Product: RCC Amazing Touch Antibacterial Facial Lotion

I briefly touched on RCC Amazing Touch Antibacterial Facial Lotion on my post about EC27 Guava Soap and RCC Amazing Touch Products. But I feel it deserves a separate review.

As I said in the other post, I stopped using this facial lotion (it's a cleanser actually) and EC27 guava soap for close to 8 months now because I felt they weren't working for me anymore. Since then, I've been trying different facial products, soaps especially including Cyleina Organic Soaps, GT Carrot Soap, Shulammite Carrot Soap, and Mediherbs Anti-Acne Soap but to no avail. For a while, I thought Shulammite was doing a good job of drying out my pimples, but it failed miserably by the time I had my period.

I also used DXN's Ganozhi Toothpaste (yep, you read it right: toothpaste) but that too deserves it's own post. Bottomline is, I wasn't satisfied with the results. So I decided to use RCC Amazing Touch Antibacterial Facial Lotion again, hoping that the immunity period has expired already.

Good thing (or was it the opposite?) that when I went to their nearest branch in Festival Mall, Alabang, they have an on-going buy-2-take-1 promo, so I went home with 3 of this:

It's a specially-formulated product exclusive in RCC Amazing Touch clinics. It has Clindamycin, an antibacterial ingredient commonly used in topical acne treatments. It also contains Thymus Peptides, said to help boost the skin's immune system and fight acne-causing bacteria.

Sheng Reviews Blue Sky Scrubs

No, this is not something that you use for cleaning. Scrubs are medical personnel uniforms and the site, Blue Sky Scrubs offers some of the best high fashion scrubs online.

Why fashion matters?

I'm sure you've seen nurses and even doctors running around in hospitals, clad in dull pajama-looking uniforms. Yes, they are comfortable and perfect for people who need to move a lot. But I'm sure you will agree with me when I say they are hardly fashionable. If you're as gorgeous as George Clooney and Eric Dane or as beautiful as Katherine Heigl, maybe you wouldn't mind. But not everyone is.

Two years ago, when my mother was confined in the hospital a few days before New Year's eve, I bumped into a former classmate who works there as a therapist. I know I was bad, but I couldn't help but comment on how fat he has become. And he said, "it's just the uniform". Well, he is fat indeed, but he was also right about the uniform. It just makes him look more fat.

There's a need to look good.

It's easy to see why Blue Sky Scrubs ventured into creating fashionable medical apparel. The profession should not deter anyone from looking good. The job itself entails a lot of stress, which can make anyone look and feel drab. Wearing colorful and trendy fashion seal medical scrubs might help in breaking the "fattening", "boring" sleepwear fashion that dominates the hospital. I'm sure nurses and doctors alike will welcome the idea of looking fab.

As for quality and service, I only have customers' testimonials to base on. And of course, expect that you will only read positive feedback on their site. But I did a little research and stumble on these reviews. They actually sound like a great medical scrubs supplier. If you want, you can try ordering one of their discount scrub sets, to know for yourself how they will fare in terms of product quality and customer service. But fashion-wise, if you'll ask me, I'd definitely give Blue Sky Scrubs a try.

Product: Opal Conditioner

Opal Conditioner (One Minute Treatment) has been getting a lot of raves from forum members in Girltalk. It's supposed to make your hair softer and smoother. So being someone who's always frustrated with her hair, I have to try and see what the fuss is about with this hair conditioner. My hair, by the way, is what they call "buhaghag" and it is my lifelong dream to wear a black, shiny and naturally straight hair (without having it treated at the salon). I don't expect Opal conditioner to give that to me though, but if it can tame my hair, then that's good enough.

Opal Conditioner is a product from HongKong and locally, it is available at most Watson's branches. They said it comes in many variants/colors, but I bought the pink tube because it's the only available variant at the Watson's branch that I went to. This variant is for deep repairing treatment.

Opal One Minute Treatment (Pink "Deep Repairing" Variant)

The directions on how to use this conditioner can be found at the back of the tube. There it says that you must apply and leave it on your hair for about one minute and then rinse thoroughly. It is also to recommended to use this conditioner twice a week only.
