Beauty in Full Bloom: Healthy Skin Magazine and Skin Perfection Philippines

According to Kantar WorldPanel, a company that studies the buying behaviour of the local consumers, they have concluded, 72% of Filipino women spend a lot on beauty products.

I admit that I'm one of those 72% Pinays. I've always been fond of beauty-related stuff and that's one of the main reasons why I am in the beauty industry now. I remember when I used to search for articles regarding the latest trends about skin care, makeup, health, and other things related to beauty. I'm sure a lot of Filipino women do this, too. We even have beauty forums where the members share information, their knowledge about beauty, even videos and articles.

Filipina women always look for mediums where they can find information on the latest beauty, wellness, and health and slimming trends available. Healthy Skin Magazine has answered this with conviction.

Makeup Demo at Female Network's First Beauty Con

I am privileged to be given an opportunity to be a part of the first ever Beauty Con of one of the biggest beauty networks, FemaleNetwork.com! When I received an invitation from them to be one of their speakers, I was thrilled! I really couldn't believe my eyes and I immediately felt butterflies in my stomach and just feeling overwhelmed knowing that I'll be on stage talking in front of a big crowd. Excited and nervous at the same time but it was such a great opportunity, so, thank you, Female Network!

The FemaleNetwork Beauty Con happened last November 15, 2015 at the Robinson's Magnolia Atrium. Oh, there's me with my sister/model, Queen B.!

Nature Republic is now in Robinson's Place Manila!

Nature Republic, one of my favorite Korean skin care and cosmetic brands, opened a new store at Level 1, Midtown Wing Robinson's Place Manila. To be honest, I have only tried one of their skin care products which is a facial cleanser (forgot what it is, it was 3 years ago already) because the price range of their products is a little expensive for me. But I love their eyebrow pencils, particularly the retractable pretty tree eyebrow pencil, and their lip stain.

Pink Sugar Cosmetics: The Next Best and Sweetest Thing

When I first heard about Pink Sugar Cosmetics, I was really intrigued and was excited to check their products out since I learned that it is a local brand here in the Philippines. That's why I was so glad to be invited in their makeup launch that took place at Stella Woodfire Bistro a couple of months ago.

Pink Sugar Cosmetics is a local label that is a homegrown makeup brand bound to take space on every Pinay's top shelf. It is a product line that ranges from skin to color cosmetics, quality formulations suited for Filipina skin, and cool packaging that would really attract the eyes of any makeup junkie.

Fall Makeup: Halo Eyes inspired by Batalash Beauty

One of my favorite beauty channels in YouTube is Batalash Beauty because they are so freakin' amazing, gorgeous, funny, and everything!!! Hahaha! I really love them, especially Samanta. I like how neat and perfect she does her makeup and any look suits her especially dark/vampy lips which are kind of my thing as well. Her skills are magical and her personality is just awesome! :)

Event: NEW Céleteque DermoCosmetics Launch

I remember when I was just starting to explore the makeup and skin care world, Céleteque was one of the first skin care brands that I have tried. I learned about it through my sister. She used to use the famous Céleteque moisturizer and I was hearing a lot of positive feedback about it so I gave it a try. It's still one of the best moisturizers for me that is effective and not heavy in the pocket. I have always adored Céleteque Dermo because of its extensive, customized, and expert line of dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and clinically-proven products. That is why I was so thrilled to learn the good news (and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who got excited) that Céleteque Dermo finally have their own line of cosmetics --- Céleteque DermoCosmetics!

My Ellen Adarna Inspired Makeup Look

A few weeks ago, the 9th Star Magic Ball happened. Of course, everyone were excited to see what the celebrities looked like and how they dressed up. The stars were absolutely stunning but Ellen Adarna was the one who really caught my attention.

I love her whole get-up, from wardrobe to makeup! She just looked incredibly gorgeous! So, I decided to recreate her look that night.

Last September 5, 2015, Jergens and Araneta Center partnered for the #GetGlowingWithJergens Skin Care Fair to help ladies achieve and maintain healthy, glowing skin all over their body. 

Yves Rocher New Sérum Végétal! (FREE VOUCHERS)

I recently got an invitation from Yves Rocher to try out their new skin care innovation. I was so excited because I have tried some of their skin care products before from their Sebo Vegetal line and they were great. You can click here for my review on those products.

Yves Rocher's new skin care line is an anti-wrinkles innovation called Sérum Végétal. The main ingredient of this is a powerful plant called the Ice Plant, also known as the life plant. The Ice Plant is able to adapt to extreme conditions and face anything. It is resistant and it survives that's why it's called the life plant. It has natural, anti-wrinkle properties, easily assimilated by the skin. It reactivates the cellular mechanisms that fight wrinkles. Sérum Végétal is suitable for all types of skin and meets the needs of every woman: radiance, firmness, and a lifting effect.
