Review: Human Heart Nature Moisturizing Conditioner - Avocado & Seaweed


Price: P44.75 (50ml)
Packaging: clear tube / bottle, hygienic
Pros: affordable, makes hair shiny,  soft and smooth, organic
Cons: none

This was the conditioner highly recommended by my dealer, when I told her that I would like a conditioner that will make my hair soft and silky smooth. The conditioner indeed was able to give the results I wanted. I no longer worry about my hair being dry . I've been using the product for almost half a month and I did not find any negative effects on my hair. I no longer take much time in combing my hair since its less or tangle free.

Review: Human Heart Nature All-Natural Deodorant (Rosemary & Sunflower Oil)


Price: P79.75 (50ml)
Packaging: Plastic bottle with roll-on mechanism, hygienic, easy to hold bottle

Pros: organic
Cons: wasn't able to control odor and sweat at a long period of time

When I found out that there is all natural deodorant, I told myself I need to try it and find out if it suits me. It has been a long time ever since I tried to look for an alternative deodorant since many in the market contains harmful chemicals that could contribute in causing illness to our body. 

             It's all natural, HHN made it clear which harmful ingredients the product doesn't contain.
Triclosan-free • Paraben-free • Parfum-free • Glycol-free • Alcohol-free • Aluminum-free (from hhn website) 

I was able to try the product for 2- 3 times, but since I easily sweat a lot,  the product was only able to keep me sweat free and odor free for 1 hour. Too bad it wasn't able to keep me sweat free and odor free longer. With this I will continue to find another alternative. I hope to find an organic deodorant which performs better soon. Wish me luck :)

Review: Human Heart Nature Sunflower Beauty


Price: P99.75 (50ml)
Packaging: hygienic, clear bottle with pump, doesn't spill easily

Sunflower oil as describe in HHN website can be used to lighten eye bags. It also contains vitamins A, D & E to help fight wrinkles and naturally protect skin from infections and irritants.  (from HHN website). 
My personal experience when I used it on my eyebags, I notice after a few use I developed milia under the eyes so I stopped using the product when it comes to the skin. Too bad I was really looking forward in making a good review. Maybe I'm just allergic to sunflower oil. I'll just try to use it next time as a hair moisturizer.

Review: Etude House Precious Mineral, LUCIDarling Fantastic Rouge Lipstick




RECIPE FOR SUCCESS: The picture was taken last Oct 15,2010 a costume contest themed "men and women in uniform" was held in the office. Some of my officemates commented it was better if I used a Korean flag on my uniform since the getup was very cute <3. At the following week it was announced that I won the contest for the individual entry. Thank you Etude House for the products! I really felt happy of the overall look. I had many pictorials with officemates. I used the products of Etude House mentioned below.

Products Used

Base Foundation/ Concealer: Precious Mineral BB Cream Sheer Glowing Skin 
Finishing powder: Precious Mineral BB Compact
Lipstick: LUCIDarling Fantastic Rouge Lipstick number 5 [pink shade]

How did I get the look?
1. I first applied Precious Mineral BB Cream Sheer Glowing Skin thinly on my entire face. I reapplied the BB Cream on the areas of my face with blemishes. I waited a few minutes for my skin to absorb the BB cream.

What I love about the Precious Mineral BB Cream Sheer Glowing Skin?
  • The shade is just right for my skin. 
  • It does not feel oily.
  • It's light on my skin ( I feel like I'm not wearing any make up)
  • It gives off a flawless glowing skin effect

  • The packaging of Precious Mineral BB Compact is cute and femine.
  • I love the writing on the mirror "You are my girl". 


3. Before applying a lipstick, I used lip balm to prepare my lips and ensure that my lips are well moisturized. To achieve lovely sweet pink lips, I used  LUCIDarling Fantastic Rouge Lipstick number 5. By using a lip brush I was able to control the desired shade of the lipstick. (I applied the lipstick very lightly >.< )

What I love about the LUCIDarling Fantastic Rounge Lipstick 5 ?
  • I love the shade of this lipstick. ( This is the first lipstick I ever purchased in my life. I was really looking for a light natural lovely pink shade for a very long time. This was the lipstick recommended to me by a sales assistant in Etude House.)
  • I love the packaging of the lipstick, its so cute, very feminine <3.

Review: Human Heart Nature Strengthening Shampoo - Pearl Powder & Aloe Vera

Price: P36.75 (50ml) ; affordable
Smell: Strong peppermint
Packaging: good; wont spill


I started using HHN Strengthening Shampoo last Oct 19, 2010. I immediately smelled the peppermint and felt it is minty once used. After using the product, I felt refreshed. After combing my hair I noticed there were only a few hair strands stuck in my comb. The product really promises less hair fall once used. I'm really happy with it. So far I didn't have any dandruff breakouts during the time I used the product.









Pros: 
  • Less Hair Fall
  • Controls dandruff
Cons:
  • Makes my hair dry
Reco:  If you opt to use this product. Use it with a conditioner.

November 6, 2010
It's been 22 days since I continually used this product... With this I could say... "Goodbye to dandruff and hairfall!". >.<

It has a nice refreshing smell. It takes time to make pimples, warts and moles smaller. It helps get rid of itchiness on insect bites. 





Review: Aromacology Refreshing Toner (100ml)


Packaging: not good; if you are not careful you could spill the product (i already spilled by accident 50% (x_x) ) My reco if you want to use the product buy a good container and transfer the product.
Smell:  strong smell.
Price: P180 for 100ml
Ingredients: Witch hazel, Lemon grass and Tea Tree

The first time I used the product it feels very refreshing, although it stings a bit. The products cleanses my face very well, you could see all the dirt in the cotton. It doesn't tighten pores, but cleanses well and help dry pimples.

Review: Human Heart Nature Aloe Vera & Guava Facial Wash





Skin type: Oily
How many hours before my face gets oily? 4-5 hours (this depends on skin type)
Cost: P69.75 (50ml)
Packaging: good packaging the product won't spill
Appearance: transparent gel form
Smell: guava

I've been using HHN facial wash since Oct 15, 2010. The product is in a transparent gel form. My acne gets dry after wash. I do not have any allergic reaction on the product. My skin started to have minor peel in certain areas. I'll be giving feedback after 1 month of use.




November 6,2010
It's been 22 days since I used the product continuously. For the first week that I used it my pimples became reddish and dry. My dealer said this was a normal reaction of the product since my skin was still adjusting to it. On the second week my pimples dried up pretty well, there were also some areas of my face that was peeling dead skin. On the third week, there were lesser pimples on my face. I notice that my skin was less oily compared to the time that I haven't started using the product.

Review: Human Heart Nature Peppermint Lip Balm



Smell: like vicks
Texture: non-greasy
Packaging: Hygienic
Cost: Affordable at P 59.75
Will  I buy again? Yes. Once I finish my lip balm

I've been using petroleum jelly before I switch to lip balm. My lower lips has always been very dry with chapped appearance. Even though I drink lots of water, it wasn't enough.

I've started using HHN lip balm since Oct 15, 2010. On the third day of use the dry layer of my lips gently peeled off on its own. My lips became soft and more moisturize compared to before. I no longer need to worry about dry lips. I did not experience any allergies on the product since it is mild and organic. I'm happy using the product.

Nov 6, 2010
It's been 22 days since I used the product... and still counting... The lip balm keeps my lips soft and well moisturize. I've been applying it as frequent as possible.
