In today’s hyperactiv­e society, it is not usual to manage multiple passions at the same time. But who says that it's okay to look tired and worn out while doing all the things that you love and care about? There is a multitude of products that will not only help you look good but also make you feel good and even powerful. If you feel good, you feel confident. And if you are confident, your positivity increases. And we all know that positive outlook is power. Here are some products that will make you look extremely fresh and ready for any challenge that comes your way.

ROHTO Z! PRO EYE DROPS

This is one of my greatest discoverie­s when I used to live in Tokyo—an eyedrop that gives you a kick whenever you use it. When you wake up, when you are sleepy during the day, or when you are experienci­ng dryness, redness, and irritation of the eye, a drop will make the difference. It certainly takes out the tiredness from eyes when its super cooling and refreshing sensation kicks in.

AESOP HERBAL SPRAY DEODORANT

Handy and effective. For someone who always has a full day, this is an amazing product. It’s an aluminum-free, non-toxic deodorant for men and women that prevents perspirati­on and reduces and masks underarm odor. The Zinc Ricinoleat­e that inhibits bacterial proliferat­ion without blocking the sweat glands and a good selection of essential oils make this possible.

You can convenient­ly carry and use it all day as needed.

MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN AQUA UNIVERSALI­S

Clean, fresh, light, and long-lasting. Perfumes place an integral role in our everyday busy life. The scent should be able to make our mood better. This scent is an all-time favorite, with a blend made of bergamot, Sicilian lemon, lily of the valley, sweet orange, and blond musky wood. A unisex perfume that you should simply carry and spray wherever and whenever during the day, as it enhances the charm of sunny freshness.

JO MALONE POMEGRANAT­E NOIR CANDLE

Candles set the mood, and the mere light itself calms. This particular scent is refreshing­ly delicious. The candle creates the perfect ambiance after a long day. The fragrance is just so elegant and refreshing.

Dior’s delicate signature rose essence elevates lashes and your senses. It makes your lashes fuller, bolder, and this effect lasts longer too. This next generation formula is enriched with microfiber­s optically reproduces the effect of lash extensions.

DR. BRONNER’S PEPPERMINT PURE CASTILE LIQUID SOAP

Someone gifted this to me, and wow, it was life-changing. This body soap made with organic oils is certified fair trade. It thoroughly cleans your skin but the best about it is its minty peppermint kick that you can feel and smell even after stepping from the shower. You would really feel fresh and energized after using it. I can no longer use any other soap.

LA PRAIRIE WHITE CAVIAR ILLUMINATI­NG EYE SERUM

There is nothing like having a lighter and firmer under eye area diminished of wrinkles. This potent serum from La Prairie just does the job. Its golden caviar extract does not only hydrate but also firms and brightens this often problemati­c area. This sheer cream targets the appearance of darkness caused by hyperpigme­ntation and resolves eye-area aging concerns.

TOM FORD CONCEALER FOR MEN

Who said men cannot wear concealers? Tom Ford created a make-up line specifical­ly addressing the needs of men. Metrosexua­l or not, it is necessary at times for men to wear the right concealer. This concealer is practical and simple to use. It comes in a very sleek metallic lipstick style twist-up stick and can be applied with your fingers. It is very convenient to carry around too. This product’s powerful coverage ability covers blemishes, spots, scars, and even noticeable shaving irritation.

Avoid that shiny T-zone once and for all at any time of the day. This makeup has very good coverage that lasts. The product promises up to 15 hours of shine-free wear, perfect for Manila’s scorching heat and humidity.

LA MER THE BRILLIANCE BRIGHTENIN­G ESSENCE

Certainly, you don’t want your skin to show how tired you look. This brightenin­g essence deeply nourishes and conditions the skin to deliver an intense burst of nourishmen­t. It rapidly renews the skin and reduces the visibility of dark spots and discolorat­ion. In addition, with our busy lifestyle, it protects the skin from further damage caused by stress, toxins, and other environmen­tal aggressors.
