Watsons + SNOE Beauty Haul

     Hello there! Just a quick haul post for today. I asked Kenzo to watch Little Einsteins from the TV so I'm here typing faster than the usual because I told him this: mommy will borrow the laptop, count 1-10! Hehehe! So last weekend I went shopping to replenish my bath essentials and look what I found at Watsons, a charcoal toothbrush! My toothbrush brand is Colgate but the charcoal thing-y caught my attention so I decided to buy it and see what's the difference from the regular bristles. I ran out of conditioner and my plan was to try the Dove conditioner for color-treated hair. I haven't seen this variant before and I'm not sure if it's available here already. My cousin mentioned it to me a month ago. I tried looking for it at Watsons and Sm supermarket but I found none. My second option was Color Me Happy but it's OOS so my last resort was Pure Beauty Treatment Conditioner and it's my 2nd bottle now.

     Since I'm very busy lately and have no time to book for an appointment at my fave waxing salon, I just bought this hair removal paper and use the remaining Strip It wax that I won from a giveaway. I ran out of facial wipes and the aloe vera variant was OOS so I opted for the green tea instead.

Product Review: Snoe White Special Kojic and Glutathione Combo Beauty Bar

     Hi there! This will be a quick post for today. I'm squeezing in this review before doing mommy duties because Kenzo will be up in no time now and he'll be watching cartoons till sunrise on YT. 

     I really love Snoe! I'm using 3 variants of Snoe white beauty bar for more than 6 months now. I can say it's really effective especially in giving my skin the glow it needs. I'm currently using Vitamin C Rich Calamansi, Special Black Bleaching and Organic Green Papaya. I use them alternately depending on my mood or when I want to target specific problems in my face and body. Just click here, here and here if you want to read my reviews and see which one is my fave.

     Red is one of my favorite colors. That's why I got sold when I saw this variant of Snoe white soap at Cinderella, Sm Farview. Aside from the color, I'm sure that kojic-gluta combination is a must try. These 2 powerful whitening ingredients will surely give the boost that my skin needs- in the whitening department per se. Since I'm already fair, I want to even out some parts of my body that's always exposed to the heat of the sun. 

Snoe White Special Kojic and Glutathione Combo Beauty Bar
No.3 Special Kojic and Glutathione Combo Beauty Bar produces double whitening action of both high-grade Kojic and Glutathione. Inhibits melanin production to whiten skin blemishes and dark spots. Dries out, prevents pimples and helps remove blackheads. Thus, creating younger fairer skin.

Recommendation:
     I give this soap a 4.75/5 rating. Use the soap as instructed. Not to be used for sensitive skin. Always use sunblock with spf 30 or higher to protect your skin from the sun. There's 10 variants of Snoe white soaps to try and it's formulated to cater every skin need. I already tried and tested 4 of them and I'm sure that I'll be trying another variant soon. This soap is what I've used during my rest period from the special black bleaching bar. It's somehow milder and whitens gently. I highly recommend this soap, my skin loves it!

My Skin Care Regimen

     Hi loves! I'm worrying that another typhoon (Helen) will give sleepless nights and panic attacks to those living near rivers, creeks and low lands. After a day of sunshine here's another day of gloomy sky. If only we can talk to mother nature and ask her to give us normal amount of rainfall then we'll all be appease. Let's just pray that God will guide and give us strength and patience to endure all these natural disasters that we have to face.
     Today is errands day and we're off to Sm Fairview for some grocery and window shopping :D I'm also excited because the kiddo in me wants to play arcade games, weeee!~ So before going outside, I want to share my skin care regimen. Almost all of these skin care products became my HG (holy grail). Believe me when I say that I've tried and tested these soaps since 2009. Some brands specially with the soap only became my favorites this year. 

     My facial soaps- I use this soap once or twice a day. I also use a special soap e.g my skin is acting up or I want to lighten dried up zits.

ALL ORGANICS CALAMANSI

Step 1: I leave the soaps lather for 2 minutes then rinse.

SNOE WHITE VITAMIN C RICH CALAMANSI

SNOE WHITE SPECIAL BLACK BLEACHING SOAP

Step 2: After the Calamansi soap (ALL ORGANICS/SNOE WHITE) I leave the soaps lather on my
face for 2 minutes then rinse.

CYLEINA KOJIC ACID SOAP

FOR PIMPLE MARKS

ALL ORGANICS TOMATO LIME

FOR ACNE BREAK-OUTS

     I only use one toner before until I tried something that is almost close to organic because of its ingredients (will make a review soon)- All Organics Lemongrass Facial toner and Dr. Skin Oil Control Toner

ALL ORGANICS LEMONGRASS 

My new love! I included this on my skin care regimen because it helped me lessen my pimples during my monthly period.

     For my moisturizer- I only use GNC Vitamin C Moisturizer and Camaru Naturals Camellia Oil

DAY

NIGHT, I ALSO USE THIS AS MY UNDER EYE CREAM

     And for my face mask- I use Purederm's Dual Well-Being twice a week.

     Basically that's it! I will update this post later. I want to add something but I can't find the pictures of them. Hope you enjoyed reading this. Stay safe everyone!

Good Times!~

Just Sharing

     O-M-G! It's end of season sale once again. I know it's crazy! I'm planning to lift my no buy mode (parang coding lang =P) hehehe! but here's my bipolar personality again. I would love to shop new clothes and shoes since the last time I bought a pair of flats was months ago. But I'm worried that I will regret buying those stuffs. It's weird, I know! I'm also confused what brand to buy. Most stylish items are on sale so this will make me go nuts! Even if I already made my shopping list that I restricted only to three items (THREE ONLY) I'm sure that I will ignore it most specially if the items that caught my eye is 70% off the tag. I'm an impulse buyer before. I hope I can resists the power of temptation. So before I go on bargain hunting later, I want to share this post so you know what to expect on my next reviews. 

     Please bear with me for the long introduction. If you can still remember my post about being lucky on giveaways, well thanks to my lucky charm because I also won from other giveaways that I joined. This GC is for my son Kenzo and the hubby who loves eating chicken and burger :D and oh, coffee float is enough for me.

Certified Foodies Giveaway

500PHP GC from Jollibee

     My sister-in-law gave me this new product from AVON to review. She said this new hair treatment is on a special introductory price that's why she wanted me to give it a try. The hair treatment costs 199php. It's a steal because the shampoo is free. 

AVON Advance Techniques 3D

     This loot came from my sister. It's a way of saying thank you from asking a very important favor. She also saw this Tiny Buds baby powder at The Landmark baby section. At first I thought its for Kenzo but she told me to try it as finishing powder. When I read that it's made of real rice grains, I doubt it on keeping oilies at bay. But I have to road test it first, who knows this can be an HG material.

     I will end my post here dearies! My allergies are still there but not as itchy as day 1 and 2. I'm just worried that it will leave marks. I accidentally scratched them while sleeping :(  So to those who are going to spend their day shopping, take care and relax! Enjoy your day.

Good Times!~

     

Product Review: SNOE White The Special Black Bleaching Bar

     Are you ready for your summer getaway? Today is Holy Monday and some of us are getting ready to spend their summer vacation with their loved ones and friends in their provinces. I'm sure everyone is excited so get ready and pack your things ahead of time. Don't forget to bring your sunglasses and hats and put enough sunblock to protect your skin from the damaging UVA and UVB because I'm sure that Mr. Golden Sun will rise up and shine high! 

     

     So before I join the excitement of your summer vacation, I will share my thoughts about this soap. After my wonderful experience with their Vitamin C Rich Calamsi Beauty Bar and Organic Green Papaya I decided to try other variant like black bleaching bar. I know that I'm getting hooked, addicted and amazed with Snoe White beauty bar so here's my take after a month's use.

SNOE White The Special Black Bleaching Bar

SNOE White The Special Black Bleaching Bar

No.10 Snoe White The Special Black Bleaching Bar 

This special black bleaching bar is used to whiten dark spots, acne blemishes, freckles and melasma. Contains fruit acids to nourish the skin. Our special formula provides intense bleaching and whitening action that creates luminous skin.

size: 150g 

price: 139.75 php (Around $3.25)

place bought: Landmark, Trinoma

instruction for use: wet skin, lather beauty bar and apply thoroughly. leave on skin for 2 minutes. expect a slight tingling or prickly sensation. rinse thoroughly. for best results use sunblock with spf30 after bathing.

ingredients: Alpha Hydroxy Acid, High Grade Coconut Oil

What I like:

• It's organic!
• Cute and fancy packaging.
• Doesn't melt fast.
• I feel a stinging sensation and tightening of my pores.
• There's a lightening on my blemishes, particularly on dried zits.
• My skin looks luminous when I look in the mirror.
•  I experienced micro peeling on sides of my nose.
• Easily accessible.
• Affordable.
• Yay! Manufacturing and expiry dates are already stamped on the packaging ^_^

What I don't like:

• No batch, manufacturing and expiry date 
• A bit drying on skin.

Will I repurchase? Yes! I'm on my second bar nth bar now. I want to use it continuously but there's a precaution that says "Shift to another Snoe White Beauty Bar variant after three months of continuous use to let the skin rest. You may resume usage of our special black bleaching beauty bar one month after". 

Recommendation:

     I give this soap a 5/5 rating. Use the soap as instructed. Follow their recommendation I mentioned above so that your skin will have resting period and consult a dermatologist first because this may not be suited for sensitive skin. Always use sunblock with spf 30 or higher to protect your skin from the sun. Organic soap does not contain any soap hardener and our hot humid weather will make the soap melt faster. I always cut the soap in half. I highly recommend this soap, my skin loves it!
