Shop for a Cause, why not? (Voucher Code Php200 off!)

When I do my grocery shopping, I pick a lot of UNILEVER items!  I mean can you tell me if you can find 1 home that does not have or own at least 1 Unilever made products?

That would be a challenge!  But for the brand I support, I am happy Unilever is active in GIVING BACK to the community.

AMW Bulletin: #TeenWeekPH

Let's go back to memory lane...it may not be a Throwback Thursday but today is officially the start of #TeenWeekPH so I'm definitely looking back to my wonderful teenage years.

AMW Reviews: Rexona Naturals Bio Protection

I was a "late" Rexona user because I've been loyal to my international branded deodorant known to be a "Secret" *laughs* After attending a Rexona Lighten Up Event last year, I was given the chance to try on their Rexona Skin Light series and I've finished up their stick deodorant in no time.  (You can read my review by smiling and clicking HERE)

Now, Rexona came up with something even better, the same quality that performs really well plus the added benefits of  MORE sunflower seed oil, which is a natural ingredient known to keep skin healthy and vibrant plus the added Vitamin E and Omega-6 Fatty Acids.

Rexona Naturals Bio Protection says ---

Discover Rexona Women Naturals Bio Protection, it combines all the best Rexona anti-perspirant, science and natural ingredients essential for healthy skin.  So you get day long protection that allows your skint o breathe. 

Net wt: 20g

AMW says ---
Pros

• scent is heavenly!  It smells really really good!
• comes in with a plastic protection

• has manufactured and expiration date included at the bottom 

• twist dial is easy to use
• the company who made this helps protect nature
• comes with natural ingredients which is better for the skin
• a tiny 20g tube lasts as the stick is quite solid
• does not leave a white mark on both underarms and your shirt
• no skin irritations or breakouts
• dries up pretty quickly, no more waiting time
• works both as anti-perspirant and deodorant!
• very inexpensive for a product that works
• very cute packaging and easy to tote along

Cons

• It would be wonderful if this comes in 40g just like the Skin Light
• The white protection cap is made of a thick plastic, though it is made with recyclable materials, you know how irresponsible most of us are in throwing these plastics properly.

Overall 

A great addiction to my underarm products addiction!  I've always been a stick deo user and this one definitely fits the bill!  I want something that works and yet, saves our mother nature!  Need I say more?


Tips

• if you don't perspire much, try to do 4-6 swipes on each underarm
• never share your anti-perspirant
• re-application may be needed if you're under extreme weather condition

Will I repurchase?
Yes!

Where to purchase and how much?
At leading groceries, department stores, drugstores for Php62.00 (less than $2.00)

For 20g, the amount of product can reach almost an inch!  Even a tiny product can last!  Well, not unless you are addicted to re-application (I hope not)! *hahaha*

Oh, before I end this post, I am very honored to be one of the bloggers to be a part of the Rexona Naturals Bloggers' Launch to learn about The First Live Garden on Facebook.  We were given art tools to draw on our "pots", trust me, I can be creative on nail art but not on pots!  But I hope this tiny artwork of mine creates a nice sunshine to all of you!

And here's my professionally looking plant on their Facebook Live Garden ready for you to take care off!  You can also add them up on Facebook!

Big companies are starting to take care of our natural environment.  Isn't it time for us to do our part?  

Have you tried this new Rexona Naturals Bio Protection?

AMW Reviews: Rexona Skin Light with Sunflower Oil

I've always been a SECRET deodorant user for my whole teenage years!  I have tried several brands but I always ended up going back to SECRET.  When I went to the Rexona event last May, I learned about the new Rexona Skin Light with Sunflower Oil which helps in lightening up the underarms.  I told myself I will try this out but I'll definitely have SECRET at the backside to help me out if something goes wrong.  Well, nothing went wrong!

Rexona Skin Light with Sunflower Oil says ---

• Reduce unpleasant smell underarm
• Smoothen skin and minimize pore
• Lighten & whiten your skin naturally
• Protect 24 hour

Ingredients

Cyclomethicone, Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex GLY, Stearyl Alcohol , C12-C15 Alkyl Benzoate, PPG-14 Butyl Ether, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Parfum, Dimethicone, Polyethylene, Helianthus Annuus, Steareth-100, BHT

AMW says ---

Pros

• the lovely scent stayed for the whole day
• no perspiration for the whole day, but of course, this depends on the work of each individual
• no darkening of underarms as compared to other deodorant
• inexpensive
• no allergies on my underarm area
• smells great
• the stick is not too hard nor soft
• one stick lasts more than a month for  daily use!
• packaging is great! Love the combination of white and purple
• I don't need to wait long before I can wear my top
• expiration date printed at the bottom
  

Cons

• well if you really have dark underarms, the result won't be as fast as 2 weeks as advertised (this is my opinion)
  

Overall

I am very picky with my deodorant.  I want both Anti-perspirant AND deodorant MINUS the darkening PLUS the wonderful scent. Since my last event report on the Rexona Lighten Up!, I've started using this and I chose the stick as I am always in a rush in the morning!  No time to raise my hands and wait for my deodorant to dry up.

I don't have dark underarms to start with so I cannot really tell about the "lightening" properties of this deodorant for people with dark underarms.  But I am happy to announce that there is a sligh lightening on my underarms!  It's not my imagination, I've raised my underarms many times to my husband and he said there is lightness, not much, but noticeable.  Keep in mind though that I've used this constantly for 5 months, and I only started to see the effect after 3 months!  So if you plan to use this, please be patient :)

I haven't bought any Secret deodorant now, enough said...

Tips

• always twist down the deodorant stick before closing the cap
• though instructions from Rexona says apply 4-6 swipes, I believe applying 4 swipes maximum is enough
• if allergies occurs, STOP using the product

Will I repurchase?

Yes!  I did, after receiving freebies from the Rexona Event, I repurchased and I'm on my 3rd Deodorant stick!

Where to purchase and how much?

All leading department stores and groceries for Php150.00 (approx $3.30) for 40g
