Review: Little Baby Cupcake Underarm Cream

Armpit Talks #03

I've finally come to the last part of my armpits-related posts!

Last, but certainly not the least, is Little Baby's Cupcake Underarm Cream.

This cream is popular not only in the Philippines, but all around SouthEast Asia.
It's a product of Thailand, but can be purchased in the Philippines via online sellers.

The first time I learned about this was last year. I started getting obsessed with beauty products last year too, and it's one of the things that I discovered during that time.

Little Baby Cupcake Underarm Cream
Price: 350 pesos for a 50 gram jar
Where to buy: Happy Hauler 

There are currently 2 kinds of cupcake cream available right now.

The first one is the original version. The original version's packaging contains vintage drawings of flowers and the aluminum jar is only contained in a small resealable plastic pack. The cream is unscented, much like regular lotion.

The second and newer version is the white chocolate version.

It doesn't really smell much like white chocolate. Or maybe, I was just expecting for it to smell a little sweeter. Only the smell and the packaging have changed, but the effect is still pretty much the same.

Of all the underarm wonders that I have mentioned, this one is the best for me.
Why?
Not only does it whiten the underarm effectively (though not as fast as RMK does), but it also removes "chicken skin". It made my underarm really soft and smooth, just after finishing one jar! A jar would last you around 2 weeks as well, depending on the use. I use it twice a day too, for maximum effect.

Pros:
- Removes chicken skin
- Effectively whitens the armpits
- Won't leave any marks on the clothes
- No more sweaty armpits
- Armpits smell really good!
- Makes your armpits feel soft and smooth

Cons:
- A bit expensive for an armpit "moisturizer" (coz my toner is RMK, and this is my moisturizer)
- Only sold by one reseller so far (or maybe I just don't know the other ones)

To summarize, I use Human Nature's deo stick when I don't want to mess my hands with this cream or if I already ran out of it. I always use RMK before any of the 2 though.

Have you already tried using this cupcake cream before? What can you say about it? Feel free to comment below ;)

Review: RMK Whitening Deodorant

Armpit Talks #02

Another product that made my armpits look better than before is RMK Whitening Deodorant.

It's a liquid-type deo, that looks a lot like a toner. The smell also reminds me of some toner I've already used a long time ago but could no longer remember.

RMK Whitening Deodorant 

Price: 160 pesos for 60ml

            300 pesos for 120 ml

Where to buy: online sellers (there's a lot, but make sure they're legit!)

Active Ingredients:

Calamansi Extract

Licorice

Vitamin C

3% Aluminum Chloride

I just took a shower and used bath salt to scrub my armpits and make sure it's squeaky clean. But despite it all, I still managed to remove a lot of dirt from my 'pits using RMK.

I think RMK works like a cleanser and toner with whitening properties. I've only been using it for 2 weeks and I've already seen significant results. 

Pros:

- Really effective in whitening the armpits! Results can be seen in as short as 1 week. But I've been hearing from others that it still depends on the person. There are some who have already been using it for more than a month and there's still no visible changes. I guess it really depends. But it worked for me!

- No sweaty armpits!

- No smelly armpits!

- The liquid itself doesn't smell bad

- Safe to use even for pregnant and lactating women (according to the other users)

Cons:

- A bit pricey. One 120ml bottle would last you around 2 weeks, depending on the use. For faster effect, I use it twice a day (before going to work and before going to bed)

- Only available online

Tip: After applying RMK, I highly suggest using Human Nature deo stick or any other oil/moisturizer with whitening effect. I use either Human Nature deo stick or Little Baby Cupcake Cream. I will review the cupcake cream on my next post :)

Review: Human Nature Deodorant Stick

Armpit Talks #01

I think it's safe to say that a lot of Filipinas are not confident with their armpits. I am part Chinese and Spanish (though the Spanish side doesn't really show lol) and despite having white skin, I admit that it used to be my problem too!

When I was younger, I tried a lot of drug store deodorant brands. Name it, and most probably I have already tried it. It did helped me with the perspiration part and deodorant part, but skin-wise, it didn't do me any good.

It was too late when I realized that my armpit is already darker than my skin :( It made me conscious and not confident. As an adult, I'm never really fond of wearing sleeveless. Admittedly, underarm issue is one of the reasons. But everything changed when I was introduced to 3 wonderful gems!

From being conscious of my 'pits, now I am confident to let the world see them!

 

First up, is Human ♥ Nature's All Natural Deodorant Stick

- smells really good!

- my armpits became whiter and smoother after just 4 months of use (started using it October 2015)

Cons:

- a bit expensive for a deo, but since one stick lasts around a month, then it's not bad after all

I'd give it a 4.5/5 stars

This is one amazing product!
