It's official! I love Vigan City. I have been longing to go here for the longest time and finally my dreams came to reality. This is not really a review, I just want to share some of the Places we were able to Visit and the Hotel were we stayed in.





 Bell Tower







The Hotel we stayed in was El Juliana Hotel and Resort, we paid P 1,200 good for 2 persons already, they have a pool and wifi, but during our stay, wifi was open but no internet connection, so that's a minus for them. They have hot shower which I really enjoyed after a long trip, they also have a pool but we didn't bother to swim since we were excited to tour around and eat lots and lots of Empanada.

Hotel Juliana gets 1 thumb up and 1 thumb sideways since no wifi during our stay.

We were in Vigan City recently, we planned to go there just to taste authentic Vigan Empanadas. So we went and had a blast and ate 20 pieces of Vigan Empanada. The First one we tasted was Hidden Garden's Vigan Empanada, we didn't quiet liked it because the Crust was a little too hard for us and it was very oily.



The Next one I tried was Irene's Vigan Empanada and Okoy. The empanada was GREAT! I even ordered 9 pieces in advance to bring back to Manila. It was so Great, that this is the only place we ate Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner while we were in Vigan City. There are 3 Choices of Empanada to choose from, Chicken (My Favorite), Pork and Beef.

The Last one we tried was the one in Plaza Maestro which is available at night, too bad I forgot to take a picture, anyways it's like a Night Market and a lot of Stands are selling empanada for P 30 and it was also great next to Irene's Empanada of course. Well there you have it, next time you're in Vigan City, try all the Empanadas and you will surely love it.

FOR MY NEWEST REVIEW OF THE ISHIGAKI PREMIUM!
************************


I will go straight to the point. I bought this through a reputable online seller just to make sure that I will be getting an authentic Ishigaki L-Glutathione. I took this twice a day with 500mg Vit C everytime I take it to facilitate absorption. It did not work for me, am sorry. No changes at all, considering I only took it for 1 month, but compared to the Mosbeau Placenta Supplement where I also took it for a month and yet there were visible results. This Ishigaki smells like rotten egg which is what Glutathione should smell like, but just to make sure, I opened one capsule and tasted it, because it should have a bit of sour or bitter taste, sorry but It taste like flour, for something that has Vit C on it should not taste like flour. I am sorry but I will not recommend this. Next thing I will try is Gluta White, so watch out for that!

Verdict:
I will not recommend this Product!

I am a Fan of iWhite Korea Products. So 1 day I decided to try this as a day Cream. And Boy was I amazed. Once you apply it your face will look 2 shades lighter because it leaves a white thin film on your skin. So this is recommended for people who are already fair to white skinned, this will just enhace the texture of your skin. And what's best about this is it has SPF15, so this is perfect to use as Day Cream! And it stays on your face for about 12 hours even if you sweat! It feels so light, it is as if you did not put anything on your face. I love it and using it everyday!

Verdict:

Enhances the texture of your skin and makes your skin 2 shades Lighter.
Recommended for fair-white skinned people only!

This Product caught my attention while I was looking around at Watsons. It is dirt cheap! 15 Pesos and it is made in Switzerland! It is supposed to decrease fine lines and restore skin vitality also smoothen the skin and increase elasticity, that is according to them. So I decided to give it a try although I am skeptic since it is dirt cheap! I know I mentioned that already. Anyways so you're supposed to apply a thick layer of the cream on a cleansed face and wipe it off or rinse it off with lukewarm water after 15 minutes. It is very oily! I don't know if you are familiar with the Ponds Cold Cream that was famous way before all these products came into existence. Well it felt like that. It feels so heavy on the skin but after rinsing it off, skin feels soft and supple. I did not get any break outs even with its oiliness, so that's a good side.

Verdict:

Feels heavy on skin during application.
Makes your skin Soft and supple.
Would not recommend it for people who has oily skin to begin with.

This is the BEST whitening product EVER! I noticed a friend of mine looking so blooming and I asked what is your secret, your face is so blooming and looks soft and silky, the type of korean skin we see on koreanovelas. He, yes he is a he just like me, he told me that he is using Amira Magic Cream, so I decided to give it a try for 295 Pesos at Watsons. According to the Package you can see results in 7 Days, boy they were wrong, I have seen the result over night! After using it for 1 night, the next morning when I woke up, looked in the mirror, WOW! My skin looks so soft, silky and white! Oh well I guess the result was faster on me since I am already fair skinned, but there really is a big difference! This is Highly recommended!

Verdict:

The Best Whitening Product there is!
It will make your skin looks soft and silky, just like the Korean Actors have!
I am using it everyday!

Okay I have really Dark Circles around my eyes and a lot of Puffiness too. So I decided to look for cheap eye creams which could deliver results. I tried Celeteque DermoScience Brigthening Eye Tuck plus Dark Circles Lightener which cost around 300 Pesos. I applied it 2x a day, morning and evening before going to bed. After using it for 1 month, my dark circles are 1 shade lighter but the puffiness is still there. Oh well at least it does work for the dark circles. I have tried a much cheaper eye cream before but it did not deliver to its promise. So this one works and I will continue using it and recommend it to you guys.

Verdict:

It will make your Dark Circles 1 shade lighter after using it for about a month.
Recommended for Dark circles but am not sure for Puffiness though.
I will continue to use it.

This is for the Ivory Color Myra Vitaglow. I opted to go for the Ivory color since I am already fair skinned. Well this product is AMAZING! It would stay on your face for about 12-15 hours even if you sweat! I love how non greasy it is and it feels light. It will make you look glowing since once you apply it, if you look closer, there are micro glitters that can only be noticed by looking very closely. It still looks good even with the glitters on. But if you're not a fan of that, then this one is not for you. It is hypo-allergenic, but to be honest after using it for about a week, I got 2 break outs which are really small, oh well everything is an experiment and not all products will have the same effect in each people who uses them, that is why this is still recommended.

Verdict:

It will stay on your face 12-15 hours even if you sweat which is Good!
It makes your skin Glow because of the glittery thing it has.
Recommended, although if you develop break outs, stop using it for a while, then try again.

I bought 1 bottle of this at Watsons for about 1,500 Pesos which is good for 15 Days. I have tried a lot of whitening pills, but this one I was curious because the main ingredient is Placental Protein which according to mosbeau is more popular than Glutathione in Japan. So I was curious, by the way I also bought their all-in-one facial soap but that one I bought online and I also made a review on that. To be honest, I only took 2 capsules per day so it would last for 30 Days, because I am not rich and I am already fair skinned, I just wanted to enhance it and make my skin glow, so I am more on the antioxidant benefits than on the whitening one. Anyway what I can tell you is that, it really made my skin GLOW and my lips RED, and everyone is noticing how red my lips is, kissable according to them. I also took 1000mg of vitamin C the non acidic type for absorption purposes of this food supplement and I take it on an empty stomach. So I Guess mosbeau is effective and I am loving it!

Verdict:

It makes your skin GLOW
It makes your Lips Kissable Red
I would definitely recommend this

I bought this Soap from Watsons for 89 Pesos. It has Glutathione, Mulberry Extract, Kojic Acid and Vitamin E. I love this soap because it doesn't make your skin dry. It feels milky on skin while using it. I have tried other kojic acid soaps which are so harsh on skin, but this one is different. It feels light and good on skin and there is micro peeling after using it for about 2 weeks but the peeling is not so visible unlike the other kojic acid soaps that I used. And after about a month of using it, I can say that it really does work! So i would definitely recommend this soap. 


Verdict:


Price is cheap compared to other whitening Soap.


I may buy this again, I say "may" because I am interested in trying Amira Magic Soap to make a comparison.


Would definitely recommend this soap to you guys.
