Feminine White Cream Thailand Review

by Lin Sy - 8:21:00 PM

Good morning Lovelins!!!! It is morning right now while I'm making this blog post. So if you are reading this post right now, maybe you are planning to buy or already bought one of this cream. Thailand has its reputation when it comes to beauty products and I can say that they have lots and lots of it. Again, I bought Thailand products because at first I was planning to sell them but my parents prohibited me since the products are not written in English that is why I end up using them, I even give some to my relatives for them to try. So I present to you this feminine white cream from Thailand also known as femwhite cream :)

Ingredients: Since it is not written in english I can't list what is the content of this product

How much I bought it: I bought it for 45 pesos each from Asian Vanity Shop

The product promises: It can whiten the dark areas of your body especially the inguinal part or the bikini lines. Results can be observed as early as 3-5days

How many times I used it: I normally use this once a day after bathing. Used this for more than a month to see its efficacy.

How do I use it: I scoop an ample amount of product and apply it liberally to the part I want to whiten.

Pros:

It smells like sampaguita, the odor is not that strong.
It does whiten a bit but not that much. So don't expect too much :)
it is creamy yet it is not so sticky.

Cons:

language barrier, funny story my mom use it on her face since she can't read what was written on it lol XD
45 pesos is a bit much for a very small cream.
the product is a shiny green cream which stains my fingers and of course my undies but at least it is washable :)
so it didn't fulfilled its promise to whiten as early as 3-5 days, I notice some changes after 3 weeks of applying.

Verdict: My rate for this product is 2.5/5. Its not as good as what has been circulating in online stores but it is not that bad as well. I'm just finishing up those I bought but I'm not planning to buy again :)

Recommendations: Don't expect too much because you'll end up hurting yourself (HUGOT haha XD) It requires long period of time to see the effects on topical products so if you wish to achieve the desired results, use the product faithfully :)

Thank you again Lovelins for dropping by, always make yourself comfortable in my little own world :)

New White All in One Cream Review

by Lin Sy - 1:26:00 AM

Good day Lovelins!! I've been doing a lot of reviews today since I have a chance and I don't know when will I have my free time to update my not-so-old blog site. So again I am reviewing a Thailand product bought from an online shop. The reason why I bought so many products is because I planned to sell it online but my parents rebuked me from doing so since the products are not really known in the country and also because of the language barrier. They were telling me that its not safe to sell and it may adverse effect on the customer. To make the story short, I end up using all of it hehe :) Another item I got is new cream all in one cream. It promises to whiten all of the dark areas in the body. Here comes my review.

How much I bought it: I bought the cream for 45 pesos from Asian Vanity Shop

The product promises: to lighten all the dark areas of your skin, it can be used as deodorant

How many times I used it: I used it once a day as part of my daily skin care routine.

How do I use it: I get an ample amount of the product and apply it in my dark areas such as the armpit, knee, elbow and bikini lines.

Pros:

it has a mango fruity scent. That's all, its the only pros I can tell about this product. Get ready for the cons lol XD

Cons:

what makes me hate it is it darkens my underarms, well my underarms are not that dark though but yeah its just sad.
the product came to me half filled. My money comes to waste for this product.
it is very sticky and hard to apply, it stains my finger especially my shirt. It makes me sweat even more.
the product only last up for less than a week.
45 pesos is not worth for the cream.

Verdict: I rate this cream 1/5 :( . My experience from this product is just sad. I've been reading a lot of good feed backs about it but the result really depends on the response of the body and mine's not good.

Recommendations: Stop using any product immediately if you see any signs of adverse effect on you.

I let the lather sit on my skin for about 5-10 minutes to let my skin to absorb it. I brush my teeth and wash my face while waiting. Then i wash the soap away with water.

Pros:

I do like the packaging. The soap is individually wrapped inside the box.
I like the fruity scent.

Vampire Soap Version 2 Review

by Lin Sy - 9:41:00 PM

Welcome back Lovelins!! :) So this time I will be reviewing Vampire Soap from Thailand . When I first heard the word vampire, the first thing that comes to my mind is the movie " Twilight". I like it though :3 Their pale skin, their fangs and their incredible power and immortality. So a little trivia, there is a condition called vampirism which exhibits some of those features of a vampire. So much with the fuss, the reason why it is called vampire soap because of its red color which resembles to the vampire's food, yes you are right! Blood. But it is actually made from rose extract which is known for its potent to whiten and brighten the skin.

Ingredients: Ascorbic Acid , Citrus Aurantium , Amara Fruit Extract, Cocos Nucifera , Fruit Oil , Fragrance , Glycerin Olea Europape Fruit Oil , Sodium Cocoate , Sodium Palm Kernelate, Tetrasodium EDTA , Tocopheryl Acetate and Water

How much I bought it: I bought it for 50 pesos from Asian Vanity Shop

The product promises:

Concentrate Formula for Whitening Skin
Formulated for Whitening, Bleaching and Pale Color Skin
Red Rose Extract makes achieve 6 lighter shade and Pale Levels After Usage
After Regularly Use Skin Color will become pale like Vampire Skin Color

How many times I used it: I only used it once a day as my regular bath soap. I used it for a month.

Pros:

I like how Thailand soap are individually wrapped inside the box.
I love the smell. It really smells like a rose.
It lathers easily.
It is a mild soap. There's no stingy feeling.
It does whiten my skin somehow slowly.

Cons:

It melts easily. It is like a jelly soap.
It does not whiten 6x my shade as promised.

Verdict: I rate this soap 4/5. I like it because somehow it whitens my skin and it is not harsh like the other whitening soaps.

Recommendations: Topical skin whiteners take some time to see visible results. Use it for a longer period of time. Avoid sun exposure while on a process of skin whitening to prevent skin darkening

Gluta Wink White Lotion Review

by Lin Sy - 8:41:00 PM

Hey guys! So after reviewing gluta nano here comes another item I bought from Beauty Arsenals, the gluta wink white lotion. I am very interested in this lotion because of its high spf. It is also one of the best selling product of Thailand because of its promising effects. From the name itself, its main ingredient for skin whitening is glutathione.

How long did i use it: I finished up a bottle. I used it every morning after I took a bathe.

• the product last long, it has a thick consistency that you don't need much to cover your skin.
• you can go outside without worrying you'll get sun damage because of its high spf.

Centella Body Cream Review

by Lin Sy - 11:47:00 PM

Hey guys!! Scars and stretch marks are the two major skin problems many girls were facing. Yeah I know, I am one of them. My greatest frustration is my skin. I will spend my money not on gadgets and clothes but onto a product that will solve my problem. After a lot of searching, I've come across this centella body cream also called "radish cream" which promises that it can reduce, improve, and fade your scars and stretch marks. And i was like " I think I found the one" :)

Front View

Back View

Ingredients:

Centella Extract, Allantoin, Glutathione, Aqua, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Extract, Cera Alba, Cetyl/Stearyl Alcohol, Dicaprylyl Ether, DMDM Hydantoin, Fragrance, PEG-20 Stearate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Vitamin B3

How much and where I bought it : I've got one from beauty arsenals 1k for 3 products and shipping fee is free and i bought again in Asian Vanity shop for 240 each.

How did i use it: I finished up 6 jars of it because you must use it consecutively for 1month. I apply it to my skin twice a day: day and night. I used it together with radish soap.

Pros:

• I like the consistency of this one. Its not hard to apply on skin. Its just like applying lotion.
• It is mild to the skin and soothes itchiness.
• it has a mild herbal scent. It smells like radish soap.
• it somehow fades my dark lines.

Cons:

• It doesn't erase my stretch marks and scars. I ended up using 6 jars of it just to give it more time but i decided to stop because i can't see any improvement anymore. i used it for two consecutive months.

Verdict: i rate this 3/5. Maybe it's just not the one :( I'm still trying to find the one. Centella body cream is not for me though.

Recommendations: try it for yourself. I guess my body has different mechanism. Topical products takes longer time to effect on me
