BENCH PAINT BOX INTENSE EYELINER REVIEW

      Hello everyone I'm back with my review on a pen eyeliner which I purchased recently. This pen eyeliner is a product from one of the famous brands here in the Philippines, BENCH. Are you ready? Let's start.

          Bench paint box has variety of products available on their list. These products claim to have a promising result. Now, let's review one of Bench Paint Box product which is the Bench Paint Box Intense Eyeliner. I purchased it for Php 159.00 pesos only so it's not that tight on the budget. But per pen only has 1 mL in it; need to apply enough on the eye for it to last quite a while. There are two variants of this intense eyeliner; brown and black. But black is much better for that fiercer look and brown looks like greyish and not literally brown in color.

PRODUCT CLAIMS

          A waterproof, liquid eyeliner that delivers excellent color pay-offs and stays for more than 12 hours.

PACKAGING

          The pen eyeliner comes with a gray, black and gold packaging. There's nothing special with it that it could not make your eyes pop-up. It's like the usual pen eyeliner available in the market which claims to give amazing results.

              It looks like this:


         Talking about the tip of it, it comes with a felt tip eyeliner but the felt tip is bendable which is great. Through the use of the bendable felt tip eyeliner, anyone could control the eyeliner when they tried to apply it on their eyes. I presume, there is a greater chance that applying the eyeliner on their eyes is a piece of cake; even beginners can make it almost perfect too.

           This is how it looks like and swatches:



SMELL

            It's funny that I include how it smells like. Ha-ha! But yes, I just did. Anyway, it smells like a bavarian cream with a menthol thingy. Funny isn't it? I smell it more than thrice to really dig in on what it smells like and yes, the ones that I mentioned earlier is what it smells closely like.

PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

          I was so excited to try it out, to be honest, since I think it's a nice product. When I applied it on my eyes and try to achieve that fiercer look, I love how the felt tip can make an amazing result. I could control the eyeliner pen so easily. What I also love with it is that it's very pigmented. When I glide the eyeliner here, it will follow on my hands command without leaving any trace of inobedience. It may not dry so fast but still, it's worth the wait. The eyeliner looks so nice on the eyes and it doesn't smudge when rub lightly. Not to mention when rub with pressure, it would surely come off.

          Talking about the product claims, I don't agree that it's a waterproof eyeliner since the moment I tried putting water on my swatch, it easily removed. But I agree that it will surely last long but without rubbing off with hands or in contact with water.

             So far, this product performs well except that it's not water proof. So, if you're too sweaty, try thinking twice if you would want to try it.

RATING

Quality: 4/5 
Price: 4/5 
Effectiveness: 4/5 
Availability: 4/5 

WOULD I REPURCHASE THE PRODUCT?

            Probably. I'll think about it again when the product is already empty.

WOULD I RECOMMEND THE PRODUCT?

        I’m inclined to recommend this product to those people who wants to try pigmented intense eyeliner at a fair price. But if your face sweat easily, think twice since it's not waterproof.

            Thank you for reading and passing by on my blog. Feel free to come back for my next review. God bless!

WATSONS GEL EYE MASK WOW ME OUT WITH ELASTIC BAND REVIEW

             Complying school requirements is so stressful. Burning midnight candles almost all the time to finish all the works before the deadline. It’s a hassle for me since I only have few hours of sleep. Then problems on my eyes are coming in. It becomes tired looking and dark eye bags start to shopw up. It’s a problem for me since I look like a zombie anymore.

             I look for ways. I tried the cutting of cucumbers and placing it on my eyes until the coldness vanished. I find it helpful because it somewhat makes my eyes feel refresh but it doesn’t really whiten the dark eye bags down my eyes. I find it a hassle sometimes when there’s no cucumber left anymore and I have to buy another set of cucumbers for my eyes.

             I have read articles saying that gel eye mask is helpful to bring back the tired-free, puffy-free eyes everyone always wanted. It gives an impact on me knowing that it could help me with the problem I’m in. Plus knowing that the gel mask will be refrigerated and place on the eyes, it might as well lighten my dark circles.

         As I was looking for beauty products in Watsons, I find out that they have a gel eye mask available; WATSONS GEL EYE MASK WOW ME OUT WITH ELASTIC BAND. With a drop of a hat, I bought it at Php 89.50 since I was really excited and I really hope that it could help me with my tired eyes and dark circle problems. 

PRODUCT CLAIMS

          This soothing gel mask can be used warm or chilled and is a must for tired, swollen or sore eyes, headaches or nasal congestion.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

           For a refreshing treat, place gel mask in the refrigerator for approximately one hour, or in a freezer for 20 minutes. For a more soothing relaxation treatment, immerse gel mask in about 40 degrees Celsius (not boiling) water for approximately 5 minutes. Test the temperature before applying to the face.

CARE AND SAFETY ADVICE

           Do not warm this product in boiling water or microwave oven. Do not use on irritated, infected, damaged or broken skin. People with diabetes, circulatory disease, infections, skin disorders, eye injuries etc should consult their doctor before use. For external use only. Do not puncture. If contents come into contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Consult a doctor if irritation persists. Keep out of reach of children. Do not swallow the content of the pack.

PACKAGING

               The cellophane where the gel eye mask is placed is thick, so the mask is really protected. On the back it stated there the product claims, directions for use, warnings, manufacturer, bar code and where it’s made from. 

            In terms of the gel eye mask itself, I love it since its cut really fits on my eyes. Plus there is an elastic band to hold the gel eye mask on the eyes. It’s a good thing since you don’t have to struggle on placing it on the eyes plus holding it.  

              This is how the product looks like:



             The gel mask is so soft. I get so addicted on pinching it. I can’t help it. Ha-ha!

PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

            I was surprised knowing that the product has many uses just like for tired, swollen or sore eyes and is also good for headaches or nasal congestion which is a good thing. When I first use the product I was really excited since there is a hope that my tired eyes and dark circles will be eliminated. 

          I follow what is instructed on the directions. When I placed it on my eyes, I have that refreshing feeling; it's cold anyway. It’s like I’m on a very conducive place while my gel eye mask is on. The moment the coldness of the gel mask has vanished, I dn’t notice something on my eyes but redness, maybe because of the coldness of the mask.

            On my 1 month of using it twice a week, I somewhat sense a significant change on my eyes. It’s not that tired looking anymore and dark circles are quite reduced. Maybe the vacation also helps because I could sleep enough hours already.

           WATSONS GEL EYE MASK WOW ME OUT WITH ELASTIC BAND is a nice product at affordable price plus it’s durable with proper use. With an affordable price, many things can be solved just like tired eyes, headaches, etc. It’s really a great product plus it’s not disposable just unlike the organic cucumbers. You can always reuse this eye mask.

RATING
  • Quality: 4.25/5 
  • Price: 4.5/5 
  • Effectiveness: 3.75/5

WOULD I REPURCHASE IT?

SILKA FACIAL CLEANSER IN AVOCADO REVIEW

         Hello everyone! As what I’ve said on my previous review, I’m having a problem on skin dryness due to lack of water intake. I always envy those people who have oily face. They don’t feel the struggle of having a dry one. But it’s so ironic that those who have oily skin want to have a dry skin. Ha-ha! Why is that?

             I decided to buy another facial cleanser. I unexpectedly purchased this cleanser, which I'm about to review, since I was in a hurry that time and it has a same color on my old cleanser. I didn’t realize that the purpose of the cleanser I bought is different from my old one. Howbeit, I’m happy that I mistakenly purchased this cleanser since its purpose is useful on my problem.

            SILKA FACIAL CLEANSER IN AVOCADO is what I’m talking about. This facial cleanser is for dry skin which is perfect for my problem. I bought it on the price of Php 36.75 at 150 mL. I have tried other Silka facial cleansers before in Calamansi, Cucumber and Green Papaya. The Calamansi and Cucumber give me breakouts which I certainly don’t like while the Green Papaya fits my skin but only act as a cleanser and nothing else. 

PRODUCT CLAIMS
  • Skin nourished by Silka, skin so clean, so silky soft
  • Silka Avocado Facial Cleanser is effectively formulated to gently wash away dirt from your skin making it look fresher and cleaner.
  • It is formulated with Avocado extract and Provitamin B5 that gently moisturizes your skin leaving it soft and supple. Its pH balanced formula helps restore skin’s natural pH level. With continue use, skin will be visibly fresher and younger looking.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

           Moisten a piece of cotton with Silka Avocado Facial Cleanser. Gently apply on face and neck until thoroughly cleansed, may also be used on arms and legs. For best results, use twice daily, in the morning and before bedtime.

PACKAGING

           There’s nothing special with the container since it’s like other facial cleanser bottle wherein the cap is on the top, there is a sticker on the front which states the name of the cleanser is on its use and on the back the sticker that states its product claims, directions for use, tips, barcode, manufacturer, ingredients and mL. On the bottom of the container, there are numbers but I presume those are neither manufacturing date nor expiration date.

              This is how the bottle looks like:

Front
Back

             On the product itself, it’s liquid and doesn’t contain any floating thing in it. It’s like other facial cleanser which bubbles when shaken. 

SMELL

              I could say that the cleanser doesn’t produce any harsh fragrance which can irritate the skin. It smells good and it’s just mild. I think it's gentle on the nose also. Even though it states that it’s avocado flavour, I can’t smell any avocado smell there.

PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

           The moment I realized that I get the wrong kind of cleanser, I was hesitant first since I’m afraid that it might give me breakouts. I’m afraid of breakouts because they ruin everything. But I have no choice then so I tried it. The very first moment I used the cleanser, I could feel that it doesn’t just make my skin squeaky clean, but it also makes my skin so soft and supple. I think I agree with the product claims, it really does work. 

            I could still remember that time when one of my closest friends told me that my skin is no longer dry anymore and that surprises me. I wasn’t expected that there is a significant change on my skin. 

           As what I’ve observed after 1 month of using this cleanser is that, it made my pores quite unnoticeable. Plus it makes my skin glowing, moisturized and supple. I was really surprised by the unexpected result. I really have those 360 degrees of satisfaction with this cleanser. It’s really effective on my skin I could say. Plus the fresher face look is just awesome. 

            I’m glad knowing that this cleanser help in resolving my dry skin face problem and knowing that it's not harsh on the skin is also a plus points.

RATING
  • Quality: 5/5 
  • Price: 5/5 
  • Effectiveness: 5/5 
  • Availability: 5/5 

WOULD I REPURCHASE THE PRODUCT?

           Yes of course. With the unexpected results it gives on my skin, I would probably purchase it again and again. But if they change formulation and doesn’t give the same good results, maybe that’s where I wouldn’t purchase it again.

WOULD I RECOMMEND THE PRODUCT?

            I’m inclined to recommend this product to those people who are having dry skin problem. I know the struggle of having one and I’m willing to help you by this product. However, we have different skin types so whatever fits for me, may or may not fit for you.

            Thank you for reading and passing by on my blog. Feel free to come back for my next review. God bless!

MYRA VITAQUENCH ULTRA HYDRATING HAND AND BODY LOTION REVIEW

          Hello everyone! I’m back with another product to review on; lotion to be specific. I know this brand is not new to you and I already reviewed some of their products here in my repository. So, let’s start!

      I’m not the always-drinking-water-time-to-time kind of person which leads on my skin feeling dehydrated. Yeah, I know it’s a problem since I look old for my skin. Plus the scorching heat of the sun makes me tear a million dew and it yields on my skin feeling dry. 

          You might think that I’m supposed to drink a thousand gallons of water a day due to the throat drying weather; summer season feels! Unfortunately, I’m not. I cry thumbtacks and nails. Hu-hu! I get used to playing computer games or scrolling newsfeed or checking my other social media accounts and set aside the needs of my body. I know, I’ve been so abusive and it’s so sad.

           The moment I realized my body’s worth and see the problem, I then start doing a move on how to resolve the problem. I started to hydrate myself a lot; drink at least 8 glass of water a day. And then I think that lotion might help me bring back that dehydrated skin look, so I search for a lotion that fits.

         That’s where I saw this MYRA VITAQUENCH ULTRA HYDRATING HAND AND BODY LOTION inside a drugstore in our place. I’ve tested before that Myra products doesn’t contain harsh chemicals then so I give it a try plus the eye-popping product claims make me buy it with a drop of a hat. I’m really hoping this could help. I bought it for Php 124.50 pesos and it comes in a 200 mL bottle.

PRODUCT CLAIMS

  • Help nourish dry skin to keep it healthy and young-looking
  • Has Hydrating Complex and ProMoisture formula to help keep dry skin deeply moisturized
  • Has bursting beads enriched with antioxidant Vitamin E that gets absorbed into the skin to protect and nourish it
  • Hypoallergenic and Dermatologist-tested; your assurance that it is effective and safe
  • Has a light and non-greasy formula, making it ideal for everyday use

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

           Apply all over your body particularly on dry areas. Use after every shower or bath when the skin is still damp to lock in moisture. For best results, use daily in the morning and at night.

          Holistic Skin Care Tip: Younger looking skin lasts longer when you take care of it inside and out. Take Myra capsule to renew damaged cells from the inside then apply Myra lotion to nourish it.

PACKAGING

          There’s nothing special with the packaging, it’s like the other Myra Vitawhite lotion which I used before. But this comes with a light blue color. The opening is on the bottom and it still comes with a thick container which is not quite travel-friendly since it adds weight on the bag. 

          On the font it states Myra moniker and the type of lotion and on the bottom part of the sticker they put the purpose of the lotion. On the back of the bottle it states there the product claims, directions for use, Skin care tip, Warnings, Ingredients, barcode, manufacturer and expiration date which is very important. It’s from the Trusted Quality Healthcare, Unilab.

           This is how the packaging looks like:

Front

Back

         When we talk about the lotion itself, it’s like other Myra product with contains orange beads which they said to be Vitamin E which will help in nourishing the skin on the outside. I love it since it has this Vitamin E which could help my skin.

            This is how the lotion looks like:



SMELL

         I love the smell of the lotion. It doesn’t sting and it’s pleasing to the nose. The scent is so familiar but I don’t know where I smelt the counterpart of it. But sure thing, it smells so nice.

PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

            I’ve been using the lotion for almost 3 weeks now. What I love about the lotion is that it’s non-greasy when applied to the skin. Plus the lotion is easily absorbed by the skin and it feels so light. My skin feels so moisturized after applying it. I love how the lotion doesn’t give any uncomfortable feeling on me.

            Since this lotion is said to help in hydrating the skin, let’s talk on that matter. On my 3 weeks of usage of the product, I notice significant result. It makes my skin quite hydrated. But with the help of drinking enough water also. Now, my skin looks quite moisturized.

            I don’t see any negative side on the product since it works well, dermatologist-tested and it’s also budget friendly. But it would be better if they put SPF on it so that aside from making the skin more hydrated, it also helps as protection against the sun. Plus adding a whitening formula would also be a big WOW. But it’s not a big deal for me as of now. I only wanted to make my skin look hydrated. Anyways, nothing will work overnight so I will continue using this product and I will observe the result on a gradual process. But so far, I love how this product works.

RATING
  • Quality: 5/5 
  • Price: 4.75/5 
  • Effectiveness: 4.5/5 
  • Availability: 5/5 

          So far, MYRA VITAQUENCH ULTRA HYDRATING HAND AND BODY LOTION delivers its promise to hydrate the skin. With just 3 weeks of usage, I could see a significant result already, how much more if I continue using it. Howbeit, sticking to the affectivity of the product alone will not yield on the expected result, it’s always important to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. 

WOULD I REPURCHASE IT?

           Probably YES, since it doesn’t contains harsh chemical that could damage the skin.

WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?

         YES, I highly recommend the product since it somewhat help me in making my skin hydrated. However, even though the product doesn’t contain harsh chemicals, it’s important to do the patch test first to know if the product is sensitive to your skin or not. Moreover, we have different types of skin; what works on me, may or may not work for you.

         I hope this post helps. Stay tune for my next review. Thanks you for reading and have a nice day!
