Product Review: Human Heart Nature All Natural Deodorant Stick

Hello everyone! I hope all of you are doing great. Me, not so good because I got sick but I'm getting better now so everything is going well so far. =)

Today I would like to share my experience with this new Human Heart Nature deodorant in stick form. I didn't try their roll on deo before because I don't like having to wait for it to dry before I can put on my clothes. So when this product came out last year, I bought it to try since I would like to switch brands. My previous deo is all natural too that I got from Healthy Options but that one has such a strong scent that I feel like it irritates my underarms.

Price: Php 199.75
Scent available: Powder Fresh

According to the Human Heart Nature website:

12 Deo Benefits, 1 Deo Brand:
1. Tea tree oil fights odor-causing bacteria
2. Instant-dry formula
3. Non-sticky after-feel
4. Sunflower oil helps lighten underarms
5. Smoothens underarms
6. Easy to rinse with no flaky buildup
7. No stains or streaks on clothes
8. No harsh alcohol that can darken underarms
9. No aluminum salts
10. No phthalates (synthetic fragrances)
11. No triclosan
12. No parabens

PROS:

- The scent is mild & fresh, definitely not overwhelming which I love. 

- It didn't stained my clothes.

- All natural & locally made.

- Cruelty free. This is the main selling point for me when I tried this.

- This worked great in smoothening my underarm if I used it with their Sunflower oil at bedtime.

- Easy to wash off during shower, no residue.

- It didn't darken my underarm.

- No irritation whatsoever.

- Easy to apply & dry as it is in stick form.


CONS:

- The deodirizing effect only last for around 6-8 hrs but after that your sweat will start to get some odor. I'm not sure if it's just my body chemistry reacting to left over products at the end of the day or it's because the product has came off & mixed on the sweat on my shirt. Nevertheless, I don't think this will be my product of choice during the humid summer weather. It even made me have a BO at the end of the day which is not nice. I can last a whole day with just a whitening cream on my underarm & I won't get any body odor so I'm pretty sure this deodorant is the culprit. 

- The stick crumbles easily so you better be careful in swiping it.

OVER-ALL RATING: 2.5/5

I love everything about this deo & I would have been happy with it if only it didn't cause me to have body odor. Really, the reason I use a deo is to make sure I still smell fresh after my 10hrs workday but since this product fell short on that, I think I'll continue on trying more brands. I really need one especially now that summer is coming. 

WILL I RE-PURCHASE? Definitely not. Milcu is way better. Even my whitening cream is better than this one in keeping me smelling fresh. I'm really disappointed in this product.

Review: Belo Antiperspirant Deodorant Roll On

Hello everyone! This post will be about the Belo Antiperspirant and Deodorant roll on that I have been testing for 2 months now. I have used this throughout summer and I think I've road tested it enough to formulate a review for you guise :)

Before we start, I wanted to give you all a brief background. My underarms were victims of harsh deodorants that were very famous when I was still in high school. I really hated how Secret and Rexona made my underarm darker and they never went back to their natural color even though I had stopped using it long time ago. I was also fond of shaving and then plucking so it added to the darkening and the chicken skin. I really don't have the confidence to wear sleeveless tops because I'm not fond of my underarms' appearance. I have tried a lot of whitening products but I guess I'm not that patient to continuously use whitening creams for long periods of time. Luckily, I underwent laser hair removal last year and it was the first step in dealing with my UA problem.

I also sweat a lot but I rarely use deodorant because I'm afraid my UA will get even darker. My default deodorant was Milcu but it doesn't work as antiperspirant so it's kind of useless when I wear colored shirts. But since I started exercising in the gym, I needed to pick up a real antiperspirant product because I don't want to be smelly haha. I have decided on this Belo product because it's new in the market and it's meant for whitening so I wanted to give it a try. 

NET WT: 25ml
PRICE: Php49.75


MY REVIEW:

YAY!

- It didn't cause any allergic reaction to my skin

- It did a wonderful job in keeping me smelling fresh the whole day.

- It lessened the sweating in my UA. I can confidently wear colored shirts now because I'm not worried I'll have sweat marks when I perspire.

- I felt like it helped in lightening and smoothing my underarms. I can now wear sleeveless tops because using this after I had finished my laser hair removal really did a good job in lightening the darkness of my UA.

NAY!

- I hope it comes in a stick format instead of a roll on. I hate waiting for it to dry before I put my clothes on especially if I'm on the rush. 

- It's hard to totally remove. I need to use either my cleansing water or toner at night before I take a shower so that I will know it's completely off. I really don't like the idea of leaving even a trace of antiperspirant on me when I sleep.

- It's a little pricey.

- I don't know if Belo is cruelty free or not. I had emailed the company to inquire but they haven't replied yet. I am really hoping that they don't test on animals.


OVER-ALL VERDICT: 5/5

I'm totally satisfied on the performance because it withstand the heat of the summer and have kept up with me whenever I go to the gym to exercise. I will continue to use this product unless Belo is not cruelty free.


Thank you for dropping by! Have a great week ahead :)

A Review: haircare and skin care products

I have tried so many products in the market..as long as it has a very good review, I will try it..here are some of the products that I have used lately..some worked and some doesn't..so if you guys have any suggestion for an alternative for those that didn't worked for me, please free to send me a comment..thank you! :)

Jason Moisturizing Shampoo P300+ (I got this on sale for P150 at Gateway Supermarket)

Pros: I love the idea that this shampoo is natural and organic and doesn't have parabens and SLS..It has a very mild scent and did not cause me to loose too much hair during shower and it is very moisturizing coz I don't need conditioner whenever I use it..this didn't made me breakout too (majority of commercial brand shampoos and conditioner causes me to breakout and prone to hairfall)!
Cons: I don't feel cleansed at all! Since this has no SLS, it doesn't lather up so I need to wash my hair 2x everytime just so I can "clean" all my hair and scalp..my scalp itch a lot too because I had dandruff while using this..
Will I buy it again? Probably not..I love how it did not cause me any breakouts and hairfall but it doesn't really clean my scalp and hair..and that is a problem since I have oily hair so it attracts dirt during the day..


Aveeno Baby Continuous Protection Sunblock Lotion SPF 55 P500+

Pros: It doesn't sting my face, it is sanitary to use coz of the tube packaging instead of a pot which can easily get contaminated, absorbs easily and did not cause me to breakout..This also has a very high SPF content so I am loving it because of that hehe..I also can mix this with my lotion for my arms and legs since this is not sticky even when hot..the price is very reasonable too coz this contains a lot of products.
Cons: I can only get this at S&R Stores that needs membership in order to purchase anything (luckily I have one near my place..sadly, I am not a member hehe)..it is a little greasy if you are oily skin (I am oily but I can tolerate it)..it has parabens and I am trying to stay away from products that have those kinds of chemicals.

Will I buy it again? Maybe. If I can't find any other sunblock lotion that is better than Aveeno Baby, I will definitely get one again when I finished up my current tube.


Elianto Pearl Eye cream P400+ (i forgot the exact price)

Pros: moisturizes my undereyes very well plus it is very light and easily absorbed by the skin. This doesn't sting too so I can use it regularly. you also would only need a small amount to cover both eyes and a tube can last you for more than 6 months 2x a day daily use.
Cons: did not helped in my dark circles which it claimed to do.
Will I buy it again? maybe. if just for the sake of moisturizing my undereyes prior to applying concealer..but NO if I plan to use it for my dark circles.

Kojic natural Whitening Deodorant P150 (Natasha Brochure)

Pros: keeps me fresh even when it is hot, doesn't sting and only has a mild scent.
Cons: did not help in totally lightening my underarm (that got discolored with shaving and using of harsh antiperspirant while I was in high school). since this is only a deodarant, it did not help in my sweating.
Will I buy it again? Nope. I need to find something with anti perspirant property that can help in the lightening my UA.


What about you? have you found any effective products that I can use for alternative for these items? especially for the shampoo..thanx! :)
