Yes, I know! This is my third haul in a row. Right now, I enjoy trying different things especially those that are offered by local and up-and-coming brands or shops.
OIAM is definitely one of them. It is a brand with a clear vision and mission. It has undeniably great potential.
I actually first found it on Instagram. They do have a great feed that showcases not just their interesting products, but also their creativity and dedication. They don't offer tons of items, but you can easily tell that they put so much work and attention on each of the ones that they produce. These items are natural, cruelty-free and mostly vegan. They are healthier alternatives to commercial products with questionable ingredients. All the items come at reasonable prices. There's much to be said for the brand. No wonder, they are receiving tons of good reviews. Some well-known personalities are even featuring them on their own pages.
They do have an official website which is oiamnatural.com. You can use the site to order from them, but you can also send them a DM on Instagram depending on the availability of the product you want to try.
I chose to use the site and I placed my order last February 9, 2019. I immediately received an email confirmation regarding my order and the process for payment. I sent my payment using BPI the very same day. They shipped my package on Feb 11 via Cliqnship. Cliqnship forwarded my package to 2GO the next day, Feb 12. I received it a few days after, Feb 14.
My order was wrapped over and over.
There's the plastic provided by the courier and then there's another plastic with the word FRAGILE written on it.
The items were inside a box. It was not a nice, reusable box like the ones they give out to the chosen few, but it worked. It protected the items very well.
Inside the box, the items were packed in a brown bag.
Overall, the packaging was a bit too much, but hey, I appreciate the effort to secure the items.
I actually purchased a set called "THE TRIO". However, this set is no longer available on the site because one of the items included is currently out of stock. Worry not, they'll probably come out again with this specific set. If not, you can still purchase the items individually.
Anyway, I got the set for 945 Php. Provincial shipping cost me an additional 150 Php.
Now, here are the items included in the set:
OIAM Gotta Glow Face & Body Oil
This oil is available in both 50 mL and 100 mL, that cost 345 Php and 595 Php respectively.

For body, add a splash or several pumps to your bath or apply on damp skin straight out of the shower to seal in moisture.
OIAM Feelin' Extra Bronzing Oil
Just like the first one, this oil is also available in two different sizes with the same prices as I already indicated above.
"FRESH-FROM-THE-BEACH GLOW
Can’t commit to a self tanner and having to maintain it as it fades? This glow-giving bronzing oil is the way to go. Depending on your mood and amount you use, you can go from a gorgeously glowing goddess to that irresistible carefree beach babe living her best life!
This fast-absorbing bronzing oil is perfect for an ins-TAN-t fresh from the beach look or a safe and all natural tanning oil.

Directions:
Shake well before use. Slather on face & body for that even sheen & bronze. When tanning, best to re-apply after swimming or sweating.
This one comes with a precaution:
Let dry first as bronze might stain clothes. This product does not contain sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn. Repeated & excessive exposure of unprotected skin while tanning may increase the risk of skin damage. Best used with an all natural coral-safe sunscreen.
OIAM Aloe There, Smooth Skin! Soothing Emulsion
This is the last item and it's the one that is currently sold out. A 50 G jar is worth 295 Php.

Again, all these products are not tested on animals. They are all vegan. They also don't contain any toxic chemicals like parabens, sodium lauryl sulphates, steroids, petro-chemicals, artificial colours and perfumes, formaldehyde, isothiazolines, lanolin, synthetic preservatives, TEA (triethylomine) & DEA (diethanolamine).
I'm excited to use these products. I'm also already looking forward to purchase and try other products from the brand, especially the Naturally Naked Volumizing & Detoxifying Shampoo Bar. I'll definitely share with you my personal experiences with them soon.
Until next time!
