I would love to eat Ice cream cake as of this moment (Bake & Churn Ice cream cakes anyone?) Its on and off rain and sun lately. Its a good thing actually because its not so humid unlike last week.
For today I would be reviewing a Thailand product I have bought. Gluta Nano Plus 900k is a pretty popular product and reading other user's positive feedback convinced me. I hopped on and bought one bottle. I am very eager to take advantage of their buy 3 bottles for P1000 but boyfie pulled me back and says I should try it first. Glad he said it.
Come on now, this is so cheap compared to the first gluta products I have tried before. Crossing fingers, I was hoping that it will work on me!
What is it?
Gluta Nano Plus 900k is a glutathione supplement which is for whitening and v shape face.
Let us forget about the v shape face, because I want chubbier cheeks now.
L-glutathione Rose hip extract Collagen High Vitamin C Hyaluronic acid Berry Extract
Remarks:
Pregnant or Lactating Women and person who are taking medications should consult a health care professional before using. If any adverse reaction occue discontinue use and consult a health care professional.
Imported and distributed by:
PRECIOUS SKIN THAILAND
Packaging
Simple plastic bottle packaging with a secure seal.
Experience
They say that Gluta Nano Plus 900k uses Nano technology to fit in 900,000mg of gluta in just one capsule. One bottle has a mix of collagen capsules as well which is not mentioned in the bottle.
I have high hopes for this product. I had a warm feeling in my throat when I took one capsule. I take one capsule every night and I feel the same warm feeling every time. I have also noticed that my skin is a bit darker than before, which is weird because its supposed to whiten or brighten because it was gluta. I do not expose my skin to the sun as well. in case you might be wondering.
After around 3 days I experienced itchiness on my skin. |I endured this for 2 weeks, thinking that maybe it will subside and just my initial reaction to the product. However it was really bad and I was scratching my skin all over, it left dark marks :(
I have also experienced palpitation during my usage of gluta nano capsules. Which is scary because it did not happened to me before. After 2 weeks I stopped using it to let my skin heal from all the itch and marks. I asked my sister if she would like to try it since there is still left capsules. However we both had the same reaction: palpitation and warm feeling when taking the oral gluta. How much and where to buy?
P350/bottle from online shops and in Pop-up store in Trinoma What I love
- What I don't
Gave me itchy skin
Palpitation
Warm feeling when taking the capsules
Not effective Will I repurchase?
NO. Overall~
I will be more cautious on taking glutathione from now on. And yes maybe the price speaks for the product itself, I felt bad for getting dark marks. Good thing I was able to get rid of those using my whitening soap. Gluta Nano Plus 900k did not work on me but its great if it works wonder on your skin. Remember that works on me might not work for you, and vice versa.
~o~
My road to whitening continues~
Care to share a glutathione product you use? I wonder which whitening cream I try next? My face is darker than my body. Fuhuu~

Is summer ending already? Its rained hard today and somehow I feel gloomy. (o_o??) I also feel like I miss dancing err~ maybe I am just a lil worn out. Anyway here is something I have been loving a lot lately, its a product from Vitapack.
Vitapack Whitening Soap
I've received the soap prior to our summer get away in Cavite. I have made sure to reapply sunblock during our swimming but I still got sunburn on my right shoulder.
What is it? VITAPACK Whitening Soap is the first 8-in-1 whitening soap with eight skin care benefits in just one bar. Our unique combination all Clairju (Japan), VB9 Plus (Korea), Glutathione (Japan) and Argan Oil results in intensive whitening and brightening, and renews and rejuvenates skin for a deeply beautiful glow.
A whitening soap with 8 claims to be: Whitening, Moisturizing, Antibacterial, Brightening, Clarifying, Anti-aging, exfoliating, smoothening.
Packaging
Box is pretty classy in pink. (Ooh~ I really like the shades of pink beauty products use for their packaging nowadays) It also have this silver and white letters, well thought packaging *nods*.
Experience
The first thing I noticed is the round shape of the soap. Its very very easy to hold when I take a bath.
The soap is floral scented and I like it, too bad because it doesn't linger long on my skin T-T. The scent is faint, how I wish it stays on longer. :<
I have been using the Vitapack soap for around 3 weeks now and I have noticed that it melts quite fast. I think it can only last for another week or so on me. Anyway this is not a biggie, I am thinking that this might be my mistake because I have this habit of holding the soap while taking a bath. It doesn't help that the soap is soooo easy to hold. Haha. :)
Next time I will be cutting the soap into four (in attempt to be more economical). I don't see significant effect in terms of whitening but I used sea salt scrub and I was able to get rid of a lot my dead skin cells. In just a matter of a week. There is no sting sensation, no peeling and no dryness. But when I scrubbed I was able to slough dead skin cells. How cool is that? Usually with my other soaps I needed to endure dry skin and stings.
I honestly really really like Vitapack soap. Its over my budget for body, might work great for minimal use, maybe I can make this as my facial soap. I'm yet to try! I cannot attest yet to the whitening effect as I have only tried one bar, but this is really promising as the ingredients are not drying yet it gives exfoliating glowing effect.
How much and where to buy?
It retails at P259 per 90g. of soap.
What I love
Lathers quite well (I certainly love soaps that lathers well)
Round shape means easy grip!
Fresh floral scent
Exfoliates but doesn't dry
Glowing skin
Got rid of sunburn in just a week
Mild and perfect for sensitive skin
What I don't
It melts easily
Scent doesn't last long
Quite expensive for a body soap
TIPS
Cut soap into four to make it last longer!
Will I repurchase?
I got this as a freebie and I think I'll be buying soon!
Overall~
Vitapack Whitening Soap is great as a body soap if you have the budget. Hopefully after cutting it to four it will last longer on me. I recommend this to girls like me who are sensitive to very harsh whitening soaps. This is saving us from all the guilt we get from using too much drying products just to whiten our skin. This is the only non-drying whitening I've used and I am impressed. :)
This is taken just now, no more peeling and my skin is slowly coming back to its normal color..

TONYMOLY Tony Tint Delight in Cherry Pink is our product for the day. I have this tint for a while now. I got it last Dec 6, 2016 from Tonymoly store in SM Manila.
They actually have a 2 shades more and I am also thinking of getting those. Orange for fresh daily look and red for Snow White look. Yay, so credits to Tony Moly for the photo below, click to enlarge.
From Tony Moly: A refreshing multi-tint with fruity scent that can be used on the cheek and lips.
A refreshing multi tint with fruity scent that can be used on the
cheeks and lips. Apply on the center of the ,lips and spread it
outwards.
A liquid consistency type of multi-purpose tint you can use for the lips and cheeks.
Packaging
I
think this is a repackaged version of the Tony Moly tint before. The
one used by Geum Jan Di (remember her from Boys over flowers?. It is in a simple plastic tube but the cap is cute, lookie a heart over here!
It comes with a doe-foot applicator just like a typical lip tint.
Experience
I've honestly missed this tint. I mean come on, this is like a go-to color for natural looks. Meh, although I really like peach for the lips, tint would always be a great option when you want to look all prepped up but do not want to look washed out with pale colors.
I often just use it alone. Or if I feel adventurous I apply it on top of my lipstick for an added oomph. Gradient lips anyone?
It doesn't stay long and is easily gone after eating/drinking. However not a biggie if you have time to reapply.
One thing I have to say is that the name on the body of the tube is easily removed. There was also one time on December when the tint messed up my kikay tube because it leaked! Yikes.
TONYMOLY New Delight Tony Tint in Cherry Pink
How much and where to buy?
P195 for an 8.5ml tube
What I love
The color
As always I love the fruity scent
Doesn't make my lips chap
What I don't
Not long lasting (stays nice at 2 hours most with no drinking or eating)
TIPS
This is my way of doing it, I find it lasts longer if balm is applied after the tint
Will I repurchase?
Yes this is my favorite lip tint so far. And even though I bought other brands I still came back to Tonymoly. Is this true love?
Overall~
Its bang for the buck already, if not for the broken cap I feel bad for the spilled tint on my kit. Love love this TONYMOLY New Delight Tony Tint in Cherry Pink, will surely buy the other shades soon.

So its that time of the year again where I have to go and exchange my eye balls for new ones. Lol. That seemed pretty scary nae? Haha, actually I've bought myself a new set of lenses from Executive Optical, Illusions line: Cyan.
Flexwear Illusions II
Flexwear Illusions2 contact lenses are conventional colored contact lens with natural looking colors for dark eyes where the iris pattern is embedded in the lens to produce a sense of depth.
Flexwear Illusions2 lenses are daily wear lenses and designed for annual replacement. Flexwear Illusions2 are available in Light Brown, Baby Blue, Sandalwood (Brown), Cyan (green), Slate Gray, Sienna (Brown).
I have been a long time fan of big doll eye lenses since college days. Now that I am working it seemed that I lean more on getting natural looking eyes. However I've still picked a not-so ordinary color mehehe. I just can't help it, like really as a kid I fascinate having blue or green eyes haha.
Lookie on how it looks inside the vial:
Behooold~ its close up of my eyes. *yay* See I'm monolid.
Look at the simple design of the lenses. Its nice because it looks grayish but kinda bluish. However its classified by EO as green! Haha
How much and where to buy?
I think I've bought this for around P590 in Executive Optical Buendia branch.
What I love
The color mix of blue, gray and green (the say its very cute!)
Comfortable
Affordable (oh it rhymes)
What I don't
I've tried the Adore Line (quite short at around 2 months or less because I accidentally damaged it) but I feel good with it even when I forget to use eye drop.
Will I repurchase?
Executive Optical Illusions in Cyan is a great choice for students who are prescribed to use lenses but if you have more budget go for their Adore Line.
~o~
I am still not over my Descendants of the Sun feels. Who is with me?
