Belo Nutraceuticals

Being a girl who's a year away from turning 30, I try to look for ways and products that could help me take care and maintain a youthful skin. So when Belo launched this new product, I was giddy to try it out. Luckily, they partnered with Sample Room, where I had the opportunity to grab one.



I was able to get the Belo Collagen Powder (box of 14 sachets; costs Php 1,592.50) and the Belo Glutathione with Collagen capsules (2 packs of 10s capsule; costs Php 480 per pack). This is a very good example on the value that you get with your points, specially if you get the VIP package!

Moving on. I'm very skeptic when it comes to powder drinks since I don't like altering the taste of my food /drink. But, after reading the Editor's Pick full review from Sampleroom, I had high hopes for this product that it would not taste bad. Unfortunately, it did...

I first mixed it with my evening coffee, and it made a drastic, unappealing, change in the taste. It actually reminded me of the taste of the antibiotic, Amoxicillin, which I hate. I still forced myself to finish my drink since it would be such a waste not to and I do want to save my skin from any more internal deterioration. I also took it with the Belo Glutathione with Collagen capsules.



For the second day, I tried mixing the collagen powder with a different coffee brand, hoping that the taste would improve. Again, it didn't...it felt like I was sipping on melted antibiotics. :(

After a few more tries, I finally discovered that it goes well with cream soup. I prefer pumpkin, but any cream based soup will do.

On another note, it's very convenient to bring since it is packed in small sachets. However, the sachet can't be easily torn using your fingers. Also, it doesn't really dissolve easily, even though the water that I use is really hot.

I've actually consumed all the contents of the box and the capsules, and I noticed that my skin now has a natural glow and feels healthier. I believe that these products are best taken together for optimum results. The price is a bit steep, but I know that the product will work better with continued use, so I might consider purchasing it.

Thank you so much Sample Room and Belo Nutraceuticals!

My Sampleroom VIP Gift

Last October 24, 2014, I availed of Sampleroom's VIP Package. Like what I mentioned in my previous entry, the new VIP Package costs Php 799 and samplers get the 1,000 points plus a free gift.

I've seen a lot of exciting items that Sampleroom gave as their VIP gift, and this made me even more excited to receive mine.

Today I got my VIP gift and I was left speechless. This is why...

           

I got a full size (40ml) Ferrari Light Essence Eau de Toilette which retails at around Php 1,700. This alone is worth more than the VIP fee, plus you still have the 1,000 points that you could use to purchase products. I already have a few items with me that I'll be writing about in the near future.

The new VIP membership is really worth every penny!

Thank you so much Sampleroom!!

Cream Silk Damage Control and Belo Intensive Whitening Bar

I ordered a few samples from Sampleroom last October 22, 2014 and the same were delivered on October 24, 2014. Just in time for me to try them out during the weekend.

Sampleroom has a very colorful and cute new packaging. I love how they made it more playful and appealing.



My loot:

        

Cream Silk Damage Control Daily Treatment Conditioner

I love that it's a conditioner and treatment in one, it makes me save so much time in the shower. The first thing I noticed when I squeezed the product was that it had two colors, a white stripe and a pink stripe. As per the label, the pink strip is the treatment while the white stripe is the conditioner.

It has the same consistency with the previous version of the product and lathers very well on hair. My hair usually gets all dry and tangled up after I rinse off my shampoo, that's why I always use a conditioner. Upon application, I immediately noticed that my hair became softer and all the tangles were gone. It's also easy to rinse and doesn't leave a sticky feeling. I also love the mild scent that it leaves on the hair.

I have a very sensitive scalp, and it's really hard for me to find a replacement conditioner. I always use Cream Silk Dandruff Free, since it's able to tame my scalp from itching and flaking. I was hoping that the other Cream Silk line would be able to do the same, unfortunately, after 3 days of use, I already feel a slight itch and flaking on my scalp.

I love the fact that this product is able to make my hair look and feel healthier and I think that it will work well for those who's scalp is not that sensitive. As for me, I'll probably be combining this with my usual conditioner.

Product Rating: 4 / 5

Belo Intensive Whitening Soap

For the longest time, I've been looking for a whitening soap that could actually bring back my fair skin without going through any visible peeling. It's not that I'm dark, I just want to remove the tan lines that I have which make my skin visibly uneven when I wear a tank top.

I've bought and used this product before, and I can say that it was able to provide results. It doesn't give you that drastic, instant whitening effect, but I can say that with continued use, it will deliver your desired results. That's why when I saw Sampleroom restock this item, I immediately grabbed one and am now in the pursuit to regain my fair skin.

My only complaint about this product is that it melts easily. You really need to cut it into strategic portions (good for 2-3 showers) so that the entire bar doesn't melt.

Product Rating: 4.25 / 5

Thank you so much Sampleroom for providing us with an avenue to test products before we buy them, or just to avail of products that we really like without spending anything!

More sampling to come. ^_^

One Happy Sampler ^_^

I've always been a fan of skin care, body care, hair care, and other products that can pamper my body. Luckily, about 2 years ago, Sample Room was launched.

Sample Room is basically a website wherein you get to sample different products for free (you only pay the shipping costs). Upon registration, you are granted with an initial 100 points which you can use to "purchase" your desired product. Each product has a corresponding point, and once you spend your points, you get to earn them back by rating and writing a review of the product you have chosen. It's really simple, and a lot of fun, sometimes you get a full size for a sample which makes it even more worth it!

I've been a member of Sample Room since December 3, 2012 and I was able to get a few good deals from sampling. During 2013, they launched the VIP Program wherein you can choose to purchase 1,000 points and get VIP status for Php 699. These points are re-usable for a period of two months. I availed of this last January 7, 2014 and I was able to maximize my points and get more than my money's worth! Here's a few of the items that I was able to try:



Recently, Sampleroom just launched a new VIP Program, wherein you shell out a minimal amount of Php 799 to get the 1,000 points and VIP status, but this time, you get a free gift package! Now that's what I call a steal! What makes it a lot better is that you get the free gift package EVERY TIME you sign up for VIP membership.

Other than that, listed below are the benefits that a VIP member gets.

 

I'm really excited to avail of their new VIP Program and I can't wait to see what's included in their free gift!
