REVIEW: Vaseline Instant White Lotion

Hello dears, I am back with another review. 

It is summer and many people go to different beaches. Since most Asian skin (Kayumanggi) like Filipinos are very prone in skin discoloration caused by the sun, skin lightening lotion become suddenly in again.

So here is my review about one of the most known lotion in the Philippines, Vaseline Instant White lotion:

According to Vaseline’s Facebook page, the lotion SRP is Php110.00 for 100mL, Php190.00 for 200mL, and Php299.00 for 350mL. 

Product Claims:

Vaseline Instant Fair Lotion makes your skin fairer and even-toned in 3 ways. First, the microreflectors make your skin appear fairer and even-toned instantly. Then, the Vitamin B3 whitens your skin from within, and with regular use, gives you visible results in 2 weeks. Your skin stays fair as the product has triple sunscreens that protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Vasline Instant Fair gives you both an instant and long-term whitening effect. 

My Experience:

I got mine at Php110.00 for 100mL (around $2.5)

what do you think? Is it effective?

Strong points:

* it is NOT sticky at all even though the weather is really really hot

*It has triple sunscreen, which is perfect for summer

*affordable

Weak points:

* The advertisement of "instantly 4x fairer" is too exaggerated. It don't see much any whitening effect on my skin. As you can see in the picture above ( if you noticed) in a way my skin looks lighter but not definitely fairer. 

*Does not visibly whitens in two weeks of regular use. Maybe, it would be effective if use for more than two months but definitely not in two weeks.

Will I purchase it? 

Not really. i'm still looking for a lotion who does what it says. It is kinda annoying to see false advertisement around the market. It makes me don't trust advertisement anymore. 

REVIEW: Calmoseptine ointment

Hello beautiful readers, how's your long week-end vacation? Don't forget the things you have learned during the Holy week. ;) Anyway, here is a short review for Calmoseptine ointment. Have you heard this before? me? definitely no. You can't also search for other reviews regarding this product.

 Calmoseptine ointment is a multi-purpose moisture barrier ointment which protect soothes and helps promote healing of skin irritation from:

*urine
*diarrhea
*perspiration
*wound or fistula drainage
*impetigo
*incontinence
*diaper/allergic rashes
*minor burn
*cuts
*scrapes
*chafing
*chapping
*itching
*hemorrhoids
*Fungal infection
*eczema
*prickly heat
*Acne

Price is around Php 30/sachet (around $.80)

My mother primarily bought this because she had experienced itching due to allergy rashes.

 Unfortunately I got big pimples on my forehead.  And I really want it to disappear right away! (who wants pimples anyway? none right!) Then, I saw Calmoseptine ointment in our medicine kit and I immediately ask my mother if it is safe to use. She told me that the pharmacist from Mercury drugs advised it to her.

My Experience:

And since it is a multi-purpose cream I decided to try it.

 I used it once a day, preferably at night although, it is stated to use it 2-4 times daily. 

I wonder how fast will it remove pimples if I use it 4 times a day :P

Strong Points

* as you can see in the photo above, you can hardly notice

 any pimple marks which is a plus +++ point for me.

* it is affordable, since a small pea size goes a long way.

*it is accessible because it is available to one of the most trusted 

drugstore in the Philippines

*it does not contain paraben

Weak point

* I hate the smell. It smells like paste. 

But for the sake of having clear skin. It is definitely bearable.

*I prefer if it in a sachet WITH twisted cap so 

that it won't be messy and easy to carry anyway.

Do I recommend it?

Yes. definitely! it is a must try product.

 Ask first the pharmacist before buying it may 

be helpful for few pimples but not for severe acne.

Thanks for reading dear! :)

The Importance of Christ Death

Luke 23:44-46 (NIV) It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, v.45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. v.46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last.

INTRODUCTION:
Many things in this world offer us a lot of options. Let me give you an example from the conversation of the father and the son.
Dad: Anak bili mo ko ng soft drink.
Anak: Coke o Pepsi?
Dad: Coke!
Anak: Diet o Regular?
Dad: Regular!
Anak: Bote o in can?
Dad: Bote!
Anak: 8 oz. o Litro?
Dad: Tubig na lang!
Anak: Natural o Mineral?
Dad: Mineral!
Anak: Malamig o Hindi?
Dad: Hampasin kaya kita ng walis?
Anak: Tambo o ting ting?
Dad: Animal ka!
Anak: Baka o Baboy?
Dad: Layas!
Anak: Ngayon o bukas?
Dad: Ngayon na!!!
Anak: Hatid mo ko o Hindi?
Dad: Patayin kaya kita?
Anak: Saksakin o barilin?
Dad: Babarilin!!
Anak: Sa Ulo o Tiyan?
Dad: Pesteeeee!!!!
Anak: Ipis o Daga??
Dad: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

You see… we are facing a lot of options or choices in this world. We need to be very careful in making our choices, because our choices will determine our destiny. When it comes to our salvation we are also facing a lot of choices. You can choose salvation through Christ’s death or salvation through our own works. If we choose salvation through the cross we are assured of our eternal destiny in Heaven. Today, allow me to share more thoughts on the importance of the death of Jesus Christ.

I – CHRIST’S DEATH WAS FORETOLD BY GOD.
A. Isa 53:8 (NASV) By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered, that He was cut off out of the land of the living, For the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due?
B. Dan 9:26 (NASV) Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing…
C. Zech 13:7 (NASV) “Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, And against the man, My Associate," Declares the LORD of hosts. "Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; And I will turn My hand against the little ones.

II – CHRIST’S DEATH WAS APPOINTED BY GOD.
A. Isa 53:6 (NASV) All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.
B. Acts 2:23-24 (NIV) This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.

III – THE IMPORTANCE OF CHRIST’S DEATH.
A. It is the manifestation of God’s love.
Rom 5:8 (NIV) But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Illustration: THE BRIDGE

- Jesus became our substitute.

2 Cor 5:21 (NIV) God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

B. Christ’s death gave us a direct access to God.
Luke 23:45 (NASV) The sun being obscured; and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
The temple had three parts:

1. The courts for all the people.
2. The holy place where only priests can enter.
3. The holy of holies where only the High Priest could enter once a year to atone for the sins of the people.
The holy place and holy of holies were separated or divided by a veil that is 60 ft. high from the ceiling to the floor.
- The rending of the veil signified two things:
a. The middle wall of partition between Jews and Gentiles was broken down. Eph. 2:14-18
b. Now, each believer can have personal access to God. Heb. 9:1-14, 10:19-23

we are separated from God until the veil was torn

Heb 4:16 (NASV) Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.

C. Christ’s death gave us the assurance of our redemption.
The sinner in bondage was bought back by God with a certain price.
1.PEOPLE’s way to be saved: ( does not give any assurance that you will be saved!)
a. Being devoted to religion. Acts 10:1-7
b. Good works. Eph. 2:8-9
c. Doing penitence.

2. FAITH on the death of Christ will give us the assurance of redemption.
1 Peter 1:18-19 (NASV) Knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, v.19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
D. Christ’s death reconciled us to God.
E. Christ’s death paid the ransom for our sin.
F. Christ’s death disarmed Satan and his authorities.
G. Christ’s death gave us the assurance of His promises.

CONCLUSION:
Jesus died for you and me. He died not for His own sin but for our sins. Make your move now by receiving Him as your Lord and Savior. Remember, what He has done on the cross answer all your problem concerning sin.

This is shared by Pastor Frankie Beato of Church of God's Miracle.
Have a meaningful Holy week to us! God bless us all.

Having a hard time to read the bible?

I definitely believe that reading the bible is one of our necessity when it comes to knowing our Lord more. but unfortunately most of us cannot be that faithful in reading his word. Why? here are some reason I found:

1." some words are difficult to understand"
2. "I don't like reading"
3. "I'm having a hard time looking for verses"
4." i'm too busy for that.."
5. "it is the responsibility of our church to teach us that"
6. "I don't own a bible"

Solutions that I suggest:

1." some words are difficult to understand"

-Yes, most of the words written in the bible are difficult to understand but there are things that we can personally do to make it easier for us to understand.

First, choose your bible translation ( Click HERE). If you choose, "King James Version", definitely it will be VERY difficult for you to understand. The word with "thy,thee, words with -th" are not commonly used today. Personally I prefer to use New International Version (NIV) and Good News Translation (GNT).

Second, Pray before reading. We may have different interpretations in reading the bible. Most of the time, our interpretations are covered by our emotions or with the things that is currently happening to our lives. Let us seek first God's help so that we can have a better understanding on what is written.

Third, we may ask help from other people who knows better. For example, Church leaders, Life coaches, and even a family members who got a better knowledge than us.

2. "I don't like reading"

- Personally, I don't like reading that much. I prefer to hearing things than reading but there is something that I have realized , reading is much likely "to see is to believe". We can't just say " it is written" if we didn't personally saw that "it is written". Reading is part of our daily routine, when walking the street you read. when buying on the groceries, you read and even when you're watching TV, you read. Can't you just spend a little time to dedicate even 60 seconds of your everyday life reading short verses from the bible? Yes you can. And when you start to dedicate your 60 seconds, trust me it won't be enough. You will crave for more ;) and from that, you will see that you're starting to like reading.

3. "I'm having a hard time looking for verses"

Me too. Before I was also having a hard time to know which books are from old or new testament. But don't worry my friend, I have found the solution. ^_^

Here are  some tips to easily find the verses you want to read. This songs personally help to look for different verses faster and easier!

OLD TESTAMENT

NEW TESTAMENT:

Try to add this to your playlists and DEFINITELY you will be able to memorize the 66 Books of the Bible in no time :)

4." i'm too busy for that.."

Remember the 60 seconds? just try. You won't lose anything for 60 seconds. Actually, you will gain a lot and you will be able to build a greater relationship with God. We all have 24 hours a day and it depends on us how we will use it. USE IT WISELY.

5. "it is the responsibility of our church to teach us that"

Yes it is, it is like school. The Church leaders teaches us everything but it is our responsibility to learn. Just like in the classroom, we listen to our teachers and the teacher tries their best to teach us everything BUT ONE HOUR of teaching is not enough. We have to do our part and study on our own. One of our pastor said " If only salvation can be inherited, then it is okay to always JUST listen but the truth is, it is NOT and CANNOT be inherited unless you build your own relationship with God and accept Jesus as your savior".

6. "I don't own a bible and i don't have money to buy one"

If you own a smartphones and computers. You can use it to download a bible. I recommend Glo Bible. It is free and you don't need wifi connection to open it after you download it. However, you can use its maximum potential if you have internet connection because it offers bible maps for you better understanding on what is written. And if you do not have a smart phone or computer or tablets, some churches distributes free bibles for everyone. And if you still cannot  find a Bible. I'm willing to make it as a giveaway prize. Just comment below if you want me to host a Bible giveaway (however giveaway will only be available in the Philippines. I don't have much money today to do it a worldwide. I'm still a student ^.^)

If LAZINESS attacks you AGAIN, Just remember this:

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. (Joshua 1:8 NIV)


Let us be all PROSPEROUS and SUCCESSFUL. In Jesus name!

REVIEW:Genuine 24K Gold Facial Mask

                                                                                                  

Gold is known to be one of the softest metals, which is readily absorbed by the skin. Throughout history, gold has been recognized for its luxurious and beautifying properties. It has also been known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Historians say Cleopatra maintained her youth and beauty by wearing a mask of pure gold to bed every night.

Product claims:

Vivid Essentials,  recreate the gold mask of Cleopatra for today’s woman. Their 24K Gold Facial will lift and firm the skin by reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles and lightening and brightening the skin.

Benefits of 24K GOLD FACIAL MASK

• Accelerates Cell Renewal

• Slows collagen depletion

• Assists lymphatic drainage

• Improves blood circulation

• Reduces the appearance of age spots

• Decreases inflammation

• Enhances elasticity

Throughout the history, gold has been recognized for its luxurious and beautifying properties. In ancient Rome, gold salves were used for the treatment of a variety of skin problems. In ancient Chinese medicine gold was a key to youth. 

Within the deep cellular levels, gold is well reputed for restoring the lost elasticity properties of the tissues. Gold slows down collagen depletion and the breakdown of elastin to prevent sagging skin. It stimulates cellular growth of the basal layer to regenerate healthy, firm skin cells and provide a tightening effect.

That way the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is diminished with each treatment.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Rinse face w/ cold water

2. Pour 1 pack of the mask in a bowl

3. Add about 100 ml of cold water

4. Mix immediately until even

5. Apply immediately on face

6. Leave for 30 minutes

7. Rinse off with cold water

Review: Etude House OMG! Trouble Break Mist

Acne is one of the most painful thing to have in a teenage life or even older. Usually, acne can be found on faces and there were vast products to choose from. But what if  acne is found at your back? it is now called back-acne also known as bacne is an acne which is caused by overactive sebaceous glands on the back part of the body and sometimes can also be seen in chest and arms.

Unfortunately, I suffered to this kind of acne problem. Though I find a little bit okay because atleast I can be able to keep it a secret by avoiding backless or spaghetti dresses/clothes. At first,since I can hide it, I was not really eager to look for solution to this until my mother's wedding anniversary came and  I am force to wear spaghetti dress and my boyfriend noticed it. And that was the start when I try to search different methods to remove and prevent this bacne. (here)

And until I found EH OMG! Trouble Break Mist

Price: Php 578/ 140 ml

My experience

Strong points:

*it has 360 degree pump spray that it can

 be used upside down

*can be easily absorbed by the skin

*not sticky

*prevents pimples/acne from coming back

*the scent of the product disappear easily

 so it is not a big deal for those people are 

sensitive with fragrance

*easy to use

weak points:

*doesn't remove pimple/acne marks

*when it is about 1/4 empty the pump 

can be a little hard to use

will i purchase it again? definitely. but  I'm still looking for something that removes acne marks permanently at the same time that prevents acne from coming back.

NOTE: this product may be effective to me but I don't assure you that we can have the same result because have different body types and hormones. But this is worth to try. :)
