Review: Celeteque Cleanse-Tone-Moisturize Kit

I've been using PONDS since collage.. without causing any break outs.. but as the time goes by.. the brand upgraded its packaging.. I notice some changes in the product too.. (now I know that every-time a brand/product change its packaging, the ingredients were  changed also) so I decided to try other brand.. and bloggers community helped a lot.. they share their Skin Regime also.. and im sharing mine too, recently i switched to CELETEQUE and here's my short review.. 

Everything you need to maintain honestly good skin is in one convenient, ready-to-go step skin care kit from CELETEQUE

Cleanse-Tone-Moisturize. 3 easy steps twice a day. That’s all it takes to get what you’ve always wanted-honestly good skin you can bare without makeup or cover ups

1. Cleanse with Celeteque Facial Wash to gently remove dirt and impurities
2. Tone with Celeteque Alcohol-Free Toner to recondition your skin for moisturizing
3. And moisturize with Celeteque Facial Moisturizer for smooth and supple skin up close

Hypo-allergenic

Non-comedogenic (Does not clog pores)

Fragrance Free

REVIEW: Pepsodent Whitening Toothpaste

Im looking for a toothpaste that could suit my needs: (1) "fresh breath" in the morning and that is (2) "budget-friendly

My friend and officemate Lory recommend to use PEPSODENT, so i tried one.. In my surprise, the tiny tube is like the price of other brands in a sachet form. In short, this new toothpaste promised the same amount of freshness yet budget-friendly.

PRODUCT INFO FROM BOX:

·         Naturally whiten teeth in two weeks

·         Helps remove stains on teeth

·         Keeps teeth healthy and strong

·         Freshens breath

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Do not swallow. Rinse and spit out after use. For children 6 years and below, use only a pea-sized amount for supervised brushing to minimize swallowing. In-case of intake of fluoride from other sources, consult a dentist or doctor. Visit your  dentist regularly and brush at least twice a day with Pepsodent Whitening

RETAIL PRICE: PHP 34.00 ($0.79) at Puregold Biñan.

WEIGHT: 75g

I love trying different brands of toothpaste that is very much budget friendly, and does its job just fine. Thank you for recommendations Lory.

What is your toothpaste brand that you trust and would definitely recommend to us fellow bloggers?

Thank you.
