Attended the launch of beauty brand, Mary Kay's new line, Botanical Effects last week at Kai Restaurant located at Greenbelt 5. This was quite an early event for me. It started at 11AM, but I actually liked it, because for sure I can have a productive day ahead by waking up early. :)

The event started with a tea talk with Ms. Nancy Reyes-Lumen. She taught us how to make tea, the plants you can use to make tea and also what tea can do for our body. It was really nice to smell the different plants she had laid out for us, because they had a relaxing effect. One even smelled like chocolate mint!:) 

After our tea talk, we all headed inside Kai restaurant to continue with the other talks.

Behind the success of Philippines' Biggest Loser and Sexy Solutions by Belo is celebrity fitness-nutritionist, Ms. Nadine Tengco and it was nice that we were graced by her presence. She discussed to us what stress can do to our body and how it also affects our eating habits. Like ever wonder how some people who go to the gym constantly but never get thin? We eat a lot when we're stress or how we age so fast due to stress? It was a big eye opener for me, because I tend to sleep really late and I can feel the stress dawning on me sometimes. She also shared different kinds of food/food colors that we should eat to help detoxify.

Here are some of them...

Following Ms. Nadine Tengco's talk was the welcoming remarks of Mary Kay's General Manager, Mr. Tente Alday...

He mentioned that their brand is "Answering the call of going back to nature, simplicity, and freshness amongst all the complicated lifestyles filled with too many product offerings, Mary Kay has come up with an innovative, simple yet customized skin care line that allows every value-conscious and every young consumer to experience the goodness of botanicals perfectly fit to his/her skin's needs." True enough that our lifestyle nowadays is too stressful and we just need something that will help our skin manage all this. Luckily, there's Mary Kay. ;)

Mary Kay's Brand Manager, Ms. Fatima Lopez shared with us a little game of how much stress we are on. Sadly, my skin is rather unhappy. :( Sad. Must improve! After the game, she gave a talk about their new product; Botanical Effects...

She addressed that, "All Mary Kay Botanical Effects skin care formulas contain an exclusive botanical complex with two effective botanical ingredients: Silymarin, a powerful antioxidant used for over 2,000 years that helps defend against environmental damage, while calming and smoothing skin, and Luo Han Guo, and ingredient infused with antioxidants, believed to help promote healthy skin. Because each skin type has its specific characteristics and concerns, the Botanical Effects line goes the extra distance to add another two potential botanical ingredients for each of the three skin types." Simply put, the Botanical Effects line is nature-inspired and helps our skin smile!:)
