House of Beauty Secrets Snail Brightening Snail Scrub + gigawhite

Here's a review of another House of Beauty Secrets product. 

Snail brightening body scrub contains

Macadamia oil - 

Macadamia Nut Oil contains one of the highest sources of Palmitoleic Fatty Acids, between 16 to 23%. Palmitoleic is vital for delaying skin and cell aging.

Gigawhite- Is one of the latest innovation in skin whitening. The best alternative to the dangerous hydroquinone. 

Snail extracts- enhances skin elasticity; helps the skin becomes smooth and younger looking.

Goat's milk- of course Cleopatra's secret is no longer a secret, it is widely used in beauty products because of it's proven whitening, moisturizing and anti aging effects.

Imported sea beads- Exfoliates dead skin cells.

Skin moisturizers- moisturizes the skin to give you not only whiter, but silkier skin.

Sizes:

300 gms- 450.00

150 gms- 250.00

Here is 150 grams and it can last up to 2 months when used 2 to 3 times a week. 

As you can see, the product has lots of exfoliating beads (that's what I call them)  
and I think that's what makes it a good scrub. 

Every scoop of the product has just the right amount of beads and cream. 
It isn't like other scrubs out there. 

Some products have the beads only. They call it salt scrubs. 
And you cant avoid over scrubbing your skin when you use them. 
Here, you have moisturizing cream and the scrub. 

So while sloughing off dead skin cells, you were able to moisturize your skin too! 
And gosh! This smells amazing! This product made me believe in forever.
(sorry Marcelo Santos III totoo ang forever!) forever as in I wanna use this forever! Haha. 

This is a must for me because I shave my legs. I once read that exfoliating your skin can help prevent ingrown hair. So, to shaving women out there, consider this as a new best friend!

After bathing, I feel that my skin is smooth, and there's no doubt about it because even my husband noticed it. He can't keep his hand off of me because it's so smooth. And the scent, it lingers on my skin for an hour or so.

PROS:
Nice scent
Perfect ratio of scrub and cream
Makes skin softer
Scent lasts for an hour after bathing
Affordable because it lasts long

CONS:
Available only through online sellers
Addictive
Once you use it you can't stop hahaMay cause irritation if you overdo it 
(do not over-scrub your skin, just sniff the product if you can't get enough of it)

Majolica Majorca Lash king vs Maybelline Hypercurl Volum Express

                         Maybelline HyperCurl                               Majolica Majorca Lash king reg price: P795

             Volume Express mascara P299, watsons                          But I got it for P499 on sale

The Packaging:

I love the sleek packaging. Very modernly chic! 

Black tube with metallic pink font match with silver cap.

Who wouldn't want that?

The Wand:  

Maybelline mascara has a curved wand that I like.

It reaches all of my lashes. And it gives me the curl that I need.

The formula:
It has the right formula, not too creamy which is prone to clumping.
And not too thin so it can give your lashes the volume it needs.
It's easy to apply it glides on smoothly coating every lashes.
And it is build-able! 1 coat for a natural look.
2 coats for thicker lashes but still looks natural and 3rd coat to give the volumizing effect lashes.
It's indeed a waterproof mascara and smudge-free! No need to worry for oily skin.
It has a bit of smell. The natural smell of mascaras and other cosmetics.

Worth the price?
Yes!! Definitely! I love this and will repurchase this again!

Almost no clumping. And very very natural looking. 

2nd coat of maybelline volum express

Longer, thicker lashes, with minimal clumps. 

Removing the mascara:

It is kinda hard to remove which is normal when using waterproof mascara. 

I use 2 cotton buds soaked in make up remover to clean one eye. 

The Packaging:

It is so nice! The royalty design, the cap, gold and black color. I love it!!

Looking at it makes me want to be a queen!

The Wand:

Majolica Majorca mascara has a straight, thin tip.

The bristles are not as thick as the maybelline.

this kind of brushes gives you a cleaner look, hence less volume.

The Formula:

The moment that I saw it, the first thing that came up my mind is "dry"

It does look dry! Like the mascara that you keep using after 6 months of purchasing it.

But it has fibers that lengthens and thickens your lashes.

It has a faint smell of nail polish which is not a very big thing as you will be applying this on your lashes.

I don't like how it mess with the cap. I want my make up clean.

Always clean and I really really don't like this.

I wish they made the inside of the cap black instead of gold.

1st coat of Majolica Majorca

Just one coat is enough to have a thicker, volumized lashes.

200% of your lashes guarantee!

It may clump easily. The fibers are not working. 

The fibers are always at the tip of the wand.

I don't know how to make it work, 

I tried mixing it in circular motion but it just don't work.

2nd coat of Majolica Majorca

Thicker lashes, but its a little clumpy.

Must use a lash comb to separate the lashes and make it look cleaner.

I don't wanna be in Wayne Goss' list of spidery lashes.

It's not heavy on my eyes which is a good thing. 

I don't recommend this for beginners as I find it hard to apply without messing the eyelid.

Removing the mascara:

I find it easier to remove. Just one cotton buds soaked in make up remover can clean the entire mascara.

Just a mild wipe of cotton buds can remove it. No more falling lashes.

*I am using the eye-stinging ever Ever Bilena make up remover.*

 Maybelline HyperCurl Volum Express
without curling my lashes.
You can see that it is able to give my lashes a natural curl.

Majolica Majorca without curling my lashes.
I don't know why but it just gave me a straight lashes.
 I need to curl my lashes first before applying this mascara.

For me, I will repurchase Maybelline HyperCurl Volum Express over Majolica Majorca.

Because Maybelline is a lot cheaper than Majolica Majorca. 

But the performance of the two mascaras doesn't really have huge difference.
