REVIEW: Royale SKN Optimum White Soap

Beauty October 07, 2016

SKN Optimum White - Clinically proven to reduce hyper-pigmentation, dark spots, and acne scars, resulting to even skin tone and improved texture. Provides a moisturizing formula that effectively combats skin aging. Visible results in 7 days, which progressively increases after 2 weeks.

SKN Optimum White is a new soap product from Royale Business Club International and priced at 210 pesos. As a product distributor I always practice the saying "be the product of your own product" to really ensure that the products that I am offering are of high quality and effective. Yes, I consider myself as an avid user of numerous products from Royale.

Anyway, let's go back to the soap.

Royale have four available variants of soap namely: Kojic Papaya Soap, L-Gluta Power Soap, Anti-ageing Soap, and of course SKN Optimum White Soap. Yes, I've already tried all of them. To be perfectly honest beauty products may work for me but may not work for you kasi nga hiyangan din talaga ang mga ito. I can say na hiyang ako sa Kojic Papaya Soap at L-Gluta Power Soap pero sa Anti-ageing Soap at SKN Optimum White Soap ay hindi. This is not a bad review against the soap but rather an honest review on the product. Hello! Kung ako lang bibigyan ko ng good review lahat ng products kasi alam ko na kapag maganda ang sinabi ko madaming bibili pero hindi kasi ako ganon klase ng tao.

Based on my experience from using SKN Optimum White Soap for more than a week, here are the list of what I've observed that happened to my skin:

Naging combination of oily and dry yung balat ko lalo na sa face
Ang daming lumabas na pimples, white heads and blackheads sa face ko
Meron din nagsilabasan na pimples sa katawan ko
Medyo nagka-allergy din ako ng very slight lang naman

Kaya ang ending, gumamit ulit ako ng either Kojic Papaya Soap or L-Gluta Power Soap. I guess the soap formulation of SKN Optimum White Soap is too strong for my sensitive skin pero kagaya ng sinabi ko hiyangan talaga ang mga beauty products kaya kung gusto mo i-try don't be discourage on my personal experience kasi sa totoo lang meron din iba na hindi hiyang sa Kojic Papaya Soap at L-Gluta Power Soap pero okay naman sa akin. Same goes with the Anti-ageing soap that works pretty well with others but not for me.

Just #SayItWithSwish and Problem Solved

Breath Spray July 22, 2016

In the field of business that we are currently associated I can say that communication is golden. There's actually no room for inconsistency because every information discussed to the clients - both repeat and prospect - are vital. Sure, most of the time I'll be able to seal the deal through online transaction however you cannot just shut your mouth on the day of the event.

By the way, we actually own a photobooth business.

As I was saying - before I made that segue to promote our business - it will be too awkward not to speak during the operation because of the many factors.

We intentionally didn't put an audio countdown because we feel that by doing the countdown ourselves will make us connected to the people using our photobooth.
There would be times that we need to give instructions on where to stand and whatnot and how we we possibly to that without talking.
We need to explain how things work and all that so they - the people who want to take their photo in front of our photobooth setup - will not be confused.
There will be on-the-spot inquiries which of course needed to be entertained.
And the list actually goes on.

Well, to be perfectly honest there are several events wherein I don't have the confidence to say whatever it is that I needed to say because I'm conscious as to what my breath would smell if I talk. Not that I have bad breath but let's face it, there are actually many factors to consider on why the need to be conscious and in my case it'll be regarding the food that I ate before the start of the event. Seriously, I don't want our clients and future clients to know whatever food it is that I munch while waiting for the event to start, LOL!

Good thing I found Swish Breath Spray all thanks to Unilab for sending me enough to last me for maybe 3 or 4 months. I have this feeling that these breath spray helped us gain a plus points because we already have another event booked for August 6.

Come to think of it all you have to do is spray the product in your mouth and it provide instant fresh breath in just 10 seconds. It kills bad breath-causing bacteria so it doesn’t just mask odor plus it's sugar-free and alcohol-free. How cool is that. You will no longer have an excuse of carrying bulky mouthwash in your bag because it comes in convenient 10ml bottles with 2 different flavors - Arctic Chill and Peppermint Fresh - to choose from. Oh! You don't have to worry about the price because its piso per spray (at P105 and lasts up to 100 sprays).

Swish Breath Sprays are available in Mercury Drug, Watsons, South Star, Robinsons, Puregold, Shopwise and other select drugstores/supermarkets nationwide. Of course, made by Unilab.

Before I forget, I want to share a video a funny video which I came across while browsing on Facebook.

Yes, the video may be funny but let's admit that we've also been on his shoes where we need that big boost of confidence to get whatever things to be done. Well, just #SayItWithSwish and viola problem solved just like what the guy in the video did.

REVIEW: Bubble Man Dishwashing Liquid Soap

Bubble Man July 04, 2016

Growing up, I wasn't the typical kid who would happily be lending a hand with the household chores. In fact, sa sobrang spoiled ko sa lola ko I was actually called a couch potato by many kasi nga aside sa pag-aaral talagang kain at tulog lang ang ginagawa ko maghapon. But don't get me wrong kasi tumutulong naman ako sa household chores pero once in a blue moon nga lang or kapag napapagalitan na ako, hehehe.

Fast forward to today.

I didn't thought that things would change simula nong nagpakasal ako at syempre nagkaron ng kids. We all know that being a mom is one tough and flexible job because you'll be whoever they wanted you to be. I'm not complaining at all because I did learned to love my responsibility lalo na pagdating sa kusina. Yes, cooking is now one of the many chores that I always look forward every single say at alam naman siguro natin na katumbas ng masarap na putahe ay ang kabundok na hugasin. I've been very meticulous sa mga cleaning products na ginagamit ko kasi hindi lahat ng products kasundo ng sensitive skin ko. If ever makasundo naman ng sensitive skin ko then masisira naman ang budget namin.

Good thing Ms. Jennifer Dizon of Mikewell World of Household Products Corp. sent me these Bubble Man Dishwashing Liquid Soap for me to try.

I received three (3) variants of the Bubble Man Dishwashing Liquid: Kalamansi, Lemon, and Antibac. My favorite out of the three (3) variants would be the Antibac because it smells like Bubblegum or Blueberry, HAHAHA!

Here are the main reasons why I love and highly recommend the Bubble Man Dishwashing Liquid Soap:

It is non-flammable.
It is non-toxic.
97+% of the chemicals used are readily BIODEGRADABLE.
Contents are free of sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide is used to balance pH of the formulation, however it causes irritability for your hands and extreme dryness. Sodium hydroxide is used usually for cheaper chemicals.
Phosphate-free. STPP (Sodium tripolyphosphate) is a cheaper chemical but is banned in many countries because of its harmful effects to our environment.
It has long-lasting bubbles.
It’s effective even at 3% dilution.
You can also use this dishwashing liquid in washing baby bottles. It’s safe among other competitors.

Sa totoo lang, a little drop on a wet sponge would really go a long way as in madami talagang mahuhugasan tapos ang dali pa banlawan. Natatanggal talaga yung mga grease and oil lalo na sa mga microwaveable na lalagyan sabagay kung yung mga mantika nga sa kawali na pinag-prituhan natatanggal edi mas lalo na sa mga microwaveable tapos hindi na kailangan buhusan ng mainit na tubig.

I'm not a big fan of strong-smelling products kaya hindi ko masyado nagustuhan yung lemon kasi amoy na amoy mo talaga yung pagiging citrus lemon nong product pero hindi naman affected ang effectiveness ng product sa amoy niya. No worries because the smell won't transfer or stay sa mga hinugasan ninyo actually wala nga kayo maaamoy kahit yung lansa nong pagkain na kinain niyo mawawala din.

The packaging actually looks nice except for the bottle nozzle where the product will be released. It's actually okay since release of the product will be controlled but I don't like the push-and-pull process just to open and close the bottle. There are several times to which I find it hard to close the bottle.

Nevertheless, I would still purchase and even recommend using Bubble Man Dishwashing Liquid. Why? Because aside from the obvious that it is really effective, I love how budget-friendly the product is.

Prices as follow:

270ml is Php 32.50
880ml is Php 65.00
270ml (2s) promo pack is Php 55.00
880ml (2s) promo pack is Php 120.00

Kaya sa mga on a budget na misis kagaya ko na gustong makabili ng mura without compromising the quality of the product then I'll definitely go for Bubble Man Dishwashing Liquid na mabibili sa Robinsons, Puregold, Waltermart, Metro, Landmark, Fishermall, and other small supermarket nationwide.

DISCLAIMER: Yes, product may be sent to me for review purposes but I do assure everyone that whatever written in my review are 100% according to my own experience in using the product.

REVIEW: Pilaten Blackhead Pore Strip

Blackhead Pore Strip June 13, 2016

I'll be sharing with you my first impression review regarding this product called Pilaten Blackhead Pore Strip which was given to me by my sister who has an online shop. It was actually given to me for personal purposes but since I saw that this product is a fad right now then I just decided to share my own experience to everyone.

I followed the instructions which says, "After cleansing, apply it evenly onto blackheads and wait about 30 minutes before tearing it off." I actually took a shower first prior to applying the product on my nose.

The Pilaten Blackhead Pore Strip product is a thick liquid substance which will dry up and turn into a peel able mask after 30 minutes of application. By this, application is as easy as applying your favorite moisturizer, liquid foundation, or cream. The color of the product may be in black but it has absolutely no stinky smell at all.

Here's how the product looks like after application. Yes, a his and hers photo with the product is a must, LOL! Nah! We just really wanted to try how effective the product is.

Anyway, after 30 minutes all you have to do is to peel of the product off your face. I suggest that you do a mouth exercise of whatever you call it to stretch the product which will make the peeling much easier. Also, be ready because peeling might sting a little but I promise that it will be tolerable enough for you to enjoy the peeling process.

Here's the result for my product review.

I didn't expect too much knowing that the price range of the product would be below Php 100 but I am still amazed because it really did worked and got rid of some of my blackheads maybe not a 100 percent but I'm pretty satisfied.

The only thing that I don't like about the Pilaten Blackhead Pore Strip was that a lot of product will just go to waste upon application. I actually used my index finger in applying the product on my nose and upon application some products went on my nose while the others remained on my index finger. But then again, maybe it's just the method that I used to apply the product on my nose.

Will I purchase/repurchase the product again? Definitely yes.

Will I recommend the product? Another big yes however I'll leave you with the quote "try/buy at your own risk" because I believe that each of us have different skin type thus the effectiveness of the product will also vary from one person to another.

If you are interested to watch my first impression review regarding this product, feel free to do so.
