Jordan's Premiere BEAUTY SECRETS Mud Products To Launch This December 2015

I admit, when  it comes to beauty stuff I'm actually a late bloomer. There are a lot of beauty products available in the market and product reviews all over the world wide web but I'm just hesitant to try because my first time wasn't a pleasant experience and that was during my college days. I stopped using anything on my face except soap and water and it took a while before I had the courage to give some beauty products a try. Another reason is because I breastfed my youngest, and some ingredients are not safe for me and my baby. But here I am now, exploring the world of beauty. I know I have more to discover!

When you hear the word Mud what comes to your mind? I don' know about you but for a late bloomer like me, it's  unlikely to be associated with beauty, but I was wrong. And, last Friday November 13th we got to unveil a secret from one of the renowned beauty brand in the world- BEAUTY SECRETS.

I together with other fellow Bloggers were invited to get to know their products more, the event was held at their second home, the sister company of BEAUTY SECRETS, AL BATRA Coffee Shop and Restaurant.

BEAUTY SECRETS, the only brand in the world that has the widest range of FACIAL MUD PRODUCTS from THE DEAD SEA. Did you know that the mud from the dead sea has been used for generations but only BEAUTY SECRETS uses ALL NATURAL ingredients which are compliant with European Cosmetics Standards and with ISO 22716 certification. They are already available in 65 countries in the Middle East, Europe, Russia, Africa, Ukraine, USA, Canada, Asia and will soon be available in major malls in the Philippines this December 2015!

Only BEAUTY SECRETS PRODUCTS FACIAL MUD and it's other products from the DEAD SEA has 21 minerals like Magnesium, Potassium, Chloride, Bromide, Sodium, Iodine, Calcium to name a few and natural ingredients like Aloe Vera, Collagen, Sage, Chamomile, Avocadine, Jojoba, Vitamin E and Genger roots.

At the event, an experiential demonstration was done to which I actually learned a lot. I can't believe how many steps a beauty regimen could take, but I guess there's no shortcut to achieving a beautiful skin. 

Products used

Ms. Richelle Molon and Ms. Alice Mate;

 Bloggers who volunteered to be our models for the night.

After applying the FACIAL MUD, what's next? If your answer is to rinse it off with water, you are wrong. We found out that you just have to let it come off using your fingers or with a facial wipes then apply a facial cream. Surprised? 

Our models looking fresh after the demo.

After the demonstration and few discussions, we were served with delectable authentic Mediterranean/Persian cuisine for dinner which you should give a try when in Makati. It was indeed a fun and relaxing experience. I'm glad to be part of the event because personally, I believe that their products are very promising and the fact that they are 100% natural is a great plus for me.

With more than 120 plus products, BEAUTY SECRETS, the model of consistent product philosophy and uncompromising quality face, body and spa treatment, is distributed by Jordan's Premiere Beauty Secret Inc.

BEAUTY SECRETS Corporation had been established in the beginning of 2004 by a group of experts in dermatology, chemistry, marketing, advertising and finance backed up with the most modern research laboratories in Jordan, United States, France and Switzerland. The experts from these countries came up with a magnificent line of skin care products and furthermore, innovated the blending of natural herbal and floral fruity extracts with minerals for personal or for spa use.

I can't wait to try mine! Thanks Jordan Premiere Beauty Secret Inc.

Watch out for their launching this December 2015 they will be available in major malls and if you want to experience a personalized facial and body scrub treatment, you can book an appointment.

Farmstay's Snail Slime: the latest Korean beauty secret is now in the Philippines!

Whenever I see Koreanovelas on TV I can't help but admire these Korean actresses who seem to have porcelain like skin, wow just flawless! What could be their beauty secret or are they born with it? These are just some of the questions I have in mind. Fortunately I was one of the invited bloggers to spend "Me Time" with Farmstay, to celebrate beauty and relaxation as they launch their products here in the Philippines.

The event was held at Blue Water Day Spa Ortigas last October 28, 2015. 

Indeed a perfect place to celebrate beauty and relaxation.

Finally, Filipinas too, can now have a chance to look like Korean ulzzangs (literally "best face") with the arrival of a new Korean beauty wonder in the country.

From BB creams, CC creams, hydrating sheet masks, cushion makeup, now they've come up with something even more exotic yet organic - snail slime.

Studies show that snail lime contains a perfect balance of proteins, hyaluronic acid and antioxidants which offer various benefits like stimulating the production of elastin and collagen. Elastin is the "rubber band" of skin- it makes the skin "snap back" to it's original shape after being stretched or contracted. Collagen, on the other hand, is a protein that supports skin, keeping it strong and firm.

source

Snail lime had its beginnings in Chile, when Chilean farmers who were exporting snail to restaurants in Europe noticed that the skin on their hands became extremely soft and injuries and cuts also healed quickly without becoming infected.

In the past years, cosmetic products from Korea have risen to the forefront of the international beauty scene making it as the Asian mecca for beauty innovation. This is justified by the majority of Koreans known for their flawless complexions that defy aging.

Did you know? Koreans have their very own-10-step beauty regimen which involves makeup removal, cleansing, exfoliating, toning, essence, ampoule, sheet mask, eye cream, emulsion, and night cream; to which they owe their youthful and fair complexion to!

Some of Farmstay's snail products are Snail Repair Cream, Snail  Pure Cleansing

Foam, Visible Difference Snail Eye Cream,  Moisture Soothing  Gel Snail, All-in-One Snail BB Cream, and Snail Hand Cream. Farmstay is exclusively imported from Korea and distributed in the Philippines by McDell Healthcare Products, Inc.

McDell Healthcare Products, Inc. a Filipino-owned company engaged in the manufacture, import, marketing, and distribution of beauty, health and wellness products, encourages every Filipina to be beautiful as it offers unique, innovative, and organic beauty products that will surely bring out the best in her.

According to McDell Healthcare Products, Inc. Marketing Manager Nancy Pereyras:

 "It is McDell's goal to bring Korea's technical advances in skincare to be more accessible and affordable to Filipinos as we bring Farmstay products here in the Philippines.

Unlike other brands in the market which are marked with strong scents, Farmstay products have a light smell as they are made with natural ingredients."

At the event, Farmstay's brand ambassador was also revealed,  Ms. Lisette Lim Benedicion,a true epitome of beauty and passion. Lisette represents many young professional Filipinas who are career driven but still puts a premium on taking care of themselves.

"I chose to partner with Farmstay because I wanted more Filipinas to benefit from this beauty secret. I believe that these products that help bring out the best version of ourselves can help up in the pursuit of our passion." - Lisette

She is currently pursuing Bachelor of Science in Dentistry at the University of the East in Manila. She has appeared in various fashion and lifestyle magazines promoting awareness on the true essence of beauty with a purpose.

Lisette and the McDell Team sharing beauty tips during the Q and A portion.

Now, Filipinas don't have to go to various stores for their skin care essentials because Farmstay, a unique line of organic Korean beauty products, will be their next one-stop to get that Korean ulzzang look!

The product launch was definitely a huge success, Congratulations Farmstay and Mcdell Team! I surely enjoyed that much needed "Me time" thanks for having me :) 

 Korean-Japanese food to fill our tummy. 

A very relaxing foot reflexology and massage while watching movies.

I got to try some of their products. I started with the Snail Pure Cleansing Foam, Grape Stem Cell Anti-Aging Toner, Snail Repair Cream and Visible Difference Snail BB Cream. With just one use I immediately fell in love with the Cleansing Foam and the BB Cream. 

Look! We also get to take home some Farmstay essentials. :)

Product review soon!

It was very nice meeting some of my fellow bloggers at the event too.

Thank you so much Card Cruz for inviting me :)

Hairtastic Makeover at Mary Pauline Salon, Starmall Las Piñas

Naturally i have a wavy, porous and a simply thick hair, that’s why I opt for a hair rebond every now and then. Recently I have noticed that my hair is starting to have more volume and some waves so I decided to have my hair rebonded again besides it’s been more than a year already since my last. Also I wanted to have a new look for my upcoming birthday, being a a mom doesn't mean that I have to stop looking good right?

With the increase in the number of salon establishments nowadays we sure got lots of options to choose from, but as a mom there are actually 3 things that i consider before availing any services. First is the price, Is it affordable? Money doesn’t just grow on trees so we have to be wise, set a budget and try to stick with it. Second is the Quality, should i elaborate more on this? Third is location, is it accessible? How far and how long is my travel time going to be? All of which seems to fit the newly opened branch of Mary Pauline Salon Star Mall Las Pinas Branch last October 3rd and they have really good deals that you definitely don't want to miss out for the month of October! Luckily I was invited by the beautiful Ms. Bianca Festejo to try any of their promo packages.

Mary Pauline Salon is just beside the cinema at the 2^nd level of the mall so it’s very easy to locate.

 Upon entering the salon, the first thing you’ll see is the TV, the waiting or reception area on the opposite side so while waiting for your turn you and your companion can watch and won’t get bored. The Salon looks neat in its white interior with a very classy design and some touch of green which is very relaxing to the eye.

Here's their promo rate till the end of the month of October only! I'll probably go here even if I'm not from Las Pinas! Note: It's for any length!

I went there last Thursday, October 15 and arrived at around 3PM. I availed Package D which consists of "Rebond + Permanent hair color + keratin treatment + hair cut" because I really wanted to get a better hair color. I would suggest package C if ever your already satisfied with you hair color so you can get cellophane which is an extra treatment to give your hair that beautiful shine and luster.

Me saying goodbye to my old look :D

Shampoo area

After shampooing my hair, it was then blow dried before applying the hair color.

The whole process takes 4-5 hours, quite long right? Don't fret though cause they have magazines, music playing for a more lively vibe and the friendly staffs whom I was able to make Chika in between the treatments. I was offered coffee or iced tea and sandwich which was well appreciated. They see to it that you are getting only the best of their service.

 This is the product they used to color my hair. They also make sure that the products they use are of good quality.

 I was styled by sir JR their senior stylist. (It always makes me feel safe to be styled by a senior stylist)

The 5 hours of Tiis Ganda moments wasn't as dull as i expected. I found with my Chika moments, how the staffs really seem to enjoy and appreciate their work. ^_^

 It was already past 8 PM when we finished yet the salon is still full packed with customers. The staffs are all busy with their thing.

I was also able to meet the owner, the beautiful and kind Ms. Bianca Festejo.

I know you are already excited to see how my makeover turned out, so without further ado, here it is!

Tada! Photo taken at home so it was already exposed outside.

I really wanted a lighter hair color so I chose the "Ash blonde" but I was informed that since my hair is dark, it wont be as blonde as how I want it to be. It was a good thing that they told me about it, at least I didn't expect too much. I also like how they give tips of what's going to happen instead of simply discouraging customers from what they originally want. I love how it turned out though and next time, I'll be able to achieve lighter colors. I also had a side bangs done and had my hair trimmed at the tip since my husband wants me to keep it long this time. One of the things i like about the treatment is how refreshing it is to know that my hair doesn't have that foul scent that you usually have to put up with for the next 3 days. Most especially since i have three kids who are so sensitive to smell.

3 days after being able to wash my hair.
I feel and look young with my new hairdo. It definitely boosts my self confidence, thanks to Mary Pauline Salon! 

 Proper hair care and monthly treatment is a must if you wish to maintain your beautiful locks and good thing they got it covered. A loyalty card will be given to you after your first treatment and on your 6th visit you get yourself a free one! Freebies anyone?

What I really look for in any company is their sense of ownership which Mary Pauline Salon Starmall LasPinas clearly exudes. The reason I say this is because as I've experience and read from their post if ever customers are not happy they do offer a free retouch to make your hair even better. Respectively because client satisfaction is their main priority. Overall i can say that they truly deliver. Price, Quality and Location wise I am really satisfied. Even without the promo, their prices are more affordable compared to other known Salons. You get what you truly want and deserve. It's money well spent!

The Tshirt Project Spoof Shirts

I've seen this brand a couple of times before but had only, recently gotten the chance to take a closer look on what they offer.

It was a fun and an amazing experience to be able to browse the different designs they have. The wittiness of the statement shirts and spoof brands is just pure epic.

Store Locations

I couldn't stop myself from buying these two awesome shirts for me and my wife. I normally cringe at the idea of couple shirts but these are too fun to pass.

The shirts cost 519.00 each when i had bought those at an online store that's affiliated with "The Tshirt Project" They usually have a random sale going unfortunately, I bought mine before the sale LOL.

Summary? The design itself made it the right decision for me and it's definitely a plus factor that the cloth feels nice. Unlike some of the shirts that I've check which for me are a tad too thin to wear. 

Got my Dad the "The Incredible Hunk" Shirt, My Father in law the "Pray Boy" Shirt and the Spoof Shirt of "The Avengers Shield"  ^_^ can't wait for them to be delivered too.
