Filipino-Australian Singer Elysa V Moves To Individual Bootcamp Audition On The X Factor UK

Tweet

Elysa V was the only rose among the thorns during the group bootcamp performance at the Sunday’s episode of The X Factor UK. Along with three guys El’Tee, Brad Howard and Sam Black, the group started with the song Locked out of Heaven by Bruno Mars.

Not long after the performance, Simon Cowell raised his hand and made them stop. “This is not working, this is a bad song,” he said. “I’ll tell you what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna judge this acapella,” he added.

When Sam Black struggled to continue with the song, judge Nicole Scherzinger encouraged the group to help him out, and Elysa took the lead in the part of the chorus.

After the song, the judges had a long deliberation on who should move to the next round. It was noticeable that the judges were having a difficult time deciding as it was a hard song.

After the judges’ long conversation among themselves, Louis Walsh talked to the group. “This has been so difficult guys because the song didn’t suit you. Some people were better than the others, but you can see [that] we’ve had a really long conversation about everybody,” he calmly said. “So what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna give you all a chance,” he added.

Upon hearing the good news, Elysa V gleefully jumped out of excitement and rushed to exchange hugs with the rest of the group.

Before everyone left the stage, Simon Cowell shared a few words. “It was partly because of the way you’re all with each other. This is the last pass you get because [as] you go forward tomorrow, it’s your own choices now, there’s no excuses,” he said. “I think you all behaved really well and we’re happy to give you all another shot tomorrow,” he added.

Elysa V and the rest of the group is moving to the individual bootcamp auditions which will define their chance for the Six Chair Challenge.

The X Factor UK airs first and exclusive on RTL CBS Entertainment same day as the UK on Sundays and Mondays at 10:30am with primetime encores Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays at 9:00pm.

Now, a new and special type of face mask will make its way into the Philippines. The Dermairis Mask will bring Korean technologies that achieve glass skin, the K-beauty trend that refers to hydrated, translucent skin.

Just by applying the multitasking Dermairis Mask twice a week for 4 weeks increases the skin’s moisture content by almost 25 percent.

The Dermairis Mask provides a total solution. Each powerhouse mask consists of a high-density and water-soluble sheet, delivers 4-in-1 skin benefits, and uses 10 main ingredients. Just by applying the multitasking Dermairis Mask twice a week for 4 weeks increases the skin’s moisture content by almost 25 percent.

Proprietary technologies

Real science is behind the magic. The Dermairis Mask is developed and manufactured by respected Korean pharmaceutical and cell therapy company JW CreaGene. As a cosmeceutical, it differentiates itself from ordinary face masks because it is a product that marries cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, improving skin function while preventing premature aging. 

The Dermairis Mask stands out even against other cosmeceuticals thanks to JW’s proprietary technologies: the patented JW-EGF (CTP-EGF) and AMF (Artificial Moisturizing Factor). EGF, or Epidermal Growth Factor, is an essential part of skin regeneration. It attracts cells to skin trauma to begin the repair process. JW’s patented CTP technologies can penetrate the skin 5x faster than EGF, making the Dermairis Mask more efficient than the rest.

AMF boasts powerful moisture absorption ability, forming a skin barrier that locks in moisture. This complex nanoparticle structure is not destroyed by time and blocks moisture evaporation for 120 hours. It works more effectively than NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor) found in other face masks, which reduces skin moisture retention.

4-in-1 effects

The Dermairis Mask offers more skin benefits and uses more main ingredients than face masks already in the market. These are the four effects of the Dermairis Mask on the skin and the 10 main ingredients that make them possible:

• Moisturizing

The no. 1 secret to having healthy, young-looking skin is to moisturize. The Dermairis Mask is your key to radiant skin thanks to AMF. AMF absorbs moisture and binds it to create a film coating that blocks moisture from evaporating for up to 120 hours.

The mask also uses hyaluronic acid to attract and retain a large amount of water, and ceramide, which helps hold cells together, leaving you with plump and dewy skin.

• Anti-wrinkle

Wrinkles may be a fact of life, but faster and more efficient skin repair and regeneration is possible with JW’s patented CTP technologies. The patented JW-EGF (CTP-EGF) delivers medicine more efficiently because it penetrates cells 5x faster than EGF used by other face masks.

More restoring and nourishing ingredients, adenosine and acetyl tetrapeptide, boost cell growth and fight visible signs of aging.

• Elasticity

Youthful skin is elastic because of large amounts of natural collagen and elastin. As you grow older, you produce less of those proteins, so skin becomes less supple.

The Dermairis Mask restores skin elasticity with the help of astaxanthin, an anti-aging antioxidant. Another collagen- and elastin-building ingredient is snail secretion filtrate. It repairs damaged tissue, wrinkles, and stretch marks. The mask also uses botanical extracts, which improve skin texture.

• Whitening   

You don’t have to live with aging skin that looks pale and lackluster. The Dermairis Mask carries a vitamin called niacinamide to bring clearer complexion. Niacinamide brightens the skin, evens out skin tone, and fights pigmentation.

The Dermairis Mask will be available at leading beauty and wellness counters, drugstores, and skin clinics nationwide in two sheet variants. The Dermairis Blue variant, which consists of air pockets that contain nutrients, will have a suggested retail price of P70. The Dermairis Pink variant, which uses soft microfiber that is finer than a hair strand, will be offered at an SRP of P150. 

Dermairis will be launched in the country by JW Healthcare Philippines, the local sales subsidiary of JW Group, a leading pharmaceutical company in Korea. 

Its affiliate, JW CreaGene, is increasingly establishing its status as the leading company in the new bio drugs industry in Korea. It holds the rights for the dendritic cell technology used in the development of cancer treatment and drug delivery technology (CTP: Cytoplasmic Transduction Peptide) that can effectively deliver polymer substances to the cells.

It will be available for download on the Google Playstore and the App Store by October 15. 

Since the expansion of its footprint and the deployment of leading edge network technology, the Akamai State of the Internet Connectivity Report revealed that the first quarter of 2017 showed that the Philippines experienced significant improvements in broadband speed and adoption. The country’s average fixed broadband speed increased by 5Mbps or 57% year on year, while the country registered the strongest growth in terms of adoption in Asia Pacific with a 111% growth year on year.

With all these innovations in place, the vision of Globe at Home to connect two million homes by 2020 through high-speed internet and provide affordable world-class entertainment, is well on its way to become a reality.
