Product Review: Gluta-White 500

     I've made a lot of whitening supplements here on my blog. The most famous whitening supplement is glutathione and I presume that you already know what it does to your body aside from whitening. Glutathione is the favorite whitening pill of many Filipinas. It comes in different forms now and if you read the ingredients, one or more boosters are combined with glutathione to make the effect faster.

     For today, I'll be sharing my thoughts on Gluta-White 500- the first brand of glutathione that's listed on MIMS and does not contain any boosters in the ingredient. This one is pure L-glutathione in every capsule. If you're a beginner in taking whitening supplements, I highly suggest this brand because if allergic reactions arise, there's only one culprit. No other ingredients to blame. Hahaha! But seriously, glutathione alone can be effective as long as you take it with Vitamin C. Full review of Gluta-White 500 below :)

Product Review: NEW Meiji Amino Collagen Starter Kit [DISCONTINUED]

     Hello, collagen supplement lovers! The most loved collagen brand- Meiji launched a new and improved version of their Amino Collagen that we all love. My heart skipped when I saw the new packaging but I panicked when I saw that they reduced the collagen content to only 1,000 mg per scoop. From 5,000 mg, now it's down to a small amount BUT it's still effective like the old one.

     So if you're in search of the fountain of youth, Meiji is one of the brands that I'll recommend. It's effective and easy on the budget. Cheskas Store sent a 30-day supply of the New and Improved Meiji Amino Collagen for me to try and share my thoughts if it's worth the reformulation. More information Meiji Amino Collagen Starter Kit below :)

Product Review: Ishigaki Amino Premium White Formerly Ishigaki Premium Plus Glutathione

     As I've said in my latest Ishigaki Glutathione post, this brand is now FDA Approved. Aside from the certification from FDA, Amino Premium white has been repackaged, reformulated, and there's a seal that says "authentic".

     I received a lot of queries on my review of the previous Ishigaki Premium White Plus if the new Ishigaki Amino Premium White has the same pinkish white effect after finishing one bottle. I've tested the product for a month and now ready to muse my experience. Full review details below.

Product Review: Vitapack Facial Mask (Collagen + Arbutin + Q10 Perfecting Peptide)

     There are so many facial masks available on the market today. It's easy to buy all the kinds and variants as most of the skin care brands (local and international) are offering facial masks that target different skin problems

     You can find whitening, anti-aging, anti-acne, hydrating, glowing, and the list goes on for facial masks. When looking for a mask, I make sure that it's affordable, multifunction, and easy to use. The facial masks that I've tried before range from cheap to expensive ones but only a few give great results. I think I found another mask that will always be on my essential list. Meet Vitapack Facial Mask (Collagen + Arbutin + Q10 Perfecting Peptide), the mask that I will never get tired of using and will highly recommend to whiten, moisturize, and give an instant glow on your skin.

     Organic and natural products are the reason why I made this blog. These are the skin care products that tamed my adult cystic acne during my postpartum period. I've tried a handful of brands before and I can say that all of them gave great results. Fast forward today, Watsons now has a natural line of products to nourish and protect the body from head to toe! Introducing Naturals by Watsons. Know more about this natural line below.

Feature: Pure Beauty Urban Shield

     Did you know that your skin is exposed to different kinds of pollutants everyday? These are dust, dirt, and UV rays that will have negative effects on your skin in the long run if not addressed properly. While there are so many whitening and anti-aging products in the market that is easily accessible, I haven't seen a product line that works to protect the skin from harmful effects of pollution that's why I was surprised when Watson's Philippines sent the full range of Pure Beauty Urban Shield line. 

     The newest product line that will nourish and protect your skin from inside out is here! It will be Filipina's best bet for that 8 step Korean skin care regimen. Pure Beauty Urban Shield line is the first of its kind in the country, inspired by nature and infused with antioxidants from pomegranate. More information about the line below.

Collagen by Watsons

     Did you know that at the age of 25, problems in the anti-aging department start to arise? Yes, that droppy or sagging skin below your chin, an overly active oil mine in your face, dark spots and uneven skin tone on your cheeks and forehead plus the reality of appearing fine lines and wrinkles all boils down to one dilemma- aging skin!

     These skin concerns may have resulted from low collagen levels in the skin. As we all know, collagen is the building block of the skin’s structure that's naturally produced by our bodies. Sad to say, as we age, collagen production slows down or weakens because of other factors like stress and pollution. Collagen products- topical and oral can help address those that's why Watsons launched a solution to help us look good and feel great. Enter Collagen by Watsons. More information about the product line after the jump.

Product Review: Ishigaki Amino Classic White formerly Ishigaki Advanced Ultra White

    Hi dearies! I'm sure that you've heard the news that Ishigaki Glutathione is now FDA Approved. Aside from the certification from FDA, the variants have been repackaged, reformulated, and there's a seal that says "authentic".

     I received a lot of queries on my review of the previous Ishigaki Advanced Ultra White if the new Ishigaki Amino Classic White has the same whitening and glowing effect after finishing one bottle. Will the new variant give the same creamy or almost translucent complexion and faster results in as early as 2 weeks?

Worry-Free Back To School with Safeguard

     Back to school is an exciting season for me and my son. We are excited to shop for school supplies, lunch box, trolley bag, and other school essentials. Aside from the excitement, this season is also one of the seasons where I worry a lot because I'll not be able to look after my son once he steps outside the house.

     I'm a self-confessed clean freak and germs are my number one enemy. Call me paranoid and I'll accept it for the sake of my family's health. Germs are everywhere and I'm always in doubt with pencils, desks, notebooks, lunch boxes as these surfaces can unknowingly cause germs to spread and infect children easily. In order for me to have a peace of mind when Kenzo's not around, I always make sure that he is protected from head to toe. Let me share with you what keeps me worry-free because I know that my son is protected even when I'm not around after the jump!
