HUMAN NATURE HITS & MISSES | PRODUCT REVIEW

Hello!

There are so many brands out there which load their products with harmful chemicals and ingredients which do not benefit our body. However, at the same time, many brands are on the rise to provide products which contain natural ingredients or ingredients which are less harmful to us. One such brand is Human Nature – a brand from the Philippines which claims to have the most number of US Natural Products Association (NPA)-certified products in the world! I had the chance to try out a couple of their products and am now very excited to share with you what were hits in my books, products which I am generally fine with and products which did not quite make the cut for me.

5 Bite Size Reviews

Hello!

It has been a while, hasn't it? What, half a year? Time passes too quick! Anyhow, sometimes I guess we just want to read reviews, but have them be quick, concise and to the point right? So I'm back this round with five mini reviews on a few products I have used/been using. Hope you enjoy! 

Product Empties #5 - October 2015

Hello dolls!

I haven't done a product empties post in eons so I thought I ought to really start again with this series. There have been many products I have used up since my previous Product Empties post but I have saved a few empties for this post. I love that feeling of satisfaction I get whenever I finish up a product. More reason to buy new products! Anyway, let's jump right into this post =)

Morning Skincare & Beauty Routine

Hi loves!

It's been ages since I've last posted so I thought I'd get back into the blogging mojo with a post about morning and nighttime routines. Every morning we wake up and go through the motions of getting ready for school/work/life. Over time I've developed morning and nighttime beauty and skincare routines that have become engrained in my everyday life. So today, I thought I'd share my morning skincare and beauty routine* with you lovelies! And maybe my nighttime routine in another post. Hee!

Review: REN Skincare Minis

Hey loves!

REN skincare products have been in the market for quite a while and some of their products have been highly praised by many bloggers and Youtubers. REN claims to be 'Clean skincare' which means that it only use 100% plant and mineral derived actives and is free from skin-unfriendly synthetic ingredients such as sulfate detergents, synthetic colours and parabens. 

I have been really wanting to try REN's Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask but have never gotten around to getting it (maybe one day I will!). I do, however, own a few of REN's products in mini sizes, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on them!

Product Empties #4 - Skincare & an Eye Drop (August 2014)

Hello loves!

In Part 1 of my Product Empties #4, I mentioned how I had too many products to write about and so I decided to split the products into two posts! Here's Part 2 of the products I've currently used up! =D

Product Empties #3 - March 2014

Hiya darlings!

Time has passed since my last product empties post and since then, I have managed to use up more products and collect more empty packaging. For some reason, looking at the products I have used up gives me a sense of satisfaction, like "Yeah, I actually got through to the end without changing a product!".  It may sound like an easy feat for some to stick to using the same product; but as a huge beauty lover with an inclination towards constantly buying new products, trying them out and moving on to a new product halfway, finishing a product is a rare achievement.

Lightenex Facial at the HyperPigmentation Clinic!

Hi dears!

My skin is something which I am rather conscious of. I used to suffer from acne when I was in my early teens, and then it died down and I had lovely skin. And although I had acne which left scars, those scars never lasted for long, and faded away quite quickly. Two years ago, I had a very bad acne outbreak out of the blue- I don't know if it was the stress of my final year of my degree, or the fact that I moved to the UK and was not used to the weather, water etc. Sadly, this time my acne left me with scarring- some of which I still have until today.

These acne scars caused darkened marks which stay on my skin for months (and some even years now =S )

The darkening of these marks on the skin are known as hyperpigmentation, and is something which occurs more often in Arabic, Asian or darker skin types. Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of an area of skin caused by the overproduction of melanin or pigment which is caused by things like acne and overexposure to the sun (and UV rays).

Imagine my delight when I was contacted by Pharmaclinix to try out a treatment which could lighten those dark marks!

Beautee Haul: Soap & Glory April 2013

Hello dolls!

 

My post today was initially supposed to be my 'March Favourites 2013' but I just cannot for the life of me locate the picture on my laptop so I decided to do a very quick haul post instead. Posts on my blog will be scarce for a while because I am currently revising for my final year exams which are only two weeks away! Please bear with me- I will continue to post more after my exams are done. I have so many ideas for different types of posts too so stay tuned! =D

 

Anyway, I popped into Boots yesterday and passed by the Soap & Glory stand. Soap & Glory is currently having an offer where you can get a free 'Butter Yourself' body butter if you spend £10 or more on their body products (the offer excludes skincare and cosmetics). I hardly ever purchase Soap & Glory products because I find the price tag slightly hefty for a high street brand, but this offer piqued my interest and I ended up purchasing some goodies. Another Soap & Glory (S&G) offer that is currently going on in Boots is to 'Buy One and Get the 2nd at 1/2 Price' for skincare items, so again, due to my severe lack of self-restraint as of late, I picked up some things.

 

 

 

Product Empties #2 - February 2013

Hello dolls!

Was looking at the empty comtainers I've kept stashed away and decided it's time for another round of 'Product Empties'! Like I mentioned in my first 'Product Empties' post, the month stated in the title is not the month that I finished up all the products mentioned in my post (it would be cool if I could finish products up fast- more reason to try many more!); instead it is the month that I type the post. Most products mentioned in these type of posts are empty product containers which I have kept for a few months for the main purpose of writing these posts. =D So let's jump right in to it!

 

 

Review: Gamila Secret Mini Cleansing Bar in Original

Hi ya darlings!

Today's review comes from a brand that has only just hit Malaysian shores not too long ago and this brand is none other than Gamila Secret. Gamila Secret is an Israeli brand that claims to be made with ingredients that are 100% natural and are handmade with the products containing more than 80% virgin oil (220 pressed Syrian olives).

Review: Mandom Barrier Repair Facial Set

Hey dearies!

So I previously wrote about Mandom's Barrier Repair Facial Set here last month, and I'm surprised that this range of products have not been getting as much hype as the Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid range (you can look at it here) cause I think these products work just as good as that range, and is more affordable too!

Anyway, will give my review on three out of four of these products now! =D

The first product is Barrier Repair's Baby Moist Facial Wash.

Review: Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturising Facial Wash

I don't know why I've been putting off reviewing this but now am finally gonna give my views on this product! =D
