I've been a fan of Korean skin care products for quite some time now. I simply love how gentle and natural-looking they are on my skin.

Talking about my preferences, I would usually go for a BB cream or foundation with:

On its packaging, it also says:

"Specialized 3-in-1 BB Cream with perfect coverage UV Blocking, Whitening & Wrinkle Care cosmetic - Skin Safety Tested

"MISSHA M Perfect Cover B.B Cream offers a novel skincare concept with B.B cream, which lightens skin tone by healing visible wrinkles and blemishes with excellent skin-cover ability, and prevents skin aging through effective whitening and anti-wrinkle properties."



Packaging and application of MISSHA Perfect Cover BB Cream

The packaging looks really elegant to me.

It comes with a pump which I like because it's easy to control the amount of product to dispense.

MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream after blending

On the tube itself, you can find the:

• Product claims
• SPF number (SPF42 / PA+++)
• Shade (No.21, Light Beige - for me)
• Amount of the product (50ml)
• Manufacturer (ABLE C&C Co., Ltd.)
• Website (www.missha.net)

On the box, you can find the:

• Expiration date
• SPF number (SPF42 / PA+++)
• Shade (No.21, Light Beige)
• Claims
• Directions
• Caution
• Manufacturer (ABLE C&C Co., Ltd.)
• Website (www.missha.net)

What I like about MISSHA Perfect Cover BB Cream?

• It has UV protection so I can skip my sun screen. I can go straight to this which saves a bit of my time.
• It's light-weight. 
• It's easy to apply and blend. I only use my fingers to blend this on my skin and it works just fine.
• Shade No.21 (light beige) blends with my skin tone pretty well. 
• It's natural-looking. It's like "skin but better."
• Nice scent
• Elegant-looking tube
• It comes with a pump which for me is more hygienic and economical.
• One layer of MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream is enough if your goal is just to achieve a "skin-but-better" finish. But of course you can build it up for a better coverage without looking heavy or caky at all.
• It can cover minor imperfections like redness and blemishes.
• It's hydrating.
• It has really good oil control! It would last for a good 5 hours without me even blotting or retouching! For someone with really oily skin, that's amazing!
• I reapplied a bit of powder at my 6th hour and it still looked great! Please see wear test photos below.
• It's like skin care product + makeup in one tube.

What I dislike about MISSHA Perfect Cover BB Cream?

• The expiration date is not printed on the tube, only on the box so make sure you keep the box or just note it on the tube so you know when to declutter.
• MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream got only two shades: No.21 for light beige and No.23 for natural beige.  
• It can only partially cover dark pimple or acne scars.
• Comparing it with other BB creams in the market, I find it a bit more expensive. If you'll buy MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream directly from its website, it will cost you $22 or over P1000. But you can buy it from Authentic Korean online stores like Althea Korea and from some local retailers here for a much cheaper price, around P550 to P600. Just be sure it is authentic!
• I am not a fan of dewy finish since I have really oily skin. So I usually top this off with my favorite talc-free powder at the moment from the brand Human Nature. I'll review this too, so stay tuned for that!

You've probably clicked this article because you're looking for an effective all-natural deodorant paste.

Or maybe you want to know my honest thoughts about Black Chicken Remedies' Axilla Natural Deodorant Paste.

Whatever your reasons are, I don't want to keep you waiting so let's get started with the review. Shall we?

Axilla Deodorant Paste claims to be 100% natural and is made in Australia.

Axilla Deodorant Paste is just one of the many products of Black Chicken Remedies. 

What Axilla Natural Deodorant Paste claims?

The answer is YES. Though for an average earner like myself, I think I would alternate it with another natural deodorant that I've recently found.  It's way cheaper than this. But is it also worth it? Let's find out on my next blog! Stay tuned! 

In my previous post, I reviewed another highly raved about Glutathione supplement in the Philippines - Luxcent Luminous Caps L-Glutathione.

Caution

If you are pregnant, a nursing mother, under 18, or if you have any known medical conditions, you should consult with a physician before taking Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000 Reduced L-Glutathione Complex.


How to make sure it is Authentic Glutathione?

1. Do the iodine test. On a half-filled glass of water, put two to three drops of Betadine then add the Glutathione powder from one capsule. Stir the mixture. If the mixture stays clear, it's authentic. If the mixture becomes cloudy, it is fake.
2. Authentic Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000 Reduced L-Glutathione Complex just like any other Glutathione supplements smells like rotten egg.

Before and After Pictures: One Month after Taking Relumins Gluta 1000

Now here comes the most exciting part, which I know most of you have been wanting to know.

I used Fujifilm Xa3 to take these pictures, with the same settings, background and lighting.

I just don't know why the background looks darker in the second picture.

I'm no expert in photography but I swear these pictures are raw.

I really like how Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000 Reduced L-Glutathione Complex made my skin glow.

Is Relumins Gluta 1000 FDA-Approved?

Aside from the before-and-after pictures, I am sure most of you would like to know if Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000 Reduced L-Glutathione Complex is FDA-approved.

The answer is NO.

Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000 Reduced L-Glutathione Complex isn't FDA-approved.

In FDA Advisory No. 2017-120, FDA advised the public against the purchase and consumption of unregistered food products and food supplements which include Relumins Advance Nutrition Gluta 1000 Reduced L-Glutathione Complex.

Click here to view FDA's advisory.

FDA Advisory No. 2017-120

1. Effective for skin whitening. I noticed skin whitening effect in just two days.
2. It evened out my skin tone.
3. It improved the overall condition of my skin. My skin became less oily. It minimized the appearance of my pores.
4. Packaging looks better than Luxcent and is very informative.

What I dislike about Relumins Gluta 1000

1. Relumins isn't FDA-approved.
2. I had two cystic pimples in my lower left cheek while I was taking this. I am not sure though if it's caused by Relumins Gluta because I was having my menstrual period then. But from experience, I seldom get cystic pimples when I am on my period, only tiny pimples. But they're gone now. Thanks to Human Nature's Acne Defense Solution Gel. I will review it soon, stay tuned!
3. I experienced heart burns especially when I took this at night. However, it's worth reiterating that I took Relumins Gluta 1000 along with Relumins Advance Nutrition Vitamin C Complex. Hence I'm not sure exactly what caused the heart burn sensation. 
4. It did not improve my sleep nor my energy level.
5. Just like other Glutathione supplements in the market, it smells like rotten egg.

Will I consider buying Relumins Gluta 1000? 

Are you an all-day sitter experiencing lower back pain?

You are not alone. 

I've had my fair share of lower back pain caused by prolonged sitting. 

On this article I would like to share with you how BackJoy SitSmart has changed my life in less than a week.

But before that, let's take some time get to know the brand BackJoy SitSmart. Shall we?

BackJoy SitSmart and its Claims?

BackJoy SitSmart claims to be a safe and effective way to relieve lower back pain and improve posture.

BackJoy SitSmart also claims it can automatically position your body in correct posture for all-day sitting comfort and posture support. 

Check out BackJoy's other products by clicking here.



In a nutshell, BackJoy SitSmart promises three things:

1. To improve your posture;
2. To activate core muscles; and
3. To relieve natural back pain.

How to Check BackJoy SitSmart's Authenticity?

I know a lot of online shops  including Lazada are selling this at a much cheaper price.

But I opted to buy from an authorized BackJoy Kiosk at SM Mall of Asia because I wanted to try it first and most of all, I wanted to make sure it is authentic.

How Did BackJoy SitSmart Changed my Life?

• BackJoy SitSmart trained or forced my back to sit up straight because it made slouching very uncomfortable.
• In effect, I felt like my curved posture was being stretched back into its original form, which for me is a good sign. And let me be honest, the first two days of using BackJoy SitSmart was excruciatingly painful. But I endured it. 
• After three days of "sitting smart" with BackJoy, the existing back pain plus the pain caused by "posture correcting"  was completely relieved. 
• Even when I stand up, there's a weird feeling forcing me to hold my posture straight! Which is great!
• Fast forward to now, I have been using my BackJoy for a little over two months already and I love how both my sitting and standing postures have tremendously improved.

Right off the bat, I can say that BackJoy SitSmart is really effective as a posture-corrector. 

Yes, it's a bit pricey I know but I tell you it's worth every buck!
