Sale Alert : Elancyl Slimming Products, One Day Only!

// November 28th, 2007 // 1 Comment » // Body Love, Sale Alert!

This coming November 30, everyone starts to shop and go bargain hunting for the best gifts for friends and family! Why not give out beauty products for Christmas like I do?Slimming products, that is!

Elancyl is having a one day only sale this November 30 at all Rustans Essenses branches, slashing off 25% on all their products. Great deal for this luxury French body care brand to do so, for everyone would all be guilty from the eating that they would be doing this coming Holiday season!

Grab a tube of their Slimming Serum ( which I recommend – it’s so serumish that it doesn’t make me feel icky! ) and be prepared to lose some inches after the Holidays!

Beauty Is All I Need.

// November 27th, 2007 // 2 Comments » // Kikay Thoughts, Makeup

Me getting all hyped up!

In all these years of studying, dreaming of becoming either a bigshot Economist, product manager for a beauty brand, or an intimidating lawyer, I think I know what I really want to be.Beautiful. Hahaha. Yes, I want to be beautiful, feel beautiful, and make the world beautiful. I want to be a makeup artist, beauty problogger, and build a beauty empire someday. I believe that all of us have their special missions in life, and well, I bet that this is my mission. I’m not complaining because self esteem is twinned with happiness with oneself, and my dream is for everyone to always feel good about themselves no matter what. To be able to love, one must be able to say that she loves herself, first.

Korean Superstar Rain for CLEAR Shampoo

// November 20th, 2007 // 4 Comments » // Hair Love

If one brand deserves to get a marketing award for the year, I bet it would be CLEAR. It is CLEAR that they have exhausted every brilliant idea imaginable to make it BE everywhere – inside the mall, inside the Big Brother House, sponsor the most anticipated Maging Sino Ka Man Book 2, and just now, get the hottest Korean superstar, Rain, for a commercial.

Rain is one of the most successful Asian superstars as his name is not only famous in his home base, Korea. He has a steady fan base here in the Philippines, who listen to his songs, swoon over his impressive dancing, and gush over his telenovelas. He even did a concert in New York. He’s that good. He is all full of sex appeal and talent. God , woops, getting carried away!

Well, now that CLEAR is everywhere, what can you say about it? Is it a great product as it claims? I’d love to hear from you!

POND’S Flawless White Light Infusing Under-Eye Cream

// November 15th, 2007 // 12 Comments » // Eye Love

I’ve been watching alot of TV lately ( Marimar, hehehe ), and I was able to discover a new product ( or product line, for that matter ) of PONDS, one of their products being Pond’s Flawless White Visibly Lightening Day Cream.

This is the literature I got from Inquirer,

VAO-B3 is the Pond’s Institute’s patented complex of Vitamin E, Allantoin, Optics and Niacinamide that works hard on dark blemishes and gets straight to work, reducing the visible appearance of dark spots

The only two ingredients that are ear or eye friendly to be are allantoin which soothes the skin, and vitamin E that keeps skin young and supple, and upon research, niacinamide is one of the principal forms of Vitamin B3 that acts an an antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory properties. Well, this sounds promising! Another variant, which I am particularly interested on is the Ponds Flawless White Light Infusing Under-Eye Cream.
