Launched last March 8, which was International Women’s Day, Bobbi Brown’s new book, Pretty Powerful is a book not only filled with helpful makeup tips that empower you to take control of how you look every single day, but it’s also filled with pretty powerful stories of women that I’m sure you can relate to. It’s such a great read, and a great gift for beautiful women in my life. It’s such a beautiful book full of warmth and empowerment that I would recommend every girl, and every woman I know.

Now, with the Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful Campaign with a dedicated Pretty Powerful Stories tab on Bobbi Brown’s Facebook Page, comes a contest that I’m sure you’d find so hard to resist!

Perhaps this must be my most unglamorous photos in my entire life being posted in public, but somehow, I don’t mind. I was surprised at myself with that reaction, with me, having that need to always look good and presentable anywhere. I think I know why I didn’t mind being part of a Dealgrocer ad, with my hair all disheveled, and drenched in hair-killing saltwater, and me sans the makeup and even my eyebrows ( ack!!! diving after one hour erases even the most waterproof eyebrow makeup! ) .

I am happy. Scuba diving makes me really, really happy. Continue reading

Two weeks ago, Sample Room Partner Bloggers were given a treat to an afternoon of beauty pampering, and makeover, courtesy of Shiseido Philippines. We all met up at SM Makati, at their current pop-up store at the ground floor, near the SM Department Store there. We were given a chance to try Shiseido’s newest breakthrough product that promises you that your dark spots will be erased, and what would be left, is only beautiful, even, bright, beautiful skin.

Shiseido White Lucent The Ultimate Whitening Pair works hand in hand, as the Shiseido White Lucent Spot Targeting Serum+ crushes all the hardened melanin on our skin ( our dark spots caused by aging, sun exposure, and even hormones ), and Shiseido White Lucent Power Brightening Mask ejects all the existing crushed melanin.

This is the Shiseido pop-up store at SM Makati. There, they offer free consultation ( no purchase required ), and makeovers and facials with a minimum purchase. There, you can also see Shiseido makeup that you can actually swatch and check for your perfect shade!

It’s the end of my challenge with Kiehl’s! Overall I had a good experience with it, and I’ve definitely seen results.

To sum up my Kiehl’s Midnight Skin Recovery Challenge, here are my notes about it :

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate

The Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate earns goodie points as it made my skin softer, and definitely that brightening effect when I would wake up. I feel that my skin is more hydrated and protected from the A/C when I sleep, so I wake up with good skin. What I am not accustomed with, is the oil base, though. As an oil-phobic gal, I must admit that I do not feel that great when I use oil products. Though this is really good, and I see this so promising with dry skin, and normal skin, I just think I have issues with it being oil-based. I wish they would have a water-based serum. Knowing Kiehl’s, a brand that develops really good skin care products ( I swear with them with all my heart – the Blue Herbal line is just love, ), I would get a water-based serum from them in a heartbeat!

I think that this is Holy Grail material, for those who have no trouble with oil-based products. I see really great potential for this for those who have normal and dry skin, and I have no problems recommending it to my friends who have that skin type! Continue reading

Today, I almost lost my phone. I think I spaced out for a moment and forgot that I left it at a certain place. I mean, during this day and time, once you leave something as important and as valuable as a mobile phone, you immediately deem it gone, right? It might be picked up by someone, and it will never be back in your hands again.

But then, this experience just made me see some things differently.

Just awhile ago, as Tara and were on our way to our next event today, my other phone rang, my sister telling me that I left my phone at Jamba Juice. I was like, “I wasn’t at Jamba Juice?”, but as I checked my bag for my other phone, it wasn’t there. Darnit. This doesn’t happen everyday, and this has never ever happened before, so I was even more disoriented about what happened, but it was just my lucky day that the person who was able to adopt my phone for a few hours was actually a really kind soul. This is what happened –

Apparently, my phone was found inside the restroom just near Jamba Juice. I was trying to backtrack what made me forget my phone – I think I was just applying loose powder in front of the mirror. Apparently, Angela ( the one who found my phone ) found it in the restroom, and told me that it was “just there.” As my phone was locked, but it was on 3g, and I always had that habit posting photos immediately, Angela saw some of the likers of my photos, and tagged them on Instagram :

Whiterlies ( Hannah – thank you dear for being so active in Insta!!!! and for calling Straw! ) is my sister’s close friend from high school, and made the call to my sister, and my sister called me. Tara and I, nearing Shangri-la already, went back to the Fort again to meet Angela. I was actually embarrassed that Angela and her friend were waiting for me to arrive there to hand me my phone. She even asked me for my secret code to verify my identity, which was actually really cool.

I’ve always had preference for long haired styles. ( Gosh I sounded like a guy there. ) I remember someone telling me never to cut my hair short. Well, to be perfectly honest, I looked like an egghead when I had a really short boycut when I was in first year high school. Not the cut’s fault, it was actually my hair’s fault. My hair was just so thick that it poofed up big time.

who can ever forget this scene? Tell me!!!!

My dream…my dream is to earn so much money that I could just buy like two dozens of a product that I really love and just give them away to friends, and share my passion for that beauty product.

Actually, I have made an excuse to do that during Christmas, or at one crazy occasion when I can afford it.

One of the products that I would very much want to share with everyone is the Moringa-02 Malunggay Herbal Lotion. The moment I tried it, it was just perfect for me. The consistency of the lotion was so light that I did not feel greasy or icky with it, and it had the scent of my dreams – green tea! This was just perfect. So perfect, that I was more than happy when the lotion was available for sampling at Sampleroom.ph ( it is still available, why not get one? )
