-PA++: Prevents skin from becoming dark, uneven and blemished due to UVA rays

-Vitamin B: Makes skin fair

Direction for use: use twice a day for best results. Apply thoroughly to avoid produce rubbing off on clothes.

Warnings: 1) do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a product with sunscreen 2) store product away from sunlight 3) in the unlikely event of skin irritation, stop using and consult a doctor immediately.

Since I became fond of the green Vaseline, I tried another variety of it. I was very disappointed with the effect. I have learned that not every product of certain brand would suit one person. Different variety means different person.

This is not a moisturizing lotion for me. It feels dry in the skin and I’m not using it several times a day. I'm afraid that I’m putting so much unnecessary chemicals in my skin when in fact, I really don’t need. So, I use it only once or if the occasion needs it. When I knew I’m going to be walking under the sun, that's when I start to apply.

The smell really lasts long. In the second day of using this, I noticed that some of my dry skin is shedding off. I wonder if it exfoliates. After a week, my skin got many tiny bumps. I don't know if it resembles something like "bungang-araw". At this point, I have this acceptance that this is not my everyday kind of lotion. I would somehow survive in using this daily if I can wash this off in my skin every night. But that's too lazy for me to do.

Does it whiten?

I really cannot say so. I cannot persevere enough to judge it. The use of this for me is just for avoidance of harmful rays of the sun. I admit I initially became attracted to this because of the idea of whitening plus protection from Sun. Anyways, according to the bottle, it lightens, not really the word whitens.

Rate: 2/5

-Maybe I’ll still be using this if I’ll be going to beach.

Repurchase?

-So far NO. Yes if I’ll be needing it.

BAIES SUCREES sweet berries deep moisturizing lotion Review

with Vitamin E & Aloe

Sweet Berries body lotion contains a non-greasy formula with Aloe Vera extracts and Vitamin E to help hydrate you skin leaving it soft and smooth all day.

This lotion is an advance Christmas gift of my brother, something he bought in Watsons. It was on sale and cost around P200 above. This was just a guess because I didn’t saw the price tag. I find the packaging very cute. This lotion comes with a hand lotion and a body scrub.

The bottle of the lotion is very big. Because it’s heavy, it’s a hassle for me to get the lotion out from it. It smells sweet and looks mild and quite plain. The smell reminds me of candy. It’s not heavy to use and I don’t believe its deep moisturizing. Just enough to remove the skin dryness that follows after bath.

I like to use it frequently. If only it’s small, I will bring these in work. I doubt if the smell of lotion would linger long. I don’t take time to test though.

I don’t mind the absence of SPF. Besides, back in old days, people were not really using SPFs. But I will still use SPF if I will be flaunting directly in the sun. I don’t like the feel of thick SPF lotion in my skin. And also, I gave up the obsession of having a radiant looking skin. I know I’ll never will. But with the use of Kojie San soap in my skin, I really don’t get picky with the kind of lotion I will be using after.

This may not meet your expectation but it’s enough for my skin basic needs.

Manufactured in PRC. Do you know what this means?

Dislikes:

-I cannot find the expiry date in the bottle

-I wonder if this is dermatologist tested.

Rate: 4/5

-a plus factor from being cute. :)

Repurchase?

-It’s a YES and a NO. Yes because I like it and if I can still find some. No because I may be buying something or just waiting someone to give me some.

Going Out with Friends: Extended

These are few occasion that I have the opportunity to see them. It's hard to organize reunions even with the presence of gadgets to communicate. Worst, they may not be interested.

Ahhh... why did I blog this. Maybe I believe there are still some things to learn in simple events. I cannot help but be jealous on how people interact before. The old generation where technology can't yet intrude. I see my mom's old cards from people who take time to effort. I witness sincerity of the old tradition where people manage to give foods in the neighborhood. But why do I have this feeling that most of us are too busy now in less essential things and enjoying the indirect route. Material things are given much more importance over a single soul. Fear, lost of trust, and display of status.

Get to know a lot of people and from their mixture of attitude, habits and principle, choose the friend who you believe will stick through thick and thin. For those are sand in the center of your palm that will remain when all has lost.

Elementary and high school are the time to mingle and find real friends for that is the easiest time to find real people, still at raw. Innocent, bold, young, dreamer and idealistic. This is something that I hope the learning institutions have strengthened. The friendship, the bond, the proper recognition will become a healthier contribution to our community. Besides, the education’s next level is the academic’s real game...

College is a time test. The change of whole being. New adjustment. Rarely will you find a real friend. Because this is the stage you need to use your survival instinct. Gaguhan sabi ni Bob Ong. That is the culture. Worst is you got used. It aches my heart to see those idealistic individual to end up abused and corrupted. Gave up and played with the game never somehow find a way to remain in balance.

I learned that I really have to catch up for other things. Be updated. There are things to learn just by observing.

First Day of the Year and Where I Went.

Because I spent the horrible morning alone, I decided I’d better treat myself. I'm bit better compared those past few days where I will wake up in the morning due to painful headache and fever. Maybe all those heat went to my head.

Adventure and Gate Crashing.

I thought of describing this as “little adventure” but somehow I felt like a little villain. This New Year and a villain for this adventure? Guess? Because there’s no consent from the owner when I went into their house. And because of that, I wouldn’t post pictures of their house here, only some objects that fascinated me. Anyway, it was a rest house not far from beach. Since my cousin was doing some errand, he invited me there. With the care taker’s consent. Just like our usual habit, to take pictures.

The little mansion is nice. Yet I cannot say that it was totally beautiful. There is something missing that I can't figure out or maybe I’ll never will. Even with the presence of the garden, I cannot feel the life and warmth of the place that you will usually find in the places that's being dwelled. Imagine yourself in a paradise all alone. Though this may not be the only problem, maybe the design doesn’t complement the other place. Even the garden feels sad, they are not well taken cared. I wonder if the gardener is doing his best with the plants. (I used to see healthy plants). The landscape is dry, I prefer more and healthier Bermuda grass. This is something I’ll gonna miss with my own father, his resourcefulness in landscaping.

KFC Dinner with a Friend

No plans. No decisions. No proposed activities. I’m sick and I’m partly tired plus the effect of the medicine has already weakened. But still I have to do the planning. That’s my guy best friend. Sometimes a pain in my ass.  (Peace esp!) He went to fetch me but went into the wrong house. Certified Epic. I wonder why. It makes my brain bleed.

We entertained ourselves by some story telling while having some night meal in KFC and then just went home after. Anyways, I received a gift from him, a supposedly birthday gift on September. Since I was sick, I wasn’t able to buy a gift for him, though I said before that I have a change of mind and will not buy anymore.

When a guy buys the wrong stuff toy

This is why I am afraid of receiving gifts. If only he pays attention and remember things, and think of something that really suits my personality. Nonetheless, I’ll keep this as this is my first ever gift from him.

Best Friend’s Gift

Probinsiyana Welcomes 2014

I got sick. And so I got a reasonable escape from something, but I missed our family reunion. I wonder if this is a blessing or just not a lucky day or God has a reason, or it was just me whose effort failed or I really not gave much effort. I got plans. I’m in the middle of my preparation. Maybe the universe doesn’t want some things to happen. I had a fever during the last night of 2013. I stayed alone in the house. Noodles for dinner. Even blocked in SMS texting. End of free internet. There’s one thing that I wish didn’t happened though. That part I wouldn’t share. I wish some things would change for better so it wouldn’t affect others.

I still had a small feast this Mega Noche. Some tired fellow in his borrowed bicycle, a friend of mine, cared to drop by and gave me some food though.

So far, I realized that happiness is a choice and it’s time to be happy. Some of us are happy and some may drag the happiness out of us. I will now break the cycle and try to be happy and even seek for it!

Reflections next to happiness.
