Feature: Sappe Beauti Drink

Monday, November 09, 2015

     Skin care is important for me. I always see to it that I use trusted yet affordable products that will take good care of my skin. Here in our country, whitening and anti-aging products are very popular. Whitening soaps, creams, lotions, and serums to name a few. These are the products that take care the outer layer of our skin. Aside from these, there are also oral medication intended for skin lightening and tightening but most of them are expensive.

      A friend of my sister asked me last month if I've heard Sappe Beauti Drink because it's very popular in Thailand and a very effective drink. Long before this conversation, I've seen and tried this oh so yummy fruit drinks that contain skin beautifying ingredients. Taking care of our skin outside is not enough. It's also advisable to take care of our skin from within so if you think drinking oral medication hurts your budget, then think again. Let me introduce to you Sappe Beauti Drink.

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: Ishigaki Premium Plus Glutathione

Wednesday, August 05, 2015

     Hi, dearies! This is a very long overdue review. I received 2 bottles of Ishigaki Premium Plus Glutathione from Cheska's Online Store last May. I'm already familiar with the brand even before I started blogging. I haven't tried it because I was pregnant that time and I don't care about whitening supplements. If my memory serves me right, ladies were discreet when it comes to taking whitening supplements here in our country 7 years ago. But when popular celebrities became endorsers of glutathione supplements, the demand for whitening products surge.

     I'm also a lurker in different beauty forums before that's why I've read real experiences from users of this brand. I've seen more of positive results than negative ones. Almost 70-80% of women who were active in the discussion highly recommend this brand. Since I haven't tried this brand before, I'm not sure what are the differences of the old from the new formulation. This review is solely based on my personal experience. I've finished two bottles after six weeks. There were times I take one capsule and there were times I take two. To know more about my experience, scroll down dearies!

Product Review: Ishigaki Premium Plus Glutathione
A not so recent photo, this was taken in an event. You can see in the background that I'm basking under the sun. 

What I like:
  • The price- the cheapest glutathione brand in the market today.
  • The bottle packaging is handy. It is tightly sealed once you purchase a bottle so no need to worry about contamination.
  • There's a stinky rotten egg odour once you open the bottle- it only means that it's authentic. I've read in some forums that authentic glutathione should smell like rotten egg. 
  • This glutathione also contains L-cysteine and N-Acetyl-Cysteine known as potent boosters to speed up the whitening process of the skin.
  • I didn't experience any discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts, or whatsoever.
  • It made my skin glowing even if I always stay up late at night or if I only have 4 hours of sleep.
  • It lessened cystic pimples popping around my chin which I experience every month.
  • The color of my freckles lightened a bit while I'm taking this capsule.
  • After finishing 2 bottles, light scars from insect bites are not that visible.
  • It maintained my skin tone even. I took this last May 27 until June 30 and during those days, I'm always out in the sun. I attend events in the afternoon and there are times that I forgot to bring my umbrella.
  • I'm already fair to begin with but it made my skin not pale or yellow white but more of a pinkish/rosy white tone.
  • Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package.

What I don't like:
  • Not easily accessible, you have to purchase it online.
  • No assurance if this product is BFAD approved.

Will I purchase? It's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. One of the cheapest brands IMO. If you have a morena skin tone, it is best to use this brand for more than 3 months. The effectiveness of one product really varies from person to person. This supplement is also meant to treat blood disorders and serves as an antioxidant in the liver. So if you smoke, drink, and always stay late at night this supplement will also help cleanse the toxins from those I mentioned above in your body. Just leave a comment below if you questions and I will try my best to answer them. 

Have you tried taking glutathione as a daily supplement? Hope you can share your experience :)

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement

Wednesday, April 29, 2015

     Ever wonder why there are light and fair-skinned individuals who still consider taking glutathione as one of their daily supplements? I'm not sure if you will agree with me but not all 'mapuputi' have clear, flawless, porcelain, and glowing skin. Some women have pale white skin that is not flattering to look at. It's like they look 'sick' because their skin is pale and paperwhite. If you're to going to choose, do you like pale white skin or glowing white skin from within? Let's change your idea of whitening with the new Met Tathione Reduced Glutathione with Algatrium Dietary Supplement.

     I presume all of you already know what glutathione is. It is considered as a food supplement here in our country while in Japan and other countries, it is a medicine that can cure serious illnesses. Our body is producing glutathione naturally but as we age, the production of glutathione slows down that's why our immune system weakens. Glutathione is called the master anti-oxidant as it protects our body from free radicals. The whitening effect is the known side effect of glutathione :) I learned so many things about glutathione during our meeting with Dra. Cecille- Met's resident doctor. To know more about the new Met Tathione and why despite the price, I will still highly recommend it to everyone who wants to experience whitening at its finest :) More information after the jump!

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement
     
Met Tathione is a well-known brand of glutathione here in the Philippines. I can say they're one of the pioneer brands that's been commercially sold in pharmacies, drugstores, and beauty stores nationwide. When you say glutathione, the first brand that will come to your mind is MET, right? I've known this brand years ago but wasn't able to try it since I've read so-so reviews about the effects. 

     My cousin has tried Met Tathione years ago with the first formulation and swears with the effects on her body as a whole, she took this not only to whiten skin but to strengthen her immune system. Even though Met Tathione had received some negative reviews in the past, I still believe that premium brands will give great results. Always remember that results vary from one individual to another, the effect of whitening may be fast or slow depending on the individual's body. If you smoke, drink, and have more toxins in the body from environmental pollution, chances are there will be a slower effect since the glutathione will protect you first from those free-radicals then with continued use of glutathione let's say for two more or more, the whitening effect will be seen slowly but surely.

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement
     
Met is a brand under Ivi Ryo Corporation. It is the pioneering brand of glutathione that brings you the latest in whitening: Algatrium. This product innovation makes Met Tathione three times more effective than the previous formulation in bringing out that radiant glow in your skin. 

     It works from the inside out, giving you evenly toned and lighter, glowing skin in as little as two weeks. One capsule contains a potent formula of reduced glutathione and an imported new antioxidant called Algatrium. 

These are the benefits you can get from taking Met Tathione on a daily basis:
  • MET helps strengthen the immune system, removes toxins from the liver, boosts sexual potency, and protects the body from free radical damage.
  • Reduced glutathione is the main ingredient in Met Tathione products. It is the safe and most potent form of glutathione that we need in our bodies.
  • Glutathione is often referred to as the master antioxidant. It has many benefits that prevent oxidative stress in cells. 
  • The Met glow is not just from the skin but also from the overall benefit of glutathione throughout the body. 
  • Glutathione (Met Tathione) keeps the body healthy. Can prevent cancer, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis in the long run. This product can help lessen the impact of age-related degenerative disease in the body.
  • White glowing skin from inside and out!

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement
     
After 1 month of taking Met Tathione, my skin is visibly glowing even though I only have 3-4 hours of sleep. The photo below was taken around 5 p.m. The lighting wasn't able to show how fair my skin is but there's a pinkish glow in my arms. NO FILTER!

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement

What I like: 
  • Met Tathione glutathione is FDA approved. 
  • The packaging is so classy. I like that it is repackaged in a minimalist design. The design of the box and bottle packaging exudes what high-quality Japan-made products look like. The box is sealed with plastic and the bottle opening is well-sealed also. 
  • The new Met Tathione is also available in two-capsule sachets. Great for trips. No need to worry about the extra bottle in your baggage.
  • The new Met Tathione is in liquid soft gel capsule form- this kind of capsule is easily absorbed by the body, unlike the regular capsule.
  • This liquid soft gel capsule doesn't have a funky or weird smell. 
  • The new Met Tathione is now combined with Algatrium, a component that can triple the glutathione production in the body. It is one of the most potent boosters available in the market today. Algatrium is a patented antioxidant found only in Met, first in the country making Met three times more effective!
  • I did not complain of discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts, or whatsoever while taking this supplement.
  • No need to take a separate Vitamin C to boost the glutathione. Algatrium is more potent and will make absorption faster. So if you're acidic, this glutathione brand is for you. No need to worry about Vitamin C and the absorption of glutathione in your body.
  • Met Tathione glutathione made my skin glow. There are times that I only have 2-3 hours of sleep at night but 
  • This brand made me feel sleepy which is good for me because I have a hard time falling asleep at night. 
  • I always wake up feeling refreshed and energized. 
  • My skin looks luminous, especially in daylight. 
  • Made my skin less oily. 
  • Made my skin supple and plump. 
  • It lessened cystic pimples popping around my chin which I experience every month. 
  • No weight gain, bloating, or unruly cravings. I also look after what I eat so I guess the worry of gaining weight depends on the individual. I also exercise before I sleep.
  • I have a small scratch on my knee became a scar. Taking Met Tathione plus applying my favorite whitening lotion lightened the scar a bit but I can say taking the glutathione made the skin renewal faster than usual. Since I have fair skin, the scar is noticeable but after taking Met Tathione, the dark scar became less visible.
  • Batch, manufacturing, and expiry date printed on the package. 
  • Easily accessible.

What I don't like:
  • The price is steep for budget-conscious individuals and those with a tight budget. 

Will I purchase? Yes! 

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I'm happy with the results that I've experienced with Met Tathione after taking it for a full month. I take the capsules in two divided doses because according to Dra. Cecille, absorption of glutathione is better in divided doses than popping it all at once. No need to take Vitamin C because Algatrium will boost the absorption of glutathione in the body faster. Fewer pills to pop because of that too. 

     This post is getting lengthy already and I have more things to share. Comment all your questions and I'll base my answers according to what Dra. Cecille explained to us :) I'm relieved that there will be professional advice or backup for those who want to take glutathione but are afraid of ingesting food supplements/medicine inside their body. 

Good Times!~

Product Review: Gluta Advance White and Firm Soap

Sunday, January 11, 2015

     Hi dearies! Here's another review of whitening soap that I'm sure whitening skin care fanatics will be interested to try. There are so many whitening soaps in the market today. Different combinations and formulations so I presume many are having a hard time choosing what brand to buy. Aside from whitening and anti-aging combo, whitening and slimming/firming is making a name in the limelight of Filipina skin care essentials.

     Gluta Advance White and Firm is the brand behind the whitening and firming combination in their skin care products. This combination is present in their soap, facial wash, facial toner, facial cream, and lotion. Today, I'll be reviewing their Gluta Advance White and Firm Soap.

Product Review: Glupa Whitening Lotion

Sunday, December 21, 2014

   Hi dearies! Here's my honest to goodness review of Glupa Whitening Lotion. I've emptied the bottle of this lotion only last week because I don't use it everyday. It took me around two months because I use the lotion every other day or when I feel like using it. There are days that I prefer not to use this 'instant white/concealing' lotion because I perspire a lot if the weather is scorching hot. 

     I guess that's the only downside of this product if you're like me who sweat a lot. BUT the product works like magic if you really want to achieve that 'instant white skin' in minutes :) With continued use the product does not only gives that 'instant white effect' because it does lighten and whiten dark marks. It also contains anti-aging ingredients that I'm sure those who have tight budget will surely like this product as it functions as 2-in-1 (whitening and anti-aging) lotion in a bottle.

Product Review: Glupa Glutathione+Papaya Soap

Thursday, December 04, 2014

     I've tried a lot of whitening soaps sold in the market today. If you're a lurker in this blog, prolly you know that I've switched to organic soaps for the sake of my sensitive skin. I'm fair already, to begin with, whitening soaps either lighten skin blemishes that I get from pimple marks, insect bites or minor wounds like paper cut or from unconsciously scratching my skin while sleeping. I use whitening soap to maintain or even out my skin tone because there are times that I'm always out running errands in the afternoon. A change in a tone like one shade lighter is a bonus for me and it only means that the soap is very effective. For reference, I'm NC 15-20 in MAC.

     Anyhoo, I was invited by Age Defy Solutions the makers of Glupa products to an intimate gathering of beauty bloggers months ago. They gave us full-sized samples of their skin care products to try. The first product that I'm giddy to road test was the Glupa soap. I got intrigued with this whitening soap because the endorser is Boy Abunda. It is also a whitening soap that contains a powerful combination of glutathione and papaya. After a month of using the soap, here's my honest to goodness review of Glupa (Glutathione + Papaya) soap. Click CONTINUE READING and find out my experience.

Product Review: Tatiomax Glutathione Capsule

Friday, November 07, 2014

     Hi dearies! Before I start this review, I want to let you know that I already have fair skin, to begin with. I thought that my skin tone will be like this fair forever. Yes, whitening soaps and lotions help me maintain my skin tone and effective ones lighten and whiten dark spots, blemishes, and insects bites on my body. Effective whitening products also made my skin glowing, smooth, and supple. There are times that topical whitening products don't deliver what they promise not because they're not effective but because it is my skin that has reached its plateau in terms of skin whitening.

     So when Ageless Beauty Potions sent me 2 bottles of Tatiomax Glutathione Liquid Softgel Capsule, I didn't hesitate to try it because I want to see if there are the "ipuputi pa" (lighter) results for my fair skin. I also want to give you other option/choice especially if you think that the oral whitening supplement you're taking no longer give you positive results. I'm also intrigued because this is a liquid soft gel capsule meaning once ingested, the liquid glutathione will be absorbed easily and faster in the intestine giving faster whitening results. To know more about the product and see a little comparison of my skin tone three months ago and now, click CONTINUE READING and smile!
