Bye, Bye Dark Circles

I know this is an overdue post but forgive me as I had the SuperSale bazaar to attend to a day after this event.

I was there bright and early as I know everybody from Bobbi Brown was excited and I wanted to be there to show my support. After all, I got the invite more than a month before this event was even given a specific date. And true enough, everybody was at their best.

Here are photos:

The event was held at the Grand Mall area. When I got there, people from the PRESS were being entertained. Oh boy, did they have fun with the makeovers and the photo sessions.

That’s Kai Vinson’s spot. Of course, he was the leader of the pack.

The Bobbi Brown team was in full force. Here’s Dennis from Shangri-La getting busy with a client:

Here’s Owell working his magic on Sugar:

Ms. Mona, the counter manager was uber busy! She was walking back and forth from the counter inside the mall to the event outside, in heels nonetheless!

This photo was taken after the event. I couldn’t get a hold of her during! Once I was able to coax her into having a photo taken with me but as the photographer was counting, Ms. Ina called her and poof! No more photo.

And how can I forget the Senior Makeup Artist of Bobbi Brown Philippines:

Ms. Bea, who always does my makeup so flawlessly. I love her to bits!

An hour was set aside for bloggers. I was not invited as a blogger but as a regular client but I still tagged along during the blogger session. = )

Here are the bloggers with a Q&A session with Kai. But before that, the bloggers had their dark circles erased first, of course. Here’s Sugar:

Sugar is super tall that’s why I asked her to remain sitting so that I can have a photo with her. Well, we actually have a photo taken by the professionals at the photo booth. It’s in her blog. You’ll see the height difference. LOL.

After the session, each blogger had her photo taken with Kai:

Kai is so gracious and well-mannered unlike that other MUA who shall remain unnamed. Haha! He was able to answer all our questions. About 30 minutes before the event ended, I had a nice chat with him again. I asked a bunch of questions that I wasn’t able to ask during the bloggers’ session. I also went through his palettes. Oh, yeah. I did that, but with permission of course! I told him I was a MUA in training so he gave me some tips. I was at the Clinique counter when he left. I called out and said bye to him and he looked for me, walked towards me and kissed me goodbye.  He’s very nice indeed. I was starstruck when I first met him and felt that I found a longtime friend when he left. I have a feeling I’ll be seeing more of him in the future during workshops.

The Beauty Experts

In this event, I learned not only the basics of the Concealer/Corrector but insider tips as well. I’m glad I went to this event in spite of my hectic schedule that week.

A special thanks goes out to my Bobbi Brown family:

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
