More To Mica - Life & Fashion Theme Update

I have to admit that I'm not sure if I am eligible to be using anti-ageing creams like L'Oreal Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Day Cream. Not to mention, I'm not someone whose into age defense products (yet). Anyway, the moment I got my hands on this one I initially thought I'd give it to my mom but we ended up sharing. Well, I was using it more often... I've been using it for around 3-4 months now. Who knows, I might be able to rip off some anti-ageing benefits.



The day cream is contained in a quite heavy glass jar with a plastic lid to seal the cream in between use. For some reason I couldn't find the plastic lid anymore, Good luck hygiene. Lol.





L'Oreal Revitalift Day Cream has a noticeably yellowish tone but isn't visible on the face. The cream has a tiny bit of a cooling sensation when applied. It's texture is lightweight and a little really goes a long way... I've been religiously using it for 4 months (with just 3 or 4 days missed) but I haven't got the product to halfway even. Ang dami pa talaga.



I'd say I liked using  L'Oreal Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Day Cream. It's SPF is definitely a plus but on my first application I had a really noticeable white cast. So I make sure to apply a thin layer on my face to reduce the white cast.. but I still put a lot on my neck so I could maybe finish off the jar.



I would like to use the cream again but the cream and my oily skin don't quite mix... it isn't helping the white cast either. So I'm sticking to the product that I've been using beforehand which gives my face equal moisture and sunscreen at a more affordable price. But I still suggest you try it if you like or if you don't have oily skin like mine, as these type of creams can actually benefit our skin. The results may not be visible at my age but I do believe that it will do good for my skin, specially in preventing fine lines and wrinkles. I wish I didn't have oily skin so I can keep using the day cream.

In for a treat? Turn away from your busy life for a while, get relaxed and get pampered.

On October 17 from 10AM to 12 noon, you can head over to any Nailaholics branch nationwide and get a relaxing manicure and free hand massage for free. Mark the date!





It's rare that I visit a nail salon to get my mani pedi done. I've mentioned it in a post how I'd usually just do my own pampering to save time and money. Like you, a busy schedule and the daily grind keeps me from having that necessary 'me-time'.




I finally had the chance to have two ates pamper me like a baby. Wee! The staff were really welcoming and caring. Nailaholics reminded me how it felt so relaxing to have someone else pamper you, have some time for yourself and indulge.





Now I have clean and milky, naked-looking nails for days. They have  a lot of colors to choose from... you might struggle picking. Well, I struggled. Went for a barely there milky looking Orly polish for my nails and nude Zoya for my toenails. So it's your turn! As Nailaholics celebrates and takes part in the country’s first ever #NationalPamperingDay I want you to have some good ol' pampering sesh as well.





Perhaps no other nail salon in the country is better known for having perfected the art of a quick, urban pampering the way Nailaholics has. Their interiors are inviting, their service is efficient, and the promise of getting whisked away from realities of looming deadlines, to-do lists, traffic, and whatever else awaits outside the doors of this quaint Hamptons-themed escape, becomes possible —even if it’s only for a few hours.

“We get that,” says Arvin Amaro, Marketing Head. “And it’s exactly why we we’re celebrating National Pampering Day. We want to give people who need a break a quick escape where they won’t have anything to worry about. So be sure that you head over to your nearest Nailaholics branch to get pampered for free.”
