Still the Best Facial Firming Cream in My Drawer in 2016

I don't write reviews for anything ever, because when I like what I bought it is suffice for me to just leave a 5-stars rating or just keep them to myself. But after trying out Keshima Ultimate Anti-Aging Firming Lotion, I made an exception and wrote a looooong review on the product page just because I was not expecting anything spectacular happening in just couple of days of using this firming cream.

I'm turning 50 years old next week (updated 6/20/2016) and I pretty much wasn't worried of looking old because my mom has really good gene and we aged gracefully lots of people say. But last November, I woke up to a face that was seemed to be out of place!!! Like it was crooked, sagging and fat. My mom even noticed it that morning. I thought, wow, I either have to set an appointment with a plastic surgeon or find a really good facial firming cream. What happened?!?

So I went online and started searching and reading all the reviews of several skin firming lotion or any products that would help in tightening sagging skin. I pretty much dismissed products with tons of reviewers that got them for free or for discounted price. Keshima has several reviewers like that too, so I was really wary in purchasing it. It claims that it can tightens loose and sagging skin; smooth wrinkles and fine lines like every other anti-aging cream in the market. But what really set Keshima Ultimate Anti-Aging Firming Lotion apart from those other skin firming products is that the co-founder, Myriam Maon, communicates with her customers; especially those ones that were not seeing results right away. She would refund the money but encourages them to keep the product and continue using them. So, I took a leap and bought one on a Friday, November 13th.

Keshima Ultimate Anti-Aging Firming Lotion

When I received the product on Monday night (November 16th), I tried it immediately. I saw some changes on Wednesday morning, but I thought maybe I was just imagining things. Then on Thursday (November 19th), which is basically the 3 1/2 day of using the skin firming cream, my mom commented that what I did to my hair made me look really young like I was a teenager -- a mature teenager, that is, she added. My hairdo was just in ponytail which I always do every other day. So I knew instantly that the product was working--my facial skin tightening like I wanted. I didn't tell her anything about Keshima though.

Friday morning (November 20th), I wore a turtle neck blouse which I hated for a while now because my face looked huge whenever I did. But this time, my face looked tight and small and I looked good in a turtle neck again. Mom noticed my young look again and I finally told her about the Keshima Ultimate Anti-Aging Firming Lotion. She got excited and asked me to buy her two bottles! We're now stocking extras just in case they ran out of stock or a zombie apocalypse happens! It's totally worth it!

Mulan: The Best Kind of Cosplay 2016

Mulan and the ugly concubines 2016

After the excitement of our cosplay at FanXperience 2016 of Salt Lake Comic Con being tweeted by Ming-Na Wen, the voice of Mulan died down, my daughter sent me a new link where our photo was yet again shared online as The Best Kind of Cosplay by the 9GAG. It garnered about 26,000+ likes, so again we got excited talking about it at home until that little fame we had faded now too.

It was one fun week, I'd say! I got to experience how it was like to be seen, praised, judged, and scrutinized by people online based on a photo. I wonder how the celebrities function being watched and judged by millions day in and day out.

The Ultimate Cosplay of 2016

After what happened at the con, one of our pictures taken by a professional photographer Bryan Rasmussen, was featured by Salt Lake Comic con and garnered about 6000 likes on just that one page alone.

Ming-Na Wen: The voice of Mulan

Ming-Na Wen is well-known for The Joy Luck Club, Mulan, and recently, as Agent Melinda May in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Having her mentioning our non-professional cosplay group was really surreal. Am I fangirl-ing here or what? Ha ha.
I went back to bed after couple of hours of excitement at home. I woke up still trying to digest the little fame we've had within this two days. I went to work not wanting to be there because I just want to be at home reading the comments being posted on both the SLCC Facebook page and on Ming-Na's Tweeter account.
So during our lunch break, I logged into my Facebook account and read the comments posted and found out that Radisson Salt Lake Airport Hotel mentioned our picture on their Facebook page as one of their favorites! I thought it is so cool to sorta be considered as one of the "faces" that represents SLCC this year. What do you think?
About 4 hours after that, my daughter woke me up from my deep sleep because that picture caught someone else's attention -- Ming-Na Wen's! Yes, the voice of Mulan herself tweeted about our cosplay picture as an ultimate cosplay.

Mulan Cosplay 2016

Before 2012, the word cosplay was very foreign to me. My daughter's friends wanted me to cosplay at an Anime Banzai in Layton, Utah with them and so I did! After that experience, I am always game to cosplay when asked.

Two Mulan cosplay groups in  FanX 2016

So when Salt Lake Comic Con was first held in September 5-7, 2013, I got excited and bought tickets for my daughter, my mom, and I to attend. My daughter and I would cosplay different characters, but never really thought of doing it as a group -- specifically, a family -- until last 2015. My daughter suggested that she, my mom, and I should go as the Fa family, and so we did. I mean, three-generation cosplayers! Heck, we've even brought Cri-Kee with us in grandma's little cage!

Salt Lake Comic Con FanXperience 2016 came last week and we went back as the Fa Family again. But this time we met up with another cosplayer group that we missed to meet last con, the Ugly Concubines. What happened next was beyond our imagination!

Con attendees lined up in front of us and took pictures of our two groups, non-stop. We had to hold our pose for few minutes until the picture-taking subsided. The con's professional photographer took several pictures of us too, and what happened to one of these pictures became the highlight of our week!

March 27th at 7:13 pm, the day after the con, SLCC posted the above picture on their website and garnered over 6000 likes in just that one page. Then around 11:14 pm, this part 2 of our story happened!
