My First session of Arm Care at Yakson house

You want to wear sleeveless but you have thick arms? I'm telling you that you are not alone. I, myself have thick arms too. I believe that it was hereditary since my mom has also have the same problem. I have done arm exercises which are NOT intense because I am afraid to develop muscles instead of minimizing the size my forearms. The good thing is that Yakson House offered me to try another service. And of course I chose, the ARM CARE.

But before that, please check this post about my final session ( Special Bridal Care) at Yakson House here.

YAKSON HOUSE PROMISE:

My experience:

The session starts with a bone therapy with Ms. Kim. While doing the bone therapy, she explains to me the succeeding procedures. Next was the Back Care, as I told you many times before, their back care was superb (this was actually my favorite). It was followed by arm massage, the arm massage was not really painful although at some points it is, however, after arm massage (using hands) they used a special massage tool which looks like a little plate (platito) this makes the massage really painful. the final step was the slimming machine, it is a machine that they use in order slim down the fats underneath the forearms. The feeling was a little bit like electrocuted. But don't worry, it is tolerable. After the first session, my arms feel a little bit lighter. i don't know if it is because of the slimming machine or if it is all in the mind :)

Anyway, before having this session, I measure my forearms it is almost 11 inches. (OMG :( it is not proportionate with my small body with 32-24-34 stats). I'm looking forward for a great result.

By the way, when I got home I noticed these bruises:

bruises :(

I think it is because of the 'platito' (that is what I called it ) which was the most painful of all the procedures. I immediately contacted Yakson House and ask if it is normal. Both of my arms have bruises. They say it is normal and if it hurts I can put any menthol oil. Actually, these bruises didn't hurt me that much as long as nobody or nothing touches them, what bothers me is that they are too noticeable. Good thing that my class was suspended today. (I just pray that bagyong Glenda will not be that strong and all my fellow countrymen will be safe.) Anyway, I also did a research on how to minimize bruises. (Click Here)

That is all for today! See you on my next post :) Keep safe everyone!

Skin Condition BEFORE using these products

Skin Condition AFTER using these products
(ONE month of usage)

Price: It is sent to me for product review. Uguisu Poo Facial mask cost is $25.95 while Uguisu Poo Soap cost $19.95.

You can purchase it at Birdpoopfacial.com by Racosme

Availability: unfortunately, this soap is not yet available in the local markets and malls but you can always purchase it online at Racosme!

Packaging: For Uguisu Poo No Fun Mask, the packaging was simple and very handy. You can bring it anywhere.

For Uguisu Poo Soap, it is packed in a paper-like packaging. 

Fragrance: For the mask, It has no smell at all.  For the soap, it smell like a little similar with TLS.

Efficiency: As you can notice on the pictures above, the whitening effect is much noticeable than TLS. 

As to pimple case, I still have some pimples BUT they are just always smaller.  (Maybe the reason was because my school was located in Manila and the pollution was terrible + sleepless night because of SCHOOL). 

I believe that these product helped me prevent severe acne. You can also notice on the Before and After picture, my fine lines on my forehead was visibly reduced! Anyway I used the soap daily once a day.I tried to cut this soap in a half just like what I did with my TLS but it was really hard to break.  However, what I love about the soap is that, it does not melt easily. I still almost have a half of it considering I have already used it for a month now. While the mask, I have used it 4x only. Yes, 4x only. I am kinda lazy because I don't really like mixing, I find it messy. I wished they can have a mask in a liquid form already! 

Final thought: These products might sound REALLY expensive! (especially for students like me) but I think I will be a great investment because you can use both product for 2 months depending on how you use them. :) 

Note:I will be using these for another month and see if my pimples will finally vanished I will try to use the mask atleast 3x a week. I will just give you an update.

 (If you are wondering what happened to my TLS, I have stopped using TLS for a month to give way these products  but after I finished using these I will start using TLS again) 

See you on my next post! :)

Beautiful Ending at Yakson House! (Part 4)

Hello beautiful readers! My 10 session of bridal skin care program is already ended. And I know that you want to know the final result  as much as  I want to share this experience to you. But before that let us have a recap of what happened :

• Yakson House' 3rd Beauty Editor - on this post I shared to you how I become Yakson House Beauty blogger.
• My first Yakson House Experience- I posted my impressions and observations about Yakson House
• My Yakson House Experience - Part 2- I shared to you my 2^{nd to} 4^th session and the difference between FR program and SBC program.
• My Yakson House Experience Part 3-  I gave you a peek on what is happening during the massage session from my 5^{th to} 7^th  sessions.

Today I will wrap up everything I have experience but before anything else let us meet the people behind Yakson House Philippine Branch.

MEET YAKSON HOUSE STAFFS:

Ms. Liza, Ms.Kim (Branch Manager), Ms. Jo
(from left to right)

NOTE: Ms. Tina ( one of their staffs)  was not included on the photo because she is currently at Korea for her training. ( See the quality of their training? Awesome right.)

That's me on the right side photo with Ms. Kim and Ms. Liza

MY EXPERIENCE:

8th session

 For  8th session I don't have anything new to share. I still feel a moderate pain on my tummy massage but as I told you it is tolerable. The facial massage and bone therapy is now harder than before maybe because it is already the 8th session. Nevertheless, this session is most likely the same with my 6th and 7th session.

9th session

It was the same with my 8th session, a little bit painful but tolerable. the only difference was they gave me a short leg stretching while waiting for the mask to be absorbed by my skin.

And finally...

10th session

My 10th session starts with picture taking just like what happened on my first session. This session was probably the most painful one but still bearable.

This is my customer card! the proof of having 10 sessions

AFTER the 10 sessions what do we expect?

LEFT (FR); RIGHT ( SBC)

IN MY OBSERVATIONS (with other people's observation):

Since Face Reduction (FR)  is not really the program I'm into but I got almost two of the service which I already explain here. Let us see my observations (not in order):

1.) Well-define features- you can see my before and after picture below and as you can notice my eyes are well-define now than before.

BEFORE:

My photos before the having a massage!
 I covered the face of my Boy Bestfriend for privacy purposes.

Additional:  As you can notice on the photo above. I have a double chin even though I am not fat at all. 

AFTER

And my double chin was not visible here anymore. The massage lessen the appearance of double chin through lifting.

MOLDED MASK RESULTS:

Left (BEFORE) ; Right ( AFTER)

2.) Small Face; Oval shaped face;Ball shaped head-  was not really that applicable to me because I already have small face as you can notice.

3.) Hair loss prevention- according to what I read, massaging the scalp can really help lessen the hair loss and there is no doubt that it can prevent hair loss. I can't really tell the efficiency of  this because I also use castor oil for my hair but one thing I assure you is that it helped me minimize the hair fall.

Above ( BEFORE)
Below (AFTER)

4.) Moisturizing and Lifting- as you can see on the photo above, my face looks slimmer on 7/7/2014 (it was taken on my 10th session.) As I told you, i already have a small face but the problem is that my skin looks stressed and sagging. But after 10 sessions, Lifting can be visibly notice thus, makes my face look slimmer.

5.) Beautiful face Line- - you can already notice a V-line shape on my face. This is because of the lifting.

6.) Photogenic face-  I believe that being photogenic depends on the camera, good lighting and beautiful angle. But pictures with well-defined features and without visible double chin are much better in pictures right? so for me it is a checked :)

To wrap up everything:

People:

* No doubt that they are professionals. 

They are well-trained and they give me extra advice.

*And even though I got this services free, they still treat me as 

their regular customer with free consultations.

Place: 

*The place was easy to find and accessible since I currently live in Makati.

*Though the place was small, it is clean and the wall paint makes an ambiance for a good mood.

Price:

Firstly, if you find their service prices expensive, think again. They are not ordinary massage spa, they offer a 'Beauty Massage'  that can be compare to aesthetic clinics. If you are going to compare their prices with other clinics, Yakson House' prices are very reasonable. And although, aesthetics clinic gives you results in a day or in week I don't think they are that safest way. Have you watched the Retokadang Ina at GMA? If not, watch it. I don't generalize doctors but I must say NOT ALL doctors are really reliable (just like what happened to the story of Michelle Villamor), some of them just wants to have income. And to compare them to Yakson House, well, YH offers the safest way to beautiful body and face through 'bone therapy'. And the fact that you can feel relax while being beautiful. I don't think "when" is not the issue anymore but the "effects" are much more important.

EFFICIENCY:

For me it is very much effective. You can compare my pictures before and after and you can notice everything that I say are true. :) I am very satisfied although I am sad because the program has ended.

And that ends my Special Bridal Care. Anyway I received an email from Yakson House Korea and they offer me to try another services. To give you a hint what I chose, here is a picture:

Tada! See you on my next post! :*

REVIEW: Tony Moly Party Lover Eyebrow Cake

Hi welcome to my blog again. Today, I am going to give a very short review about Tony Moly Party Lover Eyebrow Cake. But before that, I want you to know that I will be very busy because my comprehensive review has already started. ( Please bear with me! This is for my future). As you can notice, I am blogging a little less for a month already. However, I assure you that I will still continue to blog if ever I will have a free time. Anyway, I have still a lot of products to try on  in which I will be very much happy to share my experiences with you.

NOTE: for this review, please bear in mind that I am NO MAKEUP EXPERT! 

Having a neat brows are really a must because our brows give frames to our face. If you are wondering what are good products to try on especially if you are a beginner in make-up, many blogs will tell you to use eyebrow pencils  BUT according to my own experience, I found eyebrow pencils difficult to use especially if you are poor in blending. More often, if you are a beginner, you will end up with sharp edges when you use pencil. Anyway, i do recommend you to try brow powder.

1. no make up
2.dark brown
3.brown

Price: Php 448, I bought it at Tony Moly Manila. Don't worry it is actually a pretty makeup investment since you can use it a long time.

Lasting Power: up to 4-6 hours depending on weather situations.

Packaging: black packaging is nice since it is in powder form. it will lessen the appearance of stains.

Final thought: What i love about it is that it is easy to remove on skin by water but it is a little bit hard to remove on eyebrows meaning it could be waterproof as long as you don't smudge it.

I recommend this for beginners like me who wants a natural eyebrow look.  Just make sure not to overdo it. I am sure that you don't want to be like Betty la Fea.

see you on my next blog post!
