Product Review: Glam Works Foaming Acne Wash

Here I go again facing a dilemma on sprouting pimples on my face. This is because of too much stress and sleep deprivation. Since I don't have my Garnier Facial Wash, Toner and Roll-On anymore, I decided to buy another Garnier bottle at the department store. UNFORTUNATELY, and I mean unfortunately, the saleslady told me that their Garnier products are out of stock. HOW COULD THAT EVER HAPPEN? Garnier is my very trusted brand when it comes to combating pimples. So I searched for another facial wash and found this GLAM WORKS FOAMING ACNE WASH.

I bought this because there are two factors that convinced me to buy this product. First, it is so cheap. This is only for Php99. Second, it has salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and aloe extracts. Salicylic acid is known for drying up pimples fast, tea tree oil is has its antibacterial/antifungal properties, and aloe extracts is known for moisturizing the skin.

This is the back part of the bottle where you can see the product description, the active product ingredient, warnings, directions, and other product information.

This one is a close-up shot for the product description:

On the left side of the product you can see the manufacturing date and the expiration date.

And here you can see that the product has a seal. Hooray for this!

The packaging is nice, you would really get attracting to buying the product. To be honest that's the main reason why I bought this. Except for the very cheap price, I liked the packaging so much.

I used the facial wash for one week to give this a review. Okay, so the first time I used this, I was surprised because of the smell. It smells like PLASTIC. You know how Barbie dolls smell when you opened them on their box? It smells like that and I don't like it.

When I used it on my face, it does not foam a lot. Sure, it bubbled when I put a portion of water on my hands with the product, but when I put it on my face, the bubbles tend to slip out of my face.

Then the part where I hated it the most is when I rinse my face. IT WAS SO SLIPPERY AND SLIMY and I have to wash it with lots of water to get rid of the slippery texture on my face. Take note, it's not smooth, it's slippery. It's like you washed your face with slime. Yes, it is because of the aloe extracts.

After I wash my face, I did not feel clean. Salicylic acid has this kind of property wherein it will dry your face so your pimple would dry up, but after using this product for one week, I haven't seen my pimples dry, and it did not clean my face very well.

Product Review: Aido 12-piece Eyeshadow Palette

I am a college girl, and like most girls who are on the same age as me, I am fascinated with makeups, especially when they are really affordable. I was trying to find an eyeshadow palette which would not cost me too much, and I have stumbled upon this 12-piece eyeshadow makeup by Aido cosmetics.It comes with a small Fashion21 Lip Gloss, and it only costs Php100! It's really budget-friendly to all women out there, especially to those who are in a tight budget. Aido is a sister company of Fashion21, I think. 

This is how the product looks like:

So as you can see here, the palette comes with many colors to choose from. Very nice for something that's only worth Php100. :D It has its downfalls, though.. (Let's discuss them later!)

The shades can be applied on its own or you can make a combination from the other shades. Fun!

This one is a photo of the  palette with flash. It's already dusty because I've used it a lot of times before I make a review!

This is how the palette packaging looks like. :)

So what are the good points of this product?

- The packaging: It's sturdy and slim.

- There are many colors to choose from.

- Just for Php100, you get 12-color palette, and an eyeshadow applicator.

- The product comes with a free lip gloss.

And now, the bad points:

- The colors are NOT PIGMENTED. :(

- It does not stay long; you really need to apply primer before you put them on.

- I did not like the applicator. :(

- You need to re-apply the eyeshadow often (like every hour) because the color fades away quickly, especially if you have oily combination skin.

Even though this products has its good and bad points, I still want you girls to try this out. It may not work good on me, but maybe it would work well on you. ^^,
