ALLURA Body Contour Launch

     Last February, I was invited to the launch of ALLURA Body Contour's Shaping Lives to the Fullest launch. The launch was held at Hello Relish in Timog where satisfied customers and celebrity endorsers shared their weight loss stories and how they've achieved their #BodyGoals. Losing weight is hard, but ALLURA makes it easy.

5. Hear the client’s success stories and testimony!

     Ara Mina and Christine Reyes, the renowned sisters in Philippine show business are just some of the living proof of how ALLURA fulfilled its promises.

ARA MINA 

     Ara Mina revealed that Thermo-lipolysis became her weight loss buddy for her quick reduction of weight. "Thermolipolysis is my favorite treatment, I lost 11 pounds in just a short period of time," shared Ara. In addition, Ara's waistline has reportedly gone from a 28 to a 25 in just a short span.

     Thermolipolysis is one of the famous offerings of ALLURA as it helps our clients reduce weight easily and instantly. It uses cutting-edge thermal heat and infrared technology to burn as much as 900 calories per treatment of 30 minutes. You are put inside a hi-tech "capsule," so you can literally lose weight equivalent to 3-7 km. energy expenditure of running while lying down. It actually burns as much as 900 calories per session. More than that, it increases the metabolism, reduces water retention and stimulates body circulation.

CHRISTINE REYES

     Another popular demand from ALLURA is the Radio Frequency method which effortlessly gets rid of the cellulite and local fat tissues safely. It is effective, extremely safe, painless and mild with its special cooling method, no bandage, no bruising, no bleeding and no pain. 

     This treatment was used by actress Christine Reyes to tighten her upper arms. She also used the UltraShape Machine, which destroyed fat on her tummy and flanks.

Christine Reyes

     She further had Endermolgie to address her cellulite problem on her thighs. The Endermologie Machine employs vacuum energy mechanical rollers. It corrected the fat cell accumulation and too much fluid retention (edema) on her thighs.

     The UltraShape Machine is a 3-in-1 machine, that employs 1.) ultra-sound technology which causes bursting (implosion) of the fat cells of the area being treated. The 2.) suction/vacuum probe hastens lymphatic drainage of the fat cell content (fat cells when destroyed release energy to be burned) into the blood stream. 3.) The radio frequency (RF) part of the machine treatment will tighten or firm up the skin of the area being treated since the area will be losing a lot of fat tissues and it might cause the skin to loosen up.

     Meanwhile, the VASER® Shape is one of the newest trends that their clinic carries and is currently a hit with clients for its rewarding results. It is a non-surgical body-sculpting treatment that uses ultrasound and massage to treat unwanted fat and improve the appearance of cellulite. 

     With VASER® Shape, the ultrasonic therapy heats the deep layers of the skin, causing the underlying fat cells to break apart. The non-surgical body contouring massage helps the lymphatic system drain away the excess toxins and fats and increase blood circulation in the area. The VASER shape treatment reduces “pinchable” fat, tightens skin, and improves the appearance of cellulite. Many people notice tightening after their first session, and you are able to resume normal activities immediately without pain or downtime. In fact, immediate results can be seen and felt in just 1 session! 

     These treatment machines are US/Europe BFAD approved which guarantees the safeness of all our procedures. We acquired the machines from the inventor/discoverer of the technology and hence the treatments have sound scientific principles. And these technologies have made thousands of our customers realize that losing weight does not require them to starve themselves, or allot lengthy hours at the gym, or undergo those delicate bloody surgical operations because ALLURA has given them a safe and convenient alternative! 

     Other personalities such as Ryza Cenon, Rich Asuncion, MJ Marfori, Johan Santos and DJ Nicole Hyala have also testified about the effectivity of the services offered at ALLURA.

CHLOE DAUDEN, MISS WORLD PHILIPPINES 2011 (SECOND PRINCESS)

     Miss World Philippines 2011, Second Princess, Chloe Dauden announced on her Instagram post that Body Rejuve Tripollar is her favorite treatment in ALLURA.

     In her post online, she revealed that she is doing it at least once a week. “Body Rejuve Tripollar really helps in slimming and toning my stomach, arms and thigh.” Dauden posted. This treatment helps improve stretch marks, reduces fats in certain areas, melts cellulite and tightens skin. Same with Needle-less Mesotherapy which uses ion wave technology as it opens up the pores of the skin, giving the body time to get all the nutrients from skin care products.

CATHERYN JOY AMPARO

Cathy Amparo described ALLURA in 3 words – “AFFORDABLE EFFECTIVE & EFFORTLESS”.

     “To say thank you, just doesn’t seem enough. So please, take these words, share them with others as a testament of the results one can get. It has made a huge difference in MY life. I only hope others can feel the same”, our happy customer said. Indeed, getting a fab and fit body has been easier this time through the slew of non-invasive slimming treatments offered by ALLURA. No need to spend tiring hours at the gym or starve yourselves because at ALLURA, we promise to deliver the most ideal results in bringing out the best version of our clients.

Penshoppe x Sandara

     The pambansang 'krung krung' is back! Last week Sandara Park visited the country because she's now an ambassador and endorser of Penshoppe! Sandara Park or Dara is the newest face of Penshoppe and last Friday, I was one of the few who witnessed her charm and beauty at the Penshoppe x Sandara presscon held in one of the prime hotels in Ortigas.

     Truly, the sweet and charming Sandara Park who is now a Korean K-Pop sensation showed us that she's a Filipino at heart. She answered the interview in Tagalog and shared to us that she really loves our country. More about the Penshoppe x Sandara below :)

Penshoppe x Sandara 

     Sandara was interviewed by Champ Lui Pio and she gamely answered all the questions prepared by the invited press and bloggers that afternoon. She shared to us that even before she became an endorser of Penshoppe, she already liked the brand. Now that she's an endorser, Dara said the she's very proud and feel comfortably fashionable wearing Penshoppe's key pieces this summer season like the joggers, jackets, and skirts. 

Penshoppe x Sandara 

Sandara Park and Champ Lui Pio

Here are some highlights of Sandara Park's visit:

• Well-loved all over Asia, especially by Filipinos, Sandara Park is frontlining the Spring-Summer 2016 campaign of international fashion brand, Penshoppe.
• Sandara attended series of events set up by Penshoppe, including a meet and greet with fans and a denim fashion show that also doubles as a re-launch for the brand’s Denim Love scents.

“To say that Sandara is one of Asia’s most sought-after style icons is an understatement,” shares Jeff Bascon, Brand Director of Penshoppe. “She has a strong sense of style that is all about standing out from the crowd. This fits perfectly with our brand’s philosophy of offering clothes that are always on-trend yet still cater to people’s individual tastes. We both believe that there should be a good balance between individuality, personal taste, and being fashionably up to date.

”Filipinos really love Sandara. One could say that flying her in is our way of showing our appreciation for everyone’s continued support of Sandara and Penshoppe,” adds Bascon. 

     Penshoppe- an international brand known as the youth’s guide to everyday fashion, over the last couple of years, has amassed a great following due to its ability to offer trendy yet reasonably priced clothes that allow anyone to look effortlessly stylish, as well as partnering with some of the biggest names in the international fashion and entertainment scene. Aside from Sandara, Penshoppe’s pool of brand ambassadors include Sean O’Pry, Mario Maurer, and most recently, Kendall Jenner and Lucky Blue Smith.

Miss Universe 2015 and Jollibee 'Shares the Joy' with Pinoy Kids

     Our Queen Pia may be busy as a bee after reigning Miss Universe last year but she will always make time to visit the country to spread joy to kids and kids-at-heart. Pia once interviewed in Buzzfeed Philippines and revealed that she's a Jollibee fan and loves chickenjoy!

     While writing this article, my tummy rumbles after seeing the word chickenjoy. Sharing more of what happened during Pia's second trip home after the jump.

Miss Universe 2015 and Jollibee 'Shares the Joy' with Pinoy Kids
DREAMS OF A QUEEN. The orphans of Manila’s ERMA Foundation were all excited and asked questions about how Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach made her dreams come true. She gamely answered the questions of the kids and even gave pieces of advice.

Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach trip to the country’s number one fastfood chain highlights:

1. On her second trip home since winning the much-coveted crown, the Miss Universe did not only drop by Jollibee, she also helped spread joy to 20 kids from an orphanage who were invited to a special Jollibee lunch party. 

Miss Universe 2015 and Jollibee 'Shares the Joy' with Pinoy Kids
SQUADGOALS. Jollibee and Friends joined Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach when she threw a kid’s party for Manila’s ERMA Foundation, a center for orphans. The kids spent the morning with dance numbers, surprise games, and sumptuous meals of Chickenjoy and sundaes, and special gifts from the Miss Universe herself.

2. The Jollibee Buendia-Bautista branch, on the border of the cities of Makati and Pasay, quickly turned into a playground for four- to eight-year-old kids who – like Pia and her entourage - were served with a filling meal of two-piece Chickenjoy, chocolate sundae, and Peach Mango Pie. They were also treated to a special dance number by the Jollibee and Friends mascots.

3. During the short program, Pia also imparted some life-lessons to the kids during the simple program. “Importante na lagi tayong maging magalang sa mga nakakatanda sa atin, mag-aaral ng mabuti, at parating magdasal, lalo na bago kumain (It is important that we are respectful to our elders, study well, and always pray, especially before meals),” said Pia, addressing the children.

Miss Universe 2015 and Jollibee 'Shares the Joy' with Pinoy Kids
JOLLIBAE. True blue childhood friends, Jollibee and Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach were reunited yesterday for a children’s party for the orphans at Manila’s ERMA Foundation. Growing up, Pia has always been a fan of the fastfood brand and even celebrated one of her memorable birthdays as a kid with a Jollibee party.

4. A symbol of hope and perseverance for Filipinos, Pia joined the local Binibining Pilipinas three times before winning the crown to represent the Philippines in the Miss Universe pageant. Her victory ended a 63-year drought since the country last won the Miss Universe crown and brought jubilation among Filipinos here and abroad. As a special gift to the kids, Pia distributed Jollibee toys and gamely posed for photos with them.

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule

     Okay, so I've realized that I'm already in the stage that I need to amp up my anti-aging skin care regimen. I'm thirty three years old to be exact and women at this age should be more concern in minimizing wrinkles, lift sagging skin, prevent hyper pigmentation, and other skin care dilemma in the anti-aging department.

     So today, I'll be sharing a review of another famous anti-aging plus whitening skin care supplement from Japan- Fracora Placenta Capsule. Does the word placenta scares the hell out of you?I presume that you're thinking of other kind of placenta but fret not as the main ingredient of this supplement was derived from porcine (pig) placenta. To know more about Fracora Placenta and why this anti-aging supplement is famous in Japan scroll down now!

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule

   
     Before trying this anti-aging product, I made a research. At first I'm not convinced and been contemplating if I really need to try this because it's not the usual whitening supplement that I've taken before. Took Fracora Placenta Capsule for a month and I'm quiet satisfied with the results. If there's a couple of supplements that I need to maintain for the rest of my life to age gracefully, methinks placenta and collagen supplement will be a mainstay in my anti-aging stash. Oh, I'll also be reviewing Meiji Amino Collagen this month too :)

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule
Three capsules before bedtime

     
     Since this is my first time to take placenta, I will not make a comparison with other brands thus will share my experience after finishing one pack. I took three soft gel capsules before bedtime with warm water. 

What I like:

• The packaging- it's in a handy and travel-friendly resealable pouch.
• It's in a soft gel capsule for faster absorption.
• It's easy to swallow since the size of each soft gel capsule is small compared to other supplements in the same form as fish oil, grapeseed extract, and other medicines.
• No weird or funky smell.
• It makes my skin glowing. A glow like that of a mirror reflecting light. 
• My skin feels soft and smooth to touch.
• I noticed that it somehow reduced the size of my pores in my nose and cheek area.
• It maintained my skin tone. I was in Batangas last holy week and we visited different churches for the Visita Iglesia. I basked in the sun for more than five hours. Of course, I have an umbrella with me and I applied sunblock too. It's very hot that day and without maximum protection, the heat and the air can also contribute to skin darkening. Since I'm taking Fracora, I guess it's an added protection against intense sunlight.
• It made me sleep better at night.
• No allergies, breakouts, or whatsoever.
• Batch, manufacturing, and expiry date printed at the bottom of the packaging.

What I don't like:

• The price- steep for budget conscious individuals.
• I did not notice any whitening effect as what the product claims on its benefit.
• Can only be purchased online.
• Neutral on the wrinkles part as I don't have visible wrinkles yet. 

Will I repurchase: Yes, it's possible!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. I think I need more than a month to see the effects on wrinkles and sagging skin. If you're in your middle and late twenties, I suggest you incorporate anti-aging skin care products into your daily regimen. If you wanna age gracefully, investing in topical anti-aging products is a must. If you have the extra budget and you think that it's time to take anti-aging a step further, then taking anti-aging supplements will do.

     I can say placenta supplement is best combined with collagen so, in my next review, I will share with you another collagen supplement that I'm currently road testing and will finish a can soon. But for now, I will still recommend this supplement if you want to start adding an anti-aging supplement in your usual whitening one.

Good Times!~

DISCLAIMER: This product was sent to me by Cheska's Online Store for review. The views expressed here are my honest opinion about the product. What works for me may not work for you or vice versa. I don't take placenta on a regular basis. My review is based on my experience during the time and period I'm taking it.
