			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are very few brands that earn my nod when it comes to mascaras. The price is not an assurance that it&#8217;s a good one. The usual problem with mascaras is that they weigh down lashes that have been painstakingly curled, straightening them back. On the premise that I have super straight stubborn lashes,  the only brands that work for me are Maybelline and Cover Girl. Will <strong>Fashion 21 Double Up Mascara</strong> make the cut? Let&#8217;s see.</p>
<p>Fashion 21 Double Up Mascara promises up to 2x longer and stronger lashes in an instant. It comes with the following directions:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3741 aligncenter" title="Fashion 21 Double Up Mascara" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0404-copy.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="326" /></p>
<p>1. Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler, if desired, before using a mascara.<br />
2. Apply mascara starting at the base of your upper eyelashes.<br />
3. Draw the wand gently outward up to the tips.<br />
4. Hold the mascara wand vertically to color your lower lashes.</p>
<p>So how did it go? Let me put it this way, I&#8217;m glad that it was given to me for free. Fashion 21 has great and inexpensive products that I love, such as the 2 way cake and blush, but this Double Up mascara is a big disappointment, at least in my opinion.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3742" title="fashion21 mascara" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/fashion21-mascara.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="335" /></p>
<p>After curling my lashes, I gently applied the mascara as directed. It yielded longer and thicker lashes but it was too heavy that it instantly straightened out the lashes I previously curled. I blinked, and the next thing I knew, it was all over my eye area. The consistency is too damp that it stains the skin, unless you prevent yourself from blinking for a few minutes or face the fan to dry it off. In the end, I noticed my lashes to be thicker and longer, but straighter than usual and pointed downwards.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3743" title="Fashion 21 Double Up Mascara Review" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0453.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="381" /></p>
<p>I hardly use this because I don&#8217;t have the patience to wait for it to dry. On a positive note, I think it can double as an eyeliner because of its rich formula. Still, it will take some time to dry.</p>
<p>Rating: 3/10</p>
<p>Pros:</p>
<ul>
<li>sturdy packaging</li>
<li>no clumps</li>
<li>thick formula</li>
<li>makes the lashes longer and thicker</li>
<li>affordable at Php 225</li>
</ul>
<div>Cons:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>heavy, weighs the lashes down</li>
<li>straightens curled lashes</li>
<li>too damp</li>
<li>takes time to dry</li>
<li>stains skin when you blink</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>Although it didn&#8217;t work for me, note that I have stubborn, straight lashes requiring special needs for mascaras. What might not work for me may perform well for you.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been asked on my recommendations for lipsticks. Mostly, ladies are asking for brands that have long staying power. I can name a few but the hunt for affordable long-lasting lipsticks ends here with the introduction of the <strong>Fanny Serrano Night Light Lipstick</strong>.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3714" title="Fanny Serrano Night Light Lipstick" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0378-copy.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="294" /></p>
<p>What I initially noticed about this product is its gorgeous packaging: sleek black lipstick case that comes with a mirror on the side of the cap and LED light on both sides of the tube, which turns on by pressing the button below. The Fanny Serrano Night Light Lipstick comes handy even when it&#8217;s dark. Whether you&#8217;re inside the movie house, in the car, or out clubbing, the lipstick is like a secret weapon you can launch anytime as the need arises. Doctors can also transform this into a pen light when examining patients during emergencies.If you&#8217;re the creepy type, you can likewise use it to scare off people during brownouts at night.</p>
<p>I was sent the shade in Pink Vodka. It is bright and strong enough to perk up your look but not as tacky as red. It&#8217;s perfect when you&#8217;re on the go and hardly have any makeup on except powder and lipstick. This perky shade makes up for the lack of color on the rest of your face. What&#8217;s interesting about this is when it&#8217;s applied to the skin for swatching, it&#8217; appears faint, but when put on the lips, it transforms the puckers into a bold, seductive arsenal that speaks power. Go easy with the application as the color can be very strong if too much is applied.</p>
<p>I go for lipsticks that don&#8217;t have an annoying scent. I&#8217;m glad that the Fanny Serrano Night Light doesn&#8217;t have this problem. But what I love most about this product is that it lasts long! I can put it in the morning and come home in the afternoon still with it on, albeit lighter after some meals and snacks. This is a lipstick you can trust that you won&#8217;t be looking drab by mid-day just because your lipstick wore off after a few hours. This is best for weddings as the makeup artist won&#8217;t have to worry about the color fading after the bride has eaten lechon from the banquet.</p>
<p>For a smooth application, put on lip moisturizer prior to the lipstick. Otherwise, I noticed it to stick to outer areas of the lips and I have to apply another layer to ensure its even distribution.</p>
<p>As to the dilemma of long last lipsticks that tend to be more drying on the lips by nature, I can&#8217;t really conclude that this has a drying affect as I have dry lips to begin with. For all its worth, at least I didn&#8217;t find my lips to be cracking or more dry than ever.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3715" title="FS  Night Light Lipstick" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/FS-Lipstickcopy.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="420" /></p>
<p>Rating: 8/10</p>
<p>Pros:</p>
<ul>
<li>Long-lasting</li>
<li>Comes with LED lights</li>
<li>Can double as a pen light</li>
<li>Mirror on the side</li>
<li>Sleek packaging</li>
<li>12 colors to choose from</li>
<li>No annoying scent</li>
<li>Affordable at Php 299</li>
</ul>
<div>Cons:</div>
<ul>
<li>Needs lip moisturizer for a more even application</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;ll post the swatches soon in a separate post.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to makeups, I invest on the best ones even if they&#8217;re a little more pricey because sacrificing quality turns out to be more expensive in the long run. The cheaper and poor performing ones usually end up collecting dust because I hardly use them.  However, there are cosmetics that I don&#8217;t mind spending less on, such as eyeliners and  blushes.  There are a couple of local brands for these products that effectively do the job, lessening the need to look for their expensive counterparts. <strong>Fashion 21 Fine Blush Powder (Mineral Based)</strong> may qualify as one of the affordable local brands that does the job well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3697" title="Fashion 21 Fine Blush Powder" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0393.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="318" /></p>
<p>I was sent the <strong>Fashion 21 Fine Blush Powder in #5</strong>.   When I saw its packaging, I doubted that it will make it to my staple of makeups as the brush looked rather stiff. Since it was given to me for review, I had to try it out  and give it a fair chance.</p>
<p>The blush comes in loose powder form that has its own dispensing container with brush.  The powder gets through the holes towards the brush when you tap it downwards.  Sometimes, I have trouble getting the product out so I have to tap it again to be transferred to the brush. This can be a good thing, coz it prevents the too much application of the blush. I love how it fits on my bag and the fact that I don&#8217;t need to bring travel size brushes to put it on.</p>
<p>Upon testing, I was pleasantly surprised that the brush wasn&#8217;t as bad as it looked. I was expecting an itchy, abrasive feel but did not get it. Although not as soft as Suesh brushes, it&#8217;s not stiff either. Just right to get the job done. The container can be opened so washing the brush requires detaching the head from the lower part. <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3698" title="Fashion 21 Fine Blush Powder" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0391.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="360" /></p>
<p>The #5 shade reminded of of merthiolate, but nonetheless pretty when applied. The shimmers are kept to a minimum, so there&#8217;s no worry about ending up with  sparkly or oily cheeks. The shade is peachy pink that&#8217;s subtle on the skin, leaving a fresh and glowing look.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pros:</p>
<ul>
<li>convenient to bring along</li>
<li>fine powder</li>
<li>no break outs</li>
<li>brush is tolerable</li>
<li>has UV protection</li>
<li>distributes evenly</li>
<li>leaves a fresh, glowing appearance</li>
<li>affordable at  Php 155</li>
</ul>
<p>Cons</p>
<ul>
<li>difficult to get the product out</li>
<li>have to detach brush from the lower part of container to wash it</li>
<li>average staying power</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fanny Serrano Cosmetics produces some of the best makeups in the Philippines. That&#8217;s probably due to the fact that the owner, Fanny Serrano is a makeup artist himself who understands the standards of quality cosmetics. Among my personal favorites is their concealer stick, so when I was sent the <strong>Fanny Serrano Long Last Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner</strong>, I got so excited that it was the first one I grabbed from the loot bag.</p>
<p>Does it measure up to our standards? Let me dissect its performance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/FSLiquidliner.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-3671 aligncenter" title="Fanny Serrano Liquid Eyeliner" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/FSLiquidliner.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>When I swiped it at the back of my hand, it gave a rich consistency which stayed even after washing it off. I had to rub it with soap, then apply a Bobbi Brown cleansing oil to totally erase it. Pretty impressive, I thought to myself. But then here lies the problem with waterproof eye products: they can stand water but not oil. The lids have oil glands, and for walking oil mines like me, it can be a problem.</p>
<p>When I lined my lids, as it&#8217;s where it&#8217;s intended to be used, it relatively went well. I tried another brand before that left me with raccoon eyes even before I got out of the house. Smudging did not happen with the Fanny Serrano Long Last Liquid Eyeliner. However, after about 3 hours, I noticed the lines have faded away. It blended with the rest of the eye makeup. No distinct line remained.</p>
<p>At another time, I applied a thin line very close to the lash line and it disappeared more quickly. I decided thicker lines should do the trick. But then after putting on thicker lines, they still faded. I guess it will work on non-oily lids like how it lasted long at the back of my hand.</p>
<p>Liquid eyeliners are generally more difficult to apply than gel forms but the Fanny Serrano Long Last Liquid Eyeliner doesn&#8217;t require makeup artist skills to put it on. The brush evenly distributes the product which dries quickly.</p>
<p>Pros:<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3672" title="Fanny Serrano Liquid Eyeliner" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/FSeyeliner.jpg" alt="" width="234" height="360" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Minimal or no smudging</li>
<li>Waterproof</li>
<li>Dries fast</li>
<li>Rich consistency in one swipe</li>
<li>Easy to use</li>
<li>Applies evenly</li>
<li>Affordable at Php 195</li>
</ul>
<div>Cons:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Fades easily on oily lids</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>Rating: 7/10</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was sent  a loot bag containing local brand makeups from Fashion 21 and Fanny Serrano cosmetics.  I have road tested most of them over the past few weeks and  I decided to launch the first review for the product I like best, so far.  I decided the <strong>Fashion 21 Two-way cake with Papaya Extract</strong> deserves the first spot.</p>
<p>I honestly wasn&#8217;t expecting much from this local brand but the instant that I swiped it on the back of my hands, I went &#8220;whoah!&#8221; for its velvety smooth texture.  For it&#8217;s dirt-cheap price of Php 185, it wasn&#8217;t the result I had in mind. It totally caught me by surprise. The next thing I knew, I was looking forward to using it to work.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0397.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3648" title="Fashion 21 Two-way Cake Foundation" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0397.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>For the first few days of trying it on, I took note that the coverage was moderate to heavy. There were times I would glance at the mirror while driving, and thought to myself that I looked &#8220;made-up.&#8221; I normally wear mineral makeup for foundation because it looks natural and feels light on my skin, so it took some time getting used to a two-way cake foundation on my face. But then this was a good thing for my scar-ridden skin. Fashion 21 Two-way cake smoothened my complexion like miracle although I still needed a few dabs of concealer powder for a perfect finish. It felt light even if the coverage was on the heavy side.</p>

<p>Two way foundations are called as such because they can be either applied as is (dry) or with a damp sponge. The latter yields heavier coverage which can lead to a mask-like effect if not done properly. So far, I haven&#8217;t tried applying it wet although I use it over  liquid foundation.</p>
<p>Apart from the texture that earns my approval, I love its oil-control properties! It&#8217;s been a while since I used a foundation that tamed my  facial oil factory. I work at one clinic in the morning and drive for about half an hour to another one in the afternoon. There are times I hardly have time for touch-ups. Once, I rushed to my afternoon work without applying oil blotting agents or powder and found that my face wasn&#8217;t as oily as expected.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t attest that it won&#8217;t cause breakouts coz I had some zits (mild, not cystic ones that usually terrorize my skin) on my forehead after a few days of using it. The powder has very mild scent. I usually get breakouts when a cosmetic has scent. It can either be  due to the  powder or my crazy hormones and idiosyncratic reactions. I can&#8217;t conclude which caused it.</p>
<p>Papaya supposedly functions to brighten the skin. Indeed, I feel that my skin is brighter whenever I use this. But then it could be due to the shade of the powder that they sent me. It was in shade 2. Fashion 21 Two-Way Cake with Papaya Extract comes in 4 shades, with #1 being the lightest. I think 2 is slightly light for  me although after oxidation (acidic skin that darkens the makeup), it suits just right.</p>
<p>Summing it up, I&#8217;m  highlighting its strong and weak points:</p>
<p><strong>Pros</strong>:<a href="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0403.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3650" title="Fashion 21 Foundation" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_0403.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="378" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>smooth velvety texture</li>
<li>superb oil-control</li>
<li>scent is very mild and not annoying</li>
<li>feels light on the skin</li>
<li>not chalky nor cakey</li>
<li>finely milled powder</li>
<li>UV protection</li>
<li>brightens skin</li>
<li>very affordable: Php185</li>
<li>refills available</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Cons</strong></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>not sure if it causes breakouts</li>
<li>has tendency to look heavy and  unnatural- solution: apply lightly, choose best shade</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>Overall, this product should be included in our &#8220;cheaper but effective makeups&#8221; list.</div>
<div>Rating: 8/10</div>
<div>Fashion 21 Two-Way Cake with Papaya is available for Php 185 only at leading department stores and online through <a href="http://www.weemall.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">Weemall, the Philippine Online Shopping Mall</a>.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In response to the <a href="http://www.vanityclinic.com/2011/10/01/mary-grace-cafe-review/" target="_blank">review I previously made about Mary Grace Cafe</a>, they emailed me  their side of the story.</p>
<p>The first email came from the Mary Grace  Head Manager of Dining Operations. It was followed by a message from the owner&#8217;s daughter who is  also the company&#8217;s Kiosk  Development Manager. Both of them apologized for the bad experience I reported in my previous post.</p>
<p>The first email read as follows:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I am deeply sorry about your unpleasant experience</em> <em>in Mary Grace Trinoma. At around 7:00 this morning, Mary Grace</em><br />
<em> Dimacali, the owner herself called to inform me about your October 1 blog. I</em> <em>checked the net at once and saw your review about Mary Grace. We are so</em> <em>distressed to know that we disappointed you and made you feel unimportant. <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3610" title="marygrace" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/marygrace1-269x300.jpg" alt="" width="269" height="300" /></em></p>
<p><em>We are currently investigating about the concerns you raised: delayed</em><br />
<em> service of Amatriciana, missing cheese roll and our inability to respond to your</em><br />
<em> e-mail. This is definitely not the “Mary Grace way” of taking care of our</em><br />
<em> guests. Emailed feedbacks for the month of September, positive and negative,</em><br />
<em> were forwarded to us and were discussed with the branch managers and the café</em><br />
<em> staffs during our last month&#8217;s meeting. We also make sure that we get back to</em><br />
<em> the senders to thank them. I will investigate why we failed to see your emailed</em><br />
<em> feedback.</em></p>
<p><em>I will get back to you as soon as I have all the details and I am</em><br />
<em> assuring you that this is being taken seriously and constructively.</em><br />
<em> Maraming salamat po for calling our attention. This will surely help us</em><br />
<em> improve. We owe our success to people like you who never failed to remind us of</em><br />
<em> our shortcomings. I pray that you will give us another chance to serve you in</em><br />
<em> the future.</em></p>
<p><em>Please always feel free to email us at</em><br />
<em> marygracefoods@yahoo.com.ph and we hope we will not disappoint you this time.</em><br />
<em> You may also contact me through my contact details below. God bless you</em><br />
<em> amazingly as you continue to bless others with your valuable insights!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Later in the afternoon, she added:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I would like to inform you about the result of our investigation regarding the delayed service of Amatriciana and the missing cheese roll. Trinoma cafe&#8217;s record shows that they had problems with their computer ordering system from September 7 to 12, 2011. Printers and ordering monitors weren&#8217;t working well and were pulled out for repair on Sept.10, 2011. Coordinating with kitchen of what food to serve was done manually. This caused the confusion between the order taker, the dispatcher and the cook.</em></p>
<p><em>I talked to the people involved including the manager who was in charge that time. Necessary actions on how to avoid the same incident when ordering system is down were reviewed and polished.We really hope to be of service to you again.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Ms. Marian, Ms. Mary Grace&#8217;s daughter has this to say:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>&#8220;We came upon your blog just recently. We are very sad to hear of this,</em><br />
<em> and we deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused! Rest assured that</em><br />
<em> we are reviewing SOPs to avoid causing disappointment to other customers!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>We are very grateful for your feedback! Thank you for this! My mom always says</em><br />
<em> that it is has been customer concern that has helped Mary Grace grow through the years.</em><br />
<em> Mary Grace would like to give you a call. May we get your contact information? You may email me</em><br />
<em> back. Have a good day Vanity Specialist! God bless you!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>To Mary Grace Cafe:</strong></p>
<p>Apology accepted. I appreciate that you are taking measures to improve the quality of your service and that you listen to feedback from customers. I did not blog about it to demand special treatment as a customer nor ask for a truckload of cheese rolls to make up for your shortcomings. I just wanted to call your attention to an area of your enterprise which needed improvement after failing to get your response from the email I sent you. This is  because I want Mary Grace Cafe to stay long in the business, and hopefully, be successful enough to put up provincial branches (including one here in Cagayan de Oro) soon. Thank you for keeping an open mind about customers&#8217; comments, whether good or bad.</p>
<p>I will definitely visit one of your branches when I visit Manila again and will report to you my feedback then. I&#8217;m keeping my fingers crossed it will be a good one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It took me almost a month to post this review on Cafe Mary Grace. I had to give it time for a more objective recount of my sad experience in one of their branches, in Trinoma Mall. Had I written about it minutes after it happened, I might have blurted out words that will only compromise the integrity of this blog.</p>
<p>I was in Manila for an intensive 4-day seminar. The schedule was so hectic that I didn&#8217;t even have the time to check out the latest cosmetics in the nearby malls. </p>
<p>On September 9, 2011 (Friday),  my friend and I decided to pass by Cafe Mary Grace on our way back to where we were staying.  I&#8217;ve heard a lot of great things about it, especially its cheese rolls.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3566" title="marygrace" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/marygrace-269x300.jpg" alt="" width="269" height="300" /></p>
<p>Since it was already 8:00 PM, I opted for a take-out of pasta Amatriciana and a cheese roll.  I was considering on bringing a box of cheese rolls home to CDO so I had to try it out first. The cashier told me it would take around 10-15 mins to prepare the pasta. We were already tired but I thought the wait should be worth it.</p>
<p>We got ourselves seated while waiting for my order. Fifteen minutes have passed and my friend was already getting impatient. I followed up the order with one of the waitresses who told me it wasn&#8217;t ready yet.  After a few more minutes, I noticed some pasta being served to people who came much later than us. My friend noticed the waitresses glancing at our table. Finally, someone came to us and checked my receipt. She hurriedly went to the kitchen and came back with my order packed for take-out. More than 30 minutes of waiting for a pasta and cheese roll is a little too much, don&#8217;t you think?  I could have ordered for a pizza delivery at the dorm and it would have been  much quicker. Although it was a Friday, it wasn&#8217;t that busy for Mary Grace Cafe as a lot of their employees had their hands free.</p>
<p>I asked the waitress why it took them so long, she was apologetic about it but did not offer further explanation. When we got to the the place where we were staying, the bread that I believed to be the cheese roll seemed flatter that I thought.  It turns out it was the garlic bread that came free with the Pasta Amatriciana. The cheese roll, although only Php35, was something that I so long wanted to try wasn&#8217;t in the bag!</p>
<p>Partly, it was my fault because I didn&#8217;t check the bag before leaving. The receipt was not even there. Perhaps with the rave reviews about Cafe Mary Grace, I trusted that there staff is trained to be efficient in what they do, such as delivering the order on time,  putting them with the receipt in the bag and checking if they are complete. Apparently, I was wrong. After all, the good reviews have much to do with the taste of the food than the quality of service they offer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3567" title="pasta amatriciana" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/IMG_0350.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="372" /></p>
<p>I think they&#8217;re pretty good with the dine-in clients.  As I have  mentioned, people who came later than us were being served on time, and it looked like they were enjoying their meals. For some reason, they lacked the training in handling to-go orders. Yes, the staff is generally friendly, but  it doesn&#8217;t necessarily translate to efficiency.</p>
<p>The Pasta Amatriciana was a flavorful blend of thick tomato sauce with bacon and chili, plus the Italian meatballs. But with the disappointment I was feeling at that time, I couldn&#8217;t really appreciate the taste. It was pretty decent for its price of Php 210 , but not something I would crave for.  The imaginary cheese rolls must have been good,  if only they came with my order.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3568" title="pastaamatriciana" src="http://www.vanityclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pastaamatriciana.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="373" /></p>
<p>As to the Cafe Mary Grace customer support online,  they don&#8217;t fare well either. I tried sending a complaint about the incident, which was written as courteously as possible, to no avail. Probably the person assigned to check the emails isn&#8217;t doing the job, or they have read my message but they don&#8217;t welcome negative feedback.  Well, they can bask in the positive comments from customers that they proudly display on their tables, but I hope they are aware of the other side of their business that they should do something about. As Jack Canfield puts it, &#8221; you cannot improve your life, your relationships, your game or your performance without feedback.&#8221; I hope Mary Grace Cafe will take this review constructively.</p>

At the core of Tri-Aktiline Total Face is Tri-Aktiline’s super effective, high-tech, exclusive cocktail of three ingredients that help firm and plump skin’s appearance over time. Gatuline® Expression, extracted from the South American Acmella Oleraca plant, helps relax the look of facial tension and expression lines, like crow’s feet. Kombuchka™ PH Extract, derived from sweet black tea, works to plump wrinkles from the inside out to appear smoother   on the surface. Argireline®, or acetyl hexapeptide-3, helps prompt skin into its re-build mode, boosting natural collagen production for long-term visible wrinkle reduction. In addition, Tri-Aktiline Total Face adds the new potent ingredient, PhytoMatrix 100 a mix of proteins, glycoproteins and polysaccharides derived from the soybean that helps counteract the visible effects of biological and UV-induced premature aging providing for smoother, firmer skin with a visible reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. PhytoMatrix 100 helps boost the wrinkle reducing properties of the three-key ingredients, helping the product fight even harder against signs of aging than Tri-Aktiline alone.</p>
