Conversations Behind the Counter: Ceje from BYS (Glow Guide Diaries #1)

  In my latest Soft Saturday Diaries , I mentioned that I dropped by the BYS pop-up shop at SM Makati. I had a very interesting time there, talking to one of the, what I would call, Glow Guides — women who don’t just sell makeup, but help you glow from the inside out.
