Skinpotions Review! Tomato Serum , Flaunt Thy Lashes, Snow Potion Oil
8:40 PM
I don't usually buy skincare products sold in Instagram because they're expensive. I saw an underarm serum worth Php 600 and I'm like "Seriously?" So when I noticed that Skinpotions offers a serum worth less than Php 300 coupled with positive reviews, I knew I gotta try it.
30 ml, Php 280 (USD 1= PHP 45-48)
Bought at Trinoma (Pop Culture) but Skinpotions have several resellers locally and abroad. Follow their Instagram account @skinpotions.
There's no indication what kind of plastic it is. I think that the ingredients listed on the sticker isn't complete because it doesn't list "fragrance" whereas the serum itself smells like strawberry. That's definitely a con for meticulous shoppers.
Performance
This clear gel serum feels refreshing upon application. It doesn't leave any slick or oily sensation, making it perfect for day use. I personally use it under my makeup, too because it doesn't make my foundation feel greasy. I am anemic so naturally, I don't have pink cheeks. I don't even blush when I'm laughing hard. I'm pale like a mannequin. Within 2 weeks of use, it didn't make my skin appear pinkish white but I noticed that I don't look as sallow and olive as before. Somehow I look fresh. The small bumps on my face have diminished which is great because they always make my skin look rough. As for the acne scars, well I don't have existing acne scars so I wasn't able to test this serum on acne scars. It didn't have any effect on my wrinkles, however.
One pump is enough to cover my whole face and neck. I think this would last me around 4-6 months of daily use.
Overall, I'd rate this 3.8/5. For the cost, this serum is a steal. If you want a serum that is affordable, try this one. 30ml is the only available size at the meantime but shelling out Php 280 for a natural face serum (not organic) isn't so bad.
Moving on to the next product....
Flaunt Thy Lashes!
I have sparse lashes that's why I have two boxes of false eyelashes to compensate for it. I figured, well this bad boy is only Php 150 so I might as well try it.
5ml, Php 150
Bought at Trinoma (Pop Culture)
This eyelash gel/serum has a doe foot applicator and is meant to be applied on the roots of your eyelashes.
Ingredients:
Performance:
I saw thickening of my eyelashes on the 10th day. A lot of baby hairs started to grow on my top lashes. As for the length, there was little growth, about 1/5 of the length of my lashes. I noticed that my lash curler doesn't drag my eyelashes like it used to, meaning my lashes really got longer. Flaunt thy Lashes has a refreshing scent but it doesn't sting the eyes. Although there were a lot of oils in the ingredients, this one doesn't feel oily at all. I could only wonder.
Overall, I'd rate this 3/5. It's a good budget eyelash conditioner but if you want dramatic length increase, this may not be for you. I plan on trying other lash serums next time because why not :). I want to explore so I will not buy this again.

Snow Potion Oil!
Snow Potion Oil is a lightweight oil housed in a dark amber bottle with a glass dropper dispenser. It has a vitamin C derivative so the amber bottle protects the vitamin C from oxidizing from UV rays. The glass dropper tube isn't so sturdy; I could nudge it side to side so I need to be careful with it.
Also, notice that the bottle isn't filled to the brim when I took out the dropper. This is no problem for me, as long as the bottle contains 30ml.
This lightweight and scent-free oil spreads easily and didn't cause me breakouts so far within 5 days of use.
Here are the ingredients and product description of Snow Potion Oil:
I will try this oil on my discolored leg scars, lips and intimate area. However, I will only be posting before and after pictures of my scars and lips but I will update this blog after 2-3 weeks if I noticed any changes with my skin "down there" ;). I have no sunspots so I will focus on the whitening and anti-wrinkle effects of Snow Potion Oil.
