Tony Moly Panda's Dream Complete Collection + Launch

Last week, Tony Moly turned us beauty bloggers and vloggers into Pandas! That's to celebrate with them the launching of their cutest collection, Panda's Dream, consisting of both makeup and skin care!

Etude House Berry Delicious Collection Launch

Etude House are known for having beautiful, girly, and cute packaging. Once you pass by their stores or kiosks, you will surely stop and stare. They even make skin care and cosmetics appear so delicious like their newest collection called Berry Delicious!

The Etude House Berry Delicious was launched in Korea for Spring 2016. Last April 21, 2016, I was invited to their launch here in the Philippines. This limited edition collection by Etude House is inspired by sweet strawberries. Can't you tell? :)

SLEEK MAKEUP NOW IN THE PHILIPPINES!

(Late post)

To those of you who aren't aware yet, Sleek Makeup is finally here in the Philippines! It is one of the makeup brands known to have excellent pigmentation! I remember a few years back, Sleek Makeup was very popular in the beauty blogging community. I wasn't able to try them back then because sadly, they were only available online. And now, they finally launched here in the Philippines! Easier access and at least we get to personally test the products so we won't end up buying the wrong shades.

Banila Co. Launch in PH + Haul!

(Late post)

Korea’s influence over our cosmetics industry has gained considerable momentum through the years — and it promises to grow even bigger. The first wave of the Korean cosmetics invasion brought to the Philippines a plethora of Korean cosmetics brands that focuses mainly on skincare. The Philippines however, stands as the only country in South East Asia where makeup outsells skincare. Despite this, there hasn’t been a brand that can truly stand for Korean makeup until today.

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.

Burt's Bees Daisy White Exclusive Blogger Launch

One of my favorite lip balms would have to be Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. Not all lip balms in the market works but this one is really moisturizing and it is made of natural ingredients so it also gives love and care for your lips. Last May 9, 2014, they launched their newest skin care line which is called Daisy White and I was really excited when I was invited.

The Burt's Bees Daisy White Blogger Launch was held at a very fancy restaurant called Le Jardin at W Fifth Building, Penthouse Floor at BGC. Everything about the event was just so classy and bright.

Here are the complete products from Burt's Bees Daisy White line. These products contain white daisy extract which is known to regulate skin's melanin production that will result in a brighter and more luminous complexion. They have the Daisy White Facial Cleanser, Daisy White Facial Toner, Daisy White Serum, Daisy White Eye Cream, and Daisy White Moisturizing Cream. They all smell so good and I've tried a couple of these products already but more on this in a separate blog. :)

In line with the event's theme, we were asked to wear white. I don't really have a lot of white clothes because I don't like wearing white so here's the closest top that I found in my closet.

While we were waiting for our lunch to be served, we had a mini photo shoot with top photographer, Shaira Luna. We were required to wear a flower crown and we could either make our own or just wear their ready-to-use flower crown. Although there's an instruction card on how to make a flower crown, I decided to just wear the ready-to-wear one because I'm not really good in crafts and stuff like that. Hehe!

They even have hairstylists at the event so we can have our hair styled for the mini photo shoot. Cool! The photos will serve as one of our souvenirs.

I didn't ask for a bonggang hairstyle, I just had the ends of my hair curled. :)

Burt's Bees Lip Gloss samples were also laid out on the table so we could try and use it for the mini shoot. I chose the shade Evening Glow because it's red. I loved it, by the way. It's not sticky and gives just the right amount of sheen on the lips.

Ta-dah! Here's me with the flower crown! Haha! It was my first time to wear one. Bagay ba? ^_^

Here's the very elegant and generous loot that we received from Burt's Bees! That clear case is one-of-a-kind! I now use it as a mini makeup train case. Hihi!

I will share more about these Daisy White products soon. In the meantime, you can visit their website, www.burtsbees.com, or like their Facebook page, Burt's Bees, for more updates and info about their products.

Burt's Bees is available in all Beauty Bar outlets.

Stay awesome and accomplish your mission!

Pretty in Pinkbox Event: Unveiling New Products and the New Face of Pinkbox

I remember when I was still in High School and College, I used to buy accessories from Pinkbox. I love their earrings and though I'm not fond of wearing hair accessories, I always adore their cute headbands and ribbons and I usually buy gifts there for my nieces. I also love that they customize accessories. I actually had two earrings customized for me which are both letter B dangling to stand for my nickname, Bing. I also had a customized phone accessory which spells YUM and as some of you already know, it is my and my boyfriend's term of endearment. :) Until now, whenever I visit the mall and see a Pinkbox store, I just have to go inside and check out their new stuff and cute nothings. They also have cute notebooks and pens which I used to collect when I was younger. To summarize this all, yep, I am a fan of Pinkbox. That's why I was filled with joy and excitement when I was invited by the brand manager of Pinkbox, Ms. Liz Lanuzo, to attend their Pretty in Pinkbox event!

It's "Pinkbox" so I am already expecting a lot of cutesy, pink and girly stuff on the event and too right I am, the venue was just so girly and there's pink and pastel colors everywhere. So Pinkbox! :) The event was held at Zarzuela inside the new wing of Edsa Shangri-la last July 25, 2013.

Look at that adorable table set-up! Everything was dressed in Pinkbox! Haha!

When you take your seat, you'd be greeted with your very own Pinkbox basket of goodies and cupcake! :)

Upon registration, the guests all received a hair elastic with a rose on it. Of course, I chose orange to represent the color of my blog. ;-)

Everyone also enjoyed delicious Filipino food from Zarzuela. My favorite is the grilled puting keso sandwich!

The program was hosted by the bubbly Tita K! Here she is with the Pinkbox owner, Ms. Nelly See, talking about how Pinkbox had started and how it progressed. Who would've known that finding the right accessories for a daughter would turn out to something like this? Now, Pinkbox is one of the top accessory brands with over 40 retail locations offering wide range of one-of-a-kind pieces!

The new look of Pinkbox was also revealed during the event. Pinkbox stores will be revamped soon and we caught a glimpse of what the new Pinkbox stores would look like. It was designed by Heim Interiors and I can't wait to visit their newly designed stores soon. It's just like you're in your own home. :)

Here in this photo is Ms. Liz Lanuzo, talking about the new offers of Pinkbox. They recently came out with handmade accessories and styling services! The thing that really caught my attention was the Pinkbox Kiddie Salon which your little girls can experience on their birthday celebrations and other events! Also designed by Heima, a mobile salon will offer services like hair styling, nail art, and glitter tattoos! Isn't it awesome? :)

Check out these cute and adorable handmade accessories from the Pinkbox Handmade Collection. Prices begin with P59.75 only!

Pinkbox also wants to let everyone know that their accessories are for all ages that's why they also came up with the Li'l Belle Infant Line. Now, even your little babies can look just as stylish and fabulous as you with these artfully crafted headbands and bonnets made with the softest material to guarantee comfort. It's affordable, too! Prices begin with P69.75 only.

And of course, the highlight of the event! Pinkbox unveiled their new brand ambassador and muse and it's no other than Ms. Verniece Enciso! I absolutely agree that she is the perfect face of Pinkbox! She has been a fan of Pinkbox and as what she said, being the ambassador of Pinkbox is a dream come true for her. Congratulations, Verniece! :)

I really enjoyed that afternoon. I was able to be with my blogger friends and got the chance to meet different beauty and fashion bloggers. We even got to take home some goodies! :)

I will post a separate Pinkbox haul very soon. :)
