Review: Mustela 2-in-1 Hair and Body Wash & Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion

I received sample sachets of Mustela products: Mustela 2-in-1 Hair and Body Wash and Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion. Fortunately, I have a niece whom I would try it to. And I'm so excited to try it on her since we really want this product (but it's expensive) and we wouldn't want to buy something that's costly if it wouldn't justify its price.

•AVANTAGE•

Mustela 2-in-1 Hair and Body Wash is a tear-free and soap-free cleanser for both hair and body. It is specially formulated for the delicate skin of babies and children and does not sting the eyes. It contains Avocado Perseose (patented natural ingredient which strengthens the cutaneous barrier and preserves cell strength), Glycerin, and Coco Glucoside. It gently cleanses from birth on.

While Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion is designed for the daily care of baby's skin. It contains Jojoba oil, Vitamin E and F, Sweet Almond Oil, and Shea Butter. It's Paraben, Phthalate and Phenoyethynol-free! Both are formulated to minimize the risk of allergic reactions.

•PRIX•

Mustela 2-in-1 Hair and Body Wash, 200 ml       Php 520
Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion, 300 ml       Php 790


My sister has been using mild baby wash extracted from milk to bathe my niece. It's nice. It smells good and it feels smooth on her skin. So I would love to try Mustela on her and see the difference.


So let's get started! This is my niece Adah, my third nephew (when will I have my own? Lol!).

We bathe my niece during lunch time, when the temperature's on it's average. We used to heat up the water, but since it's summer and it's hot, we just let the water sit in the heat of the sun for about 5 minutes (so it wouldn't be so cold) before bathing my niece. 

Time to bath! This 2-in-1 Hair and Body Wash is foamy even in small drops. And it smells so good! It's easy to rinse, too, which is a plus for me since we wouldn't want to let my niece bath long. 



Isn't she so relaxed with this body wash? 



After a refreshing bath, we used the Hydra Bebe Body Lotion. The scent matches with the scent of the body wash. It smells so good that we can't wait to cuddle and play with her! It's light in texture which we love since it so hot and we wouldn't want her feeling so sticky.

Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion

♥ It smells good.
♥ It's light in texture and not sticky.
♥ It has vegetable oils and Vitamin E and F!
♥ It's Paraben, Phthalate and Phenoyethynol-free!

•LE CONTRE•

There's nothing to dislike about this product! 
Unless you are on tight budget. Although it's not so expensive, it still is expensive.
 But what's expensive if it's for your baby's benefit? 




•RECOMMANDATION•

I'm giving this product 5/5 rating. It's the perfect care for your little cuties, I swear! This gave me an idea of what to purchase when I have my own. Yay! ❤️ My baby would be a Mustela Baby!

Review: Asian Secrets Lulur Indonesian Whitening Body Scrub

One of the products I got from my April 2015 BDJ Box is this scrub from Asian Secrets. (I already have a tub of this and it's almost empty so I was happy to have 6 pouches of this. Yay! ❤️)

Asian Secrets Lulur Indonesian Whitening Body Scrub originated from Java, Indonesia, inspired by the ritual called lulur. This product promises to beautify, whiten and smoothen skin like how it's intended for the bride-to-be. But do we really need to get married just to have more beautiful, smoother, and whiter skin? Oh, no!! Thanks to this product, bride-to-be or not, we can be at our most beautiful, (or so it says). So let's try it and see!



•AVANTAGE•

As promised on the label, here are the benefits you'd probably love:

• The beads gently exfoliate the skin.
• It helps prevent skin pigmentation.
• It helps lighten dark areas like your elbows and knees.
• It has Green Tea and Vitamin E to nourish and keep it healthy.
• It moisturizes skin and leaves it with a light fragrant scent.



•MODE D'EMPLOI•

The direction says scrub over dry skin and then rinse. I tried it before on wet skin and it just slips through my skin.


 Since I've been using this since then, I tried this on my sister who haven't used this so to show results after 7 days of use. This is how it looks upon application:



•LE POUR•

Unlike other body scrubs I tried before, this one smells so good. It gives you that royal feel. ☺

Another thing I like about it, it doesn't feel like a sandpaper scratching your delicate skin or cotton cloth you can barely feel. It's just perfect, not too harsh and not to mild. ♥

After a few scrubs my sister's skin gets a little red. But as I said, it doesn't hurt like sandpaper. This redness just shows it really scrubs off dead cells. Here's how it looked:


Excuse me if you see the beads getting a little darker. It's just it doing it's magic. Lol.

I did this to her regularly for 7 days. And after each wash, you can see results.

On the first 3 days, results aren't totally visible, but you can feel the results. Her skin starts getting smoother than it was. Also, it just smells so good!

On the fourth and fifth day, her skin gets a little lighter (I say little since it doesn't really whiten that much), and constantly smoother.

And at the end of the 7th day, tada!



•LE CONTRE•

After having tried it, there isn't much to dislike about this. Except if you really like to get really whiter, this product is not for you. It helps lighten, yes. But the lightening effect is just so mild. It's just like your dead skin cells are removed and so your natural color shows.

In my case, after having used this for long, I never really get whiter. I'm morena and I love it. It just helped me not look Morena-ala-Libag. What more to ask?


•RECOMMANDATION•

That's it! I'm giving this product 4/5. Not that it has flaws, but because of it's super light whitening effect. But if asked to buy again, DEFINITELY! I'm not really into whitening, I'm into it's smoothing effect (plus the fragrance! ♥).

Dig in and share you thought! ♥
