We've almost reached half of 2017 but I'm only on my second Sample Room haul? Well I'm taking things slowly because as much as possible I'd like to give honest reviews about these products and I know that the best way to do that would be to make keen observations and really try them out for a certain period. 

So I have here three products which could have easily cost me close to Php 500.00 if I purchased them at the grocery isle. However, since I got them from Sample Room, they are absolutely free of charge. You heard that right: FREE. :) Visit www.sampleroom.ph to know more about it.

Whenever I get some products from Sample Room, I can't help but reminisce about the past: when I was just starting out. Nag start din ako sa 100 points, yung tag isang item lang ang kayang i-order. But here I am now, getting as many as three items, which is the maximum for one transaction. It sustains my addiction of trying out new products.  Nakakatipid talaga ako. When somebody sees the pile of products arriving via LBC, I'm not even sure if they believe me when I say that I got them for free. Well anyway, if you're reading this and haven't heard of Sample Room yet you better believe. LOL. 

Now, on to the Sneak Peek.

Silka Premium Moisturizing Milk Lotion Deep Hydration
Moisturizing Milk Lotion Variant of Silka
Active Ingredients: Blended with a rich Avocado Oil & Almond Milk Protein for a smoother and fairer skin
Plus factor: with SPF 23
Scent: Fresh floral
Works on all skin types

FULL SIZES: 50ml / 100ml / 200ml

Ingredients of Silka Premium Moisturizing Milk Lotion
-Easily a favorite. The lotion has a rich and thick consistency yet it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It also smells wonderful. Sample Room says it's floral but to me it smells like Jelly Ace. A 90's kid would know. Ha ha

Belo SunExpert After Sun Gel
Belo SunExpert After Sun Gel can soothe sunburn and inflammation with its nourishing formula that is infused with almond oil and skin vitamins. It relieves sun-stressed skin from UV radiation damage, restores natural skin moisture, and hydrates dry or rough skin. It is also hypoallergenic, paraben-free, and dermatologist-tested.

Usage: Apply and massage a generous amount on face or body immediately after sun exposure. Re-apply as needed.

FULL SIZE: 100ml
PRICE: PHP 259.75

Ingredients + Deets of Belo SunExpert After Sun Gel
- The perfect antidote to sunburned or inflamed skin. It really helps in cooling the skim down. It's also very moisturizing. I'm not sue if you'll love the scent though, because I didn't like it. Neither did my husband. I hope Belo can improve that aspect.

- I got really curious about this product. I don't have any visible wrinkles yet but I know every single day brings me closer to getting them. This'll be the first anti-wrinkle anything that I'll ever try, so wish me luck. LOL. One thing I can tell you is that the think cream smells sweet. I will post a detailed review about this soon.

Hiyah! I'm sharing some of my latest orders from Sample Room. Sample Room is of course, the Philippine's first ever beauty and lifestyle sampling website. "It is an interactive community that offers FREE samples, localized product reviews, and where all beauty lovers are valued." To know more about Sample Room, you can always visit their website, www.sampleroom.ph.

This year marks my 4th year of being a member. How time flies! I discovered Sample Room in 2013. Then of course, Super Typhoon Yolanda happened and I went into a blog hiatus. There are times that I become busy that I forget to visit their website for months but you know, I will always come back because I love discovering new products. I have even tried their VIP Membership last summer and I really had a blast ordering, sampling and reviewing loads and loads of products. Anyway, I got carried away with that intro, huh! 

Now, back to where I started, I am here to share my latest haul from Sample Room. Actually, I got this last November 2016. See, my latest is very very late. Yes, I am such a slacker sometimes. But, hewego!

The products that I picked are both proudly Filipino because I am a sucker for  helping local brands to flourish to help my countrymen and the local economy. (^_^) The brands are Zenutrients and Silka, respectively.

I know most people are not so familiar with Zenutrients so if you want to know more about the company, you can visit their website. These are what I got from them: the Gugo Strengthening Shampoo & Conditioner.

ZENUTIENTS GUGO STRENGTHENING SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER
The main hair strengthening component found in this pair is of course Entada Phaseoloides, locally known as Gugo.

It takes two, baby!
Gugo 
This plant is very large tree found throughout the Philippines. Gugo is used extensively in the Philippines for washing hair and for hair tonics. When the bark is soaked in water and rubbed, it produces a lather which cleanses the scalp very effectively. The active principle of the bark is saponin. (source)

Ingredients of Gugo Strengthening Shampoo
CLAIM TO FAME: A 100% organic shampoo that beefs up thin or limp locks

FAST FACTS: Made with all-natural ingredients; strengthens hair and promotes hair growth with gugo; leaves your locks thicker, fuller, and more beautiful with regular use

Check out the photo of the Zenutrients Gugo Shampoo above. That's a Gugo bark inside the bottle so we're definitely in for the real thing and just upped our hair thickening props here. Both of the shampoo and conditioner smell minty and you only need to check out the other ingredients to find out where the scent is coming from. The Shampoo also contains Tea Tree Leaf Oil (Meleleuca Alternifolia) and Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil. Meanwhile, the Conditioner has Peppermint Oil (Mentha Piperita). These minty scents are soothing and very unique, as opposed to the floral scents of other shampoo and conditioner combos in the market. They also have a nice cooling effect on the hair and scalp.

And because I am featuring Zenutrients products, I have also included the Gugo Strengthening Hair Serum in this post. I also got this from Sample Room last year and I find that this serum compliments the shampoo and conditioner. It is perfect for keeping the hair moisturized and frizz-free

ZENUTRIENTS GUGO STRENGTHENING HAIR SERUM

Zenutrients Strengthening Hair Serum Ingredients
Zenutrients has combined five of nature's most well-known ingredients that fight hair thinning and hair fall - Gugo, Jeju Aloe Vera, Green Tea extract, Tea Tree and Eucalyptus essential oils. -www.sampleroom.ph

Like I said, part of the haul that I got from Sample Room are products from Silka. Isn't it great that I got some really useful hair and body/skin care products from Sample Room?

I reviewed these Silka products on a previous blog post and you can read it here.

SILKA SKIN WHITENING LOTION AND SOAP WITH SHEA BUTTER

XO,

Carissa
I'll never tire of trying out products from Sample Room, especially if it will allow me to discover or try for the first time some wonderful and proudly Filipino products. Today, our spotlight is on Silka. Of course, Silka products have been around for like, forever. But the ones I have tried are the older variants; their Papaya Soap (Orange colored) is a recurrent favorite in our household. This time though, I got to try a new variant of their lotion and soap, this one has Shea Butter.


Shea butter is an off-white or ivory-colored fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). Shea butter is a triglyceride (fat) derived mainly from stearic acid and oleic acid. It is widely used in cosmetics as a moisturizer, salve or lotion. Shea butter is edible and is used in food preparation in Africa. Source: Wikipedia


SILKA SKIN WHITENING LOTION WITH SHEA BUTTER

Silka Whitening Lotion with Shea Butter is your best choice for everyday essentials because it provides everything your skin needs.

- Scientific whitening lotion variant of Silka
- Active ingredient: Shea Butter
- Claims: Whitens in 7 days
- Plus factor: with SPF23
- Scent: Cocobutter, almost edible scent
- Works on all skin types

Full Size: 50ml / 100ml / 200ml

Silka Skin Whitening Lotion With Shea Butter Ingredients
Let me just say how much I love the scent of this lotion. Indeed it smells like a combination of coconut and butter; a very delectable and sweet scent. I also love the thickness and the richness of this lotion, and  skin feels truly moisturized and soft with continued use. It also doesn't feel greasy and icky, despite it's rich and thick consistency. Having an SPF 23 content is also a big plus given this country's sunny weather. It also has another big promise though: the whitening factor, which the brand says comes in just seven days. I cannot vouch for that since whitening isn't really something that I look for in products. I'm happy with just moisturization and sun protection. 

Moisture-rich lotion.

SILKA SKIN WHITENING SOAP WITH SHEA BUTTER

Silka Skin Whitening Soap With Shea Butter Ingredients
Silka soaps really smell great, especially the Green Papaya one. This Skin Whitening Soap with Shea Butter smells just like its lotion variant. This one goes well with the lotion because if you use the soap alone, it could be drying. My partner (a guy that he is) swears by Silka Papaya soaps for its whitening and smoothing capabilities. That's very Piola Pascual of him, huh? LOL. I think he would also like this soap just the same because my skin feels smoother, and yes fairer, after using this soap.


These Silka products are available in the mass market; they are quiet hard to miss. Here's another Filipino product that we can all be proud of; continuously providing top-quality cosmetic products to all its consumers at an affordable price, as stated in Cosmetique Asia's site. Silka is produced by Cosmetique Asia, also makers of Juicy Cologne and Biogenic Alcohol, among others. Check out www.cosmetiqueasia.com.
