Review: Skin station AXI LIGHT

I’ve been receiving bunch of emails and DMs on my Instagram since I purchased AXI LIGHT from Skin station and posted the vouchers on my Instagram page – since I am a blogger I feel obligated to share what I have experienced. Let’s be honest it is really an expensive investment. Plus the readers who messaged me shared there ain’t any reviews online.

PS. Feel free to message me on instagram @krishcatapang if you have more Qs, willing to accommodate.

I had really dark underarms growing up maybe all that fat rubbing for years and trying out products that eventually made my pits look darker. My apologies, I feel ashame of posting my underarms because it is really dark. I hope you guys would understand since it is a private matter and I haven’t quite achieved what I was hoping for because as advised by the dermatologist since my pits are really dark it would take more than 5 sessions maybe on the 8th I’ll see results. By that time the promo was 5 sessions worth 12k, It REALLY LIGHTENED but it needed more sessions to completely get  what I really wanted. It is my ultimate goal to get those PIA WURTZBACH underarms and finally wear a sleeveless top – but I have big arms too.

When people meet me in person, they think I am this confident outgoing girl. Deep inside I’m not but now I am 23, I am slowly starting to accept myself for who I am and like what Kloe Kardashian says “Outer beauty is fixable”. The road to tiis ganda may take awhile but when I am ready I will share it to you guys – with documentations.

FIRST SESSION: The laser was TINGLY but tolerable, its like needles pricking through your skin by thin light. After the session the doctor would recommend creams for you to apply.  Advise, consistently meet the same doctor who did your first session. The session is done every 2 weeks.

As time gets by the procedure gets painful (by the 3rd session it started to hurt), as resolved by one doctor it is because the cream makes my skin more sensitive to the treatment which is normal. So I stopped using the cream as advised. So it highly depends on how sensitive your skin is and talk to the doctor.

When it came to my last session, I saw the difference but I wasn’t satisfied. The doctor recommended mine would take up to more than 8 sessions + for it t be white as I wanted. So now I am saving and waiting for the next promo to come 🙂

I hope this helps guys and If you have experienced the AXI LIGHT – feel free to comment below 🙂

 

Review: Japan IPL Express Philippines

So I’ve been receiving questions from friends and readers about JAPAN IPL. So what is IPL ( I get this question a lot from guy friends) ? IPL stands for Intense pulse light. During the process of hair growth the IPL hits the hair bulb to lessens the hair growth – so that happens.

So I’ve been trying their treatments for months, and here are tips for you. First, DON’T PLUCK the target hair (s) (you may trim it prior ) because the person who will be doing the procedure needs to assess it. Assess on how many shots needed on that area, intervals and if needed. You have to purchase an additional disposal shaver worth PHP 50.


My target areas were my chin and upper lip, How does it feel?  It is NOT PAINFUL, it is HOT (depending on how sensitive the area is) and QUICK LASER SHOT – very tolerable. It is sometimes “NAKAKAGULAT” – in shock at times.

What is nice about JAPAN IPL it is just PHP 40 per shot and it caters to any target area.

If you recommend friends, you get 5 FREE SHOTS! and if you get to visit their branches don’t forget to mention me and my blog! when you fill out the “recommendation part”. Watch out for upcoming promos on their social media pages JAPAN IPL EXPRESS on facebook and @japaniplexpressph on Instagram 🙂 Visit http://www.japaniplexpress.com.ph/ for more information

Yumbassadors Joshua Garcia & Julia Baretto #LanghapSarapYum

Jollibee, the Philippines’ top fast-food chain, welcomes two young and dynamic teen stars to its growing family. Julia Barretto and Joshua Garcia, stars of a recent blockbuster teen romance film, are featured in Jollibee Yum Burger’s latest TV commercial that aired last March 5, 2017.

 The new TVC alludes to a classic 1980’s ad produced by the fast-food chain, which showed just how irresistible Jollibee’s langhap-sarap appeal is, even to foreigners. For decades, Jollibee stayed true to its langhap-sarap claim and ensured that the Yum Burger maintains its 100% beefy, langhap-sarap goodness.

 “We see incredible potential in Julia and Joshua, young millennials who believe in always seeking out the best in everything: in their respective careers, their daily decisions, and of course, their burgers,” said Jollibee AVP for Marketing Kent Mariano. “They embody a generation that won’t settle for anything less than the best and knows that for 100% beefy, langhap-sarap, there’s always the Yum Burger.”

 Coming home

 “I was just so happy,” the young actress shared. “Jollibee was a big part of my career when I was starting out, so this endorsement is like coming home.”

Julia first endorsed the Yum Burger in 2014, which she said was “one of the best choices I’ve made so far.”

Despite being part of a renowned showbiz clan, Julia shares many things in common with other young Filipinos her age growing up. She admits to being a batang-Jollibee, with the brand being around constantly for the most important moments of her life.

“I have so many memories with Jollibee and we always went there as a family,” she shared.

When asked why she loves the Yum Burger (her favorite is the Yum Cheeseburger), the young actress answered: “It’s uniquely delicious and Pinoy. Isang langhap mo pa lang, alam mong sarap agad ang matitikman mo.”

A project worth waiting for

Joshua Garcia, on the other hand, is relatively a newcomer to Philippine showbiz. He was first seen on a long-running TV reality show, where his candid personality and relatable life story resonated among millions of viewers

Like Julia, the 19-year-old actor was emotional upon finding out that he was chosen as an endorser for one of the country’s biggest, most-loved homegrown brands.

“I really prayed and waited for a project like this,” Joshua shared. “I cried when my handler confirmed that my Yum Burger endorsement is a go.”

The Batangas-born actor shared that he missed out on a Jollibee childhood. “I only experienced Jollibee when I started out in showbiz. It was a very memorable experience when I finally walked in a Jollibee store and bought myself a meal that I paid for with my own money.”

“I love the Yum Cheeseburger, too, because it has this kumpletong sarap,” he said. “And I love that it’s made with 100% beef. You can easily smell why it’s the best. Amoy pa lang, ang sarap na.”“We hope that Julia and Joshua will inspire Filipino millennials to continue their pursuit for the best,” concluded Mariano. “On Jollibee’s part, we will continue our efforts to ensure that the Yum Burger will always have that 100% beefy, langhap-sarap goodness, that young Pinoys all over the country love.”

Shawarma Bros – The Different Kind of Shawarma Experience

Indeed, Well on the other side I personally prefer the TURKISH way but I’ve guess it worked on the Pinoy Palette- The Shawarma Bros’s Way. I’ve been hearing quite a buzz about the place. In all favors I never grew up eating  Shawarma rice (You could relate if you grew up in the Middle East) In the middle east Biryani was famous (yellow rice made from masala) but Shawarma rice I guess works here – its a Pinoy thing since Pinoys love rice. Shawarma rice is more of Egyptian, I guess ( I couldn’t find an answer on google and come out a definite answer about the origin) and more adaptable for the Pinoy palette.

Well Shawarma Bros flavors are enticing and a variety of sauces that go with the rice meals – THE BESTSELLER  comes in BEEF, LAMB & CHICKEN (which I personally recommend ) and the pita bread version is TOASTED and the HUMMUS would be my fave. Didn’t finish my pita bread so I got it for take out and reheated it the next day, still good quality (kudos to that).I was so happy their HUMMUS Is affordable at PHP 60.00 compared to the others would cost PHP 100.00 plus.

The vibe of shawarma bros ain’t the Mediterranean nor Arabian hope you’ll be expecting, its more like a friendly Foodpark style/NEW YORK style  but in a restaurant setting. They don’t have SHISHA just to be clear but they have beer BTW

The pricelist is affordable, the meals wouldn’t cost more than PHP 200 plus each, For the shawarma rice cheaper compared to HALAL GUYS and the servings is just right – if you are counting your calories.

I’ll be posting their pricelist here on the blog (CLICK PICTURE FOR FULL PREVIEW)

To sum up my review, its not what I expected personally and something I didn’t grew up with but sometimes different  can be good plus a modern touch to it and its all about the FOOD & FLAVORS for me. The Staff are very accommodating and very chill vibe to eat and dine with friends. I really like the picture wall – very IG worthy.
