Kojie San Kojic Acid Soap Review

I posted about Kojie San Lightening Range last month and I got a few more queries on how "effective" the product is.  So for the love of AMW readers, I gave the No. 1 Kojic Acid Soap a try for almost a month and I'm ready to share my experience.

 

It was a timing when I recently had allergies on my arm and I was left with dark spots that doesn't seem to go away (as of speaking, it has already been there for 1 month and I haven't used any medication)!  It was embarrassing on my part since 90% of my job, I get to meet with people.  Sadly, most of the time, I tend to see their eyes wander on my arm and probably wonder if what I have on my arm is infectious or not.  So,  I always choose to wear long-sleeved tops or dresses just to "cover up".  Unfortunately, the weather gets hotter by the day and wearing long-sleeved outfit isn't practical anymore.  I knew I had to do something!

It was great timing that a lot of my readers emailed me and asked about Kojie San Kojic Acid Soap.  I knew it will be difficult for me to share how "it can effectively whiten my skin" since my skin is quite fair to begin with!  So what I did was, I used the soap like regular soap whenever I shower and take a bit more time to leave the product on my dark spots caused by food allergies.  (Note:  If you have skin allergies, please do a patch test first!) 

Bridal Beauty Lab with Thai artist Nongchat

As a makeup artist who actively does makeup at the same time teach makeup, I will NEVER call myself an "expert" in this field because there will always be room for improvement and learning.  As I would always say: "Don't Stop Learning!"

Trends can change so fast nowadays and in order to keep up, we, as professional makeup artists needs to be well-versed in various makeup styles.  And how to hone that skill?  By joining workshops and seminars by various makeup artists you look up to!

Lucky us Filipinos, Top Thai Professional Makeup Artist Nongchat will be here in Manila this July and in collaboration with Bohktoh x Nippon x Beauty Lab, for a full day event!

Weekend Food Trip at: Wooden Spoon Rockwell Powerplant Mall

Tucked inside the posh Rockwell mall is a Filipino "Comfort Food" restaurant called Wooden Spoon by Sandy Daza.  I grew up watching the "Dazas" on TV learning recipes after recipes.  I always tell myself: "They look great on TV but I bet they don't taste as good in person!"

When the family and I had were finally at the mall and decided to grab dinner there, it was perfect timing for me to see if it is worth the visit!

Lechon Kawali

Php265.00

This is every Filipino's favorite.  I agree, they use the leanest pork belly and simmered it until very tender before deep-fried.  That explains the crunchy texture on the outside and juicy soft pork on the inside!   This comes with 3 different dipping and I love them all!

 Pan Grilled Tuna Belly

Php310.00

I've always been a fan of Tuna Belly from Gery's, but this is definitely a-must-try dish at Wooden Spoon.  Why?  Well, the tuna belly here is juicy and grilled in perfection!  With kamatis itlog na maalat, crunchy green magoes and bagoong, this reminds me so much of HOME.

Unbox: Asus Zenfone2 Laser 5.5S

I have been using my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 5.0 for quite some time and I'm very happy with its' performance!  I heavily rely on it for Social Media postings, checking of emails and Youtube for Kyle Nash!  I know I said I'm 100% happy, it doesn't hurt if the same Zenfone 2 Laser phone comes in bigger screen!

Unboxing, my newest Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5S!

Zefone 2 Laser 5.5S looks similar to my Zenfone 2 Laser 5.0 particularly because I got both units on same Gold shade!
