Derma E Even Tone Brightening Review

I am really happy that more beauty and skin care brands are trusting me to review their product. I am not a beauty blogger, I am just a mommy blogger who takes time taking care of herself. I have a daughter who look up to me so I make sure that I am a good example to her, specially in taking care of skin.


Last month, Healthy Options sent me products to try! Their skin care line which is Derma E. I specifically asked for the even tone and brightening line because I am not confident with the evenness of my skin tone. I have acidic face eh so sometimes yung mukha may area na dark, may area na darker 🙁

Watch the unboxing of the products with Baby Marius! I tried the product once and decided to give a try for one whole month! I kept all my other skin care products and used only the products Healthy Options gave me (except for eye cream and lip mask pala).

Derma E Even Tone Brightening Review


All Derma E products are cruelty free, soy-free, gluten free, gmo free, has wind energy certificates, and materials used are recyclable.

Here are the products that Healthy Options gave me with a short review of each:

Derma E Essentials Make Up Remover (549 PhP)  does the job of removing make up. I haven’t tried using it on foundation since I don’t wear one, but noticed that it did removed my cc cream. I cannot say the same when it comes to my eyeliner and mascara though.

Derma E Even Tone Brightening Cleanser (675 PhP). I love this cleanser primarily because of the smell. It also non drying which is how cleansers should be. Problem? None at all, I like it from its simple packaging to dispensing to how it is when I use on my face.

Derma E Even Tone brightening Serum (1250 PhP). The serum, though a bit thick in consistency, spreads out evenly on the face. The takeaway? You need at least a minute or more before you can put on the moisturizer. It takes a while before it is fully absorbed.

Derma E Even Tone Brightening Moisturizer (1,250.00 PhP). The day moisturizer has SPF, that’s the only difference between the day and night. Consistency and smell wise, both are the same. Moisturizing effect? Both are the same. The moisturizer is thick. It takes a few minutes before I can feel my face again. Which at first, I thought was off but a few hours after, I was amazed. My skin IS NOT DRY. With my usual dry, I can already sense some dryness a few hours after moisturizing.

The brightening part? IT DOES BRIGHTEN MY SKIN TONE. Ever since I used Derma E, seeing my face every morning is a delight. No kidding! I have never been this confident showing my bare face. I even attend events with just face powder.

Where to buy Derma E products? Check Healthy Options nearest you or check Healthy Options Facebook Page for the branches where Derma E is available.

Seeing Through Essilor

I have been wearing eyeglasses since I was 8. I have a hate/love relationship with my eye problem. Sometimes I am OK with it but most of the times I do not like it. Who likes a problem anyway? My always concern is swimming, ang hirap mga bes, specially with my eye grade (which is super duper laboooo). I end up swimming with my eyeglasses, wala naman nagsabi na bawal di ba?

But my most favorite part of wearing eyeglasses is buying a new one (minus the bill part hehe). It’s a relief knowing that my eye condition is not worsening. And I got to choose a stylish frame, lalo na if I am buying at Quiapo. Eyeglasses frames there are super duper cheap. The lens are too! But it is only last year that I got to learn about the different lenses.

Dati, dalawa lang ang alam ko, Multicoated and ordinary lense. I usually get the multicoated because it is thinner. Ganyan lang palagi when I go to optical shops. Lagi lang tanong nila, “Ma’am multicoated or ordinary lens.” I wish they told me more about the different lenses provided by Essilor.

Buti na lang medyo attentive ako sa mga events invite. From there, I have learned about Essilor, got curious and now all our family’s using their lenses. NO GOING BACK TO ORDINARY LENSES.

So ayun na nga, ang dami palang lenses ng Essilor. They have lenses specific to the age of users. Different lenses din for protections. You can actually learn more about Essilor brands of lenses at their website. Our favorite kind of lens is the one that has protection from blue light. That’s the light emitted by your gadgets. It’s dangerous because our eyes are not effective in blocking blue eyes.

Ask your optha about blue light protection pag magpapagawa kayo ng eyeglasses. Three of my boys are wearing eyeglasses and all their lenses are with blue light protection from Essilor.

 

Banish Derma Roller And Masque Review

First time to receive an invitation to review a skin care from the US. Normally, I would say no. I am not a beauty or skin care blogger, I just love taking care of my skin. But Banish Products are hard to say no to. So here I am writing my Banish Derma Roller And Banish Masque Review.

Here are the products that I received:

Banish Derma Roller And Banish Masque Review

Almost a month after it was shipped, I got a notice from my post office. Basically, shipment from US to the Philippines is 3-4 weeks.

The Banish Kit I got includes the following:

  • Banish Kit (Banish Oil + Banisher Roller) $75
  • Vitamin C Beauty Elixir $19
  • Pumpkin Enzyme Masque $49 $35
  • Activated Charcoal Clay Masque $29

Here’s my short Banish Derma Roller And Banish Masque Review I posted on Youtube:


Banish Derma Roller And Banish Masque Review

The video also includes How to use the banish roller and the masques.

I received two masks, Banish Pumpkin Enzyme and Activated Charcoal. I prefer the Pumkin Enzyme Masque because of the smell. For me, it is also easier to use since I do not have to prepare it. I also love the tingling sensation it gives to my skin. And I am planning to order another bottle soon! Whenever I use this masque, I always receive compliments about my skin. I use the Banish Pumpkin Enzyme Masque once a week.

I less like the activated charcoal because it is less convenient to apply. I have to mix it water to form a paste and apply to my skin. I also find it a bit challenging to remove. I see some users preferring it as nose pack rather than a face mask. I still have to try together with the pumpkin masque (I realized my nose needs some serious work!).

The Banish Kit is their best seller because of its effectiveness. It includes a derma roller which “pinch” the skin and in turn stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself. Feels like “What does not kill me makes me stronger” but this time “make me prettier” hehe. The oil that comes with it also helps the skin to repair itself.

Another favorite from the Banish products I received is the Banish Vitamin C Beauty Elixir. It works like a mist and I use it 2-3 times a day, depending on how dry my face gets.

You can get your very own set of Banish Kit by ordering at Banish Acne Scars online store.
