Finally, after paying Bureau of Customs 8,000 pesos worth of “tax”, we have the package!
Thank you for all the patience and I’m really sorry if I reply too slow..
But the creams are already here and I’ll be working on packing and sending all the orders in the next few days!
I just sold all of it in the course of 2 days ahahaha!
I can’t blame them.. others are selling it at 150 pesos each while I’m selling mine for only 90 pesos each, and 500 pesos for 6pcs.
So far, everything is sold out.
Will update everyone once I have new stocks 🙂
Review will also come in soon! I’m just too busy processing my visa for the US >_<
Thanks to everyone for trusting me ♥
We might finally be able to pick-up the Goree cream today!
I guess we have no choice but to “pay” Customs 5000 pesos…
Oh well!
Hello! I’m back!
As mentioned on the previous entry, I was sick for an entire week 😦
Who would have thought that at 30, I’ll have asthma!
Now I understand how hard it is to have it, I had a hard time breathing for an entire week >_<
I have a lot of products pending to be reviewed!
I had a LOT of spare time last week but I was too weak to even tweet 😦
Now I’m already well so let me start by reviewing a cheap smartphone 🙂
You don’t have to spend a lot to be beautiful, right?
Now, you no longer have to spend a lot to have a smartphone, too!
My current phone is Sony Xperia T2 Ultra.
My fiance gave it to me as a gift when he first visited me here in the Philippines. But due to some unavoidable circumstances, the said phone could no longer be charged properly. I think there’s an issue with the charging port and I need to have it replaced. I work from 12 noon to 9pm and it’s too hard to find the time to have the phone repaired before and after my shift, so I’ve decided to just buy a second phone, one that is just cheap and simple.
My conditions are: it doesn’t matter what brand or model, as long as I can use it to call my fiance via Facebook call. My budget is 2,000 pesos maximum.
I remember that there’s a MyPhone branch in the SM Hypermarket near my workplace, so I went there during my lunch break yesterday.
I was with one of my agents when I went there and she’s the one to point out a model that costs 1,999 pesos in the poster on the wall. I asked if they have one of those, and they said that they ran out of stock. They, however, have one that only costs 988 pesos. At first I heard it wrong and thought that they have one for 9,888 pesos. To my surprise, it is indeed just 988 pesos!
Enter MyPhone’s MY28S smartphone
MyPhone MY28S
Price: 888+100 (forced buying of 100 pesos credits lol)
Where to buy: My Phone Outlets. I’m not sure if SMART sells it too.
More details below
The box says it’s only 888 pesos, but since it already comes with 100 pesos’ worth of credits, the total price is at 988 pesos.
They told me that it’s already quad-core, has a main and a front camera, and already contains Android Lollipop. Too good to be true! But damn, it’s true! Hahahaha!
They said that it’s the same model as the 1,999 pesos unit that is already out of stock. But since it’s locked to the mobile network SMART, it’s already way cheaper.
They only allow one phone per person, and I’m lucky I have my agent with me so I had her “buy” 1 unit and I also bought 1, for a total of 2 units. I’ll use one for myself, and will give the other one to my mom. Awesome!
For 988 pesos, you’ll get the following:
– Phone
– Charging cable
– Charging socket
– A pair of earphones
– 2 sim cards (1 Smart, 1 Talk N Text)
– 100 pesos call and text card
I can’t believe that it’s only for 988 pesos! The phone looks OK too!
By the way, the screen also has a screen protector. Complete package!
Here’s a picture of the earphones that came with the package:
It looks decent and not cheap at all! The sound is also good!
Now let me rate the phone 🙂
Pre-installed Applications (3 out of 5)
I reset the phone to factory settings the moment I got home to make sure that I’m starting anew.
The phone contains the following pre-installed applications:
– Facebook (can be uninstalled)
– Viber (can be uninstalled)
– Twitter (can be uninstalled)
– Instagram (can be uninstalled)
– Spinnr (CANNOT be uninstalled)
– Get iflix (CANNOT be uninstalled)
– Pinoy (CANNOT be uninstalled and idk wtf this app is about)
I’m so glad that the phone did not come with a lot of unnecessary applications pre-installed. Those things make the phone slow. But I still want to uninstall that Pinoy thingie.
Other Features (3 out of 5)
The phone also comes with a built-in radio (which I won’t use). I don’t know what other features does it have, nor do I know what other features am I looking for ahahaha!
Camera (3 out of 5)
The phone will never cease to surprise it’s buyer. Both the front and the main camera have flash! Woohoo!
According to the phone specifications, the front camera is at 2MP, while the main camera is at 5MP. Below are the pictures taken by both cameras with and without flash:
Not bad for 988 pesos, right?
Battery (2 out of 5)
At 1450mAh, you can’t expect long battery life. I tested both phones today to see how long would the batteries really last, and below are my observations:
Performance (2.5 out of 5)
It says quad-core, so it’s supposed to be fast. But even with only Facebook and Messenger installed, there’s already latency. It’s also slow when taking pictures.
When typing, there’s a lag each time you click on the bar where you type the characters.
I tried saving pictures from Facebook Messenger and even though it says “Image Saved”, you won’t find the image everywhere lol
Overall, I won’t even get the average score I gave the different aspects of the phone. Instead, I’ll give it a full 5 points.
Why? It’s not perfect, it’s not the best, but it’s only 988 pesos and it comes with complete accessories plus 2 sim cards and a 100 pesos phone credits. What other phone could surpass that for the price? Yes, iPhones are the epitome of smartphones but are they worth the money?
This phone is worth the money!
It’s the best 988 pesos I have spent on a material thing so far!
Hi Guys!
I was sick the entire week last week so I didn’t managed to reply to everyone’s inquiries 😦
Good news: The cream is already here in the Philippines since last week!
Bad news: It’s stuck at Bureau of Customs 😦
At first they’re asking us to present a licence to sell the product since our box contains 100 pieces of the cream, and now they’re asking for 5,000 pesos before they release the package. I feel bad for my cousin for having to deal with all the customs shit, and I really hope that we can get the package soon. Lesson learned,we won’t ship 100pcs of cream again next time.
I’ll keep you guys updated and will reply to everyone’s inquiry asap.
Sorry for the inconvenience m(_ _)m
Hello!
I received a LOT of messages asking me how to order Goree Whitening Cream, that’s why I made this post.
I will be selling Goree Whitening Cream in this post.
Sadly, I’m a newbie here in WordPress so I have no idea (I tried to look, but I cannot find an option) how to send private messages to people. I also noticed that most of the comments are from non-users of WordPress that’s why I have no idea how to reply to them.
Please note that I can only ship to the Philippines. It’ll be too expensive (and so much of a hassle) to ship outside the Philippines, I’m sorry.
The cream is 500 pesos each, and shipping within Metro Manila is 40 pesos, while outside Metro Manila is 100 pesos.
CORRECTION: BEAM EXPRESS JUST UPDATED ME THAT SHIPPING OUTSIDE METRO MANILA IS 130 PESOS, NOT 100 PESOS
I only accept payments via BPI, Palawan Express, and Cebuana.
Example form:
Name: John Smith
Address: 123 Whatever St. That City, Philippines
Cellphone Number: 0917xxxxxxx
Number of orders: 2
Mode of Payment: BPI
If you have questions, please feel free to comment below.
Thank you 🙂
Armpit Talks #04
I never thought I’d write another entry about an underarm whitening product again. I thought that with RMK, Human Nature, and Cupcake cream, I already solved the girl problem that is dark underarms. But I was wrong!
Well, it’s not me who experienced it, but I am still at awe. My cousin, who already have a kid and is suffering from dark underarms for a long time, just recently discovered an even more effective product.
Goree Whitening Cream
Where to buy: Sadly, it’s only available in Pakistan. But since my relatives liked it so much, my niece decided to order 100 pcs of it to sell here in the Philippines
How much: 550 pesos
Contents: Not stated in the packaging, but it looks like it’s more or less 50 grams. There’s a lot in the jar.
Inside the box is the jar and a small flyer written in middle-eastern characters
The jar is sealed in plastic with English writings about the product
Sorry for the resolution, my camera is not the best 😀
By the way, this cream is not for the armpits alone, okay? It’s actually made for the face and body. So yeah, can be used on the armpits too of course.
The cream is minty green in color, and looks kinda powdery. It smells like detergent bar, which I don’t really like, but it worked wonders on my cousin so who cares? It’s not like I’ll be using it on my face anyway.
I keep on talking about my cousin and how it worked on her, so now it’s time to show you the pictures!
This is how her armpit looked like before she used the cream.
This is how her armpits looked like just a week after using the cream.
She’s taking pictures because she’s really desperate for progress. Good thing she did, because at least now we can post about it hehehe.
One jar is good for a month’s worth of use. After she’s done with her first jar, this is how her armpits looked like:
Yes. That’s the same person. No edits (aside from the watermark), no filters. Even I can’t believe it myself! It took me months of using RMK+Human Nature+Cupcake cream to get pretty armpits, and it only took her a month, and the results are even better. What. The. Hell.
Despite already having whiter armpits thanks to the 3 products that I have mentioned, I know that my armpits could still look even better. I am so adding Goree cream to my ritual starting today!
Just look at that!!

When I was young, I always wondered what those green masks women wear on TV were. You know how at one point in our lives we’ve watched a show or a movie, and a woman is already in her night dress, her hair tied up, cucumber slices on eyes, and green mud on the face? That one.
It wasn’t until last year when I learned what that green mask is. It’s Aztec clay.
Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar to be exact!
Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay
Price: 429 pesos
Contents: 1 lb
Where to buy: Healthy Options
Bragg’s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
Price: depends on where you will buy it. Ranges from 250-500 pesos for a 473ml bottle
Where to buy: Healthy Options, groceries, Mercury Drug
Aztec clay is made specifically to be mixed with apple cider vinegar (or water, but apple cider vinegar is most preferred). It is used to deeply cleanse the pores, and help remove pimples (based on my and other other people’s experience).
If you’re too lazy to read the instructions, just remember NOT TO USE A METAL BOWL AND UTENSIL. Metal will react to ACV and might end up irritating your skin instead of healing it.
A tablespoon (not full) is enough for one mask.
Again, use a non-metal bowl and pour the apple cider vinegar on the clay powder. This soup bowl I used is only 20 pesos.
The proportion should be 1:1 so be careful. Mix it well until if forms a paste.
Use a spatula or a brush to mix the 2 products well. It’s really up to you. I just happened to have a concealer brush that I don’t use, and used it to apply the mask on my face.
Cover your face entirely with the mask. The instructions said leave it on for 10-15 minutes if you have sensitive skin, and 15-20 minutes if not.
A few minutes after applying the mask, you’d feel your skin tighten or “pulsate”, and they really mean it literally! Whenever I use it, I feel like my face is getting smaller 😀
Another tip, don’t talk while the mask is on hahahah!
After 20 minutes, I’m ready to remove the mask!
Removing the mask can be tedious since the mask already hardened. Just be really careful when removing it because you might end up scratching your face. You can use a cold towel if you’re not lazy to wash it afterwards.
Don’t expect your pores to instantly disappear after using this. Even if I had taken before and after pictures, you wouldn’t see that much of a difference because it cleanses from within. But there’s a big difference with the way your skin would feel after using it though! My skin feels really soft afterwards!
I have only spent a total of 680 pesos for both 1 lb of clay and 473 ml of ACV. I think one jar could make around 20-25 masks, depending on how much you’re going to use. For less than 30 pesos per organic deep pore cleansing mask, it’s super worth it!
I have toner, essense, and soothing gels in mine!
From left to right:
Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence
Secret Key Witch Hazel Toner
Hada Labo Essence
Mamonde Rose Water Soothing Gel
Ekel Aloe Vera Soothing Gel
It’s summer and it’s humid, so pores tend to be open. Putting some of your skin care products in the fridge would aid in closing the pores.
Remember:
Heat = Open pores
Cold = Close pores
