Wellspring Extra Snooze Melatonin Review

I've long been curious with Wellspring Melatonin but I can't justify the purchase, because the original variant only contains 1mg melatonin and 2g sugar per gummy. At that rate, I'll have to eat 2-3 pieces and get 4-6g sugar, so no thanks.
 
The newer variant Wellspring Extra Snooze Melatonin contains 2.5mg melatonin and 1.5g sugar. The dosage is reasonable so I gave it a try, and I LOVE IT.
 
 
This stuff really works, as compared to Natrol 3mg which I used to take (which was not effective at all). My sleep is also not disrupted in the wee hours of the morning. It has a nice, soft texture and it tastes like blueberry gummy with no hints of medicinal taste/smell. It's so good, I have to restrict myself from taking more than one piece. Super happy with this purchase!
 
Price: ₱649 (for 60 pieces of gummies)
Available at Wellspring's Flagship Store in Lazada

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Rose Water Review

Back to office is real so I had to buy a new makeup remover. It's the first time I've seen Garnier Micellar Cleansing Rose Water as I've never encountered it in stores. Turns out, it's online exclusive here in the Philippines. While I'm oily and the blue variant was the "correct" variant to get, I bought this because it's pink. 🤪 
 
 
This variant is made for normal to dry skin, but it cleanses my oily skin well and leaves it hydrated. It's made of rose water with 0% alcohol. It makes my skin glow - I was surprised too! It smells so relaxing, and I look forward to removing my makeup with this. This can remove liquid lipstick well, but it's a struggle to remove waterproof mascara with this. I don't use eyeliner/mascara on a daily basis, so I'm fine with it.
 
Each 400ml bottle is good for 200 uses. 
 
Price: P306

Hello Glow Papaw Balm Review

My go-to VMV Hypoallergenics Boo-boo Balm (₱870 for 8g) is forever out of stock so I had to look for an alternative. Hello Glow Papaw Balm (₱165 for 25g) is a pretty nice and dirt cheap replacement.
 
 
I use this for itchy mosquito bites, dry cuticles, minor cuts/scrapes, and as lip balm. It provides relief but takes a while to be absorbed - don't put too much so it won't feel sticky. The main ingredient is petrolatum (petroleum jelly), and it also contains marula seed oil, papaya enzymes, hyaluronic spheres, and Vitamin E. This is antimicrobial as papaw balms are. Hello Glow states that this product is Philippine-made and is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women. ❤️ 
 
I got this from Hello Glow's Flagship Store in Lazada. You may also backread my detailed review on the Hello Glow All-Natural Whitening Set. 😉
