See My Toiletries! ( A Review)

From skin care, I am now making a review on products I use in the bathroom. I have a fetish for toiletries, if I may say. LOL!

Disclaimer:  Product effectiveness varies on different skin and hair types. Everything written here is merely based on my personal experience.

Note: This photo was taken a few months ago. At this time, my bathroom does not show some of the products shown. But I still want to make a review on each of these.

 

1. pH Care – I have used different brands of feminine wash but only pH Care met my standard (choosy si flower! LOL!). Recently, I bought their minis. Four variants/scents of 30ml in a box. Don’t ask the price please. I forgot. But then, since I am now transitioning to organic products, I might try Human Heart Nature Feminine Wash after I’m done with my last 2 bottles of pH Care mini.

2. Asian Secrets Lulur – my wonder body scrub. I love its mild scrubbing effect and nice scent. This is used for dry scrubbing, meaning you have to scrub your skin with ASL before you take a bath. And when I rinse it, I feel how soft and smooth my skin turns.

3. Olay Total Effects Facial Foam – This facial foam is gentle for me and smoothens my skin after every wash. I use Olay Toner and OTE cream afterwards and my skin just feels so perfect. Note: I don’t have flawless skin. The truth is, I have a lot of facial skin problems but when you find a product which suits you, you just feel… flawless.

4. Lauat Shampoo (not active in my bathroom) – I tried to use this shampoo to combat my hair fall. This shampoo is actually a treatment for hair fall. I just didn’t find anything special with it so I didn’t dare buying another one.

5. Clear Shampoo (not active in my bathroom) – I used to have a stock of Clear or Head and Shoulders in my bathroom in case of emergency. Which means, dandruff. I say both of them are effective against flakes/dandruff. But since, again, I am now transitioning to organic products, this shampoo won’t be found in my toiletries collection anymore.

6. Olay Body Wash (Vanilla Indulgence) – I love everything Olay. I love the vanilla scent. Oh so yummy! And it is very soft for my skin ( same with the Shea Butter variant). But it still has the feeling of not rinsed well after bath. Well, moisturizing soaps/body wash always give that feeling.

7. Watsons’ Strawberry Yogurt Shampoo – I bought this shampoo for two reasons. First, at the time I was eyeing this, it was in Buy 1 Get 1 promo. Second, I have read raves about its sweet scent. True enough, the strawberry scent is so addicting but it does not do justice on its effect. My hair feels brittle when I use this shampoo so I always have to offset it with a good conditioner. I gave one bottle to my mom and she loved it. The other one stayed in my bathroom and being used once in a while.

8. A Bonne Milk Salt – This is perfect for scrubbing. Not used for dry scrubbing though. You have to apply it on your wet skin then happy scrubbing! Most of the time, I mix it with Asian Secrets Lulur since ASL is mild. There are times that when I scrub using A Bonne milk salt alone, I get some small scratches. For me, it works well with ASL because their mixture gives me a creamy scrubbing yet I’d still feel the beads of the salt.

9. Listerine – Let me just include this since it’s part of the photo (salingpusa! LOL!). I use Listerine as my mouthwash for fresher breath and to fight gingivitis. But I learned from a friend that OraCare is much better since it is water-based unlike Listerine which is alcohol-based. How true is that?

 

For my hair conditioner, nothing beats Human Heart Nature Moisturizing Conditioner in Mandarin Scent. It has avocado and seaweed as its organic ingredients. This is the only hair conditioner that I don’t feel guilty leaving on my hair for a few minutes. It makes my hair soft and shiny with every use. Really love it. And the scent! I am now on my 4th biggest bottle and will hoard some more.

Lastly, I use Opal for hair treatment. I had two tubes because they were on BOGO when I got them. The orange variant smells like bouquet so I didn’t mind getting another one. The pink one has mild scent and I like it. Opal is a 1-minute hair treatment which should be used twice a week to repair damaged hair and strengthen it. Opal also makes my hair smooth and soft.

My bathroom now has new different products but that will be another story.
