I must admit, when I was a decade younger, I also had the desire to get a lighter/whiter skin. It was the peer pressure going and that colonial mentality during that time, where we tanned/morena skin were discriminated and treated unequally because of our skin color. Had these skin whitening products came earlier, I would have embraced them all. Or had I the money, I would have gone through all those scary bleaching process. Thank God all I mentioned were still nonexistent. I love my color and I have no desire to be whiter as Snow White. Plus the fact that I love to travel and soak in the sun while in the beach. My concern these days is actually with wrinkles, fine lines and age spots. That is why I am giving this Thiocell Glutatione.

However, doing such will expose us to the damaging rays of the sun. Nisce Skin ‘n Face ambassadors Luke Landrigan and Luke Jickain joined us for an intimate lunch last April 30, 2013 and gave us a couple of pointers on how to keep a summer ready body.

Nivea Sun Daily Face Fluid Collagen Protect SPF30+ Review

I have to admit, since March started I kinda got very lazy in posting beauty/ makeup/ skin care reviews because this is the time of the year when I rather have bare face than have so much makeup and skin care on because the heat just makes the skin feels sticky , oily and dry at the same time. I also have been out-of-town for almost all weekend of March so I did not have that luxury of time to sit and play with the products in my for review box. All I have with me right now is my beauty summer essentials to keep my skin looking fresh, protected and hydrated each time I am out in the sun!

One of the skin care products packed in my summer essentials is the Nivea Sun Daily Face Fluid Collage Protect with SPF30+ PA++ . It is one of the face skin care product I used to protect me from the harmful UVB and UVA rays, and not because I don’t want to get dark!

Product Info:
The Nivea Sun Daily Face Fluid is the perfect choice to your daily protection routine. The light formula is quick-absorbing and non-greasy, making it perfect for daily use, even under make-up! The highly effective UVA/UVB filter system protects skin against sun damage, premature ageing and wrinkles.

Swatches:

What I think of it?
I love that its non-sticky and it doesn’t make my face feel greasy or look oily.
I love that it gets easily absorbed by the skin
I love that it has translucent finish and doesn’t leave a white cast on
I love that I can use it under my BB cream and that I can also layer it up some more!

Do I recommend the Nivea Sun Daily Face Fluid Collagen Protect with SPF30+ PA++?
Absolutely. I used this moisturizing daily face fluid/ sun block during my 3 days/3 nights stay at Lingayen Beach during my Holy Week vacation and I am very much satisfied. I did not have any sun burn, my face did not get super dark compared to another sun block I’ve tried, it didn’t make me look oily or greasy. I also have the daughter use it and she’s not as dark as she usually do when out in the sun, sea and sand.

Here’s a pic of me super exposed in the sun during that trip. You can’t tell the difference!

How about you, have you tried this facial sun screen yet?

Those who follow my instagram and twitter account already have a sneak preview of my summer 2013 travel essentials. But for those who don’t or want a detailed info about everything I just shared on my social network sites here are the things I pack with me when I go to the beach for a couple of days minimum of 2 nights!

Summer Makeup Essentials
Yes, I still wear makeup on the beach, but as minimal as possible. This year I discovered a couple new products that is so perfect for outdoors.

My #summer2013 #makeup essentials #summerlook

What they are from L-R:

Super red lipstick that is long lasting, semi-matte yet moisturizing even under the sun. My current favorite is the Maybelline New York Colorsensational Lipstick in Red Revival (645)
Revlon Age Defying with DNA Advantage Concealer to hide my nasty mark on my left cheeks.
Ponds BB Cream Whitening Expert. This one stays put and make me look fresh all day even if dead tired and super exposed to the sun. I love the fact that it doesn’t make me look greasy or shinny!
K-Palette Lasting 2Way Eyebrow Pen ad the Real Lasting Eyebrow 24H. It’s liquid type and helps you draw softly colored and long-lasting line.
Laura Mercier Graphic Liquid Liner

Summer Skincare and Hair Care Essentials
Too much sun exposure is bad. It’s not just sunburn but it may cause skin cancer and/or make your skin age faster. Better protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun by packing a good amount of sunscreens and sunblock. Keep the skin and hair moisturized as well by packing day and night creams lotions and hair serums!

Pond’s BB+ Creams Review

Most of you know I don’t like using BB creams much. Most of the brands who came out with BB creams have them in very light or fair shade that doesn’t match my skin tone. Because of that I try to avoid BB creams as much as possible. I am morena/ naturally tanned using BB creams makes me look like I’m trying to pull-off the geisha look. When Ponds BB Creams came out with their own version I was a bit hesitant, but when I talked with Rissa Mananquil-Trillo who is morena like me, I got convinced to try it out because she said it was the closest to her skin tone she have ever tried.

Product Info
Pond’s BB+ Cream is a hybrid product combining the benefits of skin care and cosmetics. Specifically, it conceals spots, acne scars, and wrinkles instantly, like a sheer veil of foundation that fees so light on the skin. It can be used solo to provide natural-looking coverage or together with makeup, as a base or primer. It also protests skin from harsh UV rays with SPF30 PA++, gives enhanced radiance with light-reflecting Super Optics, and nourishes skin from within. Ponds BB+ Creams comes in two variants: Pond’s Flawless White Whitening Expert BB+ Cream SPF 30PA++ ad the Pond’s Age Miracle Anti-Aging Expert BB+ Cream SPF 30 PA++.

I saw my face, now I’m a believer! Who needs surgery when you got this product in your hands! – Earthlingorgeous

I’m sure most of you who signed-up using the link I provided at my teaser post about the Avon Anew Clinical Pro Line Corrector A-F33 Amino-Fill 33 (Anew A-F33) last month have gotten their free 28-day sample by now. I’m sure you have tried it out as well as soon as you got it, like I have. It has been more than 28 days for me since I used the A-F33 and here is my verdict!

Product Info

Anew A-F33 uses or Amino Fill 33, an exclusive breakthrough product by Avon considered as the new gold standard in anti-aging. Unlike other leading anti-aging ingredients, it is designed to intercept collagen blocking and help released untapped collagen. This can spark collagen production in just 72 hours, resulting to faded look of deep wrinkles in a matter of one week – and all without having to go through surgery! Clinical study showed 100% improvement in fine wrinkles after 2 weeks, and 33% improvement in deep wrinkles after 11 weeks!

Avon Anew Clinical A-F33 Pro Line Corrector

What I think of it?

I love that it gets easily absorbed by the skin.
It’s not greasy and sticky.
I love the fresh scent.
My skin got tighter, even my derma can attest to how tight my skin has become and how my pores got smaller!
IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC! I don’t need to go through surgery to stretch my face and get rid of my wrinkles! Take a close look at my photos . I took the before photo 28 days ago , I got less lines under my eye area. Look closely to the pic. Before it was about 5 fine lines and after using it for 28 days, I only have 4 lines and the other deep lines got shallower! Amazing!

Do I recommend this product?

Absolutely. It’s a no brainer especially for those who have problematic wrinkly face. If you want your face to become smoother and have your deep wrinkles get shallower then use this product. I was not thinking much about the effect at first but when I saw the photo comparison it was a miracle indeed! I can’t wait to use it for 11 weeks and maybe get wrinkle free by then? Let’s see!

How about you, have you tried Avon’s Anew Clinicl Pro Line Corrector A-F33 yet? How was it for you?

Stay gorgeous everyone!

Celeteque DermoScience Sun Care Line Review

Last week I got a good news that the pledge I made for that healthy living campaign won the daily raffle . I won an iPhone/ iPod dock with Clock from Philips. My pledge was to use sunblock as often as I could to protect my skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Well, at my age I should be very extra careful with my skin against sun exposure. I’m not young as I used to and the evidence of prolonged exposure can mean wrinkles and age spots which is something I don’t want to see, yet!

As you know the sun gives out three types of rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVC rays from sun can’t get through the ozone layer but UVA and UVB can. UVA can cause wrinkles, and UVB Can cause sunburn and skin cancer. It was timely that I just found my stash of Celeteque DermoScience Sun Care products last week, the start of Lent and the start of summer.

Product Info

Celeteque Dermoscience makes use of derma-grade ingredients necessary to promote overall skin health. The Sun Care product line is infused with 2 times sun scree protection against UVA and UVB. The Sun Care Line includes four products: Soothing Lip Balm, Matte Moisturizer, Facial Moisturizer and Skin Relief After-Sun Gel.

I will talk about the three products for now: Celeteque DermoScience Sun Care Matte Moisturizer, Facial Moisturizer and Soothing Lip Balm
