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

What arrived in the mail this morning was an event invite in a gorgeous blue box. What a way to start a day.
What’s inside are three (3) Pantene 3-Minute Miracle Treatment Ampoules plus a sand clock that times exactly 3 minutes. How clever is that?
Pantene claims that they can make miracles happen in our hair in just 3 minutes. And Friday night will be that time for miracles as they, together with the Pantene Council of Stylists, convene with the media and friends to talk about just how Pantene 3-Minute Miracle Treatment works.
Looking forward to a new option for a …read more

Pantene Pro-V
Ice Shine Shampoo
Brilliant, all-day shine can be yours. Pro-V Ice Shine Shampoo gently transforms dull, lifeless hair by removing dirt, oil and styling products. When used as a system with Pro-V Ice Shine Conditioner, you’ll see:
* Hair that’s conditioned and shiny
* Naturally reflective, smooth and shining strands that beam with a healthy look
Having just stepped out of the shower, I’m reminded of the current shampoo I’m experimenting on, which I’d like to share with you beauties. It’s the Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Shampoo. So far, it’s been …read more

While I was sitting in the salon last Tuesday afternoon, they had the telly on and the Pantene TV advert came on. Imagine my surprise when twas Kris Aquino’s voice and face that I heard and saw on the screen. Apparently, Kris is also endorsing the new Pantene Hairfall Control and based on my readings, she’s been part of the Pantene’s Most Beautiful roster since 2006 (correct me if I’m wrong).
I was thrown out-of-the-loop on this one. I really had no idea.
Perhaps it’s due to the fact that my mind was set that the current line-up only includes the …read more

Er, not really. LOL.

Spoof. I actually laughed out loud when I saw this on YouTube. I wonder how the Pantene ladies feel about this. LOL.
I’m thinking we all need a little laugh every now and then. Hope you enjoyed watching Pantene’s Most Beautiful.. er, nevermind. Heh.
Thanks to Irvin for the tip!

The highlight of the Pantene Pro V Dare to Get Wet Event was the presence of the Pantene’s Most Beautiful Women (as seen on the photo, left to right): Ruffa Gutierrez, Judy Ann Santos, Claudine Barretto, and Gretchen Barretto.
Ah, the surreal feeling one would get when they gaze upon celebrities. It’s mystifying. But what I can’t seem to get over is the fact that these women are such gorgeous creatures. Gawd. It’s like describing them as beautiful is just not enough. They’ve managed to stun the crowd for a minute when they stepped on stage before everyone remembered why they …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.

Though not entirely new to the entire blogging scene, I’m still quite new at the whole beauty blogging thing. I still can’t believe the sort of attention “we” get from the beauty industry. From getting offers for product samples to invitations to attend beauty events like the one I attended last night.
I still often ask myself what do I do in these sort of things. Will I really have the chance to get up close and personal with brand managers, product endorsers or even get to sample the product itself? Sadly, the answer to that is no. Not exactly. …read more

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.
