Human Heart Nature Strawberry Exfoliating Bar
Yay for strawberries!!!! Human Heart Nature came up with another scented soap in strawberries. What a way to indulge my week with a strawberry exfoliating soap.
Moisturizing and gentle to my skin. This soap makes me want to eat it as it reminds me of a bowl of fresh strawberries and milk. What's even surprising is that this bar comes in color PINK! Why? Because most of their soaps come in a white bar of soap in whatever variant it was. Lovely, isn't it? The tiny microbeads that exfoliate my skin do okay, but not to what I consider 'invigorating'. It is cold processed soap and free of harmful chemicals... and it is in pink! Remember that! :3
Both their Vanilla Exfoliating Bar and this Strawberry Exfoliating Bar are both my favorite! I wonder what other fun soaps would they come up with.
Purchase it here.

Venus & Mars Naturals Whitening Underarmour
Commercial deodorants as we all know has harmful chemicals that will affect negatively to our body and one of the culprit of dark underarms. I even doubt if it really lightens underarms in a matter of weeks like they claim. Well, lucky for some, but for the majority, it makes us shun away to wear sleeveless top. I stay away from these types of deodorant and I am really picky what to use for my delicate underarms.
Whitening Underarmour 50ml | Php555
I bought an each of these deodorants. It was on sale when I bought last year at the World Trade Center. I have bought V&M's original deodorant years ago were it comes in a green spray bottle. It made me smell fresh all day and lightened my skin in a few months while pairing it with other whitening products. They all worked together!
Now they come in a dark bottles, to which from my knowledge, protects the "sensitive ingredients" from being exposed to the sun. But even still, I still store it somewhere it is not reached from the damaging sunlight... just to be sure. I am not much into the white sticker with labels written of the product thing. I kind of fancy the colorful and cute designs they put out in their soaps than this.
Since I got good results from their "original" deodorant, I have decided to try their new deodorants. Not only it has emu oil and other ingredients that will leave my underarms looking smooth and clean, I am not worried if it will cause irritation or darken my underarms. Just give it a quick shake and spray it, done. Both of these variants smell nice especially the ALOE VERA + LICORICE MINT because it leaves a wonderful peppermint scent. Though the price per bottle is expensive, I'm happy to say it lasted 5-6 months of use. Did it kept me fresh all day along? Yes to an extent as long as I do not run errands left and right especially out in the sun, or a sudden rush of adrenaline coming straight at me. If I am at home or in an air conditioned office, this would work tremendously.
I did also paired it with V&M's CPC+G Oil. (I'll still make a review on that!) I dabbed a little of this and sprayed this deodorant to see if it worked, but sadly, after 5-6 months, it did NOT lighten my skin. Maybe a teeny bit it did lighten, but it wasn't an overall drastic change. I was expecting a lot out on this product since they come in new packaging and new formulas.
Would I buy it again? Yes I would. Only because it is a trusted brand I have used for a few years and my skin did not irritate at all. Natural deodorants are hard to find these days that also work well for my body chemistry. (Though there is a part of me that wanted to create my own deodorant. I found a homemade deodorant recipe on Youtube a week ago.) For now, I can't jump around and test another deo because we all know underarms are very sensitive; a slight irritation means embarrassing dark spot in that area! But if I did ever find something better, and done my research, why not?

Trader Joe's Nourish All in One Facial Cleanser
It had been years since I used this facial cleanser from Trader Joe's. Someone bought it for me because this person knew I loved the product. You can read my old review here if you want to. I am almost ran out of my other facial wash, so this came in just in time.
I have noticed something different every time I wash my face with this product. I tried ignoring it for a week, but it just was not 'gentle' on my skin. It almost feels like, the cleanser was a little harsh, heavy and... my skin was not getting that "happy vibe" at all. I did not like the scent of this. It made my face and neck slightly irritated. There were times throughout the day I would scratch my skin for a bit. I was alarmed! I immediately switched to another product and my skin is happy now.
