Product Review: Ever Bilena Advance Make-Up Remover


Since I started using makeup I don't have any other product in using to remove my makeup other than Baby Oil. I have been completely contented with it because it's cheap and I just have to slightly wipe off my eyelids, face, and lips with it on a piece of cotton ball and after a few seconds, my face is already free from makeup.

I purchased Ever Bilena Advance Make-Up Remover just so I could try using it on my face. This product is probably the most affordable makeup remover in the market.

This is now the product looks like: (Front)



This is the back part:


As you can see, there's still a price tag and it only costs Php95. I don't know what the blue part of the fluid is called but I think it's the agent that cleans and removes the makeup from the face.

This product pretty much does what the baby oil does. It's just that, when I used it to remove my eyeshadow, my product got into my eyes and it was painful. There was a burning and stinging sensation directly in my eye balls (and hapdi, friend!). So I told myself, I'm not gonna use this on my face again, especially on my eyes. Now I am using this product to clean my eyeshadow applicators and other makeup tools.

Product Review: Zen Zest Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil has so many uses that one of them is keeping your skin from bacteria. This versatile oil has also been used for medical purposes which includes curing insect bites and other skin diseases.

To tell you the truth, I am a woman who has psoriasis. I have developed this because of too much stress everyday. Psoriasis is not developed because of bad hygiene or whatsoever, and there is also no cure for it. Psoriasis will come and go, even if the doctor will recommend you topical ointments. Those topical ointments will only heal psoriasis for a short time and before you know it, they're there again.

So I was browsing the web for remedies for psoriasis and one of them is Tea Tree Oil. Tea Tree Oil, as what was said on the internet resources, is used for treating psoriasis.

I can't say it helped. It didn't.

Anyway, let me tell you about Zen Zest tea Tree Oil. This is how the product looks like:


This is Zen Zest Tea Tree Oil, 15 mL. They don't have bigger or smaller sizes of this product.


Product Description: Warm and Spicy Tea Tree Oil is extracted from the leaves and twigs of the Australian Tea Tree. It has a proven history of over sixty years of safe usage. With a lot of properties, such as for massaging purposes, it absorbs oil, soothes and deep cleans your skin leaving it blemish free.


Direction: Apply directly on the desired skin. Can be use as massage oil. USE SPARINGLY.
Ingredients: Water, Denatured Ethyl Alcohol, Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Tea Tree Oil.


 First, this product is probably the CHEAPEST Tea Tree Oil in the market (only costs Php150). Other brands would have their tea tree oil priced from Php400 to Php700 which is a real pain-in-the-pocket for me. Since I realized that tea tree oil did not help in treating my psoriasis, I mixed tea tree oil with my facial moisturizer, alcohol, with my shampoo, conditioner, facial wash, and lotion. I did that because I'm after the anti-bacterial purposes of the product (and also not to waste it).

Second, the bottle is VERY STURDY. I have (accidentally) dropped this for a lot of times and it doesn't show any crack at all.

Third, since it's small, it could fit into any bags and pouches (if you want to bring it during vacation or whatsoever).

Now, ladies (and gents), if you want to buy tea tree oil, choose the one from Zen Zest and you will save a lot of money.
