Bench Organics Products. Aloe Soothing Gel and Face and Body Mist

Mood: Lazy Saturday morning vibes
Music: Bill LaBounty. Livin it up.

Bench has always been a fave brand because they always keep you updated about casual fashion trends and even about skin care and makeup. Their organic product line has been around awhile and their Organic Aloe products are surely a favorite. These products are amazing and really worth a try because they are a great deal, considering the quality and pricing.

The Bench Organics 94% Aloe Soothing Gel

The Bench Organics 94% Aloe Soothing Gel is just fab. It is cool and refreshing to the skin. True to its name it is soothing when you apply it especially during the warm and hot months. And since it is in gel form it is very light on the skin, it does not feel heavy or sticky. The product has 94% Aloe Vera Extracts for excellent moisturizing effects. Its gel-based formula is quickly absorbed by the skin hydrating it and leaves no oily residue. 

It is suitable for the face and body, so go ahead and be crazy with it. It has a fresh and clean scent. No need to worry about the icky smell of the aloe vera plant. If you tried using the real actual leaves you would really appreciate this product because they already eliminated that offensive smell of fresh aloe.

This Bench product also suggest that you can store it inside your refrigerator for a fresher, more soothing, and cooling effect on the skin. The product comes in a green plastic pot and has 300 ml clear aloe gel, which is a great buy at P189.00. Counterparts retail at P300-500.

Bench Organics 92% Aloe Face and Body Mist 

Bench Organics 92% Aloe Face and Body Mist is another great discovery! It is also refreshing, moisturizing, and hydrating, as the product claims. It comes in a 150ml plastic spray bottle. It retails at P229.00.   I have been using this as a face spray to just freshen up. You can also use this under or over your makeup. I also use this to spray on my arms and neck when I'm outside and just need a quick cool off.

These products are readily available at all Bench branches or you can check them out via their Bench Online Store

iWhite Korea Products Review. Whitening Sleeping Cream Mask and Aqua Moisturizer Whitening Vita

Mood: On a caffeinated high. 

I'm still on this personal challenge and I deemed that I would also like this blog to be my journal/repository 'whatever' of my favorites. May it be skin care, makeup, or household cleaning items. Or my favorite bayad center haha or food mart. This is like a soft opening of sorts since I am trying to get on the blogging train again and is 100% sure is talking to zero audience. lol

There is so much Korean things out there today. I mean from KPOP to handsome GongYoo. You name it we are definitely experiencing it here in Manila. I am such a fan of their Korean skin care products. Even their drugstore brands is already impressive. Particularly, iWhite products which are readily available at Watsons and even at 7-Eleven convenience stores. They usually come in packets or sachets and are very cheap.


iWhite Korea Whitening Sleeping Cream Mask. I love this overnight mask. I think I have used 3-4 sachets of this product. I do wake up feeling my facial skin deeply moisturized and it does not dry my face with its whitening properties. I have a dry to combination skin so I am particular about anything that has whitening ingredients because they usually dry up my skin. The 8ml sachets lasts me up to a week.

Apply it on your clean face before you retire at night. Apply a generous amount on entire face while avoiding the eye and mouth area. Remember to wash it off in the morning. It is safe for everyday use. I also love the gentle very clean scent of this product.

The product claims to enrich your skin while you sleep with active lightening and rejuvenating ingredients for a deep overnight skin nourishing experience. This product is infused with niacinamide/vitamin B3, bamboo sap extract, arbutin, jojoba seed oil, and rose flower water.

iWhite Korea Aqua Moisturizer Whitening Vita. This water-based moisturizer always appears on the favorites of beauty bloggers because of its light non-greasy formula and very effective moisturizing properties. I have used several sachets of this product so I already bought it in its 50 ml tube packaging. It is very light on my skin and you can wear it under your makeup, just make sure you apply sunblock because this does not have any SPF (sun protection factor) ingredients. The light blue tinted moisturizer immediately cools your face upon application. I used it to hydrate my skin during the times that we went swimming this summer and my skin seemed to thank me for the cooling nourishment upon application.

The product claims to deeply hydrates with its water-based formula. The natural ingredients also help prevent premature aging, protect the skin from cellular damage, hydrates, and maintain firmness of the skin. Active ingredients listed are mulberry root extract, panax ginseng root extract, and green tea leaf extract.

Both products are made in Korea.

My daughter and I are using and are fans of other iWhite Korea products. I will post our reviews for those in the coming days. We are particular fans of the pore refining products, facial wash, and BB cream. So more of those in the next posts. Also check out  iWhite on Facebook
