It’s my kind of watch, a classic timepiece that will never go out of style.⁣ That's why when Nordgreen Watches told me that they are going to send a watch for me to check out and review, I immediately said yes though I have doubts on shipment because of the current situation, I was surprised that it was delivered straight to my doorstep.

Product Review: Cream Silk Rich Organic Powerfusion Ultra Conditioner

     I've tried a lot of hair care products in the past and some of them became a mainstay in my stash. I'm very particular when it comes to the ingredients because my hair has gone through a lot of chemical abuse for more than 10 years up to now. The formulation comes in many forms too- liquid, cream, gel, solid bar, and now there's balm. Yes, a hair care product that's oh-so rich because the texture is close to those balms.

     Introducing the all-new Cream Silk Rich Organic Powerfusion Ultra Conditioner- first-ever conditioner inspired by the best that Mother Earth has to offer. The country’s #1 haircare brand combines its signature moisturizing technology with organic balms and luxurious natural oils in one product for naturally luscious hair that blooms with life. My thin, limp, and dry hair was so excited when these conditioners landed in our doorstep thus I tried it right away. It has been two weeks since I started using these conditioners and oh boy, if you are looking to nature to find the beauty solution you need, you've stumbled on the right brand- a product that gives the best of both worlds - the potent results that can be created by technology, with the trusted tender care our natural surroundings can give. Sharing my thoughts on Cream Silk Rich Organic Powerfusion Ultra Conditioner after the jump!

Product Review: Safeguard Gentle Micellar Body Cleanser

     Skincare junkies, hear ye, hear ye! Say hello to the all-new Safeguard Gentle Micellar Body Cleanser that's perfect for sensitive skin! I’m so excited to share this because it’s a breakthrough in germicidal soaps. We all know that anti-bacterial soaps tend to be harsh on sensitive skin making it dry. The all-new Safeguard Gentle Micellar Body Cleanser gently lifts up to 99.9% of germs, dirt, and oil with its Micellar technology- tiny balls of oil cleansing molecules suspended in water to draw out dirt and impurities without overdrying your skin.

     Did you know that sensitive skin is more vulnerable to germs? This is due to a weaker skin barrier vs normal skin that's why if you have sensitive skin, you need a germ-protecting soap like Safeguard Gentle Micellar Body Cleanser series that's also paraben-free, and dermatologically tested. The three variants are already a staple in the household. I’m currently hooked with Berries & Pear variant while my son uses the unscented one that's perfect for his sensitive skin. ⁣Sharing my thoughts on the all NEW Safeguard Gentle Micellar Body Cleanser below.

Product Review: modest. Skincare Alpha Arbutin + B3 and Cocktail Serum

     Five months of quarantine has brought a couple of ups and downs. I learned to appreciate my body but at the same time hated my skin. Stress and episodes of anxiety resulted in sleepless nights. My body clock also turned the other way around.⁣

⁣

     My skin has been acting up lately and the last cystic pimple left a mark on my chin. I was worried because it’s noticeable but I’m relieved that I have Modest Skincare products that target specific skin problems. After using Cocktail (A multi-vitamin serum with Hyaluronic Acid) and Alpha Arbutin + B3 (Alpha Arbutin and Vitamin B3-Niacinamide) alternately at night for a month, that nasty dark spot on my chin got lighter, yay!⁣ Sharing my thoughts on both serums that I decided to mix and match last month which aims to lighten dark spots (hello, niacinamide!), brighten the skin, and hydration support for supple skin.

Product Review: Tatiomax Glutathione Complex with Fucoidan 1800 mg

     Multivitamins, dietary supplements, and everything in between that will boost the immune system in the time of pandemic is in or should I say it a must! Whenever I buy my son's vitamins at the drugstore, the SA (sales attendant) will always recommend a random glutathione brand that I need to take in conjunction with vitamin c for more health benefits.

     So today, I'll be reviewing an all in one supplement for whiter, younger and glowing skin. This brand has been in the market for years now and if my memory serves me right, Tatiomax Glutathione Complex with Fucoidan is a new formulation- an advanced anti-aging formula for detoxification, immune boosting, cell rejuvenator and potent antioxidant. If you’re the type who likes to take anti-aging and overall wellness to the next level, this supplement is for you. A bit pricey but it’s FDA approved plus vegetarian-friendly. Cheska's Store sent this for me to try and test if it's true to their claims especially in the whitening and anti-aging department. Sharing more of my after taking this capsule for one month below.

Feature: Hairfix Keratin Protein

     And the search for affordable yet effective Keratin hair care products continues but this time I'm more inclined to find the right Keratin shampoo. My hair has been chemically treated for years now and a regular shampoo is no longer working.

Feature: Mentholatum Lip Pure

     A mask is a must in the new normal so do you still wear lipstick when going out these days? I’m sure your answer is no because it will only fade under a face mask. ⁣In the meantime, I’m ditching some of my lippies because I prefer applying lip balm for a soft and natural look plus it protects my lips from drying especially with a mask on. ⁣

     I've tried different lip balms in the past and only a handful delivers. Some lip balms are either too waxy or greasy and can be troublesome to wear if you have sensitive lips. Just recently, Mentholatum- the global company for non-prescription health care products and maker of my favorite eye drops launched two variants of their lip balms. Introducing the newest and affordable lip balms in town that will give your lips the TLC it needs- Lip Pure!

4 Cheap Keratin Conditioners in the Philippines

     Move over, hair conditioner because these babies are making a scene in the hair care department. Half of my life I've been using different brands of conditioner to make my hair shiny, manageable, and frizz-free. I was born with straight but thin and limp hair that's prone to breakage and hair fall. When I started using different hair dyes to sport the shades that I like every three months, my hair started to feel rough and dry. Chemicals in the dye that I've used in the past are already taking its toll on my hair that's why I need an intensive hair treatment every now and then.

     Salon hair treatments are expensive and should be done twice or once a month. The price also depends on the type of treatment and hair length. Speaking of which, Keratin Treatments are the talk of the town when it comes to resurrecting health and shine in a super dry and damaged hair.  Since hair salons will not be opening soon because of the pandemic, a DIY or at-home hair care product is a must. In a random grocery shopping during the enhanced community quarantine period, I discovered hidden gems that function like salon keratin treatment- 1-minute Keratin Conditioners that can be used daily at the comfort of your home. Sharing a short feature of the 4 Cheap Keratin Conditioners I'm using alternately every day.

Product Review: KB Glutathione + NAC (KB GlutaNAC) and Rosehips (Kyusoku Bihaku Glutathione)

     I’ve been doing product reviews since time immemorial and beauty supplement review is one of my forte. I can’t believe that it's only this year that I decided to try KB L-glutathione plus NAC. This glutathione brand has been in the market for years already and from oral beauty supplements, they are now offering personal care products like lotion, body soap, towel, teeth whitening, and more!

     I took this for a month together with their rosehips capsule. What I like is that taking glutathione does not only whiten skin as there’s so much more it can do to the body because it's an anti-oxidant.  

What's also amazing with this brand is it comes with its own rosehips extract supplement that is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, iron plus a good source of bioflavonoids, pectin, vitamin E, selenium, manganese and b complex. Sharing my thoughts on KB Glutathione + NAC (KB GlutaNAC) and Rosehips (Kyusoku Bihaku Glutathione) below.

Product Review: Ishigaki Amino Premium White Glutathione (New Packaging, Label and Barcode)

     When a reader who has been using oral glutathione for several months or even years asks me what brand gives a pinkish-white result, without a second thought, my answer is Ishigaki Amino Premium White. This brand has been in the market for 10 years now and the formulation of this once-a-day dose for pinkish white skin tops most of the competitors because of its affordable price and effectiveness.

     Cheska's Store, the trusted online store since time immemorial sent Ishigaki Amino Premium White Glutathione with the new packaging, label, and barcode for me to try and share my thoughts. After using it for one month, I'm still going to recommend this variant to those who like healthy pinkish-white rather than pale white skin. Scroll down to see full details of my review :)
