Its a Refreshing Start!

      Blogging is a hobby for me, I feel so happy whenever I blog. I never expect that I can be rewarded with this hobby. I won a Moringa O2's gift pack plus a Refreshing Spa Package at The Spa from a contest from Sampleroom.

Gift Pack plus The Spa gift check

Gift Pack includes toner,soap, and lotion♥

        I was really excited since I haven't try The Spa's services before. I meet Ms. Joan Quejada of Moringa-O2's Marketing Department to claim my prizes. She is pretty, nice and very accommodating. So after I claimed my prizes, I headed to Trinoma and book my appointment on August 14, 2013 at 2pm.

       Refreshing Start Package♥ The ultimate renewal from head to toe. 2h 45min. Aroma Facial or Aroma Scalp and Shoulder Massage + choice of Classic Massage + choice of Foot Care Deluxe 1950 | Executive 2150 | Suite/Villa 3000

I chose Aroma Facial, Peppermint Foot Rub and Swedish Massage. I feel so excited as I headed inside and I was given a locker key. They got a dim light and a very relaxing ambiance. They have this wonderful wash area (img 2) that was embedded with stones. I was approached by one of their employee, and was given a bathrobe, rubber slipper, and a towel. Their theme is probably Ancient Roman, I really love their shower room -- makes me feel like I am a Goddess while I'm showering, hehe. After I showered, I was given a cup of ginger tea and headed to a tent-like room with 3 seats. I love the lighting (img 1), it feels like the old times and the silence was really relaxing.

Lamp as the whole lighting source            Wash area with embedded stones

         While drinking my cup of ginger tea, my feet was soak in a wooden basil filled with warm water to get ready for the foot rub. The therapist talk sweetly and another therapist came in for the facial. I needed to lay down while having the foot rub and facial at same time. My feet was not only scrub but also massage up to my legs. Aroma Facial's pricking didn't hurt that much, they're more on massage which is also up to your shoulders. I love the minty feeling for both my feet and face while they massaged it.  That was the most relaxing feeling ever! How I wish it can be done everyday!

Cup of ginger tea, I want more... 

Afterwards, I headed to a bigger tent which they call their deluxe room for my Swedish massage. Honestly, its my first time to try it. The ambiance is really relaxing plus a nature sound they added as a background music. I was about to chose the Combination massage but I was told that Swedish was better, and yes, I think its the best massage ever! I almost fell asleep, like I don't want my massage to end. It was very satisfying, relaxing and what you paid for was really worth it.

After my massage, I asked if I can still shower and my therapist told me to shower for 5 mins after I drink my tea. Their tea was really good, I never liked tea but when I had it theirs, my taste buds feels addicted with it. After I showered, I fixed myself and headed to their vanity area. I felt a bit sad that my package has ended already, I still want more.. haha !

It's me at the vanity area after the refreshing start package.

My experience at the Spa - Trinoma was really awesome. I can't find a word to describe it but I'll surely treasure this experience. I am looking forward to get another service from them. 

Thank you The Spa
for an amazing experience!

Thank you very much to 

Moringa O2 and Sampleroom !

Physiogel Intensive Cream : A Miraculous Cream?

Are you someone who is suffering from very dry, irritated and sensitive skin? I had found my solution with my very dry skin and I am so happy to have this product.

Luckily, I grab a sample of Physiogel Intensive Cream from Sampleroom and all I have to do is pay for the shipping fee and delivered last July 8, 2013 so I'd been using it for 2 weeks.

Full Size: 50 ml

Price: Php 574.50

Description:

Physiogel Intensive Cream contains high level of natural lipids to hydrate moderately dry to very dry irritated and sensitive skin. 

Directions:

Apply a thin film once or twice daily. 

I am really excited to try this product, it has been a couple of years since I am suffering from a dry skin on the side area of my foot near my ankle, actually both of foot have the same problem. The texture was really dry and really looks scaly , and I am really hating it a lot. I have tried several creams but they didn't work.

Right foot

Before using Physiogel Intensive Cream

I am really amazed when on the first day I tried this cream. I applied a thin layer at 4pm and checked on it by 8pm. I was surprised that when I tried to rubbed (or should I say scrubbed) it, I noticed that there are some layers of dry skin peeled off. My skin was renew, its even softer than before and even fairer. I can't really wait what else can this cream do until today I notice a big change.

A picture of the dry area after 1 and 2 weeks of using this cream.

Actual picture, after using this cream for 2 weeks.

I can really say that it does a lot to my skin problem. A big WOW for this product, such a miracle. Though it might be a bit pricey, I can really say that its worth to buy. 

BTW, I am also using it to my face as a moisturizer. Now, it feels softer and healthier.

Goodbye to dry and scaly skin :)

Thanks to Physiogel Intensive Cream.

And Special thanks to Sampleroom !

Love,

Jo-An

Moringa-02: a Beauty Must-have :)

I am someone who loves something natural when it comes to beauty products and its amazing to get free samples of Moringa-02 products from Sampleroom. Here's an image of the Moringa-02 products I have.

Grabbed from my Instagram

I would love to share my review for the Moringa-02 Malunggay Herbal Facial Toner which the toner I am currently loving.

Moringa-02 Malunggay Herbal Facial Toner

Full size: 100 ml Price: PHP 89.75

What I like:

♥ I could really smell malunggay but in its deluxe scent.

♥ My skin feels so soft even after the first try.

♥ Its alcohol-free.

♥ It has natural ingredients.

♥ It moisturizes my skin really well.

♥ It is really affordable.

♥ It lightens my skin.

What is dislike:

♥ It comes with only one sized which is 100ml-- I hope sooner it will have different sizes. It may be a small one for travel kit and a bigger one to stock at home for daily usage.

If I were to bring Moringa-02 products with me -- I would bring it with me in Hundred Islands Alaminos, Pangasinan. We all know that our problem during summer or having getaways like this --is drying skin, and being unprotected with UV rays so we have to bring great products with us-- which is Moringa-O2. Additionally, Moringa-02 products reduces itchiness which can be caused by allergies, insects that we could get with any places.

Why in Hundred Islands?

Because Moringa-02 product is like Hundred Islands

Hundred Islands have "different islands in one beautiful scenery" and Moringa-02 products have "different skin benefits in one product".

What can you ask for? If all you need is already in one product.

Thanks to Moringa-02 and Sampleroom for giving a chance to have free samples.

Love,

Jo-An

How did Shen's Addiction Beauty Blog encouraged you to explore beauty?

It has been another year for your blog again, Miss Shen. I am very happy and proud to say that I'd been your follower since the pass 3 years. I am very happy that there's only ONE Filipina blogger that I have known for a long time, and that's only you Miss Shen.

Hi Miss Shen, its me .. janeuarymmiv who have won the Neutrogena products for about 2 years ago. Sadly, I have erased my blog accidentally from blogger.

Actually, I never expect to won by that time~ I am just being honest with my answer for wanting a fairer skin. When I was a child one of my aunt was teasing my mom saying "ang panget panget naman ng anak mo, ang itim itim" and look at my aunt's children today ~ they got darker skin than mine. It must be the so-called 'KARMA'.

My image 2009 (L) and 2012 (R).

It has been a chance for me to experienced Neutrogena's product since as a student that couldn't afford that set at once and because of you Miss Shen and your lovely blog, I had a chance trying it. I am really grateful to be chosen. I was supposed to do a blog post for thanking her but I didn't able to ~and this is my chance to thank her.

Some may not also know that Miss Shen do have a youtube account . I am really jealous with the confidence she has and the courage that I could not even done. I am not really someone who can show off myself on camera and speak for myself.

For my answer with her Anniversary question  "How did Shen's Addiction Beauty Blog encouraged you to explore beauty?"

Well, Shen's addiction Beauty blog allows me to know more beauty products that may work for Miss Shen that may also work for me such as Neutrogena product, garnier and majorica products. I know not all product may work well with me, but it's really a great help that we do have Shen's addiction Beauty Blog that is sharing helpful information if ever we wanted to try some new product. And also having a chance to experience Neutrogena that was a great chance for me to try something new for my skin. I have gained more confidence having a fairer looking skin. I cannot only say that it was only from Neutrogena's help but it takes a couple of trial and error~ what really suited my skin. So if there's a review for a certain product from this blog, it doesn't only gives us information but also it saves money our for trying some product.

Not only that, this blog also share new information for beauty treatment such as powerpeel that I also tried ~ I was really satisfied with the results and great trends for hair treatments. How I wish I could also afford most of it but still~ it doesn't only need cash but also COURAGE to try something new. Some may be really afraid, but having someone like Miss Shen who show off herself, her beauty and confidence takes really a big courage from within. Aside from that, it's not only about beauty but also having the heart that is full of  joy that can make someone's day (like mine) and a life to share  for each one of us.

Thanks for having you in the blogsphere and as a source of beauty information.

Courage + Confidence + Time + Money + Love + Blog + Ms.Shen

equals

Shen's addiction

You have it all there from your blog Ms Shen and thanks for giving a part of your life for it.

Happy 4th year anniversary!

There may be a lot of beauty blogs that I know but as a Filipina~ I am grateful that we have a blog like Shen's addiction. Congratulations ! Keep everyone inspired. And more years to come :)

Hair rebond @TonyandJackey (Fairview)

@ Tony and Jackey (SM Fairview Branch)

I decided to have hair rebond package(Korean rebond) for P3000.00 at Tony and Jackey Salon. It was about 4hrs process, I think around 5pm till 9pm. I really love the ambiance in this salon, and everyone seems to be friendly and courteous to their costumers. I noticed that all employees will say thank you when you were leaving to their salon. It's the first salon I ever visited that has their locker for their costumers, to put your things while you're in their salon. So here's the result of my hair after...

Result after the rebond process...

plus treatments from the rebond package.

As of July 30, 2010

Next Day :) where I cannot washed yet my hair.

I didnt washed it for 3 days.

As of July 31, 2010

My hair as of August 05, 2010

Well, after the rebond process my hair became smoother, unlike before which was so dry. Until now, I haven't shampooed my hair, but I make sure that I still washed it well, and I used Hair Spa thrice a week, plus conditioner. Still have to take care for it, so the rebonded hair will last for a year.

My Ratings: 7 out of 10

Summer almost ended..

A view from CABALATIAN islands, Pangasinan..

A wonderful place, I ever visited.. I never knew there's something like this from our province. Just from Uyong, Labrador seashore we ride a boat where we paid Php 500.00 going to these wonderful island nearby.

The seashore from our town in Uyong was a way different from the seashore of these island. My feet can still feel the smoothness of the sand but on our way going to what they call cave in here, I saw a lot of crushed seashells which hurt my foot. I wondered how these crushed seashells became like that... might be.. dynamite fishing?? oh I don't really know. But hopefully, for 6yrs of new term for this government, I would suggest for conservation of our natural resources. Our descendants might not see the wonder of our own country. That will be really sad. Everyone must take a part of conserving it!

thats all for now:)

Happy Holidays!

My Hair

           Who doesn't like a nice hair?Our hair is said to be the "crowning glory". Well, I got a wavy hair. So, I decided to rebond my hair last February 2009. I prefer FRESHAIRE straightening salon[Sm Fairview Branch, Philippines] cos I already had a hair relax with them last July 2008 and I was really satisfied with the results. It was really satisfying paying them that price. I am a member of their salon. I just show them my SMAC card and paid them P30.00( 0.80 $) for the membership fee. There's a lot of treats you can avail from being a member of FRESHaire CLUB. Really cheap membership but worth it.

           Even summer time April-May 2009 was really disgusting for hair. Summer makes your hair frizzy, dry, and unmanageable. Well, I used Creamsilk Limited edition conditioner during summer and it really works good. So bad I still want it even it's rainy season already here in the Philippines. I also used Sunsilk summer limited edition which in watermelon scent and it really works good with Creamsilk.

       AS of today August 2009, I am still loving my rebonded hair. Where I don't have to used hair straightening iron anymore. I just usually blow dry my hair when I feel it's kindda oily. And then, I am on the go... saves time and energy. But still I have to maintain it. I am using Creamsilk Hair IMG. 02 repair every week, I bought it for about P300(6$) for two from Watsons(it was sale buy one take one) . And  Hortaleza Professional Hair Spa IMG. 01 (P250/5$)to add brown shine effect to my hair which I used every two weeks. Well, on the other hand I also used Shine moist but it's all gone now, I haven't buy yet. It really works good for me also it. Really leaves your hair a nice shine. These are products that really works for me that may work for you as well. 

                                                                        Img. 01

 Img. 02

              Well, I can't find the right Shine moist Image I was talking about in the internet. So I will just post about it when I buy one again. It doesn't need too expensive not all expensive brands will work best for you. I usually do treament at home, more affordable and can be used for more than one time. My creamsilk treatment usually lasts for about 2 months I guess.

              I am not saying my hair was really beautiful, it's on my own opinion only. How bout you guys? What hair product do you love? Are you loving your hair also? 

NOTE: Prices were just estimated. Not exact price. Look for it online or in stores to know more information about it. Questions? Comments? ...

God bless.
