Wordless Wednesday #87 | Antipolo Weekend.

Ah yes, it's that time of the year again, when we'd celebrate my parents-in-law's wedding anniversary by visiting the Antipolo Cathedral (also known as the National Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage). This year marks their 36th, and here are some photos from the weekend that was.

The in-laws had the newly-acquired van blessed. The grandkids joining in prayer.

After Antipolo, we hied off to Alabang so the kids can play at the mall.

Spotlight | Novuhair 3-in-1 Pack.

Sometime last month, I received the Novuhair® 3-in-1 Pack which contained a bottle of herbal shampoo, herbal conditioner, and topical scalp lotion. I will be featuring all three products today, together with a capsule review. But first, let me give you a quick rundown about the brand.

Novuhair 3-in-1 Pack.

Nature's answer to hair loss.

Introduced in the Philippines by Fanny Serrano, (yes, THE Fanny Serrano, HMUA of the stars) Novuhair® is 'nature's answer to hair loss'. Their products boast of natural herbs, essential oils, and active natural ingredients that are proven safe and can effectively address hair loss problems and other scalp disorders. Novuhair® products are manufactured and distributed by Nutramedica, Inc., a local pharmaceutical company that has been in business since 1998.

Moving forward, here's what's inside the the Novuhair® 3-in-1 Pack.
First up is the Herbal Shampoo, which is made of ingredients that stimulate hair growth and improve blood circulation to the scalp. These include moringa, aloe leaf, panax ginseng, and virgin coconut oil. It also contains rosemary, lavender, and lemongrass oil, which are known for their disinfecting properties that can alleviate itching and help prevent dandruff.

Novuhair Herbal Shampoo.

This shampoo is formulated as such to prepare the scalp for the application of the Topical Lotion. Effects are enhanced when both products are used together, and as a result, your scalp becomes healthier and your hair follicles stronger.

Product description, usage instructions, and ingredients.

The shampoo is a brownish liquid with just the right consistency - not too thick, but not watery either. It lathers quite well, so just a little goes a long way. It has a strong, minty scent that's quite overwhelming. It's not pungent, but it's the kind of scent that sends a jolt to your olfactory senses, if you understand what I mean.

According to the Novuhair® website, you can use this shampoo twice daily to get optimal results. I've been using this product once a day for the past three weeks, and I've noticed the added volume to my hair. At this rate, I think I'll be growing out my pixie cut faster than the usual. Lol.

Looks like caramel, haha. 

The Herbal Conditioner, on the other hand, contains standardized herbal extracts which moisturize the hair to make it softer, shinier, and healthier. It contains sweet almond oil, a moisture-rich oil that contains a variety of vitamins and minerals that nourish the hair to make it stronger. It also contains ginger, which acts as a stimulant for hair growth. Like the herbal shampoo, this product also contains rosemary and lavender, that disinfect the scalp, relieve itching, and help prevent dandruff.

Novuhair Herbal Conditioner.

This product is gentle enough for daily use, and works best when used together with the Herbal Shampoo and Topical Lotion.

Product description, usage instructions, and ingredients.

True to its claim, the Herbal Conditioner does make the hair soft and smooth. It smells a lot like the Herbal Shampoo, though I find the scent of this one milder.

Creamy conditioner. :)

Finally, there's the Topical Scalp Lotion, which is made with a unique combination of herbal extracts, essential oils, plus co-factor ingredients that help reduce hair loss and stimulate hair growth. This product contains Centella asiatica, a perennial herb known for its many health benefits. Also known as Gotu Kola, this herb is traditionally used to treat skin damage and improve circulatory health. This herb is also widely-known for its ability to stimulate skin repair and strengthen hair and nails.

Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion.

There are different ways to use the Topical Scalp Lotion.

1) Apply a liberal amount after using the Herbal Shampoo and Herbal Conditioner. Massage on your scalp for 5-10 minutes. Rinse. 

2) Or you can choose not to rinse afterwards. Instead, you can just leave it on and style your hair as desired.

3) For best results, leave the product on your scalp overnight.

Product description, usage instructions, and ingredients.

I do the second option, since it's more convenient that way. I don't want to spend the entire morning rinsing stuff out of my hair when I have so many things to do, especially now that my son has gone back to school.

Pump bottle.

The Topical Scalp Lotion has a very thin consistency, and looks a lot like Betadine. The olive green color tends to leave a stain, so you have to be extra careful when applying this, especially if you're wearing light-colored clothes. This product also has the same minty scent, which I reckon is the mildest of the three.

Looks a lot like Betadine.

After using this product for three weeks, I've noticed a decrease in my hair fall-out and an improvement in the texture of my hair. I'll continue to use this product for the next couple of weeks and see if I can really grow out this pixie enough to sport a new 'do. Haha!

The Novuhair® 3-in-1 Pack sells for Php 4980, available at all Mercury Drug outlets and Watson's Personal Care Stores nationwide. It's a bit on the pricey side, but since these products work and are true to their claims, at least you know you're getting your money's worth. 

Spotlight | Manomai Around the Clock Facial Serum + Giveaway!

If you're a fitness buff, or someone who keeps tab on the latest trends in dieting, then you've probably heard of the Blood Type Diet. Created by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo, this diet recognizes the 'biochemical uniqueness of each individual and the need to tailor treatments and prescriptions to match that individual variability'.

As such, this diet chooses the appropriate food for your blood type - whether you are an A, B, AB, or O - so that your body can metabolize them easily. Doing so makes your body healthier and makes you lose weight in the process.

This is the same principle behind the Manomai Around the Clock Facial Serum. A Thailand-based skincare brand, Manomai has developed a full range of skincare to suit all skin types, matching all 4 blood groups. Each one is blended by dermatologists from the highest quality ingredients which complement and enhance your skin health.

A gift from Manomai! The box and the ribbon are so pretty!

The name Manomai comes from the Thai words “mano”- mind/spirit, and “mai” – succeed.
"Succeed through mind and spirit” - this sums up the brand's commitment to create an unorthodox approach to beauty, which is based on the one thing that unites us all - our blood.

Love the handwritten note that came with it!

Thanks to Ms. Narissara Kantawong-Mueller, the brand's executive director, I had the chance to experience what Manomai is all about. I received this lovely package sometime last April, which contained a product catalogue and a bottle of the Around the Clock Facial Serum.

Unboxing my gift from Manomai!

As you can see, I'm a Type B. And according to Manomai,  individuals with this kind of blood type usually have shallow, thin, and sensitive skin. That holds true for me. And Manomai created this serum with the sensitive nature of Type B skin in mind.

Type B are the nomads - wild, active, passionate, and love to enjoy life.

The Type B serum contains Shiitake Mushroom Extract, a natural antioxidant which minimizes inflammation whilst protecting and improving the appearance of the skin. It also contains Reishi Mushroom Extract that boosts skin immunity and helps relieve stressed skin, while the Green Tea Extract - with its cell-protecting function - stimulates skin micro-circulation, evens the skin, and improves overall skin health,

Manomai details.

Also found in this facial serum are: edelweiss extract (a high-purity extract from the Swiss alpine flower) blended with willow bark extract with certified organic argan oil, jojoba oil, shea butter and olive oil. These ingredients are natural sources of vitamin E which fight against drying and loss of elasticity (hello, collagen!), promote tissue healing, reduce inflammation, improve skin metabolism, provide sun protection and help prevent premature aging from oxidization.

Cruelty-free!

Aside from using top-quality, vitamin-rich ingredients, Manomai also takes pride in creating products that are dermatologically-tested and cruelty-free. Their serums are free from parabens, mineral oils, and other harmful chemicals.

Love the shape of the bottle. It's made of glass though, so I have to be extra careful.

Directions for use. :)

The serum comes in a cute, egg-shaped pump bottle. The bottle is made of glass, so I have to handle and store it with extra care. The pump dispenses the product easily, and one or two pumps would be enough to cover your entire face and neck. The serum has a fluid texture which allows for easy application and quick absorption. I'm not too keen about the scent, though, as this serum smells a bit like salad dressing to me. I must admit, I found the scent overwhelming at first, but I got used to it eventually.

Pump it!

I've been using this product religiously - day and night - for the past seven weeks, and this serum does work wonders! My skin feels soft and smooth, looks plump and fresh - changes that even my husband didn't fail to notice. My mommy friends at school, too, have been complimenting my skin's healthy glow.

Runny consistency.

The Manomai Around the Clock Serum come in 30 mL bottles, and sell for $80 (around Php3500) each. They can be purchased through the Manomai website, and yes, they ship worldwide.

Now here's the best part of this product review. Five of The Rebel Sweetheart's fans and followers will have the chance to try the Manomai Around the Clock Facial Serum! Yes folks, I'm giving away five bottles of this amazing product! Of course, the serum that each winner will receive will be suited for his/her blood type.

As always, this giveaway will be done via Rafflecopter. All of the mandatory tasks should be completed for your entry to be valid. You earn more entries by doing the optional tasks. Giveaway will run until July 12, as is open worldwide. :)
