Melacep Plus™ Luminous System

I have been battling adult acne since last year. I don't know what triggered it, but it made me really self-conscious. I have to be honest, it did affect my business since I came back to Mary Kay last year. I was self-conscious. Very very self-conscious! 
I mean, how can a beauty consultant like me who sells skin care products make a profit when my own skin isn't healthy? 

There are many causes to adult acne. Its totally different from adolescent pimple breakout which subsides as we pass the teenager stage. I think the number one culprit is stress. Then theres hormonal-imbalance, poor hygiene, unhealthy lifestyle, etc.

Last year was a point in our couple life where we are at the lowest. I was stressed out. I started gaining weight, lost my will to take care of myself. Felt that there wasn't any point in maintaining my beauty regimens because I'm not really going anywhere. I felt stuck. Ugly. Unsuccessful. Unwanted. My first 3 months in the business was a dilemma. I couldn't sell. I don't book appointments because I was ashame to show up to my clients and teach them how to take care of their skin. I am good at make up though. However, putting on make up is just like painting: one cannot paint on a dirty canvass. 

I started using Melacep Plus™ Luminous System Serum around January, then they launched the Cleanser around February. I still had several major breakouts in my forehead and cheeks, but it became minimal and only get a few around my period cycle. 

No, it isn't an acne-treatment product. However, it worked on me!

What it really aims is to give our skin an even tone, translucency, luminousity, softness, and it helps reduce those pesky dark spots like freckles (pekas) and acne scars. Also protect skin from further damage from the sun and environment, giving you a youthful glow.

What I love about this product is it doesn't just lighten the outer layer of the skin, but goes down to the inner layer as well. Hence, the no-instant result because it is true to its promise to reveal a brighter (not whiter) and even out skin in 4 to 6 weeks.



No filter selfie. As you can see, I still have visible dark-spots which slowly fades. Also notice that luminous glow? If you notice Korean and Japanesez they have luminous-dewy looking skin, that's what Melacep Plus™ Luminous system offers.







With Make-up! Mas madali na mag-make up since almost clear na ulit ang skin ko. Going for the korean-dewy look.

Mas tipid na ako sa concealer ngayon. Dati 1kg ang bigat ng make up ko, ngayon 1/4 nalang!  Hehe!

Spring hangover all-year

I didn't know that there are lots of videos in youtube about unboxing or more like cracking eggs with bits of surprises inside. If I had know that these videos would attract many kids, I would have uploaded Izhi's homemade egg-hunting experience a long time ago. I tried looking for online shops who sells these kind of chocolate eggs, and found out that it was unreasonably expensive. Like its P150 for 2 pieces of eggs, and I'm like what! So I did not continue with the purchase, instead I asked Waldy if he can find small eggs in the market with candies inside. Unfortunately, it was out of stock that day.  Last night, we went at Ate Joy's house for Kuya John's birthday dinner, and I told her that Yuri is so into eggs lately because of these videos that he keeps on playing with the marbles egg decorations in their house. Luckily, she saved some of the eggs from their previous egg-hunt and gave it to Yuri. So today, I bought some small toys like cars and motor...

With Great Fashion Comes Great Confidence

Gone are the days when I used to fit in Small or Extra Small clothes. Nevertheless, I still consider myself a fashionista. At 32, I learned that confidence doesn't just rely on measurements. It comes with maturity, loving and knowing yourself and the body you have right now. Having two children, I learned that motherhood is never an excuse to let yourself go and not get all dolled-up and dressed-up from time to time. Aside from that, being an Independent Beauty Consultant, gives me a sense of responsibility to set an example and to make other women feel important and beautiful. To teach them to embrace their best assets and be proud of themselves. " You need to walk the talk in order for you to lead." Feeling like a queen at Mary Kay Career Conference 2017 At Manila Hotel for Mary Kay Philippine Seminar 2017. My fashion inspiration for this outfit is Gretchen Barreto. Her style is always a mix of feminine and sophistication. At Mary Kay Beauty Center ...

July was the most challenging month for us as a family. Rainy season has begun and of course, along comes influenza virus everywhere. Izhi caught the virus first since she' more exposed to the outside community. Add to the fact that she's busy with school and Karate training, she's more prone to germs and viruses. I later realized that staying indoors doesn't necessarily mean that we are safe from all the germs and the illnesses that goes with it. After a week, Yuri caught the fever, cough and flu which developed to a serious bronchitis. To make the situation worst, Yuri also caught Dengue Fever!  I had posted about this on my FB page, https://www.facebook.com/lizziethebusybee/, where I asked for prayers for Yuri since we were admitted to the hospital already that time. As a mother, it breaks my heart to see my children went through this. It pains me to look at their troubled faces as they sleep restlessly through the night. We both struggled. On my par...
