I don’t know if it’s just me, but looking at Piolo Pascual and Marian Rivera already relaxes me. Their sights just relax my mind. Hahaha!

Kidding aside, Blue Water Day Spa, last April 30, 2008, unveiled its new endorsers, the very hunky Piolo Pascual and the seductive siren Marian Rivera. They’re both the hottest TV stars to grace primetime TV nowadays, and well, they are surely the busiest in terms of schedules, considering their endless endorsements! ( If you are a TV fanatic like me, you’ll be so familiar with them you’d think they’re family! haha! )

Did I say that Mac Fafi was just love? *sighs*

Move over GNP, GDP, and even Consumer Price Index! All I need is the lipstick sales of the Estee Lauder Group of Companies, and I shall tell you what the economy’s health is, right here, right now!

Oops, I was just plain kidding. But really, I’m not absolutely joking about it - because from an article I read last week from the New York Times, there is indeed a relationship between lipstick sales and an economy’s health - and it’s inversely related. Beauty companies have noticed that lipstick ( or lipwear - like gloss and lacquers for that matter ) sales had skyrocketed during economic downturns.

Sporting short nails lately!

I’ve been sporting short nails for summer for the reason that I’ve been “roughing it” lately - meaning going to the beach, being all low-maintenance because of the heat, and all that. But that doesn’t mean that my nails won’t get some pampering!

On my nails is one of OPI’s pretty shimmery gray shades called Moon Over Mumbai. It’s described as shimmery gray, but on my hands it seems to look like an almost transluscent white at two coats that glows. The microshimmers are almost unnoticeable unless you take a really close look at it, and with a very glossy topcoat like Poshe, it just looks like a shiny white.

Bronze glow. Earth tones. Azure and purple. Sun-kissed beauty. Lush lips. This is what Urban Heat by Prescriptives is all about. My, my, when I saw the picture, my eyes first checked out on how beautiful the eye makeup is - blue ( azure ) and gold is my favorite combo, and it just matches quite beautifully with bronzer and nude, but luscious looking lips!

Prescriptives’ Urban Heat Collection includes the new Colorscope Lip Gloss, limited edition Kohl Pencils, Colorscope Eye Colors, Colorscope Creamy Eye Colors ( as base ), Here To Stay 24 Hour Longwear, and Colorscope Lipwear.

Last Saturday, my friends and I went on a roadtrip to Tagaytay to do some bonding and relax a little bit from work. After a hearty late lunch ( almost dinner ) at our favorite resto, Buon Giorno, we headed for Sonya’s Garden as bestbud J tells me that they have really good, but affordable massage services there.

It was a rainy, rainy Saturday and I was a bit sad that I could not take pictures because of the weather - gardens all wet, and greens looking all gloomy as night time started to fall. This sign greeted us, as we walked further,

and there was a sign “Sonya’s Sensuous Massage” as we were getting near the spa. It was encouraged to keep quiet and not be too rowdy on the area because it is a place of relaxation.

Two words : SUPER HOT.

The heat has been just simply impossible lately. And I mean it! It’s been just unable to bear, and it’s humid, and it’s sticky! See, even I am getting cranky, just bleeeaaaaym et on the heat! Haha!

The shower in the bathroom just seems to be so appealing everytime I wake up, and everytime I come home from work. I think I’d like to live there, thank you very much!

Anyway, another great body wash that I’ve tried lately is the freebie I got from the Lipton’s Feel Good Event, which is a bottle of The Body Shop Moringa Bath Gel.

For some information about “moringa,”

First used in Ayurvedic medicine some 4,000 years ago, moringa seed oil comes from the moringa tree which is also known as the ‘miracle tree’ due to its wide variety of beneficial uses.

Moringa seed oil was highly treasured by the ancient Roman, Greek and Egyptian civilisations for its use in protecting skin and making perfume. The oil contains high levels of oleic acid, a fatty acid that helps to restore the skin’s moisture levels, helping to protect against drying, keeping skin feeling soft and smooth.

This kind of eye candy, that is.

I just have to say this - I love, love eye makeup. Eyeliner’s just my favorite eye makeup cosmetic because I do it so well without shake, but my biggest frustration is eye makeup itself - the lid part, that is. I love rainbow-ey shades, smouldering smoky eyes, neutral looks, I love them all! But I’m quite slow in the learning process of it, but I really am interested to learn, and learn on how to perfect eye makeup looks because I believe that eye makeup can truly transform someone’s aura - because the eyes are just the windows to one’s soul.

For spring and summer, it’s all cheerful eye makeup that I’ve been looking at. Nice hues of blues, greens, yellows, and even pink! Hence, legendary makeup artist Linda Mason’s new book, Eye Candy: 55 Easy Makeup Looks for Glam Lids and Luscious Lashes.

Finally, my nail polish loot arrived already after a long, long time! Haha!

Just last December, I was intensely longing for vivid and beautiful green shades of nail polish. I’ve been endlessly intrigued by the stunning color of green to be worn on the nails. Michelle of All Lacquered Up Girl has worn them quite beautifully, and after my adventure with blues with China Glaze Aqua Baby, China Glaze For Audrey, and OPI Russian Navy ( such a beautiful color! ), I’m all for greens now!

I couldn’t find greens from OPI and China Glaze that were sold online that catered to my fancy, so I opted for Zoya, that had really beautiful greens that they launched for the 2007 Downtown and Utopia Collection. Take a look at my mini stash!

Last night at the beautiful poolside of the Intercontinental Manila, held the most awaited Pantene’s Dare To Get Wet Event. The event was like no other as Pantene launched their new formulation - water-activated Pro-Vitamin B5 formula that gives 3x less hairfall due to breakage even on wet hair. And we know that the hair strand is most vulnerable when wet. Water maybe our hair’s worst enemy, our “water-loo ( gosh, pun intended )”, but this time, this water-activated formula, our hair will just “go with the flow”, without the threat of getting damaged. Fantastic.

For Beautynomics‘ coverage of the event, I was there together with beauty blogging girls Sasha and Angel, beauty blogging duo Bambi and Liee, and male friends who maybe fancied a glimpse of the Pantene’s Most Beautiful.
