Mattifying Moisturizer by My Prime Review

I won this product last 2 weeks ago after joining Beauty Mnl's contest. Out of the many people who  made a comment which is the right answer to the contest/quiz only 5 were chosen and I am so blessed to be one of them. So this is my review of it.


Packaging

The box is made of paper and is blue. When it was delivered the top of the box is already opened. Maybe due to the pressure and stimuli while traveling the product. It is environment friendly because it is made of paper.




The bottle is of quality material. It is quite thick. It is not a squeeze bottle. It has a cylinder cover. You need to press the bottom so the cream would come out.


Ingredients

Purified Water, Glycerin, Stearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Squalane, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Ceteareth-20, Glyceryl Dilaurate, Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, Pyrus Malus Extract, Pectin, Chlorella Vulgaris/Lupinus Albus Protein Ferment, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Canarium Ovatum (Pili) Pulp Oil, Moringa Oleifera (Moringa) Oil , Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol Molecular Film Fluid, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Pineapple Extract, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol (and) Caprylyl Glycol (and) Sorbic Acid.


 
The Moisturizer

It is fragrant but is the smell is not too strong which for me is good. It is white to off white or cream. The texture is not so thick which for me is good. When I applied it on my face, my skin felt relieved and relaxed. It has little bit of a cooling effect but it is not mentholated. It is hypo allergenic and is fragrance free.

The Ingredients Highlight:

Pili and Moringa oils are the cornerstone of select My Prime Anti-Aging Formulas. Rich in antioxidants and omega fatty acids, these extraordinary botanical oils have historically been used by Filipino women to achieve healthy, ageless skin. Read more from My prime website

How to Use

Follow washing or a toner application by blending into skin across the face and neck. Apply morning, night, or when needed.

Product Application

Apply to cleansed face and neck in an upward circular motion. For maximum results, use morning and night.

Scarf Giveaway by Mulberry Whisper



I think this silk ikat infinity scarf is a nice accessory for the coming spring. It was hand made by my mother in her studio at home. She used lush vintage Uzbek silk with luminous ikat prints to make this luxurious long circle scarf. You can take a closer look at the silk ikat infinity scarf here, at our MulberryWisper shop on Etsy. I hope you like it! 
All of our silk eternity scarves are either one of a kind or very limited edition, because we make them individually, from beautiful and rare Uzbek silks. We also sell rug pillows, wool Russian shawls, cotton Russian shawls (those are very rare as their production stopped more than 30 years ago); we upcycle damaged Russian shawls into wonderful scarves, and offer ready to ship clothing. We also take orders for individually designed clothing. We have some vintage silk scarves as well. We have recently started making a very fun accessory - multi-purpose purse scarf. 

The giveaway works as follows:

 ф
And if you happen to win - we ship all items for free, including your purchase! (If you do buy something this time, please send to us at MulberryWhisper a note to delay shipping until the end of the giveaway). This includes our past customers.

Sunshine Fields Shower Gel Review

This product is just a Christmas present to me. This is available in Watsons stores and SM Department stores in SM Malls. It has a fruity scent. The consistency of the gel is not thick and it is more of a viscous gel.

I use it with a bath sponge or bath scrub.

What's good about this product is it has Aloe Vera which is good for the skin. It also has citric acid


Ingredients

The gel is very light yellow but it would not tint the skin.


Rating: (1-5, 5 as highest)
  • Smell - 5
  • Consistency- 5
  • Packaging - 5
