Venus&Mars Beauty Loot




Searching for the best skin care products have been my hobby. Health and Beauty stores became my Mecca for the new and interesting products in the market. Before I purchase a product, I look down on the ingredients list, I know for a fact that the words that gave you a hard time pronouncing means they can be harmful and I really had an aversion to chemicals, they can speed up the "whitening" process on some lotions but in the long-term, they will strip the natural moisture of your body which you need.

I type and research in Google and find some interesting products, I stumble upon Multiply on a local online store called V&M Botanicals. I have read a lot of raves about their products and found out that they are using organic ingredients. So it got me curious and made me order, I look for a reseller near our area because I had a bad experience ordering online with a local mineral make up brand that forgot to include an item in my package and they just don't care. Anyway, at least I can save more money from shipping and bank transactions which is cool.


 


Their Spa Milk Salt Whitening & Smoothing Crystals costs Php 95 per 100g tub
Php 145 per 200g bottle
have 4 variants: Yummy Vanilla, Mango Mandarin, Coffee Mocha and Orange Burst. I am a big vanilla fan, from coffee with vanilla powder to vanilla candles. So, I chose this variant and I am so glad they have this in vanilla. I ordered for the big tub since I am going to use this in my entire body and I did not regret it! The scent of Yummy Vanilla is like Christmas in a Bottle and it stays longer than any other body scrub that I had used. I scratch my knee the first time I had use it, I know I have heavy hands so the next time, I carefully scrub myself in a circular motion for it's ingredients to penetrate my skin more. I use it from the back of my neck to my foot as a foot scrub as well. After rinse, Wow, my skin is smooth and supple like a baby's. My brother wants to eat it because of the lovely vanilla scent. :)




V&M's Bare It All Emu Cream- Php 225 per 100g tub that comes in plain or mentholated tub is my another favorite, after using the Spa Milk Salt, I lather this on some dark areas on my body like my knees, elbows and at the back of my neck. The lavender scent is so soothing that if you use it at night, you'll be relax. I chose the mentholated variant and it really feels great and cool while lathering it. It is non-sticky or greasy compared to other body butter plus the price is so affordable that you can just kiss your expensive body butter goodbye because the effect is just the same. Only better I guess because you are not applying any chemicals on your body. I will just have to wait for about 2-3 weeks to see the whitening results.




CPC+G or Clair Blanche, Papain, Calamansi and Glutathione Whitening Treatment at Php 165 per 20ml jar is I guess one of their bestsellers. Why not? It's got the best and the safest ingredients known for whitening. I just add 6 drops on every 30 ml toner and I also add this to my Bare It All Emu Cream so the whitening effect is doubled and faster, I hope. Not to mention the Vitamin A, C, E, Potassium and other more essential minerals in it.



Well, I am planning to purchase more from them especially their bestseller soaps like Poppy Plush and Lulur and the no petroleum based Lip Detox which may be a little pricey compared to other lip balms but they've got the best ingredients in it so it's better.
