Get Younger & Healthier Skin with Mega We Care’s Gloww Collagen

Truth be told, I’ve been wanting to drink collagen for months now. I even tried those sweet collagen juice drinks from convenience stores and although it tastes good, they’re also too sweet for my liking. I also hate the jelly in it, the texture makes it hard to swallow. I’m happy to have finally found one that’s easy to prepare, consume, and tastes good too! Read on to know more…

The Truth Regarding How Often you Should Be Exfoliating Your Face

Getting a skincare routine right can be difficult. It’s often a case of trial and error as you search for the products that are effective on your skin type and cost-effective. Part of the issue is knowing how often you should be using specific products to get the best possible look. It can be hard to achieve the same look as your favorite celebrity. After all, they have a team of professionals helping them.

One thing that many people get wrong is exfoliating their faces. You’ll probably think it’s a good idea to exfoliate daily. However, the best approach to exfoliating your face is actually to do it 2-3 times a week. In short, every other day will suffice.

Innisfree Opens in SM Megamall + My Favorite Products!

Last April 5, my favorite Korean skin care brand INNISFREE just opened their 2nd store in SM Megamall and I couldn't be happier! Aside from being just a stone's throw away from me, the store also carries and offers most of their best-selling products. Now I can now stock up on my favorite skin care products anytime. I remember panicking 'coz I run out of my Green Tea Seed Serum which I got from Korea, luckily Anagon gave me a new one as a gift!

Anyway, sharing with you photos from the media launch last April 4 where a few bloggers/vloggers and I was able to take a sneak peek of their new store before it opened to the public.

How SNOW CAPS Helped Me Sleep Better and Reduce Stress

They say one should love the skin they’re in, and to be completely honest, I am only starting to love mine. Growing up, I have always been obsessed with skin whitening everything maybe because of society’s double standard when it comes to beauty. Now, I have truly embraced my color (thanks to the kind & encouraging words guys hehe) but I still use SNOW CAPS Glutathione! But WHY??? I know this might seem contradicting or confusing to you, but I promise you I have my reasons. One of which is the most important: HEALTH! Read on to know more… 

OLAY WHIPS: Finally, A Moisturizer That Is Light As Air!

For more than a decade, I have always followed a strict skin care regimen-- cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, facial milk/sunscreen, eye cream. And if you want younger looking skin even as you age, I suggest you start early. Glad I did! All the products I'm currently using were tested over time (works for combination skin in tropical weather) and I'm happy to include in my list Olay's newest breakthrough in facial moisturizers, the OLAY WHIPS! Guys, believe me when I say that it is really one of the best skin care products I discovered this year. Read on to know more...

My Flawless Review: Shape & Sculpt, Beauty Drip & Rejuvelite Age Defy Mask Facial

Last October, a few days before our Siquijor trip, I went to Flawless Cubao (located inside Farmers Mall) for some me time and some long overdue skin & body pampering. I can't remember the last time I had a facial or any body treatment (it has been forever since my last RF). Luckily, I was able to find some time to finally do it! After all, this year (and the years to come) is all about self-love, self-improvement and self-preservation. I am not getting any younger so I will say yes to anything (except maybe major operations but nothing is set in stone) that can help maintain my youth. So happy that FLAWLESS is here to help and guide me in this beauty journey. So anyway in a month, I tried their Revlite Facial, Shape & Sculpt procedure & Beauty Drip!

Had My Warts Removed at FLAWLESS and This is the Result!

I had my first warts removal experience four years ago and it was liberating. After that, I told myself I will never ignore my warts again. Did you know that those tiny, ugly things that are almost invisible are contagious? Yup, they multiply and you could pass them on to other people! Eeew. So anyway, two weeks ago (July 9) I went to FLAWLESS Farmers Plaza branch to have the warts on my neck and chest removed. They've been annoying me for more than a year now and they were already visible and difficult to contain, but I just didn't have the time to deal with them 'coz I was busy with work. So when the movie I was styling for wrapped up, I decided to finally eliminate them. Here's what happened and how it looks like now...

Achieve That Summer-Ready Body with Strip White

Contrary to what you see on the internet, I am not too keen on showing some skin. In reality, those bikini photos I post are just from 5-10 minute photo shoots where I hurriedly put my clothes back on right after. I also mostly shoot in secluded areas or places where there's not much people. Anyway, my point is that I'm not 100% confident about my body. I know everybody has flaws and I haven't fully embraced mine. More on this below...

Product Review: Snow Crystal White Tomato w/ Natural Sunscreen

A lot of people have questioned my love for glutathione telling me I have no need for it because I already have an amazing, natural tan which a lot of people would kill for, and wishing for anything otherwise would be a sin. Guys, it is not in my plan to be as white as Snow White. Promise. Cross my heart. I use glutathione or whitening products to even out my skin tone, make it more luminous & radiant AND the best part? Its health benefits!  Did you know that it’s one of the most powerful antioxidants?  If you’re an “occasional” (keep telling yourself that Pax! Haha) drinker like me, glutathione could help protect and repair the liver! And with all the skin whitening and food supplements being sold and marketed, I’m sure you’ve asked yourself countless times, “Which one really delivers and which one to buy?!” Now here’s something that might top your list: SNOW CRYSTAL WHITE TOMATO with Natural Sunscreen (wow!!!) from well-known company Vida Nutriscience! Why? Read on to know more!

The Body Shop at 40: Enrich Not Exploit + New Products to Love!

I have always loved The Body Shop ever since I discovered their Born Lippy Raspberry Lip Balm years and years ago. I was so obsessed with it! But over the years, I've discovered much more than that balm, more than their thousand amazing products, I discovered hope. :) The Body Shop has always been consistent in offering top quality beauty & skin care products, and they've always been consistent in their pledge to saving the world, helping people & being cruelty-free while doing that. Truly Beauty with a Heart.

Discover the Healing Power of Vaseline

When it comes to skincare, there are a lot of brands who promise the world but fails to deliver. Vaseline took it up a notch by showing us proof on how they could heal dry skin through a leaf experiment. It's so cool, you guys. Hehe. See photos below!

Review: LUX Soft Touch Body Wash & Soap + Giveaway!

I am usually very cautious whenever I use different soaps or body wash because of my forever skin allergy. I was hesitant to try LUX at first because my skin usually goes ballistic over scented anything-- soaps, perfume, lotion, etc. But to my surprise, it was a pretty smooth (literally & figuratively) & delightful experience.

Glutamax Batman vs Superman Block Screening

I am not a huge fan of Superman (I like Batman movies though) or this franchise, but I won't miss the opportunity of watching a legendary movie. I snoozed (huhu sorry) the first time I watched it (sponsored by KitKat) so I vowed to watch it again. Perfect timing when Glutamax invited me to their block screening of Batman vs Superman at Uptown BGC! The event was graced by celebrities, beauty queens, bloggers. Here are photos...

Thiocell: Breakthrough Gluthatione Lozenges Launch

It's not a secret that I am a fan of gluthathione. I have taken capsules in the past, as well as glutha IV shots from YSA Skincare. Aside from having more radiant and clearer skin (it won't really make you super white), gluthatione also helps in detoxification of the liver and boosting the immune system.  It's pretty amazing. And you know me! I badly need that. Haha. So, when I got invited to Thiocell's launch I said yes. I wanted to know what made this brand different from the others and what it has to offer. I'm so glad I did! Learned so much that afternoon from the guest doctors/dermatologists. So, what makes Thiocell different and probably THE best gluthatione in the market? 

Skin Session at KIEHL'S

I'm the kind of person who's obsessed with my skin but is actually too lazy to do anything about it. I suuuuck. I envy women who have the drive to consistently maintain their skin care routines (exfoliate, cleanse, tone, moisturize, etc, etc) and those who have the time and moolah to go to skin clinics for skin treatments. If you're like me, don't despair... KIEHL's is here to save the day! Or our skin for that matter. ;)
