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!

Celeb for a Day

Being a mom is rewarding and hard.  More often, we neglect our own selves because we always have to put our families before us. There are mommies who juggles family and career at the same time. Stay-at-home moms who focus in taking care of the family and household chores. Mommies who are working at home, doing online business, direct-selling, by appointment businesses like Financial Planners. Single-mothers who are both mom/dad and the breadwinner of the family. The list goes on. For every family, there is a unique kind of supermoms. I felt ecstatic when Waldy told me that I was one of the 5 chosen moms who will get a make over from SM Woman. He nominated me for SM Supermom Makeover and got picked out of more than 500 nominees. It was awesome!  I got a small glimpse of what celebrities and hosts do in photo and video shoots. We had before and after pictorial, professional make up artist and a professional stylist, Levenson Rodriguez to give us a day of transfo...

Lily's Peanut Butter in Lite Version

I grew up eating Lily's Peanut Butter so I'm happy that there's a lite version now for older people like me.  People are becoming more and more aware of the health value of the things they eat and drink. And by the looks of things, this emphasis on health is becoming more than just a simple fad; health consciousness is here to stay. Lily’s Peanut Butter, already 60 years in the industry, saw this rise in health consciousness, and has adapted accordingly through the peanut butter that has become a staple of many a Filipino household. After more than half a century of winning Filipino palates, Newborn Food Products Inc., the maker of Lily’s Peanut Butter, launched its newest product line, Lily’s Peanut Spread Lite, last August 14 at the Lily’s Lite in the City event, held at the Trinoma Activity Center, Quezon City. The whole-day event, hosted by athlete-turned-celebrity-host Gretchen Ho, actor-model CJ Reyes, and singer-model John Pol Dimaculanga...
