Met Tathione lets you glow this Christmas

Put your best party face forward this season with Met Tathione.

Met Tathione is a dietary supplement with alpha lipoic acid (ALA), the only antioxidant that is both fat and water-soluble and can access all parts of the cell; sodium ascorbate (natural, non-acidic vitamin C); and premium-grade reduced glutathione, the highest grade and safest form of glutathione available.

 This type of glutathione is easily bio-available, which means that it bonds very well with the body’s cells as it releases antioxidants that help reduce your risk of contracting harmful diseases, strengthens liver functions, and slows down the aging process.

The bonus is that premium-grade glutathione also whitens the skin, giving you an evenly light skin tone that you can show off at any party.

Ange Ou Demon Le Secret revealed

Every woman has her own dirty little secret. Some of them just keep it to themselves; some are discovered by other people. It’s really hard to keep a secret, most especially when you know that this certain mystery would intrigue the interest of other people.

This month, Givenchy reveals something very exciting about every woman — Ange Ou Demon Le Secret.

Imagine an angelic face for a demonic eye-contact; Ange Ou Demon Le Secret exhibits a modern and playful woman under its deceiving mask. The secret behind her mystery of seduction includes a floral, fruity, caressing scent. This fascinating revelation includes cranberry, green tea leaves and Italian winter lemon, white peony, sambac jasmine, and water flower. To top it all off, blond wood, white musks, and patchouli complete an eternal mystery waiting to be discovered.

Givenchy is exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corporation and is available at all Rustan’s Department Stores.

Oh my, it’s Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream!

Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream gives women the benefits of firmer skin with a facelift in as fast as four days, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and making skin smoother and plumper for that look of sculpted youth.

This dream cream contains hyaluronic acid, which forms a three-dimensional meshwork on the skin’s surface to draw moisture into individual cells, helping to restore skin turgor with its highest level of amino-peptide complex.

At only P1,299, this sculpting cream proves that the price of beauty does not have to be steep. Last December 5, it went on pre-sale at SM Makati.

Celebrate a new you with Xenical

You stare at your reflection in the mirror and scowl at every single flaw that seems to fight for the spotlight. Like those extra dimples on your thighs that you swear weren’t there yesterday. Or that extra bit of belly you can no longer suck in. Then you think of all that cholesterol lining your insides. After that, you think of fitting all your “curves” into a number of different outfits for assorted events you’re attending this Christmas. So much for the beauty of the season, right?

Fret not. There’s Xenical to help eliminate the three ugly signs of fat: fat deposits, extra inches, and cholesterol build-up. Proven safe and effective, Xenical works its magic from inside. Now, you can project that sexy self and walk into any party full of confidence.
