Dove Ultimate White Deo Presents Unspeakably Yours: The Underarm Monologues

     Last August 28 Ms. Lhen Hasal of Ogilvy Public Relations Manila invited me to experience a night that will showcase the launch of Dove's new line of underarm product. Filled with fun and laughter, Dove introduced this promising deodorant together with Upstart Productions through Unspeakably Yours: The Underarm Monologues. 

     I arrived just in time and was amazed by the set-up of the place. Free flowing champagne and a sumptuous dinner was served before the play started. I don't have any idea what this monologue's all about. I must admit that I'm not the type who will reserve a seat just to watch theatrical shows. I'd rather go clubbin' or spend the night chillin' with my friends and siblings but after seeing the energetic, talented and gorgeous ladies I said to myself that I need to make this a new hobby! I'm so impressed with their performance and felt goosebumps while they deliver their lines. I really enjoyed the night and amazed with the performance. I went home empowered saying A-WOmen! Do you want to know why? Just read more and find out :D

Dove Ultimate White Deo Presents Unspeakably Yours: The Underarm Monologues

     Dove Deodorant recently collaborated with Upstart Productions to present Unspeakably Yours: The Underarm Monologues. Inspired by stories from real women, this original outspoken comedy explores views on an intimate part of the body that females love to hate and hate to love: their underarms.

     Beauty and Underarms rarely go together. In fact, women rarely talk about underarms, and women talk about everything. This is because many Filipinas are unhappy with their underarms: dark spots, chicken skin, odor and rough patches – real issues, but hardly the things you’d want to talk about over coffee. Still, real women, their issues, frustrations & joys, have always been Dove’s advocacy, so the idea of starting a conversation about one of the least talked about body parts stemmed out – what if your underarms could talk? What would it say to YOU, and what would YOU say back? Will it say something like Planet of the Apes or The Dark Knight Rises? I'm sure you're thinking of something right now and you can relate to what I'm saying, right?

     The underarms, perhaps the last thing a woman would think of when asked about her best beauty asset. Still, 87% of women think their underarms CAN be a beauty asset …IF ONLY they looked better!* But women can’t really consider their underarms as an asset if they don’t like the way they look. Unfortunately, that is exactly how more than half of women feel about their underarms with more than half ranking it as one of the body parts they are unhappiest about.

Thank you very much ladies for the wonderful performance :)))

Dove Ultimate White Deo Presents Unspeakably Yours: The Underarm Monologues
Unspeakably Yours: The Underarm Monologues is written by theater veterans Joel Trinidad (“Kaos”; “Breakups and Breakdowns”) and Cathy Azanza-Dy (“Love, Loss, and What I Wore”; “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change”), and directed by Cathy Azanza-Dy and Jenny Jamora. The show stars (in alphabetical order): Caisa Borromeo, Mayen Bustamante-Cadd, and Angela Padilla. It is directed by Cathy Azanza-Dy and Jenny Jamora.

     Through the play, Dove Deodorant wishes to advocate that women should embrace and love their underarms, by first being comfortable enough to talk about them, and taking the time to care for and look after them. Espousing love for an otherwise hated body part perfectly affirms the Dove’s long-time celebration of real women and our view of beauty.

• Did you know that when you shave, 30% of what is shaved off is actually your skin? 
• Did you know that when you pluck, your underarms become more prone to ingrown hair? 
• Did you know that repeated waxing can expose new skin cells too soon leaving skin irritated, dull and dry?

     Among whitening deo users, a common concern is stubborn dark spots or patches that just won’t go away. Women have tried many things: home remedies, derma/laser treatments, even make up, but these dark spots remain unsolved. Today, Dove introduces its latest innovation for underarm skincare and whitening: Introducing NEW Dove Ultimate White - Dove’s premium deodorant made specifically to whiten those stubborn dark spots in the underarm area.

     Dove Ultimate White Deodorant has ¼ moisturising cream, 2x licorice extracts and Vitamins E and F that nourish beneath the skin surface to effectively whiten and smoothen the underarms. It also has Omega 6 that works deep within the epidermis to reduce melanin formation and give precision whitening. Dark skin cells are slowly lifted away, revealing whiter, smoother underarm skin.

Would You Dare Try Dove Hair Care?

     Hi dearies! I'm still hopeless about my laptop. Until now I'm having a hard time using our old school desktop PC. I don't know if my good 'ol laptop will survive the accident happened weeks ago. Some photos about my product review doesn't have back-ups therefore I need to grab and borrow some images from the internet if there's any. How I wish I can turn back the time and copy all the photos that I cherish to a flash disk and worry nothing. Sorry for being sentimental, let's just talk something new here.

     I'm very curious about Dove's new TV commercial, and laughs whenever I see the wedding pictorial scene. I'm not a fan of Dove specially their soaps because I find it too moisturizing making my skin greasy and shiny. I also don't like the scent, it's unpleasant for me. But when I heard that Dove hair care is now in our country, I give my self a benefit of a doubt. Why not try their hair care products if everyone is talking about good reviews about it. My sister also told me that two variants of their conditioner smells divine and convinced me to try it too. I'm a bit hesitant because my hair suffered from worse hair fall before. I've tried different shampoos and conditioners from commercial and organic ones until Pure Beauty Tsubaki Treatment shampoo and Lorys Hair Creme came to rescue. Trying new hair care products means starting back at one. But I think Dove really wanted me to try their new products. 

     I had my waxing session at Lay bare SM Fairview and to my surprise they were giving samples of Dove shampoo and conditioner from the damage therapy line.

Dove Hair Care Range

For hair that's damaged or experiencing the symptoms of damage, such as split ends and breakage. With fibre active technology to internally reconstruct hair and prevent future damage. Hair is completely revitalized with amazing softness and smoothness.

A little trivia from Dove:

Did you know? Even if you don't realize it, pollution, frequent styling and even simple brushing and towelling can damage your hair. Damage is the cause of dryness, frizz, hair fall and split ends.

     Sounds promising... Will Dove give me an experience of beautifully strong, soft, smooth ans shiny hair that's free from damage? Hmm, let's see. Have you tried the new Dove hair care range? What's your favorite?

Good Times!~

Product Review: Dove Intensive Moisturizing Cream

     Last month, my mom gave me a tub of this moisturizer and I'm very eager to use it because my legs tend to become dry during cold months. I told myself that this product will work wonders with my dry skin because Dove is known as the moisturizing product from their ads and it also claims to be gentle on skin. Many of us have known Dove since our childhood days. I still remember when my relatives abroad brought different variants of Dove soaps and lotions as "pasalubong".

Dove Intensive Moisturizing Cream

Dove Intensive Cream for complete daily skin care

The intensive cream from Dove offfers rich care and a pleasant feel on the skin during and after application. It combines nourishing ingredients and a generous dose of active moisturizer.

Dove Intensive-Cream- for soft and cared for skin. Especially suitable for very dry skin areas.

size: 150ml

price: free

place bought: Saudi Arabia

ingredients: Water, Petrolatum, Praffinum Liquidum, Glyceri, Stearic Acid, Glycol Stearate, Triethanolamine, Glyceryl Stearate, Cera Microcristallina, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearamide Amp, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Carbomer,Disodium EDTA, Perfume, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Pentaerylthrityl, Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Dilauryl Thiodiproportionate, Alpha- Isomethyl Ionone, Butylphenyl Methylpropional Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclo Hexene Carboxaldehyde, Limonene, Linalool, CI 77891

Dove Intensive Moisturizing Cream
product well sealed with foil

Dove Intensive Moisturizing Cream
texture is creamy and thick

What I like:

• The tub is cute, actually i like the color of this better than Nivea creams, well-sealed and has manufacturing and expiry date on the side.
• The smell is not overpowering, smells like Dove soap- white variant.
• The texture is creamy and thick, a little goes a long way.
• Has English translation since it came from Middle East.

What I don't like:

• Unhygienic since it's in a tub.
• Very moisturizing that it will make your skin oily if you use more than what it is intended.
• Poor absorption of the product, takes more than 5 minutes in my case.
• Can be very greasy if applied in the morning.

Will I repurchase?No, I like Glysolid more better than this.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 3/5 rating. I think this product suits people with very dry skin. A little amount should be use in dry areas like elbows, knees, heels and hands because the product can get very sticky and greasy. Use a spatula when scooping out the product from the tub to avoid contamination.

     Do you use moisturizing products like Dove on dry skin?What other products can you recommend?

Good Times!~
