Panadol (Paracetamol) for More Quality Time with the Family

Saturday, March 28, 2015

    To my family and close friends, nerve cracking headache is my weakness. I experience around 5 bouts of nerve pounding headache every month. They call me the "headache girl" because I always experience headache when I get only 5 hours of sleep, when I have my monthly period, when there's a sudden change in weather, and when I'm stressed! Paracetamol is a mainstay in our medicine cabinet, I've been suffering from chronic headache when I was in high school. I've tried more than 5 brands of paracetamol in the past and other forms of pain reliever but I think I'm already immune because some of them can't do their job in easing the pain the I feel every time headache attacks.

     GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the global leading healthcare company commits itself on improving the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer with (paracetamol) Panadol® as the world’s trusted pain reliever, sold in more than 85 countries. Even before this campaign, I've already tried Panadol and yes this caplet works faster than the leading brand of paracetamol in the market today.

Thursday, March 26, 2015

     As what I always tell you, I'm already fair to begin with but not when summer season comes. I'm always out in the sun. I run errands in the afternoon where the sun is high up in the sky. My skin is prone to darkening and I always get uneven skin tone that soap alone cannot address if I'll rely on it alone. It takes a couple of months to see the effects of whitening soaps that I've tried before because I have fair skin so I always measure the effectiveness on uneven areas or mosquito bites.

     I presume you've seen my review of Belo Intensive Whitening Bar- Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid. I like the soap so much and became a mainstay in my bath essentials. Now they came up with another promising and effective products to combat darkening caused by sun exposure and stubborn dark spots caused by insect bites or let say small wounds and scratches. Have you seen their latest products? If not then let me introduce to you Belo Intensive Whitening Face and Neck Cream and Belo Intensive Whitening Lotion, 2 powerful products that will make whitening more intensive from head to toe! Click CONTINUE READING now and discover the trio for fast and effective skin lightening :)

     I've been using these products for 2 weeks now. I use the products twice daily and I'm so happy that it did not cause any negative effects on my skin even if I'm out in the afternoon around 1:00-4:00 pm because I fetch my son at school. I travel from one place to another riding the tricycle and the jeepney. My skin is expose to sun's UV rays but I'm not afraid because these products contain spf30.

     Here's the BEFORE and AFTER photos of my left thigh for your reference. I had mosquito bites that turned a bit red and became dark the 2nd day so I religiously use the SET for almost 3 weeks and saw a big difference :) 

Product Review: Belo Intensive Whitening Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid Soap, Lotion, Face and Neck Cream

What I like:
  • The packaging of the soap, lotion and face cream is simple. The box of the soap is sleek, handy and unique. The soap is sealed in plastic upon opening the box, guaranteed freshness. The jar of face cream is sturdy and has a plastic lid with spatula. Thumbs up for the tiny spatula, first time to encounter a face cream where I'll be scooping the product without the use of bare hands :)
  • The special soap and face cream box contains interesting quotes that I'm sure will inspire you every time you use the product.
  • The scent of the lotion and the face cream is powdery but mild while the scent of the soap is sweet but not overpowering.
  • The soap produces a good lather and doesn't melt fast while the lotion and face cream have the same thick consistency so a little amount of product goes a long way.
  • The face cream is easy to apply, non-greasy and no heavy feel after application.
  • The lotion is easily absorbed and doesn't feel icky and greasy even on a hot summer day.
  • The price- it's very affordable for a set of three products that effectively lighten dark marks on my thigh.
  • There's a certain glow on my skin after using the face cream and the lotion.
  • The face cream and lotion contains Spf 30. 
  • This set made my skin supple, smooth and soft to touch!
  • The set is very easy to use.
  • No irritation, allergies, breakouts, or whatsoever.
  • Easily accessible.
  • Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package.
  • Dermatologist tested. Clinically proven.

What I don't like:
  • None so far!

Will I repurchase? Yes! Belo Intensive Whitening Set will be a mainstay in my skincare essentials. 

Recommendation:
     I give this set a 4.75/5 rating! This trio is perfect to maintain skin tone this season and if you're afraid of sun exposure while using a whitening product because it has SPF 30 but it is still best to use sunblock for added skin protection. Using the products as instructed is the best way to whiten skin in as fast as 2 weeks.

     You've seen my photos, it's true to the claim of getting stubborn dark marks. I'm also surprised because I really had a hard time before on how to lighten pesky mosquito bites on my thighs and legs. I highly recommend Belo Intensive Whitening Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid Soap, Lotion, Face and Neck Cream if you want to have a fair, smooth and glowing skin!

5 Makeup Hacks You Never Thought About

Monday, March 23, 2015

     Craving to carry an enigmatic look? Well, to start with, let’s have a brief look at how our makeup industry transformed with those innocent and innovative hacks. It’s been thousands of years that Egyptians made use of aromatic oils to soften their skin soft and cover body odours. Imagine what you call them today! They are popular as moisturizers and deodorants.


     Around 600 decades back, Egyptians daubed kohl around their eyes and today they have come to be known as eye liners.

     Going in the same line, the people of China around 1000 years back coloured their nails with something that is a melange of egg, gum, gum Arabic, gelatine and beeswax. Guess what we call them today? They are the stunning, glossy and colourful nail polish. 

     Further down the timeline, Japanese used rice powder to waxen their faces. Today, you call that loose powder. 

     Aren’t they cool and smart? Wait a moment before you arrive to a conclusion. With loud popularity of the Internet, this present generation has discovered some crazy, off-beat and alluring make-up hacks that you can attempt at home. Here, steal a look at the 5 most surprising make up hacks.

Locycare Nail Gel Launch #BareThoseNails

Sunday, March 22, 2015

     Can you #BareThoseNails? I presume the answer will not be a resounding yes but half yes, half maybe and mostly no. If you love painting your nails on a daily basis, I will not be surprised if you can't bare those nails. I'm sure that long time nail polish users are worrying about the state of their nails. Nail polishes look pretty in our nails but in the long run, it will take its toll not only in the nail bed but also on the surrounding parts like the cuticle and free edge.

     While putting on nail colors is aesthetically pleasing, have you ever thought how these products, from one application to another, may adversely affect the condition of your nail plates? Nail polishes contain chemicals that may affect the condition of your nails that's why proper care should be accompanied every time you opt to have your manicure and pedicure in at your favorite nail spa or at the comfort of your own home. Without proper care, unhealthy, dull and discolored nails will result and there are times can pose minor health risk. We don't want that to happen, right? So here's a great news for nail polish addicts! Galderma Philippines introduces Locycare Nail Gel. To know more about the product, click CONTINUE READING and join me as I #BareThoseNails!
