Playtex Gentle Glide 360 Tampon (Super Absorbent) Review
We planned a beach outing, and for months we were enthusiastic until the day before came, where I, unfortunately, got my period! I didn't want to bleed out on all the land trips, and I didn't want the disgusting feeling of a wet napkin. So I tried using a tampon!
Price
Around 150.00 as of 2018 (8 tampons included)
Bought at Watsons
Can be bought from online shops and Rustans
Not available in Robinsons supermarket, I checked
Main ingredients:
Rayon, Cotton String, Polysorbate 20
Claims
- Unique 3 layer design helps protect against leaks
- Cone shape pledget helps for easy removal
- Slim applicator and round tip helps smooth insertion
- Hygienic and durable wrapper lets you take your tampon everywhere you go
How to use
Click here! (Full tutorial on how to use a tampon)
Just remember to wash your hands before and after application. And if it gets uncomfortable it just means that the tampon hasn't been pushed far enough. So push, push, push!
Time used
1 week
Likes
- There is a 4 absorbency range. Light, regular, super, and super plus. Naturally, the higher the absorbency range the thicker the tampon will be.
- Feels like nothing when you insert it right
- Hygienic since the tampon is covered in plastic; Nice packaging
Dislikes
- You are not aware whether the tampon is full or not, hence it' might leak. You should always monitor the time you're using it
- It hurts when you don't insert it right
- Application is very messy
- It is expensive; You'd probably use 2-3 tampons per day, and a box only contains 8!
- Only available on selective outlets
Rate
4/5
Even though the cons outweigh the pros I think using a tampon is very convenient. And if I didn't have a hard time inserting it, and if it wasn't so expensive I'd want to use this every time. Imagine the convenience of almost feeling nothing while on your period. Disgusting POV ahead, it actually looks like a small longganisa when you pull it out, causes the cotton sucks all the blood. I do recommend this if you want to try it out.
So here are my thoughts about this product. I hope I helped you with my reviews.

Pixi Glow Tonic Review
This has raved in Sephora, it has more than 1000 reviews! So many people claiming that it cured their acne, lightened their acne marks, and changed the texture of their skin. Since my skin was clearing up, I wanted to target my acne marks. Indeed this was on the pricey side, but I have tried doing Glycolic Acid treatments in clinics and my gosh, it was worth 1700 per session. Indeed for a toner, this was still on the pricey side, but this was really cheaper than a derma session. But of course, there was the risk of burning your face since this was an acid.
Price
390 for 15ml/ 1050 for 100ml/ 1950 for 250ml (beautymnl, always sold out)
407 for 15ml/ 995 for 100ml/ 1990 for 250ml (sephora)

Likes
- Lightened acne marks in a matter of weeks
- Gave skin a smoother texture
- Less cystic acne experienced
- Alcohol-free
Dislikes
- Caused purging for 3 weeks
- Caused little bumps on 4th week
- Face felt oilier
- Expensive for a toner
- Fragrant, not good for sensitive skin
Rate
3/5
I really could see that I was purging as small pimples would appear and disappear the next day, this went on for 3 weeks. Cystic acne was less. And acne marks lightened in a matter of 2 weeks! Although my face felt oilier I wanted to endure it, believing that this would be a good product in the long run. Unfortunately, when the 4th week came I was experiencing so many little bumps on my face. And for sure this was the culprit since this was the only thing new in my regimen. I already gave it my 4 weeks and I didn't want to continue it any longer since clearly, it was causing irritation. After discontinuing this product the small bumps went away, and everything came back to normal.
So here are my thoughts about this product. I hope I helped you with my reviews.

Mamala Virgin Deo v3.0 Review
Joining the hype once again, with this crazed Mamala Whitening Deo. Everybody has been raving about it, getting so many reviews in Shopee, Lazada, and almost all famous online shops you could find. So is it worth the hype? What are the differences between versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0? Continue reading below and let's find out!
Price
350.00
Bought it on Shoppee
Most concept stores sell this product
Main ingredients
Take note this is version 3.0, and I must say I am not impressed with the ingredients. It contains
such few whitening agents because they wanted to produce a milder formula.
v3.0 ingredients:
Let's compare it to version 1.0 which caused raves and really lightened so many dark pits.
v1.0 ingredients:
Ascorbic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, Allantoin, Gigawhite, Glutathione, Cucumis Sativus Extract, Emblica Extract, Niacinamide, Pearl Powder, Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe Barbedensis Leaf juice, and Aqua.
No wonder v1.0 lightened many dark pits. It contains so many whitening ingredients!
Claims
- Mamala Virgin Deo is an all-in-1 underarm cream
- Lightens underarms
- Reduce chicken skin
- All-day Odor protection
- Light and Non-greasy
- Safe for breastfeeding moms
- 1 jar contains 10g of cream that can last up to 4 weeks (day and night application)
How to use
Use morning and night for best results. Do not use with any other deos.
Time used
3 weeks
Likes
- Milder formula
- Pleasant smell
- Cute packaging
Dislikes
- Minimal whitening effect
- Small jar, lasts only for 3 weeks
- Contains alcohol, it stings
- Caused irritation
- Not easily accessible
Rate
3/5
I wanted to love this product as many people were claiming that it lightened there underarm in a span of 10 days. But I guess there are misconceptions, as one they only sell version 3.0 (now) which has a milder formula or milder ingredients, and a lot of people say it isn't as effective as the first formula, which contains a lot of whitening agents. So maybe those 7 or 10-day miracle were possible, but it was due to the first version. There are also some speculations that version 2.0 which contained the blue particles causes dark underarms, so better stay away from that.
So here are my thoughts about this product. I hope I helped you with my reviews.

Villa Alfredo's resort - Paradise in Pampanga!
Villa Alfredo is truly a paradise in the heart of Pampanga! I have to say I was amazed by how big the place was, how many types of cottages and hotel rooms there are, and of course, by how wonderfully themed their swimming pools looked.
ACCOMMODATION:
We stayed at Lyn 4. The Lyns had 2 queen-sized beds, a bathroom, a dining area, and a karaoke machine. We were a 12 packed group and we managed to fit in in that room, with the help of an extra bed of course. Villa Alfredo has so many options to choose from when it comes to accommodations, may it be for day swimming or an overnight stay, from 2 pax to 350 pax and from simple to luxurious place.
POOL:
You can hop from pool to pool. Adults will surely be satisfied and children will be so excited. Their theme ranges from playful to elegant. They have a wave pool, bubble pool, kiddie pool, and many more. And of course, they also have what everybody looks for in a pool, SLIDES!
AVIARY:
This has to be my favorite place in the resort. For a price of 30 pesos, you can experience a bit of a wildlife adventure. What I like most about the aviary is they let the animals roam and fully interact with the people. But of course, after interacting with the humans, they let the animals take their rest, which is what's most important.
FACILITY:
Their facilities are clean. I was surprised to see employees sweeping around at 4 am. They also have a lot of amenities, like wall climbing and a mini zoo. The place also has a designated smoking area. They have a mini-mart, which is on the pricey side. They'll also give you a green cart, to put your stuff in, so you don't have to worry about carrying your heavy bags to your place.
SIGNAGE:
Here is a glimpse of the important rules and regulations that you have to follow and a list of prices.
Overall, it was a really fun adventure and I surely won't forget Villa Alfredo. I recommend this place if you really want to have fun and splash around! If you want to get the full details, on villa prices and for more info, you can check out their website villaalfredos.com.
