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. ♥

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.

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.

Tati Department Store Dubai

For the last week of April 2015 I was lucky enough to discover Tati Department Store in Mirdif City Centre. Tati is from France. The purpose is to sell affordable items. And as can be seen in the photo above Tati Dubai carries the brand Byphasse. Byphasse is a Spanish brand of Skin Care Products. Byphasse goal is to provide women affordable skin care hence the low prices. And when I discovered this shop they were on sale. Decided to hoard some items that I can bring. As I told myself that it would be the last with all the hoarding I made.
