I love getting the latest beauty news on my e-mail so I make sure to sign up for many of the beauty brands newsletter via e-mail. When I received an email that Pure Color Envy was launched in the US (I think it was earlier this year), I knew that it's okay to be hit! It's been a while since Estee Lauder has launched a lip product and I had a feeling that it's going to be big! And it is! Many sang praises over the new lipsticks from this iconic beauty brand, thanks to it innovative sculpting and true-to-its-color features.

Take a look at the new collection that will be available on May 15, 2014 at your favorite Estee Lauder counter!

One thing is for sure, I still have a lot to learn when it comes to skincare. There are still things that I miss taking care of despite the fact that my life practically revolves around beauty. And everyday is different and opens you up to new things!

Case in point, my undereyes. There’s only so much you can do when it comes to concealing those baggy and dark under baggies. That much I know. It’s only now that I realize that I've been neglectfulness of it and it’s showing already.

Comparing it to past years , the skin around my eyes looks so much better then. There's my hectic job last year that kept me from being religious with skincare. Then, there's this wonderful things that happened, my pregnancy.. but that got me all lazy to tend to my skin care needs for the first few months. Making my undereyes exposed to damage, pollution and prone to free radicals that speeds up the aging on my skin. Not a good thing especially since I need to be on the top of my game now that I'm about to meet the love of my life, my daughter, Camilla Claudette. :)

So there is no excuse to this laziness, for the past few months, I've trying soooo hard to be more vigilant with my skincare and that includes this discovery from Estee Lauder. :)


Estee Lauder's latest addition to their iconic Advances Night Repair family, is the Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Infusion. Yes! A serum for the eyes!

Moms, they take on a lot and aside from birthdays and Christmas, they don't get so much attention from us. Mother's Day resolves that. A special day just for them. I may not have my mom with me but that doesn't mean I can't celebrate Mother's Day especially when I have friends who've been blessed to become Mommies this year!

I've compiled a few beauty products that I think the dearest moms would love to receive this Mother's Day. A few that I think my own mom would love as well as products that new moms wouldn't mind having. Read below and see what your mom might fancy.

Did I mention that Summer is my favorite season?

But I hate how hot it is this time of the year! I gotta give it to a lot of beauty brands who are making such great products and making the heat a lot more bearable!

  1. Benefit Cosmetics Fake Up Crease Control Hydrating Concealer: Definitely the next big thing that happened to the under eyes. After all, who wouldn't want an undereye concealer that doesn't crease and accentuate the fine lines around your eyes? It's skin care and makeup in one so this is definitely something that you'll love this summer! Say buh-bye to creasing and hello to bright eyes all season long.
  2. BYS Glitter For Nails Polish Kit: OMG! This has got to be my favorite polish this season! Once I tried it, I was hooked. It was launched last week but I got a chance to sample it a week in advance and it's easy to use! It comes with a polish, a pot of cosmetic-grade glitter and a brush. Texture 3D nails are in and BYS just made it more accessible for us to try it. Woot! The best shade this season is Bling it On, it's bright as the noon day sun!
  3. Shu Uemura UV Underbase Mouse with SPF30 PA++: This has been a ultimate favorite of mine since I tried it 3 years ago. If you hate piling on products on your face during Summer, then get this one since it acts as both base and sunblock. it dries into a semi-matte finish. Once topped off with a matte powder, you'll notice how smooth and even your skin's become. I've been using this the past days just so I can skip my foundation and I'm loving the coverage. Expensive, yes. But totally worth it!
  4. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum: The latest innovation from Chez Lauder. It's an amazing addition to your nightly rituals.Sun exposure, pollution and overall unhealthy lifestyle can be bad for the skin. Especially to our eyes. If you've been partying or working too hard and your eye creams can only do so much, try this one out. Use this first before your eye cream and notice a good change in your puffy undereyes.
  5. Snoe Beauty Hair Heroes Super Fresh Texturizing Beach Waves: Snoe's rolling out imrpressive hair products this season and this one I can't resist. I'm loving my beach wave curls and this amazing products helps with maintaining the curl, keep it soft and smooth and at the same the peppermint is totally refreshing! Smell great, easy to take anywhere with me and it's affordable. How can I say no?
  6. BYS Neon Lipgloss in Neon Pink: Is thie 80's really coming back? I'm just loving how slowly the shades of the seasons are getting brighter and brighter these days. Case in point is the new BYS Neon Lipgloss that is totally easy rock this summer! It's super bright, pigmented and the slip is smooth and soft. I am hooked with this collection!
  7. Heliocare Oil-Free Compact with SPF50: Albeit expensive, I know now why the creme dela creme of Manila is hooked on this brand. Heliocare has established itself as the go-to brand for ultimate sun protection. They have ingestables, lotions and creams to help protect your skin from the harsh UVA and UVB. What they got here this time is a sunscreen/makeup in one that I think is a genius. Texture is smooth, finish matte and it does a great job evening out the skin tone. If you're the type to avoid sunscreen coz it ruins your makeup, this one is for you. It is for me!

So far, these are some of my favorite Summer finds this Season. There are more coming of course, but I'd like more time to review them. Please bear with me! My schedule's been so busy lately. I have tons in store for you and you'll definitely love them! :)

By the way, which products here would you like to me to do an in depth reviews ASAP?

I know many of you have been waiting for another makeup look and here it is! Just a few more hours before the year ends! Are you looking forward to 2013? So am I! I'm so excited for that it will bring. First, I finally decided to tie the knot. Yes, finally! 7 years in a relationship I think already assures me that I'm with the right person for me. Also excited for new ventures, plans and engagements for this blog. Excited, that's probably an understatement.

Obviously, I'm quite obsessed with the 2013 color, emerald. To think that I never liked the shade green when I was younger. Signs of aging? Maybe. My taste must be maturing. But yes, green is a fabulous color on us Pinays.

And for a New Year's Eve look, take emerald to your eyes and celebrate the last of 2012 in style!

To recreate this look, just follow my instructions (and then add you're own twist!):

  1. Prime your eyes. A party can last all night long, avoid your shadows from creasing by using a really good eye primer or cream shadow. It also makes the shades more vibrant. (Bobbi Brown Cream Eyeshadow in Shore, Php1,200)
  2. Make your eye shadow pop. Apply a cream-based product for a smokier effect. (Makeup Forever Colour Case Palette, Php4,100)
  3. Apply a glittery black eyeshadow on the outer V. Or a matte one, which ever you prefer for this look. Smokey eyes are suited for evening event, it gives edgy dramatic look and shows great on photos (She Space Minerals, Stolen Soul, $.50)
  4. Apply a striking gold eye shadow on the inner corner of your eyes. Dab it with the pad of your ring finger for better pigmentation. (Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Colour in Gilded Platinum, price upon request)
  5. Trace a shimmery green eye shadow on your lower lids. (sample pigment in Enchanted, price not available)
  6. Add emerald eye shadow on your outer-crease to harmonize the whole look, use a blender brush to distribute. (sample pigment in Enchanted, price not available)
  7. Define your eyes with your favorite eyeliner. I used a liquid one since it stays on longer than pencil. (K Palette Real Lasting 24h Eyeliner, available at Beauty Bar)
  8. Accentuate your waterline with a lasting and waterproof eyeliner. (Estee Lauder Doublewear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil, available at Rustan's Department Store)
  9. Highlight your brow bones with shimmery beige eyeshadow, make sure it's warm toned to match the warmth of emerald green. (Sassy Minerals in Chantilly, price unavailable)
  10. Volumize and lengthen your lashes with your favorite mascara. (Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes, price available upon request)

Pair it with sweet cheeks and pink lips and you're good to go. Don't be afraid to do your brows and contour your cheeks if you want a complete this look.

Will show you what I used for my face after! :)

Happy New Year, dear and wonderful readers! Cheers and here's to another year of beauty and confidence-boosting posts!

Last Saturday, I spent my day at Estee Lauder Boudoir at Rustan's Sangri-la, trying on their new fabulous Holiday Nail Lacquers.

I wanted to try them all but I heart seemed to me set for Nouveau Riche and Blue Blood. Quite the contradiction, right? But they went well together. Blue and gold do go well together and have that classic feel and look.


What I love? The gel-like polish finish and how long this polish lasts on my nails!

Last might my former Parissiene office mate, Delphine, came by for a visit. We, some of us at work, hit the pub right across our office. And even with work the next day, when there's a chance to talk about travels, we stay. So over beers and mojitoes, we talked about the beautiful places in the world.

One of which is now the highlight of Estee Lauder's newest Nail Lacquer Collection for the Holidays and Spring Summer 2013, Paris.



Sigh! It has always been my wish to walk the side streets of Paris!

Can you imagine what handing out pink ribbons can do?

It gives awareness to Breast Cancer. A simple gesture that made a difference in every women's life. Breast Cancer for many years have claimed many lives of women and nothing was being done. Thanks  to tremendous efforts of Evelyn Lauder, she has brought us from the shadows and given us weapons against this deadly disease.


As I was watching the video montage of the milestones of Estee Lauder's Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, I didn't realize what an impact they've made in giving voices to women who have had breast cancer. Campaigns for early detection, research and life interventions as well as donating millions of dollars have been made by this world class beauty brand. It's amazing what one woman can do to change the world. And what changes it makes when everyone works hand in hand.

There's one thing Evelyn Lauder said that made a mark on me and it's if you can do something about anything, it's a sin not to do it. You sin if you remain silent. As bloggers, I believe we have the opportunity for our voices to be heard. To make a small difference.

Last week, I watched as Estee Lauder Philippines light up one of Manila's landmark, Ayala Museum. It warms my heart that my country is now part of this phenomenal campaign, that we are making our efforts to raise awareness for this disease. Growing up in a country where most things are taboo, I can't imagine how many women suffered breast cancer and had no one to talk to. Now we have several support groups, charitable causes devoted to helping margelinalized women to get treatments and that many associations provide free breast examination. It is not impossible without your help, our help.







As simple as writing a blog about this campaign can encourage someone to visit her doctor and have a breast exam. I hope it works! :)

When was the last time you had your breast examined? Help us win the fight against breast cancer, arm yourself with knowledge! :)
