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 :

I was called to do makeup for a shoot today, thanks to my very supportive mentor RB Chanco. I had the absolute shock of my life when I entered the dressing room and met the person whom I am doing makeup for - it’s Rovilson Fernandez!

Rovilson Fernandez is one host that I feel will never run out of words because of his very spontaneous nature. I’ve watched him host Ang Pinaka on QTV, and me and my friends have been rooting for him and Marc Nelson to win during their adventure in Amazing Race, Asia. ( and just now, I just knew that guy friends know him because he’s EIC for Maxim? haha! ) Needless to say, I tried to keep my calm and do my job efficiently. For men’s makeup, it was more on bronzers and contouring, and I enjoyed this shoot despite the heat!

This weekend wasn’t ordinary for me. No, I wasn’t out watching movies with girlfriends, I did not go to my weekly dinners, nor did I meet up with anyone. I simply stayed at home sweet home, and reelaxed! Yes, nothing beats some once-in-a-while peace and quiet at home, watching TV, reading books, and listening to the silent music of the night. Clears the mind, I say!

Well, what did I REALLY do? Okay, it still wasn’t an excuse NOT to wear makeup or BE around makeup.

Good thing I have a doll that I could use as my model anytime, my sister Straw, as I fulfilled my dream of transforming a chinita into someone who would channel Kim Kardashian, whose makeup I sooo love! From the prime look that I always aim for her, I went adventurous and tried my Bourjois Ombre Stretch in Black to do the smoky eye! I also had a chance to practice my false eyelash-application skills, and voila! I’m glad I finally did it right!

From the latest Clarins Summer Fever Collection 2008, let me present to you my pick for the best product amongst the items in the collection - the Clarins Summer Fever Sun Sheer Lipsticks, with SPF 15.

At first look, these lipsticks look too small to be well, lipsticks. Standing a little bit above two inches, they pass for the word “cute” and are considered travel-friendly for their size. Let’s open them and see the shades!

I so agree with that. When in doubt, buy it. When you see something that you want in a foreign land, and the deal’s pretty good, don’t think twice anymore because chances are , it’ll take some time before you go back there! So, I went shopping!

During my stay there, the first thing I hunted for are well, beauty products. I was amazed on how much beauty brands are there, and well, let me show you my loot! This is to prove to all my friends who are teasing me that I hoarded cosmetics there that IT IS NOT TRUE! hahaha!

That’s a picture of me and Dee of Chocobay and Beijing Travel Bug, who’s based in Singapore already. What a reunion over at the MRT Station!

…anyways… I’m back!

I’ve had the time of my life in Singapore, thanks to my dear friends who have taken time off their rest days to show us around town! Also thanks to Tin for being the ultimate backpacker that can live in an unknown city even if armed with just a map! ( Woohoo ! ) Anyway, let me tell you about the way I saw Singapore - which is such a beauty addict’s absolute heaven!

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!

For two days straight, I’ve been attending MAC makeup workshops facilitated by MAC Cosmetics‘ Senior Trainer, Erika Saenz. I was able to absorb alot of information and technique from her as she was very generous in sharing tips and tricks on makeup application. I was able to corner her for a few minutes to ask for our readers for Beautynomics, so here they are!

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.

I just love, love summer. Aside from the gorgeous tan that I’d be able to sport, I get to frolic, go out of town and get away from the city! Last weekend was a blast as my bestbuds from college and I went on a roadtrip. With our first top to Tagaytay, as we grabbed lunch at Buon Giorno, we decided to go to Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm as it was just near the place. Twas also an excellent opportunity for me to check out the place that I’ve bought products from via their online store last year.

Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm is located in Silang, Cavite that produces natural and organic products ( yes, no SLS, parabens, and chemicals whatsoever ) ranging from, soaps, body wash, facial scrub, feminine wash, lip balms, to even wood polish! Anything that can be made from the by-products of bees, using the most natural method, for they believe that products are more effective when made using natural methods and not processed at all. They believe that the benefits that keeping honey pure, and unprocessed lets it retain is “healing and nutritive properties.”

Virgin honey, is of course, their number one product!

Here’s a tour of the Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm for those who haven’t visited the place yet, have been buying online, or just want to know more about it!
