Palmolive Naturals Flawless Clean Soap

It girls whether corporate ladies or freelance maidens are living a fast-paced lifestyle in the city. Even with sunscreen, skin is still exposed to pollution and dirt that clogs pores, making it feel icky sticky and heavy. Solution?

Palmolive Natural Flawless Clean

This is the first from Palmolive soap with 100% natural charcoal product. This so far is the biggest news from its line of bar soap and since Charcoal is known for its ability to attract other substances and hold them there by absorption - that substances includes dirt and grime from pollution - it also follows that it helps in washing away dirt from skin, leaving it effectively clean.

Empties: January to March 2015

Shine Moist Keratin Treatment - used this as a regular conditioner when I don't have enough me time which is usually every single day, but when I do, I use this after my shampoo. I blot my hair dry, apply this, and cover with a shower cap for a good 15 - 30 minutes. This product mainly contains keratin - a rich protein bond ingredient that helps nourish damaged hair without irritating sensitive scalp. This can also be used as a hot oil treatment to maximize softness.

Avon Naturals Body Refreshing Shower Gel in Green Papaya and Calamansi - citrus-y! That is how I would define the experience. Formulated with green papaya and calamansi extract, this refreshing perfect-for-summer shower gel leaves skin cleansed and "electrified". ;)

Eskinol Pimple Fighting Facial Deep Cleanser - with micro cleanse anti-bacterial formula that promises to dry pimples in 3 days and lightens pimple marks. This product contains Salicylic acid, tea tree extract and Vitamin B3. Used this after washing my face before bed, to remove makeup that the cleanser and makeup remover didn't get. Since this cleanser is alcohol base, I use a gentler toner from ZA Cosmetics just to balance the pH level of my skin before ending the night with my L'oreal Revitalift Night Cream.

Human Heart Nature Avocado and Gugo Bark Intensive Hair Mask - In my search for healthier hair, Human Heart Nature never disappoints. This hair mask is effective, no harmful chemicals and smells delicious!

Cycles Sensitive Baby Lotion in pink - it's fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and paraben-free.This lotion is fast-absorbing and non-greasy - just right for the humid summer weather. It also effectively moisturizes my baby's delicate skin, removing the scaly-looking dry skin while making it supple and elastic. Contains natural emollients that soothe dry itchy skin and prevents further drying. no parabens, sulfates, dyes and added fragrance that could irritate baby's sensitive and allergy-prone skin.

Zenutrients Green Tea Lotion - I used this as a hand cream on the go. I love the leafy scent. Non-sticky and fast absorbing. Will definitely get a full size of this. Thanks sample room for my sample bottle. <3

Belo Essentials Whitening Lotion - has skin vitamins which includes pentavitin that gently moisturize and nourish skin while enclosing active ingredients for whitening skin. I don't feel the sudden whitening effect but I'm satisfied on how it feels on my skin.

Pantene Pro-V 3 Minute Miracle - know more about this here. Thank you BDJ Box and EverydayMePh for my samples!

Human Heart Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil - click here. If you wanna buy this safely online, check out Eliance Closet on FB and on IG.

Johnson's Baby Bath in Milk and Rice - this post will be incomplete without any Johnson's product. This helps complete skin nourishment for smoother and healthier skin not just for babies but for mommy's too! Definitely included on my snatch-from-the-cradle product list!

ABS Herbs Grace Pure Virgin Coconut Oil - you could swallow a spoonful if you are brave enough but as for me, I use this as a belly rub. Just after bath, my swollen tummy is thirsty for moisture and this oil (aside from my HHN Sunflower oil) is perfect. Fast-absorbing, it effectively make my skin more elastic and the light coconut scent is relaxing.

Avon Naturals Body Care Lightening Papaya and Soy Milk - promises 30 hours of moisture. It contains papaya fruit extract for skin balancing nutrients and hydrolyzed milk protein for conditioning the skin. I'm not convinced on its 30 hours moisturization but it leaves my skin a delicious sweet fruity floral scent.

Band-Aid Isoproryl Alcohol - it's disinfectant, antiseptic and with moisturizer? What more can I ask for? ;)

High Desert Clover Honey - pure, natural, unprocessed. This honey is perfect as sugar replacement, spread or as a hot concoction. I love using this as a therapy for my soar throat and to strengthen my lungs. What I do is I mix two spoonful of this in a hot water, I sometimes squirt a lemon or a calamansi whichever is available.

Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer in pink - the smell is divine, the product works wonder on my pores. Good base before foundation. What I hate about it is that I didn't, couldn't used up all the product because of its packaging.

Dove Damage Therapy Intense Repair Conditioner - with patented micro moisture serum and fiber actives that reconstructs hair deep inside and prevents split ends and breakage. It promises of up to 9x less split ends. This product is for frizzy hair, and since mine has very fine line, my thin hair weighs heavy on my scalp and is literally sticking on my face.

High Desert Honeybee Pollen - has natural vanilla, honey and whey. The toddler liked it so much, I need to hide the bottle to make it last. More about the goodness in this on a separate post. Stay tuned!

Head & Shoulders Shampoo in Cool Menthol - all I could say is, this is perfect for summer. Wanna iced up your scalp and feel cleaned, refreshed and energized? Use this.

Celeteque DermoScience Sun Care in face and body sun defense cream - with SPF 50 and Broad Spectrum uva and uvb protection. Perfect for everyday use. Very versatile as it could be use for face and body. A bag resident for reapplication in the afternoon.

Colgate Total Charcoal Deep Clean - reduces bacteria build up by up to 90% for a superior deep clean. More about this here.

Aido Cosmetic lipstick in H - tangerine color has very good pigmentation, affordable, locally available, creamy, no weird scent, good for everyday use but the plastic packaging looks cheap and you have to reapply every now and then.

Glamworks Charcoal Nose Pore Strips

Lately I've been being stubborn on putting a face base on - bb cream, cc cream, foundation even concealer on my nose area because (as much I would like to hide it, it does the reverse and stick out especially when I put powder to seal it in) of my whiteheads. It's rough and just plain stubborn! Blame me, I usually skip removing my heavy makeup on in the evening before going to bed! But I'm trying! One of my ways to "solve" this was to get myself some pore strips!

Glamworks Charcoal Nose Pore Strips is Php245 per box with 12 individually wrapped strips - but as a certified cheapskate, I bought mine on sale Php200 only for two boxes - so that's 24 strips! Woot woot!

As seen on the package it promises

- instant removal of blackheads

-draws out impurities

-absorbs oil and dirt

-unclog deep pores

Best used after removing makeup, washing face and cleansing. Wet the nose area (the water will activate the strip's adhesive). With dry hands, peel the strip off, the smooth black (charcoal) surface will be the one to sit on your nose. Gently smooth out the bubbles and even out the strip. Wait 10 to 15 minutes before gently removing, tugging from the side outwards. Wet the parts where it is too painful or too sticky to remove.

Sorry for the sad puppy eyes! I think I'm too sleepy! lol

I won't post the residue because it was dis-gus-ting! It is filled with whiteheads sticking out! It's amazing! Aside from that, what I observe is that, dirt, makeup residues and facial hair were also there so it leave my skin reddish and some parts where it hurts the most stings. The leftover "charcoal" on my nose were easily removed with water.

Overall, it is does its job effectively. And on to my next strip, I would definitely...

- wet nose with warm water to make pores open up

-rinse with cold water to make my pores close

-apply facial cream and moisturizer

I will undergo this strip-nose-therapy for a couple of weeks. 1 to 2 strips per week and then reduce it to 2 strip per month after several time or until I consume all of the strips!

I won't purchase this again though, as I would like to try other strips! :) But if you are on a tight budget and desperately need one (like I do), this is worth a try!

Have a blackhead/whitehead free nose! xx
