First Impression: Asian Secrets Lulur Indonesian Whitening Body Scrub

Hello everyone! Today I will be reviewing a skin care product from a brand called Asian Secrets. Although I do have policies when it comes to the time frame on when I can produce a review [CLICK HERE TO READ MY BLOG’S DISCLAIMER], this entry will be a first impression blog post wherein I will share my initial thoughts and observation about the product.

Timely, I have a nasty scar on my elbow after falling down the stairs (for the 2nd time this year) last week, so for this review, I will be using my elbow’s scar as my basis.

PACKAGING (4/5)

If you’ve been a reader of mine since day 1, you know well for a fact that packaging is one of the first things that I discuss and rant about. For this particular product, I like how they have provided a lot of information like product claim(s), warnings, ingredients, and other relevant information that a consumer like me needs to know.

At the bottom, it contains the MFG date as well as the EXP date which is very important especially that it’s a product that’s meant to touch the skin (we don’t want to use any expired products on our skin, right?)

It also has a plastic seal on the rim which is outstanding because then the consumer will know that the product they will be getting is a new and untested one.

However, if you want to share this product with your sister or other members of the family and you still want to be hygienic, you might want to purchase a cosmetic spatula or use a plastic spoon to dispense the product from the jar since this one doesn’t come with any of those.

SCENT (5/5)

For those who have a sensitive nose, I think both product’s scent is tolerable. The scent reminds me of a spa that uses expensive massage oils.

The one in purple, which contains mulberry leaf extract does have a noticeable scent that of mulberry. While the one in blue, which contains seaweed extract has a sweet smell that kind of reminds me of flowers.

APPLICATION/INITIAL REACTION/PRODUCT CONSISTENCY (5/5)

I have been using body scrubs since I don’t even know when. From the most expensive one that comes from my dermatologists to the ones that are readily available in the market, I feel that I am somewhat capable of producing a decent review for this.

For one, I like the consistency of this product. It has a mousse like texture that slowly turns into a powder dust like texture as you carefully rub it onto your skin. Because of the polyethylene (one of the product’s ingredients), it has bead like particles which are basically the ones who exfoliates the skin.

After washing the areas where I used this product, I immediately noticed how smooth it became which is probably because of the cetyl alcohol (which is one of the ingredients). I like how it did not make my skin turn into a red irritated one so that’s a plus for this product.

Reader's Question: Where to get Lingerie Online?

I have been receiving questions lately on where to buy lingerie online. Aside from the local brand that I know here in Manila, a website that I trust that provide high quality lingerie is suasionsecrets.com.

On particular collection I really recommend that my readers and friends get is the Axami lingerie. It is a lingerie line imported from Europe from famous Polish brand, Axami. The materials that they use are of high quality and the fabric is very luxurious that are imported from fashion capital of the world like Italy, France, Spain, and Austria.

In the year 2008, the brand was honored with the title The Quality of the Year 2008 by The National Program of the Quality Promotion in Polish Enterprises. Through this award, it goes to show that brand is of high quality and provides luxurious designs to its clients.

So for the reader who have asked me where to get lingerie online, I hope this post of mine helped you. Let me know in the comments section if you did end up buying from that website, and definitely share with me if the Axami lingerie really has a luxurious feel to it, also let me know the kind of customer service that they have provided you.
