Ilog Maria Products

Last July I went with my office friends to stroll and chillout at Tagaytay. Part of our itinerary is to visit the Ilog Maria Bee Farm which produces organic soaps, shampoos, body scrubs, etc. Since I am a self-confessed vain when it comes on bath products I almost bought most of their soaps, shampoo and massage oil (kaya nga umabot ng 600++ yung bill ko dahil sa kaartehan ko!). But I really did like their products since it is made from honey and all other natural products. What's good that it feels invigorating after taking a warm bath with their soap and the scent of the soap is really fresh and lasting.

I've been to Tagaytay plenty of times and this is the first time I visited the Ilog Maria Bee Farm. Thanks to R (who is a guy) for recommending us this good place to buy organic products at an affordable price.

Below is some of the snapshots we had during our visit to their store:

The Farm

Their Assorted Soaps - I tried the Spearmint (the green ones)

Their Lavender Soap - which I tried too

Their other selection of products

Note: I would also like to thank S for the pictures :)

Btw, Ilog Maria Bee Farm is located near Pink Sister's chapel. It can be confusing when going there since the farm is quite far from the main road. Just make sure to look on the left side when you're coming from the Rotonda part of Tagaytay city. You wouldn't miss their sign board.

Another thing is my friend who is a resident of Tagaytay told me that Ilog Maria soaps are also used by Sonya's Garden bed and breakfast :)

First attempt on Kikay Blogging

I am not a make-up guru or make-up expert. As you can see if you raid my kikay kit this is the only items you would found:


(My kikay kit that compose of a face powder, Body Shop Lip Balm, Body Shop Cheek Blush in tube, San-San eye shadows and Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss)

Since 2007 I've been using Maybelline face powder, it's quite cheap and has a nice matte finish but after some time I noticed that my face became more oily so I switched to a cheaper brand as per housemate's recommendation. I don't use too much lipstick that's why I stick to lip balm and gloss on ordinary days.

For my night routine on skin maintenance here are the products I use:


(Left to Right: Petroleum Jelly to moisturize lips; I-White's Skin Whitening Moisturizer; Body Recipe Pearl Cream for those hideous insect bites scars and Body Recipe Body Butter)

I appreciate using HBC's products since its cheaper than other beauty products found on big department stores. One tub of HBC's Body Recipe costs around P99.75 compared to other Body Butter products. HBC never paid me to advertise but I am quite satisfied with their products. Who says being pretty should be expensive? As long as you maintain your skin and take good care of yourself I think we ladies don't need to splurge a lot of money in beauty products. After all in times like these, we need to put our money on the right place.
