Consistency & Loyalty in Skin & Body Care Key To Success

Consistency & Loyalty in Skin & Body Care Key To Success

Saturday, September 15

Excelling in the beauty industry is always more challenging as compared to any other industry. Customers of skin care clinics are often more critical, demanding and are always looking for value for their money. 

But, for the past years, SvelT’i Health and Beauty Centre has been successful in consistently providing utmost skincare and beauty treatments to its wide array of customers. Now celebrating its third anniversary, chief doctors of SvelT’i Dr. Marjorie Lalaine Salazar and Dr. Anne Caoile share their secret in keeping SvelT’i one of the best clinics right now. 

“Consistency in everything is key,” enthuses Dr. Marj. “From the first day that we opened up until now, our service and commitment to our customer have never wavered, it only got better” she adds. As a matter of fact, she proudly shared that at SvelT’i, utmost customer service is key. For the past three years, each medical professional from the clinic—doctors, registered nurses and licensed therapists, has been giving ample time and attention to each client, patiently understanding the requirements of each so that they can give the right treatment recommendations because at SvelT’i, it’s not just about the cost, but also the impact a treatment will have on their customers. 

“I remember there was this customer who has been to every beauty clinic we know of, yet, those clinics weren’t able to help her with her concerns. When she enrolled in SvelT’i, she was a bit hesitant because of her prior experiences but we assured her that we are different. We deliver results and we deliver them well. We made sure to address the root of the problem and provided her with the right solutions and treatments. Now, she is very happy with the outcome and is one of our valuable customers,” shares Dr. Anne. 

It might be a challenge to come out as the best and gain customer loyalty in an industry laden with many competitors but, SvelT’i was able to retain its clientele and even captured more customers in their 3 years. Asked for their secret in retaining customers, Dr. Anne shares, “The customers feel that they are well taken-cared of. From their first check-up to the latest, the doctors know what treatments they need and we make sure that there are results. Whether big or small concerns, we ensure our clients that we provide solutions to their problems. And that is our continual promise to them.” 

Another exceptional asset of SvelT’i is that it religiously keeps up with technology that is valuable to its clientele. SvelT’i only uses state-of-the-art machines and equipment and knows the latest trends in the beauty industry. One of its newest offerings in their line of minimally invasive treatments is their thread lift treatment. Unknown to many, there are many kinds of threads for different uses and SvelT’i has been using them to suit the different needs of its customers. Dr. Marj explains, “Before each patient undergoes any thread lift, we thoroughly explain to him/her the effects and benefits of the said procedure. Even if they don’t ask, we offer the explanation so as to educate them and prepare them for the procedure.” And in keeping with their promise of beautifying with the aid of the latest technology, SvelT’i uses 5th generation threads, which is the latest of its kind in the market. Only the best from the best! 

And as their way of thanking their loyal customers, SvelT’i is celebrating its 3rd anniversary with a blast! Lucky customers will get the chance to win an array of great prizes such as free treatments worth 25k, 50k, 75k and a grand prize of trip for two to Tokyo, Japan! So, what are you waiting for? Book an appointment now and see, feel, and experience the difference only with SvelT’i.

Smelly Hair Problem?

Smelly Hair Problem?

Friday, September 14

Grilled barbecue, sizzling sisig, crispy pata. The smell of these food makes you salivate, right?

Going on a food crawl or undertaking a gustatory exploration of the metro’s much talked about neighborhood foodie destinations, more popularly known as food parks or food streets, is one exciting activity people love doing these days. After all, eating is life!

If you are in Quezon City, there is a line of eateries along Maginhawa Street in Teacher’s Village known for its laidback vibe and variety of budget-friendly cuisines. Other popular neighborhood destinations for “eatventure” lovers can be found in Kapitolyo, Pasig along East Capitol Drive and its nearby streets. 

There is also the Lilac Street in Marikina, where one can find a lot of homey restos and unique cafes. The list could go on and on.

Nonetheless, there are downsides to this adventure. Aside from the extra calories, you would most probably take with you the smell of the various meals that you ate after each food park visit as the odor tends to stick to your clothes and hair. Same is true when you are dining in a cafeteria or cooking at home. 

This can really be awful and oftentimes becomes a source of embarrassment. Imagine bumping into your crush afterwards, and he could readily tell you just ate sisig or isaw. Or your get-together with some friends is just starting and you don’t feel fresh and cool at all because your hair smells of food. 

But unlike clothes that you can change or spray cologne on to quickly get rid of the food smells, you cannot change your hair. You are stuck with your hair, so to speak. You can wash or shower off the smell though, but this is not possible when you are in the middle of work or when you’re travelling. 

It’s a good thing, though, that there is now a quick fix to this hair concern – Vitress Hair Freshener. This breakthrough product from Splash Corporation’s Vitress Hair care Solutions is infused with the revolutionary Insta-fresh technology, which immediately takes away unwanted odor from your hair and replaces it with a long-lasting fresh scent. That is, while leaving your hair smooth and shiny!

So, go on and immerse yourself in your next food trip without worries as Vitress Hair Freshener lets you enjoy the offerings of the latest food park, cafeteria or any food outlet, or even your own kitchen, for that matter, without the after-smell. A few sprays of Vitress Hair Freshener are all you need to instantly refresh your hair.

Not only does the innovative product eliminate food smells from your hair, but also unwanted odor from sweat, cigarette smoke, vehicle smoke emission, or what have you. 

Perfect for everyday use and can be re-applied as needed, Vitress Hair Freshener lets you have shiny-fresh hair anytime, anywhere!

You can buy Vitress Hair Freshener from your favorite supermarkets, drugstores and department stores nationwide at SRP of only Php55.

Skin Whitening Soap Review: Bellissima Egg White

Skin Whitening Soap Review: Bellissima Egg White

Sunday, April 1

For someone like me who is already 41 years old, taking care of my skin requires extra effort. I am very careful in choosing the products I put on my skin especially on my face. My skin breaks out right away whenever I use a product that doesn't suit my sensitive skin. 

I don't have a flawless skin. I suffered from acne when I was in my 20s and acne scars are still noticeable on my face. My acne scars used to be reddish but I discovered before the use of egg whites as facial mask helps fade the redness. It also helps tighten the skin. 

Going "natural" is the best thing to do. But sometimes my busy schedule gets in the way. Then I discovered Bellissima Egg White Skin Whitening Beauty Soap. Believe it or not, it is made from real egg whites.

Bellissima Egg White Skin Whitening Beauty Soap provides the same benefits of using a DIY egg white facial mask. It lightens your pimple marks, tightens the skin, and reduces oiliness. The advantages of using Bellissima over the homemade egg white mask are: you need not waste those precious minutes preparing the mask and this soap smells so good. I don't just use it for the face. It's also my bath soap. 

It has a rich, creamy lather making it a bath pampering experience when I use it with my bath puff. After rinsing, my skin feels soft and smooth. You definitely got to try it.

Bellissima Egg White is available in Puregold for only P55. I was at Puregold near where I live recently and saw the promo pack, 2 boxes for only P85. If you are like me who use different a different soap for the face and for the body, then the special promo is perfect!

Divatress Wigs: Shortcut To A New Look

Divatress Wigs: Shortcut To A New Look

Thursday, November 2

I received an email from Divatress and this sponsored post is really coming at a great time. I was just thinking how I could share with you about my fascination with wigs.

I love whenever Facebook memories show up on my timeline. It seems like years pass by without me noticing. One thing that caught my attention recently was how my look never changed. If you think I'm lucky because I didn't seem like I aged, it's not what I meant. What I mean is that my hairstyle looks the same every year! How boring, right?

I've been wanting to dye my hair red or blue but I am not that committed yet. Another problem, I am blessed with a jet black hair and the hair specialist always suggest that I need to bleach my hair first to achieve the desired shade. I've heard (and witnessed) horror stories about damaged hair due to bleaching so... NO.

Best solution ever -- WIGS!

What I was wearing was just an off the rack from the department store. I remember spending hours looking for the perfect wig but ended up with something "just ok". 

I wanna save you from wasting your time and the stress looking for the perfect wig because you can actually buy wigs online!

Have I mentioned obsessing having a red hair? I think this Remy wig made from human hair will look good on me. They are  real hair you wouldn't even guess I'm wearing a wig.

Or probably this iron friendly lace front wig style in blue. Well, no matter what color or style I want I'll find something to give me a new look in an instant at Divatress. They have thousands of wigs and hair products to choose from and you can shop whenever you like and wherever you are.

Maybelline Tattoo Brow Gel Tint Review

Maybelline Tattoo Brow Gel Tint Review

Friday, August 18

When I saw the Maybelline Tattoo Brow Gel Tint on the Facebook page of Maybelline Philippines two days ago, I told myself I should get hold of this the soonest. This morning, I went to Watson's in SM Masinag to buy. 

I got the Maybelline Tattoo Brow Gel Tint in Dark Brown. The other two shades available are Light Brown and Medium Brown. The 5 ml bottle sells at PhP599.

The Promise: Perfect tattoo brows that stay up to 3 days without smudging and smearing.

This is how my bare brows look like. I exert as much effort as I can to fix them but most of the time I'm lazy and find it time consuming. I'm always ready to go with just foundation and lipstick.

This is how it looks like immediately after applying. Honestly, I felt a little scared. It's my first time to try this kind of product.

According to Maybelline's website, the Tattoo Brow Gel Tint has an error-proof brush for easy application of the gel on the brows and provides a painless application with no hair loss. 

Verdict: I always have a hard time fixing my left brow. With the brush provided, it made me feel like a pro. Not messy. 

I waited for 20 minutes to let the gel dry before peeling off. There's no difficulty in peeling off. No pain. No hair loss.

Am I satisfied with the result? YES.  My eyebrows look natural. Something I never achieved when using brow pencil or brow kit.

BUT I found out from the brand's website that the 20 minute wait will make my tattoo brow tint last for only one day. If I want it to last for maximum of 3 days, I'll have to wait for 2 hours before I peel it off. Hmm... I dunno if I have the patience to wait for 2 hours unless I'll be doing something else. 

Will I buy again? YES.

========================================================================

Update: (21 August 2017)

Pardon because I don't have a good selfie camera. This is my 2nd time to use the Maybelline Tattoo Brow Gel Tint and I let it stay for an hour before peeling off.  My eyebrows are well-defined also compared to how they looked like the first time I used the product.
