Unboxing my Snoe Glamourbox

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

It's been a while since I posted an unboxing post. I've been controlling my urge to buy any subscription boxes during the holidays because I know there'll be loads of things on sale I can spend my money on. Haha!

But when I saw that Glamourbox is collaborating with Snoe, I didn't hesitate to buy the box. Snoe is, afterall, one of the few local brands that really impressed me because of its great quality and lovely package designs.

So I received the box today and was surprised on how heavy it was! It got me so excited to open it because just by its heaviness, I knew the money I spent was well worth it already.

And I don't know if I've mentioned it before but I really love Glamourbox's boxes! They are so sturdy that I keep 'em as storage boxes of random stuff. :P

Let's open the box, shall we?

A happy start for 2014 indeed! My first subscription box is a specialty box containing products from one of my trusted brands. What's not to like?

The list of products included in the box are listed on the card along with their prices.

And here are the goodies!!!!

Wooot! So many full-sized products!!! :D

Hair Heroes Agent Zero Cleansing Serum - Php 599.00

Been so curious to try this and finally got one! Yayyy!

Snoe White Beauty bar in Organic Papaya - Php 139.00

Snoe White Beauty bar in Lightening Licorice - Php 139.00

I've been a fan of some of their soaps but I'm not too fond of these two since they are lightening variants. I don't wanna get lighter! :P

Snoe Body Ritual Recipes Whipped Body Frosting Lotion in Honey Dew Melon Yogurt - Php 249.00

This smells soooo GOOOOOD!

Snoe Fizzy Clean Foaming Hand Sanitizer - Php 179.00

This will surely come in handy. I always bring a hand sanitizer wherever I go.

Snoe Bedside Besobalm - Php 249.00

I actually have a handful of lipbalms but I guess this is worth a try.

Snoe Poudre Extraordinaire - Php 799.00 

I think this is the only product that's not in its full-size. Still eager to try and discover why many love this item. 

And that's that!

I'm super happy with this box and I think my payment of Php 1,190.00 (shipping included) was well worth it. Expect these babies to be reviewed soon!

And btw, I also received some samples I ordered from Ellana Minerals and Sample Room yesterday!

Yayyy! Can't wait to try all of these!!! :D

Cheers,

Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal Scrub and Beauty Bar

Hey loves!

Tonight I will share with you a double review once again but from the same brand - Snoe Beauty! I've been loving some of their skin care line that's why I'm willing to try out more products from them...

The products I'll be sharing my thoughts on are items I bought some months ago. They were together in a promo (only bought both for Php 388.00) which saved me around Php100.00... Nice deal, eh?

Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal Beauty Bar and Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal & Milk Whitening Scrub

Let's go over the Beauty bar first...

Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal Beauty Bar

A bar is around P139.00 each.

Some info from the website:

With real oatmeal grains for gentle and effective exfoliation

• Relieves dryness, restoring skin’s natural balance
• Helps to soothe skin irritation and reduce discomfort from skin problems
• Mild, exfoliating soap with whitening action that rejuvenates and softens the skin

Active Ingredients: Oatmeal, Goats Milk, Jojoba Oil, Papain, Vitamin C and E , High Grade Coconut Oil

This bar was recommended to me by the SA since I was looking for a beauty bar that mildly exfoliates. And true enough, it does take care of removing my dead skin cells and reveals a brighter and smoother skin. Although it is exfoliating, it never made my skin dry and it always leave my skin feeling soft and smelling like sweet milky oatmeal. Yum!

Besides doing it's job so effectively, it never gave me any skin irritations. Most probably because it's mostly organic. You will also see some bits of oatmeal in the bar that helps with further exfoliation!

This soap lathers up well. Very foamy which I really like since I feel cleaner when I wash it off. It's probably just psychologic but I just feel like it washes the dirt off my body when it's foamier. Haha! But just like most organic soaps, this bar melts faster. A tip from Liz is that you cut the soap in half or in 3 equal parts so that it will last longer.

Since this sort of does some sort of mild peeling, you should always remember to use sunscreen... well, even if you don't use this, you should always wear sunscreen. :P

And now, the Oatmeal Scrub...

Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal & Milk Whitening Scrub

Some info from the website:

Oatmeal

• Relieves dryness, restoring natural moisture balance to aid in healing minor irritations.
• Gently removes dead skin cells, to reveal softer, smoother looking skin.

Milk

• Rich in vitamins A, D, and E.
• Aids in strengthening skin’s resistance to harsh elements.
• Combats dehydrated skin while exfoliating outer layers of the epidermis.

The ultimate opulent bathing indulgence. It dates back to Cleopatra, who used milk for its rich texture and moisturizing qualities. Snoe White’s Exfoliating Oatmeal & Milk Whitening Scrub uses real milk in the formulations to carry milk’s intrinsic benefits forward.

A delicious way to exfoliate, it is sure to feed your hunger for beautiful whiter skin. Pleasure your body with this appetizing body scrub fortified with Oatmeal that is guaranteed to bring out your inner radiance and polished glow.

How to Use:

Apply gently to wet skin in circular motion. Leave on for 3 minutes, and then rinse off with water.

Warnings:

For external use only. Discontinue use if signs of irritation occur. Do not use on wounds or broken skin. If eye contact occurs, wash with water immediately. Do not swallow product. Keep out of reach of children.

Ingredients:

• Sea Salt, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Carboxymethyl Cellulose, Nonfat Dry Milk, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Meal, JuglansRegia( Walnut) Shell Powder, Cerica Papaya Extract, Fragrance, Citrus Microcarpa (Calamansi Extract), Goat Milk Powder, Yellow 5, Yellow 6

The bottle is sold for Php 349.00 each.

As you can see on the labels (and all products from the brand), you have a complete set of info from product description to ingredients and warnings, even the manufacturing and expiration dates and Batch Code Number!

I use this twice a week usually at my back area and once a week at the rest of my body. It helps exfoliate further my skin. You're probably wondering why I need so much exfoliation... it's because I have so much dark marks from acne at the back area (Curse my acne-prone skin!!!) and the combination of both really made these marks lessen- these products really brighten them!

I use this while I take my shower/bath. I massage it on wet skin gently. The scrubs are gritty and just enough to exfoliate the right amount of dead skin. I like my scrubs gritty but not too rough which can be harsh to the skin. I'm not much of a fan of the scent of this one. When you rinse it off, the skin is so soft and smooth! I feel so young!

And for the scent... I guess, though I like the milk scents, it's just too salty smelling for my taste. :P

And before I forget, I love the packaging! This is for both products. I just love the design and the materials used for Snoe products. It's comparable with products from abroad! I'm a fan of whoever designs them! :)

So that's it for this double review. Obviously, I like these products a lot and they really go hand-in-hand! I'll definitely purchase these again but probably try other scents first. Haha!

Have you tried these products yet? What are your thoughts on them? 


Cheers!
