ShiLovesIt: Belo Nutraceuticals Collagen Powder Drink with Hyaluronic Acid

ShiLovesIt: Belo Nutraceuticals Collagen Powder Drink with Hyaluronic Acid

At 27, I notice some unwanted changes in my skin that may have been brought about by aging. That’s why sometimes I feel old at my age now that fine lines and large pores become visible.

Topical skincare products that promise anti-aging effects work over time.  So when I heard about BELO NUTRACEUTICALS COLLAGEN POWDER DRINK, I thought that maybe something that works from within may give faster results.

 Let's talk about BELO NUTRACEUTICALS COLLAGEN POWDER DRINK:

1.     WHAT IS COLLAGEN?

-        It is the most common protein in humans, making up 25% to 35% of the total protein content of your body. Collagen gives the skin its strength, waterproofing, and elasticity. Loss of collagen is one of the causes of wrinkles.

2.     WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID and HOW DOES IT WORK?

-    Hyaluronic acid is used to the skin for healing wounds, burns, skin ulcers and as a moisturizer as well. It is also said to contain anti-aging properties and has been promoted as a "fountain of youth."

Hyaluronic acid works by acting as a cushion and lubricant in the joints and other tissues. In addition, it might affect the way the body responds to injury.

3.  HOW TO USE BELO COLLAGEN POWDER DRINK and WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?

-        It may be added to hot or cold drinks or soup.  I just noticed that the powder doesn't dissolve well in cold drinks.

It tastes like vanilla so I usually add it to my hot chocolate or iced tea.  Instead of soup, I add it in my oatmeal so I won’t need to add sugar and milk anymore. Never tried it in salty-flavored soup because it might not compliment with the sweet taste of this product.

4. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TAKE BELO NUTRACEUTICALS COLLAGEN POWDER DRINK? IS THERE A SPECIFIC DOSAGE PER DAY?

-        It can be taken anytime of the day. Just mix 1 sachet of Belo Nutraceuticals Collagen Powder Drink to any food or drink.

5. WITH BELO NUTRACEUTICALS COLLAGEN POWDER DRINK, MAY I DO AWAY WITH MY USUAL SKINCARE REGIME?

-        This product was created by Belo to complement the topical products of Belo Essentials that whiten from within the surface of the skin. So it is best used with Belo Essentials topical products because the skin does not 100% absorb what was applied on its surface.

I tried it with skincare products other than Belo, though.

6. WHERE TO PURCHASE BELO NUTRACEUTICALS COLLAGEN POWDER DRINK?

-        The product is available in Belo Medical Group clinics and may be bought over-the-counter at Mercury Drug, Watsons, and other leading drugstores nationwide.

7.     HOW MUCH DOES EACH SACHET/BOX COSTS?

-        Each sachet costs P113.75, that is P1,592.50 for a box of 14 sachets.

BEAUTY VERDICT:

To see results of a product, you must use it consistently. So I think purchasing per sachet is not advisable. However the price per box at P1,592.50 is expensive. But coming from a reliable beauty brand, Belo Nutraceuticals Collagen Powder Drink is worth it.

I have consumed one box of Belo Nutraceuticals Collagen Powder Drink in two weeks. No effects on my fine lines and large pores were noticed during that time. But I think the hyaluronic acid has remarkable effects. My break outs heal faster than they used to and there’s a glow on my face that people noticed as youthful.

Eyelash Extensions at iLash Extensions Salon

Whenever I go to the Cosmetics section of Landmark, Trinoma, I always notice iLash Extensions Salon and think of availing their service some time.

Hesitant to try it, I asked my boyfriend if he thinks it's okay for me to have eyelash extensions. When he gave me the go signal, I immediately set an appointment with iLash Extensions Salon.

iLash Extensions Salon offers different eyelash extensions services depending on their clients request -- there's fine, natural, mascara and thick. I chose Mascara - small worth P1000 with 10% discount (promo) so I paid only P900.

The procedure lasts for 1 1/2- 2 hours. Once the procedure starts, you cannot open your eyes for the whole duration. I fell asleep twice with my mouth open hehe Joy, who attended me, is very good in what she does. I didn't feel any pain or cry a tear. There's a lady beside me who shed tears after the procedure, but which is normal naman daw.

Ang sad part nga lang, I had to give up my favorite Nichido Pen Liner because getting the lashes wet is a big NO-NO if you want the eyelash extensions to last long.

Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with the service of iLash Extension Salon and will definitely come back soon.

AJ Rafael in Manila

Who would have thought that I'm going to attend a "Meet and Greet" with an international YouTube celebrity as a die-hard fan? hehe

Filipino-American, singer-songwriter and YouTube sensation AJ Rafael went to Manila for a one-night only concert at Teatrino, Greenhills on July 1, 2014 8 pm. 

Tickets were sold out a few hours after AJ posted the announcement in Twitter and forgot to do the same on facebook. He consequently apologized to his followers on facebook. To make up for his fans, AJ set a Meet and Greet on June  30, 2014 at Eastwood Citywalk.

"You're the best." I almost forgot that I have a boyfriend when he said that to me (in front of Eyson ) ‪#‎swooned‬. Why he said that? Well, I was the only one who cared to make paypay (make paypay? Hehe) for him using the Avida fan from Yangney (Elaine Love) Thanks Yangney!and it's freaking hot at Eastwood Central Plaza, mind you. Like suuupppeeeer hot! 

The Avida fan I used to "paypay" for AJ

But that's nothing compared to the warm welcome and love from the fans! Me included oh by the way, I was the first one who recognized AJ, approached him, hugged him and kissed him

I feel very lucky and overwhelmed to be part of this meet and greet with AJ. The fans are amazing! We get to jam with AJ and Andrew as they play and sing all the songs requested by fans: We Could Happen, Without You, She was Mine, I just want you, Show-stopper, When we Say (my favorite) and Emma Watson. The fans, most were girls, sang along with AJ and Andrew. Sobrang saya!!!

I was not be able to go to AJ's concert but I think what happened that night was way better than attending the concert itself. Hehe Kasi sa concert, I might not get near AJ as I was tonight. So, I don't feel bad na lucky pa nga eh! I love you AJ!!!  ‪

And thanks for the support, hon  ‪

#BeautyFind : Celeteque Facial Moisturizer

Before I got addicted to this product, I was wondering why beauty experts always advise us to "always moisturize". I tried different products but my oily skin didn't seem to like it. Then one day, I noticed my boyfriend Jason, who was then in Korea, having smooth and glowing skin. Take note, it was winter in Korea that time. He told me that he's using Celeteque Facial Moisturizer. I should say that this product works for him, so it might as well work for me. 

I bought Celeteque Dermoscience+ Hydration Facial Moisturizer right away. The product is colorless and the smell so gentle. I applied the product after washing my face and it felt very smooth. After several days of using this product, I noticed that my skin becomes smoother though it doesn't appear to be so, because of pimple marks. With continuous use, my pimple marks got lighter and my skin looks better. I seldom experience break outs since then as well. From then on, Celeteque Facial Moisturizer has been the number one in my shopping list! 

#MakeUpTransformation

That hashtag had been overused for quite sometime in social media. Hesitant at first to get carried away by the trend 'cause of my fear to be called #GGSS.

Well, since everybody's doing it, why not make my own version? It took me sometime to do so, honestly. 

Hyuna Kim of an all-girls K-Pop group 4minute

Hmmmm I got a substantial number of "likes" on facebook and instagram as well as teasing from some friends who I wish I could delete from my friends list! hehe

I chose to do a Makeup Transformation of Hyuna because aside from the fact that I like her a lot, her asian-look is easier to copy.

However, after posting that photo, I learned that the Makeup Transformation trend is supposed to be something to laugh about, it has to be funny like this:

Hahaha! Anyway, I did it just for fun and also to promote my makeup skills. That was the first and the last time that I'm gonna do it, though.
