     Hello, Happy Sunday to all! I'm back with another review. I miss sharing product reviews and I know I owe you a lot. So for today, I'll be sharing a review of another eyeliner that was sent to me by Essence Philippines months ago. It's actually my prize from their Facebook fan page contest. I was very lucky that day because I'm the last sharer of the contest photo then I was tagged by my sister that I won two products from them Essence Stays No Matter What 24h Waterproof Eyeliner Pen and Essence All About Curl Mascara that I'll be reviewing on my next post. 

     If you're a long time reader of this blog, I've shared my love-hate relationship with eyeliner pens. The first eyeliner pen that I've tried was ELF and that eyeliner pen gave me a very horrible experience. If you want to read my review click HERE. Another eyeliner pen was from a local brand and I'm happy that it gave me positive results. So now here's another eyeliner pen that I think was one of the best that I've tried so far.

Product Review: Myra E 400 IU Capsule d-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

     Hi dearies! My apologies for another MIA, I know I've got a lot of things missed these past few weeks and backlogs start to pile up again. I want to go back to regular programming but I'm not sure if I'll be able to post regularly these coming weeks. Please bear with me and I hope you'll still continue reading my posts :)

     So to start, here's a review of another health supplement that I'm sure everyone knows. Myra E capsule is one of the most well-known brand of Vitamin E in the market today. I've known this brand since I was in high school. I can still remember my mom used to take this vitamin every night and she said that it's a skin vitamin. I have a simple question to ask: do you consider taking vitamin supplements for the skin even if you're taking care of your skin from the outside? If your answer is yes, then you should consider taking Myra-E. I was taking this vitamin on and off ten years ago to be exact. I'm not clearly sure of the effects of this vitamin on my skin before because I don't document it at all. I just noticed the blooming effect when I religiously took this every night a month ago. If you can still remember my post, this bottle of Myra E was included in the Unilab loot bag that I won from a giveaway. I was very excited when the package arrived and rekindled my love with vitamin E. My ob-gyne also advised me to take this vitamin  together with folic acid to ensure higher percentage of healthy pregnancy. So without a doubt, I took Myra E every night and saw a big difference on my skin. It's also a anti-oxidant for the body that will repair damage cells. So here's my honest to goodness review of Myra E 400 IU capsule, click CONTINUE READING if it's a nay or a yay!

Myra E 400 IU Capsule d-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
d-alpha-tocopherol (Myra E 400) is an oblong-shaped, orange-colored softgel capsule with “Myra E 400”.

     

     I visited UNILAB's website HERE and got these important FAQ's for those of you who still unaware what vitamin E does in our body or specifically in our skin.

1. Who can take Myra E 400? Can men also take it?
Myra E 400 can be taken by both men and women 19 years and older.

Myra E 400 may be taken at any time of the day, preferably with meals.
3. What is the effect of Myra E 400? In how many days will I see any results or changes?
Myra E 400 contains Vitamin E, an antioxidant, which protects our cells from damage by harmful chemicals called free radicals. Thus, it is difficult to say when one will see any changes because most of the effect will be “inside”.
4. Is it true that Vitamin E (such as Myra E 400) can cause tuberculosis when used by smokers?
Vitamin E such as Myra E 400 does not cause tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a disease caused by the bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Based on clinical studies, smoking may increase the risk of tuberculosis. We recommend that you consult your physician on proper advice on nutritional supplementation and healthy lifestyle.

Based on clinical studies, long term use of recommended doses of Vitamin E supplements by healthy individuals is generally safe. Vitamin E does not accumulate in the liver.

No. The recommended daily dose of Myra E 400 is 1 soft gel capsule a day.*

The amount of Vitamin E found in the normal diet (usually found in nuts, oil seeds, legumes, grains, and vegetable oils) and in pre- and postnatal multivitamins (which are specifically formulated for pregnant and breastfeeding women) is generally safe. Myra E 400 is not intended for pregnant and breastfeeding women as it has a relatively higher amount of Vitamin E than what is recommended during pregnancy and lactation.*
9. Can Myra E 400 be taken with birth control pills?
Clinical Studies have shown that women taking oral contraceptives have lower levels of vitamin E in the body. Therefore, Vitamin E supplementation may be beneficial for contraceptive users.*

No. Vitamin E can be absorbed by the body when taken alone. Vitamin C is not required for vitamin E absorption.
11. Can Myra E 400 softgel capsule and Conzace softgel capsule be taken at the same time?

What I like:

• It made my pale skin brighter and glowing.
• I didn't saw effects on these areas: protect against atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disorders and improve nerve functions and help prevent the onset of neuromuscular degenerative diseases BUT these things are very important to consider especially in late 30's I guess.
• There are a batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the bottle.
• Easily accessible.
• Aside from skin benefits, my ob-gyne advised me to take this as a preparation for healthy pregnancy together with folic acid.

What I don't like:

• None

Will I purchase? Yes!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.75/5 recommendation. I can say that from all the vitamins that I've tried before, vitamin E goes well with my system. I didn't experienced breakouts or whatsoever. It also made my dull skin glowing. Aside from the skin benefits that we can get from taking Myra- E, my ob advised me to take this together with folic acid to produce healthy cells in preparation for my next pregnancy. Myra-E is affordable too and easily accessible. So start taking care of your skin from within!

Blogapalooza 2013 Bloggers Event Experience

     Hi dearies! This prolly is one of the latest post that I have in my files to date :( The reason why I haven't posted this last year because I forgot to hit the publish button after scheduling it. I just saw last December that it's still in my blog bin. My bad! I should have shared with you the highlights of my Blogapalooza experience even though I arrived one hour before the program ended. It's better late than never right? Late again? Well to cut the long story short, I planned to attend this event around 3:00p.m. but my son was not feeling well and the hubby just got home from the office. I've decided to skip this event with a heavy heart because it's like missing my first Blogapalooza experience. Thank goodness that the hubby insisted me to go even if I'm late. Aside from what happened at home, SM Aura is very, very far from where I love. It took me two and a half hours to get there hence I only saw few booths because most of the bloggers already went home and some of the sponsors started packing their things up. But nonetheless, the experience was still one of the best! Click CONTINUE READING to find out the my short but sweet experience :)

Blogapalooza 2013 Experience

     Literally, I arrived with the stage set for some important reminders, raffle of prizes and closing remarks. When I entered this room, I saw the stage that screams home. The sofa and lamps reminds me of a very comfortable zone in my house. I guess that's what When In Manila chief editor Vince Golangco had in mind, make the discussion like an interaction in the comforts of our own homes. By this, the speakers will be able to share their stories about the ups and downs of their blogging experience.

Blogapalooza 2013 Experience

     Here's Vince Golangco announcing important reminders to all the bloggers who attended and signed up with brand partners. He also thank everyone who made the event possible. This event was also a fund raising campaign for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan). If my memory serves me right, The Piggy Bank Movement gathered around Php80,000++ cash donations. After this, it's raffle time! The lucky bloggers who tweeted about Blogapalooza on a specific time won something When In Manila and from the sponsors. I think they've the winners given cash prizes too. My apologies for not giving the exact details because I was very busy roaming around and signing up with partner brands that still accepts late bloggers. 

Blogapalooza 2013 Experience

     So before I went home, I took the opportunity to have this photo op with Vince. Thank you so much for the warm welcome even if I'm late :) I enjoyed the event even if there's only few people left at the venue.
