Cherry blossoms are currently blooming throughout the world. While many cities celebrate with festivals, and locals have flower-viewing parties or picnics under saukra, Instagrammers are celebrating the short-lived blossoming with beautiful photographs of these pink and white flowers.

And so, this fabulous Company was so BIG-TIME-generous to treat facebook fans and bloggers alike to a soooooooo amazing SPArty! I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the fan winners, woot woot!!! Very Thankful:)
The event was held at Svelte Wellness Center- Eastwood City last Mar 31, around 10 AM.

Svelte Wellness Center offers luxurious, effective, safe, yet very affordable skincare services (facials and crystal-free diamond peel), body scrub, intense pulse light (IPL) for hair removal, acne therapy, skin rejuvenation, and vascular therapy, and non-invasive slimming treatments (LipoSculpt and SvelteLipo). With beauty sanctums that are roomy and clean with adjoining restrooms/changing rooms, replete with floor-to-ceiling mirrors, this is indeed a beauty haven.
    


After being warmly welcomed by SVELTE’s staff, we had a little talk with Ms. Suzanne Capulong, Svelte’s Operations Manager; she then briefly assessed what kind of treatment would be the best for each of us, participants, based on our age. She told me that I’ll be getting the ABSOLUTE RT4 (Wrinkle Prevention) a 3+1 Session worth Php. 4,500 (lucky me!).
I think the + 1 in the facial is their fabulous mask, according to my therapist my skin needs the Sensitive Mask 2040: Mask that soothes the skin and contains sea weed violet extract and vitamins A, B and E (from oats). The whole treatment: the facial plus the mask application lasted for about an hour. I get to bring the mask home and still use the other side, putting it on my face 15 minutes before i get to sleep.


That’s me before the treatment :)

( this is what the mask looked like: Sensitive Mask 2040)

AFTER: The treatment was HEAVENLY (I kept on using this word that day)! Having the freshly prepared mask on my face was so soothing and refreshing! Ultimate relaxation at its best:) It wasn’t my first facial treatment, but the MASK EXPERIENCE, that’s my first time and it was totally a WINNER! Worth every penny (In my case, it was free, bongga!). I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends!
UPDATE (days after the treatment): I got tighter pores, my skin is smooth and glowing plus no breakouts:)
And before I forget, it’s a party right? Party ain’t complete without food~ our lunch: Lasagna, spaghetti, pizza, fried chicken, and chips completed the buffet~sarap!
So there you go! It was an amazing day! Speacial thanks to everyone who made this event possible:) The very articulate Ms. Suzanne Capulong and that’s me, sorry, I availed the option to be pricked, so there~ my face was all red:)

Before the treatment: From left to right: Ms. Noria Adam-Lim, me, Ms. Daryll Dial and Ms. Ruth Aviola (not in the photo) All of them are the patient and bubbly organizers of the event and the forces behind the fan pages of Diana Stalder, BCP Corp and Casmara:)

And of course big thanks to my therapist Ms. Lara Enano.

WOW Factors
*The tablet is so easy to swallow; you can actually take it even without water
* It’s available in Watsons and ONLINE
* It’s Collagen, no side effects
* You can already see effects after 2 weeks
From their website:
DOWNSIDE
* HIGH PRICE {the end} But if you really want to have whiter skin then all you need is to INVEST:)
Let me tell you a short story. My friend after consuming about 2 canisters (500mg , 60 tablets each) her friends keep on complimenting her about her blooming aura, she is getting whiter. And yes, I really did see the effect because we are so close and we see each other everyday. Her skin is much fairer compared before and pimples/ breakouts are now seldom seen. No doubt, Mosbeau Food Supplement really delivers to its promises.
And I’m not surprised that Mosbeau received lots of awards, I saw these info from their facebook account:

I joined another facebook contest and all I needed to do was share a picture on my wall and comment, easy, right? Luckily, got a lovely text message congratulating me. I won soap samples from a soap shop. I was doubtful at first, because it’s a soap: can be used to the face and body. I did scrutinize the site and the product. Mahirap nang ma-allergy!

What was really tempting is that, aside from the cute packaging, are these words:
100% VEGETABLE SOAP
BIODEGRADABLE
NO ARTIFICIAL HARDENERS
NO HARMFUL COLORANTS
NO ARTIFICIAL BUBBLE ENHANCERS
NO HARMFUL PRESERVATIVES
HIGHLY MOISTURIZING
It took me months before I tried 2 types of its soap because I was then using a soap I bought from a derm Clinic. And so I tried the AM and PM soaps.


I really intend to use the tandem soap (AM & PM) first because of my recurring acne.
My observations:
* I so love the mild fresh scent
* After washing, you won’t feel any drying effect
* A small bar lasts long
* I got lesser dirt retrieved after using my toner
* Though the price is relatively higher than other over-the-counter brands, it’s worth it!
And the best part:
* It REALLY minimizes breakouts. I was so amazed that for the time span that I actually use this marvelous tandem soap, I don’t have breakouts.BONGGA!
The downside:
* I believe they are only available online
* And I got few samples (would be willing try other variants too… har har har, thanks again Miss Kat for the kit:)
The Verdict:
The experience made me check out their website again. And I’m definitely going to try the other three types on my kit: 24K Gold, 3 in 1, and Morrocan Argan. I’m a fan :)
