The year 2008 is drawing to a close. I can’t believe that it’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow! Times like these does make you want to think back to what had transpired in the year that’s ending, yes? I decided to look back at all the products that I had experimented (and shared to you beauties) this year. It’s been quite a year of journey into makeup and skincare (and then some); getting to know my skin better and taking care of it more PLUS exploring makeup further, honing what skills I have as a makeup artist (more on that later!).
Anyway, …read more

I’m quite surprised, really. I know that the blog is over a year old and all but I didn’t realise that I’ve managed to conduct quite a number of Eastern Experiments in just six (6) months! Remarkable! I only started the series December of last year.
I was planning on featuring what I’ve experimented on so far but when I saw just how many they are, I decided to narrow it down to ten of my favourites.
Without further ado, here Top 10 Favourite Eastern Experiments:

Eastern Experiments: Intervene Makeup by Elizabeth Arden

Today I celebrate my first year anniversary here in Beauty Bento Box.
This Asian beauty blog has been around since May 2007 but I only came on board this day last year. Though I’m a fashion blogger by heart, taking on this blog has broadened my horizon.
It allowed me to learn new things as I trekked and immersed myself in the world of beauty blogging. I’ve met wonderful beauty bloggers and have had great fortune in interacting with fabulous readers.
It amazes how people have embraced this blog’s existence and grew to love the effort I’ve put in it. The past …read more

Hi everyone,
I’m sorry for not being around the past week or so. I had to deal with some personal emergency.
I’d like to thank Colleen Coplick from BuzzNetworker for guest posting here at Beauty Bento Box while I was away. I hope she had succeeded in entertaining you cuz I loved reading about her finding her Hair Nirvana, and her wonderful thoughts on The Perfect Mascara.
Anyway, I’m working towards more frequent updates.
Did y’all miss me?

Interestingly enough, Monday night is reserved for another mover and shaker in the shampoo department, at least, in the Philippine market. It’s Pantene Pro-V as they ask the question, “When water is your greatest enemy.. would you dare to get wet?”
Four Asian beauties, crowned as Pantene’s Most Beautiful Women, answer “Yes!” to the question. They will reveal the one reason why they all dare to get wet. Who are these Asian beauties? None other than — Gretchen Baretto, Ruffa Gutierrez, Claudine Baretto, and Judy Ann Santos.
If you’ll be there, say hi.
