Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve on a Pamper Me Sunday

May 7, 2018 / Filed Under: anti-aging, beauty, moisturizer, moisturizer, Skin Care

It’s been such a busy and exhausting week, and it is just right that I end it with a “Pamper Me Sunday”. I am always puyat since I am a morning person, I wake up everyday at 3am, no matter what time I sleep at night. Of course, I prefer to be in bed by 8pm but it rarely happens because I have two kids. One is taking advantage of Summer vacation and one has an ever changing sleep pattern.

Then there’s work, taking care and worrying about my mom who’s bedridden at the moment, and stress…. and more stress. With this upon me week after week, I feel that de-stressing once in a while is in order. But everyday is a busy day, and I don’t have a lot of time to spare. Well, Sephora PH has got good news for me. I can now have a 5-minute facial right at home with Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Mask.

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Mask (₱4,015) is a 5-minute facial designed to combat signs of tired and overstressed skin, revealing incredibly smooth and radiant results after just one use. It revives and recovers tired and overstressed skin from daily stressors back to its radiant and youthful complexion.

It is powered by lotus flower extract, the key ingredient in Fresh’s proprietary Super 7 Complex, a blend of skin-smoothing sea ingredients and lotus seeds, this creamy and comforting formula fights against 4 signs of stress: dullness, rough texture, uneven tone, and dryness, revealing smooth and radiant skin.

Now, onto my Pamper Me Sunday…

Sunday morning is when I get to relax and watch my favorite shows like Ru Paul’s Drag Race while I drink my coffee… after my coffee was when I decided to give Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Mask a try.

This is what it looks like in the jar and at the back of my hand….

.. and what it looks like on my face. It has bits of seaweeds…

As per directions, I applied a generous layer of the mask on my face using a circular motion. I left it on for five minutes then I added a bit of warm water and I massaged my skin. I also used warm water to rinse in off. After drying my face with a towel, I noticed that my skin is super soft to the touch and is smoother.

Next, I applied the Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream (₱3,236) which is a universal daily moisturizer that also has the Super 7 Complex and is proven to provide 24 hours of moisture.

So what do I think about my Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve experience? Well, it really brings back dull skin to life. It makes skin smootth and soft even after just one use. I love how the moisturizer feels in my skin — it’s hydrating and refreshing at the same time. Looking at it’s price, well, it can be a bit costly but we can treat our mommy skin from to time if our budget permits, can we not?

It’s really amazing what even a 5-minute facial can do to my skin… and my soul. We really have to pause and relax , and show love to ourselves from time to time.

Sabi nga ni mama Ru Paul – “If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”

Can I get an Amen, mommies? heehee

SK-II Facial Treatment Repair C From Sephora PH

August 7, 2017 / Filed Under: anti-aging, beauty, Skin Care

For years, skin care hasn’t been on the top of my priorities. It’s one of the reasons why I feel that I must keep up with all the time lost. So what I am crazy about these days are products that can give me clear, smooth, moisturized, and a more youthful skin.

When it comes to skin care, one of the trending products is SK-II as it is known to have specific products that fix the signs of aged and/or damaged skin. These products are packed with potent ingredients that act with precision, targeting the root cause of the problem and reviving the skin’s youthfulness.

Of course, when it comes to SK-II here in the Philippines, I don’t have to leave home to look for it because it’s all available online at Sephora PH.

Sephora is not only the leading chain of perfume and cosmetics stores in France, but also a powerful beauty presence in countries around the world. This is the reason why a lot of my friends were very excited when Sephora PH was launched. Aside from Sephora’s own private label, you can also get a wide arrange of products including including skincare, makeup, fragrance, body, and hair care both for men and women.

My first Sephora PH buy is this SK-II Facial Treatment Repair C. As per site description, it’s a nutrient-rich serum with a mix of concentrated Pitera™ and Hyaluronic acid, it reduces the appearance of wrinkles and roughness to refine skin texture and elasticity. The powerful, unique blend of concentrated PiteraTM and nature’s moisture magnets work to help maintain skin renewal while delivering anti-ageing benefits, leaving skin pumped with moisture, velvety smooth and younger looking.

Benefits

Reduces the appearance of fine lines
Improves the skin’s texture
Deeply moisturising
Leaves skin silky and smooth

It has all the things my skin needs at the moment. I got it for ₱5,528.

One of the things that I love about Sephora PH is that there’s a review section where you can check out other people’s experience with the product you want to buy. This is one of the things that helped me decide to try out this product.

My order arrived after a week. There are free samples for every order and for my SK-II order, I got two Get Glowin Platinum Masks (which are priced at ₱681, btw)

I am so happy with my Sephora PH experience and I would definitely order again. No worries about the delivery fee ’cause it’s FREE SHIPPING for orders ₱1,300 and above.

Kiss Aging Goodbye With Watsons

Kiss Aging Goodbye With Watsons

The realization that I should start taking really good care of my skin to prevent aging hit me in my early thirties. That’s when I started noticing spots on my face and felt that my skin tends to become dry. I guess it was the puyat, the stress, and the hectic life that’s making my skin age faster. So I bought some products that would help me in making those dark spots vanish and moisturizers to keep my skin hydrated.

These days, aging starts to manifest as early as your 20’s. Crow’s feet and laugh lines make an early appearance. Good thing Watsons is helping thousands of women Kiss Aging Goodbye in its latest anti-aging campaign.

Hosted by Patty Laurel, the Kiss Aging Goodbye campaign was launched last week at Watsons at The Podium.

Of course, the Kumare Bloggers was there, because we love anti-aging products!! and because we always laugh so hard when we’re together– laugh lines will definitely show on our faces if we don’t take care of it really well.
