Saturday, May 25, 2019

     In this day and age when all kinds of pollution are taking its toll on our environment, there are still a few people who hope for the best. They are the small players or entrepreneurs who want to give us eco-friendly products that will care for us and for Mother Nature as well.

     Meet Beach Born- one of the fast-rising brands in the natural and cruelty-free personal care department. It's the brainchild of Sarah Tirona, one of my fashion idols in the blogosphere way, way back I started blogging. I purchased shampoo and conditioner bars last January and she sent me other products to try. Sharing more information about Beach Born after the jump.

Product Review: Natura Organics Cosmetic Tools Shampoo

Friday, December 30, 2016

     Sharing with you a quick review of Natura Organics Cosmetic Tools Shampoo that I've been using for months now to clean my makeup brushes. I only use three brushes to date that's why cleaning is easy as long as I have a buddy that will make the bristles squeaky clean in just 1-2-3!

     I wash my brushes using Natura Organics Cosmetic Tools Shampoo weekly. This product was sent to me last year and I'm so happy that the shampoo/cleanser is just halfway through the bottle. I also love the fact that this product is made by my Natura Organics- my trusted brand when it comes to natural, vegan, and organic beauty products. More details on this promising brush cleanser below :)

Feature: Pure Marula Oil by John Paul Selects

Thursday, June 16, 2016

     I've tried different beauty oils in the past. They're not the common 'oil' that we use during our childhood days. I call them beauty oils because of the beautifying benefits they give. I presume you've heard a type or two. Beauty oils come in many forms- it can be pure liquid, solid (inside a capsule), mixed with solid skin care products like soap and scrub or with another liquid products like shampoos, conditioners, and lotions.

     Beauty oils have different functions and the common denominator- they are widely use in the skin care department. Have you tried beauty oils before? I use beauty oil/s to moisturize dry skin, to treat and tame frizzy hair, or to make my skin glowing. Now, there's another use that I've recently discovered- it can also be used as sunscreen! Wanna know what beauty oil is this? Presenting... Pure Marula Oil! Know more about Marula Oil by John Paul Selects below and discover the benefits that you'll surely like :)
Feature: Pure Marula Oil by John Paul Selects
     Want to protect your skin from sun damage without worrying about the toxicity of commercial sunscreens? Now, you can with the new Pure Marula Oil! Unlike other sunscreen products that may contain toxic substances that are harmful for your skin, Pure Marula Oil is completely free of preservatives, synthetics and parabens. It is made from 99% marula oil that provides superior and longer lasting hydration for your skin and 1% blend of natural essential oils that give a light and natural scent. 
Feature: Pure Marula Oil by John Paul Selects
     Will I be saying good bye to my favorites- Argan and Macadamia Oils? After reading the benefits, I can say that I'm impressed not only in the sun protection department but also in minimizing fine lines. Oh, it's also an anti-aging oil, so I'll say hooray for now! 

Pure Marula Oil benefits:

  • This oil is ideal for skin hydration and restoration.
  • Pure Marula Oil has 60% more antioxidants than Argan Oil and is more powerful in fighting free radicals that cause pre-mature skin aging. 
  • Its high content of fatty acids like Omega 6 & 9 also makes for a superior anti-aging treatment that plump up skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines.
  • Pure Marula Oil is also best for treating sunburn and soothing skin redness, swelling and irritation. Packed with healing and reparative ingredients, it penetrates quickly into your skin without leaving residue.
  • Ideal for all skin types, works well even if you have very oily skin. 
  • It is non-comedogenic and does not result in clogged and enlarged pores, minimizing the greasy look and after-feel especially in the sweltering heat.
  • With its high antioxidant level, lightning-fast absorption, satin finish, and delicate essential oil scent, Pure Marula Oil is your ultimate, all-natural multi-benefit age-defyer and sun protection essential. 
  • Did I say it's also an anti-aging oil? Yes, it is! It hydrates, firms, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. (I can't wait to add this to my skin care regimen)

     I'm still a lover of natural and organic skin care products though most of the time you see me promoting mostly commercially sold ones. I still have a thing for natural and organic products and if you'll ask me the specifics, it's mainly bath essentials like soap, lotion, and body wash.

Product Review: Japonesa Face and Body Bar Soap

Monday, October 26, 2015

     Hi dearies! I'm excited to reveal the latest whitening soap that I'm using as of the moment. I've been using this face and body bar for more than a month now. For my long time readers, you know me already when it comes to product reviews. I make sure that I use a whitening product for at least three to four weeks before sharing my experience. For the nth time, I have fair skin but it's uneven and I guess lacks nutrition. Yes, using whitening products makes the skin "oh so good" to look at but the question "is your white skin healthy?" will arise.

     With this realization, I think I've stripped off some nutrients present on my skin because some of the whitening soap that I've used before will just whiten my skin and that's the end. What if there's a soap that will help maintain or achieve fair, bright, young skin and healthy at the same time. We need to nourish our skin and that nourishment is something Japonesa Face and Body Bar can offer. This face and body bar is a SKIN FOOD! Intrigued? See the ingredients below and learn more why I highly recommended this promising product. Something that will be a mainstay in my bath essentials :)
Product Review: Japonesa Face and Body Bar Soap
What is Japonesa Face and Body BarJaponesa is a unique blend of:


  • LACTOFERRIN that heals, repairs and regenerates the skin.
  • GLUTATHIONE that provides pinkish and flawless complexion.
  • COLLAGEN that makes the skin smooth and young looking.
  • PROBIOTIC is an active ingredient which nourishes, exfoliates naturally and adds nutrients to our skin.
  • ST. JOHN'S WORT an anti-inflammatory and protection for sensitive skin.
  • OLIVE OIL provides extra protection and moisture in our skin.
  • GLYCERIN helps improve the texture of the skin.
  • COCONUT OIL gives the soap a creamy and more lather.
  • SWEET VANILLA a mild scent infused to enhanced relaxing mood when the soap touches your skin.
Product Review: Japonesa Face and Body Bar Soap
  • Japonesa bar soap is a Japanese soap that has different benefits from head to toe. 
  • It is a SKIN FOOD- it nourishes the skin to help remove impurities and infused the outer later of the skin with probiotics and lactoferrin. Can I say it's like a yakult for the skin!
  • It is a whitening and anti-aging soap. 
  • It can be used as shampoo for hair and scalp care, and as feminine wash.
  • It has ingredients that's a first in organic whitening soap. 

Product Review: Japonesa Face and Body Bar Soap
     After more than a month of using this creamy face and body bar religiously, I'm impressed with the results. I decided to stop using other skin care products related to whitening like whitening lotion and cream. I can attest to the effectiveness of this creamy bar because in a span of thirty days, my skin maintained its color, looks healthier than before and there's a pinkish undertone when I'm outside the house. At first I though I'm getting dark but my sisters told me that I'm still fair and there's a certain brightness.

Product Review: Japonesa Face and Body Bar Soap
The soap is wrapped in a special Japanese paper. You can see the engraved brand name and logo of the soap once you open the wrapper.

What I like:

  • It's made of organic ingredients.
  • Japonesa Face and Body Bar is infused with lactoferrin and probiotics, first in the organic whitening soap department. 
  • It's a lightening, anti-aging face and body bar that's also great for sensitive skin.
  • The scent- smells so DIVINE! It's so luxurious, first time to try a soap that smells like vanilla. 
  • The packaging is attractive and has a luxurious feel because of the engraved logo.
  • Aside from the box packaging, the soap inside the box is wrapped in Japanese paper.
  • The soap produces a very rich creamy lather.
  • I don't need to worry if I left the soap in my soap dish despite the hot weather. Even if this is hand made, no signs of melting happened. I was able to use the bar until the very last shape. It's amazing how it can withstand the weather.
  • The price- if I'll do the math it's affordable as one bar will really last more than a month with daily use.  
  • It's multi-purpose- can be used from head to toe. Face and body bar, shampoo for hair and scalp, and feminine wash too.
  • My skin feels soft and velvety smooth after every wash. 
  • It maintained my skin tone despite the hot weather.
  • Made my skin glowing and bright.
  • Exfoliates really well! I can see dead skin big time every time I scrub my body.
  • Japonesa Face and Body Bar is available in two sizes: 120 g and 70 g. I can say that the later is great for travelling. No need to bring bulky soap with you when you go on a trip.
  • Made some dark spots and blemishes caused by pimples appear lighter after a month of everyday use. 
  • Though I'm not sure on the anti-aging effect, I noticed that my skin became supple. I thought I'm getting dark but there's this "namumula" (rosy/healthy tinge) on my skin.
  • Complete batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the box.

What I don't like:

  • Not easily accessible. It's available at UNIMART Greenhills and in their physical store only as of the moment.

Will I repurchase? YES, definitely! This soap is back-up worthy.

Recommendation:
     I give this soap a 5/5 rating. Another organic soap that I'll include on my top list, another holy grail material as I'm very much impressed on the performance.  I have very sensitive skin that's prone to redness and irritation. I'm glad that no negative reactions arise on my skin from the very first use. I highly recommend this Japonesa Face and Body Bar if you like to have healthy-white and young skin.  Japonesa Face and Body Bar is proud to be an organic and all natural Pinoy brand! Made from high quality raw materials, not tested on animals (cruelty free) and made in the Philippines.

     I know that there are so many whitening and anti-aging soaps in the market today. Read the ingredients carefully and see what it can do to your skin. This is my honest opinion about the product. The ingredients in this soap are promising and I think the first to offer Lactoferrin and Probiotic in one bar. Would you like to  Japonesa Face and Body Bar a try?

Good Times!~

Product Review: Natura Organics Emergency Ex-Zit Gel

Wednesday, June 10, 2015

     Hello dearies! I will not make a very long introduction to this wonderful product that was sent to me by Natura Organics months ago to try and see if this will make nasty pimple exit or go away. The name of this pimple gel says it all. It's a remedy for this kind of emergency where a pimple or zit is going to pop up a day or two before your big day. It's so frustrating that an angry, reddish, and humongous pimple is threatening to ruin your first date, your photo shoot, or presentation because it wants to show up in your face.


     This is my third pimple spot treatment to date. I don't have flawless skin, I have freckles and I often get a zit or two before, during, and after my monthly period. When I was in college I have this bad habit of pricking those nasty zits on my cheeks and chin where they always pop out if the size is still the same after a week. Thank goodness that pimple gels and pimple spot corrector were invented, no more popping just apply a dot and see the magic work if the brand you have in hand is effective but if not, nothing will happen overnight or after three days. Scroll down to see my experience about Natura Organics Emergency Ex-Zit Gel :)
Product Review: Natura Organics Emergency Ex-Zit Gel
     When it comes to over-the-counter acne products, you end up with a lot of the same ingredients, over and over: benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, witch hazel, charcoal, and (sometimes) retinoids. Yawn. The problem is, acne is caused by a bacterium, P. acnes. Like all bacteria, P. acnes exhibits bacterial resistance. Over time, “only the strongest survive.” Your acne treatment may kill 95% of the bacterial colonies, but a small percentage will mutate and survive. These resilient bacteria will reproduce — which is why effective agents in EMERGENCY EX-ZIT GEL is formulated.

Product Review: Natura Organics Emergency Ex-Zit Gel

     Below is a proof that Natura Organics Emergency Ex-Zit Gel is an effective pimple spot treatment. I apply this gel thrice or four times a day and after two days, the pimple has subsided then totally healed after four days. All healed. The only problem I have is dark spot cause by the zit. 
Product Review: Natura Organics Emergency Ex-Zit Gel
Before and after photo

What I like:


  • The price is  super affordable for a 20 g of product! 
  • This pimple gel can pass as unscented.
  • There's a plastic lid on top of cover. I accidentally drop this tub and the lid prevented the gel from transferring to the cover.
  • It's gel-type in nature but a bit runny.
  • A little amount goes a long way.
  • There's a minty and cooling sensation once the product is applied on my angry, reddish, and painful zit.
  • Doesn't burn or peel the site where I applied it.
  • This gel reduced the size of my pimple overnight.
  • After 2 days, the pimple has dried up.

What I don't like:


  • The packaging is flimsy.
  • The product is in a container without spatula. It would be great if this product is packaged in a plastic tube with nozzle tip for ease of use since all I need is a spot- dot size amount in treating pimples. I will just use my fingers or cotton buds to spread the product on my pimple/s.
  • No ingredients list printed on the package.
  • No batch, manufacturing, and expiry date.
  • Not easily accessible.

Will I repurchase? Yes! But not for now since I still have a tub to finish but this one is back-up worthy!

Recommendations:
     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. If you're eager to really make your pimple/s gone in less than two days, make sure to use it more than twice a day. Religious application will make heal pimple/s faster. Since I'm always at home I make sure to apply a thin layer three or four times a day. I'm totally surprised when I woke up the next day because swelling, redness, and size of my pimples had been reduced then after two days it's gone already. If there's a sign that a new pimple is coming out, I immediately apply this gel and voila! I can bid my pimples goodbye :D

Do you use spot corrector treatment for your pimple/s? 

Good Times!~

Product Review: Japan Yamashiro Organic Deep Intensive Whitening Soap

Saturday, May 16, 2015

     Hi dearies! Here's my honest to goodness review of the soap that I've been using for three weeks now. Even though the soap is dubbed as "See results in 3 minutes" I still make sure that I use it for more than two weeks since there are other effects that I want to see while road-testing the product. I believe that one week is not enough to test a soap, especially whitening ones. I'm already fair to begin with so chances are there will not be a drastic change in the whitening and lightening department.

     But a small but promising effect will always matter to me. I'm patient like that with whitening skin care products. I don't judge the product after a week's usage. We have different skin tones, skin care needs and problems so this soap may be effective for me but not to you or vice versa. I've been using the soap for three weeks now, I'm always out in the sun running for errands. Even though I'm armed with umbrella and sunblock, my skin still get burned under the sun. Not only the sweltering heat but the humidity can also cause skin darkening. So this soap is a big help :) See below why!

Product Review:  Japan Yamashiro Organic Deep Intensive Whitening Soap
     
     Japan Yamashiro Organic Deep Intensive Whitening Soap is made of the finest and purest of Vitamin C- derives from organic plants and fruits extracts. Made of Hyaluronic and Nano Formula which penetrates down to the 7th layer of skin. Takes only 3mins!

  • It produces a good lather.

  • The soap doesn't melt fast despite the hot weather.
  • My skin is soft and smooth to touch after use.
  • It made my skin even toned even if I'm always out in the sun running errands. It's a no joke that I always feel like I'm getting fried whenever I walk in the streets around 12 in the afternoon. 
  • It lightens my wound scar a bit after three weeks of use. 

What I don't like:
  • Not easily accessible.
  • Doesn't have batch, manufacturing and expiry date.
  • No English translation of the product information.

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:
     I give this soap a 4.5/5 rating. I like the soap's exfoliating powers! I can see dead skin cells big time every bath. As for the texture, the soap is economical to use as it doesn't melt fast or should I say no melting at all in the soap dish despite the hot weather unlike other organic whitening soaps in the market today. 

     Always use the soap as instructed. Since I've only consumed a bar of Japan Yamashiro Organic Deep Whitening Soap, the whitening effect on my fair skin tone is not drastic but with continued use I'm sure that my blemishes will fade one step at a time. I've seen a lightening on my small knee scar and that's a wonderful result in as fast as three weeks. The soap leaves a powdery feel after use too so my skin is really soft and smooth to to touch. I highly recommend this soap. Yes, it worked for me :)



Have you tried Japan Yamashiro Organic Deep Intensive Whitening Soap already?

Good Times!~

Product Review: Natura Organics Miracle Fluid

Monday, April 27, 2015

     Hello dearies! Here's a review of Natura Organics Fluid Miracle that made my contact dermatitis subside after five days of use. I'm planning to use this product as a face moisturizer but the need to treat the non-stop itchiness of my upper back arise so I tested this miracle in a bottle on that part. This product is very promising because it can be used from head to toe! By the way, the irritation/allergic reaction that I have on my upper back came from a cloth tag. I know you can relate when I say cloth tags can irk you and the only thing you have in mind is to cut them right? Or else, suffer the consequence like skin irritation. Since I've been scratching my back from time to time, I've developed small wound like scratches five days ago but with this product, it's almost gone :)

      If you're intrigued with this miracle fluid well in AYURVEDA, this unique blend of oils and herbs is formulated to help skin look young and healthy. It helps illuminate skin color, smooth fine lines, cool and cleanse while helping clear blemishes. Liquorice, an antiseptic, protects against bacterial and fungal infections. It also helps improve skin texture. To know more information about Natura Organics Miracle Fluid, click CONTINUE READING now!

Product Review: Skin Beautanicals Organic Arbutin Soap with Argan Oil

Monday, January 19, 2015

     I've been suffering from dry and flaky skin for months now. It started last December because of the cold weather. I'm used to this condition and I'm sure that I'm not alone. The colder the weather, the drier the skin because the humidity level (moisture in the air) tends to be lower than the usual during cold months. So it's not an excuse to ditch the moisturizers even if you have normal skin/oily skin types during cold months cause your skin will be needing it too.

     Aside from creams and lotions that contain moisturizers, we also need to look for a soap or body wash that will help lock in moisture in our skin after taking a bath. Beauty oils are in the limelight of skin care nowadays. From rosehips-tea tree-grapeseed-olive-jojoba-sunflower-camellia-marula to argan oil, name it and I'm sure beauty gurus around the globe have tried a couple of them. Morrocan Argain Oil is the "liquid gold" for dry hair and dry skin. Skin Beautanicals by Jianne Skin Essentials sent me their Organic Arbutin Soap with Argan Oil to try and after using the soap for more than a month, I'm ready to share my thoughts about it.

Thursday, January 01, 2015

     Whoa! I can't believe it's 2015 already. This post has been sitting on my blog bin for months now. As in I almost forgot to publish this article. It's better late than never right. One of the organic brand that sent me samples of their products was Organics Magic. I received this Spa Collection Set for the footsies. Since the weather is getting colder and colder, the skin around my feet like the heels are becoming dry and numb. 

     This spa set is what I needed to combat all the 'cold months' woes. It contains soothing foot lotion, for tired and numb legs and feet, foot scrub to remove dry skin and foot lotion to hydrate drying skin. To know more about the product and their prices, click CONTINUE READING now.

Feature: Skin Beautanicals by Jianne Skin Essentials

Saturday, December 13, 2014

     Hi dearies! My apologies for being MIA (missing in action) :( Internet connection is acting up for the fast few days hence I wasn't able to update you with product features and reviews plus another giveaway that I've promised last week. Anyhoo, I received a new batch of organic skin care products from Skin Beautanicals by Jianne Skin Essentials. When the products came in our doorsteps, I was surprised to see a new variant of soap that I'll be road testing in the coming weeks. This is the snail filtrate repairing soap. Snail slime or mucus had been the talk of the town last year and early this year for its healing properties. If my memory serves me right, I've seen tv and magazine features about skin care products containing this 'miracle' ingredient from the snail. According to what I've heard, the slime/mucus/filtrate has healing and repairing properties for problematic skin. 

     The brands that I saw carrying a snail line are mostly Korean brands. I think they're the ones who first introduced the snail mucus or slime as an anti-aging and repairing agent in the world of skin care. That's why I was intrigued when I saw Skin Beautanicals Snail Filtrate Soap, the first organic soap with snail filtrate that I'll be trying to date. Of course not only the snail soap that made me giddy to road test their products because Ms. Roxanne of Jianne Skin Essentials also included their organic arbutin with argan oil soap and arbutin lotion for me to try. But first let me share with you information about these products so click CONTINUE READING and find out :)
