WTF is Astaxanthin? (Benefits, Side Effects, Dangers) and is it Overrated?

REVIEW: Watsons Nutrabliss Green Morning Smoothie
I am not ashamed to admit this but I “hate” eating vegetables. Can I blame my parents for not training me to love the taste? We eat food for sustenance, but recent times suggests we dine for our enjoyment as well. It takes mental conditioning and effort for me to partake in eating my veggies. I forcibly chew each bite to get that micro nutrients and fiber in my body. How about you? One fine day at Watsons (it’s always a fine day there IMO) when I needed to buy my anthistamines, I spotted this green box near the cash register. I took a closer look at the label and saw Green Morning Smoothie…
HAPPY DISCOVERY! Lanocreme Placenta Face Cream with Lanolin Review
Sometimes there are things I don’t plan on writing about but I do. One good example is today’s product review on Lanocreme Placenta Face Cream with Lanolin (15USD or 450php). This was given to me as a gift from my good friend Noelle, together with Manuka Honey and Lucas Pawpaw. Both latter products are more popular than Lanocreme. What? How much? Where to buy? All Things New Zealand (@Newzealandgoods_ph on Instagram) One fine day when my The Ordinary Retinol smelled foul (I forgot it’s beyond 6 months already) and I was desperate to slather something on my face. I decided to grab the tub of Lanocreme Placenta Face Cream and the rest is history. Let’s begin with…

I’m always on the look out for that “next-big-thing” in anti-aging. So immediately said yes when I received an invitation for the launch of Biotulin, dubbed as an Organic Botox in a Bottle.

Flash Review: RYX Skincerity Foam Cleanser and Serum | Effective ba talaga?
I bought this as a set (RYX Skincerity Ultra Hydrating Foaming Cleanser and Serum) kasi ang daming nice reviews. I was even planning to feature this on my blog and YT B U T BUT Sadly it didn’t work so well on my skin. It gave me these weird bumps on my upper lip and the “glass skin” effect that everyone is raving about is just temporary. Because the serum leaves this glue like finish on your face making it appear glossy. It goes away after a few hours. The facial wash smells strongly of hydrogen peroxide (I know so because I use this to make my DIY bleach) but to be…
REVIEW: Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++
Hi guys! Today we’ll be reviewing Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++. I COULD NEVER GET ENOUGH OF SUNSCREENS. Heck I’ll keep on trying new ones in search of the perfect sun protection for every occasion. Why so? UV rays and the sun is one of the number 1 cause of early signs of skin aging and skin damage.

Before we discuss the sunscreen let’s recap on the basics. If you’re new to sun protection, the SPF number and all the PA pluses…
