Made in Korea Designed for Filipinos: Bela Padilla x Aera사랑

 

SM Megamall's Upper Ground and Second Floor was filled to the brim as Korean skin brand Aera launched their collaboration with Actress, Director, Writer, Author, Songwriter and Entrepreneur Bela Padilla. She's best known for her work in films like "100 Tula Para Kay Stella", "Meet Me In St. Gallen", "The Day After Valentines", her work "Yung Libro sa Napanood Ko" and so many more.

This new collaboration with Aera is called Lights, Camera, Cosmos; also under the same people who brought you iWhite Korea products which has been trusted in the Philippine market for over 20 years. Their call is for you to be LIMITLESS in terms of taking care of yourself and not hold back because after all, you deserve it!

What's included in the new products is the Aura Water Sunscreen, Stellar No Oil Face Gel, and the Milky Way Glow Drops Serum. I have personally tried the products before I slept and yes, this can be used by men too. The Aura Water Sunscreen feels different because it's not sticky, almost like water, no white casts so you don't look like a ghost when going out with it. It's got SPF 50 to get you protected from harmful rays of the sun and non greasy. 

Here's our interview with Bela Padilla and some scenes at the SM Megamall event we covered yesterday, so please enjoy!

 

In a hot humid weather like ours in the Philippines, it's something that skin brands should pay attention to and Bela told them about this right at the very beginning. The Stellar No Oil Face Gel (named after her character Stella) gets you "no hulas" feel for over 8 hours. Bela felt the need to have this since she also experiences feeling fresh at home then feel miserable in the heat right when you step outside. She's got you covered, as it mattifies and prevent oiliness, also hydrates your skin. The Milky Way Glow Drops Serum on the other hand finishes things by giving you that certain glow so you feel even more confident as it lasts long. Just like Bela, there's LIMITLESS possibilities you can do with AERA, you can get them in Watsons stores and leading online shopping apps (even on TikTok Shops) so go get them today and take that limitless journey with Bela and Aera!

On Soaps, Shampoos and Shower Gels: Men Should Smell Like Men

You are better than you think you are. No one said it is easy, but we all have to know the difference between grooming products for men and women. Sometimes you just feel we live in a world where people would want to kill us with fluff, flowers and pink stuff, not that it's bad for us but there's a huge difference in our physiological and biological makeup. Our hair might be made with the same things but the daily abuse, use, wear and tear is just on a different level. Our activities are different and if nobody admits we too need special care, that would be a sad life.

I was browsing the grocery of Mercury Drug a couple of days ago with my Mum and Dad and saw these products on the shelf. While they were signing their senior citizen discounts and I bought a couple cans of pineapple juice as I was a bit under the weather (long story) and saw ToppCock on the way to the counter. It's a line specially made for the male form of which the last one I tried was ToppCock Silver on my article here. This time I'm trying the Mint Soap, the Hydromax Invigorating Shampoo (Mint Lavender) and the All In One Shower Gel (which I have tried before).

The Mint Soap was marvelous. It didn't need a promise of 99.9 percent germ removal to make it feel good while in the shower. You feel clean and it smells so good. I like that the mint wasn't too harsh because the last thing that you need when the water from the shower is already cold is also mint to ruin the experience. So it's like hitting two birds with one stone, that's good yeah?!

The Hydromax Invigorating Shampoo on the other hand has Mint and Lavender. If you're a man and want to feel fresh and clean without smelling like a bouquet of flowers when you get out of the shower, you just have to put it in a subtle way. That's what this is. Like the soap, the mint isn't really too harsh either. I think they got this right during production which is a good thing.

I like the Shower Gel. It's like fresh pine. This got emptied in like 3 days because apparently everybody else at home liked it a LOT. It's like those really good perfumes for men mixed with it but I won't tell what brand LOL. Anyway, I think if you're looking for something cool, perhaps keep like a staple in your bath, this would be it. I assure you, it's something you would mistake as something only expensive designers would make. It's affordable too so you know what this means? You should get it too!

Take it in, because I'm sure event the women can relate to that. They wouldn't want the men to use what's designed for women right? That thought alone is beautiful, it means something and it's real. It will feel right because it's proper, and proud!

Again, you should go to the nearest Mercury Drug outlets and get yourself some ToppCock. Be a great example to the men in your age group. Take care of yourself buddy!

New Nivea Men Products for Sensitive Skin

Hi there! I'm John. No, you're not looking at a Gorilla, you're not looking at a Chimpanzee either. That's me growing 2 days worth of facial hair. It's genes, and I grew up having this since I was in college. At first it was actually cool, you learn to live with it. How did that happen? I don't know. To tell you honestly, it calls for a regimen that you need to follow almost every other day... otherwise people will start to suddenly give you bananas randomly out on the streets, wherever you are.

Funny I know, but it's a struggle. You won't look presentable when you need to. It's so fast sometimes that you can't keep up. You need products that would be able to take care of your skin too because underneath all that fur LOL, still is your skin!

These days, you can't just use soap and water when you're shaving. You'll easily get those nicks, cuts and bumps when you don't take this seriously. For sensitive skin, Nivea Men has come out with a line that's got 0% alcohol so you won't get that stinging feeling when you do shave. That's good news for those who hate that burning feeling. We don't need to suffer! The Nivea Men Cooling Shaving Gel has just got the right amount of coldness on the skin, like a winter breeze, soft not harsh.

One rule to keep your skin the way it is right now, is moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. If you don't follow this, you're bound to get your skin damaged, be rough, and you'll look old. You're still young but you'll look like a raisin, we wouldn't want that to happen do we? Nivea Men's Cooling Moisturizer is just going to make you feel refreshed, not sticky, a thing that should have been happening since Day 1. This is new, developed for men, so why not use it instead of ones that are primarily designed for women in general. Makes sense? I thought so.

Before going to bed, never use anything harsh on your skin but remember to always clean it up with newly formulated Nivea Men Face Wash. This isn't soap, so you don't complicate the chemical components of your skin, nor does it dry out. You still have to have natural oils there but not the dirty kind. Don't even think of sleeping with cosmetics on, even powder, it'll just clog your pores and make things worse. Imagine a zit living under your beard or mustache, that will be one painful shave pretty soon.

Now you have something to look forward to when you go shopping at Watsons or retail stores nationwide. Men should have Nivea Men products, sensitive ones included. You deserve to shave and look good right?!

The Importance of Men's Grooming Down There: ToppCock Silver

Filipino men do not realize how much of a big deal hygiene is. There are millions of us living in the Philippines but there are no products specifically to cater to our needs. Well, people have attempted to do that locally but end up only making more female formulated merchandise that does not work for those who really need it, men. It's a little appalling, depressing and shocking why grooming isn't a priority and men might think it's a little taboo to use products like it. I mean why? Don't we deserve to take care of our own thingy?

If you haven't heard, there's ToppCock Silver now in leading drug stores and Mercury Drug branches nationwide. It's an old world solution made with new science so you can make those oh so precious man parts as clean as a whisk. People have used silver for a long time to kill microbes, help treat burns, combat germs, fight bacteria that have even grown resistant to antibiotics. It's anti bacterial and anti fungal properties are completely safe, good and all natural making it the best nano particle odor neutralizer available in the market.

Don't you think ladies actually talk about it in powder rooms or small chats with their friends when you have a problem down there? Exactly. We need to solve that, we need to make sure your name doesn't end up in that conversation... or anybody elses mouth for that matter. It's important to take care of the little guy especially if you're active. We don't want our partners to get turned off when they're already excited right?

Now I'm not the type who just endorses anything without even trying it out myself. So I've been using it for a couple of days now to see how it actually fares. ToppCock comes in 90ML small bottles and this one I used which are 10 ml sachets. It's almost the same size as your ordinary deodorant bottle so it's convenient to carry around in gym bags when you need to. Or if you're going to travel, this would fit snug in your man kits. It's also easy to use because you just need to take a shower, dry and apply. You don't need a lot either and just use enough to cover the area, you don't need to perform a rain dance or any mumbo jumbo for it to take effect because it protects you the moment you put it on. I can tell it even smells like a softer version of Hugo Boss shower gels which I often use. That other one costs an arm and a leg and this one is way affordable, a factor that you may think about when using this on a regular basis. Now, you have no excuse.

If you're also keen on checking out other things from their line, you can try their HYDROMAX shampoo and conditioner that not only cleans and prevents dandruff, but it is designed and formulated for men plus makes your hair moisturized. It smells so good too because they use lemon and sage so you feel and smell so fresh after a great shower. Now you can indulge on those long showers and baths before you go to work. Take a sachet of ToppCock Odor Neutralizer while you're at it and use it after your beast-mode sessions in the gym, or before sexy time. I'm sure your girlfriends will thank you for it, but really don't take my word for it and try getting one in your nearest Mercury Drug store as soon as you finish reading this. Be proper, be proud.
