Amira: Moisturizing and Skin Whitening Soap

Most of us heard about his Magic Cream Amira. Some said it worked like magic and some said that it takes a risk because it has Hydroquinone.
So I decided to try the soap first- at least I can be safe. 

                                                                                            So here it is! 



Contents:


It says it has Wheat germ oil. It doesn't mean it has Germs on it, but Wheat germ is the embryo to form the sprout that becomes the wheat grass. So, what is wheat germ? It is packed with protein and vitamins like Vit. E, folic acid, zinc, phosphorus, thiamin and magnesium. You know what? Try searching in google.


Anyway after I opened the box, you can see that the soap is packed with another plastic.



It lathers well, and yeah... .As you apply it you can already smell citrus- lemon or something.



Pros:
Smells nice
It doesn't dry up skin much.
Lathers well.
Packaging: it's ok, but the box is kinda- - - needs more attraction, 
if you know what I mean,
It doesn't have Paraben Contents.

Cons:
A bit expensive costs Php130 on Watsons
Leaving it on to the skin (face), itchy/stingy sensation.
Doesn't do the moisturizing effect that you need to put lotion to be sure you don't 
leave dry skin, (well it doesn't have Shea Butter now does it?).


-Whitening effect results of continuing usage of soap like twice a day or so.. But since my skin is already white, but not that snow freakin white, I can't see much of a difference. -

Mena Pearl White Cream

Hello guys and dolls, I'm going to have a review about Mena.. What I bought was the new one called, "Mena Pearl Cream".. The blue ones.

SO YEAH! HERE IT IS..



                          Here are the contents,
So as you can see, there is also Kojic Acid thus it makes skin lighter.



I have been using Mena since last month, and I'm in a second bottle now.
I've read a lot of reviews regarding Mena, and most of the girls were not that satisfied because the result may vary if you are already have white skin, you can't see the results very much.. =/

And some had to apply Mena religiously, because- I mean what do you expect if you always forget to apply it.

So HERE is the INSIDE cream picture,



And here are the pictures of me,
Before applying the Cream:


AFter Applying: On Face and Neck

As you can see the AFTER picture, you can observe a whitening effect,
so I would suggest that you apply the cream during night time.. You don't wanna look like a china doll at day time now do you?


Pros:
Smells nice..
Very cheap
It doesn't break out my facial skin
It gives me a glow after I woke up.
It doesn't give me pimples.

Cons:
It has Paraben content.
It has Fragrance content.
Only in 3 grams. (small right?)

Note: Okay, since it can whiten the skin, you may apply it on your elbows and knees if you want to. Because before I had uneven skin tone in my feet because I wear long pants and wearing doll shoes walking under the sun, so- yeah..Shockingly after you put off the shoes, KABOOM! that trace of  Yin and Yang. =_=! But it evened out after several applying mena pearl white.
You can also put it on your underarm during night time. It might work out! =)

Will I repurchase? Yes..and No. Yes, because I only apply to moisturize my skin during cold days at night, and No because it is not that necessary or a need to apply cuz my skin is already light and pimple free.
