Watsons K-Beauty Launch

     It's a no brainer that most of Korean women have beautiful skin. It's a mixture of genes, climate, and tons of skin care products they apply religiously everyday. Have you heard of their 10-step skin care routine? It's crazy and tedious but if that's the road to young and glowing skin then let's give it a shot!

     It’s no longer a surprise to find more Filipinas becoming infatuated and obsessed with Korean beauty habits – face masks, ampoules, essence, etc. It’s fun, it’s never too serious, and you’ll definitely enjoy the quirky products that aren’t only cute, but work, too!

Product Review: Ishigaki Premium White Soap

     For me, the most basic whitening skin care product is whitening soap. I've tried so many whitening soaps in the past and around 70% of them are effective in making my skin soft, smooth, and glowing. The whitening or lightening effect comes last since I'm already fair to begin with.

     Today, let me share with you another soap that will help achieve those whitening goals- Ishigaki Premium White Soap. This whitening soap is from the makers of the infamous Ishigaki Premium Glutathione, Ishigaki Advanced White Glutathione, and Ishigaki Coffee. I presume that if you're a long time user of Ishigaki, you have tried this already or you're using it right now to complement your whitening skin care products. Cheskas Online Store sent me two bars of Ishigaki Premium White Soap and after finishing my bar I'm now ready to share my thoughts. More details of this promising soap below :)

Best 5 After Gym Skincare Tips You Should Know

     You might already have a good everyday skin care routine that gives you a flawless shine, but have you given enough thought about the post-workout one? 

     It is difficult to maintain two skincare routines in one day (blame it on your strict deadlines) and it is even harder to add your workout to your busy schedule. Spending a few extra minutes in the locker room can become unimaginably beneficial to get a good looking skin. It will make all the difference in maintaining a healthy skin that is free from breakouts and even looks hydrated.

Worry-Free Bonding with OFF! Insect Repellent Lotion!

     I believe that 'moms know best' when it comes to taking good care of their children. As a mother to my only son Kenzo, I always make sure to give him the utmost protection that I can give. If I could stay awake 24/7 just to make sure that he is still in great condition while he is sleeping, I will. But that's insane, I know that I need to make him feel secured all the times especially when he's outside the house. But I also need to stay calm and enjoy our day everyday especially when bonding together.

     I worry a lot of times especially when he's out of his comfort zone. At his age, he's prone to different bacteria and virus in the environment. There's only one thing I fear- insect bites and dengue! So in order for us to enjoy our bonding moments at home or in public places, I make sure that I bring a trusted partner with me- OFF! Insect Repellant Lotion :) Sharing with you tips and experiences on how to make bonding worry-free at all times below :)

Product Review: Mamonde Rose Water Toner

     Hello dearies! I want to share with you my thoughts on my current fave toner- Mamonde Rose Toner that I bought last year from Althea Korea. At first I was hesitant to try the product because of the price and thinking that it will just go to waste if my skin will react negatively to it. On the other hand, there's a whispering voice telling me to try it because it's rose water- and skin care products with rose extracts are known to give a moisturizing and calming effect on the skin.

     I made a research online and it looks like that only a few made a review of this product. After finishing a bottle, I'm proud to say that I experienced little to no breakouts. This is also the mildest toner that I've tried to date. So without further ado, here's my thoughts on Mamonde Rose Toner.

Product Review: Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen

     Hello dearies! Sharing with you my thoughts on Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen. Yep, you've read that right- chewable collagen. I know collagen users will rejoice because this supplement from Orihiro is chewable. It's easy to ingest and smells so yummy too because of peach flavor. The only downside of Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen is the collagen content.

     I'm surprised to see that it only contains 400 mg of collagen for 2 tablets already. The required amount is 5,000 mg for ages 30 and above. Even though there's a small amount of collagen per serving size, I still saw a difference in my skin after taking it for two months. I guess the maximum results will be seen after consuming everything inside the bottle. So without further ado, here's my honest to goodness review of Orihiro Most Chewable Collagen supplement below :)

Guinot Hydradermie Facial Treatment at David's Salon

     Did you know that aside from getting hair care services from David's Salon you can now have skin care treatment in select branch? Yes, I was surprised when David's Salon invited me to try the latest addition to their services- Guinot Hydradermie Treatment. This treatment originally came from Paris, France and David's Salon brought it here so that we can also try the "double ionisation" facial treatment that female clients throughout France rave about.

     Guinot is the No. 1 professional skin care brand in France and because of this, they're a worldwide expert in beauty care. French women give meticulous care in their skin. For them, skin care routine is a life, it is a necessity. You have to do it everyday and with that in mind, Guinot make sure that their products works because once you've find the right skin care products for your skin type, be sure to stick to it. I hope you get my point here, I'm not going to discuss Guinot skin care products here but more of the facial care treatment that is suitable for all skin types. More details on Guinot Hydradermie 'double ionisation' Treatment below :)

Product Review: Opulence Nutrawhite L-Glutathione + Boosters

     Hello dearies! Who here is taking glutathione supplements? I'm sure you already have your favorite brand/s if you're into whitening since time immemorial. For those who still can't find their forever with glutathione, I have great news for you! Have you heard of Opulence Skin? This brand is being distributed by GNS Beauty in the market for quite some time now but I guess only a few have heard or seen it.

     They sent bottles of Opulence Nutrawhite L-Glutathione for me to try but of course, I will only try one bottle to be fair to all the glutathione brands that I've reviewed before. I'll be giving away some bottles so stay tuned for that :) Anyhoo, this glutathione brand is promising based on the ingredients or the boosters inside each capsule. So without further ado, my honest to goodness review of Opulence glutathione below.

Product Review: Opulence Nutrawhite L-Glutathione + Boosters

Feature: Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

     Did you know that petroleum jelly has many uses? When I was in grade school, I always see a tub of petroleum jelly in my mom's vanity table. I'm not interested to know that time that's why I just ignore the tub and never dare asked her what's it for.

     Fast forward when I was in high school, I had a sunburn that's so annoying because it is so painful and itchy. Mom handed me a tub of petroleum jelly and told me to apply the jelly in the affected area to lessen the pain. After that, my sunburn healed and I became curious on other uses of petroleum jelly. Last week, I received tubs of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly in a blue box that says 101. Intrigued? Click read more and discover different ways to use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly below :)

Product Review: Fracora WHITE'st Placenta Serum

     Hello dearies! Sharing with you another review of my recent skin care product. I received a bottle of Fracora WHITE'st Placenta Serum months ago from Cheska's Store Online but did not use it right away because I'm still road testing a moisturizer from a start-up brand. I was intrigued with this serum when I read the description because it says made from 100% concentrated undiluted placenta extract. So basically it's really pure and water like when I peek inside the small bottle.

     I almost cringe in my seat to find out that a 30 ml bottle costs Php 2,200. Is this the miracle skin care product that we are looking for? Knowing Japanese standards, they will produce products that are effective even if some are not budget-friendly. To feed my curiosity and to know if this product is worth the price tag, I road-tested it for more than a month by applying the serum religiously day and night. The verdict? See my honest to goodness thoughts below :)

Product Review: Fracora WHITE'st Placenta Serum

Fracora Whitest Placenta Extract Serum (description taken from Cheskas Store Online)

• Contains 100% concentrated undiluted pure placenta essence. 
• Placenta Serum is a type of skin treatment product normally made from sheep placenta which is normally applied topically as a skin restorative. 
• Placenta are specialized body organs in charge of passing nutrients to establishing embryos in the womb, while filtering waste products. 
• Serum made from placenta could commonly include other advantageous active ingredients, such as collagen, 
• Vitamin supplement E, or green herbal tea extract. 
• Placenta serum is usually used topically as a skin restorative. 
• Producers normally declare that placenta serum could help slow and lessen the aging process, that it can enhance immunity, which it could assist basic health and very high power levels.

Product Review: Fracora WHITE'st Placenta Serum

Product Review: Fracora WHITE'st Placenta Serum
Use the dropper to get the product. Be careful not to spill a drop or two. There's a line in the dropper as you can see in the photo above. I always pump until it reaches that line and apply what I got on my entire face.

Product Review: Fracora WHITE'st Placenta Serum
I don't have perfect skin. I have large pores cheek and nose area plus my Hori's Nevus 

What I like:

• It's package in a small bottle which is very handy and travel-friendly. 
• Fracora White'st Placenta Serum is made from 100% undiluted placenta so it's pure. 
• The texture- very light because it's like that of water. 
• This water-type serum is easily absorbed once applied. 
• Non-greasy. Not sticky. 
• The glow is really obvious in the morning after waking up. 
• Made my skin soft and smooth to touch. 
• It made my face brighter or should I say lighter and less oily. 
• Batch and manufacturing date printed at the bottom of the packaging. 
• Free from paraben, fragrance, and mineral oil.

What I don't like:

• The scent- there's a weird scent. A bit fishy for my sensitive nose but I can tolerate it as long as I will not inhale during application. 
• Since the texture is watery, it runs out fast. I always try not to spill a drop or two of this precious serum. 
• Expensive especially for budget conscious individuals or those who have tight budget. 
• Available online.

Will I repurchase?: Maybe.

Recommendation:

      I give this product a 4/5 rating. This serum is one of the best skin care products that I have tried to date but it's soo pricey. No breakouts, irritations, or whatsoever because the texture is watery. Still contemplating if I will buy another bottle since I find it so quick to run out. You can see in the photo above that I still have large pores and my Hori's Nevus is till there but lighter based on my observation.

     I will recommend this product if you have the budget to splurge and you have sensitive skin. Since the product is made only of three ingredients, I guess the percentage of breakouts and other skin reactions will be low.

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary Event

     Beauty Elements Ventures Inc. brings beauty to light to millions of Filipinas for 10 years and Kojiesan is the star burning brighter than ever. Beauty Elements Venture’s Inc. (BEVI), the manufacturer of the country’s favorite skin-lightening product, Kojiesan, celebrated its 10 fruitful years of bringing a lighter, flawless and more beautiful complexion to Filipinos in a grand event early this month.

     I was one of the invited media guests in celebrating this milestone. The event was held at Sofitel Philippine Plaza last August 8, 2016- a thanksgiving and inspirational event that aims to look back at BEVI's humble beginnings and share their success story with their trade partners and consumers as well. Highlights of the event below.

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary Event

     

     BEVI’s success story is a testament to the undaunted determination of its owner. From a few dozen orders to millions of bars sold, the soap steadily became a favorite among Filipinos. The innovative product reached consumers across the country, and soon after, distribution went worldwide as an export commodity. 

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary Event
Kojiesan Sales Director Mr. Jun Matos

Kojiesan's success story:

     BEVI started in a humble office in a residential area of Makati. Now, the company operates from an entire building. It also owns 6 hectares of manufacturing facilities in San Pablo, Laguna, providing employment to more than 500 employees.

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary Event
Full house at Sofitel Philippine Plaza

      

     BEVI launched the original kojic acid soap formulated the traditional Japanese way and made it even better by adding high-grade virgin coconut oil into the mix. I presume that you already know Kojiesan and the star product Kojiesan Kojic Acid Soap. Let me share with you important facts about the soap and how it works.

What is Kojiesan?

• Kojiesan is an exceptional treatment to even out skin tone, erase dark spots, and other forms of skin pigmentations. 
• It also corrects skin discoloration while lightening the skin. 
• Results vary individually. How your skin reacts to any skin lightener will depend on your unique skin sensitivity, the extent of the pigmentation, and/or daily sun exposure. 
• Initially, an improvement should be seen in the first or second week, then the ultimate result within the next 30 days or a few weeks thereafter. 

Kojiesan product lines:

1. The Kojiesan Classic Line includes the Skin Lightening Soap, Cleanser+Toner, Face Lightening Cream, and Body Lightening Lotion.

2. The Kojiesan Dream White Anti-Aging Line includes the Anti-Aging Soap, Anti-Aging Facial Toner, Anti-Aging Creams (day and night), and Blemish Control Cream.

4. Bellic Peel and Glow Brightening Line includes brightening body wash, brightening body lotion, brightening facial toner, brightening day and night cream, and brightening soap

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary Event
Bellic Peel and Glow Brightening Products

The Kojiesan promise:

     With more tricks than truth behind what brands say, Kojiesan enjoins us to be careful with what we buy. Some labels brandish catchy, creative terms ---triple effect this, intensive that, pinkish white whatever, and touting invented numbers --- 4 tones fairer, 7 days faster--- with zero consideration for your natural skin’s reaction to adverse products. 

      And for all the claims and white lies told, the question remains: have they shown us results? It’s time we see the light. No lab-made chemical complexes, no marketing-invented promises. Just you and your natural beauty, shining at its lightest.

     The proof is in the pigment, and seeing is believing. So don’t let those brands tell you what works for you. Join the millions who’ve witnessed visible results, because it’s time to bring your skin to light with the country’s No. 1 kojic soap: KOJIESAN!

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary EventBEVI marketing head, Tricia Gregorio

“We will continue to innovate products and expand our distribution to bring the highest level of consumer experience to a greater number of people. We want to be known as the company who delivers quality and effective products,” says BEVI marketing head, Tricia Gregorio.

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary Event
Thank you so much for having me :)

     

     Kojiesan's commitment to quality is reflected in the recognition it garnered for five consecutive years as “Bath Soap Brand of the Year” at the Watson's Health and Beauty Awards and Consumer “SM Top Choice” Awards.

Congratulations, BEVI and Kojiesan!!!

Watsons Kiss Aging Goodbye Campaign Launch

     Aging is inevitable, but signs can be reversible because of different skin care products that we have today. In search for the fountain of youth, women ages 30 years old and above resort to anti-aging products to pro-long the effects of aging in the skin. If you're into anti-aging, I presume that you are using creams, serums, and even supplements that diminishes fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and pigmentation. 

     Did you know that 20 is the new 30? Yes, you read that right. With all the stress and bad habits that come with our hectic, modern lives, women are aging faster than ever before. And the signs- both internal and external, visible and invisible, start to manifest as early as your 20s.  I was shocked when I heard this during Watsons Kiss Aging Goodbye campaign. Does that mean  I'm already late in terms of when to incorporate anti-aging products in my skin care regimen? Sharing some insights on anti-aging and highlights of the event below :)

Watsons Kiss Aging Goodbye Campaign Launch

     Last August 4, 2016, Watsons launched their Kiss Aging Goodbye event at Watsons Podium Mall with Patty Laurel as their host. Watsons is helping thousands of women to Kiss Aging Goodbye in its latest anti-aging campaign. During the event, we busted the myths about anti-aging and learned more on the facts why it is important to invest on skin care products that target aging.

Watsons Kiss Aging Goodbye Campaign Launch

     Watsons Marketing Director, Ms. Viki Encarnacion, explains, “The Kiss Aging Goodbye campaign is what Watsons is all about. It’s an educational effort with a two-pronged approach, teaching our customers how to prevent the negative effects of aging by taking care of themselves inside and out. We are literally helping people ‘Look good. Feel great.’ And it’s a wonderful thing.” Here’s how the two-pronged approach works.

     Watsons offers different anti-aging skin care products from cheap, cost-effective and high-end ones. Of course these products range from creams, serums, lotions, and supplements. Here are the products that I've spotted inside the store and are available in leading Watsons stores nationwide:

1. Topicals, creams, lotions, serums

• To help you kiss those wrinkles goodbye, try L’Oreal Dermo Expertise Revitalift Range—a skin care solution inspired by laser, that promises younger looking skin in 4 weeks! 
• Or bring back your baby skin with Collagen by Watsons Intensive Nourishing Facial Mask, enriched with Collagen and Vitamin E to repair dryness and enhance skin’s elasticity.

2. Anti-aging supplements

• A lot of the signs of aging we see on the outside is caused by the body breaking down on the inside. 
• Calcium deficiency and lack of collagen are two common culprits. 
• To help prevent a haggard look, you should give yourself the added nutrition you need in the form of food supplements and ingestible beauty aids. 
• One of Watsons’ favorites is the iVi Collagen Ready-To-Drink, with 10,000 mg of Collagen that helps smoothen fine lines, and lighten dark spots for that forever-young glow.

Here are some tips from the experts and from yours truly:

1. If you want to keep your beauty longer, keep your beauty bases covered from nutrition to skincare, inside and out. 

2. You’re never too young to start looking old. Start preventive maintenance in your early 20s. If that ship has sailed, start as early as now. 

3. Always drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. Hydration is the key to maintain skin elasticity and moisture thus preventing it from dryness.

4. Use sunblock and sunscreen everyday. Re-apply every 4 hours. Bring umbrella, wear shades, to protect you from the damaging rays of the sun. Avoid sun exposure in the afternoon where the UVA/UVB rays are at its peak.

5. Stop smoking! Drink moderately. Eat healthy and exercise. 

6. Start your anti-aging regimen by investing on products that will help lessen or diminish wrinkles, fine lines, crow's feet, sagging skin, and hyper pigmentation. You can score anti-aging products at Watsons Stores nationwide.

7. Start hoarding anti-aging products now because Watsons is having a great sale on anti-aging products until September 21, 2016.
