Natura Organics Holy Grail Soap

Natura Organics My Holy Grail Soap

Price: P189 (full block)

From: Natura Organics

I am such a die-hard fan of organic soaps. Organically-labeled add feels to these blocks like it invites us to bathe in luxurious suds, promises that we get nothing but pure goodness. Now, I am going to talk about a soap from one of the leading organic skin care and makeup brands on Instagram--Natura Organics' My Holy Grail Soap (which I got as a freebie for winning their IG contest yie!)

Natura Organics My Holy Grail Soap claims to have antioxidants and which brightens, lightens, hydrates, rejuvenate, clarifies the skin with their superstar ingredients: Organic Olive Oil, Coco Betaine, Organic Tamanu Oil, Antioxidant & Brightening Magnesium Ascorbyl (Vitamin C), Bellides™, Organic Rosehip Oil, Papain Enzyme Plus™, Antioxidant Vitamin E, NiacinPure™ Vitamin B3, Organic Moringga Extract, Organic Calendula Extract, Organic Bearberry Extract, Organic Tomato Extract and Organic Sunflower Oil. (100& Natural, 94% Organic)

This soap comes in a bright reddish-orange color with great sudsing formula and a slight combination of fruity and chemical scent which reminds me of Kojic or Glutathione soaps except this one, I can say, is a tad milder. This soap does not sting nor cause me any micro-peeling after finishing two thin slices. It melts easily too which won't be a problem since it's going to be undoubtedly consumed right before it even melts. Still, I wanted to make sure to prevent wasted soaps by dividing them into smaller parts.

Natura Organics Holy Grail Soap has great cleansing abilities. It effectively gets rid of dirt, dust and oil on the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, bright and glowing. However, I find it a little bit drying on the skin which isn't something moisturizers cannot address so still, it's a great product for me!

I actually used it first on my red days and amazingly (right on time!), it did soothe and remove acne/pimples which I have been battling with every freakin' month. The result? Clearer and brighter skin while on period! Amazing, isn't it? With this soap, nag-back out ata bigla mga pimples ko hahah!

What I like:

-Cleanses well

-Sudsy formula

-Brightens and clarifies the skin

-Dries out pimples

-Non-irritating

-Safe for face and body use

-Does not sting the face

-Made of organic and natural ingredients

-Makes skin looking clear and radiant

-Reduces oil production

-Mild and gentle formula

-Gluten-free

What I don't like:

-Could be a little drying

-A little expensive

-Soap melts quite easily

Overall, this product is super worth the repurchase! It could be a little excess in the budget but I know it will all be worth it. I love this bar and would highly recommend it to anyone! Go get yours now by visiting Natura Organics and drool over their extensive collection of makeup and skin care products which are highly raved by clients!

UPDATED: Skin Care Routine for March-April

This blog post will going to show you what I did use for my face last month up until now.  I wanted to forget how and why I promised myself months ago to keep a minimal skin care routine for my face but, ugh, beauty products are just so irresistible, I can't help it!

I know we have to follow certain regimens to keep our skin as healthy as possible. The most common are the 3-step cleanse-tone-moisturize and 10-step skin care routine of Koreans. While three (3) is clearly not enough for me, 10, on the other hand, is just too overwhelming.

Considering the overall experience I have with these products (using each in conjunction with each other), I can say that these yield me a good outcome: brighter, healthier skin that gets less oily.

PRODUCTS I USE FOR MY MORNING SKIN CARE ROUTINE

1. NATURA ORGANICS HOLY GRAIL SOAP, P189. I depend on it so much in the morning to remove all excess oil on my face during sleeping because it works well in cleansing and brightening the face although a bit drying. This is why I don't recommend it to those who have been suffering from dry skin.

2. BELO ACNE PRO PIMPLE FIGHTING GEL FACE WASH, (AcnePro Kit, P230). I use this gel face wash of Belo along with the Holy Grail Soap just because I like to double cleanse. This is super hydrating and moisturizing on the skin so I use this to compensate from too much natural oil loss.

3. BELO ACNE PRO TREATMENT TONER, (AcnePro Kit, P230). This toner does not only remove deep-seated dirt on my pores, but it also mattify my skin and contributes big time on the prevention of breakouts.

4. BELO ACNE PRO PIMPLE GEL, (AcnePro Kit, P230). I am using this pimple gel because acne-prone skin (like me) requires advance skin care routine with the use of spot treatments. I'm pretty sure you've heard from me that this is the least of my favorites from Belo Essentials Acne Pro Kit but I am looking forward for more product empties for the next month. I may not notice it but maybe this really works in its own little ways.  I do not say that I hate this product but I don't love it either.

5. NATURE REPUBLIC SUN BLOCK, P460. Sun screen has become a necessity that I would prefer it more than makeups. So it really would be nice to have sunblocks that are tinted enough (like Nature Republic Sun Block) to act both as sunscreen and a tinted moisturizer in one. This does not only save time but makeup usage too! Review of this product soon, by the way.

PRODUCTS I USE FOR MY NIGHT SKIN CARE ROUTINE

1. LEIANIA HOUSE OF BEAUTY MICELLAR EAU DE FLEUR. I actually love this tough makeup remover from Leiania House of Beauty. It so mild and gentle on the skin and it easily removes heavy makeup so I usually use this before washing my face at night. There are times when I am so tired that I just want to lay down in bed so I just use this this remove all the dirt and makeup on my face. It's organic and it's effective.

2. LEIANIA HOUSE OF BEAUTY BLEMISH CLEAR ACNE FREE FACE MASQUE, P305. This is my current go-to mask. I apply this everyday before I go to sleep because it has the ability to reduce sebum production, soothes pimples, acne and redness and makes skin bright and radiant. It's made or pure organic and natural ingredients too so consider it as a healthy treat for your tired skin.

3. BELO ACNE PRO PIMPLE FIGHTING GEL FACE WASH, (AcnePro Kit, P230). (See details above)

4. BELO ACNE PRO TREATMENT TONER, (AcnePro Kit, P230). (See details above)

5. BELO ACNE PRO PIMPLE GEL, (AcnePro Kit, P230). (See details above)

6. CLOUD 9 BLANC DE WHITENING CREAM, P700. As much as I would like to include it in my morning skin care regimen, I just can't because it just make my face appear so much lighter than the rest of my body. Let's say it could lighten complexion, I guess it will work better during nighttime when the skin regenerates the most and is at rest.

So, these are the products that I have been using since March. Care to share what's keeping you beautiful?

First Impression: Natura Organics + Makeups

So I received a package this week and it's from Natura Organics, once again, one of the most famous IG shops known to be a manufacturer of organic-infused makeups and skin care products. What an incredible luck for me to be able to be given the opportunity to try some of their bestsellers!

Bought for: Free

From: Natura Organics

It's my second time receiving make up products from a brand and it's almost a complete set with basic essentials to start working on a canvas with beginner skills, the one I have. They are made with organic ingredients too so I don't need to worry whether they could cause side effects on my face or if they can trigger some allergic reactions. Maybe they will, but I am not afraid to try though. Hihi!

Healthy Skin Foundation SPF 60+++

Price: to be updated

Now, this foundation is in the shade Rose which has a strong peachy pink undertone which, I definitely think as not really suitable for a fair skinned gal like me with yellow undertone. However, its high sun protection of 60+++ is quite irresistible as it is my first time encountering a cream foundation that could protect me for hours even under the sun! Lol. Scent is neutral, thank heavens it does not smell like typical drugstore foundations. It has micro shimmers on it too, so if you hate things like that, then, it's not really for you. I haven't tried it on my face yet, just swatched it at the back of my hands, but I say it dries to a matte finish and is lightweight.

Wink Brow Dressing in Raven, 12g

Price: 299

I rarely do my eyebrows just because I do not even know how to trim or shape it naturally. And every time I try so, I just end up looking like a witch in thick eyebrows. So...can somebody teach me how? Even my friends who knew how to shape their brows cannot do anything about my untamed hairs. What do I do now??? Anyways, I'm still trying to have a well-groomed eyebrows, been watching a lot of tutorials lately. I sometimes can shape other people's eyebrows but not mine. How did that even happen!?

Anyway, Natura Organics sent me one of their brow dressing in Raven--the darkest shade in their collection. It's actually a good thing since it's the shade that's nearest to my hair color. And I actually love it! The only thing I don't like is the formula. It has an oily finish which isn't really a match to my oily skin, tendency is, it will just oxidize in a matter of two hours. And it can easily be wiped away.

Dazzling Organic Highlighter in Maria

Price: P399

The packaging is uber cute in a container with a gem-like cover. It's shaded in baby pink with micro shimmers on it. I haven't tried it yet and it will be the first time I am going to try to highlight parts of my face and to be honest, I am sooo excited! It also has SPF15 and I think it pretty well does great job in 'faking' light and bring it to the skin. It blends nicely and leaves a fresh sheer finish.

Soft Matte Lip Gem in Juicy Orange
Price: P699

I am starting to get addicted to lipsticks so I was really happy to receive one from Natura Organics. To be honest, I hate orange but if it's bright and it could lighten up my mood, then I would consider it an exemption even if I find it not really wearable for every day use. This soft matte lip gem is highly moisturizing and pigmented, you won't need a lot of swipes to get an opaque color. However, it has a high glossy finish which I don't really like but matte isn't really perfect for my dry and chapped lips so I guess, this one will do. It's housed in a high-end looking packaging so...I give it an 8/10!

Thank you so much Natura Organics for these babies! Watch out as I will be using it for my future reviews and look! Happy blogging!

Love,

Hanna
