- Sulfate-free
- Hair was less frizzy
- Nice packaging
Dislikes

- Despite using both products it did not make hair glorious like what it claims
- Not easily available
- Expensive for a shampoo and conditioner
Rate
2/5
I didn't like this shampoo and conditioner. Though frizziness did disappear, it didn't make my hair looked "bagsak", instead it looked dry. I guess I just stuck through it hoping it would beautify my hair in the long run. I do not recommend this product. I'd rather use an all-natural shampoo and conditioner which is also sulfate-free.
So here are my thoughts about this product. I hope I helped you with my reviews.

Dickinsons Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner Review
Witch hazel has been a cult favorite. It has been incorporated in different acne-fighting treatments,
may it be a toner, cleanser, or even a moisturizer. I have been eyeing this ever since but I just couldn't
find the small version in Health Options, so when I had the extra money (I was a student back then) I immediately bought this from healthy options.
Price
89(59mL) , 250+ (273mL) , 379 (473mL)
Bought from Healthy Options
Main ingredients
All-natural distilled witch hazel, containing natural grain alcohol 14% and witch hazel extract
If you're wondering, how does this make it a good toner when it contains alcohol?
According to an Amazon Q&A " It does not contain synthetic isopropyl alcohol;
but it does include 14% natural grain alcohol.....which is naturally produced during
the fermentation process of grains. If you have highly sensitive areas on your face,
use it every other day, because if you are sensitive to either ingredient you
will be able to manage the reaction better. "
Claims
- Tones pores
- Removes and balances oil
- Soothes and refreshes
- Helps depuff
How to use
Use daily after cleansing or before applying skin treatments. Moisten a cotton ball or pad and apply to face and neck. For best results, use in the morning and night for naturally soft and beautiful skin.

Dislikes
- Acne comes back if you stop using it, so it wasn't a cure at all
- Will not control your breakouts all alone
- Funky smell; Smells like a mixture of wood, plant, and alcohol, but tolerable.
- Only available at Health Options
- The smallest size is always out of stock

The first time I used it I didn't love it. It felt like water and I wasn't sure if it even contributed to helping my breakouts. But as time passes by I saw that my left cheek was getting clearer day by day, so I guess asides from the other products that I have been using it helped control my breakout. And when I decided to stop this toner, my pores were clogged immediately. So it was a really helpful product, though you still have to incorporate it with other acne-fighting treatments.
Update 2018:
I decided to use this again as I was having uncontrollable breakouts once again.I used this for 2 weeks this time. Unfortunately, it gave me a lot of clogged pores. So I will not be touching this product again. Would I recommend this product? I guess it's for you to try. But if you don't have sensitive skin, then I say go for it!
So here are my thoughts about this product. I hope I helped you with my reviews.

Human Nature Lip Scrub in Peppermint Review
I have a problem. My lips have been cracking up, and I have tried everything I can to solve this problem. I tried researching and found out that in order to have healthy lips you have to exfoliate at least once a week.
According to nuggbeauty.com
"Exfoliation is an important part of lip care, simply because your lips don’t have sebaceous glands to keep them moisturized. The sebum secreted by sebaceous glands all over your skin and scalp is what keeps them hydrated and nourished; your lips, on the other hand, have no means to keep them moisturized. Plus, since your lips are covered by a very thin layer of skin, it loses moisture fast. Hence, it is wise to keep a lip balm handy at all times."
So this is necessary for the lip balm to moisturize lips effectively. I chose to buy this lip balm because this is one of the affordable and natural scrubs available.
Price
175.00 (12g)
Brought it at Beauty bar in Eastwood Mall
Available at Beauty bar, BeautyMNL, human nature is also carried out at selected Robinsons supermarket
Main ingredients
Sacharrum officinarum (sugarcane) extract, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, Cera alba (beeswax), caprylic/capric triglyceride (vegetable-derived), Mentha piperita (peppermint) leaf essential oil, Mentha arvensis (corn mint) leaf essential oil, aqua (water), gluconic acid (plant-derived), sodium benzoate (plant-derived), tocopherol (Vitamin E)
Claims
A natural exfoliant that smoothens and softens lips. Sloughs off dead skin cells with fair trade sugar crystals from Negros; imparts and locks in moisture with sunflower oil, jojoba oil, and beeswax; gives a cooling, tingling sensation after use
How to use
Exfoliate your lips only 1-2x a week. My own preference is to put on the product while my lips are dry. The product runs down when I put it on wet lips, and it turns into waste.
Time used
3 months (weekly)
Likes
- Not cheap but affordable
- Minty, a cooling sensation is felt after application
- Lips feel soft after use
- Convenient packaging, small and does not leak
- 99.85 % natural
- Perfect consistency
- Will last you for months
Dislikes
- I have searched through BeautyMNL and there are indeed a lot of cheaper lip scrubs than this
- Not readily available
Rate
4.5/5
I know some may think that this is a waste of money since there are a lot of DIY lip scrubs you can do. I actually tried making my own with honey, sugar, and water, but what I couldn't get right was the consistency and I couldn't get the feeling of rubbing the chapped or dead skin cells since it was so runny.I think human nature lip scrub was perfect it has great packaging, great consistency, very solid, and I love the minty feeling afterward.
So here are my thoughts about this product. I hope I helped you with my reviews.

MIMI White AHA Serum Review
So whitening boosters seem to rave these days. Now, who wouldn't want a whiter complexion
in a span of 7 days! Also, considering that these whitening boosters are so cheap. If you didn't know AHA (Glycolic, Mandelic, and Lactic) cost 1500.00 and up when applied by a dermatologist.
When I heard about these whitening boosters I was so curious and I wanted to try it right away. It is pretty convenient since I don't have to use another lotion or whitening cream, I just have to add
it to the recent products that are already working on me!
Price
160.00 (30ml)
Bought this at Treats and Pieces, Eastwood
You can buy this online, Shoppee to be specific.
BEWARE OF FAKE PRODUCTS.
Main ingredients
Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) serum combining Glycolic and Lactic Acid
Time used
3 weeks
Claims
(According to a Shoppee store)
The main function is to exfoliate skin or remove dead skin cells.
Helps to make skin smooth and soft, helps lighten complexion.

How to use
(According to a Shoppee store)
Mix 2 - 3 drops of Mimi White AHA Body Serum with any lotion.
It can also be used or applied directly to your skin. See the results after 2 weeks.
Likes
- Easy to buy as it is available in most boutiques
Dislikes
- No whitening effect after 3 weeks
- The packaging was prone to spilling, it's hard to control the amount you want to get
- Since it's in Thai you don't know the ingredients of the formula. I just relied on the Shoppee description regarding the ingredients, I'm not even sure if that is true as there is many types of AHA.
Rate
1/5
I honestly don't recommend this product. I am even disappointed in myself for joining the hype and trying things that might burn my skin, moreover didn't know what it really contains.
After 3 weeks there were no obvious results. Luckily, the area where I applied it didn't darken, but it also didn't lighten. I felt like I wasted three weeks.
But at least I tried. Now I know that this whitening booster wasn't effective for me.
So here are my thoughts about this product. I hope I helped you with my reviews.
