Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On

Lauren — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 13:28:46 +0000

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!

Etude House in the Philippines

Lauren — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 07:18:32 +0000

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.————

HBC Tatak Exclusibo Sale

Lauren — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:33:12 +0000

Beauty comes at a price, but the price tag doesn’t always have to be high – especially if you know where to shop. Those looking for affordable beauty and body care products need to look no further than HBC (Hortaleza Beauty Center), a family owned store that provides products made especially for Filipinos. The average item at HBC won’t set you back more than 200 or 300, but prices are even lower now that they’ve launched the Tatak Exclusibo Sale.

Last night, we attended the formal launch of the sale and got a sneak preview of the items up for grabs.

San San, HBC’s in-house makeup brand, offers really affordable products for below P200 (although I’m not sure if this is the sale price). I was intrigued by their kohl eyeliner, which comes with a sponge.

The highlight of the evening was an auction of three large chests filled with HBC products. Everyone who entered the door received gift certificates to use for the auction, and my mom got too excited with the bidding that we ended up winning the first chest!

We ended up with lots of San San products, mostly face powders, vitamin creams, lip gloss, nail polish, and cheek tints. We’ll probably be raffling some of these off in the future.

As for me, I bought two items from Body Recipe – a hair spa creme and a coconut body scrub. I tried both of them when I showered last night and I was impressed by the quality of these products. The coconut body scrub has a fragrant but subtle coconut-y scent and a generous mix of scrubbing beads that left my skin feeling softer and cleaner. I wish the coconut scent lasted longer on my skin; I would have loved to keep on smelling it even after my shower. The hair spa creme is made of coconut oil, sabalia, and horestail extract, and works like a glorified conditioner; after shampooing, simply coat your wet hair with the product starting from the roots to the tips. Massage gently. Although the instructions on the bottle said to leave your hair under a steamer for 15-20 minutes, I only let the product stay on for about five or ten minutes before rinsing it off. My hair ended up smelling sweet and feeling unbelievably soft after I let it dry. The best part about it is that it’s really affordable – I think it only cost around P195. Watson’s has hair spa products too, but I think they’re about a hundred pesos more expensive. The Body Recipe Hair Treatment Creme was definitely a good buy, and will be very useful after I get my hair digipermed this weekend.

Visit the HBC website to find the nearest HBC store in your city. You can purchase HBC products through the website too!————

Tamera Online

Lauren — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 10:57:56 +0000

Last Saturday, I attended the launch of Tamera Online, the first online makeup store in the Philippines. I’ve never tried buying makeup online because I like experimenting with palettes at the cosmetic counters, but if you already know what shade is great for you and if you’re already familiar with a particular brand, then Tamera Online allows you to restock your kikay kit with just a few mouse clicks. And even if you don’t know what shade might complement your skin tone or which eye shadow palette to choose from, Tamera Online has a forum where staff members and other makeup aficionados can help you out.

Another reason to check Tamera Online out – perhaps the most important reason – is that they carry brands and products that you can’t find at department stores in the Philippines. As of now they have Neutrogena (the makeup line – yes, they actually have one), Physicians Formula, and Benefit, but soon they will be carrying other brands like Mac, Nars, Estee Lauder, Givenchy, Dior, and many others.

Look under the jump for amazing products that await you at Tamera Online!

Neutrogena

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Liquid Makeup produces a healthy, natural look without being harsh on the skin.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin liquid makeup contains Pro-Retinol and Vitamin E to refine skin texture, reduce roughness, unevenness, dullness, and blotchiness. It also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Physician’s Formula

The Physician’s Formula multi-colored custom bronzer is one of their best-selling products. The perfect combination of bronze shades evens out skin tones to give you a natural tan glow. You can choose which shades to blend together and how to apply them. Perfect for skin tones that change with the seasons.

Physician’s Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colord Highlighter has the right color combination to correct imperfections and enhance skin tone. Provides a soft, natural color without a harsh monotone cast.

Visit the Tamera Online website to browse through hundreds of other makeup items and skin care products! Tamera Online offers free shipping for customers within Metro Manila and hassle-free payment schemes through Paypal.————

Beauty & Minerals Mineral Makeup Bazaar

Shopping Finds — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 05:15:38 +0000

Mineral makeup is more than just a trend in beauty culture. Unlike traditional makeup products, mineral makeup is a hypoallergenic loose powder that contains no talc, alcohol, dyes, perfumes, oil, or preservatives. Mineral makeup nourishes the skin while providing sheer to full coverage – minus the thick, pore-clogging consequences of traditional makeup.

Here are some more reasons why mineral makeup is good for you:

Mineral makeup is great on sensitive skin. Commercial makeup tends to cause acne, clogged pores, and allergies. But because mineral makeup is 100% organic and oil-free, it will not clog pores nor cause pimples like traditional cosmetics.

It feels like you’re not wearing any makeup at all. A lot of women don’t like using makeup because it feels like they have layers of powder on, but the texture of mineral makeup is light and different. Even if you put on enough for full coverage, your makeup will still look natural and radiant.

Mineral makeup protects skin from the sun. One of the ingredients found in mineral makeup is zinc oxide, which offers natural protection from UV-rays. Most mineral makeup products have 6-10% zinc, and some of them offer 20 or 30 SPF.

If you’d like to find out more about mineral makeup, or if you’re already a mineral makeup lover, check out Beauty and Mineral’s mineral makeup booth at the following bazaars:

November 23, 2008 ( Sunday ) – Hotel Intercontinental Manila for Assumption Bazaar
November 30, 2008 ( Sunday )- Hotel Intercontinental Manila for Zonta Bazaar
Dec. 20-21 , 2008 ( Saturday to Sunday ) – Greenmeadows Bazaar for Mineral Makeup Weekend

See you there!————
