Spotlight | Celeteque Radiance Body Cream.

If there's one skincare product that I can't live without, it's lotion. I'm a self-confessed lotion addict. I love 'em so much to the point that I have all sorts of brands and scents lined up in my dresser, ready for my disposal.

And so when I chanced upon the Celeteque Radiance Body Cream in the Sample Room inventory, I got a sample right away without even thinking twice. Especially after seeing that the sample you'll be getting is actually a full-sized product.

Celeteque Radiance Body Cream.

So here, my dear readers, is the 200 mL bottle of the Celeteque Radiance Body Cream. Actual retail price is Php 270, and they're available at most drugstores and supermarkets.

Multi-Bright Complex for fairer skin!

And as per product description, this product contains MultiBright Complex - 'a revolutionary fusion of seven plant extracts that reduces melanin to help achieve fairer and even-toned skin'. The seven plant extracts refer to the following: mallow, peppermint, cowslip, lady's mantle, fluellen, balm mint, and yarrow. I listed them down just in case any of you are allergic to the plants mentioned above. As for me, my sensitive skin had no allergic reactions to this product.

Comes in an easy-to-squeeze bottle.

I still can't attest to the whitening properties of this product, as I've been using this for barely a week. I'll keep you all posted for any significant changes in my skin tone. But for now, I'm really loving this product's moisturizing properties - it makes your skin smooth and supple, and gives it a healthy, radiant glow.

Squeeze it, baby!

For a body cream, this product's texture is actually very light and silky, and is easily absorbed by the skin. It's non-greasy, and doesn't feel icky even when you're wearing it on a hot and humid day. Plus points for the Radiance Body Cream's sun protection factor (SPF15).

Light and non-greasy. :)

This product is unscented (or at least that's what my olfactory nerves tell me) which is okay with me, though I must admit I prefer my lotions scented.

What I love:

- Leaves the skin smooth and supple.

- Makes the skin radiant and glowing.

- SPF 15.

- Texture is light and non-greasy.

- Easily absorbed by the skin.

- Hypoallergenic.

- Comes in a sleek, easy-to-squeeze bottle.

- Affordable price.

- Available at local drugstores and supermarkets.

What you might not like:

- None that I can think of. :)

From the looks of it, this product will easily make its way to my list of favorite lotions. How about you, what's your favorite lotion? :)

Spotlight | Cure Natural Aqua Gel.

All the rave and positive reviews I've read about Cure Natural Aqua Gel has made me really curious. I mean, what's so great about this product that makes it sell like hotcakes in Japan?

And so when Sample Room announced two weeks ago that they finally have stocks of Cure available, I glued myself in front of the laptop and took a shot at getting free product samples. Luckily, I was able to snag a trial pack along with samples of C-Lium Fibre, which made for my first-ever Sample Room haul.

Here's how the free sample (yes, they're free!) of Cure looks like.

The Cure. :)

It contains five 3-gram sachets good for five days, as per the Sample Room website. From my experience, though, one sachet can last up to two uses.

Cure sachets.

I'm glad that the leaflet has all the information you need about the product. I appreciate the fact that they're written in English. Not in Hiragana or Katakana, as I thought they would be.

A facial in a bottle! (Or a sachet, for that matter.)

Cure FAQs.

So what exactly is Cure?

It's an exfoliant that's made of 90% water (hydrogen water, to be exact).
Unlike most exfoliants, Cure doesn't contain beads or gritty particles which can leave the skin red and dry. Cure contains no preservatives, no coloring, no mineral oil, which makes it suitable even for the most sensitive skin.

Crystal clear.

Now here's how you use this product.

Remember, no rubbing or scrubbing! :)

And here's Cure in action.

Before Cure - dull skin, visible pores, tired face.

Those white particles are actually dead skin. And that's a lot of 'em coming from my face. My goodness!

Goodbye, dead skin!

The results? A brighter and cleaner face, with skin that's soft to touch! I fell in love with Cure at first try! This product sure does wonders for your skin! 

Don't mind the eyebags, haha!

I've been using Cure on my face and neck for almost two weeks now, and I'm very pleased with the results. Now I understand why the Japanese go gaga over this product - as in one bottle of Cure is sold every 12 seconds in Japan! It's crazy, yes, but now I know why! :)

My no-makeup, after-Cure face. :)

Count on me to go full-size once I'm done with the sachets. It's a bit expensive though, with a 250g bottle priced at Php 1500. But after seeing how great this product is and how a little amount goes a long way, I wouldn't mind spending a few extra bucks for something that works, and works wonders.

What I love:

- Gentle on the skin, safe even for those with sensitive skin.

- Does a great job of removing dead skin.

- Non-drying, non-irritating.

- Free from preservatives, mineral oil, and artificial coloring.

- Leaves the skin bright and clear, smooth and supple. 

- Just a little goes a long way.

What you might not like:

- It's a bit pricier than the common exfoliant, but you do get your money's worth with this product.

Sample Room, finally!

Over the weekend, I received my first-ever haul from Sample Room. If you're following me on Instagram and Twitter, then chances are, you've seen this photo on your timeline or my profile page.

Sample Room haul! My first ever! :)

I'm a late-bloomer to the Sample Room craze, I know. It's been all the rage for the past few months, and I'm joining the bandwagon just now. You see, my previous attempts at getting free samples were futile. (Yes, you heard me right. Free!) Samples run out very fast, and each time I try to grab one (or two) they're already out of stock! But luck was on my side this time, and I managed to snag these for my myself. Finally!

So what's inside my Sample Room haul?
First, there's Cure Natural Aqua Gel, which is said to be Japan's number one exfoliator. Seeing how "one bottle is sold every 12 seconds in Japan", then I guess this product must be really, really good. Sample size for this product is five sachets, for five days' use.

Next up is C-Lium Fibre in capsule form. After my Brand Ambassador stint with A-Life, I've gotten to know more about other Pascual Laboratories products, and C-Lium Fibre is one of them. I decided to give this product a try because I've heard good reviews about it, plus I have bathroom (and weight, lol) issues that I need to address. Haha! Sample size, by the way, is 60 capsules good for six days.

Of course, I'll be sharing my experience with these products here in my blog. That means more product reviews in the days to come. :)
