Finally back with another Korean skincare review with the BARULAB skincare products which I tried for 2 weeks. Before I get started with my review, let me share with you my current skin condition. I have an oily, acne prone and sensitive type of skin. My skin was already better until I started to get 2 cystic bumps by the last week of May. Currently, the pimps are already drying but it leaves a dark mark on my skin, so please don't mind those marks.

How to Use: Take appropriate amount of the product and mix with water to make foam. With abundant black bubble, clean your face by rolling and massaging. Clean up all the bubbles and residues with lukewarm water.

My Thoughts: Has a rich lather foam that deeply cleanses the skin. The foam feels light on the skin and I like the squeaky feels after washing the face. It thoroughly removes the makeup, impurities and dirt on the face.

How to Use:

My Thoughts: This mist is a little hydrating and moisturizing which is good for dry to normal skin. It made my skin soft and supple - ready for the next skincare or before applying makeup. I do have an oily skin so I prefer putting just a little bit of this on the dry areas of my skin.

My Thoughts: Very hydrating and moisturizing on the skin. It helps to calm the dry and troubled areas of the skin. I also applied this on my drying pimple and hives on the face and I love how it soothes the skin. I have an oily skin so I'd rather use this on the dry areas instead (not the whole face).

I'm finally back with reviewing another hair dye. It's been a year since I decided to have my hair dyed again. Sometimes, I miss having a dark black hair since it is so easier to maintain than having a colored one. I've spent a lot of money just to have a lighter hair that's why I keep on changing hair color for a year.
The last hair dye I used was the Beautylabo Olive Green and Silky Ash last February. It's already June and my hair faded into a yellow tone. Plus the dark roots are really annoying. I wasn't planning to dye my hair anytime soon (since most of us stays at home and nowhere to go) but I am so annoyed on how uneven and brassy my hair is so I decided to dye my hair again.

This is the Mise En Scene Hello Bubble Hair Dye Foam which I got from a shop in Shopee last April. I chose 8MG which is this Matt Gold since it has a light ash brown tone. I've been a fan of foam hair dye since 2011 since I find it very easy to use. It's as easy as shampooing your hair without the hassle of reaching every parts of the hair.
Product description: Provides vibrant foam color that doesn't damage the hair. It is ammonia free with sweet floral fragrance. It has a Secret Magic Ampoule that reduces damage to the hair. Also contains Raspberry (to heal damaged hair), Lavender & Rose Water (moisturizes the hair) and Jeju Rape Flower (protects the hair by forming a barrier). Got mine in 8MG (Matt Gold) which has a light brown blonde tone.    Includes:   Bleaching Agent 30g Oxidizing Agent 60g Secret Magic Ampoule 5g Perfect Serum Treatment 6ml Bottle with Pump Cape and Gloves
Instructions: 1. Wear the cape and put on the gloves 2. Pour the Solution #1 (Bleaching Agent) in the Bottle #2 (Oxidizing Agent) as well as the solution #3 (Secret Magic Ampoule)   3. Shake the bottle side to side

4. Pump 3-4 times to dispense contents onto your palms. 5. Apply foam on dry hair, from root to tip. Lather up the foam on hair and massage

6. Leave it for 20-30 minutes. 7. Wash off using a regular shampoo then use the Perfect Serum Treatment after

Result:

Pros: - Easy to apply - Wide range of shades - The dye that was transferred to my neck/hands/arms can easily be rinsed off
Cons: - 1 box isn't enough for my bra length hair I honestly love how it darken my hair a little bit - removing it's brasiness. Since I have a lighter hair now (yellow tone), the desired color I wanted was achieved. It gave a light brown with ash tone which I really like. I find that Hello Bubble Hair Dye very easy to use just like the other foam hair dye I've tried before although I noticed that it isn't that foamy compared to other foam dyes. I didn't anticipated that 1 box wouldn't be enough for my whole hair (bra length) so I think I didn't colored some parts of the hair. Also, I j find the plastic cape included a little hassle to use since it stains my arms more so I recommend not using it instead to avoid contact on the arms/skin. I recommend using a dark shirt too (although stains are easily removed). Overall, I am satisfied with this dye although with the current length I have, I'd rather choose other affordable hair dyes since I needed 2 boxes. (This costs Php550/box).
P.S. It easily fades after 2 weeks with everyday washing.

Honestly, I didn't paid much attention to my underarms until a few years ago. I don't normally sweat too much and I have little hairs on my armpits. My underarms isn't that white (or flawless) but I can confidently wear tank tops or sleeveless. Lately, due the weather in the Philippines, my armpits sweat A LOT because of the heat and the hot weather. Although there are a lot of factors into leading to dark under arms such as shaving, dead skin build up, hyper pigmentation and infections, still, too much sweating may lead to having dark underarms!!! Not only that, it can also cause bad body odors! Yikes!

The current state of my armpits aren't that dark but nor that white. I also noticed that it is starting to get a little darker that's why I started to use whitening deodorant for a few years now. Been using different whitening deo to control the sweat and odor plus to maintain a whiter underarms.
Today, let me share with you what I've been using for a year to maintain a whiter underarm. This is the Belo Underarm Whitening Cream and the Belo Intense White Anti-Perspirant Deodorant (Aerosol & Roll On) for almost 2 WEEKS! Before I share my review, let's talk about each of the products first.
This is the BELO UNDERARM WHITENING CREAM which is a lightweight and non-sticky underarm NIGHT cream that targets the dark spots on the skin. It has Alpha Arbutin and Hydroxyphenoxy Proponic Acid that effectively lightens the skin. for that softer and smoother #IntenseWhite #BelofiedUnderams! It also prevents the redness on the skin. Hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested.

It comes in a 40g orange tube and priced for Php350 (Get yours for FREE HERE!)

How to Use: (Every Night) Get a pea-sized amount and apply it on the underams. This can also be used on the elbow, areolas, thighs and knees.

Check out my Youtube channel for the video review:

I've been using the Belo Underarm Whitening Cream for a year already and I can say that I've been maintaining a lighter underarms now. It also does a BIG HELP to lessen the sweaty under ams thus less body odor. The cream feels very light on the skin and truly, non-sticky. Although you have to wait for it to dry on the skin. I love how it just sits there at night, making my skin whiter and keeping it sweat free!
With all the hot and humid weather, our armpits sweats A LOT especially during the day (trapped sweat = may make the skin darker plus body odor!) that's why we NEED the Belo Underarm Whitening Cream to help keep the underarms lighter and fresh! It is BEST used together with the Belo Intense White Deodorant Aerosol and Roll On for FULL effect!
