Today’s young woman is outspoken, confident, and knowledgeable. She strives to make a statement in everything she does – from social media updates to the clothes she wears, and the cosmetics she uses. With this in mind, Careline has shifted to a bolder and trendier brand image.
“The youths are the main inspiration for Careline’s new brand direction. They are confident in who they are, what they want, and how they want to express themselves,” said Careline brand manager Creole David.
Combining quirky and “everyday wearable,” the new image aims to appeal to everyone. It is both simple and striking with its new boldface logo and colorful packaging. Upcoming products will match the new bold attitude.
“We offer products that are a little different from the usual drugstore make-up brands. They are Better than Basic,” explained David. “And they are very wearable!”
Some of these new products are Go! Mascara in two variants – The Go! Long Mascara to make lashes look long and wispy and the Go! Big Mascara, which has a special brush that packs on product to make lashes extra voluminous; Careline Best Brow Pencil, a retractable brow pencil and spoolie that brushes and tames the brows; and Careline Graph Ink Liner, which has a long flexible felt tip to make lining the eyes quicker.
Another product to look forward to is the Careline Multi Sticks, a multipurpose make-up collection that comes in six pieces:
- Contour Stick, a universal contour that also doubles as an eyeshadow color;
- Brighten Stick, a yellow-toned brightening concealer that can be used as an eyeshadow primer;
- Strobe Stick, a metallic highlighter for the décolletage and shoulders that also looks great as a metallic eyeshadow;
- Blur Stick, a pore-filling primer that works well alone or under foundation; and
- Rose and Peach Sticks, multi-use tints that do wonders for the eyes, cheeks and lips.
Careline has also upgraded its lipstick line. New collections available in the market include the Matte Liquid Lipstick that comes in rich hues like Upper Hand in deep burgundy, Craving in true brown and Dark Matter in a deep, almost black shade.
For the adventurous, Careline offers the Melted Metallic Lipstick with a matte metallic finish. It comes in champagne gold Luster, metallic red Live Wire, and metallic purple Prince.
To spread its Better than Basic message, Careline launched the Girl Gang, led by teen star and endorser Andrea Brillantes. Joining her are Alyana Chapman, Azusa Masu, Megu Demetrio and Regine Lacanienta, the brand’s online model search discoveries. They embody the fun but empowering message Careline wants to share with its youthful market through this video.
With its shift in attitude and a bolder, trendier brand image, teens and make-up fanatics can definitely make a statement with Careline.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. When you’re losing tufts of hair or seeing bald patches on your scalp, it’s but natural to feel the need to do something about it.
Will you tell a friend or go immediately to a doctor? Will you hide the “shame” under the guise of a wig?
While it’s quite hard to decide, there’s no way but people still find themselves falling in line over-the-counter (O.T.C.). And what’s on their hands? Chemical-based hair loss products. Here are some of the reasons why they impulsively buy these items:
- They claim to be effective.
- They say the healing effects are felt quickly.
- They are widely available.
- They appear to be cheaper.
- They claim to be safe.
Sounds tempting, though, be wary enough that once you delve into the nitty-gritty of these products available to allegedly promote hair growth, you’ll see why they may not exactly be a perfect fit. These are some of the negative possibilities when you use chemical treatments:
- Serious side effects like tightness in the chest, difficulty in breathing, rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), and swelling of the hands and feet. These are actually some of the possible side effects of the hair loss drug Minoxidil, which is said to cease hair loss and promote hair growth.
- Most chemical products say they can “treat” alopecia, but reading the fine print will lead you to discover that it actually just slows the progress of hair loss. Little is said as well about these chemical treatments actually promoting hair growth.
- These products or “treatments” usually contain a variety of chemicals that may or may not cause allergic reactions. It pays to check the labels. Some chemical-based products may actually be presenting the side effects as the main effects. Let the internet help you on your personal research.
Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion
There may be safer and effective alternatives out there, but NOVUHAIR is a stand out among the rest. It has 19 natural ingredients—standardized herbal extracts, essential oils and co-factor nutrients that work in synergy and have been clinically proven to help stop the progression of hair loss, aid in stimulating hair growth, and reduce excessive hair shedding.
NOVUHAIR is available in the Philippines at Mercury Drug and other leading drugstores nationwide, Seafood City supermarkets and other Filipino/Asian stores in the USA and online at www.novuhair.us and at BeeOrganic in Kuwait.
International online orders are also possible through regaloservice.com. For more information, you may visit www.novuhair.com or contact hotlines 4136570 and 09228830575.
Don’t make yourself fall as the next victim of the trap. Be smart; choose natural.

You may have completed your vaccinations when you were a child, but do you know that vaccines are not only for kids but for adults, too? Vaccines are among the most cost-effective health interventions available. They help ensure optimum health.
Dr. Nicky Montoya, Medicard President
“Vaccines provide heightened protection against diseases, disabilities, and even death. They prepare the body to fight diseases without exposing the person to the symptoms. Many believe immunizations are for children only. But you are never too old to get vaccinated. Newer vaccines are being developed and booster shots may be necessary to maintain the efficacy of certain vaccines. Vaccination is important especially if you have a chronic disease, are pregnant, sexually active, or if your work requires you to travel to places where you can be exposed to different diseases,” says MediCard president and CEO Dr. Nicky Montoya.
MediCard, a leading HMO provider in the country, debunks some myths on vaccinations:
Myth: Vaccines are for children only.
Fact: Vaccines don’t offer lifetime immunity to diseases; they stimulate antibody production. Almost all vaccines wear off after 5-10 years. Getting vaccinated as an adult is just as important as getting it when you are young because you might be at risk for a new or different disease. The vaccinations you need are determined by factors such as age, lifestyle, health conditions, travel, and previous immunizations. To find out what vaccines you need, consult your doctor.
Myth: Vaccines are ineffective and harmful.
Fact: Vaccines are effective and safe. They go through comprehensive testing before they are approved for general use. They are also continuously monitored for safety and effectiveness. For those who worry that vaccines will cause serious side effects, Dr. Montoya says such cases are very rare. Normal reactions to vaccination include redness, pain, and swelling in the body part where the shot was given.
Myth: Vaccines weaken the immune system.
Fact: Vaccines actually strengthen the immune system and help fight diseases. Vaccines strengthen the immune system by safely introducing an antigen, a substance that triggers the production of antibodies needed to neutralize viruses and bacteria. Vaccines also stimulate defense mechanisms that provide protection against specific diseases. Fears that vaccines can overload the immune system are unfounded because a healthy person’s immune system can recognize and handle thousands of organisms at once.
Myth: Vaccinations are not needed if you live a healthy lifestyle.
Fact: Good hygiene, a balanced diet, and an active lifestyle can help prevent the spread of diseases, but you are still exposed to germs and viruses. This is why getting vaccinated is encouraged, even if you live a healthy lifestyle, as it provides a significant level of protection from diseases. Learn more about vaccinations. MediCard has several free-standing clinics located in key cities nationwide that offer consultations, tests, and vaccinations. Visit a MediCard clinic near you or check out their website at www.medicardphils.com for more information.
