“Face Lift” in a Bottle

First of all, thank you La Prairie for gifting me the Skin Caviar Liquid Lift. I’ve been hearing about this product from beauty junkies and I’ve always wanted to try it. Now, my “La Prairie” has been answered!

I’ve only tried La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift for a few days and I have to say, I got instant gratification from using this product – it’s “face lift” in a bottle!

This is my kind of caviar, non-fattening! Haha!

I’m ready!

How to apply:

Step 1: For first time use, activates Skin Caviar Liquid Lift by removing the outer cap, pressing the activator.

Step 2: Shake the bottle vigorously to blend.

There was a part of me that didn’t want to shake the container as I know I would lose the golden beads. Anyway, time to release the goodness…

Step 3: Pump to dispense one or two drops into palm of hand. Using the fingertips, smooth all over face and neck.

Result:

The minute I applied it on my face I immediately felt my skin tighten! The key ingredient is a glucose-based polymer derived from Xanthan Gum which smooths and tightens the skin. I

After use, plakado na ang fez! LOL

“Face lift” in a bottle

All about the luxe serum:

Holiday indulgence

The La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift may dry the skin a bit so best to use a moisturizer on top of it.

La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift comes with a hefty price tag but a little goes a long way. It’s for those who can afford to pay for surgical facelift but don’t want to go under the knife.

Shoppingera, for a non-invasive “face lift”, try La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift!

The Secret to a Brighter Smile

Colgate Optic White, the new beauty must-have of IT girl Solenn Heussaff that promises one shade whiter teeth after one week, was launched on 8 November 2012 at the Mango Tree Bistro in Bonifacio High Street. As a Colgate Optic White Style Squad member, I was present to flash my own pearly whites, care of the newest addition to my beauty regimen.

The secret to a brighter smile, revealed:

White’s hot

Colgate Optic White endorser Solenn Heussaff

“A big part of a great smile is confidence and attitude, and this is something that can only be achieved if you have beautiful teeth,” Solenn shares.

“Never underestimate how a smile can make or break your look,” Phoemela Baranda, one of the city’s hottest models says.”

“It’s the easiest way to give yourself a style boost. A smile it truly the ultimate accessory,” Rajo Laurel
enthused.

The evening’s red carpet event dazzled as the guest’s bright smiles were flashed for the paparazzi.

According to Solenn, “There’s a lot more to style that just having the right clothes. Colgate Optic White promises one shade whiter teeth in just one week—it really works.”

For Colgate, flashing those pearly whites pulls together that hot, red carpet look.

Shoppingero/shoppingera, for whiter teeth and a brighter smile, try Colgate Optic White!

The Best Non-Invasive Beauty Gadget

I’ve been getting great compliments about my skin from friends and my peers in the industry. Ask Mega magazine’s Creative Director Suki Salvador and Preview magazine’s Beauty Editor-at-Large Agoo Bengzon and they will tell you that my “freshness” levelz went up a notch! Haha!

My secret: Regular facial treatments at Facial Care Centre and my latest beauty gadget obsession:

Clarisonic Mia 2

I’ve been using the Clarisonic Mia 2 for about two months now and I love it! The first time I used it, I already felt the difference in my face — it’s smoother and more supple! It’s the BOMB!

I found out about Clarisonic Mia last year while leafing through one of my fashion magazines. A lot of beauty blogs and website also swear by it. This year, I finally made the jump and got myself the latest Clairsonic Mia 2.

Celebrities who use the Clarisonic Mia Sonic Cleansing System: Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Gisele Bundchen and Demi Moore

What is Sonic Cleaning?

While cleansing is the first step in any skin care ritual, it is often overlooked.  Typical manual cleansing can leave behind dirt and oil trapped in pores. This build-up can damage the appearance and health of your skin and keep your skin care products from working like they should.

Clarisonic Mia

Used and recommended by spas and dermatologists, Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing Systems use a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to gently, yet thoroughly remove 6X more makeup and 2X more dirt and oil than cleansing with your hands alone. Cleaner skin is the first step toward healthier skin. And healthier skin is smoother, more radiant and more beautiful.

Clarisonic Mia 2

The Clarisonic Mia and Mia 2 come in various colors

The only basic difference between Mia and Mia 2 is that Mia 2 has two speed.

Why is sonic skin cleansing unique?

Clarisonic sonic skin cleansing is the latest innovation in advanced skin care. It’s more effective than traditional superficial cleansing, yet gentle on your skin. It not only cleanses the skin, but also helps reduce dry patches, blemishes, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

For those who have acne, you might want to try this system: Clarisonic Acne Cleansing Brush Head and Acne Daily Clarifying Cleanser. Consult your dermatologists about it.

The promise:

Beautiful Skin Begins with Cleaner Skin
Traditional methods of cleansing don’t get your skin as clean as you’d think. Fortunately, the lead inventor of Sonicare discovered a breakthrough in how we cleanse. Using Sonic Technology, Clarisonic’s patented micro-massage motion works within skin’s natural elasticity to gently remove the impurities traditional methods leave behind- leaving skin softer, smoother and more beautiful.

• Cleanses 6x better than with your hands alone in just 60 seconds
• Works with skin, not against it, to gently massage away impurities trapped within pores
• Prepares skin for better absorption of creams, serums and moisturizers
• Gentle enough to use 2x a day

Clarisonic Mia 2 is a beauty gadget that polishes your skin to submission! It leaves your skin smooth and supple. Freshness to the max!

It’s gentle enough to use everyday! It’s addicting!

Excellent for those who are lazy cleaning your face properly.

How to use Clarisonic Mia 2:

Use on forehead (20 seconds), nose/chin (20 seconds), and both cheeks (10 seconds each). Our T-Timer® will pulse when it’s time to cleanse the next area of your face.

Warning: Do not scrub the brush on your face, just let the vibrating brush glide gently all over your face.

You can use the Clarisonic Refreshing Gel Cleanser but if you ran out of it, just use your regular gentle facial wash.

The Clarisonic Mia 2 comes with a hefty price so I only bought one. I just ordered extra brushes so that Tom, Aryanna and I could share it and for hygenic purposes too.

I honestly don’t remember how I washed my face in the morning without my Clarisonic Mia 2, it is definitely life changing! You’ll understand what I mean once you’ve used it.

The Clarisonic Mia 2 pack comes with a travel kit, trial size cleanser, and a cool magnetic charger

I highly recommend this product and my whole family can vouch for its effectiveness in polishing your skin. My 16-year old daughter Aryanna has less breakouts because of it and my husband Tom, who’s lazy when it comes to skin care, is now addicted to this gadget! Haha!

Because life is not perfect, unfortunately, the Clarisonic Mia Cleansing System is not available in Manila. I ordered mine from my buyer in Hong Kong, Kristine Chan. Visit her site.

Shoppingero/shoppingera, contact your closest relatives living abroad and beg them to buy you this beauty gadget! It’s AHMAYZING!

Shu Uemura by Karl Lagerfeld

Hello Shu Uemura fans!

Shu Uemura Holiday Collection by Karl Lagerfeld

This post is way overdue, but as some of you may know, I’ve had health issues that I had to deal with the last few weeks. My world pretty much stopped because of it. Anyway, I have two great news for you!

Great news no. 1: After a nail biting experience of waiting on the results of my tests, I’m happy to report that my mammogram and biopsies results are benign, “not remarkable”, and non-cancerous! Thank you, Lord! Thanks for all your prayers too!

Great news no. 2: Ever since the launch of Karl Lagerfeld x Shu Uemura collection, makeup junkies around the world pretty much wiped out the shelves of Shu Uemura stores. The collection sold out faster than you can say “Mon Shu!”

Karl Lagerfeld x Shu Uemura

If you live in Manila, you are in luck — Shu Uemura just replenished their shelves with new stocks! Daliiiiiiii!!!

I’ve been a Shu Uemura fan since day one. So, don’t take it against me that I have the (almost complete) collection of Karl Lagerfeld x Shu Uemura. LOL

Calendar Girls, Part 1

Sing it! “I love, I love, I love my calendar girl… Each and every day of the year…”

First of all, Happy 30th Anniversary Facial Care Centre!

To commemorate 30 years as a leader in non-invasive, premium skin care, Facial Care Centre has come up with a beauty calendar that will depict various interpretations of beauty, because nowadays, it comes in various forms. Gone are the days when only a particular kind of beauty is admired. Today, people have different opinions, they revel in uniqueness, freedom of expression and choice. Some go for the classic mestiza look, others for natural Filipina features as their beauty ideals. For some, beauty is in the way women move, carry themselves, or how real and simple they look, any time of day. “We wanted to capture all those in this calendar and what better way to do it than to ask all the endorsers of FCC to pose for it,” explains Irene Dujunco-Stacy, Facial Care Centre’s Group Marketing Manager.

Facial Care Centre (FCC) is one of the beauty treatment facilities in the country and one of the biggest supporters of my blog. So when they invited me to pose for their 2013 calendar… I thought twice. Haha! What I mean is, at first I said no (I’m familiar with FCC’s gorgeous celebrity endorsers so there was a lot of pressure to level up! Haha!), but because of Irene Dujunco-Stacy and NJ Torres’ sweet persuasions, I said: Sige na nga, girrrl! Yes! LOL

Presenting, Miss July…

O, ha! Haha!

Thank you Raymund Isaac for my smouldering photo! OMG! First time ko mag-sexy sexyhan! Haha! Big thanks too to makeup artist Steven Deloso for my face! Love this photo!

And now, some of the most beautiful and hottest calendar girls…

June

"My husband tells me I'm beautiful every day. He just loves my soft, smooth skin. Facial Care is my only skin secret." - Amina Aranaz-Alunan

December

"Younger women would tell me they admire how I stay youthful and beautiful. I say my firm, toned skin is all because of the ReFirme treatment. A healthy lifestyle, a happy life, and a visit to Facial Care... these make me the beautiful woman I am now." - Amparito Lhuillier

Throughout 30 years, FCC has developed wonderful friendships with talented, creative people in the business. “FCC has to thank famous celebrity photographer Raymund Isaac and his team for another wonderful collaboration. We also have to thank premier make-up artists Steven Doloso, Lala Flores, Christine Duque, and Gela Laurel and the various talented hair stylists for helping us bring the concepts to life!”

Shoppingera, tune in for ‘Calendar Girls Part 2′!

My Top 5 Beauty Picks

I love the “skin, skin” look.

Flawless looking skin and light scents are the best! It keeps one looking “young” and smelling fresh all day despite occasional ngarag moments.

Here are my current favorites:

Clockwise:

NARS Skin Aqua Gel Luminous Mask. There are two things I do to freshen the look of my skin: Monthly facials and skin treatments at Facial Care Centre and weekly facial masks at home.

Hierbas De Ibiza Agua De Colonia Fresca. The Spaniards have really perfected the grown-up baby fresh scent! I spritz this cologne throughout the day. Babying-baby lang ang pakiramdam! LOL

Laura Mercier Mascara. Ever since I got LASIK surgery done, I could finally wear mascara without irritating my eyes! Yay for LASIK and for Laura Mercier Mascara!

NARS Skin Gentle Cream Cleanser. I have dry and sensitive skin, this is one of the gentle cleansers that work for me.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20. Hands down, this is my favorite of the lot! I use this everyday. It moisturizes, protects my skin, has minimal coverage and doesn’t leave a stickyfeeling. Loooooove this! Tinitipid ko ‘to! Haha!

Shoppingeras, try them! I know you’ll love them as much as I do!

Quick Drying Nail Polish (5 Mins.)

You know the drill: paint nails, put quick dry oil, oil gets on everything you touch—your mobile phone, iPad, keyboard, leather bag, wallet, face, and so on, wait for the polish to dry, then just when you thought the polish was rock hard you put a dent in it… redo process… Argh!!!

So, who here has issues about slow drying nail polish too? Raise your legs…

Remember this tweet:

After I tweeted my dilemma, several Twitter followers aired the same problem. Luckily, Gina of Dazzle Dry™ read my tweet and offered a solution: she organized a trial home mani/pedi with me using Dazzle Dry™ Nail Polish System.

About Dazzle Dry™

Dazzle Dry is the only Vegan, Non Toxic, Non Yellowing, Hypoallergenic Nail Polish system that DRIES ROCK HARD in 5 Minutes.

Mission

Guilt Free Glam Nails that Dries rock hard in 5 Minutes.

After the home service, all I can say is, if I were to give Best Beauty Product awards, Dazzle Dry™ would be on my top 3 list!

Loooove it:

•Vegan product – nitrocellulose-free, no toluene, no formaldehyde, phthalate-free, no DBP, and camphor-free
•Dries rock hard in 5 minutes! For real! So much so, that after 5 minutes, I was able to wear my shoes with my freshly pedicured nails and the laquer didn’t chip at all! Unbelievable!
•Non-yellowing. I’ve used Dazzle Dry™ since May this year. I haven’t “rested” my nails like what I used to do when using other nail polish brands and I’m happy to report that my nails are not yellow and they even look shiny and healthy! Awesome!
•UV protection
•Chip-free for up to 3-4 weeks. My personal experience is 2-3 weeks only maybe because of my active lifestyle.
•Strengthens natural nail
•High gloss finish. Parang duco finish lang. Fab!
•Performs like a gel, removes like regular polish
•Over 100 colors to choose from! NKKLK ang colors!
•No toxic smell

After the Dazzle Dry™ mani/ped, Gina gave me two bottles of nail polish: "Evening Song" and "High Velocity Red". I haven't used any other nail polish brand since so I've been stuck with these two colors for three months! Haha!

Dazzle Dry™ trinity. You MUST use all their products for it to work.

The best nail polish remover, hands down! No toxic acetone scent. Dazzle Dry™ Lemongrass Nail Remover has a refreshing, light scent. Using it never made my nails dry.

Important: One must use ALL the products in the Dazzle Dry™ Nail System to enjoy its benefits and get the results that it promises.

Easy peasy:

1. Remove any existing polish on your nails. Do the usual cuticle, nail cut/file/cleaning.
2. To prepare your nails, wipe the entire surface of each nail with the Dazzle Dry™ Nail Prep. Use a cotton ball for this—this will promote a more effective adherence of the polish and helps in strengthening the nails.
3. Apply the Dazzle Dry™ Base Coat and let it completely dry (it takes 1-2 min.) before proceeding to the next step. The Base Coat dries matte.
4. Polish your nails with your favorite Dazzle Dry™ Nail Lacquer. Like the base coat, most Dazzle Dry™ polishes dries matte.
5. Finally, apply the Dazzle Dry™ Top Coat for a durable and highly glossy finish. Air dry for for 5 minutes. Do NOT use a fan as it may promote bubbles. Again, NO need for UV lamps too as it dries quickly.

A parcel from Dazzle Dry™ was delivered to our home last week.

Ooh… Lovely packaging!

What’s inside?

OMG! Dazzle Dry™ goodies!

Finally!!! After three months, I can finally move on to other colors aside from red and blue! Haha!

Thank you Hans and Gina! You made Aryanna and I very happy!

Et viola!

Some of my Favorite Dazzle Dry™ colors:

Dazzle Dry™ nail polish in "Jade Coral"

Dazzle Dry™ in "Blueberry Sno Cone"

As of now, you can only get Dazzle Dry™ nail service from different salons (check out their Facebook page for the salon list). Dazzle Dry™ is available at Henri Calayag Salon so, book appointments now: Henri Calayag Salon, G/F The Residences at Greenbelt (TRAG), Esperanza Street, Ayala Center, Makati City. Contact: 799-1495/491-4596; (0920) 918-1880; henricalayag_salon@yahoo.com

If you want Dazzle Dry™ to be sold in the Philippines, please hound them! Haha!

New: Underarm & Bikini Whitening Gel

The problem: Are dark underarms keeping you from looking and feeling your best? Do you shy away from sleeveless clothes, bikinis, and swimsuits? If your answer is yes, chances are you are experiencing hyperpigmentation, or excessive skin darkening, on sensitive areas of the body.

While the most common cause of skin darkening is exposure to the sun’s UV rays, there are other factors that can trigger it. Some common causes of dark underarms and bikini areas include:

•Wearing tight clothes and underwear
•Excessive sweating or rubbing
•Irritation from chemicals found in deodorants and antiperspirants
•Hormonal changes (ex: during pregnancy)
•Shaving / Plucking underarm hair
•Dead skin build-up
•Improper hygiene

Solution: Gluta-C, a trusted brand in whitening and skin care, introduces Gluta-C Intense Whitening Underarm & Bikini Skin Whitening Gel, a revolutionary new product that addresses this problem. Formulated with whitening ingredients Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Bellis Perennis (Daisy) Flower extract, it lightens dark spots, prevents melanin formation, and visibly whitens underarms and darker toned areas (bikini area, inner thighs, elbows, and knees) for even-toned skin. Green Tea extract and other moisturizing agents hydrate the skin, keeping it soft and smooth to the touch. protein helps slow down hair regrowth, reducing the frequency of shaving or plucking. Hair grows back softer and thinner too, making coarse stubbles a thing of the past.

Gluta-C Intense Whitening Underarm & Bikini Skin Whitening Gel comes in a 20ml tube that retails for P199.75.

Gluta-C Intense Whitening Underarm & Bikini Skin Whitening Gel comes in clear gel form that absorbs quickly and more efficiently than creams. It is cool and refreshing, plus it leaves no sticky residue. Since it contains no alcohol, perfumes, and parabens, it is safe for sensitive skin. Its antibacterial properties also help deodorize underarms.

With Gluta-C, you can be free to wear clothes that express the real you and be truly confident with smooth, fair, and even-toned skin all over.
