One of the many dilemmas of Pinays is having a fair-looking body that matches their fair face. No worries, all women have this problem since we protect our face more often than our body. So the quest for even skin tone is one that many are surely familiar with. It’s a good thing we’re surrounded with products that cater to this specific need. Body soaps here and there are within our grasp. And I’m here to introduce you to one brand that promises a healthy fairness and they caught my attention. So much so that I used it immediately the moment I got it!

When I see papaya extract and Vitamin C on the packaging, I can’t help but take a second look. So I did when the Olay Natural White Body Bars landed on my doorstep today. Olay’s Natural White Body Bars intrigued me because of the claim that it helps whiten skin naturally. They released two body bars, one with papaya extracts and the other with vitamin C. And along with some of Olay’s skin care ingredients, I was more than convinced to try these soaps out.

From experience, using Papaya Extracts and Vitamin C has always helped my skin lighten. And not just the pasty-white fairness but rather one with a healthy glow to the skin. That’s what I love about fruit extracts, it gives real results plus added glow. And though I have not been a frequent user of Olay, having some of its key skin care ingredients sort of assures me that I’m giving my skin added boost.

Olay Natural White with Papaya Extracts



Unlike some papaya soaps I’ve tried in the past, this certain body bar differs in a way that my skin feels a little more supple and soft. Most run-off-the-mill papaya soaps are notorious in drying out skin that I would need to abuse my lotion afterwards. Here, however, I find that there’s a bounce on my skin and it feels smoother definitely. I don’t feel the need to rush applying lotion after bathing. I guess it has something to do with having Olay skin care ingredients in the mix. We all know how effective their skincare are.

Given that Papaya extracts are natural exfoliants, I notice that my skin feels incredibly smooth to touch. I was more convinced because my husband also took notice! 1 point for Olay, zero to the other brands I was using. Although I am at my fairest now (pregnancy and taking care of a newborn kind of took away my chance to go to the beach to get a good sunkissed tan) I look way too pasty! Friends usually associate my glow to being a new mom and finding true happiness in creating life, but seriously I think Olay Natural White with Papaya Extracts was the reason why my I look younger and brighter!

Olay Natural White with Vitamin C



I just love Vitamin C and I’m sure your skin will love it, too! During pregnancy, Vitamin C-based skin care was my salvation! It reduced the dull look my skin had. And I was sure glad that Olay Natural White offers the same for this certain body bar. Even as a wash-away product, you’ll feel it working. I notice a glow on my skin after just a few uses. The zesty yet subtle sent of it makes bathing a lot more luxurious. I just love the zesty feel of it that I do look forward bathing morning and night. Why? Because you’ll really see a difference! Skin is a lot clearer and it looks like it’s helping to lighten up my caesarean scar. Wow, right? 

What I love about Olay Natural White body bars
  • Contains natural ingredients that’s been proven to lighten skin – papain extracts and vitamin C
  • Gives skin natural-looking glow
  • Affordable
  • Available in different sizes (for trial and continued use)
  • Sold in almost all groceries and department store nationwide
  • It’s Olay – a brand trusted for it efficacy to boost skin’s natural beauty
Heed my advice, when looking for ways to brighten up your skin, make it look glowing and fair, look for products that have papain extracts and/or vitamin C. These two ingredients are sure fire way of reviving dull-looking skin. Sure glad I found it with Olay Natural White body bars.

"Oh! Oh! Honey got me hooked up on you!
.....And it's just like honey when your love comes over me...."

The Body Shop's new Honeymania Collection had me singing one of my favorite Mariah song, Honey. :)

BTW, Happy Valentine's Day!! :)

This V-Day, make sure that you treat yourself with some organically harvested Community Fair Trade honey from Ethiopian beekeepers. Proceeds from the purchases are used for them to send their children to school and pay for their basic needs like food, clothing and shelter. :) You're not only loving your body with the rich ingredients but you're always helping others enrich their lives as well! If that's not celebrating love, I don't know what. :)

I have several favorite bath and body products from The Body Shop but when the moment I got a whiff of the sweet floral scent of this collection, it has taken the top spot! :) TBS has taken this collection to a new level. Find out why this collection has taken over me!

SakuraBella was officially launched weeks ago and I was lucky enough to be among the guest of the said event. SM Makati Beauty Section became a springtime in Japan as its decorated with hundreds and thousands of Cherry Blossoms and many men and women walked around in Japanese-inspired fashion.

Sakurabella is a  bath and body products of the Watsons brand that boasts of a cherry blossom scent that is very much popular in our tropical shores. Now it's a lot more affordable for us to smell like springtime! :)

I am currently in love, addicted and totally into ONE Naturales. It is an all-organic products made by a Filipina, Charade Galang. Her pursuit to give Filipinas and ladies in the world a beauty and body products that is all natural, affordable and easily accessible to everyone.

ONE stands for Organic, Natural and Eco-friendly only uses natural ingredients sourced from our country. True to its name, even the packaging are environmentally safe recyclable materials such as papers and tins.

Product is quite reminiscent of the 1950's ala Stepford Wives. Everything is packaged so prettily and the products smelled so wonderful! I am crazy crazy over everthing I got. You could really feel the quality of ONE Naturales. It is one of the most amazing products I've tried in a long time.

ONE Naturales is L-O-V-E!

Let me share to you what I got.

ONE Naturales Hand and Body Lotion

Movie Star Skin is a sweet smelling lotion that is easily absorbed. No need for cologne when this is used. You'll be smelling like a Hollywood Star and have a gorgeous skin to boot.

ONE Nature
 Although I don't have a bath tub, I'm looking forward to using this when I'm staying at a hotel.

ONE Naturales Body Soap in Sweet Honey

The scent is quite unique for me but I heard that is a favorite already by many of those who worked on ONE Naturales.

ONE Naturales After Shower Skin Conditioner Bar in Nighty-Nite

One of the things I love about ONE Naturales are the new and unique products like the After Shower Body Bar.

ONE Naturales Lotion Massage Bar in Calming Bar

One of my favorite among my haul. This unique product is really really calming with the scent of lavender. Oh gosh, how can i explain how in love I am with this?

ONE Naturales Body Butter

This reminds me of Pana Cotta (my favorite dessert of all time) and smells like it, too. I just love lathering myself with this since the scent is really nice and its so easy to apply. I am just amazes with how the quality of this product.

ONE Naturales Body Scrub in Sweet Honey

Want a scrub that isn't too harsh on the skin? This is exactly what's gunna make your day. This scrub reminds me of a body scrub that I experienced in a hotel spa. You could really feel the richness of the product and how cleansed you are after. This made my top favorite scrub.

ONE Naturales SolidShampoo in Hair Biscuit
With every product, I become more and more attached to ONE Naturales. By now, you know that I lvoe everything but wait... let me share this sweet-smelling solid shampoo! It's my first time to ever use a solid shampoo and I thought I wouldn't like it. I love it! It lathers easily! It's like magic for me, I tell you! Now I don't have to worry about bringing liquid shampoo when I travel. How cool is that right?

ONE Naturales Solid Conditioner

This one is meant to be used after you've showered and about to start your beauty regimen. Its like a solid frizz serum but acts as conditioner as well. The scent reminds me of cotton candies. This one is quite easy to use. Just make sure you've toweled dry your hair, then run the bar along your hair.

ONE Naturales Lip Tune up

This is something that you have to give it a try to believe it. One of the tastiest lip balms ever.

I admitted it. I'm crazy over ONE Naturales. EVERYONE should have ONE Naturales in their vanities and bathrooms. I am so proud of this Pinay-made beauty and bath line.

Cheers to Charade for creating ONE Naturales.
One moment to enjoy, One life to live, One planet to protect.
 
much love,
Shen
