Yesterday the rain won't stop all day and all night.  And I just find it comforting to just lounge around our home and I am too lazy to go to the groceries because of the heavy downpour.  I just hate the mud and  getting soak in the rain.  It's your ticket to sickness.  Then I checked my e-mail and guess what??  I have a Php500.00 voucher that I can use for my groceries or purchases using Honestbee.  It's so sweet of them and they know that I have to go to the groceries but I just can't personally go.  I immediately open my browser and logged in to begin online shopping at Honestbee website.  Sweet, eh? 

I was so happy because I am on a tight budget and that amount is fantastic plus I don't have to go to the groceries and get soak in the rain.  It has a delivery service that is ABSOLUTELY FREE.  yes you are not  being kid at.  It's totally free once you reach their minimum amount which is Php2500.00 on all your purchases.  You are only being charge for the concierge fee which is only Ph99.00  Not bad, because all you have to do is order via the app or on your web browser and they will do the shopping for you.  Then the concierge will update you if your ordered items are available or not and they will offer you an alternative.  You can also request to change an items.  For example the shampoo brand that you often use is not available you can ask them to replace it with another items let's say corned beef.  Oh di ba? bongga.. They will put it all in the receipt so do not worry about the price difference. Plus, the other good part is some items are discounted and they will indicate it in the transaction as well.  More savings = more happiness  👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻  And aside from that you can choose the delivery time.  Talk about convenience. 

By the way they are also affiliated by shopback so its double whammy.  For those who doesn't know about shopback you may read here. 

Ok guys.  I chose Robinson's Supermarket in case you want to know.  I just purchase some groceries because that is basically I need.  But there are a lot of shops to choose from.  There is even a fresh seafood market, drugstore, pet store and even restaurants that you can choose.

Alright, I checked on Sampleroomph again and luckily I've got enough points to sample some other items that are new and I was so happy that there are quite a wide array of products that I can have, given that I only got a few points left.  Sampleroomph is based on the points and not the price of the items.  They will give you an initial point that can be used in exchange of a products that you want to sample and after a couple of days of using it each consumer is entitled to write an honest review about their experience about the products or items that they sampled.

Here are the items that I checked out.

Seoul Korea whitening cream in sachet - Php 13.00 each; Seoul White Korea Whitening Soap - Php45.00

 

As you all know, I purchased this Seoul Korea product out of curiosity and based on the raves and reviews that I've read and see on some beauty blogger.

It's been Day 5 since I used this product.  I've been using the Seoul white Korea Double White whitening soap not just in my face but also my body. And I've been using the Seoul White Korea Instant White face cream alone and not using either BB Creams or Foundation per se.
 
Here are some of my observation about their product.  

 Seoul White Korea Double White whitening soap - It has a very refreshing strawberry scent not too strong and not too overpowering.  I really feel fresh and basically it has some sort of tightening effect on my face.  My face became radiant and it felt smooth too.  Due to its whitening claim I tried using it on my body because I somehow want to have a white skin ( not a strong desire though)  It doesn't melt easily buy I suggest you keep it in a place where the water hardly reach the soap dish.  My conclusion on the whitening effect: I think its too early to say since I have just been using it for 5 days but I can't see any significant effect on my skin.  It's just the same shade as before. LOL. 😸 

Seoul White Korea Instant White Face Cream -  In order for me to really see the effects of certain products that I am using I opt to use only 1 product at a time so if there will be any reactions or sensitivity it will be easy to point out which is which.  So what I did was stopped using all the BB creams, face creams, moisturizer and even foundation.  Of course I started my daily routine with a clean face before applying Seoul White Korea Instant Whitening Face Cream.  I only used a pea size, a little goes a long way.  Well, the good part was it has a mattifying effect.  It's not oily at all.  Even though it is color white it is easy to blend on your skin. You just need to dust off a little powder and you're all set to go. But the sad part is it is not long wearing.  And obviously it didn't make my face white at all. 🤕 

Where to buy: I got mine at Watsons

Recommendation:⭐⭐⭐

Will I buy again?: Preferrably

***Disclaimer: This is not a paid post.  Some products maybe good for you but not for me.  Everybody has a very different skin type.

Let's admit it, almost 90% Filipinos want to have white skin.  There is nothing wrong with that.  But we have these notion that  having white/fair skin will help us make look beautiful.  Maybe, we just want to be in, or boost our self esteem to save ourselves from bullying or prying eyes that our skin color is ugly. 

Whitening products especially on cosmetics are among the highest trend world wide.  That is why a lot of companies are taking advantage of the situation because of this multi billion empire that some but not all claims to be effective but some are just for a show and for commercial purposes.  I am thinking that some bloggers are not just compensated to review their products but to promote it as well to gain boosts in sale.

So let me tell you,  I was appalled when I watched Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho earlier today.  It was about a certain whitening products that causes major allergic reactions to its users.  It was really scary and disturbing especially if it involves allergic reactions or anaphylactic shock.  And if not treated immediately this fan be fatal.  Some even got hospitalized and was unfortunately confined in ICU because of the severe effects of these products.

The show tackled about these Goree Whitening product that can be easily purchased online and to other beauty counters world wide.  These products are claimed counterfeit and fake according to the original manufacturer that is based in Pakistan.  Nevertheless the test of the certain products appears to be a high in mercury contents.  As we all know mercury is a highly toxic chemical that not poison us but I think it causes cancer as well.  A high amount of these product will cause fatality to its users.  The wish to have flawless skin and beautiful face will lead to your deathbed.  

These are the pictures that I've got online:  

Thankfully some of the major site here in the Philippines removed the said product for public safety.  To each and everyone of us let us be cautious about the products that we are going to use because some products can ruin our skin and the worst our face.  And sometimes it is hard to bring it back.

Are you one of their victims too? I hope there will be help line aside from the FDA to help these poor consumers. 

Keep safe..

Last weekend during my day off I decided to window shop at SM Hypermart near Tiendisitas when I saw Watson's and decided to check what's new. I was hoping that there will be a sale r maybe I can find a good buy.   So I scanned their aisle and just look for something.  Not really thinking of buying anything. Because it's not yet payday and I am on a budget.  Then I remember the face cream that one beauty v logger is bragging about so I decided to buy it.  And try it for myself.  First of all, I put the seoul white korea face cream in my hand to see how does it suits my skin.  And I want to see its consistency.  Luckily, it was a matte finish and its not cakey even if it is in color white.  It glides easily.  That's why I bought it.  And the product is really affordable and promising.  I bought the ones in sachets. I will update soon and write review about my experience.  If truly they will give me instant whitening effect.

By the way here are my hauls and its prices.

1. Seoul White Korea face cream in sachet -Php13.00 each
2. Seoul Korea Double white whitening soap 45g -Php45.00
3. Belfour Tomato whitening & Anti-aging soap ( Buy 1 take 1 deal) -Php125.00
4.Watson's dental floss -php50.00 
5. Purederm Peel off mask - Php99.00
6. Kojie-san Deo Spray - Php130.00

Before the 2018 school year begin, I decided to check out what Divimart Pasig has to offer.  I am planning to haul for  my daughters school needs.  I think I am eyeing on Divimart Pasig because its cheaper and near our place than going to the malls where the price are so steep.  So one lazy afternoon on my day off we decided to check out the place.  It is my 2nd time there and I am just in awe of their merchandise.  There are a wide array to choose from and it is air conditioned so there is no trouble walking or just checking because you will not swear, the place is also big the 1st floor is the groceries and the 2nd floor is all about general merchandise.

Truly Divimart Pasig did not disappoint me at all. There are a lot of school supplies and so much more in a very reasonable price.  There is also a membership card that you can avail for free which will let you earn points as you shop.

school needs.

hair clips and head bands, crayons and water colors
