Product Review: Celeteque Make-Up Remover Cleansing Facial Wipes

     Hello dearies! Happy Monday to all :) Been absent for three days and wasn't able to published another review because of some personal matters. I hope that I'll be able to update this blog everyday this whole week. But before I start this review, I want to say thank you for always visiting this humble blog and for joining the discussion on my past and presents posts. Anyhoo, I'm currently updating my skin care routine because I think that I've reached my plateau level in some of the skin care products that I'm religiously using. I'm also searching for a new makeup cleansing wipes when I ran out of my heavy duty facial wipes from Tony Moly and good thing that Sample Room had this makeup cleansing tissue from Celeteque. When I saw this at Sample Room, I immediately grab a sample because I know the brand is one of the most effective and efficient when it comes to dermatologist- tested skin care products. 

     Using just only soap to cleanse our face that's full of heavy or light makeup is not enough. We should be very vigilant in cleaning our face everyday because a single act of sleeping without washing your face may result into a zit or two the next day. If you really want to make sure that your face is squeaky clean, you can opt to use facial cleansing tissues, oils or other form of cleansing agent before washing your face with facial washes or soaps. 

     A trusted facial cleansing wipes is all you need if you're tired and wants to make the routine faster. There are so many facial cleansing wipes in the market today that's why it's a bit hard to choose which one will really help you in making your face makeup and dirt free. To make choosing a bit easier, here's my thoughts on Celeteque Make-Up Remover Cleansing Facial Wipes. Hope my review helps ^_^ Click CONTINUE READING for more information.

Product Review: Digestics Probiotic Food Supplement

     Eating the right kind of food everyday is a hard protocol for me because I always count the calories that I load in my body and not the kinds of food found in the food pyramid. If you're a long time reader of this blog, I'm sure you've read my stories about dieting and pushing myself to stay fit and healthy. It's very hard you know when you were born in a family who loves to eat. Despite the unhealthy eating habits and the drinking sesh weekly, I always make sure that there's something in my diet that will help me expel toxins in my body. I'm a regular user of psyllium husk fiber for four years now that's why I'm brave enough to junk all the starches and oils in my body. But that's unhealthy and don't do that even if you're drinking supplements that will reduce the bad fats in the body because it's insane that you're trying to live a healthy lifestyle but you're ingesting unhealthy stuff, see the picture?

     Nowadays, people become more and more aware of the supplements that will help them lose the bad fat and cholesterol in their system in a very easy and convenient way. All the food that we eat gets easily digested if we have healthy stomach so good bacteria is needed to make our tummies happy! Just recently, Sample Room introduced this newest supplement in the market today that contains fiber and probiotics in one.

Product Review: Celeteque Brightening Radiance Body Cream

     Two or three days ago there's a sudden change in the temperature and the northeast moonsoon winds started to make its wave here in our country. Holiday season is here! It's just around the corner of every place that I've been to last week. Good vibes everywhere because of the Christmas songs that I hear and colorful decorations that I see around the neighborhood. But with the sudden change of weather, there's one thing that I also worry. It's also the season where I change my skin care routine because my skin tends to get dry on some parts of my body especially my on my legs. 

       I experienced dryness on lower parts or my legs that's why a I need a lotion or a cream that will make them hydrated and nourished so that it will not look scaly and dull. Most of my HG lotions doesn't concentrate on extremely dry skin or radiance boosting ingredients that's why when I saw this Celeteque Radiance Body Cream from Sample Room, without thinking twice I grabbed a sample. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first brightening/radiance cream that I've tried because most of the lotions that I use are whitening because I have fair uneven skin tone. So what's the difference of this lotion from the common whitening variant? I guess it's pretty obvious that it will really make the skin bright and radiant- the mirror like glow that we want to achieve because  glowing skin is healthy. Even though you're fair, morena or dark skinned, having a glowing skin looks refreshing and beautiful. So enough with the blabber and now let me share my thoughts on this product. Here it is, my review of Celeteque Body Radiance Cream from the brightening line. Click CONTINUE READING to know more about the product.

Product Review: CarbTrim Iced Tea Mix Lemon Flavor

     Today, I decided to add another topic on my blog and it's about health and fitness wellness. A lot of my relatives and friends asked me why I lost so much weight after giving birth. Actually, this so called journey didn't started after pregnancy but during my high school years. I'm always on a diet ever since and to tell you honestly, I've tried different techniques on how to loose weight fast but the faster you loose weight, the more weight you will gain after that diet period. This is what they called as the rebound effect. So the best way to loose weight is through healthy lifestyle- balance nutrition and exercise. In my experience, diet supplements like fat burners, appetite suppressants, and the like just adds a little boost on losing or maintaining weight. I noticed that the obvious effects of slimming pills and coffees that I've tried before was just help me loose the water weight that I have. Since I don't value exercise before and I want to lose weight the easy way, my skin sagged and got stretch marks here and there. My skin also got a bit wrinkled because I lost so much water and become zombie like due to insomia- another negative effect of slimming pills, juices, and coffees. But not all slimming products in the market are alike. So as years pass by, more innovation about healthy lifestyle became available to health conscious individuals. As I've said earlier, we also need a "boost" to make our healthy lifestyle more achievable. In my honest opinion, there should always be a balance between diet and exercise and a little supplement that will help us achieve our goal. It's like drinking your daily vitamins and supplements. I think there's nothing wrong if we will incorporate healthy drinks in our meals and aside from that we get benefits that will help us achieve our fitness goals.

     Presenting CarbTrim,  a weight management solution that blocks up to 66% of carbs in the food you eat. This comes in a powdered iced tea form, available in two flavors: lemon and apple.

Product Review: Celeteque Acne Spot Corrector Gel

     Hello there loves! Hope you're all doing fine :D I'm excited to make this review because after two weeks of using religiously, I can attest to its effectiveness in combating those painful reddish pimple and dark spots or pimple marks. This is my first spot treatment to date since I just let a pimple or two subside by itself before. 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. I'm glad that after so many years of just letting pimples to come out of my face before and after my monthly period already found a solution.

     Thanks to Celeteque DermoScience for bringing this product line. Although I haven't tried the Acne Solutions line, I'm sure they will give good results if used consistently. I suffered from acne breakouts last month and I'm considering two spot corrector that time. Since Celeteque is a trusted brand when it comes to skin care that's dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic, I gave it a try and satisfied with the results. 

      I bought this Celeteque Acne Spot Correcting Gel three weeks ago and applied on existing cystic acne and new ones. Patience is a virtue, I'm not expecting this to make my pimple disappear overnight but in some cases or depending the size it can make a big difference on the size of a pimple after 12 hours. My son accidentally deleted the photo of my angry pimps that I wanted to show you- bummer! But I swear this product works!!! Now here's my take on Acne spot corrector gel, click read more to see my full review.

Since I'm always at home I make sure to apply a thin layer three or four times a day depending on the size of my pimples. I'm happy that when I wake up the next day it reduced the swelling, redness and size. If there's a sign that a new pimple is coming out, I immediately apply this gel and voila!

Product Review: Asian Secrets Bengkoang Soap with Olive Oil

     Hi dearies! How's your day?Mine's a bit stressful because my son is sick. It sucks big time when you see and feel that your loved one is in pain. My son's fever is on and off that's why I need to watch him even when he sleeps. I hope he'll get well soon. 

     Anyhoo, I will review today another product from Asian Secrets, its the Bengkoang Soap with Olive Oil variant. If you're a follower of my blog, I'm sure you know that I love organic soaps. Organic soaps form All Organics are staples in my skin care regimen. I've been using organic soaps more than a year now that's why I'm a bit hesitant to try other soaps because I know it can cause different kinds of reaction. I've learned that once you've found your HG you must stick to it but the curiosity in me strikes back and telling me to try this soap because of the Bengkoang, same as the Singkamas soap from All Organics that I'm also using and made a review here.

     Asian Secrets Bengkoang Indonesian Whitening Soap contains Bengkoang (Yam Bean Extract), a widely popular whitening ingredient in Indonesia that can be found in the islands of Sumatra and Java. It also contains Olive Oil to moisturize skin and protect it from dryness.

Asian Secrets Bengkoang Soap with Olive Oil

size: 100g

price: 70 php (Around $1.60)

place bought: Watson's Health and Beauty Store, Sm Fairview

instructions for use: Use soap to wash face and body. For maximum effect use it everyday.

ingredients: Oleamidoproryl Betaine, Tallow, Stearic Acid, Fragrance, Pachyrrhizus erosus (Yam Bean) Root Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Tetrasodium EDTA.

What I like:

• I think the shape of the soap is unique.
• Affordable for a 100g soap.
• The soap is firm and doesn't melt easily.
• It leaves my skin smooth and moisturized.
• Manufacturing, batch and expiry date is printed on the box.

What I don't like:

• I'm not a fan of the scent- reminds me of Irish Spring soaps that has a bit of masculine scent.
• Haven't seen any whitening or lightening on blemishes that I have.

Will I repurchase? No, I just tried it out of curiosity and because of the raves that Asian Secrets Lulur scrub had.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 3.75/5 rating. It does the job well in cleansing without drying your skin. It doesn't melt easily so i think it's a plus factor for those who are on a budget. But again the scent for me is a bit strange. I like fruity and citrus-y scented soaps.

     Have you tried Asian Secrets' Soaps?What variant do you prefer? Thanks for sharing!

Good Times!~
