          It’s been a hot season here in our place and it results in making my skin looks so dry and dull. That’s why I ask my sister what to apply on my skin to bring back its moisture. I really felt sad that time since my skin doesn’t look so hydrated anymore. She then recommends me to try Jergens. From that moment, I ask my father to buy me “Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer” to try.  Later on, I am going to share to you my review on this product and how does it works on my skin.




          What does this product claims?

          Jergens Nourishes and heals: Jergens Ultra Healing Moisturizer helps you reveal deeply luminous, visibly healthier skin. This unique formula contains an illuminating HYDRALUCENCE blend, as well as enriching Vitamin C, E and B5. Penetrates through 5 layers of the skin’s surface to repair, heal and deeply nourish extra dry skin. Jergens Moisturizers are created to make a beautiful difference for your skin- a difference you can actually see, feel and experience. Restore your skin’s deep luminosity to reveal skin that’s never looked so beautiful.

          Jergens really make their product description or claims really interesting that anyone could read it will really be curious on trying it out. Jergens is also flaunting its Hydralucence which said to provide longer-lasting hydration for visibly enhanced skin tone, texture and luminosity, helps to eliminate dullness and dryness, by creating a continuous layer of moisture on your skin to prevent hydration loss and powerfully reflect light for more deeply luminous skin.

          This is how the packaging of the product looks like:


Front

Back
          As you can see, there’s nothing special with the bottle or even with the packaging design. It’s the usual bottle wherein the opening is on the upper part. But I love the color of the bottle since it’s like a goldy brown color. This product is 10 FL OZ or 295 mL. You can also buy smaller bottle in the market. They also have its cutest bottle.

          This product is dermatologist tested and it’s safe to use but I will give you the ingredients of the product for you to be aware and check if it doesn’t have unpleasing ingredients.

          INGREDIENTS. WATER, GLYCERIN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, PETROLATUM, STEARIC ACID, C12-15 ALKYL BENZOATE, AUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE, IMETHICONE, LAURETH-3, CETEARETH-20, DMDM HYDATON, ALLANTOIN, METHYLPARABEN, ARGININE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, PROPYLPARABEN, CARBOMER, FRAGRANCE, PANTHENOL, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, LECITHIN, ALCOHOL, ASCORBYL PALMITATE, TOCOPHEROL.

          What I don’t like with the ingredients is that it’s not paraben-free since it has methylparaben and propylparaben plus it has alcohol.

          This is how the lotion looks like:



          The lotion is like the usual color of lotion which is white. It looks non-sticky and looks like it can be easily apply to the skin. In terms of the smell, I don’t actually understand the smell of it. But when you will smell it, it’s mild and gentle to your nose. It doesn’t produce that harsh smell.

          Based on my experience with this product, it may look non-sticky but when I apply in on my skin, it’s not that easy to apply. I could also feel that sticky feeling after application. I really don’t like the hot feeling of the lotion after applying it. Yes, indeed it adds moisture to my skin but not totally. I used this product from November 2016 until December 2016. I stop using it since I can’t take the sticky feeling of the lotion anymore. I feel uncomfortable because of this lotion. As what the product claims that it could help reveal deeply luminous, visibly healthier skin, well, I think it didn’t make my skin that way. But I could see that there’s quite changes on my skin. It makes shinier. What I don’t like with this product is that it makes my skin looks darker since it doesn’t have SPF to protect my skin from skin damage. But it’s not the lotion’s fault anyway, it’s still my responsibility to use sunscreen since I know that it doesn’t have SPF. Before I forgot, I also like this lotion since it has Vitamins C, E and B5 which adds a great help to the skin.

          Overall, I didn’t regret on trying this product since it still adds positive impact on my skin, there are just reasons that I don’t like with it. I will still give 2 thumbs up with this product.

          Would I repurchase it? Probably, no.

          Would I recommend it? Yes of course. I will recommend this lotion to people who are suffering from skin dryness. We have different types of skin, so the results on me may not be the same as yours. To see is to believe, right? So, trying it out is a good thing.

          Jergens brand is really a nice lotion to try. It’s just that the lotion above doesn’t fit on my skin. I am very much willing to try other variants of Jergens lotion. And see it in myself if it works well.
          Thank you for taking your time on reading my review on Jergens lotion. I hope you learn something from this post.  God bless!

I have been a whitening enthusiast these days. I want to look and explore products that claim better results especially if it says that it can whiten the skin. Why I want to look fair and have white skin? I really envy those people who have fair and white skin. Why on earth I’m not blessed with that kind of skin though? But that doesn’t mean I don’t love what God has given me. I also love myself and the way I am but of course, I also love to try something new that could enhance the gift that God has given me. So now, since I want to try products that said to whiten the skin, I invest on buying them. I actually tried using this product way back when I started schooling in college. I don’t have a blog that time since I wasn’t able to give a review about it online. Later on I will also share to you my experience while using the product before and now. So, keep reading and learn more about the product I’m about to share.

Are you familiar with Kojic soap? Or should I ask, are you familiar with a product branding named Kojie San? If so, then great, since that’s the product I will review. Kojie San soap has 3 variants: Dream White, the one with orange color and the one for men. Now I will review on KOJIE SAN DREAM WHITE ANTI-AGING SOAP. Perhaps you’ve been wondering why I said earlier that I’m going to review on a whitening soap where in fact, the featured on this soap is anti-aging. Later on, you’ll find out!




This is how the packaging looks like:





As you can see, it has a very simple packaging that has the combination of blue, white and black. There is also a lady on the packaging. On the back part of the packaging it states there the product claims, directions for use, batch number and expiration date, net weight, manufacturer and the ingredients. Below are the ingredients of the product for you to look at and discover if there are ingredients with this soap that is incompatible with your skin.

INGREDIENTS. Coconut oil, De-ionized water, Sodium Hydroxide, Kojic Acid, Glycerin, Fragrance, Aqua & Xanthan Gum & Caprylyl Glycol & Glucose & Carrageenan & Phenoxyethanol & Ethylexylglycerine, Cocodiethanolamide, Mineral oil, Tea Tree Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Collagen, Elastin, BHT.

So those are the ingredients of this soap. If you not familiar with the ingredients and you’re not sure if it works well on your skin, try do do the patch test. Try the product on your hand and observe if it after 24 hours if it’s compatible with your skin or not. If you get an allergy while trying out it on your hand, don’t try to use this soap.

This is how the product inside looks likes:


The soap is covered with thin cellophane, fair enough to cover it as a whole. As you can see it is color white. The size of the product is just fair enough for its price. By the way, I bought this one at Watsons at price 60 pesos for two soaps. There is also a single soap in a box which cost for about 32 pesos. But then again, price still varies on where you will buy the product.

PRODUCT CLAIMS. Kojie san Dream White Anti-aging soap combines the youth-regenerating properties of collagen and elastin plus the skin lightening effect of kojic acid. The moisturizing and whitening properties of the product will leave your skin feeling revitalized, refreshed and younger-looking. Bathe in the warmth and softness of vanilla scent.

What can you say about it? Isn’t it amazing? So now you know that this product will not just bring out the younger-looking in you but also lighten your skin in the process. Why? Since this product also has a kojic acid ingredient that helps lighten your skin. What’s good about this product is that if you feel like you have an unpleasant skin, you don’t have to worry since it combines the properties of collagen and elastin to make your skin look healthy and not saggy.

I’ve been using this product for almost a month now. But I just stop last week for some reasons: not negative reasons though. What I like about this product is that, it has a great smell; vanilla scent. It feels so nice inhaling the vanilla smell of it. The soap is also so easy to apply and after washing it with water, you could feel the smoothness and cleanliness of your skin all over. But after drying it with towel, it starts to feel dry but not to the point that it looks not hydrated. But that’s what whitening soap side effect is; it dries up your skin a little bit. So after taking a bath, try using a lotion that could moisturize your skin. What I just don’t like with this soap is that it melts easily. That’s why I have here a tip on how to last this one bar of soap for a month: cut it to four equal parts or even 8 pieces, it’s still up to you. But you need to cut it in order for the soap to last for almost a month (based on my experience).

When we talk about the results of this product, it really does make my skin look quite healthier and my skin gets quite lighter. You can’t really determine to yourself if your skin get one shade lighter. Asking your friends and let them compare your skin the past week is a great help. This soap don’t really make your skin looks whiter overnight. Perhaps, the lightening effect of it will undergo a gradual process. If you want to see fairer results, try to continue it for 6 months and see if it really lightens your skin up to nth shade whiter. When I used this product before, I also encounter the same effects.

To sum up everything about this soap, it’s really a great soap which is perfect to those who are in a budget. It is really affordable and you could buy this soap at any department stores and drugstores nationwide. This soap doesn’t work overtime. Of course it takes time to see visible results. I would recommend this soap to everyone who wants to bring out the younger-looking skin in them and wants to lighten their skin.

Would I repurchase this soap? Yes.

Thank you for taking time in reading my article. I hope as you finish reading this, you learn something. God bless you always!

Hello everyone! Today I will share to you my experience and my review on a facial product which is the MYRA VITAWHITE WHITENING FACIAL WASH. I was actually in the supermarket looking for a facial wash when I found this one. I was actually in doubt if what variant would I choose because there are two variants of facial wash from Myra: Myra VitaSmooth and VitaWhite. I end up choosing this variant since it has whitening power which I like. I’m a skin whitening enthusiast though. I bought the 50 mL product for as low as Php 75.00 at Watsons.

PRODUCT CLAIMS:
  • Deeply cleanses skin and rids it from dirt and excess oil while making skin look naturally white in as early as 7 days. 
  • It has Biowhite Complex which is derived from plant extracts that gently brightening skin. 
  • Has Niacinamide that evens out skin tone by reducing red blotches to make skin more radiant. 
  • Enriched with antioxidant Vitamin E beads which protect and nourish skin to help keep it healthy with a youthful glow. 
  • Hypoallergenic and Dermatologist-tested. Your assurance that it is mild, gentle, and safe for everyday use. 
  • Best used with Myra Facial Moisturizer or Myra BB Cream for added coverage during daytime.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Squeeze foam onto your palm. Lather with water, gently massage over wet face and neck. Rinse thoroughly with water.

This is how the packaging looks like.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT?

I have been using the product for 2 months now and these are the things that I like about the product. I like that the product is not thick and can be easily applied on the skin. (Tip: If you’re scrubbing your face when washing it, massage your face first for a few minutes then scrub gently after.) 

I also love the smoothness of my face after washing it with the product. I have a dry skin and making my skin smooth is a big help. I could also feel that my skin is really clean and it feels so refreshing on my part. I could also say that it deeply cleanses the pores because after washing my face and cleaning my face again with cleanser, the cotton is almost clean and my makeup has really been removed properly with the facial wash alone. It really cleanses my skin and removes excess oil. 

What I also like about the product is that there are orange beads which are visible to the eyes. You can really see that they put them on the product which they claim that those are antioxidant Vitamin E, isn’t it amazing? You can assure that your skin on the outside is also healthy because of the Vitamin E. (I recommend that you will also drink Vitamin E for a holistic skin care not just on the outside but also on the inside.) I was actually in doubt with the foamy appearance of the product because I’m afraid that it might clog on my pores but it doesn’t. I also love the appearance of the product because as you can see it, it is silky and glittery. 

I also find it affordable.

WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THE PRODUCT

This product really impress me. But one thing I could say, in terms of the whitening effect, you can't see the result instantly.. It gradually whitens the skin.

VERDICT

This product is worth the cost for it's effective in cleaning and somehow brightening the skin. I recommend this product to anyone who's into budget friendly product which really works.

Anyways, thank you so much for reading! I hope this review helps.

My eyelashes are not really long and bold that I'm looking for a mascara that could make my eyelashes look good. I was on the cosmetics section that day when I found this product; NICHIDO VOLUME LASH MASCARA. What struck me most with this mascara is the product description:

"Have a spectacular fanned-out lash effect to attract everyone!”

Its regular price is Php 228.00 and is available in all Nichido outlets nationwide.

Packaging of the product

There is nothing special with the packaging. I love the combination of colors that were used on the packaging of the product: pink and black. The packaging on the picture says it all; you decide. 

For the information of everyone, if you see a short open bottle illustration with 6M on the right side, that's the expiration. It says, once you open it, it will expire after 6 months.

                                     Mascara Bristles

The shape of it is quite unique. The bristles of the mascara are not the usual mascara bristles; they are like soft, foamy plastic bristles. Hope this bristles work!

My eyelashes are short and it's not thick. Now look as this is how the mascara looks like when applied to my eyelashes.

         
My eyelashes don't really curl that much since I haven't use an eyelash curler but I presume it will curl more if I use a curler. After 6 hours of using the product, I could say that it's quite long-wearing and there are no smudges. It is really smudge-proof. I’m always afraid of smudges because it might make me a monster without sleep or a woman who cried all night. 

It’s also a clump-free mascara. I just realize that it's not really good to judge directly the product. My eyelashes didn't clump and I love it. It also adds volume and length to my eyelashes; not really much but the result is enough to change the look of my eyelashes.

PROS:
  • long-wearing (my eyelashes still looks nice even after 6 hours of use) 
  • clump-free 
  • Adds volume to my lashes 
  • Adds length to my lashes 
  • curls my eyelashes (not that much) 
  • has Vitamin B5 
  • The length of bristles is just right and it's foamy 
  • smudge-proof 
  • affordable 
CONS:
  • Nichido outlets are quite hard to find in our place 

RATING:
  • Quality: 4.75/5 
  • Price: 4.5/5 
  • Performance: 4.75/5 
  • Availability: 3.9/5 
I could say that Nichido Volume Lash mascara is good mascara. I like how this mascara works and it’s clump-free but I am still looking for another type of mascara to compare. Will I purchase it again? I think as of now, no. I will just look for other mascara products out there and discover their performance too. Will I recommend this product? Yes of course, I will recommend this product since it has a nice effect on my lashes and the product description also really works. So, that's it. I hope this review helps if you're interested to try this Nichido Volume Lash mascara. Thank you for reading my review and God bless everyone. Advance Happy New Year. 2017 is fast approaching.

I'm always on the look out for a better lotion which is compatible to my skin type. Until one day I found out of this lotion while I was roaming around in the mall's beauty section; MYRA VITAWHITE WHITENING HAND AND BODY LOTION. I'm not really into whitening products but the product description captured by heart. It says, it helps keep skin healthy and young-looking, it has ActiLight Complex which is derived from plant extracts that gently whitens skin, it has SPF 15 with Double Sunscreen protection against UVA and UVB rays to protect skin from the harmful effects of the sun, Pro Moisture formula that helps keep skin extra smooth and soft, it has bursting beads enriched with antioxidant Vitamin E that gets absorbed into the skin to protect and nourish it, and it is hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested so your assurance that is effective and safe.

I was out-stand that the product doesn't just focus on the whitening job but also on nourishing the skin. The product comes with a 50 ml tube and 200 ml tube with a price Php 55.00 and Php 165.00, respectively. This product can be bought to all department stores and drugstores nationwide.

Disclaimer: The price of the product varies from one store to another. 

Packaging of the product
Front

Back
There's nothing really special about the bottle but it looks elegant. It comes with a pleasing packaging, added with enough information for the costumers. 

            How the lotion looks like


As what you can see, the lotion is color white with orange beads. According to the product description, those orange beads are enriched with antioxidant Vitamin E. It is not sticky, so you don’t have to worry of that sticky feeling after using it. It also smells good. The smell is quite addictive-- try smelling it and you don’t want to stop smelling it. The fragrance that they used is so refreshing and also mild that it can’t make you feel dizzy. It’s just oozing with fragrance. I hope my skin will smell like this forever.

What I like about this lotion is when you apply it on your skin; it’s easily being absorbed by the skin. So as what I’ve said earlier, you will experience non-sticky feeling after using it. And remember the orange beads on the lotion? They will just go together with the lotion and absorbed by the skin. You can also feel the smoothness of your skin after using it. I also love that this lotion has SPF and double sunscreen protection, worry no more for the sun exposure.

What I don’t like about this lotion is that, after using it and after the lotion is being absorbed by the skin, my skin looks dry but when I touch it, it’s so smooth. I don’t know why but that thing really happens after applying the lotion. 

 I am a Filipina with a combination type of skin and based on my experience, after using it for more than a month now; I could feel the smoothness of my skin. Before using this product, I could really feel the dullness of my skin and I felt so sad about it. My skin lacks smoothness and it just makes me look old. So, I’m just happy with the smoothening result of this product. I haven’t experienced any irritation after using this product. On the whitening side, I haven’t noticed some lightening effect on my skin. It seems that the color of my skin is just the same as before. But I think if I’ll continue on using it for more than a year, perhaps, I could experience any lightening effect by then. 
         
PROS:
  • the lotion is non-sticky and will also experience non-sticky feeling after using it 
  • it smoothens the skin 
  • it smells good (addictive smell) 
  • the lotion is easily absorbed by the skin 
  • it has orange beads that contain antioxidant Vitamin E 
  • it’s affordable 
  • can be bought in all department stores and drugstores nationwide 
  • hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested 
  • doesn’t irritate the skin 
  • it has SPF and double sunscreen protection 
CONS:
  • the bottle is too thick 
  • my skin looks dry after the lotion is being absorbed by the skin 
  • I didn’t noticed any whitening effect on my skin 
Will I purchase this product again? Yes, of course. Because of all the lotions that I’ve used before, this product is really compatible on my skin and it doesn’t irritate it. It is also safe and effective so I’m not scared of using it. Highly recommended.

Thank you for reading my blog. I hope my post helps.
