Asian Secrets Bengkoang Soap

I’ve been using this product for so long now that I was surprised to find that I haven’t blogged about this. I saw this at Watsons for the first time and since it’s a whitening soap, I immediately asked the whitening product expert, Kitten. I’m afraid to use whitening soaps as they tend to make me itch but I was using Dove Go Fresh soap at that time and it was making me itch so I needed a replacement. Kitten said that this soap is okay and it smelled really nice so I immediately got it. Like the body scrub, this works well on my uber sensitive skin too. I do experience a bit of dryness but nothing that a good lotion can fix. I guess most whitening products do that to your skin. I have no idea if the whitening stuff works. I use this soap because it’s one of the few soaps in the market that doesn’t give me allergies. I’m looking at my skin right now and I don’t think I became whiter. Maybe you have to use this religiously. I don’t. I change soaps every now and then to avoid t...

Kojie San

If you’ve been reading my blog for quite some time, you would know that I’m not a huge fan of whitening products. Sure, I use them but not because I want whiter skin. For example, I use the Belo Whitening Lotion because it’s not sticky and it’s non-greasy. My skin absorbs it very well. I also use the St. Ives lotions but I only buy them when budget permits so the Belo lotion is my alternative. I bought the Kojie San Dream White because of that 60 only sign. But before I bought this, I asked my friend Kitten if this was a good soap. She’s the whitening expert, you know. There are 2 small soaps inside the box. I haven’t done any calculations yet but I’m betting that this is actually more expensive than the full size version. I like my bar soaps to run out fast so I chose this one. I love this soap. I don’t know about the whitening and anti-aging properties but I know it smells great and it moisturizes my skin. And it doesn’t give me any allergies or make my skin itch after bat...

Monday Loot

Look what arrived last Monday... These are the things inside... Teehee! Of course the cookbooks and the laptop are not included. I finally got my orders from Ilog Maria! I love to cook. I have a food blog at http://www.240baon.blogspot.com/ that's why I have those cookbooks. I order them from a man who sells books in the office. We fondly call him "manong books". We also have a "manong lunch" and a "manong merienda". The books are P75 each. The recipes are quite simple and easy to cook. The only problem is the list of ingredients. There are ingredients that are hard to find/not available here so the key is substitution. Trust me, these books will squeeze out your creativity. In the box are lavender, spearmint and milk & honey soaps, lip balm and a bottle of massage oil. I've only used the milk & honey soap, lip balm and the oil. Let's talk about the soap first. It smells too manly for me. MB loved it. I noticed that my skin was softer...
