Emay Plus Gadget Review

 

After trying out FOREO UFO 2, I thought I'd never look into other brands ever again.  I mean, how could any brand top that?  

I AM WRONG!

Well, I can't say this brand top it but for the price and effect, I think this is worth to take a look at!

The EMAY PLUS All in One Skin Massager is priced more than half lower than FOREO and it also comes with Cold/Warm Function.  It acts as Gua Sha and it helps in firming your skin , creates V-line and helps in wrinkle reduction as it lifts your skin.

Best of all, the product is shaped like Gua Sha, big and comfortable enough to be used on face and other parts of body as well!  Just by reading my intro, you'll have a sense of raves coming right up! 

Ever since 19 weeks ago, I have incorporated this into my skincare routine.  During summer break (no school for my son), I was able to use this more 3 x a week.  But since school started, I've been using this at least once a week and I am still happy with the results.

UFO 2 by FOREO Review

 

Do you still remember my first UFO By Foreo review writtten a year ago?  I even showed my Before and After photo after a week plus usage!  Some of you may say: “But I don’t see a difference!” Or “You already have good skin!”

I feel and see the difference myself and I honestly may have good skin as they say but the time I got pregnant and was breastfeeding, I DID NOT USE any skincare products at all and I saw the real texture and condition of my skin —- it wasn’t Blog-worthy!  It was so dry, flaky and there were a whole lot of zits growing aroud my lip area!  I did not write or review any skincare products that time or did any makeup looks so there weren’t any record of my bad skin!  It doesn’t help that I have PCOS so my hormones are crazy sometimes so I guess this short story is safe enough to say —- I wasn’t born with great skin!  I just highly invest on my skin with the right products!

Speaking about products, UFO By Foreo released UFO 2 and at the back of my head, I was thinking: “Really?  Is there anything else they needed to add from the first one?”

Left: UFO By Foreo
Right: UFO 2 By Foreo

I guess there were a couple I missed myself!  

What are the difference betwen UFO and UFO 2 by Foreo?

• UFO 2 offers a greater range of temperatures. UFO 2 heats 5x faster than UFO.
• UFO 2 has full spectrum LED light (Red, Blue, Green, White, Purple, Orange, Yellow and Cyan).  To know more about the features of each color, read it on FOREO Website)
• Both UFO and UFO 2 has Cryo-Therapy, Cryo-Therapy can help reduce puffiness, shrink pores, lift and firms skin.  UFO 2 offers greater range of temperature.
• T-Sonic Power of UFO 2 is up to 10,000 sonic pulsations per minute!  Highter than the first gen.
• UFO 2 is hailed to be better option if you have specific skin concern like oiliness, rosacea, etc…. It has more targeted treatment for such skin issues.

Same as UFO, you have a wide variety of FOREO Masks to try with the device.  From the UFO Activated Masks that I have tried in the past, I added new ones like Manuka Honey, H2Overdose, Call it a Night and Shimmer Freak!

• Manuka Honey: the revitalizing. Moisture of Manuka Honey leaves skin softer and younger-looking.
• H2Overdose: Ultra-Hydrating mask sheet.  An intense infusion of moisture to hydrate and replenish thirsty skin.
• Call It a Night: Revitalizing and Nourishing mask sheet.  Deeply nourishes and rejuvenates tired skin, leaving it smooth.
• Shimmer Freak: Illluminating Eye perfector.  For eyes that look completely refreshed, with an added hint of shimmer.

Dr. Beauty Anti-Aging LED Facial Therapy Review

 

Since lockdown I haven’t been going to my favorite The Facial Care Centre and I wanted to do something nice on my super tired skin!  

After trying out UFO by FOREO, I finally opened myself up to other brands that are making waves in the online beauty industry (locally).

For a bit of background, Dr. Beauty aims to provide innovative and easy-to-use beauty tools and devices that bring beauty clinic treatments straight to our homes.  To be honest, these gadgets aren’t expensive if you use it in longer terms and best if the effect is obvious.

I got to try 2 of their bestsellig gadgets.  The first one is the Dr. Beauty Anti-Aging LED Facial Therapy (Php3,999.00 available at BeautyMNL)

This beauty tool is best used to treat various skin issues as it utilizes Radio Frequency, High Energy Pulse and Photon.  What caught my attention in this tool is how it would stimulate Collagen production and even improves blood circulation as per product details.

Here’s a quick overview on how to use the gadget as I find it not as simple to use as touch and go!  I mean you really have to read through this because I originally thought serum is needed to be used prior to using this tool.  

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Light Mask Review

What's this nifty gadget that I'm recently using?

It's called the Neutrogena Fine Fairness Light Mask (Php4,200.00)  and I felt really "cool" whenever I use it!  I felt like I have my own facial center right at home!  But what is this gadget and what can it do for your skin?

I've had this product for a couple of months now but I only got the chance to review this after several usage!  

Now, to really have the complete experience, you need to try this with the Cleanser, Toner, Serum, Gel Cream and Overnight Cream.  I have to admit, I didn't change any of my skincare products because if I plan to, it will probably take you another year to finally see this post!  My skin is a bit sensitive in terms of changing skincare products.  So for the sake of review, and to know if this product (the Light mask) really works, I used this just as is, without the aid of the rest of the Fine Fairness range.  I'm sure you can find reviews on other bloggers who've tried this mask together with the product range.!

If you want to know if this product will work on its' own using your own skincare products, this is the right post for you!

Introducing Neutrogena Fine Fairness Light Mask, a beauty device which uses dual-power light energy that goes deeper beyond the surface of your skin, ensuring that your skin gets long-lasting radiant skin tone. Clinically-proven to regenerate skin from beneath, 96% of consumers saw improved tone within 30 days of usage.Save your time in going to the dermatologist for this cutting-edge skincare technology – You can give your skin a radiant glow in the comfort of your own home today.

LuMee® Duo™ Review

So I've seen my good friend Phoebe got a cool "lighting" on her iPhone case and I was amazed yet I wasn't sold!  Then goes another good Blogger Friend who goes lighting up her iPhone case whenever she takes a selfie or photos.  I was still indifferent.  I love simple, yet functional phone cases, functional meaning, just there to protect my phone from scratches and from fall. 

Then, it was nighttime at Blue Bay when Kyle Nash was having fun running around playing with Bubbles.  I was there, taking shots after shots of all those wonderful and rare moments.  The photos came out....dark!

That's when I realized, okay, what was that phone case again?

It is called LuMee® Duo™ which you can find at Beyond The Box stores nationwide.

LuMee® Duo™

Php3,190.00

And the funny thing I realized?  I don't only use the lighting in the dark, I am actually enjoying lighting this up even on bright areas!

"Designed by professional photographer Allan Shoemake, it mimics the effect of ring lights used in fashion photography. With just a press of a button, the  LuMee® Duo™ case bathes your face in a soft, flattering light with studio-quality lights up front and back, too. Taking a portrait of your friend? You can now take it any time of the day. Snapping a flat lay of your favorite food? The restaurant now becomes your studio. Everything is in the best light. They’re still protective cases at the very core, so your iPhone is afforded superior drop protection behind the luxurious soft matte or smooth glossy finish."

Panasonic Nanocare Facial Ionic Steamer Review

How effective is "Steaming" for the face and body? 

I was told your body and facial pores will open up thus will help your skin "Detox" all the dirt and oil to reveal better-looking skin.

This as based from interviewing Korean students while I was teaching in China, I also asked several Facial Spas both in and out of the country --- they always include "steaming", it must be effective, right?

Well, I recently got my own "Facial Steaming at the comforts of my home" with the newest product from Panasonic Beauty called Nanocare Facial Ionic Steamer.  I have tested this for almost a month now using twice or sometimes thrice a week.  I will be sharing my honest thoughts to let you guys know if this works or not.

Panasonic Nanocare Facial Ionic Steamer Says ---

• Enjoy relaxing, spa-like facial sauna treatments at home with nano steam
• The face steamer generates nano-sized steam particles to penetrate the skin and moisturize
• Quickly and gently removes makeup, dirt and other impurities from the skin
• Use daily to thoroughly cleanse the skin for easier makeup application
• The sleek, stylish design and compact size complements any bathroom, makeup table or dressing area décor

Slendertone Women's Face Toner Review

Last year, I got my own Slendertone Women's Face Toner beauty gadget from the local distributor and I immediately tested it out.  Thankfully, they were not in a rush for review as I did tell them how much time it will take to review such product.

For the first month, I wasn't that consistent in usage so I stopped and rested and waited for the month after to review the product again.  It was the month of October 2015 where I consistently use it (twice a week to thrice a week).  And finally, after almost 5 months, I'm ready to reveal my thoughts on this product!  With photos to prove!

 

The box comes with a rechargeable hand-held control unit and and a portable head set with a pack of self-adhesive.
