What is it? 

We've had another merciless dry season, with the unrelenting hot temperature and humid air. Think of this, as early as 10:00 am at the office, I am already imagining going home and heading straight to the bath to wash off the stickiness. In truth, I can only have another bath after a long day's work and the simple process felt like cleansing my soul. No, actually it was heaven on earth. 😂

I wanted to elevate my experience while taking my evening baths and that is how I started missing Human Heart Nature. I wanted to have something that smells really nice and to me, HHN products always smell good in a non-synthetic way. I've been an HHN fan for a long time but it's been a while since my last purchase so I decided to order some over Shopee. Moreover, I also noticed that taking multiple baths in a day using soap has started to take a toll on my skin. I could feel that it was making me dry so I knew that I needed something mild and HHN fits the bill. 

I was so excited when my package arrived that I couldn't wait to take a bath. 😆 And because of this product, my quick bath took twice the usual time. You know why? Well, I spent a great amount of time just sniffing the symphony of fruity scents coming right off the bottle. The body wash comes in a transparent gel form and it lathers well - but not in a big bubble type of way. Just small suds but I can feel how well it cleanses my skin. I took the time to massage the whole stuff all over my body to make me feel relaxed. When it came to washing off I 'm glad that there is no sticky or greasy after-feel. Above all, my skin felt clean but it didn't feel dry. Clean ingredients and clean feeling for the win! ✔️✔️

More goodness... 

It is indicated in the bottle that a portion of the proceeds of this product goes to the Philippine Foundation for Breast Cancer Inc to help indigenous women who have breast cancer. So with this, I am not just getting an amazing product with clean ingredients, I am also helping the environment and helping my countrymen. I will always be in awe of Human Heart Nature.

Human Heart Nature 100% Natural Bug Shield DEET-Free Lotion

Price: Php 99.75

Where To Buy: Online at www.humanheartnature.com

This mosquito repellent is 100% free from harmful chemicals. It has no DEET, parabens, synthetic fragrance and other toxic substances. Its active ingredients are citronella oil and soybean oil.

I will admit that this product has taken a back seat for the last year. I literally forgot about it. However, the recent news related to the Dengvaxia Vaccine has put me on my toes and even though the said vaccine has never been introduced in the Visayas, I want me and my family to be free from mosquito bites, as much as possible.

Our home is not particularly overpopulated by mosquitoes but there was a time when there were one too many and I was having a hard time sleeping. I actually remembered that I had this is my stash and decided to apply it. The packaging said that you have to reapply it every 2 to 4 hours but I never got to reapplying it. You know why? It's because I slept so soundly after applying it. It really kept the bugs away.

The creamy lotion doesn't feel heavy when applied. It just has a little hint of oiliness, which keeps the skin from feeling dry. If there's a downside to this product, it's that it has a really strong scent. It's really fragrant, sharply sweet and a bit tangy, must be because of the mixture of natural oils. Well, if the scent is what's keeping the bugs away, thank you very much, I will take the smell over the bites, itchiness or worse, Dengue.

Am also glad that it's 100% natural and free of harmful ingredients.

Here's a review of one of my current favorites from Human Nature. I bought this along with the Gentle Cleansing Oil and because of this pair, I always look forward to cleansing my face and taking off the grime at the end of the day. 

Regular Price: Php 249.75 

Where I Bought It: www.humanheartnature.com where I have a membership so I have like a 15% off the regular price 

In a nutshell, it is a detoxifying mask+ scrub that promises to unveil radiant, satin-smooth skin. It also promises to dissolve excess oil, clear pores and gently polish away dead skin cells for a better complexion with its natural ingredients. It doesn't contain any plastic microbeads and other harmful chemicals.

It comes in a white plastic squeeze tube, something similar to St. Ives'. The lid closes up well so no amount of product leaks out. I love the white packaging. IDK, it looks more chic and expensive than it actually is.

So I bet you can spot the granules and the brownish exfoliators on this scrub. No plastic micro beads here, just strawberry seeds and bamboo granules to help slough off the dirt and the dead skin.

I'll make a confession here: I am quiet lazy when it comes to taking care of my skin. Yes, I wash my face every night. I know that at the very least, I need to pre-cleanse, I need to tone and to slap on some night moisturizer. I think I'm to able to fulfill it like 75% percent of the time. The rest of the time, I just cut through the process and just wash my face. I know you know the struggle, ladies! 

But....I've seen the difference that a religious skin care regimen can bring so I really try to fulfill the process, although it's not as complex as the Korean skin care routine. 

I've incorporated the Human Nature Gentle Cleansing Oil to my routine and I now appreciate the process of pre-cleansing. And now, it's great that I have also decided to try out the Human Nature 100% Natural Detoxifying Mask + Scrub. 

It promises to dissolve excess oil, clear pores and polish away dead skins and yes my skin looks brighter and healthier now that I am using it. I have also observed that I barely get any pimples.

This product can be used either as a scrub or a mask and there are instructions on the packaging on how to use it. But honestly, we don't have to be too technical about it. ;) When I am in a hurry, I use it as a normal facial scrub and massage it on my face for a while and then I rinse it off. If I have more time to spare or I just want to relax first, I use it as a scrub and leave it on my face and I just lean back and close my eyes. If I happen to fall asleep, the mask stays for more than five minutes on my face. LOL. Either way, it is effective for me. 

It's not something I do every day since I'd hate to over scrub. Just two to 3 times a week is enough for me. Thankfully, I have not experienced dryness or stinging sensation while using this. 

BTW, is smells great! Like mixture of fruits - I don't know what fruits exactly but it smells like it's good enough to eat. 

I'm definitely repurchasing this one when I run out. 

XOXO,

Good skin starts with a clean slate! Doing a primary sweep of excess oils and dirt with a cleansing oil allows your facial wash to more effectively cleanse your skin. This beauty practice is called the double cleansing method, recommended by beauty gurus to avoid enlarged pores and acne due to leftover dirt and grime.

Human Nature 100% Natural Detoxifying Mask + Scrub

"Pollution and stress take a toxic toll on your skin daily. Take a pinch of time to escape, recover and bounce back with this multitasking mask+scrub duet and unveil fabulously soft, smooth skin – all in the comfort of your own home."

This is also one of my new favorites. Once upon a time, I thought cleansing was enough. Now that I've found this I'm never going back. I will also do a full review of this product soon.

"Some things may look better shiny, but never your face! Finally flaunt shine-free skin with the oil control formulation of Balancing Facial Wash with manila elemi. Its natural formula strikes the perfect balance between effectively eliminating excess oils and naturally moisturizing the skin."

This isn't the first time that I tried the Human Nature Balancing Facial Wash but I think they've made updates on the formulation and added those grainy stuff which based on the ingredients might be the loofah. I still love it though and no matter how many other facial washes I try, I'm safe in the knowledge that this Balancing Facial Wash will always work for me.

"Complete your natural face routine with the improved formulation of Balancing Face Toner! Bursting with manila elemi, a prized ingredient known for its skin-care benefits and healing properties, and sugar beet, now you can help keep oil under control for shine-free, refreshed skin!"

In case there's still some dirt left after double cleansing and scrubbing I have this Human Nature Balancing Toner to be thorough. It really smells soooooo good too!

"Indulge your skin in a nourishing slumber with our Night Moisturizer, made richer with pure jojoba oil and plant collagen, and with a calming scent to make your nightly skin repair more relaxing."

I think I've sung enough praises for this product on this post. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't know which of the ingredients does it but it really helps in calming down and healing my zits. 

A breakthrough bestseller and cult classic, Sunflower Beauty Oil’s premium formulation is rich with moisturizing and nourishing vitamins A, D & E, earning its place as a well-known and well-loved top-to-toe beauty solution.

I discovered Human Heart Nature online in 2015. Since then I have availed myself of a dealer membership, although it is just for personal use. It allows me to shop through their site at discounted rates. Needless to say, I have shopped countless times at www.humanheartnature.com and I have tried a handful of their products. I have also made some reviews about 'em; I guess Human Heart Nature is all over my blog. Today I will be sharing a quick review of some Human Heart Nature products that I've tried. Come have a look.

I grabbed this lippie a long time ago. Honestly I can't remember when, LOL. So I guess it's about time that I make a review. These photos were also taken using my camera phone waaaaaaaay back so the quality isn't that good. Apologies for that. But anyway, hewego!

Product Name/Shade: Human Heart Nature Mineral ColorCreme Lipstick in Passion Candy

Regular Price: Php 325.00// Member Price: Php 276.25

Where I Got It: www.humanheartnature.com

Vivid color. Luscious moisture. One rich lipstick.

Time to let your natural beauty dazzle with this luxurious fusion of cocoa butter, sunflower seed oil, passion fruit seed oil, and natural vitamin E that melts onto your lips for an exquisite, creamy glide.

My Take

Ingredients. It's a white box but just got a bit dirty haha.

Swatched on the back of my hand.

The lipstick came with a little leaflet that contained some infos and tips about lipsticks and application.

July 2016's short but sweet list. All good things, all good things. All affordable things, too. ;)

If I have not experienced any major pimple issue for the past few months, I owe it all to this facial wash. I have previously used their Balancing Facial Wash and I loved it, too but I feel that this Acne Defense is more appropriate for my greasy and pimple prone skin. I use them alternately for now, but this one especially when it's that time of the month.Tea Tree is great indeed. It kills the pimps and is non-drying to the skin. I love the herbaceous scent too!

I have reaped the benefits of constant exfoliation that it has become a cardinal rule for me now. My companion for this thrice a week ritual is the Human Nature Coffee Body Scrub. It smells like ice cream and it has coffee granules that serve as exfoliators. It is also very much moisturizing, it feels like a body butter and scrub at the same time (but of course you have to rinse this off).

"The Keep You Hands Soft and Clean Combo"

Muzu Hand Cream and Human Nature Natural Sanitizer in Fruit Burst

I discovered the Muzu Hand Cream while walking down the hallowed aisles of Watsons last April. I love that it's very affordable and yet really works in keeping the hands soft and nourished. The scent is also very subtle. It contains olive oil, horse fat (yes), sunflower seed extract, coconut oil, shea butter and vitamin e so that's a helluva lot of a good stuff. A little goes a long way too, so this little bottle here has lasted a loooooong time.

..And here's another product from Human Nature: the Natural Sanitizer in Fruit Burst. I've purchased other variants of this and I think this 'flavor' is the latest addition to the bunch. Let's just say that I thank the Heavens that this variant was developed since I didn't like the scent of the other ones I tried. :) 

"For the Stay Pretty Bunch"

A Little Bit of Everything

I've been using the BYS 8 Neutral Palette almost everyday  ever since I got it. I don't do anything intricate to my eye make anyway so there's no need for complicated stuff. And I veer away from glitters so this matte palette is perfect for me. I use it on my eyebrows, I use it as an eyeliner, I use it for defining my eyes. I love it! ;)

For my lips, I've been trying to rock the matte pink with the Avon Perfectly Matte Lipstick in Pure Pink but I figured I can't make it perfect without using a trusty lip balm in the same shade so this favorite from April, the Human Nature Tinted Lip Balm in Pink Orchid made a comeback. And boy they do work great together like they're related.

Also in this list is the purple-tinged e.l.f. Tone Adjusting Face Primer. Prior to purchasing this, I researched a bit and I learned that this one has positive feed backs, statements that go as far as "If you won't get anything else from e.l.f., you should get this', and well, I couldn't agree more with that statement. It's lightweight and instantly brightens the face and makes for a smooth canvas prior to makeup application. A real bang for your buck!

I've also been using the Hypercurl Volum' Express mascara from Maybelline. It's already quiet affordable at Php 199.00 but I chanced upon it at Watsons (again) and it went for Php 169.00 and I knew I had to grab it. It's waterproof, it doesn't smudge.

"The Wellness Duo"

Human Nature Rescue Balm and Soothing Balm

I have recently reviewed these two and you can read it here.

xxx

...And that's about it. those are favorite products for the past three months or so. The good news it, everything on this list is affordable; nothing over expensive, knowing the spendthrift that I am. But they all work great and that is what's really important. ;) Ayt?! Ayt!

'Till next month's list. Buh bye!
