My Personal Photos  

My Overall Thoughts / Experiences

• To be honest, I wasn't very certain how this review will flow. I'll just focus on what it claims to do, its effects and basically that's it.
• SCENT - It has this mild powdery smell. Not overpowering at all in my opinion.
• PACKAGING - Very straightforward. Also, I like that it's travel-friendly. The round shape of its cover is good enough for that easy grip.
• EFFECTS - I've used this for a good amount of 2 weeks. I've noticed my underarm skin condition has gotten smoother. It also looks better overall.
• THE BEST THING of this is that it helps me feeling fresh all day. Something very reliable to use for my everyday needs.
• ? JUST be careful though since it's on the liquid form. It somehow takes a few minutes to make it fully dry on the skin.
• Overall, this is a very decent product for my underarms. It does what it is supposed to do. I'll prolly repurchase this once it goes on sale perhaps.

Thanks for sending this @tryandreview . This is definitely a good essential I'll use as I go on with my daily tasks and errands. That's it for me today. Thanks for taking your time to read this blog entry. Take care guys! Have a good week ahead.

REVIEW : Sebum Out Oil Control Mist

Hello everyone! As you already know, I live in this tropical country that is always hot and humid all year round. Today, I have here a good product that you're surely love and enjoy using to make our skin shine free. I am talking about The Sebum Out Oil Control Mist by W. Lab Global. Let's continue then.

What is it about?

This is a sebum controlling mist that contains solid particles that absorb excess oil and sebum on the skin. It also contains tea tree water that fights against pimples.

Scent : Smells like wet grasses in my opinion. Literally the tea tree smell is out there.

Size : It has 50 ml.

Packaging : It comes in this usual spray bottle type.

My Personal Photos

How do I use it?

• First, I use it as a regular mist, probably 1-2 pumps is enough per use.
• Second,  I mix this with my toner to double the effect of hydration.
• Third, I use this to wet my sponge for my makeup application.

My Final Verdict

Basically, it's a pretty decent product. It does the job as expected. It also helps me feel refreshed and cool down especially on a hot day. Next, it keeps oil at bay for about 4-5 hours. Most importantly, it doesn't disturb my makeup. Overall, since I've misting these days then this is definitely a keeper. I can easily use this anytime anywhere to hydrate myself and make myself shine and oil free at the same time too. A good combination for the win.

That's it for me. As always, take care and always stay inspired in everything that you do.

Review : Phyto Niacin Whitening Essence by Nacific Official

Good day guys! I am back with another review of a product I truly swear by and use religiously every single day. What I'm talking about is the famous Phyto Niacin Whitening Essence.

 🌿What it claims to do?
It claims to reduce dark spots / skin discolorations and brighten dull skin using the whitening essence.

🌿Star Ingredients
°Niacinamide - improves skin tone for a healthier and brighter look on the face
°Bamboo Leaf extract - has hydrating & anti-aging properties
°Rose carina seed extract & lemon extract - brighten dark spots for a more radiant skin

My Photos of the Product

🌿My overall thoughts /experiences

•  It has this light and runny texture that makes it easy to spread on the skin. Easily absorbed by the skin too.
•  It has thick and and clear bottle which looks very nice and chic. also comes with a dropper. Yay
•  It only uses natural ingredients which is a BIG PLUS for me. It's safe and gentle on the skin.
•  It is fragrance free. No smell whatsoever. 😀
•  It also has anti-aging properties. 😀
•  It really hydrates the skin.
•  It's reasonably priced in the market too.
•  It really works well with my other skincare products. Acts like a skin booster. 😀
•  Overall, I am overjoyed to say that this whitening essence really works. Makes the skin soft, plum and glowing.
•  It's best to use on troubled skin esp on the healing phase since it will reduce the appearance of dark scars.
•  It's great to use on uneven skin tone like on the arms part (that line marked by wearing a top), elbows and knees. I use this with my body lotion.
•  It doesn't have a quick effect in a matter of days. It took about a week or more to see good results. However, if you're using other whitening skincare products already, its effect may not be very noticeable unless you use this solely as your whitening agent. 

That's it for me. Glad I found this gem by stalking other skincare accounts. As always, continue to shine and be inspired. Never let anyone dull your sparkle.

REVIEW : Heimish Bulgarian Rose Water Hydrogel Eye Patches

Good day everyone. I am back to do another review about this pretty product. If you belong to the skincare community, this product is all over my feed. Truth be told, I always gush and stare at its beauty. What I am talking about is the Heimish Bulgarian Rose Water Hydrogel Eye Patches. Luckily, I was kindly gifted by GoBloomandGlow to test these out. ^ ^ Yay to that, right? Well, let's keep this going.

What is it about?

This is described as a multi-functional product as it gives extra care and moisture to our eye area, eyebrows part, smile lines and the cheeks as well. It is infused with Bulgarian rose water to recharge the skin and boost moisture. Mainly it has two main benefits that are anti-wrinkle and brightening synergistic effects. It also claims that it performs well much better than using an eye cream. The best part of this product is it's 100% safe to use since it's a water soluble kind of eye patch and doesn't contain any harmful ingredients.

How To Use This?
After cleansing and toning your face, place the eye patch on the desired facial area. Use the spatula in scooping the product out of the tub.  Leave it on for 20-30 minutes then remove it afterwards.

Another alternative is you can use this as an essence.

How to do it? Put some eye patches on an empty glass. Pour some hot water and naturally they will dissolve since they are water soluble. Viola, you have now your own diy essence.

My Snapshots Of This Product

The hydrogel patches look semi-transparent when put under the eyes.

PROS

• First and foremost, this hydrogel eyepatches are the prettiest I've seen so far both in person and on my Instagram feed. They shine and glitter especially when light hits them.

• The size of the tub is pretty big as it contains 60 pieces inside.

•  In addition, I like that these patches are very versatile enough as you can put them anywhere on the face and even on the neck. It also has some rich essence so you can put the excess on other parts of the skin that need hydration.

• I have to mention also that they give me this cooling and refreshing sensation. An added bonus especially when used at night, it helps me to relax my eye area.

• As a first time user of hydrogel patches, somehow they are a good alternative to using the normal eye cream.

• MOST IMPORTANTLY, these patches help in depuffing my eyebags. They look less swollen and somehow in a better situation.

CONS

•  I'll have to be honest that I really had a hard time scooping out the products using the spatula. They are just so slipper and hard to get a hold of quickly.

• I had a hard figuring out how to put the patches under my eye. If the rounder one will be put on the inner corner of my eye or the other way around.

• These patches seem to slide around the skin and don't seem to remain in place. 

• Hydration effect was pretty ok but not very long lasting to my liking.

• When it comes to the wrinkle care, dark circles and the rest, I am sad to say these don't help at all. 

My Overall Thoughts

Well, I can clearly say that it's still a lovely experience after all. As a first time user of eye patches, I am pretty satisfied and happy especially these don't sting the eye. My under eye situation somehow improves gradually.

*Will I continue to use these? Oh yes definitely. On days I don't feel like using my eye cream then this product can be a good substitute. 

*Will I buy this again? Yes if goes on sale. 

*I'd like to say my heartfelt gratitude to GoBloomAndGlow and Heimish Korea for this chance. You can visit them respectively for more lovely products. Till next time and continue to shine and glow. Take care.

REVIEW :Jeju Aloe Ice Refreshing Soothing Gel by The Face Shop

As you all know already that I've been a fan of  their soothing aloe gel for the longest time. I was on the hunt of trying something new and one day I saw this one in their physical store. I knew I just had to get it. Why? The idea of JEJU ALOE ICE totally caught my attention. Anyhow, let's continue this review.

What is it about?

This Jeju Aloe Refreshing Soothing Gel is formulated with aloe vera extract from Jeju to soothe and moisturize the skin. It's an innovative product from the gel consistency to like ice ( when placed in the freezer) that is especially formulated to people living in hot and humid places. This product can be used both on the face and all over the body. Also, this product can be used variously for moisturizing, soothing, like a facial pack and after-sun-care. 

Here's the consistency of the product in a room temperature

TIP: For a  more  effective and  soothing  result, you may put this product refrigerated or in the freezer especially during hot summer days before actually using it to boost its effects. Here are the photos of the soothing gel after being chilled.

SIZE: It is 300 ml.
PRICE: It costs P250.
PACKAGING: It comes in this big tub that contains the product. It has a kind of lid that serves as its cover to minimize the product from spilling.
TEXTURE: It feels like a soft creamy texture in a normal room temperature. However, it turns into this slight thicker like a frozen yogurt. Something like that.

PROS

*It is quite reasonably priced in terms of its quantity and offers several uses on the skin.

*It is absorbed very quickly on the skin making the skin soft and hydrated.

* It feels gentle and is very lightweight.

* It gives this healthy texture on the skin making it glow somehow.

*Most importantly, it has many purposes so this makes it a winner in my opinion.

CONS

* It isn't travel-friendly as you can already see. 

*The hydration effect can seem to be temporary so you need to double moisturize to boost moisture.

My Overall Thoughts

Well, I'm pretty satisfied with this product right here. It is really a staple for anyone looking for a  good soothing  gel  and is living in hot tropical countries like me. I  love  the cooling  sensation it gives to  my  skin. Also, I  can  tell my skin always  loves  this  product because  it has this healthy  and  hydrated texture. One  more  thing, this  has  longer lasting effect compared to the normal aloe soothing gel so I now get it why this is priced a bit higher. Will I recommend it? Oh  yes definitely. Also, if you have a matured  skin like mine, then use  this  one with  your other moisturizer to fully boost the hydration on the skin. It works better that way too.

Well, that's about it for me. Hope you find this helpful. Have you tried this product before? What is you go-to moisturizer? I would love to know your thoughts as well. Take care everyone. Always take care of yourself especially your skin.

REVIEW: Innisfree No Sebum Powder Cream

Good day beautiful friends. I'm back with another review. This is the Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder. I was pretty curious about this because as you all know I've been a big fan of their powder version. This I believe is the cream version. Let's continue this review then.

What's it about?
This is the famous No Sebum Mineral Powder Cream.  This cream blends onto the skin so easily leaving a matte finish that feels so smooth and soft. Its main purpose is to minimize the appearance of sebum on the skin making our makeup last all day long. Also, this powder cream has 3 basic functions like a moisturizer, primer and sebum controller all rolled into one.

* My Personal Photos of the Product*

The product comes with a mini spatula.

The expiry date is indicated at the back of the tub.

I intentionally draw a line here to make sure I don't forget where I put the product.

Notice the left side. That's how the product looks when it's spread.

Viola. The product is fully absorbed in the skin.

After, the left side of my hand feels smoother and softer. The pores and lines of my hand tend to look less visible.

KEY INGREDIENTS

* Green Tea Extracts - rich in antioxidants and amino acids that make the skin young and healthy

*Peppermint Leaves Extracts - cools down the skin. has anti-bacterial properties that heal and prevent future breakouts

*More Product Details*
SIZE: It is 25 g.
PACKAGING: The product comes in a mint colored plastic tub. It also comes with a small spatula. Labels about the product are written in English on the cover.
TEXTURE: It feels very smooth and quite thick which is similar to a whipped cream consistency. Once you put this on the skin,  it turns into this powder-like texture and just melts into the skin giving it a matte look.
SCENT: It has this slight hint of freshness ( a combination of citrus and floral scent together) which is very appealing to me. It smells relaxing and soothing at the same time.

My Overall Thoughts
Well, I'd say I'm not totally blown away with this product here as I have high hopes of using this one.  About the good points first, let me enumerate them one by one. First, it is effective as it claims to really reduce oiliness especially on T-zone area. I only need to do minimal touch ups which is a pretty good already. Second, it also helps in making the face smoother. My pores  looks smaller in some ways. Third, it did moisturize my face upon application.  

Now for the bad points, I'm not totally sure if it does what it claims to be a good moisturizer, primer and sebum controller all in one go. Maybe it does work well for young skin but not for matured skin.  Next, I did test this out with my hubby's skin. He has oily skin type. Unfortunately, it didn't help him minimize his oily T-zone area. This isn't good for oily skin type I believe.  Lastly, I tried using this over my foundation but it was messy and made my face oilier if that makes sense. I figured this should sit under makeup more comfortably. :)

That's about it for me. Hope you find this helpful. How about you guys? What primer are you into these days? Let's share some good handful ideas. See you in my next review. Always stay inspired.
