Myra VitaGlow Tinted Facial Moisturizer

Lauren — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 07:26:04 +0000

As a beauty blogger, I need to look my best when I go to events. Doing so involves several steps, beginning with cleansing and toning my face thoroughly. I then apply moisturizer to keep my skin soft and supple. If I’m going out in the daytime, I slap on some sunscreen to protect my skin from UV rays and fight off the early signs of aging. Since I have oily skin, I need to wear a makeup base to keep my makeup smear-proof; otherwise, my foundation will melt off my face! Using a concealer, I hide my pimples, post-acne scars, and dark under-eyes before finally covering my entire face with a good foundation. Sounds simple and easy, right?

Unfortunately, I am so busy these days that I hardly have time to sit down and have a proper meal, let alone primp and preen in front of a mirror. Doing all the steps I outlined takes at least 10 minutes, especially since I have to wait for my moisturizer and sunscreen to dry before I apply my makeup base, then wait for my makeup base to dry before putting on foundation. On my most hectic days, I’d wish for a way to eliminate some steps from my beauty routine and still create a flawless-looking face.

So when I was given a bottle of Myra VitaGlow Tinted Facial Moisturizer to try, I was thrilled to discover an entire beauty routine in just one convenient tube! As the name suggests, Myra VitaGlow is a rich moisturizer designed to nourish skin and retain its natural moisture. At the same time, it also works as a concealer – it’s lightly colored to provide mild coverage to blemishes and other problem areas. If your skin is naturally flawless, you can even use this as your foundation! As if this weren’t enough, Myra VitaGlow is infused with SPF 15 so your face stays protected from the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays, and Vitamin E to keep your skin glowing from within. As a dramatic finishing touch, Myra VitaGlow contains minerals that give your skin a romantic dewy look, just like celebrities on the red carpet.

I road tested Myra VitaGlow when I overslept a few days ago. When I saw what the time was, I realized that I only had I had 30 minutes to get showered, dressed, and look pretty for an event. With barely enough time to put on makeup, I instinctively reached for my bottle of Myra VitaGlow after washing my face. I applied it all over, taking care to put a little extra product under my eyes and on my blemishes. I was amazed to discover how quickly my skin absorbed the product – it dried in no time! I then put on some foundation over it and ran out the door.

It took me less than 5 minutes to get pretty with Myra VitaGlow, but it sure didn’t look like it. I got so many compliments about how good I looked, and nobody could tell that I only spent a few minutes in front of the mirror. After that morning, I became convinced that Myra VitaGlow is the multitasking marvel that my hectic lifestyle needs. Not only does it make me look effortlessly good in such a short period of time; it contains amazing benefits like SPF and vitamin E. Did I mention how affordable Myra VitaGlow is? It only costs P135 to have a flawless face and healthy-looking skin.

Jollitown Kicks Off Season 3

Lauren — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 04:41:00 +0000

When I was a kid, I watched Batibot religiously. It’s sad that the show got canceled, and I’m not sure if there are good Tagalog kids shows that replaced it. In any case, it turns out that Jollibee has its own TV show, and that just started its third season! Called Jollitown, this multi-awarded hit show stars the loveable Jollibee mascots – Jollibee, Hetty, Yum, Twirlie, and Popo.

The third season was launched at a fun Kiddie Red Carpet Premiere on August 14 at Teatrino, Greenhills. Kids were treated to a dizzying array of colorful cotton candy, lollipops, and popcorn, as well as glitter tattoos and glow-in-the-dark bracelets. The highlight of the day was the exclusive screening of Jollitown Season 3’s pilot episode. Entitled Tunay na Yaman, the episode showed the Jollifriends as they took on another wonderful adventure and encountered a new villain, the wealthy businessman Mr. Q. Rakot.

Catch the rest of Jollibee’s adventures with the gang every Sunday morning, from 8:30 am to 9:00 am on GMA.
