REVIEW: Bronze Tone (Maxi Tone) Lotion

Most of us have used this product before. Initially, when I got this product, I was thinking it was going to do more moisturizing, but my dear, I was wrong. Let me tell you how it all started, I was tired of using all them lightening lotions, and was thinking my skin was beginning

REVIEW: The Fair And White Gold No 2 Maxi Tone Body Lotion

I'm back again, this time with a whole new experience, I always heard about Fair and White products, yeah yeah, you heard me, *heard* LOL. I'm giving a review because you may want to buy this product, or you may have already gotten this product. If you are reading this now, you may have come across the product. So back to the real deal, this particular one comes in... will I say series, or numbers No 1, 2 and 3.

1. is for the Preparation or Exfoliation of the skin, has AHA which is mainly an exfoliator and cleanses your skin deeply.
2. which is what I would be talking about is the maxi tone body lotion. The main ingredients in this lotion are; 1.9% Hydroquinone and Glycerin. oh please. would you get a product that contains hydroquinone?  If you use hydroquinone based products then note that you are open to having skin disorders like stretch marks, psoriasis etc. 

      Many people have complained to me that this product caused her some stretches and all. I decided to use it and see for my self. (LAUGHING). The first week, no changes at all, I wasn't patient and I wanted to try it out without the serum so that I see the potency of the lotion, so I controlled myself and continued using, I was so scared so I added an anti stretch mark concentrate,and then I used as instructed, and that is using only in the evening. the second week, Nothing. Lol, My skin was just looking normal and nothing was happening, 3rd week, I was seeing a glow.i was experiencing that beautiful glow, tho I started taking vit c supplements so I think that was adding to the glow, 4th week, my skin was just looking  healthy, I was expecting to look lighter or way brighter but it didn't happen I was looking just the same.Some people also complained about the product making one sweat, well I didn't really experience that too. I was very free.
Before I forget, I must say, this product has got a very nice fragrance which I loved really well.   My take on this product.

• MAXI TONING:  NO NO NO, You can remove the MAXI and leave the TONING. 
• PRICING: It's actually over priced, and we have many imitations of the product, in my country here, (NIGERIA) it goes for 6000 naira max. when we can get toning lotion for about 1500 naira max
• RATINGS: Before rating this product, I guess you need to start from the No 1 then stop at 3. my take, don't  use this lotion if you have a harsh weather, it may work for you if you use its serum, like about 4 of its serum, not just 1, and that may be too pricey, so I'm rating the product 4/10. i expected more.    

Thanks so much for reading, i hope this article/ review would help you decide to use this poroduct or not. If you have used this product please tell us about your experience with it by commenting.

Review: Eden Extra Whitening Scrub For Face And Body

Hehe, OMG I can't believe I am doing this, in as much as I love using my products, I also love trying other products. I know the struggle of getting a product that can give you an even skin tone Blah Blah. LOL. The truth is, it is certainly not easy.. so I have been asked series of questions about a review on this Scrub. The popular EDEN EXTRA WHITENING SCRUB. The one I used was the one with Tamarind powder and licorice extract. We know the skin benefits of tamarind and licorice. blemishes and blemishes.*eyes Rolling *
The scrub feels very creamy, and I used this scrub when I was in the shower, *whispers* it's best to use scrubs right in the bath. so I used it in the shower and left on my skin for about 15 mins. I really don't like things sitting on my skin for long, after leaving it for long, I rinsed off with lukewarm water, my skin felt really soft. I used this scrub for 3 Weeks and I must say it is a good scrub as it brightened me, but I wanted to test it if really I could use it daily, which I tried doing and then I noticed it was having some rashes on my face and neck. so I stopped using it daily and started using it 5 times weekly on my body and 3 times weekly on my face.
   My take on this product;

• WHITENING:  It only Brightened me up. It didn't whiten me. so it's more like a  brightening or lightening scrub, definitely not Whitening.
• PRICE: I feel it's a little bit over priced, in Nigeria here, where I'm based, it goes for 3500 naira which is kinda affordable for some and not for some too.The average scrubs here goes for 1000 naira.
• CLEANSING: It cleanses deeply I must say.
• SKIN TYPES: To me, if you have sensitive skin, please do a patch test, because I have a hypersensitive skin mixed with a hard skin too. weird right? but that's the truth. it might cause rashes and other skin defects like psoriasis.
• RATINGS: I am going to rate this product a 7/10.

         Thanks so much for reading I hope this helped you to try or not get the product if it didn't meet up to your taste. Have you tried this product? Please tell us your experience by commenting.
