    Last August 23, 2018, I've been surprised to receive a package, this is the Skinwerx essentials by BBCP skin care products. I can't contain my thrill and excitement to test out the new products, it was exactly at the right time because on these weeks, I'm having hormonal breakouts. I would usually go to a certain skincare hub to solve these issues, but since I was sent the gift package to try out, I decided to give it a solo shot in my face and see if it does wonders. These are FDA approved and was also tested by others as well, these products are homemade and organic, a perfect chance for you, dear girls and guys to see if these products are effective, and why did I say so? because I've never tried homemade products before and this is my first time to do so, I've always been pampered in the clinics but I would be here to test this out and see if the products do work. I see my skin as dry type, has certain conditions of sensitivity, there are products that don't work on my face and some do. We'll see if this does.

    I haven't used any other products than my usual soaps for the past 2 months. Yes, you might be wondering why. It's because when I tend to get indulged with what I'm doing most self-care are sacrificed. I'm also human and a dreamer, who tends to neglect on herself when engrossed, that's why when it comes down to the point that my face has suffered from my neglect, yeah I definitely need an expert and these are God sent on time! I hope~cross fingers. Ok, so moving on let's get to testing!


    The products I was sent are:

    Skinwerx essentials Tomatox Foaming Cleanser,
    Glutamansi Baking Soda Soap with Shea Butter and Tea Tree Oil
    Bentonite clay mask
    Tomatox AHA Serum
    Vegan Blush Balm in Summer


    I've started using on August 27, 2018. I  started with the Glutamansi Baking Soda Soap with Shea Butter and Tea Tree Oil to cleanse my face, then applied the Skinwerx essentials Tomatox Foaming Cleanser. At this Point though I stopped because I accidentally placed the cleanser on my eyes, it reddened, so I lastly only applied the Vegan blush balm on my lips. Gladly, after a few minutes, the redness subsided and no more pain felt in the eyes.

    Love Month is coming!

     A month of preparation before the big event is crucial to creating the natural flawless beauty that we always dreamed of!


    Even though the Holiday season gives us this feeling of joy, it is inevitable that we experience stress and muscle pain from the busy months, our diet intake greatly affects our skin conditions, it is the time for repair and rejuvination!

    I share this experience that to all for a brief overview of my life everyday and this Christmas products sent to me that helps me swipe away all tensions even helps with combating emotional stress leaving you relaxed and stress-free.

    If you ever felt each day is a long endless struggle and your muscle aches from physical hardwork. Mighty or not we all felt this feeling.  Each day I get physical work at home taking care of my 6 Dogs, 4 hedgehogs, ponds of fishes and turtles, maintenance is real hardwork and at the end of the day I lay flat on the bed unable to move. Muscle twitches left me with pain and it renders me motionless. Back then I thought of a natural way to relieve the pain to avoid overuse of pain killers. I started with basic Heat application, if I am able to rest for a while, I would submerge myself in a hot bath, relaxing every part of my muscle before I retire for the day. This was very effective, but although I was able to alleviate pain it would be best if I could be able to scrub off accumulated dirt in my skin. Lately, I was able to try A whitening and anti-aging gold bar soap WHITE ALLURE from magic potions with MICRODERMABRASION IN A JAR WITH ARGAN OIL, an exfoliator, skin smoothener without redness and swelling. Magic Potions sent me the package to try out the products so here's a review.


    White allure gold bar soap and microdermabrasion on a jar with argan oil

      purchase here:

    White Allure Gold Bar Soap
    http://www.magic-potions.com/en/skin-whitening-products/white-allure/white-allure-gold-bar-soap-10in1-whitening-and-age-defying-soap-90g#.VngINdxb7N4.google

    White Allure Microdermabrasion :
    http://www.magic-potions.com/en/white-allure-microdermabrasion-in-a-jar-with-argan-oil-50g

    Aroma:

    The first Aroma when I opened the outer packaging I describe as CITRUS smell of sweet papaya, the smell is fragrant throughout the whole packaging gives the feeling of calm to your senses.

    Microdermabrasion smells peachy but its not for consumption   

    Notes on the packaging:

    I am very Thankful for magic potions small note wishing that I would enjoy the project and they're very concern with the health, they sent me a note to check if I'm allergic to the product first. I checked the product by doing the Allergy Patch Test by applying on the upper part of my inner arm ( at the crook of my elbow) then without getting it wet for 24 hours I observed if I'll develop any allergic reaction. Gladly I am not allergic, so I proceeded to use the product.

    Ingredients:

    Some distinct ingredients found in the  WHITE ALLURE GOLD BAR SOAP that is a thumbs up would be:

    carica papaya fruit extract
    Carica Papaya Fruit Extract, this extract contains enzymes papain and chymonpapain, which have exfoliating properties that remove damaged skin.

    Vitis Vinifera Oil or Grape Seed Oil, an oil rich in linoleic acid, absorbed by the skin is an effective skin moisturizer, it's also the best for treatment of acne.

    Collagen and Glutathione as this both ingredients come in par with the rest of the fruity extract, absorption becomes effective which I love about this product.


    As for the
     exfoliator, MICRODERMABRASION IN A JAR WITH ARGAN OIL

    Argania Spinosa or Argan oil in the market, Argan oil in beauty products is a celebrity where most people are crazy about, if you are not acquainted with the product, it has reported in many users of products with this oil of its powerful hydration, moisturization and skin softener. The best solution for the usual exfoliator problems like skin dehydration after exfoliation!


    Appearance:


    The White Allure Gold Bar Soap is shaped oblong, almost opaque orange color with minute glitter- like appearance inside the soap.

    The Microdermabrasion in a Jar with Argan Oil is White with creamy texture.

    Consistency:
     The Microdermabrasion in a Jar with Argan Oil has salt like texture on it, when applied spreads easily to face and the micro-salt like texture gives that nice exfoliating feeling your skin needs.



    It's been a month and I hadn't had a single pimple, my skin looked brighter too, thanks to these I get to selfie with no filters!

    The Art of relaxation by using scents

    Cleansing the body is the initial step but the mind must also be sought of in conjuction with these, and for a relaxing therapy, I would lit up a small candle, a Christmas gift given by our Family Friend Ms. Loida, Thank you!

    Lavender is the best mind soother. Sometimes I don't notice that I could think ideas much faster and better with all these combined and leave the shower more than refreshed and even more like renewed!

    Plus, this will become my initial baseline scent before I put my perfume on and it stays until next day.
