Fiber Wigs Mascara










Define your eyes with the length and volume you’ve always wanted



with this new treatment! ( can grow up to 1 inch longer!)



We are proud to introduce the newest breakthrough in THICKER and LONGER lashes known as FIBER WIGS! No need for extensions or false eyelashes. Fiber wigs are natural products that attach automatically to your lashes once applied with mascara. There are five items in one treatment set.



1.) Long Lasting Fiber Mascara



2.) Black Fibers for Volumizing



3.) White Fibers for Lengthening



4.) Toner for Mascara



5.) Night Treatment Serum for longer and thicker lashes





Extensions are unhealthy for your eye lashes because after 2 weeks, they will fall off with some of your real lashes due to trauma. But with FIBER WIGS, there are no side effects or downtime and you can use it everyday! It won’t fall off and it is waterproof and smudge free. When you remove them at night, just apply warm water and makeup remover and the FIBER WIGS will automatically fall off.



Still have no idea what fiber wigs are? Let me show you all the items and the step by step procedure =)



Long Lasting Mascara (Waterproof) and Mascara Toner (instant revival for mascara)
This mascara works best with the fibers! Ive tried using other branded mascaras with the fiber wigs, but for some reason it would not give the same results as this mascara.

It comes with a toner just in case your toner dries up or clumps ups! People say it would last them up to 9 months with everyday usage.




Comes with a curved applicator brush for an even and clean finish!



Fiber Wigs are made up of 100% natural ingredients and wont hurt your eyes! Safe for contact lens users =) Black fibers for volume and White Fibers for length




These fibers are made in the USA, and they contain protein and vitamin B to help nourish and lengthen lashes. So not only will you get instant results...you will naturally have longer and thicker lashes in the long run.





This set comes with a night treatment serum that contains Ginseng and Vitamin Pro-B to help lengthen and nourish lashes and eyebrows. Just apply them every night like eyeliner. What else can you ask for in this treatment kit??



Steps: ( i was supposed to use someone with shorter lashes cause my lashes are naturally long already, but i would always forget to take pics of those who have tried it. Now i have to freaking use my face and lashes. haha. S



tep 1: Apply Mascara ( I usually curl my lashes first)

Step 2: Apply the black fibers on your lashes. It could be a bit messy for first timers, but you will get used to it. Dont worry about the fibers! They wont hurt your eyes. Or just sweep those excess fibers off your face.

Step 3: Apply Mascara again


Step 4: Apply the white fibers at the tip of your lashes

Step 5: Apply Mascara again


One set costs Php 4500, which is not so bad. Remember...there are 5 items in one set and can last you up to 9 months of usage. ( If you use it everyday)

Sexy Smile: lipgloss & teeth whitener


Sexy Smile by Dr. Pia Lieb, New YOrk

I really love the concept of this product. One end contains a teeth whitener with an active ingredient of hydrogen peroxide, which is safe to use for your teeth. The other end contains a lip gloss that has a great moisturizing effect and is made up of a blue base that will help make teeth look whiter. This is something similar to crest whitening strips, but sexy smile is so much better cause its very convenient to use and bring. It has a small brush that gives you control over your desired degree of whitening and allows you to target your specific areas.

Ive been using this product for almost a month and it did make my teeth 4 shades lighter. Its also so convenient to bring cause it fits my purse. This is perfect for smokers, coffee drinkers and wine drinkers. Just brush away and be picture ready! =)

My Basic Skin Care Routine and Walk in CLoset











Spend for your skin! Its a good investment =)






My Skin Care Regimen
( that i have to follow for life!)





By the age of 18, everyone should be doing the basic skin care regimen in order to prevent the signs of aging. I started to put basic creams at the age of 13 because of my mom. It was just at the age of 21, that i started to become more conscious, thus completed my regimen. These are some of the products that Ive already tested and will continue to test other products in the future. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing are not enough. There are more steps you need to know...




I have dry-normal skin so I use Revaleskin Cleanser to wash my face in the morning. It has a creamy texture that hydrates my skin while delivering potent antioxidant known as coffeeberry to help prevent aging skin. It doesn't irritate my skin at all!


I remove my makeup at night with either Physiogel cleanser or Clinique Comforting Cleanser. Sometimes these cleansers are not enough to take my makeup out so i use astringent after.

This Kera Forte Astringent was formulated at the clinic. It contains keratolytic acid that cleanses, softens and sheds off dead skin cells. I would notice that my cotton ball would still have some dirt and residue after swiping it all over my face. Great for acne as well!

FLAVO C- is a vitamin c serum that contains 8% ascorbic acid and ginkgo biloba. I place this every morning before my sunblock or day cream.

Ascorbic acid is another powerful antioxidant that is supposed to increase collagen formation and reduce fine wrinkles. Some of our patients use this for crow's feet or eye wrinkles.

Ive been using this for 7 months now. So far, so good. I cant really tell cause ive been combining a lot of different products. But Ive noticed that the vit c made my skin glow more. This is the only vit c. serum ive used, and there are a lot to still try. Like Obagi's Vit C serum and Skin Ceutical's Phloretin CF serum. Heard that they are pricey but are very good!
Now ive shifted to the Vit C Moisturizing Anti-aging cream. I like it so much better than the serum cause its not sticky. It leaves your skin moisturized and radiant because of the vit c. I wear it at night or sometimes in the morning before my makeup to give me that dewy look.
I recommend this product. Its around Php 2500 for 30 ml.

After my vit c serum/cream, I place my Revaleskin DayCream with SPF 15.
Like what i said in my other blog enrty, this day cream has so much benefits. It is An antioxidant, moisturizer and suncreen in one. I only wear this if i don't expose myself to the sun too much. Like leaving the house, getting in the car and going to the clinic . This product may be a bit pricey, but it's worth it. (Php 4200) I like the feeling of applying something that rejuvenates and protects my skin at the same time. It doesnt make my skin oily at all.

My aunt told me that it helped vanish her eyebags and wrinkles in 4 months.



For greater exposures, like going to the beach or driving your own car...i suggest spf 45-60 with anti UVA/UVB. Cetaphil sunblock is such a good product especially for sensitive skin. (Php 960 for 50 ml) Not oily at all for the skin.





Night:Tretinoin Cream is still the best cream and number one treatment for anti aging and pimples. It is a strong exfoliant that peels off your dead skin cells and ligthens your skin texture (sun damaged skin) and at the same time fades fine wrinkles. It is also used for acne because it helps decrease sebum formation and unplugs acne follicles.

Dont be scared to peel. Some of our patients don't like peeling so they discontinue this cream. But they dont understand that they have to peel off their old skin at the top layer and reveal new skin. (Just like snakes) Some side effects of this cream are redness, dryness and increased sensitivity to the sun.



M2 HP Skin Finish contains both Mandelic and Malic Acid. Definitely one of my favorite night products! I love how it leaves my skin soft and hydrated as I wake up in the morning. Its an all in one night treatment serum.

Benefits:

  • corrects and tightens the pores
  • decreases breakouts
  • fades acne scarrings and blemishes
  • smoothens and hydrates the skin
  • diminishes fine wrinkles
  • lightens pigmentation/sun spots
  • adds luster and glow to the skin

I apply it alternately with my tretinoin cream to avoid irritation. It gives a tingling sensation which is normal only. Its serum based so its a bit sticky and the smell is not so good. Its important to apply moisturizer after 5 mins for better results.

I use either the Flavo C anti-aging moisturizing cream or the DCL Oil Free Ulta Light Hydrator The DCL is perfect for people with oily skin. It gives the right amount of moisture.










A mini peel treatment or 20% gycolic peel treatment is also necessary once or twice a week. Since my skin dries up easily, I use this treatment once a month only, but for people who
have oily skin and are pimple prone should use it at least twice a week.


This is a mini peel treatment that is used to even out skin texture, heal blackheads and acne and diminish fine wrinkles. It gives a stingy sensation for a while but it is tolerable.
This kind of peeling is very mild and no flaking will occur. You can avail this at our clinic as well. Its Php 4000 for 50 pads. Its actually cheaper cause it would turn out that each pad would cost 80 pesos only. So how much is a glycolic treatment in a facial center or derma? Around 1000-3000 per session. Crazy! Just do it yourself at home.


I would swipe my face with one pad and leave it on for 10 mins. After 10 mins, wash it off with cold water.






I spend for hair as well since i have very stubborn hair. =(












I just want to share my closet with you
as well . Im just proud that its very organized now. But during the weekends?? Oh dear...

This walk in closet connects my room and my sister's room together. I like it better this way cause its fun to dress up together. We get to comment on each other's outfits and help do makeup. We usually share everything =)







All products are available at the Arambulo's Skin Clinic or any dermatologists only!

Revaleskin Night Cream and Cetaphil Sunblock


This product is perfect for those who want to rejuvenate and moisturize their skin without peeling. Although according to my mom, who's a dermatologist, peeling is necessary in order to remove dead skin cells and attain a youthful glow. Don't be afraid of peeling!

Revaleskin is made up of a powerful antioxidant known as coffeeberry. They have discovered that harvesters of the fruit had youthful and beautiful hands. Hence, the idea came up to explore the use of coffeeberry in anti-aging skin care. Studies have shown that COFFEEBERRY has a higher antioxidant capacity than green tea, pomegrante and vitamins C & E.

Revaleskin can...

1. Rejuvenate skin damaged by daily exposure to free radicals-molecules that cause the breakdiwn of collagen and contribute to overall skin aging.

2. Protect the skin against everyday environmental damage, sush as sun, wind and temperature.

3. Help reverse the signs of aging

I like their daycream better cause it has spf 15. I wear it before i place my makeup on. So during the day, my face is being rejuvenated at the same time protected by the sun. You have to use it everyday for at least a month to see full effects. My skin became softer and more supple. It enhanced my overall skin texture.

DAYCREAM: Antioxidant, Moisturizer and Suncreen
in one


But if il really be exposed to the sun like outings, driving and beaches, i usaully use cetaphil sunblock with spf 60. Always look for a sunblock with anti UVA-UVB and at least spf 45-60. Reapply every 4 hours.

Cetaphil is really good for senstive skin! My friends and patients who bought them, gave me good comments that it didnt clog their pores. After the beach, their skin wont get as dark as usual compared with other sunblocks.

All of these products can be bought at Arambulo's Skin Clinic or any nearest dermatologists only.

My Inspiration

Hi! This is my first blog entry and I am really excited to share with the world about my life and experiences in love, family, friends and BEAUTY as well.

I am an Aesthetic Nurse for Arambulo's Skin Clinic And a Hair Transplant Nurse for Asian Hair Restoration Center. I import and retail beauty products and supplies as well. (Empress MT Enterprises)

My mom is a dermatologist and i am very lucky to learn at an early age how to protect the skin.
I think I started putting anti aging creams such as retinol and AHA at the age of 13! (7th grade) As my mom would always say, the earlier the better. My mom looks great for her age! (51) She started putting creams and avoiding the bad sun (12nn-3pm) since age 23.



My younger sister, my mom and me in NY 2009
( Girls? If you want to look as great as my mom
at the age of 51?? Start applying and protecting!)

What inspired me to blog is that i realized that not all women out there know how to take care of their skin and are not aware on how harmful the sun can be. Gosh..all those wrinkles and sun spots! Yes without SPF everyday...you can age everyday. Even if you are just driving or walking out the road. People would usually think that they should only wear sunblock when they go out to the beach.





One mistake that i do regret is when i would always get a tan on the beach. I can remember those days laying out in the sun, burning my skin so that i can get that gorgeous tan everyone would die for. So wrong! Right now, at the age of 25,i can see my tiny sun spots popping out! i have like 7 tiny spots. It all came out after a year. I will upload a pic of my spots in awhile...
My mom would always say..."I told you so. Tigas ng ulo mo." =p
