Hi dolls! I know I mentioned before that I will be putting myself in the no-buy zone. But I moved back to my hometown and I needed to stock up on my must-haves. Also, I have a voucher and I needed to cross out one big naked beauty lemming on my list. So tadah.. I have a beauty haul! So now that I (hopefully) convinced you dolls to accept my lame excuse, lets proceed with my small haul shall we? (wink!)

Last month, while I was browsing at Watson's, a lovely lady handled me a leaflet about Iwhite Korea's latest product; - the GlutaBerry White Soap (Php89). 
When I read "mulberry extract", I was sold immediately. I remembered that my beloved Skin Whitening Vita Moisturizing facial wash has that potent ingredient too. Look, the one I got even came with a free iWhite Korea whitening pack (sweet!).

See pictures below!

The name GlutaBerry is a concoction of two essential ingredients that are clinically proven to do good for the skin; - Glutathione and Mulberry extract. It's quite a good tandem, if you ask me. With so many other soaps in the market packed with glutathione, papaya extract, kojic acid, etc, I find it quite refreshing to see a product that is beyond the typical norm of the whitening soap industry. I'm sure you would agree that it is not everyday that we see Mulberry extract written on the box of a soap. 


You can see in the poster that GlutaBerry White Soap is the first marketed Mulberry white soap in the country. But what is the big fuzz about that? Well, according to research, "The tyrosinase inhibiting quality of mulberry root is not only one of the most potent, but most gentle. It is known to be soothing and is not a significant irritant, even in high concentrations. In one study, the skin lightening effect from mulberry extract was proven. A 0.4% concentration of mulberry extract inhibits tyrosinase by 50% compared to 5.5% for hydroquione and 10.0% kojic acid."*


But the fun part doesn't stop there, because it also contains Kojic Acid to lighten skin spots and Vitamin E to ensure that the skin is supple all year round. Gee, with all these skin-loving elements, I am all in for this soap!


I am already half way with my second bar, which I think is still immature to see the lightening effects, but I can vouch on how moisturizing it feels on the skin. I use this as an all over body soap and every wash was such a delight. It foams nicely and has that dainty floral scent that leaves my bathroom, smelling clean and fresh too. 


So yes, I am enjoying lathering this soap and I recommend this to anyone. 


How about you? Have you tried the GlutaBerry soap already? Let me know, ayt?


Until then.


Peace and Love!

Last Wednesday, I dropped by at Biocostech Philippines' (IWhite Korea) office at Annapolis, Greenhills to claim the Ipad2 that I won in their Ilike Iblog challenge. I was happy to see again the wonderful people behind IWhite Korea. 

(With Desiree Berin, Jan Michael Barretto, Me & Barbie Cuenco)


They were all warm and super nice! My handy photographer (read:Bf!) wasn't able to shoot blog-worthy pictures because we were laughing all the time!


And here's my prize!

And after verbally expressing how I adore their Skin Whitening Vita Moisturizing Facial Wash, they handled me one plus a bunch of samples! Another yey for me!


Thanks again to IWhite Korea and to all of you who made this win possible! Group hug!!!! 


And to keep the Ipad2 nice and well protected, bf and I dropped by at Power Mac and bought a screen protector and a foldable case.


We picked this Ozaki iCoat Notebook Cross Patterns with Stylus because it's reasonable priced (only Php2400) and classy. :) 


And here's the Ipad2 safe and sound (w/ Moleskine application on the screen)

Now, tell me your favorites applications that you think I should install in my new baby. I have been an android girl ever since, so I would love to know all your suggestions!


Until then.


Peace and Love!

I love that with the help of innovative beauty products, I can enjoy the luxury of having a facial (without the painful prick-my-whiteheads drama) at the comfort of my own bedroom and without swiping my credit card. Who doesn't want to have that radiant, glowing skin minus the heavy price tag, right? 


Lucky me, I have found the right skin regimen that makes my "me-time" incredibly easy, pleasurable and worthwhile with iWhite Korea.



iWhite Korea covers all the missing links in any girl's dream skin line; - it cleanses, nourishes and protects the skin like no other brand. Enhanced with bio-nanotechnology (which by the way is unique to this line), iWhite Korea uses nothing but the best technology in the market to deliver exquisite results. As I have mentioned in my previous post, I have been a user of their products over the years and I am sure that I am just one of their many satisfied consumers. As I have rediscovered my love for iWhite Korea's Whitening Pack and Nose Pack, I have also found new loves with their Vita Moisturizing Facial Wash, Skin Whitening Facial Cream and Skin Whitening Vita Aqua Moisturizing Cream (my fave!). Caution: the raving part is about to begin! (wink)


Let me start with Skin Whitening Vita Moisturizing Facial Wash

A facial wash beyond extraordinary. Processed using a breakthrough scientific formula which was also refined by bio-nanotechnology, makes it more potent yet gentle in deeply cleaning, removing excess oils and eliminating all skin impurities without drying the skin. It's especially formulated with Mulberry Extract to whiten skin, Panax Ginseng to revitalize and improve skin conditions, Allantoin and triclosan to help prevent pimples and other skin irritations plus Vitamins C and E to protect the skin from free radicals and emolients to prevent dryness.


Next we have the Whitening Pack 

Yep, our favorite peel off mask is now available in tubes! This little guy removes deep-seated dirt, whiteheads, blackheads, dead skin and other impurities to reveal a radiant, glowing, younger-looking skin. I use this twice to thrice a week and it instantly revives my skin. It is non-irritating and especially formulated with Mulberry Extract that evens out discolorations, Panax Ginseng Root Extract that improves skin health and Vitamins A, C, E and B5 to prevent premature aging. I even use this to remove my make up on days when washing my face feels like a burden. This is one product that will never be absent in my slumber parties and girlfriends beauty bonding sessions!


Now, the Nose Pack

Another old time favorite product of mine! It is effective in removing whiteheads and blackheads and eliminates deep-seated dirt, excess oil and other impurities on the nose. I pair this with the Whitening Pack every 2-3 times a week. I don't get pimples that often but Iaccumulate whiteheads on my nose perhaps faster than anybody else and this has been my life saver! Caution: you might get shock with the amount of dirt it can deplete from your nose! :)


Next in line, Skin Whitening Vita Aqua Moisturizing Cream

This little tube captured my heart on the very first night that I applied it on my face. It is the only whitening and moisturizing cream that turns into real moisture as it touches my skin. The soothing feeling that it leaves behind is 
freaking awesome and kinda addicting! I can't stop touching my face after putting this on. My face feels hydrated, supple and refreshed! If you have oily skin and you are dying to find that perfect whitening moisturizer, go run out and grab this water-based cream! Look!





See the water droplets? I'm sure you will send me hugs after trying it out! It has the perfect combination of Mulberry Extract to whiten skin discolorations, Green Tea Extract and Vitamins A,C,E to protect skin against cellular damage and premature aging, Aloe Vera and Vit B5 for elasticity and firmness of the skin. Truly, this cream will suit all skin tones and all age groups. 


And lastly, Skin Whitening Facial Cream (65ml)

Perhaps, my second new love. It is a natural facial cream that gives you 3 benefits in one;- whitening, dual uv protection  and make up base. It is non sticky, very light and works really well with make up. I just wished that it was tinted enough to give coverage as well. This could be a potential blemish balm cream if it contained a little bit color. 


And that wraps up my love with my iWhite Korea tube babies! These little wonders come in sachets too so if you would like to try them first, you can opt to get them in sample packs. Do try them and let me know how you like them ayt? 


But before I let you all go, let me shock you with this pic!

That's me and bf waiting for our whitening pack and nose pack to dry (while watching Insidious, beat that!). Sorry for the lack of emotion, the pack has that botox-like feel, haha!
Anyhoo, I'm super excited to read all your comments!

Yesterday, I attended iWhite Korea Bloggers' event at Papa John's Greenhills. We were flooded with delectable food and graced with so much information on how iWhite Korea's products will keep our skin clear and vibrant! 


Presenting, the skin care regimen for a clean, clear and fairer skin!



(L-R: Moisturizing Facial Wash, Aqua Moisturing Cream, Facial Cream, Nose Pack, Whitening Pack)


iWhite Korea has a plant-base whitening skin care line that uses Bio-Nanotechnology to extract the core nutrients, making it more refined and potent. It has Mulberry extract, Panax Ginseng and Vitamins A, C, and E. I have been a user of their Whitening Pack and Nose Pack for quite a long time now and I am pleased to see that these little skin treats now come in tubes as well! I'll do in depth reviews about their line soon, so stay tuned for that, ayt? In the meantime, indulge me in sharing some of our fun-filled moments during the event!
