Haul: Bath Essentials plus Makeup Stuff

     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: Royale Beauty Kojic and Papaya Soap

     I'm also a fan of Kojic soaps before. I've tried several brands like Kojie San, Japan Kojic Soap, Cyleina Kojic soap and others that I already forgot. I know this soap lightens the skin but you have to be patient enough to see the results. 

     My sister-in-law joined this Royale Networking Business Club. This Royale Kojic Papaya soap is one of their products. You can read everything about Royale Business Club here.

Royale Beauty Kojic and Papaya Soap

size: 130g

price: 180php (Around $4.20+)

place bought: Royale distributors and re- sellers

instructions for use: Use Kojic Papaya soap all over the body for bathing, lather well, rinse thoroughly and moisturize. I also use it on my face.

ingredients: Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Stearic Acid, Glycerine, Cocodiethanolamide, Water, Sodium hydroxide, Sodium lactate, Kojic Acid, Papaya Extract, Yellow Iron Oxide, Red Iron Oxide, Perfume.

What I like:

• The soap doesn't melt easily.
• Says true to its mild peeling effect so I know it sloughs away dead skin.
• Keeps my skin moisturize and has a glow after use.
• The packaging is classy. Can be compared to the packaging of high end soaps like Metathione and Kyosoku Bihaku or KB soap.
• The batch, manufacturing and expiration date is printed on the packaging.
• Well sealed so you know it's fresh from the manufacturer.

What I don't like:

• A bit pricey for a kojic papaya soap compared to other effective brands in the market.
• The scent reminds me of Perla detergent soap.
• May sting if the soaps lather is left for more than two minutes.
• It stings my eyes big time. I always make sure that the soap won't get in my eyes unlike other soaps that I can tolerate if accidentally get in my eyes.

Will I repurchase: No, I love my All Organics Bath Soaps. If ever I want to try Kojic and Papaya soap again, there's a lot of brand to choose from.

Recommendation:

     I give this soap a 3/5 rating. I'm a cheapskate so this is pricey for me. I don't find any special with this soap. I'm not sure if there's a lightening on my blemishes and dark spots because I only use this soap for a month. If you want to shell out more than a hundred bucks for a soap, you can try this. I think the only good with this soap is the mild peeling effect and the glow it gives after bathing.

     What Kojic Papaya soap have you tried?Have a happy weekend everyone!

Good Times!~

Product Review: All Organics Bath Soap- Papaya with Glutathione

     I'm sure a lot of us wants to have fair, pinkish white smooth skin that's why whitening products are sold everywhere. From soaps, lotions, face creams, facial toners and the more expensive ones like whitening pills, injectables, etc, etc, name it and I'm sure one of us can recommend a brand or two.

    Since high school days, I've seen different kinds of whitening soap from my mom's toiletries. The first whitening soap that I saw was Likas Papaya. I know everyone knows this soap. Many claimed of its effectiveness. I once use this soap and I can say it's effective. But as time pass by, papaya whitening soaps grew like mushrooms everywhere. I only can name a few brand and one that become staple in my bath essentials is the All Organics Papaya with Glutathione Bath Soap.

     The brand sounds familiar, eh? Yes, it is my favorite brand of organic soap and I know it also deserves a review here. So let's start the review, shall we?

All Organics Papaya with Glutathione Bath Soap

All Organics Papaya with Glutathione Bath Soap
I always cut the soap into half so that it will not melt easily

What I like:

• Papaya with glutathione is a perfect combination in skin whitening.
• It's mild, no dryness of skin after use unlike other whitening soaps.
• My skin feels soft and smooth.
• I can see a certain glow in my skin after taking a bath.
• I love the smell, a bit sweet not overpowering.
• It lightened my scars.
• The expiration, batch and manufacturing date is printed on the label.

What I don't like:

• Definitely none!

Will I repurchase? Yes! I always stock up on this in my bathroom.

Recommendation:

     I give this soap a 5/5 rating. I highly recommend this soap to everyone. I can't think of any negative thing with this soap. I'm using this soap alternately with my calamansi soap and I love the effect on my skin. For maximum results, leave the soaps lather on skin for 3 minutes then rinse. Since it's organic, I always cut the soap into half so that it will not melt easily. Always remember that natural products can cause allergic reaction. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
