It was a different experience for me last weekend, for instead of going out with my girlfriends, grabbing dinner or watching a movie, I attended an event for Beautynomics. Of course, how could I pass up when the Belo Medical Group asks you to attend their event? In half a heartbeat, it was a yes!

There’s too much to tell because I believe I had a total blast during this event, but let me break this down :

A week ago, I received an offer from someone to guest blog for Beautynomics , and boy, it wasn’t a girl. It was a boy! ( that sounded so darn redundant, but sadly, that’s how my crazy mind works lately. hahaha! ) . Well, based on my psychoanalysis ( puts on her glasses ), this guy is sooo subconsciously wanting to grab a tube, or a pot of body exfoliator! and moreso, even something for the face! Say, facial wash, facial scrub, and shaving gel? ( Okay, I’m not pushing my luck! )

Read on, and tell me what you think!

But on a long-ago trip to Puerto Galera, I discovered a cheap and easy way to have your back exfoliated. You see, the popular Filipino tourist destination known for its sulit offerings for beach goers features “freelance” massueses who give full-body massages for as low as 250 bucks ( around $ 4-5 usd ).

Cold weather. Very very cold weather.

For the first time, I felt my skin dry. In dire need of hydration and moisture. I guess I can’t escape lotions for ever. It was only yesterday that I could always not opt to use lotions because I just hate the feeling of applying lotions on my skin, specially the rich ones. But looking at my skin now, I think it’s better to withstand a little cream in my skin than feeling roughly textured skin. No way. Looks like I can’t get away from lotions any longer! People do grow old. Sigh.

I was given a chance to try Skintel Hand and Body Lotion. This very minimalist packaged product is one of the products of Skintel, a consumer brand that has been on the shelves for a long time but never had advertisements to back them up. I’ve been hearing about Skintel alot, despite their absence on TV, and I have feedbacks from friends that their anti-acne treatments work. For now, this body lotion seemed very interesting to me because it was what I needed for the moment.

True love only comes once in one’s life. And Kiss My Face is one true love that I’ve never forgotten about!

From the moment I tried their Whenever, Wherever Conditioner, and Exhilaration Body Wash roughly a year ago, I knew this brand was special. Obsessively organic, and most of all, aromatherapeutic ( oh, oh, how I LOVE that term! )

This beauty blog started because of recommendations. My friends would ask me what products they should buy for this and that. I loved doing it so much that I, well, started a beauty blog! ( the perfect excuse just to stay inside the beauty section of the mall, and just stare at those beautiful things ). I was thinking, everyone loves the weekends, specially me, as they are free to go out, play, and most importantly, SHOP! So, as a treat to my readers, I shall be writing a Friday special called Beautynomics Weekend Story. Weekend stories would include product recommendations, reader questions ( please do send them in! ), some random rants and raves, and sneak previews of what products are going to be reviewed in Beautynomics in the coming days.

To start off, I’d like to share my story for the weekend, with Bottles Half Full. These are products that I love, love, love and I use all the time that they are half-full already, and ready for repurchasing soon!

Hi everyone!

In a few hours, I’m off for a plane to Singapore to celebrate Tin’s birthday. Yes, I’d be traveling with the pretty sisters Tin and Diana to the sunny city of Singapore! They said the heat’s insane there so I’ve got my trusty deodorant with me and my nice shorts that is considered alright to be worn there ( whoopee! ) Anyway, for my vanity kit, I’ve been known to be a really, really heavy packer, and well, let me just share to you what I’m bringing for my trip! Take a peek, take a peek!

Dear geniuses behind Earth Therapeutics,

I hope you know that I’m a HUGE fan of your Anti-Stress line. Aside from your very very addicting Anti-Stress Pillow Mist, I think your Anti-Stress Massage Soap is the best smelling soap on earth as it smells heavenly. Yes, I can see the clouds when I bathe with this.

If ever you get to read this, I am hoping you’d come up with fragrances that have the same scent as the Anti-Stress Soap. Anti-stress body mists or fragrances, perhaps?

Boy oh boy, I would want to smell heavenly as well!

One Saturday afternoon, while my classmates and I were checking out bath and body products at the local beauty bar, someone recommended a nice lotion to me, and got the shock of her life when I said, “Oh, I don’t like lotions.” and even asked me to repeat it.

But honestly, I’m not a fan of lotions and I don’t like applying them first thing in the morning - I’d rather apply them during bedtime, but as I see my skin look dry and scaly, I would need a really intense and powerful lotion that would help bring my skin back to life. And I think I’ve found it - it’s the SkinCeuticals AOX Body Treatment.

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! )
