I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about Sephora as a store and as a product. But seeing that I live in a country that isn’t lucky enough to carry the brand nor have a store situated (nearest is in China, me thinks), I can only rely on the internet to show me what they’re all raving about.

It’s new. It’s pink. It’s handy. It’s mine! Free, nonetheless!
All thanks to power beauty blogger Sophie Uy, who can be found at Beauty Gizmo, Beautynomics, Kikay Kits, and Vanity Vibe! Moreover, she has her own mineral makeup business, Beauty & Minerals!

Doesn’t matter if you’ve never tried mineral makeup or you’ve been using it for a long time now, Sophie and Christine are inviting us to join them as they celebrate Beauty & Minerals‘ first year!
Let me know if you’ll be there cuz I’ll be! I would love to meet the Manila-based readers of Beauty Bento Box! See you!

Here’s an invite to all you beauties in Manila, courtesy of Beauty and Minerals. This is the third time I’ve received an invite and probably the second time I’ll be attending this event. Sophie of Beautynomics, Kikay Kits and Beauty Gizmo will be doing a makeup application demonstration, showing four great eye makeup looks that’s hot for this season.
