Just Some Products in My Closet

It took me three photo sessions just for me to get decent photos for this post and the post before this, the new place where I moved in just don't have enough natural lighting (and props, now I miss my niece cork board) so forgive the uneven color and blurriness of my pictures.

I love aloe gel and tried some from a couple of brands namely Nature Republic and It's Skin and so far this is the one with the most aloe on it at 95%.  The Saem Big Brother Soothing Aloe Gel offers the same goodness of the aloe gels I used:  it's soothing, refreshing and lightly moisturizers the skin without being sticky...it's a good companion on summer days especially when it's as if the skin is hot and burning as this can cool it down.  This one from The Saem is more jiggly (comparing it with Nature Republic's) and is not clumpy (comparing it with It's Skin's).  I like that it has more aloe but based on availability (I pre-ordered this) and affordability (because of the shipping fee), I'd chose Nature Republic (which is most of the time available in the malls that I go to).

I got this Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Relaxing Cream for free when I bought the serum from the same line...and I don't like it.  It has the same instant almost like erasing and smoothing of the skin like a primer would do effect but this one gives mini bumps on my face.  I thought the bumps would start to go away after 2 weeks of using but they just multiply so I used this instead on my feet but it's sticky and I feel a little itchiness from using it so I just have to give up on this product.  Also, I feel some grittiness when I apply it on my face, I don't know where it's coming from since the cream looks smooth.

This mist is an impulse buy when I was strolling in a mall while everyone seems to be panic buying plus it's from a brand that is new to my eyes and I can't believe that it's under Samsung!  A regular type of mist from a spray bottle which I hate because it doesn't sprit evenly (sometimes it squirts) and upon browsing mist from other brands, it hits me that I could have gotten a mist with a better packaging with what I paid for this but anyway, this is a handy mist that instantly refreshes my face without drying it or sets my makeup or tone down a bb cream when I apply slightly too much and it can also be use as a toner.  I don't know about the effect of the Coenzyme Q10 in it since I don't regularly use this stuff.

Nature Republic's Body Peeling Mist

Peeling? Intriguing!  Well it's the reason why I decided to try Nature Republic's Body Peeling Mist.

"Remove dead skin cells easily and bring your skin back to life with our Body Peeling Mist."

 -Nature Republic Philippines

I'm curious as to how this product works and it landed on my "products to buy priority list".  Silly me I only realized that I didn't ask the SA who assisted me on how to use the product when I got home (got excited and I'm in a hurry that time).  Aside from the "Nature Republic" and "With Polynesia Lagoon Water (MD 101)" everything is in Korean.  The only instruction that I got from the net is shake then apply all over the body then rinse with lukewarm water.

~MD 101~

So I shake the bottle and sprayed the product on my arm first.  After a few seconds, small white particles appeared.  Rubbed and the small particles clamped together (color changes too depending on the dirt in your skin. Mine's light brownish to grayish) .  It's like the peeling process starts when rubbing.  The mist tend to stick to the dirt of the skin. The dirt will then be removed when skin is rubbed and rinsed.  Result?  The skin immediately get a little fairer or whither and a bit smoother (probably because the dirt was wash away).

I can't find what Polynesia Lagoon Water (MD 101) means but from Nature Republic's website here is the meaning of MD Water:

Just a little warning, rinse immediately after rubbing.  There's a tendency that the clamped particles from the mist will stick to the hair and skin like a bubble gum and can be really hard to remove (it happen to me).  I use the peeling mist once a week on my elbows, knees and other dark areas in my body (hahaha).  Don't worry about spilling or accidental spraying of the product since the nozzle has a lock (^_^).
