Twelve fragrances imagined around the most inspiring and energizing ingredients from all around the world. Inspired by diversity, the core value of United Colors of Benetton, the new Body mists collection was imagined around the most inspiring and energizing ingredients from all around the world. Twelve fresh, shiny and luminous body mists were developed: the Charming Frangipani smell to discover the warmth of Nicaragua, the Energizing Pitanga scent to get electrified by a Brazilian shot or even the Cheering Rose fragrance to be lulled by the delicate interpretation of Turkish rose….
Choose the variants that best express your personality and feel transported by their exotic and unique smells.
Use the world as your inspiration!
Growing up with a very sensitive olfactory nerves (I have allergic rhinitis for the record) made me love body mists more than perfume. I am very choosy when it comes to scents. I hate heavy scents that can befuddle my brain cells within seconds from smelling it. Benetton finally launched their new body mists collection for only 499 pesos.

|
There are 12 fragrances to choose from which everyone. Quite a lot for their very first collection eh? |
|
Would you like to know my top two picks? |
Pitanga is my very first choice!! This is a very fun scent. It was love at first smell. Sadly, I was not able to snag a bottle of this during the event.
|
Guarana is also a refreshing scent which comes second on my list. |
|
Here are the list of scents with their corresponding description. |

Thanks UCB for the wonderful event!!
Lastly, I would like to thank Miss Ems Koa for inviting me and for the concern and goodies she gave me. Thanks so much Ems.
Godbless everyone |

I have a confession to make. I am a mall rat. Strolling around the mall is my favorite past time. I find it very therapeutic. BF even jokingly asked if I am an Employee of SM and I have already counted the stocks on the gondola because I would walk around the department store countless of times within a week. Thus, I came to know about BYS Cosmetics when I saw its stall at Megamall. Oh my! Boy, I was overwhelmed when I saw their products. This brand has over a thousand of beauty products from foundation, blushes, primer, eyeshadows, lipsticks to nail polishes. You name it! They even have accessories!!! You can find every color of lipstick you can imagine. BYS is an Australian brand which means Be Your Self. Let me share with you their BYS principle:
The BYS credo is to provide the broader market with the products that allow them to indulge in current beauty trends while meeting their basic needs. The label, “Be YourSelf” gives all spectrums of the market access to high fashion. BYS addresses a target market it organizes into four personas — with at least one with whom a beauty client can relate to for the moment. Although different in personalities, all Filipinas yearn to be beautiful, current, practical and fashion forward. BYS offers Filipinas the freedom of choice. To be who they are, and be who they aspire to be. BYS is about current, modern, affordable and appropriate beauty. Set the Trends. Be YourSelf.
I am super thrilled that BYS has finally Philippines shores because their products are very affordbale.
I was invited to the BYS Event at Seda Hotel where they feature the Spring/Summer Makeup Trends. Makeup station greeted me filled with BYS goodies. Makeup Heaven again. Had I known that we can play around with BYS makeup, I would have come to the event bare faced so I can use their products and not merely test them at the back of my hand.
All the bloggers were busy rummaging through the BYS goodies.
During the event BYS showcased the Spring/Summer Forecast for 2013.
They started with Skintastic.
|
This is their no makeup look version which simply means concentrating on enhancing ones features. |
The next look is all about Metallic Eyeshadow.
|
Have you seen Dulce Candy's Valentine's day look using pink glitters? It looks so pretty. |
Pop Culture Trend
|
Model is looking hot with a pop of color on her eyes. Can you imagine she's wearing hot pink eyeliner on her lower lashline and upper lid? I never knew this look is actually wearable and looks great for Filipina skintone.
I will be showing you some of BYS Products that immediately caught my eyes: |
|
This lipstick looks so gorgeous on its own and even when worn. The color is a nudish warm pink which definitely looks good with smokey or neutral eyes. |
|
This is definitely on my to buy list!! |
|
Another product to look forward to. This eyebrow pencil is a retractable pencil with slanted tip. |
|
Cream eyeshadow are very nice and blendable. The brown one is my fave. |
|

This 2013, I promised myself that I will try high end brands. I have always wanted to splurge on makeup but I vehemently refused to do so. Perhaps, the practical me is not soo ready to spend thousand of pesos on makeup which I know have dupes out there. As my motto goes "There's always a dupe out there." Plus, who can't resist cheap thrills, right? I wanted to buy a basic eyeshadow palette that I can wear everyday. I was thinking of buying Wet n Wild Palettes again or the In2it Eyeshadow quads. While strolling around Watsons (Perhaps, my favorite place in the world and boyfriend's most hated part of the mall.) I chanced upon this palette at the 4u2 stall. It is the so small, it can fit my pockets.
Very handy and lightweight. The fact that is in hot pink makes it cuter!!
|
This is the Reflection Quattro Eyeshadow in No.1 I was sold when I swatched the colors at the back of my hand. For only 199 pesos, you get a very nice handy eyeshadow palette. |
|
I fell in love with the colors of this palette. The colors are perfect for everyday wear and with even for night outs (just blend it with a black eyeshadow and you are good to go.) The colors glides smoothly when applied. The color pay off is comparable to high end brands. It is very pigmented and blendable. It has a nice frost that gives the shadow that pearly shiny effect. The sheen is very very very subtle and it reflects a good amount of light once applied. DO not fear looking like a disco ball when using this quad. I am honestly not into shimmery shadows but this one is super worth the try and a raving blog post like this. |
The texture is very creamy and with one swipe, you can immediately get a good amount of product for your lid. I tried using this today without any eye primer and it stayed in place for 2 hours without creasing. When paired with an eye primer, rest assured that it will not budge for almost the whole day. Note that I have a dry skin thus, sans the oily lids.

This eyeshadow palette has four shades which contains, 1st shade- a dark brown with red undertones 2nd shade -a nice frosty pale rosey champagne color (my favorite and reminds me of Urban Decay's eyeshadow in the shade SIN) 3rd shade- frosted warm peach-beige eyeshadow (reminds me of Mac's Naked Lunch and/or Grain) 4th shade - shimmery white color which is perfect for highlighting! |

Do you agree that this one is such a steal?
I will make an FOTD post using this palette over the weekend.
Godbless everyone! Happy Valentine's day!!!

Last Saturday, I was privileged to be a part of Sophie Paris Love Yourself Fashion and Beauty Summit.
I gave tips about beauty and makeup to those who attended the event.
Sophie Paris is a direct selling and marketing company that offers trendy bags, accessories clothes and cosmetics.
I was able to take some photos before the event.
Makeup heaven!!! I have tried their J'adore lipsticks which are quite impressive for only 79 pesos. They have a new shade called Very Important Pink which is a gorgeous hot pink. I think I will be buying this soon. I highly recommend their lipsticks because they offer a wide array of colors and price wise, very very affordable. I really want to try all their lippies!! I hope Sophie Paris will hear my plea. lol
The red two way foundation compact reminds me of my HG Fanny Serrano Powder Foundation.
With the beautiful and fashionable young bloggers during the event.
(Matanders na aketch kaya ateng ate ang peg ko for that day.. )
Thank you Sophie Paris for inviting me to this wonderful event.
Godbless everyone!

If you love styling your hair, you must also learn how to take care of it. For the last two years, I have managed to learn a few hairstyles with the use of hot tools (Thanks Youtube!!). It cannot be gainsaid that using straightening and curling irons can definitely damage our hair. However, who can resist looking like I-have-just-got-out-of-a-salon look. As the saying goes, our hair is our crowing glory. The ultimate dilemma was where to find a good heat protectant locally. I have shared with you a local heat protectant before but like I have said before, the scent is not that nice. When I heard that Beautycorp is releasing Fuwarie here in the Philippines, I was thrilled and dismayed at the same time. Thrilled - because finally, our search for a good heat protectant is now over. Dismayed because all my hot tool are now gone because of the tragedy!! Oh well, I really just have to save money for a good flat iron that can be both used for straightening and curling. Any suggestions?
Prostyle Fuwarie is manufactured by Kracie. To date, it is one of Japan' best selling styling product. Using this styling mist can prevent split ends, hair discoloration and breakage when using hot styling tools. Aside from protecting your hair, this can also lengthen the curls and the style of your hair. It protects your hair from the harmful UV rays and on top of all these benefits, it has a nice fruity scent!
Prostyle Fuwarie is available at Beauty Bar for only 450 pesos.
It has three variants - for straight hairstyle, for curly and air bob hairstyle.
I will try using the variant for straight and smooth with the use of blow dryer, let's see if it works. :)
Thanks Beautycorp for always bringing the best of Japan here in the Philippines.
Godbless everyone!
