Katialis: Affordable Yet Effective Pimple Treatment

by 6:47 PM
So I was searching for an effective overnight treatment for acne when I saw that one of my favorite beauty blogs (www.kikaysikat.com) featured this product. Queen Momshie, Kaycee Enerva tried it and it was really effective for her so as always, her write-up convinced me to try it.

Katialis Ointment


Katialis Ointment is used for acne, irritable skin area, ring worm, bacterial infection, parasite infection, inflammatory skin disorder and other conditions.

Ingredients:

* Resorcinol: used for irritable skin area, ring worm, skin infection, viral skin infections and other conditions.
Salicylic Acid: used for calluses and corns, skin diseases, acne, blemishes, skin redness, dandruff and other conditions. 
Sulfur: used for acne, parasite infection, inflammatory skin disorder, and bacterial infection.
* Zinc Oxide: used for eczema, skin irritation, hemorrhoids, minor skin infections, nappy rash, and sunburn.

Where to buy?
Mercury Drugstores nationwide

How much?
P22.00




The packaging is very simple yet very informative because all you need to know about the product is clearly printed on the box. It's so handy that it can fit in your pocket so you can carry this product anywhere. It has no spatula or whatever so you need to use a cotton swab to get the product out hygienically.


My jaw literally dropped when I saw the ingredients. Dude, they are powerful ingredients intended for skin infections and other skin conditions. Now I am not wondering why this product can cure pimple overnight. True enough, the Katialis Ointment cured my active pimples overnight. I would apply the ointment on my pimple before going to bed and I would wake up with a flattened and healed pimple. I am doing this since two weeks ago and I am enjoying it. I just stopped now because I need to try another acne set from Mary Kay Philippines. Watch out for my review soon.

Be careful when using this product, I suggest you just put it exactly on top of affected area because it stings. Also, do a spot test before using the product to see if it suites your skin. Another downside that I noticed is that, it leaves darker pimple spot.


All in all, I recommend using Katialis Ointment for pimple spot treatment. This product works (overnight) and true to its promise. This is an affordable and quick pimple treatment that you can easily buy in the nearest botika in your area.

I made a video explaining how Katialis Ointment healed my pimple. Feel free to watch here:

Aloe Vera Soothing Cleansing Foam by Esfolio PH Review

by 2:52 PM
If you have been following my blog and YouTube channel for quite some time now, you know for sure that I have a very sensitive and not-so-pretty face! Hahaha! Just wanna break the ice! Of course, we are all awesome and beautiful in any way. I am really picky when it comes to facial cleansers because as said, I have a super sensitive skin, one wrong facial wash means acne breakout. That's really sad because as a Beauty and Lifestyle V/Blogger, I cannot erase the fact that I need to try different products so I can tell you what's working and not. Yes, I am your Guinea Pig! :D Today, allow me to share you my unbiased feedback about the:

Aloe Vera Soothing Cleansing Foam by Esfolio Philippines



This product promises to remove sebum and impurities found in the pores while moisturizing the skin with Aloe extract.

How to use?
Apply an adequate amount for foam. Massage thoroughly on the face in  circular motion  before gently removing it with water.

Where to buy?

How much?
P349.95 (150ml)


I only need a pea-sized amount of the product to make a generous amount of lather that I can use for my entire face.



The product is so silky and creamy that is why I am enjoying it every after bath. I also like the fact that it comes in a big squeezable tube in Green color which is my favorite haha. As you can see, the product is almost empty because I have been abusing it for couple of weeks now. With the tone of this blog post, you know for sure that I am loving the product and yes, I love this Aloe Vera Soothing Cleansing Foam from Esfolio especially that it does not contain these 4 harmful ingredients:

* Talc - it clogs pores and make our skin dry.
* Ethanol - also know as alcohol which is flammable.
* Silicone - it causes acne and congestion by trapping debris in our pores.
* Benzhopenone - it causes skin redness or irritation


So yeah, this cleanser it not containing those harmful ingredients which is present in some cleansers nowadays. I love how it makes my skin bright, soft and smooth without drying my face and in fact, it's moisturizing. Yeah, I dropped my jaw because of that. Hey! It's very rare for a cleanser to be moisturizing—most of them gives that tight or stretched feeling on my face.  Also, I noticed that it reduces the redness on my face day by day which makes me happy.



To be honest, I super love this facial wash and I can call it as my Holy Grail cleanser because it reduces that appearance of acne on my face without making it really dry or flaky. I love how gentle it is in removing sebum and whiteheads on my face. To be honest, I cannot say anything negative (which is very rare) on this product because it's simply amazing and affordable. Anyway, let us still do the recap.



What I like:

* Affordable
* Gentle
* No harmful ingredients
* Effective Acne solution
* Moisturizing
* Reduces whiteheads
* Calming
* Brightening effect
* A little goes a long way
* Squeezable container (Hygienic)

What I don't like:
* Not readily available in our local drugstores (available online)


All in all, I highly super duper recommend this Aloe Vera Soothing Cleansing Foam by Esfolio Philippines particularly if you are looking for a cleanser that works on sensitive and acne prone skin. This is the product for you, I am giving you my word guys! You know how honest I am when recommending you some products specially skincare. This is simply amazing!



Disclaimer: The above mentioned views and statements are based on my personal opinion and experience using the product. Please take this review with a grain of salt. Esfolio Philippines sent me the product so I can share you my experience in case it works on me and it did. I am not paid to make this review. Regardless, I only recommend products and services that I personally tried and tested which I know will be good for my readers.

Rainy day? No problem! foodpanda is on its way!

by 2:15 PM
Umbrellas, wet shoes, and traffic; the rainy season has officially arrived. Having that said, normal activities such as eating out, watching movies, or hanging out with your besties become more difficult and staying in gets even more tempting. I am a home person especially during rainy days. I like to chill at home the whole day and eat my favorite foods. The problem with me is I don't know how to cook even as simple as fried egg sounds really complicated to me.

Luckily, we can now do almost everything online, from streaming your favorite movie or TV series, shopping, and even ordering food! This is made possible by the increasing number of mobile applications today offering digital services like foodpanda. foodpanda is an online food delivery platform that enables users to access a variety of restaurants from their mobile phones or desktop computer. With this app, people don’t need to wait in traffic or restaurant queues anymore, their food cravings are always just a few clicks away..



If you are new to foodpanda, allow me to share you a step by step guide on how you can easily order your favorite food. I have been doing this for couple of months now so I can confidently say that it's really convenient and super easy!




1. First thing that you need to do is enter your location or allow foodpanda to locate you. You can also send food to your friend or family member by simply entering their current location. foodpanda will smartly give you the list of nearby (within 3 kilometer radius) restaurants to ensure the quality and freshness of the foods to be delivered.





2. Now is the time to choose the restaurant that you want. In this section, you'll also see how fast they can deliver your food, the usual ETA is 60 minutes but based on my experience, it was always less than an hour!





3. Of course, you have to check the menu and select the foods that you want to order. In this section, you will also see the minimum order required and the delivery fee.

4. Now it's about time to add the food of your choice to your basket. This section displays the details of the food as well as the price. After reviewing it, just click the green button (Add to basket).



5. The next step is reviewing all your orders and make sure everything is in your basket. Once everything is good, just hit Proceed to Checkout.



6. You are almost there! Enter the complete address where you want your food delivered.




7. Of course, we have to pay for the food so choose the payment method the restaurant is offering. I usually go with Cash On Delivery if it's available.



8. All done! Just review your order and hit the Place Order button!


After doing those very simple steps, all you have to do is sit back, chill and wait for your order from foodpanda to arrive.



Thanks to foodpanda! I can now spend my rest day at home eating my favorite food without dealing all the noise and hassle of the outside world. That's the real staycation for me. :)

Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000 Review

by 8:35 PM
The moment you have been waiting for! Here's my review about the Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000. This glutathione is really affordable compared to its competitors and it's even cheaper than the famous Ishigaki Amino Classic White. Is this product worth your money? I tried it for a month and here are my thoughts about it.

What?

Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000


Relumins Advance Nutrition is proud to present a new oral glutathione formula, Gluta-1000. Packed with 1000mg of Reduced L-Glutathione, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Rosehips, this capsule gives a sustained increase in serum glutathione to provide a wide range of health benefits. Raising serum glutathione is the ultimate measure of a glutathione supplement's efficacy because it represents system-wide glutathione levels.



Ingredients:

  • L-Glutathione Reduced 675mg
  • Alpha Lipoic Acid 200mg
  • Rose Hips 125mg

Where to buy?

How much?

P990.00 (60 capsules) WOW!


Like the other Relumins products, this Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000 comes in their signature bottle that looks really nice for me. It has that sulfuric or rotten egg smell which is a sign of an authentic glutathione. The capsule itself is not pristine white though, it has a yellowish or greenish color because it's a vegetarian capsule. Meaning, these capsules contain no preservatives, gelatin, wheat, gluten, animal by-products or starch, and they are made from pure cellulose of either pine or poplar. I also like the fact that all of the information that I want to know is printed on the bottle.

By the way, the Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000 does not have vitamin c in it so I am taking this Relumins Advance Nutrition Vitamin C Complex. It's a non acidic vitamin c with Rose Hips and Bioflavonoids. I was taking the glutathione two times a day thirty minutes after my breakfast with vitamin c and 30 minutes after dinner without vitamin c. I took this product for thirty days straight and I thought I won't notice any difference because my skin is obviously fair already because of the glutathione that I took prior this Relumins thing but I was wrong! My skin turned out more glowing and whiter than before. Some of my viewers on YouTube noticed it as well:


I am really happy with the result and I can definitely tell that the Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000 is a steal! You guys should try this product because it's really amazing! As I have said, I wasn't expecting drastic change on my skin but this product still delivered astonishing result. Oh my gee! I need to get tan a little bit for me to review more glutathione and yeah, that's the life of a guinea pig haha!

What I like:
  • Affordable
  • Effective
  • Vegetarian Capsules
  • Trusted brand
  • Detailed packaging
  • Packaging
  • No bad side effects

What I don't like:
  • It doesn't have vitamin c
  • Not readily available in the supermarkets or drugstores
  • Smells sour (rotten egg with vinegar)
This is the vitamin c I'm using.
All in all, I highly recommend taking the Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000. This one is for the books! It is super affordable and effective. This is the glutathione if you are looking for a whitening pills without breaking your pocket.

Snow Skincare Whitening Products Review

by 2:32 PM
Aside from Korean skincare which is very popular nowadays specially now that Korean dramas are being watched in every Filipinos' smartphone, laptop, and television haha! Thailand skincare is also in the spotlight since early 2011. I was honestly skeptical to try any Thailand made skincare products because I have a sensitive skin and I am really not familiar with their formulations, ingredients and basically skincare. I read a lot of reviews and positive feedback online and I also did a little bit of research and so I was convinced to try the:

What?
Snow Skincare Whitening Products


Owned by Beauty Booster Co., SNOW Skin Care emerged from an elite group with extensive experience in skincare, health, and beauty products.

Where to buy?

How much?
P3,350.00 (SET)




P1,100.00 Snow DD Cream is an ultra light Perfect Foundation + Sunscreen with SPF 50 PA++




This DD cream is perfect if you are looking for a makeup, moisturizer and sunscreen in one. I like how it was able to even out my skin with a little bit of coverage. Yes, it has a very light coverage so that might hinder you from buying this product if you are a full coverage girl/boy. The good thing about this product is it feels very light on skin, I feel like my skin is still breathing after putting on one generous layer. It has a semi matte finish which is perfect for oily skin. I also like its cute packaging with a pump for a more hygienic product dispensing.



P898.00 Snow Aura White Facial Cleanser is a daily cleanser innovation with a perfect combination of the most efficient extracts, old Bird's Nest, Gold Kiwi fruit and Pure Gold Powder.




To be honest with you, I am not really a fan of this cleanser. I mean it's a nice mild cleanser that works like your favorite gentle cleansers like Cetaphil and Physiogel but there's soemething in this product that I really cannot tell what! Hahaha honestly, I feel like it's not cleansing my face enough and I hate that feeling. Though, my skin feels really soft after using this product, it's not really my cup of tea. Anyway, I appreciate its generous packaging with a pump.



P1,500.00 Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask is a combination of advanced whitening technology, Hento White and Liposome encap nano vitamins A, C, and E.




This is the most popular product from the Snow Skincare line. A lot of Filipino Beauty Bloggers are raving about it and true enough, this product is gold! Literally, it dispenses gold pigments once applied on your skin. I like its smell and consistency, it feels really light on skin and didn't cause me acne breakout. In fact, it was able to calm down my existing acne and made my face lighter and fresher looking. I would use this product two times a week before going to bed and I would wake up with a more blooming or glowing face. I just don't like it's packaging because it doesn't have a pump, thanks to the spatula provided in the box I can get the product out without touching the entire thing.



I highly recommend trying Snow Skincare Products of Thailand. For the cleanser, I am just really not a fan of it but all in all, they are super nice and effective as they worked well on my acne prone skin. Another thing to consider when buying these products are the prices. If money doesn't matter for you, give it a go dude! :)
