A bonne Spa Milk Salt Review

I never been so conscious with my skin before until I touched my classmates hands and it feels so smooth, just like baby's skin. I feel so insecure back then because I admit that my skin is really rough and dry. So when I came back home from school, I immediately asked Google on how to have smooth skin and everyone's answer is a regular exfoliation. I also found out that exfoliation has a huge contribution in achieving young-looking skin so this must be a part of our regular beauty regimen. Right after then, I am in a search for body scrub and I came up with this A bonne Spa Milk Salt.

I've been using this product for months now and I guess this is the right time to make a review and put an end to those arguments whether this product is effective or not. But before I put this review into start, I want to make things clear that all informations stated below is based on my own experiences. So this might vary into each individual because we all have are own preferences and likings.

A BONNÉ Spa Milk Salt 
Made in Thailand


The product claims that it is a skin whitening and slimming product with Milk Formula and natural spa salt benefits. It provides nourishment to your skin with Pure Milk, Dermawhite and Allantoin. It removes dirt deposit and dead skin cells from your body, giving you a new and radiant skin.

Is it really effective just like what it claims? Let's see =)


♥ PRICE ♥
This one is really affordable. It only costs 65php for a net content of 350g (around 1.46$) 

♥ PACKAGING ♥
Let us admit that sometimes, we rely on the packaging of the product before we purchase it. That just happens to me when I saw this salt scrub. The packaging is so cute and looks very interesting! It came up with different bottles but it is also available in sachet. I recommend you to buy the sachet one because it is cheaper.

♥ SMELL ♥
The smell is one of the reason why I fell in love with this product. It smells like milk, the one that I am drinking back when I was a kid. However, the smell doesn't stay long on your skin.

♥ TEXTURE & FEEL ON THE SKIN ♥
This scrub is kind of sharp. It irritated my skin at first application, so instead of rubbing it, I just let the grains to melt on my skin. But as time passed by, you will get over with it. Just avoid putting some of this product on cuts or wounds or it will stings and the pain is intolerable. 

♥ NUMBER OF USES ♥
I am exfoliating my skin thrice a week and the whole sachet lasted for a month.

♥ AVAILABILITY ♥
Even this product is from Thailand, it is scattered here all over the Philippines. It is available in any Watson store, Department Store and even in local supermarkets.

♥ CONCLUSION ♥
I like this body scrub really much, it is really great in exfoliating your skin. You can feel your skin's softness and smoothness after shower. However I didn't notice any whitening and slimming effect. The introduction of the product behind is so exaggerated. I don't even know where they got that slimming idea. However, I still don't think that it is a bad thing since no other scrubs can perform whitening effects on your skin either.. oh well! Plus it is cheap people!! 

PROS:

Very affordable
Available even in local stores
It has a milky scent
You can feel the instant smoothness and softness of your skin after shower

CONS:

 Stings in wounds or cuts
 The scrub is kind of sharp and hurts skin in first application
 Doesn't whitens skin
 No slimming effect

♥ RECOMMENDATION ♥
I recommend this product to people who are after for a good exfoliation. But if you're looking for a product that will whitens your skin, this product is not for you.


I rate this product 4/5 ♥♥♥♥

Ulzzang Make Up Tutorial Series: Natural Ulzzang Eye Make Up

Hello everyone!~ As I've said earlier on my last post, I am now working with my next make up tutorial which is the Natural Ulzzang Eye Make Up. This eye make up is suitable for all girls that is on a rush since this only took me less than 5 minutes to make. And also, if you don't want to have exaggerated eye make up like some ulzzang do, this is for you!~



1. Put a matte dark brown eyeshadow on your crease. This will add dimension to your eye and make an illusion of deeper crease. As you can see, I kind of overdid this part on the first picture, but don't worry, just blend it with your finger or with a blending brush. See? You should end up like the second picture.

2. To give your lids an emphasis put white eyeshadow on it.. It will brighten up your eyes and will help in awakening sleepy eyes. Remember to use matte eyeshadows. As possible, let's avoid using those shimmery ones because we are aiming for a natural look, more like no make makeup look.


3. Draw a thin line very close to your upper lash line to make an illusion of thicker lashes and lively eyes. Extend the line upward. Not so upward, we don't want to end up with a cat eye. This extended line will make your eyes longer and bigger.

TIP: 

To avoid ending up with cat eyes, extend the line with a curve instead of extending it with a very straight line.
It is better to use a pencil eyeliner because it creates more subtle lines than any other eyeliners.

4. Starting from your lower lash line, draw thin line and connect it on the line that you drew just awhile ago. This will create a V line! Laaahh! This is so hard to explain. Just look at the picture ^^ The image tells it all!~

5. Create some aegyo sal! Just squint your eyes and put a white eye shadow on the puff area.


6. Finally, to finish off this sweet eye make up, curl your lashes and put mascara for dramatic lashes!! <3
 

BEFORE AND AFTER

As you can see, nothing really changed that much. We only want it to look natural. Do you notice how lively and awake your eye is on the second picture compared to the first? =) I am wearing this look except the eyeliner whenever I am going out because I am really a fan of natural look.
