Having been born in the Philippines and having lived there most of my life, I'm ashamed to say that my grasp of the local language (specifically the Tagalog dialect) still isn't that great. Sure I can speak conversationally, but I do tend to fumble a lot and often draw a blank with many words I don't know the Tagalog equivalent for. There is one word I do like a lot though and have always related to: "kikay" (pronounced as "kee-kah-y").
In a nutshell, it means "girly". If you're described as 'kikay', then you're probably a typical girly-girl who loves makeup, fashion, and is totes boy crazy 24/7. That's partly why I was intrigued by a particular product (set) from a local beauty brand called The Queen's Essentials, and it's their "Kikay Si Maria Face and Body Set".
This skin care set is a collaboration between The Queen's Essentials and beauty blogger Eloisa Co from Kikay Si Maria. Eloisa's primary focus when creating the set was "whitening" and "anti-aging", hence all the products included are composed of ingredients which promote skin whitening and/or have anti-aging benefits. She also wanted to ensure all the products were affordable without comprising quality. The entire set retails for Php 500.00.
