THAILAND BEAUTY PRODUCTS *review* UPDATE!!!

hello everyone!
I just purchase thailand's best seller products online on Instagram.
I will review after 2 weeks or a month on these following products I bought:

CHOM NITA White Series Soap 120g (P400.00)
Update!! Ok, this soap is expensive. But my brother compliments my skin saying it lighten a bit. And thats all. For 400 pesos one person says it lighten and not even sure. It did not lighten dark areas like what it claims. ; (



TAMARIND GLUTA SOAP by Wink White 70g (came as a freebie) 
Update! Smells OK. But I no big difference in whitening. 



PLACENTA WHITE SHOCK 30capsule (P580.00)


GLUTA 400000mg 10capsules (P270.00)

Update!! I see no difference using GLUTA 400K and placenta white shock. My complexion stayed the same but I can say im glowing. The feeling your skin did not whiten but you feel good and look good aura. Maybe because of the placenta or gluta. But after consuming all these no effect on whitening.


CHERRY WHITE underarm cream 5g (P100.00)

Update: cherry white is NOT Effective! Consumed 3 cherry white u/a cream and 2 feminine cream and believe me I did NOT see any effects! Frustrated about these products who claims that they can whiten And has good reviews. My ua and feminine area are darker than the rest of my body and sad to say.. it stay the same. The RADISH CREAM seems to be good in maintaining your skin's texture and appearance but sad to say again after consuming 1 100g jar of this, no effect. Still the same. I thought it whiten my hard to whiten area but it did not. 
The WHITE OVER NIGHT MASK is a good one! Consumed 1 5g small tiny winy jar for about 2 weeks and the effect was amazing. Super smooth skin everytime I woke up. Feels moisturize and supple but It did not whiten mu spots and pimple scars.

CHERRY WHITE Feminine Cream 5g (P100.00)
RADISH CREAM 100g ( P500.00)
WHITE OVER NIGHT MASK 5g (P250.00)

I will make reviews on these products once I've tried it all. Im hoping for great results :)
Please tell me if you see some of the items at lower or higher price to other online stores.

Skinfood Platinum Grape cell BB cream VS Tonymoly Expert Triple BB cream!

Hi everyone! 

It's time for a BB cream duel between SKINFOOD and TONYMOLY! I have a couple of sample sachets of these two BB cream so I decided to compare them...the simplest way possible! ;)



On the RED Corner: 
SKINFOOD PLATINUM GRAPE CELL ESSENTIAL BB CREAM SPF45/PA+++

On the BLUE Corner: 
TONYMOLY EXPERT TRIPLE BB CREAM SPF45 PA+++


cONSISTENCY: 
skinfood is more liquidy thus easy to blend, tonymoly is more matte and also blends well

skinfood ★★★★☆ 
tonymoly ★★★★☆ 

COLOR:
skinfood is lighter in shade, while tonymoly is a little darker

skinfood ★★★★☆ 
tonymoly ★★★★☆ 

SMELL:
skinfood smells like the usual BB cream/ make-up product(all in all no noticable smell), while tonymoly has a little sweet scent.

skinfood ★★★★☆ 
tonymoly ★★★★☆ 

SUN PROTECTION FACTOR:
both has SPF45/PA+++ so... ★★★★★ 
it's really nice to have a BB cream that has high SPF!! :)









COVERAGE:
skinfood gives a good coverage however my dark spots and few blemishes are still visible on my cheeks, same with tonymoly that also gives good coverage however I noticed that my face is lighter even though the BB cream's shade is a little darker compared to skinfood.

skinfood ★★★★☆ 
tonymoly ★★★★☆ 

OIL CONTROL:
skinfood has good oil control that lasts upto a few hours but I am amaze with tonymoly's ability to make my face less shiny for couple of hours.

skinfood  ★★★☆
tonymoly  ★★★★☆ 

PRICE: (based on the lowest price available)
skinfood cost around $23.99 or Php 1,200 on ebay!    ★★★☆
tonymoly cost around $14.80 or Php 775.00 on ebay!  ★★★★★

WHICH BB CREAM CAUSE BREAKOUTS?
~~ I experienced one to three small zits that goes away after 2 days when I used this two interchangeably..but so far..no major breakouts!

MY VERDICT:

i actually like these two.. I love skinfood specially how it blends well in my skin however, it has less oil control. and it's a bit pricey compared to tonymoly who offers same coverage, same SPF yet has the best oil control in all the BB creams I've tried. I don't mind using these two.. these BB creams are the two of the best bb creams out there!!

Hope this review helps! ;)

TONY MOLY MINI LIP TINT REVIEW~~

hello everyone! just wanna share my current fave lip tint~~
 TONY MOLY LIP TINT in Cherry Pink ♥




Why I like this??
Because it taste OK! I dont like LIPstick cause I love licking anything on my lips.. hate lipgloss and lipstick!! But definitely loves the taste of this tint. Once applied, it dries pretty quick and doesnt smudge and gives a vibrant red/cherry pink color! :>

Why I dont like??
Hmm after a few sips of water.. its gone! Easily fades! 

The mini tint I bought is only $1 or P46.50 on ebay Philippines I love how handy this is. It's worth trying! If you're looking for liptints that easily dries once applied, vibrant color, cute and acceptable taste then you might want to try this one. I have tried other liptints but I stayed on this one. This is already my 3rd Tony tint purchase. 

★★★★☆ (4/5 stars)

♥LIOELE CARRY ME MASCARA REVIEW~~♥

I am not a fan of putting mascara on my eyelashes. I find it very inconvenient and I wasn't used to it. But since for once in a while, we need to flaunt and bat our eyelashes! 

When I first tried, LIOELE CARRY ME MASCARA, I feel in love with it instantly! I mean seriously, it is so handy! This compact mascara is lightweight and don't clump my lashes. 




I have super thin lashes (just like most asians do) and this mascara is perfect for me so far. Each lash is perfectly covered. One coat is enough for me, but when you want more volume then apply 2nd or 3rd coat. I dont know how much this really cost but I got mine for only Php 96.00 or $2.5 on ebay! Really affordable and worth the try. 


PROS:

- super handy
- lightweight
- wont clump lashes/ super fine covering
- easy to remove! 

CONS:

- not enough volume! (dont expect exaggerated lashes)
- the content is small--for everyday use, the tube wont last long

★★★★★(5/5)

I think there is a perfect mascara out there rather than this but in my case, I'm already happy with this product. So far, this is the best mascara I ever purchased!! :)

TATHION 307 REVIEW!*UPDATED!!*

I am going to share my Tathion 307 experience! (*UPDATED* 1st update written below!)

First and fore most, I am very eager to achieve a white, clear and beautiful skin. And since my work includes going out to the field doing community service, my skin becomes darker. I've read lots of reviews about Japanese Glutathiones like PH338 and Tathion 307. Since I'm a cheap stake, I was able to purchase 60 tablets (as a start) for only P1,000!! And a 90 tablets Tathion usually sell around 2,000-2,300 pesos online. Anyway, I'm on my 4th day of taking these pills.

To start of: 
- I have a light brown complexion
- I am mostly exposed to the sun
- I'm taking no other supplements except ATC Grape Seed Oil
- I use Kojie San (Kojic Acid) soap

Recommended Dose of Tathion 307:
Take 1 tablet (with 1 tablet of Vitamin C) 30 minutes before or after meals 3 x a day for 3 months and reduce to 2 tablets a day for the next month and Once a day until you achieve your desired color.

My dosage:
I take 1 tablet 3 x a day together with Vitamin C. (Generic brand) and 1 capsule of Grape seed oil once a day.





My verdict:
In 4 days of taking these pills:
- i noticed a glow on my skin. When we had an occasion, I noticed that I was glowing on most pictures but I cant really say that the pills are taking effect because no one noticed and no one told me I was glowing and etc.
- upon taking these pills, I experienced heartburn whenever I take it with small amount of water. So I'm taking the pills with lots of water.
- The moment I started taking my first tathion pill, my appetite boom! I really love to eat but I know how to control-since I'm so weight conscious! They say that Tathion will cause weight gain and I think this is because you will have a healthy appetite when taking this however if you have a fast metabolism, there wont be any problem.
- Vitamin C cause acidity like Ascorbic Acid, I recommend replace it with Sodium Ascorbate. But I used Ascorbic Acid (Generic Brand) since I had a boxes of them.
- I take it along with Grape Seed Oil capsule once a day. :)

What to expect:
- In 3 months--i hope my skin will really whiten!

I will update next month on any changes of my skin and everything :)

AS promised, I am going to update any changes that happen to my over all health upon taking these pills. After my first purchase, I immediately ordered another 1 month supply of Tathion 307 pills.

How was my skin/complexion after a month?
~~ I couldn't really say it whiten my skin because for me, my skintone looks the same. However I got compliments that I look brighter..I guess the pills are taking effect. Even I could say that I look brighter or lighter but I'm not yet convinced that after a month I got a whiter skin.

How was my health?
~~ In a month, I didnt experience any illness like FLU, colds or fever even if I'm prone to it. Not even a single cough or runny nose. I dont know what's going on inside of my system, for now, my health seems fine.

Did I gain weight?
~~ I gained almost 2kls! Because my appetite increased. I was only 43kls but lately i weigh like 44-45kls. But as long as I will weigh as 45kls in the next succeeding weeks I will definitely continue taking these. Im weight conscious!kekeke``

What does it taste like?
~~ It taste sweet just like candy! and easy to swallow.. :>

Did I experienced any adverse effects?
~~ I noticed that when I took Tathion 307 pill and Vit.C tablet altogether I get heartburn same with chest pain for a couple of minutes. I was scared if this the effect of the Tathion. Then I decided to try taking Tathion first then after a few minutes I follow Vit.C tablet then there was no sign of heart burn. Then I conclude that my Vit.C tablet is too acidic. I must switch to a Non-acidic brand.
~~ I had a better sleep. I usually sleep late but lately I sleep early and my sleep were really deep!

Will I still continue taking these pills after a month from now?
~~MAYBE> not so sure. I had a colloid cyst on my thyroid area. I'm not so sure if these pills are safe for me. Cause if they are not, I will definitely stop. But in what I've read online these is safe with thyroid problems. But still I will not sacrifice my health and wellness just for having fairer skin ;)

**sometimes I take the pills 2x a day only

NEXT UPDATE: a month from now~~

Hi everyone!! its UPDATE time~~

Okay, to start of-- i wasnt able to take my tathion pills religiously. Which means I take 1-2 tablets only and often times 3tablets a day due to my busy work and forgetfulness. Anyways.. here's a follow-up on my latest update.

Does my skintone improves?
~~NO. Same as it was before. But--there is this glow everytime I'm expose to the bright light. I noticed I look radiant in daytime or with lighting effects but still I couldnt say I got whiter skin!

MY overall health?
~~So far.. good. Nothing I can complain about.

Weight Issues?
~~Before I started taking tathion Im only 42kls but now--in a few months time, I'm 45KLS!

My Verdict?
~~ Tathion gives you the brightest glow! I just need to be diligent and religious in taking these pills. And yes, I know I need to take more tathion to achieve the skintone I want.

newest update!! -- i stop taking these pills! i gained a few pounds.. everyone is telling me i gained weight!!! i have no other culprit but the tathion pills. i dont want extra pounds. :>

UPDATE 2013 January 15:

Happy New Year everyone! I'm done with Tathion as of now.. I must say, my complexion stayed the same. I didnt get darker even if I stop taking the pills and also even with my constant sun exposure. I'm planning to buy Mosbeau Placenta White and hoping to get better results! :) If you want updates please let me know ;>

Mizon Collagen Essence BB Cream 45ml SPF32 PA++ REVIEW!

The moment I discovered and tried BB cream or Blemish Balm Cream-- It had been a staple food on my face since then! But we all know that there are sooooo many BB creams to choose from! I have tried a lot of brands like missha, skin79, skinfood, maybeline, Lioele, the mini skin, Dr.Jart and lately MIZON.

I do not have a clear skin-- it has post pimple scars, and with impurities that's why I need a good coverage that's also healthy on skin. Since I used BB creams, my skin was improving compared before yet still not that clear.

Anyway, I'm using 

Mizon Collagen Essence BB Cream 45ml SPF32 PA++

for about a month now. I bought it online in ebay for only Php 261.00 ($6.3) along Mizon Snail Cream. 









MIZON
Collagen Essence BB Cream
45ml

SPF32 PA++
Whitening & Wrinkle Care

Multi function BB Cream containing Rich Collagen Essence for Silky Coverage

Certified for wrinkle care, whitening and UV protection by KFDA
Collagen extract 50% contained
BB Cream containing a rich collagen essence for Anti-wrinkle and whitening effects. Provides silky Base coverage that blends with natural skin tones while providing protection from the sun



The good thing about this BB cream is that it has a high SPF of 32! Not only whitening but promises wrinkle care. It has collagen extract to provide a youthful glow..

What I like:
- it doesnt give me breakouts!
- very affordable and the pump is easy to use for a clean and hassle-free application
- fragrance-free
- no parabens (based on the ingredients list)

What I don't like:
- hard to blend on face, it takes a couple of seconds to totally cover the whole face!
sometimes i mix it with some cream for a smooth application.
- i started to get oily after 3-4 hours!
- it wont last that long..

★★★☆☆ (3/5 stars)

This bb cream offer a medium coverage. Good enough for my money. I dont mind using this again, but definitely will try other product. I think this is a good bb to those who don't have oily skin. *after applying, my face is too white but after a couple of minutes it will eventually match with my skin tone. I think this is a good bb cream. But silkiness and whatsoever is never really that prominent but atleast I dont get breakouts and it's a good buy!

Will I repurchase? MAYBE.

Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream Multi Function Formula Review

Hello everyone!

It's been a month already since I'm using this product so I think it's about time to share my insights and reviews about this snail cream ♥




  • Function & Features

  • 5. Tight Texture Increases Absorption : Filtered snail slime’s own texture contained in eye cream. You can spread gently on skin and feel moisturized for longer. It helps to increase absorption not to leave sticky feeling.
  • Capacity : 45 ml


I purchased this product online in ebay for only Php 266.00 ($7) along with 

Mizon Collagen Essence BB Cream. I heard lots of rave reviews about snail creams and its ability to make skin healthy and rejuvenate. Koreans are known not only for their clear complexion but as well as their hundreds of beauty products. So many brands to choose from but I chose the cheapest yet from a well-of brand. Since we all want to look beautiful, we try almost anything even the slimiest! 



PRO:
it comes in clear gel like cream that has no odor and absorbs real fast on skin
it doesnt irritate and doesnt give me breakouts
doesnt feel slimy at all

CONS:
I dont know if this is effective cause I didnt notice any magnificent results yet no changes on my skin.
It's still the same, even the acne scars are still there. My dark circles are still visible and skin suppleness was never noted.

For me, I didn't see any visible results but I think since using this, I never get breakouts. And it feels like I'm just moisturizing my skin. That's all. I'm just consuming the product and eventually will purchase another brand of snail cream. :)


☆☆☆ (2/5 stars)

Will i repurchase? NO. But it's a good try. Now I know that this product was never really effective, atleast for me.
