Likas Papaya Herbal Soap Review

Likas Papaya Herbal Soap 

If im not mistaken, Likas is a Filipino brand? (correct me if im wrong). and I've been using this many times already. This is actually my third soap. I've been using this on and off cause i wanna try on other cleansers. But i always go back to this whenever i feel like my skintone is getting dull.

I've read online that they are many imitation of Likas Papaya Soap. One blog stated that the original one has a glittery shine on their packaging box(you can see on the first picture), has the superbrand label, and has a clear deep carvings of Likas and their logo on the soap itself.

Apparently, i used to accidentally bought an imitation. but thankfully, it works like the original too. but, now i always make sure i bought the real one instead :)

Pros:

• Brightens and lightens my skintone
• Improves and evens out my complexion
• Treats acne
• Prevents acne
• Ridiculously cheap(bought for $2.30 at Huaho)

Cons:

• Dries out skin
• Hassle to use(might be unhygienic for most people, hard to travel with, slippery) compare to tube cleansers.  

If you're planning to use this, make sure you moisturizes your skin after that. Soap cleansers are more prone to make your skin dry. I think this will go well with any skin type. & make sure you clean your hands before handling soap cleansers! i'd recommended this to anyone who wants to brighten up their skintone. this definitely help mine. even my sister swears by this. ;p again, different skin : different results. so dont blame me if it doesnt work on you :(

Not-Beauty-Related

gonna be random today. i will post a review on this soap cleanser that i should've reviewed a longgg time ago(cause this is my 3rd soap). but i'll post it up tomorrow ;)

Buttermilk Chicken from Kaka Restaurant. I swear this used to be the most delicious butter milk chicken I've ever tasted. But lately this dish kept on disappointing me! i ALWAYS ordered this whenever i went there and i noticed that they're not generous with the chicken anymore and i feel like the taste is getting bland :( i hope they will impress me back the next time i go there. its one of my favorite restaurant. the price is so reasonable! their drinks are generous too! even their nasi katok is my favorite nasi katok in Brunei :3

my niece's birthday cake from Mr Baker. I think this is triple chocolate mousse? seriously, Mr Baker makes the best cakes! at least the best chocolate mousse cake. everyone loved the cake. even my mom! which is a good thing cause she usually critics on sweet foods.

This is from Grazie Mauri. They always held quizzes on their facebook fan page for fans to win vouchers, etc. I won one voucher of free pizza and pasta and i ordered this one. cant remember the name. but it was okay.... i just wish that they would be at least generous with the pepperoni, but oh well, it originally costs $8.50 anyway for 8 slices. and its free. so i cant really complain :P

was going to give this as a present for my niece's birthday. but i ruined it when i colored the skintone, so i gave up on it ;(

i got a call from Polytechnic for an interview in Interior Design and this one is one of my samples in my portfolio. i created this using mydeco.com and it is truly an amazing app to polish up my skills. i hope they are impress with my designs, despite the fact that i mostly stuttered when i explained it to them :( oh and i also got a spot in ITB for an entry test for Internet & Multimedia Development course. BUT i rejected it :( cause it was at the same time and day for my ID interview T-T everyone kept pushing me to choose ITB cause of their better reputation, but ID is more 'me'. i wanna try both though. but but but.... :( ughhh.

not less than 2 months ago, i had this sudden urge to buy a bunny! because of xiaxue's. but i cant find the one that  i wanted(mini holland lop) so i opt for a lionhead dwarf instead. i picked dwarf cause i want a small bunny haha. danial and I named him 'Simba'.

he is soooo friendly! i didnt know rabbits can make such a great housepet! his favourite fruit is apple. lol. but i only treat him one like once in 3 days, cause i read that its not healthy to give rabbits sweet treats often. or else it can cause obesity.

he also sleeps so comfortably(and funny)! i wanna give him his own bed but im afraid he'll pee on it :(

ok ME time!

with the most manja-est cat i ever had, Calico. haha. she was a stray cat btw, saw her wandering around, skinny and hungry, around danial's house(i think i posted about this before). 

i love this kind of 'vintage' effect!

 

me & my husband. :P

 

ok this is the last photo! love this pic, Simba is so adorable when he has no ear haha. oh yeah, look! baby bump ;)
