Beauty Buzz: Palmolive Naturals + SkinWhite Products from Sample Room

I got me another package from Sample Room - the Philippine's first ever beauty and lifestyle sampling website. As always, it's nice to be able to get something from the mail. Ooooh! But before anything else, I'd like to say that this is the first time that I experienced delays in shipping with SR. At first I attributed it to the crazy rainy weather in the NCR at the beginning of August. But when three weeks has passed and my order still has not arrived, I knew I had to follow up. It turned out that my package was lost and all that but they acted quickly about it and it no time, these hefty babies arrived. And I'm not the type who gets put off with minor hitches. So no worries Sample Room. No love is lost. Now on to the quick reviews. ;)

 Price/Size: Palmolive Naturals Intensive Moisture Cream Conditioner - Php 95.20/180 mL
Palmolive Naturals Intensive Moisture Shampoo - Php 96.50/180 mL

Palmolive Naturals is probably a brand that we Filipinos have been familiar with since forever! The earliest memory that I have of using a Palmolive Naturals product goes back to my second year in grade school - that would have been 1995! I shampooed with it, I just forgot the variant though, haha! The Palmolive Naturals that we have today has been repackaged overtime and is endorsed by some of the most popular Pinay actresses. I got excited when I saw this bundle on Sample Room. It's great to be able to try the shampoo and conditioner variants because in general, related products are compatible and work better together.

I have this dry and frizzy hair so I thought this Intensive Moisture variant would be perfect for me. It has Coco Cream and Milk Protein extracts for keeping the hair hydrated. I love how this shampoo and conditioner combo smells and how the scent lasts throughout the day. True enough it didn't make my hair feel dry or sticky. My hair felt soft and bouncy. It couldn't do anything about keeping my hair smooth though. I just have this naturally 'buhaghag' hair and I have accepted that fact a long time ago. Haha!

SKINWHITE CLASSIC WHITENING LOTION LIGHT FEEL SPF 10 AND SKINWHITE ADVANCED WHITENING LOTION SPF 20

Ingredients of the SkinWhite Advanced Whitening Lotion. Price/Size: Php 123.50/100 mL

These two lotions from SkinWhite are truly a delight to use! In fact, I may have become a SkinWhite convert now! The Classic Whitening Lotion SPF 10 with Light Feel Technology caters to those who want a light weight lotion that gets easily absorbed by the skin. Having a lower SPF content, I prefer using this on days that I would just be staying indoors or when the sun isn't sooooo hot . The Advanced Whitening Lotion with SPF20 on the other hand has a richer and thicker formula but what I love about it is that it doesn't feel heavy or greasy. It is also easily absorbed by the skin. They are both very moisturizing and leaves the skin soft to touch. I wouldn't want to choose, I love having them both! ;)

Feel the texture, based on the photo. LOL.

The one on the left is the Light Feel lotion and you probably noticed that it is watery. It doesn't feel uncomfortable though when you put it on your skin. On the right is the Advanced Whitening Lotion; that's a creamy and thick formula minus the greasy feel.

There ya have it. The the total amount of the loot  is Php 387.20 but they all came free so I only paid Php 180.00 for the shipping. Amazing, ain't it?! They all came in full size, so I didn't have to shop for shampoo, conditioner and lotion. I'm one happy consumer. Plus I discovered  the gem that is SkinWhite. Sample Room truly gives every Filipina the "Try Before You Buy" advantage. Thank Sample Room!

P.S., Hubby also loves the SkinWhite Lotions, I have a feeling that he's been using 'em more than I have, LOL
