BARO for stylista

 

The month of March marks the beginning of summer here in the Philippines and what better way to start the summer solstice than by having a summer-themed photo shoot! I was so happy that BARO for stylista gave me the opportunity to do the makeup for the shoot of their summer collection. :)

February Girl

Hello! I'd like to invite everyone to grab a copy of Sense&Style Magazine this month with the beautiful Heart Evangelista on the cover! (She's also a Feb girl! :D)You will see my photo in the pages of their Spring 2012 issue and it'll be on stands for the entire month of February, my birthmonth! Early birthday present maybe? Hehe! February is just full of lovely wonders! :) 

Here are some shots from the photo shoot where we all wore our spring-ready outfits! 

Ring out the old, Ring in the NEW!

This time of the year definitely makes you want a fresh, new start. To some, it may equate to a change of perspective, a shift in career, a wardrobe modification, or maybe even a makeover. This 2012, for whatever way you choose to start the new year, may it be old habits you want gone, or new things you plan to take on, the old must go before we can welcome the new. Same goes with your makeup kit!

Now is the perfect time to share with you this Japanese makeup line that recently made its debut in the Philippines, Koh Gen Do. In this post you will read about their primer, concealer, foundations, and makeup remover. Koh Gen Do generally describes their makeup as "high definition" as it is fit for long hours yet natural, fresh and "feels wonderful to wear daily". Their philosophy of 25 years is to create makeup inspired by skincare; free of fragrance, composite pigments and mineral oil that with continuous usage of their products, the skin’s health will be enhanced from within. 

• Maifanshi Makeup Color Base in Pearl White – I use it as a primer for the face, on areas in need of brightening like the eyes. It’s a great cream base that gives makeup long-lasting wear, gives an illuminating effect as it minimizes the pores, and protects the skin from the UV rays with an SPF 16 PA++. All that in one little tube!

Holiday Dreams

Hi everyone! I can almost feel Christmas at my fingertips!  So to go with the times, I’d like to share my list of 2011 holiday collections’ must-haves that’ll surely make you dazzle this festive season 

1. Even though it’s the holiday season in the Philippines, we still get our daily dose of sunshine, so everyone needs a good moisturizer and sunblock for the face. Here’s a good product that can serve as both!

Benefit Triple Performing Facial Emulsion – This comes from the b.right Radiant Skincare Collection that promises moisture, radiance and sun protection.  I use this every day after washing my face in the morning. It also makes applying foundation a breeze because it makes the skin super smooth.
