Bing Loyzaga Lost 30lbs in 5 months! An Intimate Gathering with Marie France

I used to be 20lbs heavier during my China Teaching Days, I know I'm not in perfect shape now but I try my best not to get back to those days when I get comments like: "You should stop eating too much" or "Why are you so fat when you don't eat a lot?" or "You know what?  You can trim a bit of those flabs in your waist and you'll be a lot sexier!" and worst: "ANG TABA MO NA AH! MASARAP KUMAIN?"

I used to be chill about it and just smile and say: "Wala eh!  I'm happy!"  But at the back of my head, it's - "(insert expletives)....If I lose the weight, I'll show you!" 

But that didn't happen overnight, I tried all sorts of diet!  From the famous 6 o'clock diet to skipping meals!  I was really depressed deep inside to the point of feeling like a loser!  

So I vowed to myself never to give insensitive remarks to anyone I meet!  No matter how slim or fat they are, I knew I don't have the right to judge so I'd rather keep my mouth shut!

So when I got an invite from Marie France for an intimate get-together with their newest face Bing Loyzaga, I knew I had to be there!  Because I can totally relate!

To those "batang 90's" like me (ahem, in truth 80's talaga ako), you'll know Bing Loyzaga for her memorable Kontrabida roles.  Seeing her in the flesh at 45 years old made me realize, hey, getting old isn't scary at all!  If I can still look half as gorgeous as her, I'll be okay!

Unique Find: Leaders Insolution The Gold 24 Secret Mask

It all started when facial centers start to offer "gold" in their facial services.  Then, a skincare brand came up with "gold" as key ingredients of their products!  Then, I was able to try "gold in a foundation" (Royal Gold 24K Foundation review)

Who would've thought I'm giving "gold" as a skincare ingredient another try?  This time, as a mask called The Gold 24 Secret Mask from Leaders Insolution.

You probably understand how obsessed I am with Leaders Insolution Masks after Vita Bright!  I went from Vita Bright to trying out almost all the variant!  So I'm at the stage of going in a Leaders Insolution store (My favorite at Lucky Chinatown Mall) and automatically ask for "What's New"!

The most recent visit, I didn't even get the chance to open my mouth to ask when the SA happily exclaimed: "We have something new! You have to try it!"  

And so I did!

The Gold 24 Secret Mask

Php248.00 per sheet

Now why am I addicted to Leaders Insolution masks and why do I religiously use them at least once or twice a week?

THEY REALLY WORK!  And THE GOLD 24 Secret Mask is NO exception!

Let's talk about the mask sheet first!  Just like any Leaders Insolution masks, the quality of the mask sheets are extremely good and durable!  It was no surprise for me that The Gold 24 Secret Mask really is in GOLD!  It is almost "rubbery" and texture and can be stretched to fit your face!  I heard a bit of chuckle from photographer hubby when he mentioned how I look like a superhero when I wore half of the mask!  Okay, I think he meant Phanton of the Opera :P

What's unique with The Gold sheet is that, you get 2 parts, one for the upper portion of your face and the other half for the lower half.  As much as I am happy with sheet masks in ONE piece, I actually like the idea of this because it fits your face almost like a glove!

I would say the mask sheet has the right "wetness factor".  It's not heavily dripping but you get a good amount of the product that your skin happily accepts within the 15-20 minutes period.  

After removing the sheet, I like to gently pat the product until it evaporates.  My skin does look brighter, plump-looking at the same time, my skin feels so smooth like a baby's bum!

K-Palette Lasting 2Way Eyebrow Liners are Reformulated and...

LOWER PRICE!
How can you top that?

From Php950.00, they each cost Php895.00!  And they added 2 new shades which I really love!

The original shades are L-R Light Brown and Natural Brown, they added Mocha Brown and Grayish Brown!

• Light Brown is perfect for light haired gals like me!  This is my favorite shade to date.
• Natural Brown is perfect for those who has natural brown hair.  Or maybe, you had your hair colored but is still close to your original hair color!
• Mocha Brown is perfect for redheads!  I used to mix Light Brown with a bit of a reddish brown shadow whenever I do brows on my client who has red hair, now I don't have to!  
• Grayish Brown on the other hand is perfect for users who never color their hair!  For hair that has a natural dark-black tint, this is perfect!  As a makeup artist, this shade is heaven sent for mature clients who seem to lack brows and wanted a naturally-drawn brows!

Innovation Meets Skin Care with Aesthetique Solutions

When I first heard about "Microdermabrasion Device" at the palm of my hands, I was really skeptical and even told the person who invited me how scared I am to try such product because of my overly sensitive skin.  The most I did to my skin is once or twice a week Exfoliation using my Mary Kay Skinvigorate Cleansing Brush.

As much as I nearly said "NO" in attending this launch, I was also intrigued to know what this is all about!  I mean, I am a Beauty Blogger who wants to know what's up and about in the market, I might as well go and see what the product can do for me or for my friends and family!

Aesthetique Solutions is a home-grown brand, with the owner Ms. Maiki Oreta, who is a self-confessed Diamond Peel addict, she saw how important it is to have great skin to look and feel good at the same time, she understands how expensive it is to go to Microdermabrasion services in the Metro.  So now, she's finally ready to share how Filipinos can get dermatologist grade exfoliation treatments in the comfort and convenience of our own home.

Tony Moly Petite Cotton BB Cream SPF36 PA++ Review

So I have the Tony Moly Petite Cotton BB Cream SPF35 PA++ in Honey Beige for quite some time and I honestly have been raving about this BB Cream for this specific brand and imagine my surprise when I realized I haven't posted any review yet!

This BB Cream is a "Delight" to use because of the light texture, super simple yet practical packaging and ---- PERFECT Shade Matching considering this is a Korean brand! (Yes guys, I don't look too pale or white here!)

Thankfully, they also have a Dark Beige variant so users who have darker complexion can FINALLY try a Korean Brand BB cream!
