Product Review: MySlim Detox and Fat Burner Drink

     She's always on a diet, one of the few things that my very close friends and relatives would tell you if asked to describe me. It's true, I've been on a yo-yo diet almost half of my life. It all started during my elementary days when I realized that wearing a size 33 jeans and a very loose boy's shirt doesn't look good on photos. I became very conscious of my body-huge thighs (can't complain it's in the genes), flabby arms, bulging belly and don't forget the chubby cheeks. My self-esteem was very low and I veered away from attending parties and gathering where dressing up is a must. 

     From diet pills, to slimming teas, to fat reducing creams-gels-lotions, to protein shakes and foods that's designed to loose weight and machines that make you sweat without working out, name it I've tried it all. It's only during my pre and post pregnancy that I realized exercise and balanced diet is the key to have a healthy body. 

     So when I realized that I need to be healthy and practice clean living (less drinking and partying), there's still something wrong with me. I'm very dedicated when it comes to exercise, even if I'm very tired from mommy duties I still find time to burn fat through cardio and toning exercises. I don't eat rice, just meat and veggies for the longest time now. I sometimes indulge by having cheat days by drinking milk tea and eating pastries. So what's this "wrong thing" that I'm saying here. I still have some underlying fats that very stubborn and I don't know what to do. I don't want to go under the knife because it's very expensive and there's a downtime. 

     I've been searching for new trends in slimming and came across mySlim last year at 7-11 during my stay at NKTI where my father is having his dialysis. I'm so curious because this red bottle was very attractive and the words just got me sold. I consumed around 3 bottles for 2 weeks and the effect that it gave me was very different from the effects that I felt before. I wasn't able to track down my progress with mySlim since I'm very busy with my father's dialysis sessions. 

     Two months ago, our friends from Vida Nutri Science send me mySlim detox and fat burning drink and I'm very happy and excited because I know this product really works. They sent 2 boxes of mySlim in sachet form that I consumed for more than a month because I only drink 1-2 sachet every week. I'm so satisfied with the results, it gave me more energy to be on full blast and burned some stubborn fats on my body. Here's an excerpt from MySlim literature

Have a Blast! Burn Fat Fast with MySlim! Stress, the food we eat and other factors increase the amount of toxins in our body. Toxins prevent our bodies from functioning properly; losing weight is particularly difficult if you have a lot of toxins. Not to worry, mySlim has created a delicious and refreshing drink that does these three things: detoxify, boost energy and burn fat. The science behind this sugar-free drink is in these three key ingredients: Palatinose, Carnipure and EFLA920.

     It seems like losing weight is only fun when you're already losing it, not when you're just starting. Do you see any commercials showing overweight girls having fun in a gym or rocking it out on a yoga mat? Nope. But that is the reality. Otherwise, you wouldn't be thinking of buying a fat burner. But mySlim has you in mind. It knows you're shy with the kind of body you have now. And you want to lose some weight before you sign up for gym or for that zumba class. You want a little less jiggle before you start jogging. mySlim is formulated to help you detoxify and burn fat even when you're just doing your daily activities like work, cleaning your apartment, having coffee with friends, etc. To see how MySlim works, click here :)

What I don't like:

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 recommendation. Even if I'm not drinking this everyday, I feel the effect of mySlim in boosting my energy and burning fat. It's not an appetite suppressant kind of drink that's why you can still enjoy eating but it will help you burn more calories because of the energy it can give you. I'm leaving this post with an inspiration photos from individuals who lost weight with MySlim. 

Look good, feel better, bet your best! 

     MySlim can help you gain confidence to START your weight loss journey because you lose weight just by doing your every day activities. Remember, don't think this is a license to overeat, you will cancel the effects if you eat more than you used to. And when you have lost some weight, you'll be more confident to engage in physical activity where mySlim can help you lose even more weight.

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.

price: 94 php (Around $2.30+)

place bought: free

Available at Sesou Nature Source, South Supermarket, ECHOstore and Cash and Carry

instruction for use: Wash your body and apply the Beauty and Bright serum bar, wait for 5 minutes to allow enough time for the skin to absorb the extract then rinse thoroughly.

What I like:

• It's organic!
• 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.
• The MILDEST among all the organic/natural soaps that I've tried. Doesn't sting my eyes. Even if I leave the lather for more than 5 minutes there's no stinging or burning sensation on my face and body. 
• My skin feels soft and velvety smooth 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.
• This variant is 2 in 1, whitening and anti-aging for the price of 1 bar. 
• 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 stretch marks on my abdomen appeared a little lighter in terms of color intensity than before. 
• 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 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 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 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!~

Collective Haul (January, February and March)

    Hellos! I would like to share my recent and not so recent skin care and makeup haul. I decided to make this post collective so that you'll not get bored of seeing same products that I buy to replenish my skin care essentials every month. I already posted my review of BYS Lipstick and Eskinol Spot-less Facial Cleanser before this haul post, I know it should be haul first before review but it's better late than never right?

     Most of the items here are my favorites like All Organics Lemongrass Toner, Snoe white The Special Black Bleaching Bar, Quick FX Pimple Eraser, Purederm Facial Wipes and Nivea Extra Whitening Lotion. Just click on the link for full review of each product. 

ESKINOL Spot-less White Facial Cleanser
All Organics Lemongrass Toner
BYS Lipstick in Champagne Rain
Snoe white The Special Black Bleaching Bar

      My recent skin care buddy is the Eskinol Spot-less White Facial Cleanser. It's my 2nd bottle now and I'm loving how it removes deep seated dirt while making dark spots and blemishes less visible than before. 

QUICK FX Pimple Eraser
Purederm Makeup Cleansing Tissues

     Great news for Quick FX Pimple Eraser users. The old packaging has been replaced with this one that has a resealable cap. No more worries of contamination and spillage! 

NIVEA Whitening Cell Repair
Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Off Beat Pink

     I already  made a review of Nivea Whitening Cell Repair Protect and this is my favorite lotion of all time. Since it's summer and I'm always outdoors, I decided to try this variant because it's suitable for frequent sun exposure. I also bought a new lipstick and this time from Ever Bilena, heard it's a dupe for MAC Pink Noveau. Let's see how this will look on my pigmented lips. Will post swatch and review in a week's time.

Tony Moly Baby Doll Pot Concealer 01
Tony Moly Dear Me Petite Cotton BB Cream 01

     Yay! My first full-size, unused bb cream :) I'm a bb cream addict. I started using bb creams 4 years ago and tried more than 10 brands. It's a trial and error experience. Even if I found my HG bb creams- Skin79, Skinfood, Laneige and Kate to name a few, I still feel the need to look for something new. I guess that's the reason why I don't buy full-sized bb creams. This concealer is my lemming and finally got my own pot already. I've read positive reviews about this concealer, will road test the product for a week or two before sharing my own review. 

     Basically that's it for now. Leave a comment below if you use the same skin care and makeup products. Have you joined my giveaways yet? Click here to join ^_^

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.
