My latest V&M and Skin Hour Haul with a Review

Here's my latest organic haul from 2 of my fave brands now..I got myself some Venus&Mars' Royal Pearl Soap and Skin Hour's Lucia Body Cream because of the raves it got :)

I haven't tried V&M Royal Pearl soap yet coz I still don't have a go signal at the moment from my derma..but if I can't help it, I'll probably use it on my body first haha..I also got another sweet note from Jamie..thanx Jamie! I hope I'll like it too :D

My sister wants to order another pot of Skin Hour Revitaleyes balm coz our pot is going low already..so I thought of trying their new Body Cream since it was on sale and I am looking for another body lotion to use on my super dry legs..I have tried it already..I like the smell coz it is very light but my brother don't like it..he always complain to me whenever I put some cream on myself haha..we share the same room so it is hard for the 2 of us..this is also my problem with my V&M Cleopatra rub..i love it but my bro and bf don't...I don't know what's with guys..they always complain about the scent of lotions and cologne if it is sweet smelling hehe :D

Anyways, Skin Hour Body Cream is suppposed to give intense moisture..and if paired with their body scrub, it will definitely soften your dry skin..in my experience, it does moisturize and absorbs well..it is not sticky and heavy even if it is hot..I like this lotion but sadly, I think I need a heavier duty one for my dry and scaly legs to be used at night coz it just lessened the dryness but not totally healed it..as I've said, the scent is light and not overpowering to the nose.. I love the tub container coz it is so easy to get products and I can finish it up to the last drop unlike with squeeze or pump bottles :)

I also got a sweet note from Char and a sample of their liquid body loofah..she's so sweet coz she sent me a sample to try it with the body creme..they have the same scent and I love the texture..it does not scratch my skin at all..and I feel clean after shower..love it! I'll definitely get myself a tub once I used up all of my body scrubs..thanx Char! :)

I'll comeback with a review on V&M Royal Pear soap after I used it for a month..Ciao! :)

Review: Skin Hour's Revitaleyes eyebalm

Most of you guys know how I was into organic and natural skin care lately because I came into conclusion that since I was already into healthy makeup (mineral makeup) for 3 years, why not go all out "healthy" for my skin care too..well, it is hard to go all out organic since the choices available in the market are either not 100% organic or they are too expensive for my budget..luckily, more and more locally available organic products are coming out at a much affordable price but still with superb quality products..I already found some organic items that I love (really HG material) that has replaced my traditional products already: Venus & Mars lip balm, emu lotion and soaps, Leyende shampoo and conditioner, and now Skin Hour eyebalm.

Skin Hour (http://skinhour.multiply.com/) is another local company that sells organic products..at first, I wanted to try their cleansing oil coz the Beautinomics have given it a great review and also some multiply friends of mine..but then, I can't seem to get myself to try it coz I'm really not sure about oils for my face (I break out easily)..so I really was skeptical..actually, come to think of it, I still am hehe..anyways, lately, they have released a new product call RevitalEyes..it is an organic eye balm that promises to help in dryness, dark circles and puffiness..and since the price is so affordable (only a P100!) and I am really in need of a new eyecream, I got one for myself :)


Here's what it says on their site about the product:


Revitaleyes Eye Balm
P100


An unscented eye balm applied under the eye during the night to diminish puffiness, firm skin and reduce lines. It also lightens dark circles and moisturizes the most sensitive area of the eye.


Ingredients: Organic beeswax, sweet almond oil, apricot seed oil, coconut stearate, collagen, vitamin k, calendula extract, vitamin e, grapefruit extract and orris root extract

My take:

Price: 5/5 -- the price is so perfect for my budget

Packaging: 4/5 -- it is in a pot and I need to dip my finger to get some product so it is a little un-hygienic just like in a lip balm on a pot..the good thing about it is that the pot really is filled with the product so you get your money's worth..no cheating like other containers.

Product: 4/5 -- i love it! it really keeps my undereye area well moisturized the whole day..it not only lessened the occurence of lines on my undereyes when I have concealer on but it also kept it looking fresh and free of dry patches..this made my concealer stay put too!
Will I buy it again? 100% YES! this is the best eye balm I have tried to date.

For all thise ladies and gents who love to use chemical-free products on your skin..this is definitely a must try..and for the price, how can you not even try it? hehe I LOVE this product so much that I don't think I will look for another eyebalm any time soon :)
