Human Heart Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil

Are you looking for an all-in-one natural product and Filipino made? Then this must be the product for you!! 

People have been talking about this product on the internet. They say it is effective and Filipino made. They even mentioned how organic this product is. Friends have tried it and even recommended it. :) Let's give it a shot then! 

What are the benefits of sunflower oil? They say sunflower oil is healthy for the skin and the planet. It is high in Vitamins C, A, and E. It does so much with just a little drop! Inexpensive too!

Human Heart Nature 

100% Natural Sunflower Beauty Oil 

50 ml= P129.75 

100 ml =P249.75

I bought this from Robinson's Galleria Grocery. Human Heart Nature products are hard to find. Not all grocery stores carry their brand. 

The product is inexpensive unlike others. It comes in a clear pump bottle. Very hygienic! :) You can see how much product you've used up. 

Human Heart Nature brand is Filipino made and cruelty free. :) 

Product Description: 

Dermatologist tested. Do you believe in miracles in bottles? Experience miracles as our gold elixir works its magic. Helps lighten dark under eye circles, dark spots, and pimple marks, minimize stretchmarks, lighten underarms, adds shine to dull hair, moisturizes the face and body, and more! No wonder sunflowers are known as "Happy Flowers" for the joy they bring! 

100% No Harmful Chemicals! 

Ingredients: 

premium cosmetic grade Helianthus annuus (sunflower) oil

The description sounds convincing! It mentions the many uses of this product! And it can actually do more than that! 

Chemical free? Yes it is! Even ants love it! :) I left mine in the bathroom and then a few days after the bottle was covered with ants! 

How to use: 

Gently massage onto skin day and night after cleansing or apply half a drop all over hair for shine. 

This is my 2nd bottle! :) I bought the 50 ml then upgraded (upgraded? Hahaha) to 100 ml. I tried using it on different parts of my body. 

As a moisturizer for my...

• feet (yes, it needs moisture too!)
• chest area! (need to share some love on that department! Preventive measure!)
• upper part of the body (total moisture!)
• behind (prevent stretchmarks!)
• hair (tried but not as often)
• face (tried but discontinued. It was too oily)

As a whitening for..

• underarms (does little effect)
• scars (it lightened quite a bit)
• dark circles (tried it but it was too oily for my liking)

As a multi-purpose product..

• salt scrub (to exfoliate my feet)
• eye make-up remover (too oily but helps remove waterproof mascara)

Conclusion: 

It is a great all-in-one product! It's cheap with many uses! You can use it according to your preference and need. It is organic and safe to use. Even babies can use it and preggy moms too! It helps keep your skin soft and healthy. The moisture it provides can help prevent future skin problems: sagging, stretchmarks, etc. 

However, it does attract ants. :( Tried to use it all over my legs and left residues on my bed sheet. The following day, I had bite marks on my legs and there were ants on my bed. Changed the seats and concluded it was because of the sunflower oil (bathroom story). 

This product can be used together with your favorite lotion for added moisture. :) 

I will definitely and absolutely repurchase this! :)

LUSH BIG Sea Salt Shampoo

Is your hair limp and dull? Do you want to give it extra volume and shine? Why don't you try a different shampoo experience!! 

I heard about BIG from a YouTube channel: missglamorazzi (I love Ingrid and she really makes great reviews on make-up and other skincare products!) I got curious with the shampoo's special ingredient: SEA SALT. 

Sea salt in a shampoo? Why not give it a try then. It'll be quite different from the usual creamy shampoo I use everyday. :)

LUSH BIG Sea Salt Shampoo 310 g (Price: P995)

Product Description: 
Have a big hair day. This is like having your hair lifted on a sea breeze. Sea salt shampoo to give your hair lift and volume, make it easy to get a comb through and smell great for hours. 

The product comes in a black pot which you twist to open and close. It is my first time to buy shampoo in a pot such as this one! 

It is quite expensive for a shampoo (Price: P995). Though it seems to have a lot of product inside. So might as well give it a try. :)

I love LUSH because their products are handmade and made with love. :) They encourage their buyers to recycle by returning the 5 clean pots or tubes and get one fresh mask for free!! :) 

They are also against Animal Testing! :) Cruelty Free! Love it! 

On the side, you will see a yellow sticker. It indicates who made the product, when it was made, and when it will expire. 

At the back part, it shows how to use it, a top tip, good to know information, and the ingredients of the product. :)

How to use: 
Work gently and thoroughly through wet hair to create lather, then rinse away.

Top Tip: 
Always shampoo twice with this one to get a luxurious thick lather and give your scalp and hair a really good treat. 

Good to Know: 
We carefully partnered the sea salt shampoo base with seaweed and coconut to give softness to the hair, fresh lemons and limes to give shine and then topped it off with a lovely bright and uplifting fragrance of neroli, mandarin, and vanilla.  

Handmade With Fresh Ingredients: 
Coarse Sea Salt, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Fresh Lemon Infusion, Fresh Sea Water, Sea Mustard Extract, Cocamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, Fresh Lime Juice, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Neroli Oil, Mandarin Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Orris Absolute, Limonene, Linalool, Benzyl Benzoate, Coumarin, Perfume

Oh no! It has Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, Benzyl Benzoate, and perfume. If you have sensitive scalp, might as well think twice before purchasing this product. And I thought LUSH has organic ingredients. :( 

When you open the pot, you'll immediately notice the sea salt granules. It is translucent in color, it's jelly-like and coarse in texture. It has a lemon-y scent which I like! :) 

A small amount will do because the product lathers really well on wet hair. The sea salt can help exfoliate the scalp and after massaging it onto your hair for a few minutes, you won't feel the salt anymore. I'm not sure if it dissolves or if it falls on the floor. If it does fall on the floor, it can help exfoliate your feet as well. Double purpose! Hahahaha! 

When I rinse it out, my hair feels clean and smells really good! :) It feels like you're in the beach on a summer day! But, it's hard to comb though (since my hair is color treated). I have to use a very moisturizing conditioner afterwards. 

When my hair is air-dried, it feels bouncy and full of volume. My naturally wavy hair seems to be more wavy than ever! However, this shampoo is considered as a clarifying shampoo. I suggest using this in moderation or on a weekly basis for it really cleans your hair and scalp. We don't want to over clean it right? 

Conclusion: 
BIG is a great clarifying shampoo! It helps with volume and exfoliating the scalp. It smells great on the hair! It will leave it smelling great for hours! And like I said, it's really a different shampoo experience! 

However, it is quite expensive for a shampoo, it has ingredients that are not healthy for our hair and scalp, and over-using it will contribute to dryness. 

I'll continue to use it though and maybe consider repurchasing it. :)

Hair Issues: Hair Products

I envy people with naturally beautiful hair. I just wish my hair will be like that. Unfortunately, it's not. :( 

My hair is a combination of straight and wavy. It is a bit dry, fine, and thin. It has been color treated for almost 4 years now. Just 2 years ago, I started coloring my own hair. I used the Revlon Colorsilk Range in 175 and 24. It is quite difficult to work with because there will be uneven patches. Then I started using the Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring in Natural Brown. It's just bubbles! Easy to use. :) But this product is always out of stock. :( 

I shampoo my hair every other day because I'm worried with hair fall! I don't want to be bald when I'm in my 60s. :( I'm not sure if my hair is considered as "damaged" because it has always been like this before I even colored it. 

I rarely go to the salon to have my hair treated. The last time I had it treated, it created trauma not only to my hair but also to my pocket. :( It was VERY expensive and did nothing on my hair but made it worse. :( After that, I started investing on DIY hot oil treatments. I even bought my own heating cap. I'm that desperate. HAHA!

I had it rebonded and relaxed before. I don't like how straight it was and it really damaged my hair. :( 

Hair Products: 

I'm looking for hair products that suit my needs: for moisture, for hair fall, for thin and fine hair, and for color treated hair. 

1. Organix Brazilian Keratin Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner 577 ml
(Price: Buy 1 Take 1 P960)

The description says: An exclusive blend of antioxidant rich coconut oil along with lush keratin proteins to strengthen and soften the hair, while avocado oil and cocoa butter smooth the cuticle for straight, strong tresses, adding a brilliant glow and luminescent shine. 

The shampoo is light brown in color while the conditioner is brown. It has a thick consistency. It smells like coconut. It is gentle on the scalp and hair. This is not great for color treated hair because it does not make my hair soft and smooth as indicated in the description. The scent does not last long on the hair. 

I tried the hair masque from this range. It is great on the hair because it is gentle and adds moisture to the hair. 

2. Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Intense Moisturizing Treatment 237 ml (Price: P449)

The description says: A unique, precious blend of Moroccan argan oil which instantly penetrates the hair shaft restoring shine and softness while strengthening and creating soft, seductive, silky perfection. 

This product has an off-white color. It has a thick consistency. It smells like moroccan argan oil. I use this every fourth day for my hair needs extra moisture. After I shampoo my hair, I gently dry it and apply the product from the scalp to the roots. I use a wide tooth comb to evenly spread the product onto my hair. I gently massage my scalp and wrap it either with a shower cap or a hot damp towel. I rinse it off with lukewarm water. 

It feels great on the hair. It makes your hair smooth and helps add moisture to the hair. :) 

3. TRESEMME Smooth and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner for dry, frizz prone hair 600 ml (Price: check nearest grocery store)

It comes in a pump bottle. The shampoo has a silky texture while the conditioner has a creamy one. It smells great! These products are great for color treated hair. It leaves your hair clean, smooth and silky. It feels like you just came out from the salon. :) 

The shampoo may be considered as a clarifying shampoo. I don't use this as often because it can cause additional dryness to my hair. 

They are both great if you are planning to straighten or curl your hair. (TIP: If you will curl your hair, no need to use conditioner. This will help hold the curls longer)



4. LUSH Big Sea Salt Shampoo 310 g (Price: P995): 
The description says: Sea salt shampoo to give your hair lift and volume, make it easy to get a comb through and smell great for hours. Have a big hair day. This is like having your hair lifted on a sea breeze. 

This is a clarifying shampoo. It helps clean your hair and scalp. It has sea salts and has a different texture unlike most shampoo. It helps exfoliate your scalp and gives extra volume to your hair. :) It smells really good!! It lathers really well on your hair and leaves your hair smelling good for hours. :) 

I use this once a week just to help clean up my scalp and hair. :) Go try one. It'll give you a new shampoo experience. :) 

5. LUSH Roots Hair Treatment 225 g (Price: P895)

The description says: Thine be the glory-Don't despair, we've got a treatment for thin and fine hair. The route to mighty fine hair. Fine hair needs careful looking after. This treatment is packed full of ingredients to revitalize from root. 

It's main ingredient is mint. It's off-white in color. It has a minty scent. It feels cool on the hair. Great for summer! 

This is how I use it: I part my hair into 4 even sections. I apply the product on dry hair and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. It is quite hard to work with most especially for color treated hair. I shampoo it out and condition after. I use it every fourth day and it helps give volume to my hair. 

6. Dove Damage Therapy Intense Repair Overnight Treatment 120 ml (Price: P390) 

I use this on a weekly basis. It comes in a pump bottle. It has a creamy texture and smells like detergent (overwhelming at times). I use this at night and sometimes in the morning. It gives shine and moisture to the hair. :) After I wash my hair, I squeeze out extra water from the hair. I part my hair into 2 sections. I apply 2 pumps on each section and massage it on the hair. 

7. Mondes Professional Moroccan Argan Oil Hair Masque 250 ml (Price: P109)

I bought this from Watsons. It's cheap for a hair masque. It has an off-white color with red granules. It has a light-creamy consistency. It has an overwhelming scent (the one that you smell from the salon). I used this 2-3 times already and I don't like it. :( I feel that this contributes to my hair fall. The scent is too overwhelming. 

8. Fruits of the Earth Gugo Shampoo (Price: P200)

The description says: An original restorer extract from gugo bark. The bark contains abundant amount of saponin which is responsible to the abundant lather produced when mixed with water and other natural ingredients extracted from variety of the best quality herbs, plants, trees, and fruits. An agent that stimulates the hair growth, helps control psoriasis, dandruff, prevents premature baldness, controls lice, strengthen the hair roots, will improve healthy and beautiful hair. The nourishing extract maintains the natural moisture and balances the healthy condition of the hair roots. 

It comes in a plastic jug container. It has a dark brown color and smells great! Surprisingly, it lathers really well! :) I apply it onto wet hair and massage it for 3-5 minutes. It leaves the hair clean, shiny, and healthy. :)

Skincare Products

Before you look at the products I use, here is a description of my skin. :)

My skin type is Normal/Combination skin. Some parts of my skin are oily 
(t-zone areas) and some areas are dry (near the lips and nose). My skin is not sensitive but may react to new products. I rarely breakout. If I do, it must be because of stress, pollution, or long overused pillow covers and towels. I am also acidic. 

I have broken facial capillaries near my cheeks and mouth area. Broken capillaries may be caused by genetics or overexposure to the sun. In my case, it must be genetics because my mom has it too. I haven't done anything to treat this condition but I'm planning to buy a facial cream rich in Vitamin C. Or if you have any suggestions how or products you would recommend, leave a comment below. :) 

My skin has acquired sun spots due to overexposure to the sun. In the previous years, I've been going to the beach without applying sunblock on my face which I really really regret. :( Sun spots or liver spots are areas of increased pigmentation that have developed due to sun damage (Source: Causes of Dark Spots). Last year, I started applying sun block on my face and neck everyday just to help reduce the appearance of sun spots and to help fight off UV rays from the sun. 

My eye area is puffy, with fine lines, and dark circles. I have eye bags ever since I was young so this might be part of my facial features already. Boo!:( 

SKINCARE PRODUCTS: Face
These are the products I use. Some of them are used regularly while others are on a weekly basis. 

1. The Body Shop Cotton Rounds (Price: P150): I use it with my toner. It is gentle on the skin. It has 2 sides. A smooth and rubbery side. The smooth side can be used on the face while the rubbery side may be used on the neck or when removing nail polish. It is quite expensive for a cotton pad (P150). Wait for it to go on sale instead. :) Or find a cheaper alternative. 
2. Human Heart Nature Nourishing Face Toner Tomato Extract for Normal or Sensitive Skin (Price: P89.75): After washing my face at night, I use this toner to get rid of extra dirt. It smells like tomato and does not dry my skin. I use a few drops on a cotton pad and gently apply it on my face. However, it stings when rubbed on the skin or when too much is applied. Human Heart Nature products are hard to find because not all grocery stores sell their products. This is proudly Filipino made. :)
3. The Face Shop Herb Day 365 Cleansing Foam in Aloe (Price: P265) I wash my face twice a day: in the morning and at night. It is gentle on the skin. It does not dry my skin. It has a creamy texture and then foams up when applied with water (not as foamy though). The description at the back is in Korean. :( Hope they write descriptions in English to help their non-Korean customers. 
4. The Body Shop Nutriganics Smoothing Eye Cream (P1000+): I use this at night. It is creamy and has a glittery finish. It has a slight vanilla-ish scent. I get a small amount and rub it between my ring fingers. I tap it gently under my eye. I try not to apply it on my lids because it adds to the puffiness on the eye area. My eye area seem to be the same and I don't see any results. :(  
5. Clinique All About Eyes reduces circles and puffs (Price: ?): Every morning, I gently dip my ring finger to get a small amount of product. I rub it between my fingers and gently dab under the eye area. It provides ample moisture to the area but I haven't noticed any results yet. 
6. LUSH Ocean Salt Facial Scrub (Price: P995): I scrub my face twice a week. This scrub has chunks of sea salt which helps exfoliate the skin. The sea salts are quite overwhelming on the face most especially for people who are not used to coarse textures for facial scrubs. Others use this not as a facial scrub but more as a body scrub. This helps prep other areas for shaving. I like it for its texture and scent. Check my friend's review on this. :)
7. The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream (Price: P750?): It is light on the face. It has a mild scent. It is good for combination/oily skin. I just love love love. Check my review on this. :) 
8. Human Heart Nature 100% Natural Moisturizing Night Cream with Plant Collagen (Price: P145.75): After cleansing my face at night, I immediately apply this product. It has a creamy texture and feels light on the skin. Although, it doesn't give any significant result or effect on the skin when you wake up. It just gives moisture but not as moisturizing. 
9. Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque (Price: P329): I used this on a weekly basis. After cleansing the face area with lukewarm water, I pat it dry and apply the masque. I'll leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Your skin will tighten for the product is in its drying process. Wipe it off using a clean warm towel.  
10. Nivea Daily Face Fluid SPF 30+ PA++ (Price: P224.75): Sunblock application is important most especially now that summer is fast approaching. Sunblock helps in the anti-aging process for it fights off UV rays. This product has a light consistency and scent. It's in a fluid form and can be easily spread on the face. I apply this on my face and neck everyday. 
11. Cetaphil UVA/UVB Defense SPF 50+(Price:?): This product has a thicker consistency and a higher SPF than the Nivea one. I use this when I'll be getting a lot of sun exposure. I don't know the price because someone gave me a free sample of it and I'm planning to buy one when it runs out.

• 1 out of 3 women refuse to leave home without makeup on

• 6 out of 10 women wouldn't go to work without makeup

• Women believed that makeup was necessary for their significant other to have found them attractive when they met

Valentine's Day Special: LIP Products

In recent studies, men find lips the most attractive part of a woman's body. 

"The average man will spend more than half his time looking at her mouth and if she applies lipstick he will find it near impossible to look away."

Men love lips fact: 

• A dash of lipstick will hold a man's attention for 6.7 seconds while a saucy shade of red will keep his interest for 7.3 seconds. 

• Men find thinner lips appealing by 40% once lipstick had been applied (Source: Men Love Women's Lips)

This Valentine's Day let us give more attention to our lips. :) 

I've never worn lipstick before and use it only on special occasions. I heard people talk about its side effects on your lips and as much as possible I try to leave it bare or with minimal lip gloss. But this year, my lip product collection has grown! 

From left to right: The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain, NYX LSS640 Fig, The Body Shop Born Lippy in Raspberry, Maybelline Watershine Pure C11, and NYX Xtreme Lip Cream XLC06 Buttery Nude


1. The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain
The Lip and Cheek Stain is one of the bestsellers at the Body Shop. I've been using this for almost 8 years now! I like this product because it has 2 uses: as a blush and lip stain. 

It's compact and can easily fit your purse and make-up kit. If you have special events, you may carry this along for its dual purpose. 

The regular price is P795 (Sale: P375). They also have Buy 1 Take 1 sale which you can also avail. But I prefer their P375 sale but this does not happen often. Hoarding is not a sin. ;) 

It has a watery consistency and can easily be blended on the cheeks for a natural flush look. A pea-sized amount works well on each cheek. It can last a long time on your lips and cheek. No lipstick stains! 

I give The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain 5 thumbs up! :)

I will definitely and absolutely repurchase this! :) 



2. The Body Shop Born Lippy in Raspberry 
I love the Born Lippy Lip Gloss range. I tried the Strawberry and Raspberry. They both taste and smell sooo good. Enough said. :) 

It's good over lipstick or on its own. :) However, this is not a lip balm. It won't help with chapped or cracked lips. This pot can last for months! 

TIP: You can use lip balm on joints, cuticles, hair, make up, noses and eyebrows. (Check this out: 6 Uses for Lip Balms)

Regular Price: P275
Sale: P195

I give The Body Shop Born Lippy in Raspberry 5 thumbs up! :)

I will repurchase this! :) 



3. NYX LSS640 Fig
I got this lipstick from a friend (ehem!). I like the color and it is very pigmented. A couple of swipes can give your lips a pinkish color. This is great for summer and valentines day. :) 

It has an average packaging. The bottom part shows the actual color of the lipstick. No need to do swatches. :) However, their packaging is not durable and not suited for traveling.  

Regular Price: P150 (not sure)

I get dry lips often and need to re-apply lip balm. This product feels dry on my lips that's why I have to apply lip gloss over it. 

I give NYX LSS640 Fig Lipstick 3 thumbs up! Because of its drying effect on my lips and its non-durable packaging. Although, this lipstick is quite cheap but hard to find. You can buy NYX lip products at: Digital Traincase. 


3. Maybelline Watershine Pure C11 
This was also given to me by a friend (ehem ehem!). I don't know how much it costs since it was a gift. :) 

I like the color. Its great over another lipstick or on its own. It gives a shiny and glossy effect. Hence, the name. 

It gives a natural look on your lips and non-drying. :) 

I give the Maybelline Watershine Pure C11 a 4 thumbs up because the color can sometimes be too pale and the paint on the packaging can easily peel off. 

I'm not sure if I will repurchase this. I'm not gaga over the color. 

4. NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in XLC06 Pinky Nude (It's not Buttery Nude)

The description says: It's not lipstick, nor is it gloss. It's like nothing you've experienced before. It's liquid lipstick that goes on with full Xtreme color and intense shine. 

I bought this from the Digital Traincase. They have a small booth at the Eton Cyberpod near Robinson's Galleria. 

The consistency is thick unlike most lipstick. It gives a bright pink color on your lips and is very pigmented. It has a subtle scent and taste. :)

This shade of pink is great for summer and Valentine's Day. :) 

I give NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Pinky Nude 4 thumbs up! They did not give justice to the name. Not hydrating at all. Just felt ordinary.

The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream for Combination/Oily Skin.

The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream for Combination/Oily Skin.

My skin type is Normal/Combination skin. Some parts of my skin are oily (t-zone areas) and some areas are dry (near the lips and nose). I need to use a daily moisturizer underneath my make-up because if not, my face would look cakey and dry. 

I’ve been using The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream for almost a year now. The consistency is light and easily absorbed by the skin. It has a light scent and feels great on the skin. It doesn’t feel oily because of its matte finish. Hence, the name. :) 

You can use it underneath sunblock, foundation, or BB cream. It acts as a great primer too. :)

This product won’t moisturize extremely dry skin. If you are looking for something very moisturizing, look for products suited for your skin type. It is important to determine your skin type first before buying certain products. To those who may have the same skin type as mine, I would recommend this product for daily morning use. :)

It’s a bit pricey for a daily moisturizer. TIP: Buy The Body Shop  products that are on sale. They are a lot cheaper (of course!). Wait for the SALE most especially from November to January. :) If you are a regular buyer of their products, avail their Love Your Body Rewards Card for points and discounts. :) 

I give The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream 5 thumbs up. :) 

I will definitely repurchase this. :)
