Myra Vita White Face Lotion


Net Volume: 50mL
Price: Php96
Made in the Philippines


Ingredients: Water, Octinoxate, Zinc Oxide, Polyacrylamide, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Laureth-7, Glycerin, Talc, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Cyclomethicone, Steareth-21, Malva sylvestris extract, Mentha piperita leaf extract, Primula veris extract, Alchemilla vulgaris extract, Veronica officinalis leaf extract, Melissa officinalis leaf extract, Achillea millefolium extract, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, DMDM Hydantoin, Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, Fragrance, Disodium EDTA, Gluconolactone 


I like this moisturizer. I put alot of this in the evening so that my skin would be softer than usual. I'm currently on my second tube and it didn't whiten my face at all. But it's fine with me because I like the scent and it has spf15. 

It did gave me a few bumps in my face so I'll just finish this tube and will look for a replacement. 

Pros: 
  • has spf15
  • mildly scented
  • affordable
Cons:
  • you have to put a little bit more than a pea size if you want soft skin
  • gave me a few bumps on the face
  • no whitening effect on me
Overall I like it but I don't love it.

A Bonne Hair Spa


Net Weight: 280 grams
Price: Php90
Made in Thailand


Ingredients:Cetrimonium Chloride, Lactolan, Milk Protein, Glycerine, Dimethicone Polyol, Titanium Dioxide.

I've seen this product in Divisoria and I've always wanted to try this. Finally I saw this online with other A Bonne products and decided to buy them (almost the same prices as the ones being sold in Divi with free shipping). The product yellowish and smells chemically like the ones being used at salons but not that strong. Don't worry about that because you won't smell it anymore after rinsing. I'm using this as a conditioner instead because I have no heating cap at home. I put 2 small hand scoops on my mid length hair. It made my hair a little softer like any other conditioner. Nothing special about this hair spa. BFAD Approved.

Pros:
  • affordable
 Cons:
  • only works like a regular conditioner
 Also available in 500gram tub and 30gram sachet.

Pond's Smooth Pores Pore Tightening Facial Foam with Glacial Clay


Net Weight: 100 grams
Price: Php139
Made in Indonesia

Ingredients: Myristic Acid, Glycerin,Water, Propylene Glycol, Potassium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Lauric Acid, Glycol Distearate, Decyl Glucoside, Glyceryl Stearate, Perfume, Menthol, DMDM Hydantoin, Polyquaternum-7, Disodium EDTA, Butylene Glycol, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Kaolin, Thermus Thermophillus Ferment, CI 19140, CI 42090

Hello there :) Today I'm gonna review this facial foam from Pond's. This facial wash has a mild minty feel after washing. This is made for pore reduction but honestly it didn't do anything for my pores. Good thing it didn't cause me alot of breakouts for I bought a full size tube and I'm planning to finish it before buying another facial wash.

Pros:
  • non drying
  • affordable
Cons:
  • doesn't do anything for my pores 
  • I had a few pimples while using this.
Overall my skin didn't like this product so I'll probably not repurchase again.

Ever Bilena Thick Lash Mascara

Net Weight: 4 grams
Price: Php75
Made in Taiwan


Ingredients:  Water, Stearic Acid, Talc,Triethanolamine, CeraAlba, Cyclomethicone, PVP, Copernicia Cerifera Wax, Tocopheryl Acetate, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, CI77891, CI77499

I've been thinking about those mascaras that I have thrown out because they already stink or have gotten the product inside dry. :( I'm not a regular user of mascara and tend to use them more or less 20 times a tube until they are disposable. Good thing I saw this mascara! It comes in a very small tube with 4 grams weight (50% less product than other 7-8 gram mascaras). This mascara will save me money for I could finish it up before it expires. 


The brush as you can see is small so it took me a while to get used to it without getting the product onto my lids. The formula is NOT waterproof. It smells like any other mascara without added scent.

Pros:
  • cheap and good value for the buck! :)
  • has Vitamin E.
  • no clumping and flaking
  • no falling lashes
Cons:
  • the wand is hard to control at first
 Great cheap mascara!

Rating: 4/5 stars for washable mascara category

Eskinol Classic White Blackhead Prevent Facial Deep Cleanser with Mineral Grains


Net Volume: 225mL
Price: Php67
Made in the Philippines

Ingredients: Water, Alcohol Denat., Potassium Alum, Sorbitol, Perfume, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Menthol

 I first purchased a smaller bottle for the purpose of trying it out. Who doesn't know the brand Eskinol? My mom used to use this when I was small.

I use this everday for more than a month now. This variant has crushed "tawas" so it is a little "magaspang" if not rubbed gently.It removes dirt and make up. It made my pimples heal faster. Sadly it did not help remove my pimple scars but I will continue on patronizing this product because it's affordable and it deeply cleans my face.

I will try other variants of Eskinol astringent in the future and compare them with this one.
