Mega Haul: Various Brands

I call this my Mega Haul. My week went kinda haywire and 

I feel so stressed up, I want to escape. 

And here is my escape. Watsons is like a shopping haven for me. Love that store!

I will road test these and then I will make my review later so for the meantime 

let's all get gorgeous sisters!!!

A Bonne Spa Flawless White Cream

I 

 I really love finding products which are effective yet cheap and commercially available. I saw this in a department store. I really love A Bonne products. They offer products that are inexpensive yet very effective especially their bath salts.

Ingredients for those interested:

 

Product Description:

 

This is how it looks:

 

 The cream is easy to apply and is readily absorbed. It has a nice scent reminiscent of pearl creams (aka chin chun su). It made my dark spots lighter too! 

The downside is that it makes my skin oily and sticky after a few hours of application.

For only less than php40 it's not bad, right?

 

Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub

I love scrubs. I feel relaxed and pampered after I use them. So whenever I see a new product around, I must try it and see for myself. This product was mentioned by a GT sister so I readily grabbed 2 tubs when I went to Watsons. 

Here's the product description:

 

Ingredients:

 

It has a fine, grainy texture and a green tea scent which might be overpowering for some people but I kinda love the scent. After finishing the first tub, some dark areas of my body lightened up a bit but if you are looking for a product that gives instant result, this is not it. For php80 a tub, it is not bad at all for a scrub.

 

Saizen and Japan Home Great Finds

Got these from Saizen and Japan Home. They have so many cute and quirky items at an affordable price! Also a rack dedicated for Charcoal Masks. Wow! For now, I will settle for these.

Love both stores!!!

Various Brands Haul

I found these all at Royal Subic Duty Free Shop. I am so curious with these pigeon powders, I bought even the one made for babies. I am so excited to try them all! 

 

Beauty Credit Haul

 I always try some products from Beauty Credit in Subic Bay. They always offer discounts and freebies that's why I am hooked.

 I like this lotion because it smells really milky scent and the scent lasts long. I did not feel sticky even if it is a hot, humid day.

This cleansing foam has fine beads great for removing dead skin. I like the fresh citrus scent. 

This makes my skin fresh, clean and so smooth. 

And the tube lasts a long time since a small amount lathers up well. Great buy!

 These masks are my freebies! Yehey!!!

I still haven't used this powder. I will review this later. 

I am so happy with my haul.

Watsons Haul

 I really love Watsons. They have great finds that are easy on the budget. I will review these soon.

Cyleina Haul

I discovered Cyleina soaps thru GT. I already bought the Black Pearl last year so I bought another set because it really lightened my skin in 2 weeks. I also got curious with Gluta-maxxx because it received so many raves from sisses in GT 

and so with Papaya-Goat's Milk soap. 

 

I was disappointed when I got this batch of soaps. The whitening effect of the BP is not as good as before and the minty feeling after bath is not as intense 

compared to the earlier batch of soaps I bought. 

I hope they will bring back the original formulation of the black pearl.

(from the website)

Size: 45 gms
What does it do?
* Whitens skin tone instantly!
* lightens dark spots and pimple scars
* Effective in lightening dark underarms and inner thighs caused by imbalanced hormones, chemical burns from deodorants
*anti-wrinkle&best skin moisturizer
*safe and will not sting!
*see results as early as first use!

Recommendation: This product performs best when used continually and also recommended for oily acne prone skin

Black pearl inspired soap made from the finest high grade quality of arbutin, collagen oil, and Vitamins C & E. Only the best ingredients that mother nature can give are used in this creation. 

I am not impressed with PGM. I dont like the smell and the effect was just so-so for me. I think the rice bran and the tomato soap are way better than this.

 

- A unique combination of papaya with Vitamin C for the fast whitening and exfoliating of dead skin cells. The goats' milk acts as a good moisturizer that softens rough skin. This soap is the best prevention of skin blemishes and premature wrinkles! (from the website)

To lengthen the life span of my soaps, I cut them into 3 pieces 

(talk about getting cheapskate every minute--teehee).

I am quite disappointed with this variant of cyleina. I expected it to be equally effective with the BP in terms of its whitening power. I already used up the bar and it did not lighten my skin the way BP did. I like the smell though and it does not melt easily.

And the search for the best whitening soap continues...

Let's Hit the Pan 3

Whoa! Got another tubes, bottles and boxes emptied. Hooray! 

Hooray for another shopping haul!!!

TheFaceShop Pureberry Toner

I am so in love with the Pureberry line from TheFaceShop. I got this from Liza late last year. I just used it recently because I have so many toners opened at that time. But since I really love the Pureberry BB Cream, I thought I would like to try the toner. And oh boy, I am so happy I got this product!

I love this because:

1. It has a mild clean scent. Hmmmm.

2. It does not sting!!! (Better than the witch hazel toner from Healthy Options!)

3. My pores looked smaller (yahoo!).

4. It did not break me out! (woohoo!)

This is now my HG toner, a staple in my kikay kit.
