Ever have one of those nights where you just can’t sleep, but you have an important event the next day? Hello eyebags! Sure, makeup can sometimes hide the fact that you barely got a wink of sleep all night, but not all the concealer in the world can hide your puffy, dark undereye circles. Instead of turning to crazy solutions to hide unattractive dark under-eyes, have you ever tried using Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On? It’s amazing how this simple product can reduce eye bags and brighten up tired eyes. Aside from the cooling metal roll-on, what makes this product so effective is the caffeine, which will erase all signs of exhaustion and fatigue from your eye area.

You can grab the Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On at Watson’s for only P299, or get a chance to win it at rollinbrightness.com! All you have to do is share a serious eyebag situation that led to a ridiculous situation in your attempt to hide it. High-rated entries will win a goody pack from Garnier. Good luck!

Good news, makeup hoarders – Korean brand Etude House has finally arrived in the Philippines! I actually haven’t heard of Etude House until Liz told me about it, but they’re very popular among the Korean youth because of their affordable prices and BB cream (blemish balm cream). I paid the Etude House store a visit today and was pleased to find out that they have an extensive product line at very competitive prices. Not to mention that the pink and white interior is very warm, welcoming, and cheerful! You can’t just pass by this store without coming in to take a look.

Etude House can be found at the ground floor of Megamall Building A, across Toy Kingdom. They’re giving away some freebies at the moment – an eyelash curler for every P1,000 purchase, a talking stuffed kitty for every P2,000 purchase, and a total age repair sampler set for every P3,000 purchase.
