Gluta White and Firm Products

// June 4th, 2008 // 19 Comments » // Body Love

Now that summer’s almost over, some of us would want to go back to our fair selves. Or also, some of us would want to even our skin tones and scream “flawless.” Glutathione has been all the rage because aside from its big boost of antioxidants that is beneficial to the body, it also makes the skin lighter, and more even, as a “side effect.” ( some just love that “side effect!” ). Most glutathione that I’ve seen is in the capsule form, and it’s the first time that I’ve encountered a skin care line devoted for it.

Say hello to Gluta White & Firm. This skin care line uses glutathione in its premiere strength combined with L-Carnitine ( a compound that helps burn fat ), Lipofirm, and Clair Blanche ( a unique fusion of 7 active ingredients known to inhibit melanin formation ) to obtain maximum benefits to the skin such as whitening, and giving the skin a supple, healthy young glow. The line promises to whiten as early as two weeks.

Kikay Kits Review : Ilog Maria Spearmint Honey & Oatmeal Soap

// May 5th, 2008 // No Comments » // Body Love

Reminiscing my trip to the south weeks ago, one of the most memorable stopovers sure was the Ilog Maria Bee Farm. Being the kikay girl that I am, that place was just paradise for me – being in a roomful of organic health and beauty products just made my day. That day, I bought Ilog Maria soaps in mini sizes to try them to decide which big sizes I will be purchasing via their website as soon as I finish them all.

I’m already on my second bar of their Lavender Honey Soap which, in my opinion, is the best bedtime shower soap, ever. But then, it’s not always night time, is it? We also have mornings that we must pull ourselves our of bed, and indulge ourselves in a morning shower that is energizing, refreshing, and delightful!

Kikay Favorite : Myra E Hand and Body Lotion

// April 9th, 2008 // 4 Comments » // Body Love

Contains Vitamin E Beads which gently burst onto your skin.

To all my kikay readers out there, let me just announce that I have a new favorite hand and body lotion, and it’s the Myra E Hand and Body Lotion!

I was able to try Myra E Hand and Body Lotion one hot summer day in my mom’s room. My mom is such a lotion addict, that she’d jump in glee whenever I’d give her lotions from Marks and Spencer, and recently, I’ve handed my Elizabeth Arden hand cream to her ( which is a cult favorite ), since she loved to collect lotions. I was fresh from a bath, and I became curious with a cute tube that says Myra E. I thought – Myra E has Vitamin E capsules, then they have their facial wash and moisturizers, now, they have hand and body lotions? How cool is that?

Give Your Skin Some EVCO Lovin` With Nutrizen

// January 9th, 2008 // 1 Comment » // Body Love, Skin Love

Last year, during bazaar season, I was able to bump into an old client of mine, Emily, and found out that her family’s into the beauty business, as well! I bumped into her during the Wack Wack Yuletide Blessings Bazaar and La Vista Bazaar as she and her siblings were manning a stall there that sold Nutrizen products.

And then of course, the curious kikay cat, me, started asking tons of questions.

Nutrizen turned out to be a company that exports virgin coconut oil based products abroad, and also sell some of their products here. I picked up a very wonderfully scented Tea Tree Oil Shampoo and Conditioner from them, but lost it somewhere. * sniff *. In effect, I bought a bottle of Tea Tree Oil Shampoo to test it again ( review, to follow ). How could I resist? The scent is just too minty that I love it so much. Any minty shampoo entices me.

Scion Roll-On Deodorant

scion deodorant

Scion must be one of the mildest, and sneakiest roll-on deodorants that I have tried in my entire life. And I mean sneaky, because it doesn’t even make you feel that you have deo on, but you are assured of a day’s worth of freshness, no perspiration, and just an absolute clean feeling.

A Kikay’s Holiday Stress Part Two

// December 30th, 2007 // No Comments » // Body Love

Here’s a continuation of A Kikay’s Holiday Stress Part 1. All I can say is that, it’s freezing cold lately!

4. Flaking skin
With the course of Beauty & Minerals joining various bazaars, I’ve noticed that alot of my clients have complained about flaking skin. Yes, the abrupt drop in temperature further confuses the skin more, and makes it dry, flaky, even if it is oily. Confusion, confusion!

Solution : The fast way to get rid of the flakies superficially is after applying foundation, spritz it with Evian moisture mist. It makes the skin dewier, and hides the flakes. With the cold weather, be vigilant about applying moisturizer, even SPF, to keep the skin in balance.

Brrr!!! Can you feel the weather? It’s cold and it’s rainy, and some of us would rather stay at home , snuggle with a book or pillow, and drift away to dreamland while enjoying the weather!

Indulge in a luxurious, relaxing, hot shower ( Sigh! )
During night time, indulge in a very slow, relaxing skin care ritual as you apply facial mask to pamper your skin!
Get a lipbalm and give your lips some lovin`! Cold weather makes lips dry and chappy.
Invade the pantry and the fridge for some natural hair recipes!
Join the Kikay Kits Contest – you just might win this Skin Care Set!
