Innisfree One Brand Review

The discovery of this famous skin care brand from Korea started when I purchased my first Althea Korea box in September and one of the items in that box is the Innisfree No Sebum Powder Cream.

This cream claims as a 3-in-1 product because it act as a moisturizer, primer and gives you a matte-finish so no need for powder. Yeah, it gives you a mattifying finish but it only last for 3-4 hours. So for oily skin, I would still suggest to set it with powder. Overall, I have a mixed feeling for this cream. But I'll definitely gonna finish this tub esp. during no-make-up look. And I love the citrus scent even if claims that it has a mint as a ingredient.

The Green Tea Cleansing Foam does its job on cleaning my face w/o that squicky feel which is harmful because it damages our skin barrier. But I dont use this after bed because I prefer to use a very mild cleanser.

And lastly, the by-far the best Innisfree product that I've tried is the Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask. I applied this after washing my face. After 10 minutes, I rinsed it with lukewarm water and it actually work as a facial scrub. After that, I can feel that face is so smooth and cream. I'm just not sure if my pores got minimize but I dont mine. I'll definitely gonna repurchase this. I will also want to try the other variant of this with with peppermint since I believe that may help reduce the apperance of my pores.

Seoul White Korea Review

If you're fully invaded by the Korean culture, Im pretty certain that you know the meaning of CHOK CHOK. To school the others, it means DEWY which what we admire the KPop Idols and KDrama superstars. And their secret is to pay full attention to their skin care. That's why I got flabergasted to order this new kids in the block skin care brand from Sampleroom named Seoul White Korea that promise a Chok-Chok look. Btw, I got this for FREE so better check the Sampleroom.PH site.

The Whitening Milky Tone Up Cream is now the new KBeauty trend that instantly gives you an instant white effect while it gives you a moisturizing and whitening benefits.

Just want to remind you that setting your face wearing this with a powder may be a problem. I noticed that there are some parts of my face where it rubs off especially in my nose bridge between my eyes because I wear sunglass. So using this alone is sufficient since it reall gives you a semi-dewy look. If you're an oily skin type like me, I would suggest to use an oil-control skin care products like toner ( I would recomment the Gluta-C Acne Control Toner ) or face cream ( I recommend Quick FX No-Shine Mattifier but I would suggest to put it on top of the Tone Up Cream). Applying this with your hands may not be a good idea. I tried to use it and it gives me a patchy, uneven tone so I used a damp makeup sponge for even application. This is actually good as a primer because it really hides my skin imperfection especially my pores.

And the Whitening Soap is by far the less-harsh soap that I tried even if it comes with a Kojic Acid. Thats because by the help of the Donkey Milk plus Arbutin Bearberry and White Strawberry. Actually, I fell in love with its sweet berry scent.

Even if it comes with Kojic Acid, I find it so mild which is great for sensitive skin like me. I actually use it to my face but only before bedtime. If you really want a fast, visible whitening result, I would suggest to use with with your trusted whitening products.

You can still get this awesome products from Seoul White Korea for free by going to Sampleroom.Ph. You can also buy this to your nearest Watson Store. Ig Im not mistaken, the single bar soap is around 30+ but you get more savings if you buy the 2 or 3 bar pack. For the tone up cream, you can get the trial sachet for only 20php.

Sampleroom.PH Experience

While browsing some skin care blogs before, I spotted a certain blog featuring a bb cream that she got from a site named Sampleroom. I'm surprised that the blogger ( sorry her name, hehehe ) got the featured product for free. At first, I was not interested that time because I was more focused on blogging about my latest OOTDs, hahaha.

But two months ago, I attended the recent Blogapalooza 2014 and Sampleroom is one of the participating booths. I just registered to site ( www.sampleroom.ph ) and viola, I got 100 points to use to get available samples from their site plus 2 bottles of Fortifying Shampoo and Conditioner from Zenutrients ( I'll feature it soon ).

This is the biggest savings that I got from Sampleroom. Its 450php in the market but I got this during summer and I just paid 100php.

Few days after I registered, I got an email alert about their new samples and those are Jergen's with their new packaging and improved formula. I got excited because its one of my favorite brands for lotion. In order for me to get the free samples, you need to have enough points and since I got 100 point upon registration and it only requires me to use 35 points for each bottle, I ordered two of them. I only paid for 100 pesos for the shipping and handling fee. Even if I still have to pay for the free samples, if you look at it in a budget-conscious perspective, you're getting the products in a discounted price. For example, if I buy those Jergen's Body Lotion in a store, it will cost me 140 pesos for 2 bottles. But by getting it from Sampleroom, you're just getting in for only 100 pesos so you'll get 40-peso savings.

The first sample that I got from them.

Most of the product that they have are in full-size and there are some that really comes in a small size that is really designed for sample use only. In order for us to decide if we're going to buy the full-size or if its worth it to repurchase it, the member should try the product for at least 3 to 5 days. Once they tried it, they just have to put their honest but constructive feedback about it. Yes, Sampleroom will allow you to post your review even if its not a good experience for as long as you adhere to their guidelines. What's more exciting about using their service is for every review, you will earn 1 point. Once they approve your review, you will not just earn additional 1 point, you will also get back the points that you used for the samples. You'll also earn points by referring a friend who might be interested on trying out some samples. Just put their email address to sampleroom's website then once your friend received the invitation and registered, you'll automatically get 1 point.

As of the moment, I've been getting stuffs from them for more than a year and I'm satisfied that is why I share to my friends those samples by posting it in my social media accounts like Facebook and Instagram.

C'mon,, go check their website at sampleroom.ph

Pond's White Beauty Pearl Cleansing Gel and Pond's Flawless White Dewy Rose Gel Review

This is a shame to post a review to a product that I've tried almost a year ago ( March of this year to be exact, hihihi ). This is one of the samples I got luckily from Sampleroom.ph together with Pond's Flawless White Dewy Rose Gel as part of the bundled package since it was newly launched that time.

I got this perfectly timing for the upcoming summer season since this new facial wash and facial cream from Pond's is a gel-based so it might be refreshing after using it. So on my first day of wash, I just squeezed just a pea-sized amount to my palm and I noticed that it has a mid-thick consistency. I love that it gives me a refreshing feel after not too mentholated, just the right refreshness as if you just splashed a water with a little ice cubes.

Then I started using the Pond's Flawless White Dewy Rose Facial Gel by applying the right amount to my face and neck. I love how quickly it absorbs to my face unless to the usual facial cream that I used that it gives you a greasy feel like it just sitting in your face with out the absorption.

I used it for few weeks and I noticed that there's a slight peeling in some parts of my skin but not obviously noticeable but the lightening effect is not so obvious.

Verdict:

This gel-based facial wash/cream combo is an interesting product from the brand that I trusted for so many years. This new addition to our all time favorite skin care line is perfect for sensitive skin but still wants a rosy white skin. But if you're looking for a whitening skin product, this is not the product that you're looking. This product is made for those target customer who wants TO TAKE TIME to achieve a rosy white skin without harming their skin by drying/peeling it. I will definitely purchase this IF I can't find my favorite skin care product in a supermarket or skin care store. At least the good it about it is safe and suitable to my skin.

Avon Simply Pretty BB Cream Review

I got forced to buy this bb cream from one of my officemates who's an Avon dealer. Since I'm a big fan of BB cream so I decided to try this Avon Simply Pretty BB Cream.

When I squeeze in a pea-sized amount of it, I noticed the liquid-ish type of it so you have a better control of getting a right amount. The good thing about it is the easiness on applying it to your face. I find this bb cream so sheer to apply to the point that its not enough to conceal some scar in your face so you still have to use a concealer.

After using it for 2-3 weeks I noticed that my skin becomes lighter when I checked some of my pictures. This is the only product that I used that has a whitening content.

One thing that I don't like about it is after almost a month, I noticed that the oil starts to separate from the cream.

I hoping that Avon tried to improve the quality of it especially the scent. I'm hoping that they change the scent because for me, it reminds me of a scent of a ballpen.

Final Verdict:

I may probably still use this if its on a 50% discount of someone gave it to me.

Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack Review

Hello...!!!

Its been a long time since the last time that I updated my blog. I'm so sorry for that. I got lots of skin care products that I've tried for the pass months and I want to share my personal experience to help you decide. Let's start by reviewing Himalaya Herbals Facial Pack that I got from Sampleroom ( sampleroom.PH ) for free together with other Himalaya Herbals face care line.

This facial mask claims to get rid of skin problem such as pimples and oily skin. Its like a mud pack because of the color. I used it after washing my face using the Himalaya Herbals Facial Wash. I applied it after I towel-dried my skin and leave it for 15 minutes. After that, I rinse it with water. After few days of using it, I noticed that my skin becomes less oily and some of my little pimples starts to dry out.

Pro : it really controls the oil production and tightens my pores.

Cons : its a bit grainy when you apply it. It feels like you're using a scrub.

Worth To Repurchase? : 

Yes I'll repurchase it in the future if I need a help to get rid of my pimples.
