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 :

Boy, and I’ve never loved field trips this much!

One Saturday afternoon, our makeup class teacher RB Chanco required us to go on a “field trip” to Adora in Greenbelt 5, where Becca Cosmetics is housed. Becca Cosmetics is an Australian luxury cosmetics brand that is known for aiming for really flawless canvasses and au naturelle makeup.

Erin Boncan , makeup artist for Becca Cosmetics was there to give us a demonstration using Becca Cosmetics, as well as give us a trick or two on how to create a great look. I took my chance by standing next to the model, our lovely classmate Leslie, as Erin was doing her magic on Leslie.

Last May 25th marked the opening ceremony of the Philippine Fashion Week 2008, at the SMX Hall 3, Mall of Asia, Manila. The theme of this year’s fashion week, now on its second year, is “Glimpses : A Dawn of a New Decade.” It was my first time to attend Fashion Week, as I was very excited, anticipating, and waiting for Ford Supermodel, and Filipino pride Charo Ronquillo grace the runway!

Aside from my first time to see a runway ( which is going to be the runway for the best in the Philippine Fashion Industry from tomorrow til Tuesday that is, ), I was also able to see beautiful makeup being strutted on the runway. Thanks to Artistry Cosmetics by Amway International, official and exclusive makeup partner for the Philippine Fashion Week, I was able to see Calcarrie models sport beautiful neutrals, softly lined eyes ( I’m guessing they’re pencil-lined ), and washes of green, yellow, and fuschia on the eyelids. Nothing too wild, everything sophisticated and classy. Just the way to start Philippine Fashion Week! I look forward into exploring and checking out Artistry Cosmetics, I’d be posting about it in the coming entries!

First, let’s see some Fashion Week Opening pictures!

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! )

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.

It’s been a known fact that I could spend hours inside a beauty boutique full of products. Whenever I’d feel alone, or sad, and find myself in a mall, I would seek solace not shopping for clothes, shoes, but checking out beauty products.

And it’s been a common knowledge among my friends that my favorite drink would be milk tea. I know, I spent my vacation in Shanghai last year sampling different brands of milk tea ( practically anywhere I could find them, on the streets, inside groceries, etc. ) every single day!

So, The Body Shop -my favorite place for bath products ( ahhh, love. ) + Lipton Milk Tea - the known take-me-home hoards of people who travel to China prior to its release in the Philippines = the ultimate feel good experience. All my mishaps and disappointments for the week ultimately vanished because of my choice to attend this event. I feel that we are the master of our ships, so I just refused to continue my week that has gone awry. I sought some solace and therapy, and I just know where to go for my happy place!

Wake up, wake up! No, this is not me trying to annoy you to get back at work, I am simply trying to incorporate the theme of Revaleskin, “wake up your skin” into this entry.

The Beautynomist and fellow beauty blogger girlfriends recently attended the launch of Stiefel Laboratories’ new breakthrough product, Revaleskin. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be interested when we were offered to learn more about anti-aging? Nobody wants to see wrinkles in their faces. Growing old is fine. Looking old, is another matter.

From the makers of Physiogel, Acneaid, Duoc, Stieprox, and other well-recommended and prescribed dermatological medications by medical practicioners, Stiefel Laboratories has come up with a one-of-a-kind anti-aging skin care system that boasts of its unique ingredient called Coffeeberry, which is a very very powerful antioxidant that is far more potent and effective than Vitamin C, Green Tea, Pomegranate, and even Vitamin E! It is Stiefel Labs’ first and only professional line of “organiceutical, anti-aging product.” and is geared towards aesthetic skin care.

If Sunsilk has launched Madonna, Shakira, and Marilyn Monroe to be the “Life Can’t Wait” campaign symbols of inspiration, locally, we have three of the brightest young stars today to support the campaign, namely, the dance princess Maja Salvador, tv sweetheart Heart Evangelista, and one ( if not the ) of the biggest telenovela stars today, Marian Rivera ( Mariann! read my Marimar moment here. )

Last night was a fun-filled night as Sunsilk unveiled the “revelation” and formally launched the three stars for the campaign, and Beautynomics was there to cover the event, together with my beauty blogging girlfriends! Continue reading
