Product Review: Beauty and Bright Facial and Body Lightening Moringa Soap

     Hello dearies! Happy Easter to everyone :) Today I'm going to share my thoughts on Beauty and Bright Facial and Body Lightening Moringa soap. I know this review took almost 2 months but I'm confident and happy to share it to you because it's not only me who used the soap religiously. I convinced my husband to try soap because I noticed his left arm has uneven skin tone because of driving without any protection around 10 a.m. everyday. He's not using sunblock or any kind of clothing to protect his skin. Before I decided to use this soap, he's already using it for more than 2 weeks. I'm very impressed because I really saw the improvement and told him his arm was getting lighter everyday. If I can only post his before and now photos, I will but his very shy and didn't want to take part in my blog post. I hope it's okay for you, his a very private person and I understand his reasons for that. Anyhoo, I noticed some changes on the intensity of dark mosquito bites on my legs after 3 weeks of using the soap religiously. I also have a blister on my right ankle that's very dark and now it looks soft and a bit lightened. 

     So will not blabber too much and let me share my honest to goodness review of Beauty and Bright  Facial and Body Lightening Moringa Soap. If you're a bit skeptical on Beauty and Bright, you can also view another review of their Skin Lightening and Anti-Aging Serum bar that I love to bits! 

    Your skin has to endure daily stress caused by your busy schedule, pollution and unhealthy habits. relieve your skin with Beauty and Bright Moringa Soap. The moment you apply the soap to your wet skin, you will feel the relaxation coming from the essential oils and beautifying extracts.

Beauty and Bright Facial and Body Lightening Moringa Soap
SEVEN BEAUTIFYING ACTIVES:

MORINGA EXTRACT- This extract is rich in Vitamin A that helps build more collagen in the skin. Moringa is also rich in Vitamin C that naturally lightens our skin.
PAPAYA- Our soap has more concentration of papaya enzymes than your regular papaya soap. Papaya helps skin in renewal and exfoliation.
KOJIC ACID- The acid is derived from mushroom and has been known to lighten pigmentation and freckles. Kojic acid is nature's best bleaching ingredient- your best alternative to harmful bleaching chemicals.
CAMELLIA JAPONICA, CANDEIA TREE and OXALIS TRIANGULARIS- The combination of three oils has been proven to inhibit the synthesis of melanin (which causes our skin to darken and create discoloration)

Beauty and Bright Facial and Body Lightening Moringa Soap

These extracts remained untreated throughout the whole process. You can always be assured that you are enjoying the highest quality of an all- natural soap."

What I like:

• It's organic!
• The price- it's affordable for 100php + that will not melt even if it's soft and took almost two months to finish.
• It's amazing how it can withstand the weather. It's summer and the heat is insane. There's no sign of melting or changes in size and shape. 
• The scent- it's minty, love the smell of this soap because everytime I use it I feel very relaxed.
• Produces a thick and creamy lather that applies very smooth on skin.
• My skin feels soft and squeaky clean after every wash. There's a tight feeling on my face but not too tight. 
• I can see a glow on my face and smaller pores when I looked in the mirror.
• Exfoliates well.
• Contains 7 LIGHTENING/BEAUTIFYING agents in 1 bar. 
• Doesn't made my skin dry after bath. If you're a long time user of whitening soaps, natural, organic or not you'll notice there's a bit of drying after use.
• Made some dark spots and blemishes caused by pimples appear lighter after a month of everyday use. 
• The packaging is very neat and simple. The box is loaded with information. Everything you need to know about the soap is printed on the box. 
• Complete batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the box.
• Did I mention it's affordable? I'll just make it cheap- after a month of using the soap on my face and body, there's an approximate of 1/3 bar left on my soap dish. 

What I don't like:

• None!

Will I repurchase? YES, definitely!

Recommendation:

     I give this soap a 4.75/5 rating. If you ask me why not 5/5, I have to be honest that I'm not a fan of soaps that has cooling sensation. The minty feel is a plus for now because it's summer but if I'm going to use this during cold months, methinks will not let the lather stay on my skin for 5 minutes. But nonetheless, this soap performs great and same as the Beauty and Bright Skin Lightening and Anti-Agin Serum Bar. You can use the soap as is, no need to cut into half. Don't worry, it's very soft to touch but it will not melt unlike other organic soaps that I've tried. I highly recommend this specially now the heat is insane. If you want to lighten your skin and relax while taking a bath at the same time, I highly recommend this soap. Le hubby loves it too, it's the first time he asked me where to buy this kind of soap :)

     What's your current skin lightening soap? Any thoughts on Beauty and Bright? Thanks guys!

Good Times!~

Product Review: Beauty and Bright Skin Lightening and Anti-Aging Serum Bar

     I'm very excited to share this review because this is my first brand of organic anti-aging soap to date. I just turned 30 last January and even if I'm 5 years late in my anti-aging regimen ( 25 years old is the recommended age for using anti-aging products) methinks it's not too late to add one or two age-defying product in my skincare essentials. So I'm starting it with an anti-aging soap for the face and body. But this is not just an ordinary soap, it's a serum bar from Beauty and Bright. I guess you got intrigued with the word "serum", I also got curious because this is the first time I encountered the word "serum bar". I've seen the word serum on creams and lotions but not with soap. At first I was skeptical if the soap will produce the same kind of lather that a regular soap can give. But I'm more interested in the list of natural ingredients contained in this serum bar because it's not only anti-aging, it's also a whitening soap so that's two benefits in one! 

     After more than a month of using this serum bar religiously on my face and body, I'm very impressed with the results. I decided to stop using my current faves (snoe white soaps) just to see if it's really effective. I can attest to the effectiveness of this serum bar because 1 month is long enough for me to see the pros and cons of a product especially bath soaps. Please visit this page: Beauty and Bright for more details and product information. 

     Here's my take on Beauty and Bright Skin Lightening and Anti- Aging Serum bar, a must try product that's safe and effective. Now you can have beautiful, brighter and younger skin the natural way :)

     Beauty and Bright is not  your ordinary herbal soap because it is also a serum bar. The moment that you apply the soap to your body, you will feel the thick serum embracing your skin. The natural serum is loaded with essential oils, skin nutrients and a high-concentration of the world's most proven skin-lightening and anti-aging ingredients. Let it stay on your skin for five minutes before washing off thoroughly and see the improvements in your skin after regular use.

Beauty and Bright Skin Lightening and Anti-Aging Serum Bar

TRIPLE LIGHTENING INGREDIENTS:
PAPAYA- Our soap has more concentration of papaya enzymes than your regular papaya soap. Papaya helps skin in renewal and exfoliation.
KOJIC ACID- The acid is derived from mushroom and has been known to lighten pigmentation and freckles. Kojic acid is nature's best bleaching ingredient- your best alternative to harmful bleaching chemicals.
LEMON EXTRACT- Another potent skin -lightening ingredient which is rich in Vitamin C. The concentration of lemon extract in our soap helps reduce the formation of melanin.

TRIPLE ANTI-AGING INGREDIENTS:
MORINGA EXTRACT- The extract is rich in Vitamin A that helps build more collagen in the skin.
ACAI BERRY- One of the most powerful anti-oxidants known. The Acai Berry extract is rich in anthocyanins and phytosterols that protect the skin from sagging. The phytosterols in Acai berry is known as collagen protector.
LACTIC ACID- Rich in Alpha Hydroxy Acid that moisturizes the skin and reduces irritation caused by deep exfoliation.

• The price- it's affordable, less than 100 php for a 130g gram of serum bar that's packed with all the goodness that nature has to offer!
• The scent- sweet but not overpowering, there's a hint of fruity scent like those of grape flavored juice.
• Produces a thick and creamy lather that applies very smooth to skin.

Will I repurchase? YES, definitely!

Recommendation:

     I give this soap a 5/5 rating. This is my first organic anti-aging serum bar and I'm very much impressed with the performance. I'm adding this variant now on my bath essentials. A little word of caution, even if this soap contains all natural ingredients I still advise you to use this on a small part of your body first. If there's no negative reaction, redness or irritation occur use this soap as instructed. Remember that natural products can also cause allergic reactions in some individuals. I have a very sensitive skin that's prone to redness and irritation. I'm glad I didn't experience negative reaction from the very first use. I highly recommend this serum bar ^_^

     Do you use anti-aging soaps right now? Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful week guys!

Good Times!~

Feature: Beauty and Bright Natural Skin Lightening Soaps

     I'm a huge fan of organic and natural products particularly organic bath soaps. They're my skin's bestest friend. If my memory serves me right, I've tried 5 brands already. These include Cyleina, Bare Naturals, All Organics and Snoe. Most of these brands offer a wide array of variants depending on your skin need. I've also tried Camaru Naturals but their charcoal soap was too harsh for my sensitive skin. If you're a long time reader of this blog, I'm sure you know how much I love All Organics and Snoe White. Their soaps became a staple skin care product for my face and body. Even though I've already found my HG (holy grail), I still need something that will complete the list of ingredients that my aging skin needs. 

     There's a new player in town! Introducing Beauty and Bright by Droplets of Nature. If you'll ask me what's the difference of these soaps from the ones that I've tried before, my answer will be based on their ingredients and the serum bar. Intrigued much? I'm using the serum bar for more than 3 weeks now but before I share my thoughts about Beauty and Bright, it's best to know why I think their soap is very promising ;)

SWITCH to NATURAL! 

The combination of the Three Power Oils that is more effective than arbutin but safer than hydroquinone? 

The first bar: The light purple bar shows the percentage of melanin control when you use the power oils , hydroquinone or arbutin.

The second bar: The darker purple shows the increase in the percentage of melanin reduction when you increase the percentage of power oils , hydroquinone (HQ) or arbutin. While HQ may give you the fastest result to lighten- it is NEVER safe. You can not go under the sun because by doing that may cause an irreversible damage to your skin. Aside from that, HQ is very toxic- You CAN NOT increase its concentration because it can be very harmful to the skin.

Beauty and Bright Facial Lightening Moringa Soap

     Relive the tradition of using moringa soap as a natural antiseptic, and experience it as a beautifying extract, together with other extracts from Camellia, Candeia Extract and Love Plant. The combination of these extracts has been proven to lighten the skin in 4 weeks

Beauty and Bright Skin Lightening Body Soap & Anti- Aging Serum Bar

     This is not a SOAP- this a serum bar =) Naturally formulated and rich with skin lightening and anti-aging actives.

Product Review: Snoe White Lightening Licorice Beauty Bar

     If there's one thing in my bath staple that I can't live without now, that would probably bath soaps. Not one but two variants of beauty bars to be exact. Obviously I'm hooked with organic soaps and when I say organic soap, without a doubt Snoe white is the brand that I trust. Again, I'm using these beauty bars for more than a year now. I just mix and match each variant depending on my skin needs. Using these soaps doesn't mean my skin is perfect and flawless. I have fair skin to begin with and having a fair skin should not be coined as flawless. Yes, my skin tone is fair to light (I'm NC 15-20) but my skin is very sensitive with uneven tone, blemishes and freckles. So before you say that I'm lucky to have this complexion, I'm telling you that I'm not. I also have skin care problems that I mentioned above and as years pass by my skin tends to become more and more sensitive.

     Since my problem is to even out my skin tone and lighten dark spots, I need a soap that is made for sensitive skin. Do you love reading product labels? If you do, then I guess you already know that using whitening soap can make your skin very sensitive. That's why some of the trusted brands in the market include warning labels/precaution in using the soap. I noticed that most whitening soaps in the market today contain harsh ingredients that's a no-no for sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin and you want to lighten blemishes and dark spots, Snoe white Lightening Licorice beauty bar is the soap that I would recommend to address those problems.

Snoe White Lightening Licorice Beauty Bar
No.4 Lightening Licorice Beauty Bar
For mild skin lightening, safe for sensitive skin. Has Glabridina substance that inhibits pigmentation by preventing Tyrosinase production. Brightens skin and delays skin aging while giving you that pinkish, radiant glow. Nourishes skin, the anti-inflammatory properties of licorice makes Licorice the best and mildest whitening ingredient for sensitive skin.

size: 150g.

price: 139.75 php (Around $3.25)- regular price

Got it on a Buy 1 Take 1 sale for 159 php 

place bought: Cinderella, Sm Fairview

instruction for use: wet skin, lather beauty bar and apply thoroughly. leave on skin for 2 minutes. expect a slight tingling or prickly sensation. rinse thoroughly. for best results use sunblock with spf30 after bathing.

Active Ingredients: Licorice Extract, Bearberry Extract, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E and C, High Grade Coconut Oil

What I like:

• It's organic!
• Cute and Fancy packaging.
• Doesn't melt fast.
• There's a little pinkish glow on my arms and legs. My skin is pale white but after using this soap for more than a month it's now a little pinkish white.
• Easily accessible~ Cinderella Sm Fairview carries Snoe products now!!! Yay :D
• Affordable.
• Has manufacturing and expiry date printed on packaging.

What I don't like:

• I can't figure out the smell. It's not overpowering but I can't tolerate it. The least appealing soap for me when it comes to the scent.
• Since this is a gentle in terms of whitening, you'll not see immediate results.

Will I repurchase? Maybe YES- if my skin becomes very sensitive and needs to rest. Maybe NO- if I want to lighten dark spots and uneven skin tone intensively. 

Recommendation:

     I give this soap a 4/5 rating. Use the soap as instructed. Always use sunblock with spf 30 or higher to protect your skin from the sun. Yay! This is the 6th Snoe White soap that I've tried to date. Among the 5 variants of Snoe:Vitamin C Rich Calamansi, Organic Green Papaya, The Special Black Bleaching Bar, Special Kojic and Glutathione and Organic Papaya Beauty Bar, this is the mildest that I've tried on my body. Didn't use this on my face because I broke out with licorice soap before from another brand. There's 10 Snoe white beauty bars to choose from so now I'm down to only 4. What variant do you want me to try next? 

     What SNOE variant combo do you think will suit your skin needs? Share away dearies :)

Good Times!~

Product Review: Snoe White Organic Papaya Beauty Bar

     Finally, I'll be sharing my thoughts on this soap after using it for more than 3 weeks now. You now that I love Snoe white soaps sooo much! This is my 5th variant of soap from Snoe and methinks their soap was formulated for my skin. From Vitamin C Rich Calamansi, Organic Green Papaya, The Special Black Bleaching Bar, Special Kojic and Glutathione soaps that I considered award-winning in terms of whitening department, here's another soap from Snoe to love. I'm also adding this soap on the list above because I also find this effective in terms of whitening but it's very gentle on skin. So if you're confused and don't know what soap to choose among the 10 variants, then Organic Papaya will be the best bet for sure. 

     When you visit the FB page of Snoe Beauty particularly on Snoe White beauty soaps, you'll see a chart where you can select a soap bar that can give you 2 or 3 results in just one bar. This chart already indicated the variant of soap depending on your skin needs. But always remember that each soap will have different reactions on each individual because we have different skin types and conditions. I'm hoping that you'll also consider some factors like your age and make sure you know if you're allergic to one of its ingredients so that you can have peace of mind in trying new soaps. Now here it is, my honest to goodness review of another soap that I'm sure you'll see on my next haul posts :D Enjoy reading!

NO.7  Organic Papaya Beauty Bar
Our papaya soap is made only from carefully hand-selected fresh papaya fruits to ensure effectively white skin. It gently exfoliates the skin to eliminate the dark pigmentation and blemishes for a fairer and whiter complexion.

What I like:

• It's organic!

• This soap is gentle even on my sensitive face even if I leave the lather for more than 2 minutes, no itchiness or redness. (But don't leave it for more than 3 minutes, it's always best to follow what's instructed, right?)
• There's a certain glow on my skin after use.

Product Review: Seriously White Glutathione Soap

     I'm an organic soap user for more than 3 years now if I'm not mistaken. When I started my love for organics specially soap bars, I try to veered away from branded soaps sold in the market. Even though there are times that they catch my attention because of the ingredients written on it, I still try to find a way to avoid it. But sometimes my curiosity fangs can't be tamed. The more I tame it, the more I get intrigued with a certain thing which keeps on swirling in my mind and can't sleep thinking about it. So to feed my curiosity, I need to get my hands on it. 

     Well in the case of this product, I got curious when I saw a brochure at my sister-in-law's room. The direct selling company was new to me so I immediately browse it and saw different skincare and beauty products. Aside from AVON, Splash Corporation- the makers of Maxipeel also ventured on direct selling and this is their mission-vision.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Splash-Direct-Sales/155440524517337?sk=info

     When I saw this soap from the brochure, I was discussing to my SIL that I'm having second thoughts of trying new soap again because I don't want to suffer from the negative result it may give. I also read that there's a SUN BURN ALERT written on the packaging. But because of that alert, it also gave me an idea that the soap was very intensive when it comes to whitening. I ignored it that day but when I went back at my SIL's house the next day, she handed me the soap already. I was really hesitant at first but the doubts were replaced with my curiosity. So I accepted it and said to myself may the odds be in my favor :)

      I have a confession to make, sometimes I lose my patience on reviewing skin care products. It takes time and so much effort to use a certain product so that I can see the results. I really want to test it for weeks even for months because that's the time when I'll see significant results on my skin and body. It's also like a gamble, you will never know the result. Just try it and see for yourself. But I'm happy because I can share the good and the bad of the product with you. I'm just lucky because most of them gave positive outcome on my skin.

• I'm not a fan of smell. Commercial brand soaps have this kind of smell that pisses me off.
• Haven't seen significant changes on my skin tone. I'm fair to begin with and I just want to lighten dark spots caused by mosquito bites on my legs.
• You need to use sunblock cause the  ingredients like AHA, retinol and some whitening stuff may cause sunburn when exposed to sun. So you have really have to be cautious using this soap.
• You have to look for a reseller and sometimes, they're 1 in a million. Just kidding! Since Splash direct selling is a newbie compared to AVON, the Splash ladies (if that's the way to call them) are still few.

Will I repurchase? No, there's sooo many brands of soap readily available in leading supermarkets and I'm more into organic now :)

Recommendation:

     I give this soap a 3.5/5 rating. Use the soap as instructed. Not to be used for sensitive skin. This product contains an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that may increase the skin's sensitivity to sun and the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear a protective clothing and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards. So take extra precautions and always follow instructions while using this soap.

     Have you tried this soap from Splash? Any thoughts?

Product Review: Snoe White Special Kojic and Glutathione Combo Beauty Bar

     Hi there! This will be a quick post for today. I'm squeezing in this review before doing mommy duties because Kenzo will be up in no time now and he'll be watching cartoons till sunrise on YT. 

     I really love Snoe! I'm using 3 variants of Snoe white beauty bar for more than 6 months now. I can say it's really effective especially in giving my skin the glow it needs. I'm currently using Vitamin C Rich Calamansi, Special Black Bleaching and Organic Green Papaya. I use them alternately depending on my mood or when I want to target specific problems in my face and body. Just click here, here and here if you want to read my reviews and see which one is my fave.

     Red is one of my favorite colors. That's why I got sold when I saw this variant of Snoe white soap at Cinderella, Sm Farview. Aside from the color, I'm sure that kojic-gluta combination is a must try. These 2 powerful whitening ingredients will surely give the boost that my skin needs- in the whitening department per se. Since I'm already fair, I want to even out some parts of my body that's always exposed to the heat of the sun.

• Exfoliates really well compared to other Snoe soaps that I've tried.
• There's a certain glow on my skin after use.
• Doesn't dry my skin.
• Easily accessible~ Cinderella Sm Fairview carries Snoe products now!!! Yay :D
• Affordable

What I don't like:

• No batch, manufacturing and expiry date. 

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:
     I give this soap a 4.75/5 rating. Use the soap as instructed. Not to be used for sensitive skin. Always use sunblock with spf 30 or higher to protect your skin from the sun. There's 10 variants of Snoe white soaps to try and it's formulated to cater every skin need. I already tried and tested 4 of them and I'm sure that I'll be trying another variant soon. This soap is what I've used during my rest period from the special black bleaching bar. It's somehow milder and whitens gently. I highly recommend this soap, my skin loves it!

Good Times!~

Haul + Thank you Mama for this bag

     Hello loves! Been very busy last week hence lack of post. Have you joined my three giveaways yet? If not, click here, here and here to join :D I still have another giveaway coming this October so keep on checking for updates. I have so many things to share with you like another batch of winnings, haul posts, product reviews and the Lolita Fragrance Launch that I attended last week. So for this post, I wanna share with you my recent haul mostly skin care products like soaps and toner. A printed canvass bag that was given to me by my mom when I visited them weeks ago.

     My original plan was to restock on All Organics Lemongrass toner when I claimed my Laniege Snow BB Cushion at Trinoma. But I can't resists the urge to buy a bar of my favorite Calamansi soap even though I still have one in my closet (yes, I keep them in my closet so that my clothes will smell citrusy :P) and a new one in my soap dish.

Snoe white no. 10 Special Black Bleaching Bar

     I was in a hurry that day but when I passed by the Snoe counter, I decided to buy another bar of soap. The Special Black Bleaching bar was out of stock that day and the SA said that they already had a Snoe counter at Sm Fairview located inside Cinderella. Yehey!!! I can now buy my favorite soaps from Snoe anytime I want since SM Fairview is just 10 mins away from our house. 

Snoe white no.3 Special Kojic with Glutathione Beauty Bar

     Yay! Another soap from Snoe white, I heard Kojic and Glutathione combo is another way to effectively even out skin tone. Let's see if this will pass my standards when it comes to whitening department. I have high hopes with Snoe and I'm sure this will be another HG.

Genevieve Gozum Printed Canvass Bag

     My mon gave me this shoulder/body bag when I visited them weeks ago. I'm not sure if this can pass as aztec or tribal in terms of the print. I still don't know what kind of outfit will suit this bag. Any suggestions from you will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot!!!

Good Times!~
