BABY'S MOMBASSADORS: Patty Laurel - Filart Kelly Misa - Fernandez Nicole Fernandez - delos Angeles, then choose safer alternatives and steer clear from products with harmful chemicals and ingredients (often present in other products) like:

Tetrasodium EDTA

A preservative that's made from the known carcinogens formaldehyde and sodium cyanide. It is also a penetration enhancer, meaning it breaks down the skin's protective barrier, going right into the bloodstream.


Magnesium Sulfate

An ingredient that strips the skin of its natural oils and increases penetration of the skin surface. It is also an irritant for people with sensitive skin or eczema.


Sodium Tallowate

A sulfractant for cleansing and boosting foam in cosmetic products.


Phthalates

A chemical ingredient used as a plasticizer to soften plastics. It is also an ingredient in baby products to help lotions penetrate and soften the skin and make fragrances last longer.


Parabens

A preservative used to extend the shelf life of food and cosmetic products by preventing mold and bacteria growth.


Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)

A cleansing and foaming agent used in soap, shampoo and washes. This ingredient can irritate the skin when used often or in high concentrations.


Formaldehyde

A highly effective preservative and disinfectant, and a component in products like paints, car parts, plastics, carpets, and cleaning products. Many baby shampoos and body washes contain formaldehyde releasers that keep bacteria from growing in the product. It is dangerous when inhaled in large amounts.


Tetrasodium Etidronate

A chelating agent and preservative used to prevent a change in color, texture and fragrance in cosmetics, soaps and shampoos. It can irritate skin conditions and is sometimes considered as carcinogenic.

Dmdm Hydantoin
A formaldehyde-donor preservative that prevents the spoilage of cosmetics and personal care products. When absorbed by skin in large amounts, it can cause formaldehyde allergies like skin irritation.


PRODUCT TESTING

I was automatically drawn to the sweet baby scent of the Belo Baby Colognes. The cologne comes in three (3) scents: Sweet Snuggle, Happy Tickle and Cool Drizzle. The Cool Drizzle is my hands-down favorite.  I dabbed some on my shirt and loved the lingering baby smell.  And oh, it went straight to my bag.





I and I also tried the Belo Baby Face and Body Lotion.  It has a subtle scent compared to the cologne I first tested.  It was rich, but not greasy.  I liked soft after feel it leaves on my skin. I can't stop smelling my hands every now and then ~ it smells like a baby.




 

I have yet to try the other products, especially the Belo Baby Hair and Body Wash. I am a fan of dual purpose products, but can hardly find such in supermarkets. I am certain my 7 year old will appreciate this.
 

 
ONLY THE BEST FOR OUR FAMILY

Belo Baby products are available in all leading supermarkets, groceries and department stores. It is also available online:

Online Shopping Anyone?

Don't you just love online shopping? And what is not to like, e-shopping is so much convenient and easier than traditional shopping.

Just imagine, sitting in the comfort of your chair, sipping freshly brewed coffee, as you browse through various online stores, checking out a multitude of shoe brands, styles, colors of your liking and then delivered right to your door step.





However, although online shopping is fun and easy, you should remember to exercise caution online.

  1. Deal only with reputable merchants/online stores.
  2. Research about the seller, especially if you are buying high ticket items.
  3. Make sure that the site is secured before making any payments.
  4. Keep a copy of your transaction receipts, for reference just in case.
  5. Check all the details in your purchase before hitting that buy button.  Double check return policy and the terms and conditions of the sale.

Sharing here some of my most trusted online merchants ~ personally tried and tested.


I am a sucker for group buying sites. Where else can you get up to 70% discounts on premium items?  My two favorite group buy sites are:
  • CashCashPinoy - I have been a client since 2012 and I have bought a great deal of items from CashCashPinoy, from travel bags, backpack, restaurant vouchers, etc.   In my 2 years buying from them, I have never experienced delayed shipment or problems with my item/s.

  • DealGrocer - This site features premium items and I have used it a great deal, whenever I am in a hunt for high-end hotel accommodations.

For fashionable finds, however, I frequent:
  • Zalora - I love that they have an extensive selection of children's apparel and shoes, perfect for the kiddos. Check out these trendy sneakers. 

 http://marketplace.zalora.com.ph/kids/junior-girls/junior-girls-sneakers/ 




Hubby meanwhile would definitely go berserk-excited seeing these so many watches (lol)! 












  • Next in my online stores' list is Lazada. It is my go to online store for electronic items. I literally spend hours just checking out these cool gadgets.


With Online Shopping , everything is literally a click a way.

Sunshine & Citrus ~ Stylish and Functional bags at affordable prices

My weakness fab bags and shoes! 

I used to come to work in coordinated shoes and bags to go with my outfit, the look was great, but admittedly costly. 

One thing mamaness thought me, "You don't have to carry a designer bag to look cool.   Bags can still be classy and functionable and not hard on your budget". 


Just look at this stylish bucket tote bag from Sunshine and Citrus  with just the right size for grab-and-go mamas.
  
 
 
Milaflor ~ Houndstooth Collection
 
 
 
It has a spacious compartment that can fit your essentials, perfect for casual events, malling and date nights.



Oh and there are so many designs to choose from: carefree teenagers, young professionals and pretty-prety mama's (yup like me :P ). 


L-R: Andrea, Milaflor Nautical, Martha Floral and Ady

 
 Trendy right?  
 

Here is some good news:

Sunshine & Citrus  offers an opportunity to start your own bag business. For as little as Php 5,000, you get 15 pieces of bags (Choose among Ady, Martha, Milaflor, and Andrea bags) that you can use to start your own biz.

BDJ -All Things Kawaii (January and February 2015



What is Kawaii?
 
KAWAII is Japanese for "radiant face"
It is all about being lovable, cute and adorable!
 
I was so happy to receive BDJ's first beautybox for 2015, simply titled "Kawaii".
 
 
Just look at these loots!
 
I am so loving this box.  Everything in it is full sized :P
  


Here is what's inside:

1. Sunkiller Perfect Strong Plus, 30ml (P495)

Just perfect for the coming summer month! It has super UV-blocking abilities that stays on skin longer. It is also waterproof and sweat proof.  So awesome this product. Can't wait to give it a try.    


L-R:  Sunkiller 1. Perfect Sunblock, 2. Bifesta Cleansing Lotion Age Care, 3.Lucido-L-Styling Milk Airy and 4. Lucido-L-Treatment Oil Perm.


2. Bifesta Cleansing Lotion Age Care, 300ml (P419)

I have heard of this product before and I am happy to get a sample to test before actually buying.  This product boasts as being the first water based make-up remover. It is gentle on skin and helps boost skin repair. 


3. Lucido-L Styling Milky Air, 70ml (P295)

Another product I have been hearing of lately is Lucido-L, another brand I have been wanting to test.  Lucido-L Styling Milk Air is a leave on hair treatment, for conditioning and styling hard to manage mane (like mine). I am so using this one.  I also love that it comes in a fruity floral fragrance.

4. Lucido-L Treatment Oil Perm, 50ml (P295)
The Lucido L Treatment Oil in an overnight hair treatment for permed and colored hair, to keep it soft and curly.  


I was also happy to see a BDJ box returning product, Pixy. 



T-B: 5. Pixy Blush-on and 6. Pixy Eye Shadow


5. Pixy Blush-on, 3.5g (P345)
6. Pixy Eye Shadow, 2.8g (P315)
 
This brand, I have tested before.  It is easy to apply and blends well with my skin tone.  It is also handy and chick. However, it doesn't last very long and would need constant retouch about every 3 hours.

 

L-R: 7. Pixy Coverlast and 8. Pixy Two Way Cake Fit


5. Pixy Coverlast, 10g (P325)

Pixy promises a long lasting powder foundation with Coverlast, that hides blemishes, for a smooth and even look. It also controls oil and shine.  I think I am going to try this first.

6. Pixy Two Way Cake Fit, 12.5g (P275)

Another Pixy item in the box is Pixy Two Way Cake Fit.  You can use it wet for more coverage or dry for a more natural look.  This product contains squalane, found to keep skin soft and supple.


VERDICT

BDJ continues to impress.   I am really happy with the items I got.  This month's box total costs three times the subscription cost I paid for.  No wonder BDJ boxes are always sold out.
