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!

Bing Loyzaga's Journey with Marie France

It was my privilege to be a part of an intimate meet and greet with Bing Loyzaga especially because the event was an intimate interview with Bing. (All photos courtesy of Occasions of Joy ) Bing has had her share of ups and downs when it comes to her weight, especially being in an industry that constantly expects one to look good and be in great shape. So in her late 30s, she had liposuction done on her arms and legs. “When you see yourself in the mirror at home after the procedure, yes you're thin. But when I removed the bandages, I saw myself with cuts and bruises. That's when I cried and felt like I betrayed myself. Sinaktan ko ang sarili ko.” Her daughters Alyssa and Gabby were with her as she recovered, tending her wounds and changing her bandages. “After I had the procedure done, my daughters made me promise not to go under the knife again.” Unfortunately, she gained back the weight. To make matters worse, she was recently diagnosed with hypothyroi...

Bubbleman Dishwasher: Gentle on skin

Having a sensitive skin is such a pain. Ang hirap humanap ng products that would suit my skin. When I became a full-time housewife, doon ko nalaman kung gaano kahirap lalo na kapag hugas ako ng hugas ng mga pinagkainan. I had a hard time looking for a dishwasher that is both budget-friendly, effective sa pagtanggal ng mga dumi at sebo and skin-friendly. Last year, mga December ito. Ate Joy gave us 1 bottle to use. I'm amazed dahil hindi nangati yun skin ko sa hand after using it. Imagine, everytime ako maghuhugas ng pinggan, kailangan kong mag-gloves! So when I read sa label na it's gentle on skin, I tried using it without gloves just to prove kung gentle nga ba sya. Natuwa naman ako kasi hindi nag-react yun maarte kong skin after kong maghugas. At dahil natuwa ako ng todo, ginamit ko na din sya panlinis ng ref namin, mga surfaces ng kitchen area, mga tulo ng drinks ni Yuri sa floor. I like the fact na effective itong ipanlinis aside sa plates and utensils, pero pwede din ...
