Spa Lovin` at Lemongrass Garden , Cambodia



DSC_2719

Majority of our activities during our trip in Cambodia consisted of walking. We walked to the markets, walked around town, walked to temples and back, and walked to restaurants. W.A.L.K. was the daily word. Haha! With all the walking, walking, and walking we did in Angkor, Cambodia, our feet were just torn and tired, pleading for a massage. ( read up my Cambodian adventure here! )

Getting To Know Obagi, The World’s #1 Medical Skin Care Brand!

aimee

When Eileen of Obagi Phils. informed me that they were flying in an Obagi trainor in lieu of Obagi Philippines’ 11th Anniversary in the Philippines, I knew that it was my chance to ask everything I want about one of my most favorite skin care brands! I said yes, in a heartbeat, and even took a leave off work just to have an exclusive with Aimee Demarais!

Well, it was so evident that I was so excited that I was the first one to arrive. With that, I was able to score some one on one time with the lovely Aimee, who gladly answered all of my curious-cat questions!

So, here are some of my notes about what I’ve asked Aimee – these are questions that most of you have in your mind, specially if you know the brand Obagi, or are using it!

My Pilgrimage to the MAC PRO Store in Canada



macgirl

NIRVANA!!!!!! I can cease to exist now that I’ve seen this! Oh wait. I want to go to the one in Toronto! That’s another goal!

…hahahaha! makeup mecca makeup mecca makeup mecca makeup mecca! ( I sound like a retard saying it over and over again, good thing that it’s only in my mind! )

MAC Cosmetics was founded in Toronto, Canada by Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo in 1984. The first U.S MAC store opened in 1991, located at Greenwich Village, New York.[1]
The company’s products were originally designed specifically for professional make-up artists, but are now sold to consumers worldwide.
Estée Lauder Companies acquired controlling interest of MAC in 1994, then completed their acquisition of the company in 1998.

Okay, MAC Cosmetics’ original homeland is in Canada, and with my trip there, who am I not to visit, and pay homage to one of the most popular makeup brands in the world?

Weekend Beauty Getaway : Neutrogena Healthy Summer Skin Event

Last weekend, Neutrogena gave us beauty bloggers a treat by luring us away from the hustles and bustles of the city, to a quiet and luxurious beach destination, at Anvaya Cove, Subic.

The venue of the event was perfect in every way – the beach is the ultimate summer destination, and with that, there are lots of questions on how to protect ourselves from the harmful rays of the sun, and how to enjoy our beach time under the sun!

Present during the event were:

Summer’s Beauty Must Haves, and A Contest!


lovely Phuket. photo by Adrian Teng

Hello my lovelies! I just got home from my first beach trip this year – Phuket, Thailand! I tell you, summer’s just about the best season of the year, as the endless sunshine fills my heart with so much happiness! But of course, one must stay beautiful and fresh all throughout – and here are my beach must-haves this year!

1. Sunblock
But.of.course. Skin cancer, anyone? Besides tan-phobia ( fear of having darker skin because of the sun ) or not, protecting your skin from the sun is just a must. Key products that I love? Avene Spray-on Sunblock ( that feels like nothing at all ), Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock ( that feels oh, so light ), and Colorescience Sunforgettable Brush SPF 30 ( that is excellent for acne prone skin, to be applied on the face. )

Singaporean Beauty Loot : My New MAC Loves

It’s one thing to wear your face bare, and your flatmates couldn’t care much on how you look ( except if something drastic shows up ), but it’s another thing as you go out of the house, do your stuff, as the world is watching you!

Well, as soon as I landed in Singapore, yes, within a few hours , I went to the place I called home – Tang’s, in Orchard Road. I love, love the MAC Cosmetics display there the most. I remember meeting Renee there for the first time, and my goal in my self imposed vacation right now, is to check out all the beauty stops here!

My new MAC loves? Continue reading

Sephora in Singapore: A Beautynomics Report

Okay, girls, as soon as I set foot in the very beautiful country of Singapore where my self-imposed vacation for this year is situated ( I finally reveal, haha! ) , I immediately contacted my beauty blogger friend, also Singapore-based Renee for us to meet there for a stroll. Last year, our meeting place when we first met was at the MAC Cosmetics counter in Tang’s Plaza, and now, our second time to meet, we agreed to just enjoy ourselves in the place where we feel most at ease and absolutely blissful – at the beauty counters, of course!

As we went in the Takashimaya Mall, Renee slowly led me to the Sephora store, and as the sight of the Sephora signage became more and more visible to my eye, I could just feel my breaths getting shorter and my eyes widening. Se-pho-ra!!!!

My Holiday Visit To My Dermatologist, MaMa Lotion, and PCA Skin Peels

I know, I know, I promised to take care of my skin by visiting my dermatologist every month, but with my monstrous schedule during the ber months, it was close to impossible. I’ve been in total agony as I could feel my skin needing that much-needed TLC and cleaning from Dr. Marledi Dizon, but I just couldn’t because I was literally not sleeping from working this Holiday Season.

One thing that helped me through was MaMa Lotion. Remember me raving about it? It’s a micropeeling solution that’s sort of a DIY home peeling lotion, that in my definition, prevents dull skin cells from building up, hence, prevents breakouts from happening. MaMa Lotion definitely, definitely saved my skin from too much dull skin cell buildup-torture, and I was so glad that my breakouts were minimized drastically by using this every other day! After a few months, I finally saw the results from it – absolutely amazing.

My Bangkok Beauty Haul

I promise, I really wasn’t able to shop alot of beauty stuff from Bangkok because of its irresistible bargain prices in the clothes department! Gosh, but then, I could not let a trip pass me by without some beauty shopping! Woohoo!

Over at the Paragon Plaza, guess what I first bought!!! My smile was sooo big that my friends thought I was crazy – A BOBBI BROWN SHIMMERING NUDES EYESHADOW PALETTE! So nice that prices were slashed 10% off for the weekend! I was the happiest gal on earth that day, I swear!

Bangkok : A Beauty Blogger’s Report


goofing around the Grand Palace. Such a lovely place ( such a lovely place )

One thought…and to think I was not looking forward to this trip!

I was dreading to go to Bangkok a few weeks ago because for one, that would mean me not attending the Philippine Blog Awards, and two, I was saving up for something that I did not want to splurge last weekend. Well, the trip with my girlfriends was booked months before, so might as well push with it.

BUT BOY I WAS WRONG! Bangkok made me CRAZY. And I mean CRAZY!
