Goodbye #9: Byphasse Hair Keratin Liquid ⭐☀︎

I was worried when I made the hauls from the Semi Annual Sale of Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret as I've added at least a dozen or so in my clutter. But when I look around and check all the items I discarded I didn't initially know that the numbers actually reached 100+. Well those items I emptied alone by now are 60 and counting.
Goodbye Post Series is also part of my project to unclutter the room. Byphasse Hair Keratin Liquid is an affordable and okay hair product but it is not the answer to my concern on how to make my hair look thinner and buhaghag free. And since the expiration date is at least 2 years from now on it will be included in my cargo. Will hand it down to my sister. There's actually 3 bottles of it. I only found out when I've started clearing the bedside drawer.

That's all for now.
Thanks for dropping by.
An item a day clears the clutter away. ♥

Empty Tube 44: Byphasse Keratin Liquid 🌸

Please note that this is not a meticulous review of the product. And I view ALL hair products just the same. But I'm writing this anyway as this is part of my 'Pan Project' that will go on until end of this year. Means I'm finishing off whatever products I have in the room as I badly wanted a clutter free space. And at the same time avoiding hoarding products even though I made some hauls last month. ☺
And this post also is sort of loaded with photos so for those who are interested in this product you'll know how it looks like.
Byphasse Keratin Liquid
Price: 15.00AED
Promo: 3 pieces for 30.00AED
Made in EU

Purchased at Tati MCC
Purchased on 2015

Tried taking photos of the back of the bottle as product information and ingredients are written there. But photos are not clear as after years of photography I still suck haha.
Whenever I see Keratin the first thing that comes to my mind is a product that straighten the hair. But when it comes to Byphasse Keratin Liquid what it does to hair is to make it more shiny and silky. And yes it delivers. But then it will not make me repurchase nor use the remaining bottles at home as I was and I am looking for something entirely else. I have a thick and buhaghag (loose) hair and the only way that it will looks thin is if I will go on hair rebond. I don't have any other hair issues aside from that. So in the end products that can give extra shine or glow or softness to my hair does not really mean anything to me. But sadly that's all the hair products I used can only offer.
I still have another bottle at home which I'll be sending to my younger sister. But I'm not too sure if she'll enjoy it as I think whatever hair concerns I'm having will still be the same thing with hers. Were siblings after all.
Because of my experience with it I'm not too interested anymore with other hair products sitting in the flat. Waiting for me to use and finish them. Next time around I'll just save my money so I can visit the good old Chinese Salon nearby and get my hair rebounded.
Aside from Byphasse Keratin Liquid I also managed to finish 3 more photos that can be seen in the photo and I might have share already some of them. But inspite this is being a 44th product down for me I still have a long way to go. I will not repurchase any of these products by the way.
Last time I have at least 6 bags of skin care products at home (that's why I had to buy a new bag as I can't use my other bags because of it) but now I managed to emptied out 1 bag. That's how my 'Pan Project' going on now. Hopefully after my vacation I'll check the make up next. To sort what to throw or give away.

That's all for today.
Thanks for dropping by.
Till my next empty post again.

Empty Bottle 41: Byphasse Toner 🌸

Byphasse Rose Toner
Price: 8.00AED
Purchased at Tati MCC
Purchased on 2015
Made in EU
Hi Ladies!
Sorry this is not a thoroughly review of the product. Well first of all toner is a facial product that helps us clean our face from any remaining residue of make up and cleanser. Some people says it is just a waste of money. While some says it is a must. A year ago I would say it is a must. But not anymore. If I have them fine I would use it but if not its fine with me also. I can live with or without it.

The good thing about Byphasse toner is it is very affordable. And the bottle is 500ML so it will last you for a very long time. It is non alcohol so it will not dry out your skin. Rosewater said to be good in maintaining the PH balance of the skin as well as controlling the oil. But then my nose is the oily part of me face.

I can't think of anything I dislike about this product. But I will not repurchase as I still have other toners at home to finish. And since I don't use make up anymore the less I need to use a toner. If you don't wear make up then all you need to clean your face when you get home will be water and facial wash. Next photo is the back of the bottle where the ingredients are written for those who wants to know.
I kept on saying that for the month of May alone I finished at least 50 bottles of different products. On this photo shows the toners I've managed to finished and I think mostly I have written already here. These brands are gentle on the skin. Does not contain Alcohol. Does not contain Paraben.
Here are the two products of Byphasse that I would recommend. Their Micelle Solution and of course together with the their toner. I managed to finish both after a year.
Okay as I have said I'm decluttering the room. I have said that a hundred times already. I have said also that I will not make hoard anymore. But then as the last week of May approaches I broke that vow. As I made a haul from my two favorite shops in the UAE. Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret as they were having their semi-annual sale. At this point in my life I'm no longer concern with the supposed to be skin problems. I'm just now trying hard to maintain having hydrated skin and soft if possible. And so I'm into scrubs, moisturizers and oil. And my the said two brands happen to be creating scents that I'm enjoying. And in the UAE market US brands tend to be more affordable than UK/European brands. As of Byphasse I haven't purchase anything yet from them as Tati Shop no longer offers something new. There are items I'm seeing via Social Media that are not available in Tati UAE like Byphasse scrub.

And so in the following days you'll see my posting hauls I made which is very opposed to my supposed to be 'Panning Project'. But anyway I'm still hopeful that I'll clear all the items I have at the end of this year even if I stray a little from my no hoarding vow. That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by. ♥

Goodbye #3: Byphasse Cleansing Lotion ⭐☀︎

This post is still a part of my Goodbye Post Series. As I'm decluttering the room. I'm organizing which items I have to give away. And what are the items I can use and finish.

For today's post it is about Byphasse Cleansing Lotion. I got it during sale last year at Tati Department Store in Mirdif City Centre. A bottle of 500ML costs only 11.00AED. Well I'm not sure what 'cleansing' part means for this lotion. But I can assure you that it works as body moisturizer. I have taken at least 2 bottles of it. And now I'm handing them over to my niece who happens to also love lotions. Byphasse products smell good ~ but in a short span of time I've grown out of it.

I'm clearing away one item at a time. As I'm too busy at work. Actually almost all my time goes to work. Wakes up early in the morning. Go to work. Go home. Cook and have dinner. End of the day. Weekends eat and take a swimming for an hour. Go to grocery. Go to a shop if you have something to purchase. End of weekend. Back to work again. Yes I am the LIVING DEAD.

Empty Tube 30: Byphasse Gel Face Wash 🌸

Byphasse Gel Face
0% Soap
Price: 19.00AED
Sale Price: 15.00AED
Made in EU
Purchased at Tati MCC
Purchased on 2015
For those who doesn't like to hear my stories but landed on my page to know if its good or not: well I did not like it. And I can't think of something to like about it. If soap free is your thing then you'll love it. But its not my thing. I don't believe that soap is bad for our body or face. I mean come on it has been part of a human skin cleansing regime for the longest time. And I never heard anyone died because of it.

Now here's my story: I discovered Tati Department Store last year. Well thanks to Google I've known that this is a French department store that sells affordable items. And thru Tati I was introduced to Byphasse. A Spanish brand of affordable skin care products. I became interested as when I first saw Byphasse prices were really, really low. As opposed to all the other brands I have seen in UAE market. So even without reading reviews I went ahead and made a haul for myself. I've tried so many things from Byphasse: Micelle Solution, Rose Water Toner, Body Washes, Body Lotions and others that I can't remember now.

Price ~ 15AED is affordable but 19AED? No. There are facial washes in the UAE market that retails as low as 7AED. But then if you are someone who uses soap less face wash then this is the most affordable in the market in that category.


Scent ~ It does not have any scent. Not that I care anyway. But it doesn't foam up either. Which makes me dislike it. Since it does not foam up I have doubts if it was really able to clean up my face.

I managed to finish this one as I've said that I'm not the type who throws away products just because I don't like it. Throwing it away without using it equates to me throwing my money away. But even if I dislike it at least a lesson learned from me. To never buy it again. And stick to the brand I'm using. And never again to soap less face wash.

This Empty Post is still a part of my decluttering process of my room. Will not buy anything until such time I seem my room and the bathroom clear of the products I own. So no more hauls for me. The only exception would be body oils that I'm very much interested it. And I'm itching to buy that I can't help mentioning it every time. That's all for now. Thanks!

Empty Tub 23: Byphasse Hair Pro Mask ♚

Let me start by saying that it would be a big help if one has a before and after photos of the mess or the room, when organizing and decluttering. Photos are visual proof or reminder that somehow there has been a progress. Even though the end results take time. Because honestly there are times that I feel so impatient. But then looking at my place now compared before there has been an improvement. I filled up 2 little boxes of items I'm going to send to my little sister. Clothes I never used. Clothes I used once. Clothes that does not fit me anymore. Skin care products I wont be using. Glass wares I wont be using. Little things that might be useful to other people but not to me. This 'Empty Bottle' posts too help me somehow. As time goes by I'm realizing that I don't need much products in my life. In fact I even made a vow to myself never again to buy another make up. And lesson learned never to hoard again just because they are on sale. But admittedly there were hoarded items that has been useful to me like the Daiso Charcoal Nose Pore Strips and Nectar of Nature Wax Strips.
Another lesson I learned out of it all is that when you found a brand that you trust better to stick with it than doing a trial and error. Because doing so in the long run you'll just be losing a huge amount of money and might be left using a product you dislike. It would have been great if companies are giving out samples first. But I don't see that being practiced here in the UAE. Even Aster Pharmacy who used to give out samples are not doing so anymore. And not all the products have tester either. Especially with drug store products. Whoah that's a very long introduction when my topic is supposed to be for the Byphasse Hair Pro Mask. And I believe that I already posted this one before. This is a good product but remember being a good product does not mean that it will be good for me. As a customer/consumer I have my own set of expectations. I'm trying out products to see if they can work beyond their claims and promises.
Byphasse is a Spanish brand of cosmetics and very affordable and in the UAE market it is available in Tati Deparment Store at Mirdif City Centre. I found it last year and purchased quite a lot. I'm trying to share them all here as they are good and so their prices. They may not be my thing but it could be perfect for someone else out there. Byphasse Hair Pro Mask retails between 25AED to 30AED and I forgot the exact amount as it has been months. It is Made in EU. And a huge tub of product. But since I have a thick hair it lasted on me for only a week or so. People says that you should use a hair mask only once a week. But I don't know I was crazy to use it differently. Was it everyday or every other day? Can't remember now. The end results? It has given my hair an extra softness than the usual. BUT even so it does not make me repurchase another hair mask nor add it up to my regime. Because for the simple reason that I was not aiming for an extra soft hair. And I wanted is to have a buhaghag free hair that seems like only hair rebonding can do.
And so that's it. If you want a softer hair but you don't want to spend going on a salon or don't have time to do so you should try Byphasse Hair Mask. But if you are like me who has a thick hair and buhaghag most of the time then I'm sorry to tell you that no hair mask in the world can help you with it. I would rather save my money just so I can go to a Chinese Salon for hair rebonding that would cost me only 200AED plus tip than spend my money in hair products that will never give me a buhaghag free hair. 
But as I look at my dresser I still have at least 4 or 5 hair products that I'm trying to finish. All of them are the same. Makes hair shiny and soft but won't make my hair thin or look like thin. Will share about them soon.

And about my favorite brand Victoria's Secret ♥

VICTORIA'S Secret Weightless Body Oil ~ I purchased it over the weekend because the Victoria's Secret UAE shop was on promotion of 2 products for 85.00AED. I had been eyeing it for weeks now but I was holding back because of the price. Normally a bottle would cost 85.00AED and I find it too expensive. I wonder why they are not using the term Buy 1, Take 1. Initial impression: I think it will be one of my favorites from now on. It is oil but it is not greasy. Works well with the Victoria's Secret Deep Softening Body Butter. I know this is meant for body but I'm wondering if I could use it on my face too? I'm looking for blogs about this but I can't find much. So maybe one of these days if I'm crazy enough I'll try it on my face and on my hair..

Empty Tube 18: Byphasse Hand Cream ♚

An empty bottle thrown a day means one less clutter in my tiny place. And I'm making a progress with uncluttering the room. There are at least 7 months left before the year ends. And no matter how small the clutter that I'm throwing away still it will be a big help in the long run. Aside from cleaning the mess I'm avoiding wasting product too as I'm making sure to use them up to the last bit. While not buying anything yet until such time I finish them all.
Byphasse Nourishing Hand Cream
Price: 12.00AED
Made in EU
Purchased at Tati MCC

It has been months since I purchased and used it up and once again this is another tube lying in the house along with the rest of my stash. As of the price this is the most affordable in the UAE market. As of the moisturizing agents I can say that this is good. As a matter of fact I cannot find any cons with this product. Scent is very subtle. Because for me it has a little hint of vanilla. And that is another one empty bottle down for me.

Thank you for visiting my page.
Till my next post again.
Which is probably about another empty bottle.

BATH & BODY WORKS UPDATE:
They announced via Instagram that the DUCK is back. Meaning they are having a massive sale. And since some people are quite addicted to Bath and Body Works that I decided to ask one of them if Aromatherapy and True Blue Spa are included. Sadly these 2 lines were not. The sale is only for the Signature Collection. And once again scents that I don't know or recognize. I became a customer only last quarter of 2015. And unfortunately Signature Collection Line is too sweet for my liking. If I don't personally like it how can I give it away as gifts? I might need to look else where for gifts.

Empty Bottle 2: Byphasse Hair Conditioner

Byphasse Hair Conditioner
Price: 11.00AED
Made in EU
I'll share it again ~ Byphasse is a brand from Spain that aims to produce affordable products. And in UAE it is available in Tati at Mirdif City Centre. Tati is being marketed as French department store with affordable clothing and household items but I don't consider their items falling into the affordable category. But anyway that is not the topic here.

Just want to share another empty bottle p0st and this time it is Byphasse Conditioner. There is nothing special with this conditioner except that it is affordable. And the scent is just a so and so. Will I repurchase? No. Cream Silk is pricier than this but that is the only conditioner that gives my hair a silky touch feel.

Byphasse Hair Mask

Byphasse Hair Mask
Retail Price: 25.00AED [500ML]
Sale Price: 18.00AED
Available at Tati Mirdif City Centre
Made in EU
Byphasse is a Spanish brand of cosmetics with the goal of providing affordable products for all. And in the UAE market it is available in Tati Department Store. Tati on the other hand is a French department store with the same goal as Byphasse. Hence, all the products in the said store are inexpensive. But Tati has only one branch in UAE and it is located in Mirdif City Centre.

I'm not into hair masks but I purchased it anyway just to experience it and since it was on sale. It is very simple to use. Just after the shampoo and conditioner wash your hair and apply the Byphasse hair mask. Leave on for a few minutes then rinse.
The results? I did not notice any difference in my hair. Maybe because this tube lasted for only a few days for me. Or just maybe it is my hair. I always have a full and coarse hair that is quite hard to handle. Maybe it will work better for those with thin or fine hair.

Byphasse Nourishing Hand Cream

Byphasse Nourishing Hand Cream
Sale Price: 9.00AED
Available at Tati Mirdif City Centre
Made in EU
www.byphasse.com
Byphasse is a Spanish brand of skin care with the goal of providing affordable products to all. In the UAE it is available in the Tati shop. Tati shop is a French department store that sells affordable clothing, household items and cosmetics. So far they only have one branch in Dubai and that is in the Mirdif City Centre. They opened last November 2014 if I am not mistaken. I visited their shop only at the second quarter of the year and I'm a regular customer ever since. I hoarded products when they were on sale. One of them is the Byphasse Nourishing Hand Cream. 

I always have a dry hands no matter what is the weather. Be it summer or winter. And since last year I had been using different brands of hand cream. At the end of the day no matter how good the product is I still have a dry hands. Even though I drink a lot of water and watch my diet carefully. I have a dry skin as long as I can remember. And I need to keep on using a hand moisturizer and body creams. I consume a lot. And I used to love expensive French brands but then I can't always afford them so just imagine my happiness when I stumbled upon Byphasse. They proved that taking care of our skin doesn't have to cost a fortune.

Byphasse hand cream comes in white tube with pink cap. I love it because I simply love pink. It is so girlie. This is really what you can call a value for money as the tube is 150ML compare to other hand creams in the market that only contains 75ML. Will I purchase again? Maybe, if they will be on sale again.

Current Brands I'm Using

I still have so many items that I would like to share with all of you. Why am I doing so? Well even here in the Middle East the price of gasoline became high. And expect the prices of other goods to follow. I personally don't like it but then just like the rest there is nothing I can do about it but just take it or leave it. Even if the cost of living is so high that it's hard for all to make ends meet BUT still we are all consumer. We all have to eat. We all buy cosmetics. And women like me still buy make up. We still have other needs. 

What I am doing is to keep on looking in the market for the items that would cost less than the other brands we all know. And I want to share them more of public awareness that a certain product exists. No photos for me to share now but here are some affordable brands that I'm using and they are available in UAE Market. I think blogs help as sometime we will not just pick up a brand that we don't know about. When we shop we usually go for brands that we trust. We trust because we had been using it since forever or we see them all the time in advertisements. Or personally recommended by a friend. Blogs introduces us to many brands we don't know exists and actually good. Brands that will not pay for advertisements so they can keep their prices low. Since ads can cost a fortune.

Daiso ~ this is a Japanese shop that we can all compare to a Dollar Store. As much as I can I am writing posts about items that I purchased from them. I know there are still people who are skeptical to use Daiso products but please at least try as I am a living proof that not because they are cheap means they are harmful. I had been shopping to since late last year and it helps to stretch my budget. 

Byphasse ~ it is a Spanish brand of cosmetics that happens to be so affordable and in Dubai it is available in the Tati Shop. Unfortunately there's only one Tati Shop and it is in Mirdif City Centre. I don't know if there are any plans of expansion. I hope so.

Nectar of Nature ~ it is a French brand of affordable cosmetics and available in Carrefour across the UAE. So far the items I tried are water mist, wax strips and body washes. So far so good.

Now to get the best deal I usually buy when there is an on going promo or sale. But not with Daiso. They'll never go on sale as their prices are already the cheapest in the market. Even though I am enjoying these brands for now I will still try to look for cheaper brands if ever there is. And expect me to share them all with you. That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by. Feel free to leave me a comment if there is any questions or suggestions. Good night!

Just another Byphasse Haul from Tati

Ramadan is over. Supposed to be during Ramadan we should have 2 days off but then management of each department has the last word. If they say that Friday is the only off day for us then there is nothing we can do about it. Complain and you are the villain. And I know that a lot of OFW's have longer working hours than us so I have to tell myself that it wasn't so bad and I must just comply like the rest of my colleagues after all I have to work to survive. So finally when it's over I had my two days off over the weekend. Friday is the counterpart of Sunday in the Philippines. All offices across the UAE are closed during Fridays. Saturday well that's my day off. Years ago we used to spent the weekends or holidays roaming around the country or the nearby country. But time has changed. Life gets busier. And so my weekend was nothing new compared to all the weekends I had. This is not exactly a complain (defensive mode haha) just feel like sharing it for those who plans to move in the UAE to work. So not surprising that I was in the Mirdif City Centre and since I was there I checked if Tati Shop is still on sale. For those who doesn't know and visited my page for the first time ~ Tati is a French department store that sells affordable clothing, household items and cosmetics. Cosmetics brand that they carries are Modelite, Evoluderm and Byphasse. Broke that I am I spent my remaining precious dirhams on Tati. I'm supposed to spend in food but ended up spending it in toiletries and so be it. In short this post is about my another Byphasse haul from Tati and here they are:
This time around I got myself Byphasse Body Wash and only 1 Byphasse Baby Cleansing Lotion. Each items are 500ML and so far they are the cheapest brand I can find in the UAE. As soon as I get time I will write a separate post for each well better term will be a photo blog as I don't have much to say but to show a lot of photos so the you can be familiar with the product even without seeing it personally.
All these Byphasse items were on sale. Discount was no more than 5AED but it was still a discount nonetheless and if you are living on a tight budget like me you'll understand where I am coming from and why even this small amount of discount matters a lot and already a big help. The most expensive on this batch is the 1Litre body wash for sensitive skin that costs me 17.00AED. 

I'm sorry if I keep on repeating about my financial status is almost every post that I am writing. I'm not asking for people to pity me. I have to state it because until now there is an impression back home about OFW's. As if we have overflowing money in our bank accounts so we can always afford to shop. That is making me state my reasons why do I hoard and when do I hoard? And how on earth can I afford to hoard at times? There are sacrifices being made in each time I'm spending my hard earned money. If I spent the money on food that food would last only for a week or more but then I spent it on toiletries which will last for months and by the time I finish it all then probably there is a sale again and I'll be stocking up again.
This Byphasse body wash has six variants and I have chosen only 4 variants with smell that I like the most. I don't want to get them all then end up with a short money when I'm about to pay :)
Thanks for dropping by to my page and I'll do a little more research about this product like why it is good for the skin as I tend to ignore that very important information. I only seem to care about the smell and the price. Forgetting that some people are visiting the page hoping for further details.

Byphasse Micelle Solution

Byphasse Micelle Solution
Price: 18.00AED @ Tati Shop in MCC
Made in EU
Byphasse is a brand of cosmetics from Barcelona, Spain. The aim of the brand is to provide skin care products to all at an affordable price. They said to be distributing their products at 50 countries worldwide but honestly I didn't know about them until recently. It was sometime in April or May when I first visited the Tati Shop in Mirdif City Centre. Tati on the other hand is a department store from France that carries affordable clothing. Aside from the clothing they also carries skin care and make up products. They carry Byphasse and Evoluderm. In the UAE market I haven't seen them anywhere else but on Tati.

Micelle Solution is a facial cleanser/makeup remover that consists mainly of water making it the safest and most gentle product out there. Well there are small molecules of oil suspended in the water but then it majority of the ingredients is water. The reason why this has become so famous. If I'm not mistaken Bioderma is the pioneer. But then Bioderma is quite expensive and there are still countries/areas in the world that it is not available. So it is good to know that now there are too many drug store brands of micellar water to choose from now. It is not meant to be a facial wash but a cleanser to remove the makeup.
Sans Parabene of Paraben Free seems to be trend when it comes to skin care products in Europe. As I see it in almost every European cosmetics I purchased. There are people who believes that parabens can cause cancer that they are avoiding products containing this ingredient. As for me I am not really keen into avoiding products with parabens at all. If I'm using something without it then it's good but if it has I don't mind as long as the product will perform well as expected. Micellar water is the perfect product for people with sensitive, dry or irritated skin.
My experience with Byphasse Micelle Solution: well my experience will surely differ from others as I don't wear heavy make up or complete make up. Even if I wear one the whole day I use a facial mist a lot especially now that it's summer time and the brands I'm using doesn't seem to be long lasting even when I use a make up base so at night when I come home there is hardly make residue at the cotton pad. But just some dirt. So in removing make up I can say that Byphasse delivers. Actually all the micelle solution I have tried. But if I were to compare Byphasse to Bioderma this one seems to be a little sticky but not always it could be the other products on my face but nevertheless Byphasse can compete.

I use it to remove my eye make up. I can say that it is safe to use as it doesn't sting. Whenever I'm using a product I'm always watching out if it will feel like drying my skin. Or it will irritate me my skin. If none of those happened then the product is good enough for me. And so I'll say that Byphasse is a good product. And a good deal that you'll get a 500ML for it's price. But as of June 2015 the price became 20.00AED. Even so it is still the cheapest brand of micelle solution in the UAE.
Added this photo to show how it works. The first swatch is the Essence Lipstick I applied at least 3 or 4 layers so it was heavy. The yellow one is a Mac eye shadow in gold shade. Last is the Daiso Mascara which happens to be waterproof. But I don't always use mascara. Maybe at least twice a month?
Here's the result after using one cotton pad with Byphasse Micelle Solution.

That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by and I hope this post of mine is helpful to some of you. Till next time.

Byphasse + Evoluderm Haul at Tati Shop

Last Friday I visited the Tati Shop in Mirdif City Centre. For those who doesn't know Tati, it is a department store from France that carries affordable clothing. Admittedly my first impression with anything about France is associated with the word expensive. Only now that the impression is shifting. France just like any other countries in the world has expensive and dirt cheap products. But for me not all items from Tati are really dirt cheap not unless they are on sale. And they happened to be on sale when  I went to their shop.  But if you will compare their price range with other brands coming from France then they are definitely affordable. Tati carries not only clothing items they also have make up (Modelite Makeup) and skin care products. As of skin care they do have Byphasse which is a brand from Spain or a collaboration between Spain and France. And also Evoluderm. Evoluderm is a another French brand of affordable cosmetics. I wanted to pick up some shirts that costs only 9.00AED but I had to choose what I need urgently? Couple of new shirts or cosmetics? It is the latter. I can't afford to have both anyways. So here's my haul from Tati shop consists of Byphasse and Evoluderm:
Price range from 9AED to 18AED. Afterwards I went to Carrefour to compare prices with other French brands like LCS and Nectar of Nature to be sure that I really got a good deal. Byphasse and Evoluderm normally carries the biggest size. So seeing 500ML is very common in them. It is now summer in the UAE and my skin becomes drier that I consume a lot of creams. I used to be a fan of some expensive brands but not anymore since whatever the price range is both can do the same job.
Prices for those who wants to know:
Byphasse Hair Mask ~ 18.00AED
Byphasse Baby Cleansing Lotion ~ 11.00AED
Byphasse Gel Wash ~ 14.00AED
Byphasse Hand Cream ~ 9.00AED
But please bear in mind that these are sale prices. If they are not on sale there's a price difference between 2AED to 5AED. And for us who are in a tight budget this matters.
Evoluderm Hand Cream ~ 9.00AED
Evoluderm Lotion ~ 12.00AED
As of the quality they are good enough. I mean nothing extraordinary that will blow your mind but not bad either. For example the lotion will moisturize you enough but nothing extra like it will whiten your skin or something like that. Or will work as anti aging and the likes. But at least they don't have empty promises. The only downside is Evoluderm and Byphasse has a lot of products to offer but then in the UAE market it is quite limited. I hope Tati UAE can just bring them all. And I'm willing to try them all. That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by. I will write a separate posts full of photos as soon as my time will allow me to do so. Ciao!

Updated Price of Byphasse Products

As soon as I purchased Byphasse products for the month of April, I started using them and as much as I'd like to share my feedback about them I haven't gotten time yet to write and take photos. Well I found out that their prices when I found them (at Tati Department Store) was their regular prices. But when MAY 2015 came they added 2.00AED to all the products of Byphasse. And even the brand Evoluderm. Evoluderm is a French brand of affordable skin care products. Not yet buying anything from that brand. I was kind of disappointed over the 2.00AED increase as I'm planning to buy a dozen or two that I will be sending to my family via cargo. And someone was laughing at me for sulking over the 2.00AED increase :(
Byphasse Cleansing Milk 500ML ~ 12.00AED
Byphasse Micelle Solution 500ML ~ 20.00AED
Byphasse Rosewater Toner 500ML ~ 10.00AED
Byphasse Nourishing Lotion 500ml ~ 12.00AED
Byphasse Make Up Remover ~ 10.00AED
Byphasse Shampoo 1L ~ 17.00AED
Byphasse Shower Gel 1l ~ 22.00AED


They still have other items available that I did not purchase so I don't know the exact prices of those. Byphasse facial wash, Byphasse facial mask and Byphasse face scrub are not available. Tati Department Store so far has only one branch in Dubai and that is in Mirdif City Centre. Not too sure if they'll expand soon or not. That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by. Comments are welcome just don't be rude.
