A Brilliant Boracay Summer with Andrea Brillantes, Kyle Echarri and Brilliant Skin Essentials

Boracay was suddenly even more brilliant as Star Magic artists Andrea Brillantes and Kyle Echarri went ashore for Brilliant Skin Essentials summer event. This was hosted by the brand's queen and CEO Ms. Glenda dela Cruz. The event last May 19th also was the perfect time to introduce their newest brand ambassador and some new products which is part of the new line.

Ms. Glenda says "We call this a Brilliant Summer, and honestly, I am overwhelmed by the amount of support we are getting. Thank you all for making this possible. Even if they say that the hot season is over, we're still celebrating summer!"

She's continued to give really great incentives to brand partners and this time, she flew over 300 franchise owners, distributors and guests. They also had Andrea Brillantes and Kyle Echarri entertaining them all in the evening with song and dance numbers. Andrea mentioned "Brilliant Skin has been something I use since I was 15, and I know it's effective." Kyle added "Being with this brand makes me feel like I'm with family, which I'm sure even you would attest to! (and points to the crowd)."

Then they launched their new products particularly Brilliant Sun Professional Sunscreen, Hello Melo Drinks (a drink with collagen and vitamins), and Hyper Hydra Pressed Powder (which is available in different shades).

Andrea was also renewed as their endorser this year. She looked so happy during the event. Later in the evening, they raffled off prizes like Handheld Fans, TCL 55 Inch TV's, iPhone 15 Pro and cash to lucky guests. If you want to know more about their products, just search for @missglenda on social channels as they post all their products there.

What a Brilliant Summer!

Sunshine Cruz is the face of THIOCELL

Celebrity Mom, actress, entrepreneur and supposed vampire Ms. Sunshine Cruz was just announced as the face of the new THIOCELL Lozenges. This is manufactured by Brady Pharma Inc and comes in a lozenge form. This is made by the same people who produced different dermatologic and cosmetic products, and is part of the aurolab group. This new form makes it easy for people to have it carried around, take and absorb better making all its contents beneficial as t contains Selenium (anti oxidant), Vitamins C (for good bones, cartilage, skin and blood), Vitamin D (for reduction of inflammation), and Vitamin E (against aging, arthritis and better eyes). They've spent 7 years of research and clinical trials before releasing this into the market, and Sunshine has personally tried it (not to whiten, but the benefits and nutrients she's getting from it).

During the press conference, Sunshine shared how she's been through a lot of sun exposure because of the nature of her work. She says "I absolutely trust the people behind THIOCELL. I love to sleep and stay at home, but if the work would require me to go to locations, I keep an open mind to take one everyday to make sure I get daily allowances I need. Together with that, I work out, I box a few times a week. I also work on my self, always with self love. If you expect people to love you, you have to love yourself first. I also do facial procedures when I feel the need to. I also have a very simple skincare routine, basically just removing my makeup, cleaning up with soap and water, then moisturizer or non oil based lotion in the especially in the eyes because that's where people see you age. Plus lots of sleep, because if you lack that, you will see it on your skin. My kids probably followed it while they're growing up, they see me take care of my skin when they were growing up. If they have small blemishes, I tell them what to do to take care of it. They're all girls, and I think it's an advantage if their Mom is a little vain. I don't want to see my kids not taking care of their skin."

She also brags that taking THIOCELL is easy because you can do it anywhere, any place, any time. She might have a lot on her bag, but makes sure she has space for it whenever she needs to go out. She also takes it every morning. THIOCELL has done the legwork and spent a lot on R&D so you could take it safe and fast, even at home. Here's the press conference a few days ago:

It's got research to back it up, so if you want it, you can get them today at WATSONS stores, Mercury and various pharmacies/stores nationwide!
