My 14 Days Beauty Challenge With EPHYRA

September 30, 2013 29 Comments

Remember I posted up about EPHYRA quite some time ago? I’m not sure if you remembered it, but I’ve shared a blog post about it quite some time ago and have been sharing EPHYRA’s photos on my Facebook page and Instagram quite frequently throughout the month.

I’m sure you know what EPHYRA is by now, but if you haven’t been lurking around in the cyberspace and have no idea what is it, allow me to reintroduce it to you.

EPHYRA is a beauty drink that contains collagen and and all sort of natural goodness that could help supplement your body to not only be more beautiful and ravishing, but healthy and energetic as well. For a detail information about it you can read my post HERE

When I first posted up about EPHYRA on my Facebook and Instagram, I received tonnes of mixed reaction from my friends and followers in the form of comments, private messages and emails. Some are out of curiousity about the product and some was appalled that I would be ‘poisoning’ my body with chemical drinks that claimed to be able to make you more beautiful. To be honest, I was a little bit flabbergasted with such remarks, but then again, it is to be expected cuz some of my friends are health freaks who supports a complete organic diet regime in their lives. To some of them, as long as the food or drinks does not originally grow on plants, they’re all harmful to the body.

But I beg to differ. It is truly unfair to say that taking health/beauty supplement like EPHYRA is harmful for the body as throughout my 14 days using EPHYRA, I gain nothing but benefits from it. EPHYRA changed my life for the better.

Let me tell you a little secret. I never was a vain person til I realizes that my entire body is damaged. I never used to bother on how I look like and whenever I go out, I never even bothered with any make ups. I never even bothered to use sunscreen when I go out. I did not realized it then, but by and by, my entire body began to age prematurely. There are fine lines, and my skin was terribly tanned and uneven. Even then, I did not care until I was contracted with chicken pox. Yup. You’re reading that right. I never had chicken pox before as a child, and I was unfortunate enough to get it as an adult. Inexperienced as I was, I thought the terrible dots and the chickenpox scars that’s spread all over my body will fade away within a week or two after I recovered, but boy, I was dead wrong! My body was never the same again and not only the dotty scars turned terribly black and dark, but my skin was terribly dry too. It was terribly dehydrated, no matter how much fluid I take daily and the skin became so dry and scaly that it fell off. Such thing undermined my confidence greatly and I started to be so ashamed with my skin’s condition to the point I practically lock myelf at home and only goes out when necessary.

Then came along a blogger friend Eyriqazz. He introduced me to EPHYRA and I decided to take up the 14 days challenge with EPHYRA. Yes, yes, men can benefit from this beauty drink too, not just the ladies, yea? I was a bit reluctant at first, but hey, I was already halfway becoming an old hag after the chickenpox. What have I got to lose? So I took up the challenge, and below is my 14 days journal entry.

14 days journal entry with EPHYRA

Day 1: I was a little skeptical about drinking EPHYRA, cuz most collagen and beauty drinks taste nasty. But I tried it regardless and was pleased to discover that EPHYRA is not only easy to prepare; all you need to do is just pour out the sachet contents into the shaker and shake it with cold water, but it taste very, very good too! EPHYRA tasted like a yummilicious glass of orange juice. I was all smile and immediately craved for a second glass on the spot, but rules are rules. One can only take EPHYRA once a day and according to prescribed serving. Completely a pleasant experience.

Day 2: I did not realize if there is any changes, but I noticed that I had no problems running around like the crazy Duracell Bunny all day long in events and whatnot. That’s pretty surprising cuz I get tired pretty easily and my mood can get terribly nasty due to fatigue.

Day 3: My skin isn’t any fairer and the dark chicken pox scar was still there, but I noticed that my skin is not as dry.

Day 4: Bowel movements improves and I pee more often.

Day 5: I was able to sleep better.

Day 6: Started noticing that my face is getting smoother and much more hydrated from within.

Day 7: The real fun begins, could really start to notice the difference in my face. It’s now brighter and my skin feels hydrated from within.

Day 8: Was out whole day again, attending events. Was filled with energy and people mistook my son for being my kid brother twice.

Day 9: Flaky and scaly skin is much lesser and I could seriously see the new skin regeneration effects.

Day 10: Skin is much clearer, smoother and the best part, chicken pox scar started to really fade.

Day 11: Took a good look in the mirror and noticed that my face is much fairer and my cheeks have natural rosy blush though there was no make up on. Skin is devoid of pimples though I was having PMS symptoms. The dark circles around the eyes and eyebags has pretty much faded. Skin tone is much more even too.

Day 12: More and more chicken pox scars faded away and my skin feels hydrated from.within all day through. Another noticeable positive changes that I noticed is that my gum no longer bleed easily. I suppose all that vitamins in EPHYRA contributed in this change too.

Day 13: Again, someone mistook me as my son’s elder sister and I noticed that my lips is surprisingly soft, fuller and pinkish without the usage of lip balm.

Day 14: Chicken pox scar is no longer noticeable. Skin much softer and smoother and my face is much more radiant than before. Took selfies and compared the picture with the one taken before I started to consume EPHYRA and I can happily say that I look much better and healthier now.

So, am I satisfied with the result? Yes, absolutely! I could actually see positive results in just 5 days of usage, and I’m definitely a happy camper, considering that I feel much more beautiful and confident now. I rarely feel as tired as before, and feel completely revitalized. A note here: I did not use any other skincare products throughout my 14 days challenge with EPHYRA, so I can vouch that it is really, really effective!

Not convinced? Well then just take a look at the before and after below.

Can you see the difference? Skin is much fairer and flawless.

And lips is much pinker. These photos are taken completely ‘nude’ with no makeups on and no filter was used whatsoever. Please ignore the damaged- looking hair, though. I had a little bit of a disaster in a stupid hairsalon and not even EPHYRA could save my burnt and frazzled hair. That’s another story altogether and I need to fix it and rescue it by using some hair products or chopped them all off, but apart from the disastrous hair, I believe that the changes that EPHYRA helped me achieve is amazing!

Ugly chicken pox scar has faded, and my skin is not as flaky and as dry as before too and I have no doubts that with continuous usage, I’ll be able to get rid of them unhealthy skin and damaged skin completely. 😀

Some may worry about side effects from consuming these beauty drinks, but I can assure you that this product is definitely safe for consumption. There’s no side effects, and while it is advisable for you to consult your doctor before consuming EPHYRA if you’re pregnant, it is completely safe for breastfeeding mothers as EPHYRA is known for helping breastfeeding mothers produce high quality breast milk and increase of breast milk production. 😀

Here’s some testimonial from EPHYRA users regarding the breast milk production.

Skeptical about that? Don’t worry…I have a friend who is a breastfeeding mother. I won’t be saying much about that cuz I think it is best that you pay a visit to her blog yourself HERE and see her testimonial on how EPHYRA has benefited her and her baby. 😀

Love Your Heart Day Public Talk at UMMC Cardiology Unit

September 27, 2013 4 Comments

It’s been almost a decade since I last step into a lecture hall. The last time I was in a lecture hall was during my final exam in university. I never knew that I’ll be saying this, but I really do miss my college years.

Lucky me, I was given a chance to relive my notorious college years a few days ago. UMMC Cardiology Unit was having a ‘Love Your Heart Day’ Public Talk a couple of days ago and a bunch of us bloggers were invited to check it out.

After the registration, the public and invited media alike were ushered into a huge lecture hall. The talk kicks off with recital of prayers by Dr. Syadi and speech by the Head of Cardiology Unit, Prof Dr. Wan Azman. His speech was then followed by the official launch of the public talk and the announcement for “Love Your Heart’ Survey. The survey sought to shed light on cardiac risk factors and treatment options as well as patients’ understanding on these issues.

According to the ‘Love Your Heart Survey’, a total of 328 respondent, or 80% had not even performed regular health test before they had been diagnosed with Coronory Heart Diseases.

Remember a few days ago I posted the picture for my Wordless Wednesday Entry with a caption “Do You Love ‘ME'”? Well that was 2013’s World Heart Day campaign poster. 😀

The World Heart Day is celebrated on 29th September and will highlight a life-course approach to the prevention and control of Coronory Heart Disease with a focus on women and children and show what actions can be taken through a personâ€™s life to reduce their risk of Coronory Heart Disease.

You can keep a tab on updates and whatnot on the campaign on various social media with the hashtag #worldheartday. The entire campaign emphasized on preventing the future impact of heart disease and stroke by enabling heart-healthy living from childhood throughout adulthood because healthy children lead to healthy adults and healthy adults lead to healthy families and communities.

Us media were then ushered to the media room for press conference and we were given a chance to listen to lectures first hand. Here’s a picture of Prof Dr. Wan Azman, demonstrating the mechanics of the human heart.

According to the good doc, Coronory Heart Disease can affect people of all ages and population groups, including women and children. However, their risk can be controlled, treated or modified through everyday heart-healthy behaviours, such as eating a healthy diet, taking regular exercise and avoiding tobacco use.

Did you know? Heart disease is actually the number one killer of women, causing 1 in 3 female deaths: shockingly, thatâ€™s about one death per minute! It is vital that women learn the truth about their cardiovascular disease risk and take action to protect themselves and their family. Children are vulnerable too: the risk for cardiovascular disease can begin before birth during foetal development, and increase further during childhood with exposure to unhealthy diets, lack of exercise and smoking.

SIGH. It’s all about lifestyle. Modern society can expose children to risk factors such as diets with too few calories, diets high in â€œbadâ€ fats and sugar; activities such as computer games that discourage physical activity; and in some countries, tobacco advertising that encourages tobacco use or environments filled with secondhand tobacco smoke.

There’s plenty of things that were taught during the lecture, but the infographic above practically sums it up. 😀 Do take some time to take a look at it, folks. It will do you good, I reckon.

After the lecture, I took some time to take a look at the exhibition hall and discovered first hand that UMMC was also providing free consultation and health check to the public in conjunction of World Heart Day 2013.

Free consultation from the nutritionist

The public taking advantage of the free health check session.

Getting health check done. After lurking around in the health check booths, I decided that I haven’t had enough and explored further. There are plenty of exhibit items that day. Check out the pictures below. They’re rich with infos.

Exhibit item 1

Exhibit item 2

Exhibit item 3

Exhibit item 4

Exhibit item 6

Exhibit item 7

Exhibit item 8

The one thing in the exhibition hall that caught my attention is the Coronory Heart Bypass surgery and stents that’s used in the procedure.

A stent is a small mesh tube that’s used to treat narrow or weak arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from your heart to other parts of your body.

A stent is placed in an artery as part of a procedure called angioplasty. Angioplasty restores blood flow through narrow or blocked arteries. A stent helps support the inner wall of the artery in the months or years after angioplasty.

Doctors also may place stents in weak arteries to improve blood flow and help prevent the arteries from bursting.

Stents usually are made of metal mesh, but sometimes they’re made of fabric. Fabric stents, also called stent grafts, are used in larger arteries.

A closer look at a stent.I was informed that some stents are coated with medicine that is slowly and continuously released into the artery. These stents are called drug-eluting stents. The medicine helps prevent the artery from becoming blocked again. According to Prof Dr. Wan Azman, these are a cutting edge technology in medical science and many has benefit from the procedures, but of course, prevention is always better than cure.

We bloggers certainly had a field day learning the matters of the heart, that day. 😀 Here’s one for the album.

Need more info on World Heart Day 2013, ‘Love Your Heart’ Survey results, angioplasty& stents usage, public talks and etc? Well, hop over to https://www.ummc.edu.my/ for more info.

Cleffairy: I’m all for healthy living and taking care of my heart, and I’m sure all of you out there share the same sentiment too.

Flash Your Pearly Whites with Pearl Drops

September 20, 2013 No Comments

What does being a mum or dad means to you? Well, being a mum to me means there’s a lot of hard work involved, and a lot of caffeinated drinks to keep you awake when you’re rushing for dateline. Well, at least to me it means that. I’m a blogger, author and a mother. I’m not just your ordinary, regular mother. I’m a mother to a special need child. And taking care of an autistic child 24/7 is pretty demanding because there’s not much people who is willing to give me some time off. I have no idea how many babysitters quit because they can’t handle my child and as a result, I don’t get much ‘ME’ time. It’s very tiring, but ah, cest’ la vie! Life goes on and I have to persevere.

I try very hard to squeeze time for my work, but being someone who works in a creative line, inspiration does not always strike at a godly hour, and more often than not, I will have to supplement all my creative writing needs, READ: writing at ungodly hour of 3am in the morning til 7am with caffeine. These caffeine usually comes in the form of tea or refreshing sport drinks.

They usually work very well to keep me energized and awake, but they’re so bad for my teeth! As time goes by, I can see the effect of constant caffeine intake. They make my teeth turn so yellow. Regardless on how I brush them daily, I can never get back my pearly whites! 🙁 I know we can always go to the dentist and have them clean up, but then again, I don’t even have time for myself, what more time for dentists appointment.

But lucky me,Â Church & Dwight Co., Inc, the leading teeth whitening specialist offers a range of oral care whitening products that leave teeth smooth and clean as well as looking whiter and brighter. And DKSH Malaysia Sdn BhdÂ just happened to launch the new Pearl Drops Professional Intensive White toothpolish yesterday in The Gardens Cafe, Midvalley.

During the event Pearl Drops made also made a donation of RM 8,000 to World Vision to fund its charity project in Indonesia known as â€œSanitation through Community Empowermentâ€ and the money will go towards building sanitation facilities and empowering the community to improve their health and quality of life. World Vision is a humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling poverty and injustice.

I did not managed to get a pic of the donation ceremony, though, cuz I was too busy drooling over the Brazilian dancers who performed a medley of cheeky and sexy Brazilian dance. 😀

Take a look at the vid! Aren’t they hot? 😀 I think they are hot together. But don’t think of flirting with them, though, ladies and gents. These dancers are married to each other. LOL! 😀

Will you just look at that smiles? These Brazilian dancers are also Pearl Drops users, and their smiles is just so amazing! I definitely would want sparkly smile like that too! 😀 (And yes, apart from restroring my flashy whites, I would want to be able to dance a Samba like them too! But I can dream. Hahaha…)

The new Pearl Drops Professional Intensive White toothpolish works through a 4D whitening system – it cleans, whitens, protects and shines. It can be used safely every day, polishing away stains and plaque and restoring the natural whiteness to teeth.

It contains Perlite, the same whitening ingredient used by dentists to help remove and prevent stains caused by coffee, tea, smoking and red wine. Perlite is a naturally occurring siliceous rock that is striking for its white color after expanding under high heat.

Pearl Drops Professional Intensive White toothpolish is sold at the introductory price of RM 39.90 till November at all leading pharmacies in Malaysia.Â Its usual price is RM 49.90, so if you’re like me wand wants to get rid of those tea or coffee stain from your teeth and flash your pearly whites again, be sure to head over to your nearest pharmacy and get one. 😀

Cleffairy: Smile, and the world will smile with you. 😀

How To Look Good When You Feel Like Crap

September 18, 2013 2 Comments

My days are usually bad than good, and physical and emotional stress usually takes a toll on my body; as a result, I often feel like crap. And my emotion usually shows on my face. Clearly. And not having enough ME time caused me to look like crap too, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve to look good in a jiffy during those crazily long and miserable days. 😀 See if these tips helps you to boost your confidence too:

Bad day and no time to style your hair? No worries, just accessorize it with a scarf or a hair band. But if all else fail, just pull it up in a scrunchie. It usually helps to hide your disastrous hair. That will buy you some time before you can make appointment with your stylist to rescue you from your hair disaster.
No time for make up but desperately need to look good? Not in the mood to face yourself in front of the vanity mirror? There’s a trick to get around that. Lip tint usually doubles as blusher. Just apply accordingly and you’ll look refreshed and less haggard in a minute.
Bring along hydrating mist every where you go. They help your skin to stay hydrated, even on the longest day.
Feel awful? Had lover’s spat the night before and your eyes are swollen from crying all night long? No worries, grab a pair of sunglasses. They not only will hide your swollen eyes, but pretty cool stuff too as it makes you look like a fashionista.
Haven’t been shopping cuz you’ve been too caught up with life and work? Limited wardrobe collection? Just accessorize. Earrings, bangles, fancy necklaces. Accessories usually helps to spice up looks without having to spend a fortune on looking good. So ladies, don’t be afraid to mix-and match.
Last but not least, smile. Flash those pearly whites. It’s difficult to smile when you’re feeling miserable at first, but trust me, it gets easier with practice.

These are not much of a tips, but I hope it will be helpful for you as it has for me.

Cleffairy: Getting more and more vain with each passing seconds, so even when I feel miserable inside, I still will want to put on a mask, and hope that one day, the mask will be something real.

How to Trim Your Body in 60 Minutes

September 13, 2013 6 Comments

If you are my Facebook friend or Twitter and Instagram follower, I’m sure you remember that I’ve posted aboutÂ Liposonix about a week back. For those who have no idea what Liposonix is, well, Liposonix is revolutionary non-invasive, non-surgical spot reduction treatment.1

Having heard so much about the treatment from my fellow beauty bloggers, I decided to play paparazzi a little bit with some of my blogger friends and find out what it is really all about.

And so we went to the Beverly Wilshire Medical Centre last week. It’s located in Jalan Tun Razak, and us bloggers were welcomed by a team of staff and were briefed by Dr. Karen Po on various cosmetic procedures, and that includes Liposonix and Thermage treatment.

So, what is Liposonix? Well, according to Dr. Karen Po, Liposonix is safe, non-surgical and non-invasive treatment with Custom Contouringâ„¢ capabilities which target and eliminate fat. The revolutionary treatment uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to treat & eliminate stubborn fat. It is a treatment best for people close to their ideal size & shape â€“ used when diet & exercise no longer work. In other words, it’s a long-term solution for a lean, trim body.

After the short briefing, we were brought into the treatment room.

And we were shown the Liposonix machine.

Liposonix monitor screen

The device that will be used for treatment.

Don’t mistake liposonix for liposuction, yeah. This treatment a solution for those who wants a major weight loss. Liposonix treatment helps â€œget that last inchâ€, an alternative for patients who need significant fat reduction but do not want invasive surgeries that’s usually associated with high-costs, surgical risks and side effects. Liposonix works best for those targeting love handles and fat around the waist. Patients need to be able to â€œpinch-an-inchâ€ of fat in the treatment area. Patients need to be in overall good health with a BMI equivalent or less than 30.

During our visit, Dr. Karen Po demonstrated how the treatment was done. First, the treatment head of the Liposonix system is placed on the targeted area.Then, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy focuses on the targeted fat and destroys the fat cells under the layers of the skin. A continuous lesion is created on the targeted fat and no harm is done to the skin layers.

Some of my Facebook friends asked me where did the fat go since the fat was not sucked away via tube? Well, here’s an answer to that question; the fat tissues will be removed through the bodyâ€™s natural healing and elimination process. There is no need for multiple treatments to see results. On average, a single hour-long treatment results in a waistline reduction of 1 inch (2.5 cm) â€“ about one dress or pant size.

The final effect may vary with each patient. However, results are typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks, which is the time needed for the body to naturally process the treated fat.

Apart from the Liposonix treatment, we were also introduced to a face contouring treatment known as Thermage. Thermage uses radiofrequency technology to non-invasively help smooth, and contour the skin, as well as temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite, in a single treatment with little to no downtime. The Thermage Total Tip is effective for facial treatments because it delivers uniform, volumetric bulk heating. This heat is dispersed through the vascular structures, which are more abundant on the face than other body areas. This dispersal and uniformity of energy may lead to increased patient tolerability and allows practitioners to deliver an efficient volume of heat on the face, with highly positive outcomes.

‘Revamping Me’ Project

September 10, 2013 13 Comments

So okay, I’ve just celebrated my birthday last week and I’m older by one year now. Since I’m in my last year before I hit the big 3, I thought that it would be good to make some changes where my look is concerned. I had a bit of a makeover a few days ago, but I’m sad to report that my hair makeover has all but gone awry though I must say that I like my new look with contact lenses.

My hair is an absolute disaster and I yet to rectify the issue. *SIGH* I feel miserable to the point that I feel like it’s best for me if I were to just stay at home until I managed to get someone to fix my horribly damaged hair, but that will not do me any good. After all, as a blogger, I still have to attend events and socialize. I’ll have to just make the hair into scrunchies for the time being and emphasize on my dressing instead.

This calls for some retail therapy, don’t you think? There’s a huge event coming up and I need to look good and classy. The little black dress that I have in my wardrobe is kinda old and out of fashion and I need a new one. I’m not really sure where I can get some nice and reasonably priced little black dresses, but DressFirst came highly recommended by a friend and I have to agree with her, Dress First is offering not only chic looking little black dresses, but beautiful dresses for all occasion at a very competitive price.

Take a look at these dresses from DressFirst.com:

Should I get myself this one?

This one?

Or this one?

Gosh, I can’t decide, they’re all lovely to me. Tell me which one would suit me best and would be versatile for all occasion. I would really appreciate your opinion. 😀

Cleffairy: When in doubt, buy all? LOL!

Look Flawlessly Beautiful with EPHYRA in Just 14 Days

September 9, 2013 18 Comments

Have you heard about EPHYRA? I’ve heard about it in quite a lot of places and from quite a lot of people these days.

So what is EPHYRA?

Ephyra is a collagen-based antioxidant drink, the most delicious, in the form of sachets made from natural ingredients (L-Glutathione, Astaxanthin, Acai Berry, AcerollaCeri, Marigold Flower Extract, Gum Acacia, Superberi & Tomato powder) that treat, renew and further enhances inner and outer health.

Have I got you curious yet? Well, stay with me, dear readers and let’s see what EPHYRA can do. :D.

There are loads of collagen products out there, but EPHYRA has gained a place in the hearts of thousands of loyal users. So why EPHYRA is different from the others in the market? Well, for one, EPHYRA uses marine collagen from “white fish” which live in the deep sea. Reason being: deep-sea fish are free of contamination. EPHYRA uses hydrolyzed collagen. Hydrolyzed collagen consists of the smallest fraction of amino acids, which are easily absorbed by the body.

EPHYRA contains absorbable collagen. This is very important. Do you know why loads of people people takes collagen, but couldn’t really see the result? High collagen molecule density is the reason. The body can’t absorb it easily. A brand’s collagen is measured in DALTON (Da). It’s not about how many mg of collagen there is in the content, but how small the protein is. The more rapidly absorbed, the sooner see the effects of body. Important fact: The density of EPHYRA collagen = less than 1500Dalton. EPHYRA collagen size = less than 1500 Dalton and therefore very easily absorbed by the body . That’s why those who are drinking EPHYRA can see the effects as early as 7 days unlike most collagen in the market where one needs 3-4 boxes of collagen to see the effect.

EPHYRA collagen content is sufficient for the body .The human body does not require a large amount of collagen, but only needs small amount of it. (Do note that exessive amount of collagen can be damaging to the kidney in the long run. :()

EPHYRA is a skin supplement , (a beauty drink ), but not the only the skin that will be able to benefit from it . There are other benefits besides bright and elastic skin . Among them are:

âœ” Energy booster

âœ” Less hair loss. ~ Strengthen hair roots , and encourages new hair growth.

âœ” Weight control.

âœ” Shiny and healthy nails.

âœ” Cracked heel decreases. ~ No more dry and cracked heels.

âœ” Dark circles under the eyes is reduced and more even skin tone.

âœ” Reduce inflammation & joint pain as well as knee pain.

EPHYRA is proven to be effective as early as 7-14 days.

You can see the testimonial pictures below:

Can you see the vast difference?

Looks impressive, isn’t it? Why, even a famous Malay artist is using EPHYRA too. 😀

Isn’t she lovely? I think she looks divine here. 😀

And then there’s Youtube sharing EPHYRA users :

There is more testimonial video by genuine EPHYRA users HERE

Some collagen drink taste really nasty, but EPHYRA tasted delicious admittedly by thousands of EPHYRA users.

Testimonial video EPHYRA :

EPHYRA is certified HALAL by JAKIM & safe for consumption by MOH. You can see the certificate below .

There are many collagen products out there that claims to be safe & clean , but surprisingly when we checked them out with MOH & JAKIM, it is not. It is important to choose a product that will not be harmful to your body.

As a mother of one and nearing my 30s, I realized how important it is to take care of my appearance as stress and hectic lifestyle has taken toll on my body. And much to my annoyance, there’s signs of premature ageing on my face. And guess what? I decided to give this collagen drink and try.

I’ve picked up a box of this to try out. 😀

I was a little apprehensive to drink it at first, but when I mixed it up in the shaker provided, I could immediately smell the citrusy smell, and when I took a sip, the taste was surprisingly good for a collagen drink! It’s awesome, EPHYRA tasted just like your regular orange juice and by the time I finished the last drop, I immediately wished that there was more. I have a very positive feeling about this. 😀 It not only smell good, but taste good as well. WOW! I really did not expect that, cuz usually collagen drinks taste rather…ummm…unappetizing!

Skeptical if it is good as claimed? Since I will be trying it out myself, do so stay tune for my 14 days testimonial updates and audio commentary diary in the next postings. 😀

Perfect Anytime Anywhere Makeup with ETUDE Precious Mineral Any Cushion

August 18, 2013 2 Comments

How many mummies or married women out there actually make an effort to put on make-up whenever they go out? Being a busy woman with little time to spare, I don’t usually bother with make up. It’s too time consuming and bothersome to face the vanity mirror and paint my face. But as time goes by, I realize that without basic make up, I kinda look lethargic. All the fatigue showed on my face, especially during long day at work, shuffling here and there.

Sure, I consumed collagen supplement religiously these days and I felt much better than before, but there are bad days where I just feel tired inside out. And looking sickly pale, not photogenic is not exactly the image that I want to portray to the public. I would want to look fresh, energetic and vibrant all the time, especially during events and meeting with my clients.

Not having enough time is always my excuse for my lack of make up and walking around nude faced everywhere. But with Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion, easy, fast, perfect ,anytime and anywhere makeup is possible. Just pat it on, and you’ll have a perfect make up foundation on your face. It’s designed to make a busy woman gorgeous with just pats and dabs on the face. Why, even a make up idiots like me could benefit from it.

My cute travel make-up pouch from Etude House, housing my basic make-up things. This is where I keep my sunscreen, lipsticks, foundation and whatnot. 😀

New Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion.

Mine is Natural Beige W13

This may look like your regular loose compact powder, but I can assure you, it’s not, and it practically works magic on your face.

Dabbing thisÂ all in one formula on the face allow you to achieve bright and luminous skin. It contains pearl mineral powder and niacin amide that functioned as whitening effect. It’s definitely outstanding. The formula also prevents darkening and sticky skin, allowing the wearer to feel fresh throughout the day.

ETUDE Precious Mineral Any Cushion is a 6 IN 1 multi-function product. It works as sunblock+ sebum powder + moisture essence + whitening essence + foundation + cooling functions. One just need 10 secs to finish make up with this product. Highly recommended for those who are always busy and running around to fulfill her schedule. 😀

All you need to do is use theÂ exclusive air puff with evenly spread liquid foundation in holding cushion to fix makeup in a jiffy. It’s really easy to apply, I assure you. The unique puff minimizes absorption of the precious mineral in the puff enabling perfect application on the face. This product gives you great coverage on the face. It’s does not smear and gives you matte finishing. The moisture lock helps to keep your skin hydrated, so those with dry skin type need not worry. :DÂ This product also provides UV Protection with it’s SPF50+/PA+++.

The puff after-care is as shown above.

Healthier and A More Fulfilling Lifestyle with Aura Hot

August 3, 2013 11 Comments

Remember my post not long ago where I complained that my friend told me that I practically look like something that came out from a Zombie Apocalypse film and I sadly have to agree with her because I feels the same way inside as I am perpetually tired? Well, like I said in that post, and I intend to do something to improve my stamina a lil bit by not only leading a healthier life by exercising and taking a healthier diet, but also by taking supplements.

Well, I did what I said I wanted to do. It’s been more than aÂ two weeks now since I’ve been taking this supplement. Aura Hot, a health supplement with collagen designed especially for women.

There’s a total of 20 sachets in the box.

The supplement is certified Halal, so if you’re a Muslim, you don’t have to worry about the Halal issue. 😀

The collagen drink supplement is pretty easy toprepare. Straight forward and kinda idiot-proof. All you need to do is just mix the Aura Hot powder with some warm water. Stir well and drink twice daily. Once before you sleep and once after you wake up for the first month and once daily for the next months.

I prefer mine chilled, so I added in some ice for more kicks. 😛 Would probably make an ice-blended out of it if I had a blender too. :PÂ Unlike other collagen drinks that taste pretty much like a chemical experiment that has gone haywire, Aura Hot actually tasted nice. The strawberry-chocolate flavour is really tantalizing to the senses, and I could easily drink one glass after another.

After two weeks of usage, I can say that I feel that the collagen drink works wonder on my body and my skin. My skin is much more smoother, probably due to the fact that it’s packed with vitamins that helps you to get the radiant glow. Below is my report for the 14 days of usage:

Day 1- Not much changes can be felt.

Day 2- I started to feel the detoxification effect. I noticed that I passed motion more and no more constipation. I feel slightly lightheaded, but perhaps it was because of the detox process.

Day 3- Lightheaded-ness lingers, but I noticed that i suddenly have weird cravings for more veggies and fruits. And so I did. My appetite improves, but towards hydrating and healthier food items.

Day 4- The headache and faint feeling went away, and I started to feel more energetic.

Day 5-Â Noticed that my hair drops less when I combed my hair.

Day6 – Some tiny scar as a result of hot oil splashing on my skin started to fade. 😀

Day 7- Skin wasn’t any fairer, but it was definitely smoother, and I did not even have pimples during my period. I noticed that this time around, my period is not that painful and my tummy was not bloated as it usually was.

Day 8- It was a very long day for me. Had events back to back, but I managed without a huff.

Day 9- I was out in an event with nude face. No make-up, no BB cream whatsoever. I have completely forgotten to put em on cuz it was a really busy day and I was really rushing. A friend commented that I look more energetic with a healthier look on my face.

Day 10- Had an event to go to at night and needs to dress up and put on some make up a lil bit, but I noticed that my skin colour is a shade lighter and my foundation is no longer in the correct shade. So yay for me. The Aura Hot started to have effect on my skin!

Day 11- Did not have time to eat as I was rushing dateline for a project. Only had some Aura Hot drinks earlier in the morning along with some cream crackers, and I managed to last the whole day until about 8 am. I only managed to get some stuff to eat in a food review, and I was really surprised that I could last that long!

Day 12- Concentration and focus improves. Managed to pay attention at one of the most boring meeting I’ve ever attended, and I sleep better now too.

Day 13-Â I was inspired enough to start a new novel and had enough energy to burn the midnight oil to work on a couple of chapters before I call it a day.

Day 14- Out whole day again. Movie premier in the morning, sent kid to school in the afternoon after the premier, and after picking him up, I headed to a food review session and then head over to another event at night.

A pic of me camwhoring in front of the mirror, checking out the difference after two weeks. 😛 Yea, I’m vain. Nothing you can do there.

To be honest, I can say that the Aura Hot Stem Cell Collagen drink helps to boost up my stamina as much as it helps with my complexion, so I guess it is worth the investment if you ladies wants some long term health benefits 😀 I can’t comment much on the claim that Aura Hot can help to increase your libido, though. My husband MIA at work most of the time. *roll eyes* So did not manage to test out the theory.
