Product Review: A Bonne Spa White C Salt

Saturday, November 26, 2011

   
     Hi dearies! I noticed that I'm soooo lazy these past few days and have long due posts waiting to be published. Methinks it's time to start reviewing on skin care products again. If you're a reader of my blog since August, prolly you'll know that most of my product review have been tried and tested by yours truly for more than a year. I think this time span is long enough to prove the effectiveness of one product. So now I'll share with you another great and cheap, should I say dirt cheap but so effective product. 
     Introducing *drum roll please* A Bonne' Spa White C Salt. This product is composed of fine-grained spa salt enriched with milk protein. This is an all-in-one skin treatment without causing irritation, it gently removes grime, sweat and pollutants from skin pores which cause body odor and reveals white, smooth and younger-looking skin. Scrubbing will improve blood circulation, giving your skin a healthy glow right after use.

     It contains MILK PROTEIN that helps skin to retain moisture, prevent dryness and roughness, giving skin lasting radiance and LEMON and PAPAYA extract to lighten tone, giving it a fairer and more radiant look.

size: 350g

price: 67.50php (Around $1.55)

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

instruction for use: Pour spa salt on your palm and scrub gently on wet skin using circular movement. Leave it on for 3 minutes and rinse off with water. Continue your shower routine.

ingredients: Sodium Chloride, Bentonite, Kaolin, Dermawhite, Allantoin, Milk Protein, Lemon Extract, Papaya Extract


What I like:
  • The scent is citrusy with a hint of papaya that smells good and not overpowering.
  • Really does the job in exfoliating the skin. I see a glowing effect after use.
  • Skin feels soft after scrubbing. There's also suppleness and no need for lotion.
  • The price is really cheap!
  • There's a batch number, expiration date printed on the package.
What I don't like:
  • The scent doesn't last long on my skin.
  • The grains may hurt if you rub it directly on dry skin. 
Will I repurchase? Yes! This is a staple in my bathroom.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 5/5 rating.  It's my HG body scrub. I really love this even though sometimes I get hurt because I scrub too much and put a lot of pressure on my hand while scrubbing. I love how it  really exfoliates my skin and I really can see the "libag" as what we call in dead skin in Filipino. If you want to have a gentle exfoliation, you can mix the scrub with bath or shower gels before scrubbing. I exfoliate 2 or 3 times a week only. I alternate this with Asian Secrets Lulur body scrub.

     Do you exfoliate during your bath time?What body scrubs do you prefer?Thanks for sharing!


   Good Times!~








     


Haul: Bath Essentials plus Makeup Stuff

Thursday, November 17, 2011

     Another haul after visiting Asian Eye Institute at TriNoma. It's crazy that all sales are everywhere! TriNoma is also having a sale of up to 70% till the end of the month. I want to congratulate my self for not spending too much yesterday. Mall sales can be tempting for a cheapskate like me and I have to stop myself from buying because I'm saving for something expensive.

   Anyhoo, I bought 3 soaps from All Organics, a white eyeliner, a body scrub and a substitute for my facial wipes which is OOS again. My favorite facial wipes is Neutrogena. Since I ran out of my wipes, I have to purchase Nivea instead.

L-R: All Organics Calamansi Soap, Papaya with Glutathione Soap, A Bonne' Spa White C Salt,
Shawill Eyeliner and Nivea Visage Cleansing Wipes

     I will be reviewing A Bonne' Spa White C Salt Scrub on my next post. This is my HG body scrub and been using it for more than a year now. I will also share my thoughts on Nivea facial wipes and Shawill eyeliner. I need to practice lining my waterlines before making a review on Shawill eyeliner.

     What's your latest haul?Happy Wednesday everyone!


Good Times!~



Product Review: All Organics Bath Soap- Calamansi

All Organics Bath Soap- Calamansi
*photo from allorganics.com.ph*
     Hi lovelies! Today, I decided to make a quick post on one of my favorite bath soaps that I bought from All Organics. As you can see, I’m always doing a review on organics stuffs that I currently love because of its effectiveness.

 What is All Organics Bath Soap?
“Our soaps contain a high percentage of Virgin Coconut Oil, which is rich in antioxidants that penetrate into the underlying tissues of your skin. It prevents and protects against the formation of free radicals that breaks down your skin’s connective tissue as you age. The oil will also soften and moisturize your skin, as well as aid in removing the outer layer of dead skin cells making your skin smoother and more evenly textured with a healthy shin”. Many conventional body care products made with refined vegetable oils, have all the antioxidants stripped from them (as a result of the refining process) and so are highly prone to free-radical generation, causing your skin to actually age faster! Virgin Coconut oil has been found to:
-         prevent premature aging of the skin
-         heal and repair damage skin tissues
-         help bring back a youthful appearance
-         assists in the prevention of liver spots and other blemishes caused by aging and over exposure to sunlight.
 *from MILEA Bath and Body Wellness Essentials brochure*

So now, I present to you All Organics Bath Soaps in Calamansi.
     
      The Calamansi extract in Milea's Organic Calamansi soap is particularly useful in eliminating strong and harsh odors, especially the distinct smell that accompanies fish that may linger on hands or a cutting board. It is also use to lighten dark spots and clarify the skin.

place bought: Sesou Nature Source, TriNoma Quezon City

ingredients:
Saponified Virgin Coconut Oil, Calamansi ( Calamondin) Extract, Vegetable Glycerine 
All Organics Bath Soap- Calamansi
What I like:

  • Citrusy scent. It really does fight body odor.
  • It moisturized my skin and lightens my underarms.
  • Feels squeaky clean after use.
  • The packaging is simple.
  • The batch number and date of production is printed on the label.
What I don’t like:

  • Not easily available, I have to travel 1 hour just to replenish my stocks :(
Will I repurchase? YES!

Recommendation:
I give this soap a 5/5 rating. I've been very loyal to this soap. I’m using it for more than a year now. I’ve tried man organic soap from different brands and this is my HG as of now. I use this for my face and body. I really love this soap! For everyone who loves the scent of citrus, wants to lighten their skin and fights body odor. Leave the soap for 2 to 5 minutes for full absorption of the product. Since this is an organic soap, it tends to melt fast because it does not contain any soap hardening ingredients. I always cut the soap into half so that it will not melt easily. Always store the soap in a cool dry place and if possible in a soap dish that has holes in so that air can let it dry.


That's all for now. One day to go and TGIF! Take care.
Good Times!~
