Review: Beach Born All Natural Sea Salt Spray

Here is another post that goes for summer. Its a late post yaaaas~

Perfect summer waves, sexy curls and untouched just-woke up messy hair is just love love love. I was born with naturally wavy hair but I usually suffer from frizziness and unruly hair especially if I don't use conditioner. Before I have tried hair rebond for about 3 times but when I became a fan of changing my hair color I can't do it anymore. There is too much chemicals and besides I've already

embraced my naturally wavy hair. Sometimes though, my hair is unruly and quite frizzy, now enter the new hair buddy I've found with Beach Born All Natural Sea Salt Spray.

Packaging 

The product is in a brown spray type bottle with black cap and a woven ribbon. The product contains not much product info except the name. I can easily use the spray without any problems. It contains 100ml and it expires 1 year from the manufacturing date.

Experience 

I dry my hair while on the go (commuting to office) then I spray some product before I bun my hair. I actually have my own way of turning my hair into a bun. I prefer my hair almost dry because it doesn't curl when I tie its damp. So its in a bun from 7am to 12pm, to make sure its gonna be curly. 

STEP 1: Spray it on your hair

STEP 2: Bun your hair 

STEP 3: After a few hours let down your hair~ (sounds like Rapunzel)

STEP 4: Hello wavy hair that lasts longer!

Okay so the above gif is just done in a matter of an hour for blogging purpose mehehe. But I usually let it in a bun longer. If you like it just messy sexy waves then leave it shorter. Like any other hair sprays it still makes hair kinda sticky at first and quite dry to touch after so I suggest don't go happy go lucky on the hair spray.

I've let my friend try the spray however we had a hard time because she has above the shoulder hair length and we cannot easily tie her hair. We ended up messing up her hair for the day because we tied the wrong sections, its our fault.

How much and where to buy? 

P180 for 100ml bottle at Beautymnl

What I love 

• Its all Natural
• Fragrance-free
• Affordable
• Locally made
• Add bounce to your hair
• Add volume
• Create curls easier for long straight hair

What I don't 

• Nothing I can mention

TIPS 

Shake well before using, spray only on hair sections you wish to style or curl

Store in a room temperature.

Will I repurchase? 

Yes. 

Overall~ 

Beach Born All Natural Sea Salt Spray is the solution to lifeless hair. Its easier to get bouncy waves with it, it makes curling easier. Especially if your hair is naturally straight that is. This is a better alternative to chemical hair sprays in the market. Now I don't feel guilty when I use hair sprays because I know its natural and won't damage my hair. :)

Review: Tofu Soap (Skinwhite by Nuch)

Thailand is slowly becoming a popular source for beauty products lately. I have seen more imported Thailand beauty products at bazaars and online shops compared to before. I guess Thailand is the new Korea or Japan in terms of beauty. And so I gave in to my curiosity when I went with my friend in Trinoma's Pop Up Store. They have a lot of Thailand beauty products in there as well as special online only items you can find in instagram.

So I purchased Tofu Soap and some other stuff. Tofu Soap by Nuch is a pretty popular beauty item and I am really impressed because they have so much positive feedback from their avid users.

What is it? 
A popular tofu skin soap from Thailand. It is said to contain soybean extract and Vitamin E but I've just read it somewhere. I really have a hard time getting information for the Tofu Soap because the box is only filled with Thai words.

Tofu Soap 

For large open pores, mild pimples and whitening.

Comes with anti aging properties. Best seller. Face and body use.

Packaging 
Cute square box which perfectly fits the round white soap. But as mentioned since its in thai words, we can only be sure that the manufacturer is Skin White by Nuch.

Experience 

I've only used the soap on my face at first. The soap doesn't lather much and there is no foam but I feel like my face is clean after usage. The soap is drying and my face felt tight but it also looked radiant. My pores also seemed minimized but after a while it comes back to normal. In terms of scent, no it doesn't smell like anything. There is no scent at all.

To be fair to the product itself, I have used it alone all throughout my usage of the soap. I have a few pimples before using it but after around 5 days I felt like I was a walking potato. I had more pimples than before and I  had a bad breakout. I stopped using it because it was obvious that my skin is already irritated. In case you might be wondering I only normally have 2-3 pimples. But this time I cannot control my skin breakout anymore and acne gel just won't cut it. I've decided to use it on my body instead, it was effective on drying out my backne.

In terms of whitening and getting rid of dark spots there was no significant changes.

How much and where to buy?
P65 at Trinoma Pop Store

What I like 

• Minimized pores every after wash
• No scent

What I don't 

• Drying
• Did not whiten my skin nor dark spots
• Irritated skin and gave me more pimples

Will I repurchase? 
No

Overall~ 
What works for me won't necessarily work for you and vice versa. I do not recommend this to girls with very sensitive skin like mine.

Something new: Sample Room Loot!

TGIF! Thank God its Friday.
Last night it was raining so hard and I don't have my umbrella with me. I came home looking like a wet duckling. As you can see, I am not the type who will wait for the rain to stop. Lololoool~ *sniff*

Anyhow I got my package from Sample Room this week. What I like with Sampleroom is they process orders quickly. You also got to try full size products at a fraction of the price. If you haven't signed up yet this is a great time to do so.

This are the items inside their cute Sampleroom paper bag:

I really like whitening soaps and I can't get enough of them. So I got myself:

o Gluta-C Glutathione & Vitamin C with Kojic Plus + Face & Body Soap (long name lol) 

o Olay Skin Whitening Bar with Vitamin C  

o Dove Whitening deodorant 

Once again thank you Sampleroom! 

Will be reviewing them the soonest~

Review: Beautyfix Peel Off Mask in Oil Control & Detoxify

Early mornings and late night hours is the usual day to day life of many. Traffic and pollution is our daily battle which is one of the cause of breakout and stress. One way I find to pamper myself is to use facial mask every time I feel like my face already looks tired and stress out.

Here comes Beautyfix Peel Off Mask in Oil Control & Detoxify. I bought this is Watsons, it comes in 2 variants: Whitening and Oil Control. I intend to use the first one, but my sister said I am experiencing a bad breakout and this can be of good help. Before when buying beauty products I always get the whitening variant and I give the anti-acne one to my sister. I think the world turned upside down because we switched places. Her skin looks better now (she is stuck at home btw) and well me, I experience occasional bad breakouts every now and then (yes blame it to pollution and stress).  

Anyway so off to our review:

What is it? 

Beautyfix Peel Off Mask in Oil Control & Detoxify

Beautyfix Peel-Off Mask controls oil and detoxifies skin, removing dead skin, clearing up deep-seated dirt and other impurities. Loaded with vitamins and active ingredients that will restore the elasticity of skin and combats acne leaving skin glowing and healthy. Suitable for all types of skin.

I am really fascinated with black facial masks, white masks are well umm ordinary. With black masks you can easily if there are white heads being peeled with it etc. making it look really effective IMO.

Packaging
As you can see this is enlosed in a simple yet kawaii packaging. There is no information regarding the manufacturer though, only the distributor details are on the back.

Sachets is good if you feel thrifty and you don't want to waste unused face mask in a tub or tube this is a good way to go. This is also perfect for travel.

Water, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Pectin, Glycoproteins, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Apple Extract, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Titanium Dioxide, Bisabolol, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Charcoal Powder, DMDM Hydantoin, Parfum

So it contains charcoal powder which is explains why the color is black, it is known to absorb oil and impurities as well as a good way to detoxify skin. It also contains ascorbic acid which is known to lighten skin.

Experience

So do not follow what I did, girls make sure you wash your face with warm water before applying the product. I suppose it makes a big difference. I applied the product on my face, it feels cool and refreshing. The scent is light and not over powering. After a few minutes when the product started to dry up I felt like my forehead is too tight. I had a headache and I badly want to peel it off. The max I have managed to leave it on my face is 15 minutes.

Beautyfix Peel Off Mask in Oil Control & Detoxify

At first I thought Beautyfix Peel Off Mask will peel off easily like the iWhite cream masks I've tried before. I was surprised to know that it will not be an easy task to remove it from my face because it hurts like crazy. If you want to get rid of your facial hairs this is the way to go. Hahaha. I accidentally applied on my eyebrow and I needed to wash the brow part with water to melt away the product. I don't want to peel off my eyebrow. Yikes.

Taking off the mask took some time, victory is mine after all the minute of struggle. Haha. So what did I noticed afterwards? No more oiliness, face was quite matte and flawless to touch. The dry patches of skin was also removed, my face looks brighter than before using it. A few white heads were also included in the removal. Because its detoxifying it  can be your perfect weekend face mask.

How much and where to buy?
 P22.00 for 10g sachet in Watsons

What I love 
Affordable
Brightens skin
Removed [some] of my whiteheads
Lightly scented

What I don't 
Painful to peel
Gave me headache

TIPS 
One pack is enough for the whole face, try to spread evenly to easily peel off the mask afterwards.
Make sure to avoid

Will I repurchase? 
Right now no. I've tried this mask so I can try if its good, but I find that Mint Julep gives me the same result as Beautyfix Peel Off Mask.
           
Overall~
Beautyfix Peel Off Mask in Oil Control & Detoxify is a good facial mask to try if you would like to detoxify your skin after a long tiring week.

Can somebody ask Japan to make the Season 2 for Skip Beat please? This anime is so good yet it was left on a cliffhanger. Well story is still on the run in the manga but I am not a manga reader type of person so this saddens me T^T.
