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.

Product Empties #24 : My Lucky Seven

Hello and welcome back to my blog. Let me introduce you to my Product Empties Series. It's the 24th one already and let's get cracking.

My Product Empties # 24 : My Lucky Seven

1. Sanicare Cleansing Wipes

These cleansing wipes are gentle, alcohol-free, lightly-scented with Eucalyptus and safe for children too. They feel very soft and have this cloth-like texture for that thorough cleansing.  One pack contains 80 sheets.

VERDICT: An absolute winner. This really is very reliable and travel-friendly. The price point is also another advantage. A must buy for everybody.

2. Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick in Rich Ruby

I like how creamy and smooth this feels on the lips. A good lip color for everyday use and can be worn during date nights too. 

VERDICT: This is another favorite here in this list. Nice color pay off and makes you look more put together. A good lipstick to try.

3. Belo SunExpert Tinted Sunscreen

It's a tinted sunscreen that has a medium to deep shade. It's very lightweight and easy to use. I've reviewed this product before so you can check HERE for more details.

VERDICT: A good product to try. It's a sunscreen and a good foundation all in one tube. 

4. Colour Collection All Day Wear Lengthening Mascara

It is designed to define and extend the lashes making them look full. It also claims to be waterproof.

VERDICT:  I think I'll pass on buying this one again. Yes, it's waterproof but I noticed some fall outs throughout the day. One good thing though is that it really makes my lashes thick in one coat. :)

5. Real Skin Healthy Vinegar Skin Toner in Makgeoli

It's a healthy vinegar skin toner that has makgeoli. This ingredient mainly helps to brighten and nourish the skin making it clearer and better. More information about this product can be seen HERE from my previous post.

VERDICT: For its price point, it's a yes. Though the effects don't happen overnight, I really seem them coming after 1 week of using it. I will definitely repurchase this soon.

6. Miracle Fit Essence Concealer by Secret Key

It claims to cover blemishes and give the skin a healthy look. It does have SPF 30++ . It also has green tea extract and green tea seed oil to promote hydration and moisture. More swatches and photos can be seen HERE. 

VERDICT: It's a good steal. I used this as my trusted base replacing my foundation during the hot summer days and it did perform well. I will hoard this one again for sure. 

7. Milky Dress Wrinkle and Whitening Eye Cream
It's an eye cream that targets 2 main points. It claims to whiten the under eye area and help with the wrinkle care. I did review this product before and you can see it HERE

VERDICT: I'll pass this one for now. This eye cream is very much suitable for young skin.

That's a wrap for me. Thanks for  visiting this blog and hope you find this helpful. Let me know if you've used some of the products that I've mentioned about. As I always say, take care and let's continue to discover new and good skin care products.

REVIEW : Miracle Fit Essence Concealer

Hi everyone. Today, I have another review about a good concealer that's good for everyone to use daily. As you all know by now, I come from the Philippines so wearing foundation is really uncomfortable especially on hot and humid days. I've learned this technique from my fave Youtuber Joan Kim. She recommended using a good concealer as your trusted foundation. Gladly guys, it works wonders. Please try it. Anyhow, let's get to know more this concealer right here first.

What's it about?
This name is the Miracle Fit Essence Concealer by Secret Key. It has SPF 30 / PA ++ also. It claims to cover skin blemishes quickly giving this healthy look. Additionally, it has green tea extract and green tea seed oil to promote hydration and moisture.

BEST POINTS
* Whitening
* Sunblock protection
* Wrinkle care benefit

SHADE: I have here color 23 which is the natural beige.

TEXTURE: It is very light and easy to blend in the skin. Also, it is easy to pile and layer on the skin for that added coverage.

PACKAGING: Nothing fancy and just pretty straightforward.

COVERAGE: It's like from light to medium coverage. 

My Overall Thoughts
Well, another winner right here. Actually this product reminds me of the famous Missha's The Style Under Eye Brightener. It looks almost the same from its packaging actually. However, this one here is much much better because of its skin care benefits as well. 

Well, I've been using this for about two months or so as my go-to foundation and it really doesn't disappoint. If you're on the hunt of a good and reasonable concealer, then you must try this here.

Have you used this concealer right here? How was it? Let's share information and exchange relevant ideas then. That's it for me.

Celebrating Althea's 2nd Birthday and My Haul

Hello guys. I am back here to showcase my haul from Althea Korea. It's not really much compared to the other ones I've done before. I just wanted to spend my points and bought the items that really were on sale and captured my attention as well. Let's dig in.

The Althea Birthday Box ^ ^

A Teapot Party with my very own Althea goodies

Why it's the best time of the year to shop?

- Sale is everywhere. I kid you not.

-Birthday giveaway everyday

-Contests and promos

-All sorts of exciting things

Here's my Althea Haul

1. Nella Multi Toning Essence Honey1 Snail

It's a toner + lotion + essence all in one product. It claims to deeply nourish the skin because it has honey, royal jelly and propolis. It's also responsible for restoring skin's elasticity and brightening the skin.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

It really improves my skin texture making it smoother and softer. Plus, it saves my money and time since it's a 3-in-1 product already.

2. Missha Under Eye Brightener - GIVEAWAY, Got this as a FREEBIE

It's a watery liquid concealer that covers blemishes and dark circles. I've reviewed this before and kindly click on the link more details about this product.

3. Etude House Double Lasting Foundation in Sand

It's a long lasting foundation that provides a perfect coverage. It feels very light and smooth on the skin when used.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I really love this foundation. It covers skin blemishes pretty decently. It also makes my skin less oily throughout the day and most especially it gives that natural flawless look.

4. It's Skin Waterfull Highlighter Polish in 02

It has a natural shine effect that gives a natural glowing skin. Its formula that is a liquid consitency like that of a nail polish provides a radiant and dewy complexion. 

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
It's easy to use and blend on the skin. That silky and dewy finish it gives the skin is very flattering. But it isn't long lasting especially on hot and humid days.

5. Secret Key Miracle Fit Essence Concealer

It's a concealer with a creamy texture. It claims to cover skin imperfections with just one touch. It also easy to layer for that high coverage effect but still gives a natural finish.

( I didn't open this product yet since I have the Missha one. No first impressions for this one guys. Sorry. Opps.)

That's it for me today. I'd like to grab this chance to thank Althea for always giving us amazing and genuine products all the time. Thank you for my points also. Happy 2nd Birthday once again and more years to come. As always, let's all stay beautiful inside and out.
