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.

ETUDE HOUSE Like 20 Eye Concentrate and Booster Essence
I decided to combine two reviews for this post. I'd be reviewing Etude House's Like 20 (Twenty) eye concentrate and booster essence.
This is an early anti-aging skin care line introduced by Etude House who are in their 20's to get in the habit of taking care of their skin..., or who wants to look "twenteen" as long they can. "Keep your skin elastic, create a protection layer, keep it moist and you will have a young looking skin like in your 20s", is their slogan for this beautiful collection. It contains ceramide and murumuru oil to keep skin supple and smooth.
Their Like Twenty skin care line consists of:
1. All Day Cream Pact
2. Booster Essence
3. Essential Emulsion
4. Booster Essence
5. Eye Concentrate
On with the review!
Like 20 Eye Concentrate
It comes with a dispenser as I easily control the amount of product on my ring fingers, and gently dab around my eye area. It smells nice and does leave the skin supple. I do not have dark circles or crows feet, but it helps keep everything moisturized. I like it that it comes in a dispenser because it keeps it sanitized rather than a jar. I use it at night. I have been using it for weeks, and my eye area looks great!
Like 20 Booster Essence
The product almost comes in a semi-transparent dispenser. It is a gel-type boosting oil essence to relieve skin from aging. One to two pea-sized amount is all it needs to keep my face, neck, decolletage, and the back of the hands to keep it soft and moist. I love the scent of this one. It sinks into my skin quickly and leaves my skin supple. I like to apply this at night for a more skin rejuvenation every time I sleep, and wake up fresh.
I am so intrigued by their ALL DAY CREAM PACT. Has anyone tried it?

Chloe

Human Heart Nature Chamomile Cool Feminine Wash
Ladies, we all know the importance of taking good care our delicate area. You know what I mean.
Why did it me took long to discover this fem wash? I've been using several commercial feminine wash all my life, and none of them came close the difference it made me feel after I used this. I feel clean, fresh, and protected for the whole day. The formula is concentrated and smells nice, and didn't I mention it is natural, SLS/SLES-free and hypoallergenic. It is so gentle and leaves a cooling feel in the intimate area. This big bottle could last for months! Instant love for this product. I highly recommend this.
Besides CHAMOMILE COOL, they also come in CHAMOMILE FRESH, and POWDER COOL variety. Lovely scents to choose from!
I would also love to try their Feminine Wash for Red Days. I've read a lot of wonderful feedback about it. It is to be (only) used during period. I'll try this one for sure.

Venus and Mars: All-Natural Handmade Soap: Lulur (Emu Oil Based)
After years of being bacne-free, I started to get bacne probably from stress, hormone, dirt and grime, or certain body wash that may have caused this. How frustrating! I may have to note myself NOT to use those products again. I know what I said on my previous post, but this soap helped me cleared my skin together with V&M's milk salts. I look forward for their milk salts, too bad they ran out of stock. I repurchased this soap from a bazaar I went to a year ago.
Every soap they sell look pretty from the way they were cut and presented. I like that each of their soaps were labeled differently, colorful and cute. All their soaps have also increased in size which also increased their prices, which seems to me it won't stop V&M fans from repurchasing and try out what's new in their skincare line.
I could not smell that strong scent of turmeric, or somewhat faint I guess. It was non-irritating at all and my skin felt nice and clean afterwards. I only use this soap on my body for 2-3 weeks. I wash my skin (bacne) with this, and seems some of them dried. YAAAS! V&M's Lulur has also whitening ingredients such as arbutin, calamansi and papain. I could not tell if my skin lightened a shade or two in just 2-3 weeks, which of course I should buy more if I wanted to and use it every day.
But I think I know a way: I can make a turmeric paste, but it will be quite messy.
Hmm... that's funny. Nothing had changed from neither these reviews I wrote. Oh well...

All-Natural Handmade Soap: Lulur (Emu Oil Based) 135g | Php295
The Javanese Lulur is considered to be the queen of treatments and has been practiced in the palaces of Central Java since the 17th century. There, the pursuit of beauty has long been a daily ritual and the Javanese Lulur an integral step, leaving the skin soft, supply and shining. V&M Naturals Lulur is concocted to leave the skin clear from impurities by means of its turmeric content mixed with emu oil and tea tree as it whitens the appearance of the skin through its powerful combination of arbutin, calamansi and papain. Moisturize and pamper the skin with the rest of the ingredients and find a noticeable and renewed skin after each use!
