CY GABRIEL SOAP

Here's a throwback review with one of the oldest whitening soap in the market.  

Are you familiar with , C.Y Gabriel. Yeah right the one that was been used by our mother for a long time. I went to a shopping for my vanity stuff, and was surprised to learned that it still available in the market.  

I thought this soap cures pimples or to minimize its recurrence.  Since i am blessed to have a smooth skin, this soap didn't caught my attention. 

But out of curiosity and to think that i do blog things, i grab one to my shopping basket.  

When ive got home, it made me surprise that this soap is for whitening not for blemishes.  

This soap is really cheap, no i should its very cheap. It only cause 19php 

As i was saying , i will make a review in all of the beauty products that is available in the market. From the cheapest to the most expensive one. I'm hoping that my wallet can make it through .. LMFAO   

So this C.Y Gabriel was proudly philippine made. It was been invented since 1961 .  

You can purchase this one in some watson drugstore or mercury drug. 

I Bought 2 box of this soap , the soap also contains instruction paper nside .I made sure that i will see its promising result.So i have to consumed 2 box of it.  

Verdicts:

For me this soap is one of the worst product that i have tried . I'm not really fond of it, As it produce some cystic pimples on my back and on my  chest. it even pop out in my nose, not just one but three of them. I know to my self that having a pimples will be the least thing that will happen on me. as i was gifted with smooth skin.  

i really curse this one. Now i really have to remove those pimple marks on my chest .  

But if you'll take a look in the image, my skin did not get any lighter , the price speaks for the soap   

Pros

-its cheap but will take a long period of time for whitening ( sounds like a cons)

Cons

-will give you some pimples  

Rate:3/10   

MONOMOLA LIP TATTOO

hello chickxers, so heres one of the trending products from korea that raving on ig even on some social pages. 

Its the  Monomola lip tattoo , that will makes u look natural, a makeup with no make-up look (thats a bit confusing)  

Anyways, I bought this one online from a trusted seller its zayonns online shop.I really love how Ms. Joyce Tuazon accomodate me trough out all of my questions.  

they are a legit seller whom i really trust now. they ship your orders after you process the payment . Basically , you'll receive it after 2 days of processing the payment. 

so this lip tattoo is included in my new sets of reviews.  

(swatch)  

Price:

It cost 90php only , very cheap. plus the shipping fee of 50 php. so i suggest to buy 2 or more items , for the shipping fee will be worth it.

Packaging:  

I like how they package their products as the box is covered in color pink. Even though i dont understand what was written on it. since it is in korean letters. the lip tatoo contains 15 g, but when i open it, the container is just half filled. 

Instruction:  

i put the lip tatoo in my lips for about 15 minutes, the color that ive got is in lovely peach but when you put it , it turn into orange not peach.  

It smells like a bit of rubbing alcohol. It also feels like theres an alcohol in your lips. i dont mind if theres some excess of it, if i did not put it perfectly as it will be removed after i peel it off.  

So as you can see on the image my lips tint a little but not as i was expecting. Maybe i have to choose the red one the next time ill purchase. It just looks natural on me.  

It lasted on me until i woke up on the second day.  

Verdicts:  

what i dont like about it, its too light , it doesnt look good on me.

pros:

-its cheap

-doesnt hurt whenever i peel  

cons: 

-its half filled, not just like what is expected

-too light , i suggest to avail the red one

LOLANE ZCOOL INTENSIVE HAIR COLOR

Are you looking for a hair color that doesnt damage your hair that much? We all know that hair color contains ammonia that cause dryness in your hair.  

then dryness makes you not to undergo hair beauty procedures such as rebond, straightening and hair relax.because they contain chemicals which is contraindicated with ammonia. 

Sad to say, i also suffer the same consequences, Whenever i dye my hair. I also took the will not to go to salon for rebond. I wait till my hair roots grow.

Say hello to lolane z-cool a products of thailand. Which i bought in watson drugstore . A DIY hair color  

Price: i bought mine for 238 php. for me its very cheap since it contains all the things you need on dying your hair . 

Content: 

It contains the intensive hair color cream

The 9% cream developer  

The hair treatment

Hair Brush

Plastic Container

Plastic cape

Gloves

So as you can see its a complete set in a box. you dont need to improvise the tools that you need for dying your hair. 

Instruction:

I mixed the cream developer of 9% with its intensive color cream in the container. I put the gloves and the  disposable cape on. i mix it using the brush . The color that i choose is golden blonde.Because It makes me look very chic. I look lively not pale.  

I leave it on my hair for 30 minutes so it will really be in intense blonde. The products suggest to leave it between 10-20 minutes. If your are a first timer or you havent had any colors yet they advised to leave the cream in the roots for 20 minutes and 10 minutes for the end part. And vice versa if you already  dyed your hair before. 10 minutes for the root parts and 20 minutes for the end part.  

the box came with an instruction inside. They print it in the inner side of the box. Wow! i love how they make each thing reusable.  

After that, i washed my hair with its treatment. It smells great which is i can't describe. It really soften my hair. Then i dried my damp hair with a towel.  

Tips: 

I highly suggest not to used shampoo on the first week after you dyed your hair. Use a treatment which is rich in keratin or morrocan extract as it will revitalize hair on its form.  Since you died your hair i mean dye . Beware of the consequence as expect that it will dry your hair. BUt for me Lolane zcool didnt dry my hair that much.  

I love the box and its contain, as it is really convenient for a DIY process.  I highly suggest it for those who wants to dye their hair. Its also available in Golden Blonde , Red whine and Violet blonde.  

Pros:

-Its not itchy in the scalp

-very affordable

-Its easy to use like their description just a piece of cake 

-it didnot dry my hair that much 

-very convenient as it contains all the things you need  

cons:
just beware and take care of the damage part

GLUTA PURE SOAP

 hello chickxers, Ill share with you my review with gluta pure soap by winx white from thailand.  its one of the soap i bought online. To be honest, i don't know if all of the soap i purchase were fake but the tofu soap did effect on me.  you can read my review for tofu soap here http://thechicroom.blogspot.com/2015/03/all-about-soaps.html , maybe because its summer time and im getting expose to sunlight too much that's why i havent notice any changes.


Price:

It cost 70 php plus the
handling fee of 50 php
 its 70mg per box

Ingredients:

Here are the ingredients if you mind

Coconut Oil, Bran Oil, Sunflower Oil, Goats Milk, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Vitamin B3, Fragrance, Glutathione.


Packaging:

It comes in a light blue  color packaging. It also has a sealed which is i dont mind at all what does it means. Its written in thailand alphabets


It also contains spf 50 to protect your skin. it smells like a yogurt and a milk. but i sometimes smells it like a grain that has been left in the sun for long period of time.

(its not me i credit this to the owner)  

Verdicts:

Since i went on a swimming again, im not sure if it was effective or not. But for me its not effective when it comes to whitening. maybe a little, but it really moisturize my skin. that its alright not to put my lotion on.


I think i have to spend another box for me to have a better result.

Pros: Some claims that its effective, and its not too expensive it doesnt dissolve easily it works with my luffa , im not sure if mine were fakes since i haven t heard of fakes yet, as i was saying i went on a swimming during my use of it. I went in the pool at 4pm so i still post my judgement here.

GLUPA SOAP REVIEW

Hi everyone, looking for a whitening soap? say hello to Glupa. A soap that combines, glutathione and papaya 

those were my favorite ingredients in every beauty product. 

actually this would be my third time of using this soap. A friendly blogger intoduce this soap to me. According to her description with the soap its raw materials were made from japan. As i was mentioning in my old post japan has a good quality when it comes to beauty products.  

Since i love outdoor activities such as hiking , swimming blah blah .. that damage my skin. 

It will be a perfect timing to use this soap to proves its effect. I just went on a swimming with my family and another swimming with my officemates.  dahhh.. 

this soap made its promise of whitening on me before. But im not sure by now since , my skin has too much exposure to mr. sunlight 

I just gave it a try , if it will still work or not. 

Packaging:

What i like about the packaging it comes in a matte black box the was been sealed properly. For me it looks very expensive, the box really represent its price. 

 i bought a small size of it in Mercury drug. it cost 75 php.While the price of the bigger one is 179 php I just need to try a small cut for this review. Because i still have lots of soap that was in line to try  It just lasted on me for 1 week . the soap is a cold process so it easily dissolve.  A cold process means they placed it in a high degree temperature to form it in a soap base.

I guess its too expensive, for just a price of a soap.

so here are the ingredients:

Sodium cocate, Aqua Arbutin , Vits vinifera, Lecithin, Linoleic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Ascorbyl phostate, glutathione, glycerin, carica papaya ennzym, perfium, reduce l-glutathione

Lets elaborate all of this: 

Sodium cocate - is a soap based 

Aqua arbtuin -is a expensive but potent whitening ingredient

vits vinifera- grapeseed extract

Tocopheryl Acetate-Vitamin E 

sodium ascorbyl phospate-vitamin C

Glutathione- it has a whitening propereties 

glycerin-can be found in every soap it makes a liquid solvent

carica papaya enzym-is a whitening agent

parfum-for the scent

Reduce L-glutathione- one of the content of glutathione

Verdicts:

What i like about the soap , its smells like 

a milk with papaya. I used to make a rich lather of the soap on my skin, I used to leave it for 5 minutes. It didnt dry my skin that much , unlike other whitening soap that quickly dries skin. I think it lightens my skin a little after the sunburn thing. 

Will I recommend this?  

yes! for those who want to use a whitening soap, its really effective

Rate: I will gave it 9/10, it is still expensive for a soap its price but for those who have a budget , its the right soap to use
