True Results Challenge: Erase Fine Lines with Celeteque's Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer

When we reach the big 3-0, fine lines start to form on our face. That's aging at its finest (pun intended). Anti-aging beauty products come and go, but nothing seems to deliver true results. When the people behind Celeteque initiated the True Results Challenge recently, erasing fine lines on every Pinay's face was what's exactly on their mind. Is it really possible for a facial moisturizer to lessen fine lines on a woman's face and make her appear 10 years younger than her real age?


The launch of Celeteque's Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer last Saturday afternoon at Mag:Net Cafe in Boni High Street, Taguig was an affirmation of this claim. Five adult women with different social profiles but having the same skin problem (read: fine lines) were chosen to try Celeteque's Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer for six weeks. The results of this challenge (a.k.a as the True Results Challenge) was documented and shared to us by the five women themselves that afternoon.

Observing the five women chosen to take Celeteque's True Results Challenge from my seat (they were seated two tables away!), my jaw dropped in awe at how young they looked. Their testimonials sounded sincere, too. If Celeteque's Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer was the one responsible for the youthful glow and radiance I've seen on their faces, then it must be really effective.




To make things more exciting for everyone, Celeteque asked us to take the challenge ourselves. First, we were tested by a dermatologist to determine the number of fine lines on our left and right eyes. Second, we were each given a bottle of Celeteque's Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer to be used in six weeks. We shall meet again after that to check whatever results will happen on our faces within the six-week period.

Oh and, have you watched the TVC for this particular product?


Many thanks to Celeteque and Team Yehey for inviting me to this event. I can't wait to see the results of my six-week use of Celeteque's Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer.

Make Up 101, An Afternoon with Artistry Make-up Master Victor Ortega

Looking good is every girl's daily obsession. We start by putting make-up on our face to enhance (not alter!) its beauty. I'm not a big fan of make-up and other beauty products just because I'm lazy. Actually, I only apply make-up on my face if I have special events or parties to attend. Other than that, I'm just a powder and lip shine girl.



But it doesn't mean I'd let an opportunity to attend a make-up session pass. Just like last Saturday when I became one of the participants to make-up guru Victor Ortega's Make-Up 101 held at Amway Experience Center on Rada St., Makati. It was organized by Artistry and Geiser Maclang and was attended mostly by fashion and beauty bloggers. Victor Ortega, with his fab make-up arsenal and years of experience as a professional make-up artist, showed us how to look perfect day in and day out, one stroke at a time.

Victor Ortega, a.k.a. Artistry make-up master, was very nice and accommodating, not to mention funny. He taught us the basics in make-up application. He showed us the proper way to apply foundation and how it could be used to contour the face. Yes, you can make your face look slimmer with some dabs of foundation that's a shade darker than your base. He went on by sharing with us everything we needed to know to look perfect, from putting on concealer (to hide skin impurities!) and applying mascara to the eyelashes to putting on lipstick and finishing the look with a blush on. He used Artistry skincare and cosmetic products during the make-up session and proved to us that they were ideal to use on Asian skin. Now, that got me thinking.






Are Artistry skincare and cosmetic products worth the quite hefty price tag? Based on the results of the make-up we did to ourselves using the big make-up kit provided by Artistry itself, I daresay yes. For one, they have great make-up removers and fab eye shadows. I also fell in love with the Artistry mascara. It made my eyelashes appear light and natural, not heavy and enhanced like what other mascaras do to my curls. Good thing we got to take home one Artistry mascara along with a piece of Artistry lip shine, both tucked inside a beautiful silver purse. :)


The entire make-up session lasted for more than two hours but it was worth it. I learned a lot from Victor Ortega. His make-up tips were straightforward and effective. I'll share some of them in my upcoming posts so watch out for that.




Artistry, by the way, is exclusively distributed by Amway Philippines. Visit www.amway.com.ph or call 814-8181 for product information. Many thanks to Artistry and GMCI for this awesome make-up session that left us more knowledgeable about make-ups.

Fashion and Beauty Bloggers' Tea Party at Greenwich-SM Megamall

Greenwich has recently changed its overall service and setting, with Team Manila having given its interiors a makeover. Also, from transacting everything on the counter, they now serve the customer's order to the table for a more personalized service. Good job! Several fashion and beauty bloggers, through the invitation of Lace Llanora of StyleandRelax.net, got to experience this special Greenwich treat in the form of a fabulous tea party.


Greenwich Marketing Manager addressing the bloggers
'Twas an afternoon of bonding, chatter, fun and gastronomic delight over Greenwich food. Their lasagna is still the best in the metro and their Overloaded Extreme Cheese pizzas (in three varieties) are a winner. DJ Andi Manzano would later join us together with the production crew of Qtube. Yes, they covered our party for a future episode in Qtube. How cool is that?


Lace talking for Qtube
Aside from the usual chikahan, there were some contests that tested our wits and confidence. Earth won the Toughest Fashion Experience Contest and yours truly bagged the Best Pose Award.




There was also a makeover courtesy of Anne the Lipstick Addict.

Fashion and beauty bloggers present took home some goodies courtesy of Greenwich (vanity kit), Startworks, Ipanema and Tough Jeans. The tea party organized by Lace (Thanks again!) was really a hit. I'm glad I came. :)
