If you live in New York City and are free at all during the day Thursday, July 30th, you must stop by Grand Central Terminal!
It’s so exciting that I may hang around all day. (Well, between the million other things I have to do that day, of course.)
In a nut shell, professional makeup artists will help women identify their perfect lip shades and will offer on-the-spot mini sensational lipcolor makeovers! (At Rite Aid in Grand Central 8-10am, 12-2pm, 3-7pm and also, outside Grand Central from 3-7pm.)
As if a free lip-over wasn’t enough fun, there’ll also be a free live musical …read more

I had a great time earlier this week, visiting a special event held for beauty editors by Women’s Health Magazine, to celebrate their April first-ever beauty flip issue.
There was TONS of interesting features in the issue, that I will cover in this and other posts, but one of the most fun ones was a tribute to beauty’s “next best things” basically the 10 most anticipated beauty launches for 2009
Many of the products on the below list were in my gift bag, so I will probably be writing about them individually as I try them out – but for now, …read more

As I drifted into consciousness, only two words prodded me to actually get up and get ready, “Olay Regenerist”.
I hauled my arse to Makati to attend a video teleconference over at the P&G Office, mainly to get to know this line they’re planning to launch in Manila real soon. Yea, Olay Regenerist finally arrives in Manila. An hour late, fortunately missing all the scientific mumbo-jumbo, I had scrambled to catch up. I did, however, successfully learn as much as I could. I’ll do a bit more research as I tell you more about the Olay Regenerist line. Plus I can’t …read more

So, ok. I got an invite to attend a press launch dubbed as “Luxury at Old Manila”, which will feature the latest beauty treasures from Guerlain and YSL, scheduled tomorrow afternoon; Thursday, 07 August 2008. I have to admit that I’m curious and am sorely tempted to go even just to enjoy the Bizu cocktails. I’m also keen on checking out the makeover sessions that will be handled by top local makeup artists, Irene Sy Go and Mitch Lim Reyes. And the idea of getting a nail massage from Nail Spa!
Sigh.
If only I’m not looking at a huge pile …read more

Part of the programme of the Pantene Dare to Get Wet Event last Monday night, 28 April 2008 was the presentation of their Council of Stylists to the media and the rest of the public. Included are such luminaries in the styling world as (pictured above, left to right) Rose Velasco and Jude Hipolito of Univers Phyto Salon by Kaizen, Jing Monis of Propaganda, Celeste Tuviera of Symmetria, Henri Calayag of Henri Calayag Salon, Louis Kee of Razzle Dazzle, and Victor Ortega of Emphasis.

I have to admit I’m a little bit intrigued about what they’ve got to say. It’s the first time I’ve ever encountered the term, “Organiceutical”, which I know isn’t really a word you can look up in a dictionary. Heh. Asians are indeed known for their unique beauty regimens, I mean, the rest of the world look upon their beauty secrets, all hoping to get an idea on how they’ve managed to have great skin. Is it all because of superstitious, traditional or ancient skincare practices or pure luck? Perhaps it’s the environment? Genes, maybe?
This luncheon will happen on the …read more

Maja Salvador, Marian Rivera, Heart Evangelista @ Sunsilk Life Can’t Wait from The Technographist on Vimeo.
I reckon sharing a short video clip will help you to better visualise what went on during the Sunsilk Life Can’t Wait Event. The three image models Heart Evanglista, Marian Rivera and Maja Salvador stood in front of their respective Sunsilk posters, which are all part of the current campaign of the brand.
Voice in the background is Sam Oh, who was introducing the five Sunsilk ambassadors (a bit on that on a later post).
Thanks to The Technographist for the video (again).

Sam Oh was the host for the Sunsilk Life Can’t Wait Event that I attended a few days ago. While everyone else was busy photographing the three image models (Maja Salvador, Heart Evangelista and Marian Rivera) I found myself standing two feet away from the host, hence, allowing me to take this photo of her.
Isn’t she pretty? Anyway, Sam mentioned that she’s been meaning to update her blog (she failed to mention its URL) but haven’t had the opportunity to do so. Too busy, she said. I wish I had the chance to ask her a bit about beauty stuff. …read more
