How’s Your Heart Lately?
I moved to a new home! For the latest reviews, features, and more. Visit my new Health, Fitness, Beauty, and Lifestyle Blog: The Macho Mom
Enough with the mumbo jumbo of press releases and product reviews. As much as I enjoy attending and having these blog perks I kinda miss my freedom of expression. I hope you don’t mind if I shit my thoughts for a while.
The past few days if you have been following my twitter or instagram I’ve been posting hints of loneliness in my posts. Bad for my kikay-giddy image? I guess. I’m not sure. Maybe brands would appreciate the fact that I’m a real person, flawed and unperfect. We can’t be cheery all the time can we? Jaded.
I got this coined term from Liz (projectvanity. com) where some “famed” bloggers would be so clouded and overwhelmed with all the perks that thyry actually forget why they’re doing this in the first place. To share what we love and know to readers or we can also rant about what we don’t like so much so you can be aware.
In terms of my personal life, pardon if I vent but it is indeed a challenge to extinguish demons I create in my mind. I get paranoid sometimes and think that people, even those I love, would do things that would hurt me like betrayal and abandonment. I wonder if anyone could relate to this. Trauma from the past maybe? To those who has been following this blog, you know my story of how my husband left me and my son alone around 3 years ago.
Should we always blame the past? If we think logically we can all agree that once we forgive and learn, we can get on and move forward with our lives ; learning to love again, learning to trust again. It’s only and always fear that is holding us back from opening ourselves again to others. This is not just in romantic relationships mind you, it can also be applied to friendships. I need to open my heart to be able to finally fully express myself.
I need to focus on what’s real and what is.
How’s your heart lately?

Hello ~ for those who would try cosmo , wag na . LOL
i take 2 bottles of it with grape seed tablet , walang effect sakin and it made me sick , wala akong gana kumain , feeling ko lagi ako inaantok and the worst is the stomach pain .
Kaycee Enerva
Hello, everyone!
I haven't tried taking any whitening supplement yet, but allow mo to share some tips lang kasi it worked with my friend.
Kung medyo brownish yung skin mo, you need to take Cosmo White along with other required supplements for 6 months or more.
If you have a fair skin, you need to take Cosmo White along with other required supplements for 3 months or more.
Kaycee Enerva
Oh no, i should've read thisearlier. SnowCaps talaga ung tinetake ko, nkaka2boxes pa lang ako (1 month) then nung paubos na lhat ng pinuntahan ko wala ng stock ng SnowCaps so i bought Cosmo Skin. Sana mag work sya sa kin kasi sayang naman kung hndi. Naimpress ako sa SnowCaps kasi naglight talaga ung skin ko kahit na 1 month pa lang ako gumagamit.
Kaycee Enerva
HI! Ask ko lang po kung pwede ba pag sabayin yung Snowcap at KB gluta? may friend po kase ako, sabi nya pag mas madaming iinumin na gluta mas makakaputi. eh i have both Snow cap and KB. Now ang balak ko po sana 1 capsule of Snowcap, 1 capsule of KB and 1 capsule nung Vit. C ng KB. ok lang po ba yun? please help.
Kaycee Enerva
Hi! Have you tried glutafit by JC Premiere? The only glutathione that promotes weight loss aside from normal effects of any gluta.. It has low dosage though. Only 250mg each capsule. I first saw the glow on my face for the first few weeks of using it. Hope u try it and see. Thanks! Power! ^_^
Kaycee Enerva
Ok lang yang combo na yan. Pero wag mo ng dagdagan ha kawawa liver natin
Kaycee Enerva
not a fan of cosmo skin napimples pa ko
Kaycee Enerva
ok lang 100mg sis,. magkaka diarrhea ka if more than 1000mg
Kaycee Enerva
Nice 🙂

Hello miss kat do kojic soaps really "whiten" your skin as people claim or just give it a glowing look? And if it does, then do you recommend this or kojie sans? I want to tweak my skin to two or maybe three shades lighter and im wondering if kojic soaps alone can help me achieve this? And if so, then how many weeks or months will i notice change? I am a guy by the way 😀
Kaycee Enerva
Uhmm had a problem with this bar, I had rashes after trying & it stayed on half of my face for a week. How I'd known that it's because of the bar? The stubborness in me gave way & found myself using this bar again, and again rashed started to form. So maybe it depends if u have a sensitive skin like me or not, maybe hiyangan lang din
Kaycee Enerva
Kapag po ba gumamit nito, pwedeng mag eskinol after? Baka po kasi makasunog ng skin pag ganun. Thanks 🙂
Kaycee Enerva
No sis just use a moisturizer afterwards
Kaycee Enerva
Yup it does pero kojic is too harsh. If you want try taking glutathione pills if you really want to whiten your skin.
My boyfriend took vitapack megawhite, search for his before and after pics in this blog 🙂
Cheers!
cheska

Hi sis, which one do you prefer, kojic sans or belo? Have you tried royale gluta soap? I tried kojic sans kaya lang tagal ng effect. I tried royale gluta soap, mas effective sya un nga lng a bit pricey and mabilis din matunaw. That is why I'm looking for a cheaper but effective whitening soap..
shami
After eskinol? I'll use a moisturizer? 🙂
nikki
hi miss kat 🙂
ask ko lang po kung ok na gumamit nito while using garnier lightning facial wash & laneige toner ? pati ilang days po bago makita yung result ?? Im only 18…
pls. reply po 🙂 thanks
kikaysikat
Nope. soap lang talaga. See results in 7 days 🙂
kikaysikat
Wag ka na mag eskinol 🙂
Japs Donato
How much is this soap ? 🙂
kikaysikat
I think it's around 70php per bar
shami
Ok sis 🙂 have been using eskinol. Stop ko na muna. 🙂 I'll see the results after this sem break 🙂 thank you ^_^
mark
Php. 59 sa 7 eleven.. ^^
mark
nakakatanggal din po ba ito ng pimple marks? suggest nman po kau..^^ salamat
kikaysikat
For super dark marks no, I suggest using a stronger exfoliant like maxipeel solution (use with caution!)

I'd actually like to beg to differ from everyone's posts. As we all know, certain products may work on certain people. And for some, don't. I'd like to point out that this has in fact, worked for me. Im 18 and i've taken cosmo skin along with cosmo grapeseed extract (the one that comes in cosmo savers pack) for 6 months. It really just takes a lot of patience to see the results. 2-3 months into religiously taking the pills (1 cap/cosmo skin and 2 caps/grapeseed daily), i've been getting alot of reactions and compliments from friends and relatives. I have as well noticed changes in my skin as well as my skin seems noticeably alot lighter than of my friends when taking pictures etc. It faded my acne and pimple marks and most of all, it whitened me 2 to 3 shades lighter than my actual skin tone. I was light brown fair-ish before. I guess the grapeseed extract did help to give me that rosy white glow around my cheek area. The downside to these products is that it made me feel nauseous and vomit after taking my last pill for the night before going to bed. However this was not the reason why I had to stop taking the pills. It was too expensive for maintance. 2000 php + per pack. My word of advise is that, just because it didnt work for others, doesnt mean it wont work for you and vice versa. And for anyone who is just starting their journey…. Patience is virtue. 🙂

Hello, I was actually considering taking this product since this is one of the few brands that sell to the United States. Question though what factors are there to consider to making this product effective to whiten skin? Is it like the type of foods or is exercising one of the factors? I am a male that weighs 120 pounds if any of these are important factors. I also have a pretty medium brown olive skin tone.

The amount of ALA in this made me so acidic it almost burnt a hole through my stomach. LITERALLY! ):
I've tried this for a little under a month kasi it's after summer so I wanted to get my color back and despite my healthy diet, I got stomach ulcers. My doctor asked me if may tine-take ba daw akong supplements other than my vitamins (Stresstabs), I told him I was taking glutathione. He told me na most daw ng gluta supplements is may ALA and yun daw ang nagcause ng acidity. He didn't tell me to stop taking gluta but to just avoid the ones with ALA.
I am temporarily taking omeprazole (for my ulcer) and avoiding Cosmo FOREVER!!! ))))):
It may be just an isolated incident on my part but this is just a heads up for people who have sensitive stomachs or madalas ma-stress kasi kahit papano nakakaaffect din ang stress sa digestion natin. And stress is, more or less, why some people take glutathione aside from attempting to have lighter skin.
Just be careful po sa mga sinusubukan natin, peps and do a little research first before being too adventurous 😉
That's why product reviews like these are godsent.
More power to you, Ms. Kaycee!

Thanks Michiyo, I thought ako lang nakaexperience ng super burning sensation.
