Blog posts of '2018' 'August'

No matter what other people say about the rain giving solace, calm and peace, it also has the annoying power to ruin your makeup. And for those who want to look glammed up no matter the season, this is just unforgivable! So, if you’re tired of touchups because of heavy downpour and wants to enjoy your makeup a bit longer during the rainy season, then read on to know how.

1. Always prime

That moisture in the air caused by the rain is not enough for your skin. So, don’t even think about skipping your moisturizer because that’s exactly what you will need to help your makeup stick to your face a LOT longer. Plus, it will give you that hydration you need underneath all that makeup.

2. Choose waterproof products

This is a no-brainer. I mean, nobody wants to go walking in the rain with makeup smudges all over their face, right? So, invest in waterproof products because these will save your look on days where the rain just can’t stop pouring.

3. Opt for cream-based makeup

During the rainy season, you need the kind of makeup formula that will easily adhere to your skin. That’s why you have to choose cream-based makeup rather than powder, which tends to streak and crease when it becomes damp.

4. Go for tints

Just like cream-based makeup, tints have a way of sticking to the skin no matter how hard the rain gets. Plus, a little goes a long way so, it wouldn’t make your face feel like it has so much product on it.

5. Set it in place

Lastly, use a setting spray to ensure everything will cling to your skin better and longer.  So, don’t skip this step either because it’s just as important in ensuring your makeup survive the rainy season.

Those 5 steps aren’t that hard to follow, right? Especially when you have the right tools to work with. Good thing, we have three makeup products that you can use so your makeup lasts longer during a downpour: our Serum Primers (in Pure Glow and Summer Gold), Silk Serum Foundation, and Velvet Matte Lipstick! These won’t only make your makeup stick to your skin longer but give it the nutrients it needs because they have natural active ingredients that will give you that healthy, glow you’ve always wanted.

So, what are you waiting for? Get to shopping while everything is at 30% OFF!

It's sad when great things have to end. And even worse if they bring so much happiness to a lot of people and even help to those in need. However, some things, no matter how amazing they are, need to end at some point.

With overwhelming heartache, we announce the closing of our three branches in UPTC, Shangri-La Mall, and Rockwell next month. Our stores in these locations have been able to spread the real goodness of the planet through V&M Natural products and were thoroughly enjoyed by many near these areas. Unfortunately, due to unanticipated events, the management had made the inevitable decision to stop operations in the said areas.

But because this is V&M Naturals, those branches won’t be closing its doors quietly! That’s why for their last hurrah, these branches will be on sale from Monday (August 20) with all products at 30% off. Below is the schedule for each branch’s Closing Sale.

So, continue to stay tuned to our social media accounts because we definitely still have so much in stock for you. Thanks for your continued support and we are excited to see you in any of these branches!

Over and over, we have emphasized the importance of skin care, not just in our overall wellness but also to add a little boost to our much-needed confidence. However, skin care is not all about the face, as the skin is the biggest part of the body and all parts of it need to be taken cared of just as much and as often. And this includes our hands, feet, and scalp! What better way to show them some love than using the ever-powerful essential oil Ylang-Ylang.

Just ask local actress KC Concepcion, who swears by this incredible product. In an interview with Preview PH, she shared her secret for getting beautiful skin, hair and nails: the mixture of Ylang-Ylang Oil and Coconut Oil. You may be wondering what exactly makes Ylang-Ylang Essential Oil such a great addition to skin care regimens. Well let the following benefits of this amazing natural product help you understand.

Ylang-Ylang Oil has the ability to: 

Soothe irritated skin
Regulate sebum production
Prevent infections from wounds due to its antiseptic properties
Assist in the healing process
Fight signs of premature aging
Promote hair growth
Make hair silky and shiny
Strengthen hair strands
Moisturize the scalp
Deodorize the skin

All these unbelievable benefits in a small bottle; it can just about replace hundreds of other skin care products out there! So, if you want to experience its spectacular powers, now’s a great time to shop on our website because everything is at 30% off. But if you want to test if for yourself first, you can visit our stores in Glorietta 3 and Ayala 30^th where the sale is also available, only until August 19 (Sunday).

No matter what people say – that no makeup can ever hide any major flaw because inner beauty is still the most important thing – makeup is still a basic form of art that people use to show their creativity and expression. Also, it’s one thing that can give many that boost of confidence they need to face the daunting world. And if it can give that much positivity, why should we judge them when they’re not harming other people, right? That’s what we at V&M Naturals want to give our clients: more confidence. Which is why we are releasing a new makeup line!

Yes! Healthy makeup is now made possible with our five new products.

SILK SERUM FOUNDATION

V&M Naturals’ silicone-free liquid foundations are meant to give a natural, matte finish as they refine the pores. These products have light consistencies that give a good medium to full coverage that lasts for hours. The best thing is they also blend smoothly to the skin. With their feather-weight formulations, it won’t feel like you’re wearing any makeup and it would look more like a second skin!

STAY ROSY TRANSLUCENT POWDER

Give your skin more glow with V&M Naturals’ translucent powder. This will ensure that your makeup sets perfectly for a longer period of time while adding a radiant finish to your skin, all without feeling that you are wearing so many products because of its light consistency. The product also mattifies shine and smoothens pores. And although it does look very white, it is actually translucent, which means it would blend easily to ANY complexion!

SERUM PRIMER

V&M Naturals’ two primer makeups are made to cater to two kinds of skin complexions; fair and tan skin tones. Both of these amazing products either gives the skin more glow or leaves it with a rosy tinge when touched by light. Moreover, the consistencies are smooth and light on the skin, they blend well, and helps foundations give better coverage onto pores and blemishes.

SILK POWDER FOUNDATION

The powder foundations of V&M Naturals apply quickly and evenly, as coverage is buildable depending on preference. These can also be used as a mattifying powder for those with oily skin. Moreover, they have lightweight and breathable formulas so you wouldn’t feel like you’re wearing any makeup, but more like a second skin!

VELVET MATTE LIPSTICK

The lipstick line of V&M Naturals leaves a matte finish but still very hydrating and moisturizing to the lips.

The great thing about our hair is that it’s like a blank canvas, giving us the freedom to give it life in whatever way we want. Some prefer long, straight locks while others get perms for instant styling. Others let it grow up to their calf while some cut it to a bob. And there are also those who dye theirs, bold shades of green.

However, for those who are into basic hues trending for a certain season, then this is the perfect article for you. Here are 4 hair colors everyone is loving this season:

Vibrant Copper

The color red has been in most shows during the New York Fashion Week, making it the biggest color trend for this season. For those who dare to try this shade, make sure to stick to copper undertones and not burgundy, as you should also be prepared to endure long hours at the salon to keep the color fresh.

Chestnut Brown

Chestnut brown is also an obvious choice for this season, a gorgeous brunette with copper undertones. This is perfect for those who want to go red but don’t have much time.

Caramel Ombré

This caramel, melted hue is different from the bold ombré of the past, as it gives a softness and brightness to the face. The shade is perfect for naturally brunette people who want to refresh their color.

Satin Brown

There will be an increase in rich, glossy brown this season (thanks to the Kardashian clan). To achieve this shine, make sure to book glosses with your colorist every two to three weeks for quick revitalization.

So, get started with your hair dyeing adventure while taking great care of your locks!These are just 4 of the many colors you can try for your hair on your next salon appointment and there are still so many options out there you can choose to go crazy with. However, these kinds of treatments may be damaging to your locks. You may want to try our Hair Care line: Lichen + Coffee Shampoo and Conditioner, Voila! Locks Hair Masque, and Hair I Am, Hair Booster for full rejuvenation and protection without having to worry about your color fading.

In this busy and hectic life, where everyone seems to be hurrying and trying to get ahead of deadlines, nothing beats the idea of relaxation. And this word can have so many different meanings depending on what we need and what works for us. Some people go for a swim on blue seas or explore the mountains to reconnect and be one with nature. For others, relaxation is getting pampered from head to toe in a luxurious spa at a beautiful, remote part of the city. While for many of us, it can be all about shopping.

Skin care is such an important part of hygiene and something that all of us shouldn’t overlook. However, everyone can be skeptical about the products they use on their face because of possible irreversible adverse effects they may have on the skin. So, we tend to stick to our routines; which, is not at all a bad idea but we may be missing out on better products that not only give us clearer and more glowing skin but a healthier one as well.

Due to this dilemma, we at V&M Naturals are now giving first-time clients the chance to try our well-loved Pure Actives without having to buy the big 30ml bottle. Because starting today, you can now buy our Miniature Pure Actives without having to buy the entire Miniature Box. Yep, a 10ml bottle of natural goodness for you to give a try and see for yourself how they will work on your skin!

The makeup game has come a very long way. So many changes and upgrades have been made from glossy lipsticks and dewy complexions to everything matte, bold colors to natural tones, and hiding all blemishes with three layers of foundation to putting a bit of freckles across the nose area. Basically, you only needed 3 kinds of makeup before but now, you have a gazillion products to make a masterpiece.

And two steps that have been added to upgrade one’s makeup routine is contouring and highlighting; the former technique is used to create the illusion of flattering bone structure while the latter accentuates areas of the face that are naturally hit by the light. There are so many ways to properly do both but there is one basic thing that everyone needs to know first. That is knowing the correct contour and highlight shade for the skin undertone.

Curious with what your shade may be? Read on.

Determiners for Cool Undertone: 
skin has bluish or rosy tint
veins in the wrists have a blue or purple tinge
silver jewelry looks flattering on the skin
doesn’t tan easily

Contour shade should be cool or gray-toned browns so the makeup blends better with natural complexion.
Highlight shade should be light pink to brighten highpoints of the face.

Determiners for Warm Undertone:
skin has yellow or peach shade
veins in the wrists are of green or olive color
gold jewelry looks flattering on the skin
looks best in red and orange

Contour shade should be cool-toned for better sculpting, especially around the perimeter of the face.
Highlight shade should be light yellow to brighten the center of the face as well as the undereye area.

Determiners for Neutral Undertone:
veins in the wrists are looks blue-green
skin neither has bluish, rosy or golden hue
silver and gold jewelry look flattering on the skin

Contour shade could be cool-toned or gray-browns for a sun-kissed look or a subtle sculpt.
Highlight shade could be warm- or cool-toned highlighters for that bright, radiant finish.

Now, you’re all set to create that youthful, glowing look! Just don’t forget to remove all that makeup (with our Ultra Nourishing Tonic, may I add) before going to bed to avoid bacteria-causing acne to live in those pores.

There is nothing about the world of show business or Hollywood that I know about. Except the fact that I want to be in it but because I can’t, I’m just going to marvel at these actors’ beautiful faces and figure out how they achieve it. And in my search, I found out that some of them use – and actually love – natural oils! Not just for making their skin clearer and more glowing but also to make themselves feel good through aromatherapy.

Here are 5 natural oils that celebrities are raving about.

Argan Oil

Argan Oil, also called ‘liquid gold’, is rich in beneficial nutrients like fatty acids and Vitamin E, which help for skin lightening. It also has antioxidant properties beneficial for healing irritated, cracked, damaged or burnt skin. It even has the ability to soften brittle nails, dry hands and hard skin on the feet. Argan Oil is clearly an amazing natural gift. No wonder, celebrities Khloe Kardashian and Emma Stone are all so in love with this oil!

Rosehip Oil

Want to know the secret that Miranda Kerr, Gwyneth Paltrow and Duchess Kate Middleton share to get radiant skin? These three beautiful women use Rosehip Oil to reap its benefits, as its rich with essential fatty acids that keep the skin hydrated and younger-looking, as they also play a key role in injury repair mechanisms. More importantly, this oil has the ability to improve the appearance of many types of scars. So, if you want a glow fir for a royal, add Rosehip Oil to your regimen!

Lavender Essential Oil

A good night sleep has a lot to do with keeping a clear and healthy skin. And you know what induces such amazing rest? Lavender Oil, what else! It helps in making someone have a deep slumber while calming and toning the nerves when used in aromatherapy, as it also relieves stress. When used topically, it can fight bacteria-causing infection that leads to acne. Now, you no longer have to wonder why Jenna Dewan Tatum and Maria Menounos have such great complexions!

Tea Tree Essential Oil

You may not be aware but celebrities also suffer from acne every now again. Just ask pop star Katy Perry, who has had a long-standing battle with this pesky skin condition. But what made things better is the magic she found in Tea Tree Oil. This essential oil can balance hormone secretions and improve blood circulation during aromatherapy. It also has antioxidant properties beneficial in improving the appearance of scars and blemishes. So, make sure to use Tea Tree Oil for a clearer skin and say Swish, Swish Bish to those annoying pimples forever!

Emu Oil

And last, but definitely not the least, is the well-known and incredible Emu Oil. It is touted to be the best natural product to rejuvenate skin cells for a younger-looking complexion because it contains similar components, like essential fatty acids and Vitamins A and E, found in human skin, making it easy to utilized and absorbed. Knowing this information makes it so much easier to attain radiance possessed by Demi Moore, Cindy Crawford and Catherine Zeta-Jones!
