BDJ Passion Series: Get Gorgeous!

It might not be obvious but I like makeup! I started to love this art when I began to cosplay last year. I am still a newbie to say the least. So, when I found out the Belle de Jour Power Planner would be organizing an event that included makeup, I took the chance to get a slot. I just couldn't miss the opportunity to improve on my new hobby.




The said event was held on June 30, 2012 at the Purebeauty retail store in Serendra! I braved the bad weather just to get to the place. I was overwhelmed by the number of brands that Purebeauty sells! They're high quality and trusted brands. I saw Revlon, Clairol Herbal Essences, Two-Faced, Make Up Designory, Shiseido, and more! It was a cosmetic heaven!

Half of the space of  Purebeauty is the retail store and the other half is a small room where makeup classes of Make Up Designory is held. Make Up Designory is a prestigious makeup school in New York. Having stepped onto it's Manila branch had me feeling ecstatic!


Meet our lovely host, Ms. Karen Bordador. She was beautiful in every single way: the hair, the dress, and the makeup! Plus, her positivism radiated throughout the event.

We had an ice breaker at the beginning of the event. We formed three groups according to our physical assets: hair, eyes, and lips. As for me... hair? nope! eyes? definitely not!... So lips it is then! :) The best part is... I won! Yay! I got a GC from Serenitea and a necklace from Michelis! Sweet!

The first topic was about our hair. Speakers from Azta Urban Salon shared their expertise in choosing the right color that would fit our skin color, preference, and style. For Filipinos, as we have yellowish skin tones, it is recommended that we have warm colors for our hair. They suggested reddish and brown shades. We were also informed how to care for colored treated hair.

Yeah! Live like your hair color! :)
Next stop was about skin and dental care, sponsored by Clarity Aesthetic Medical and Dental Center. The speakers were Dr. Colayco and Dr. Kawamoto, for skin and dental care, respectively.


Dr. Colayco introduced us to the different skin problems and how it can be prevented or solved.  She told us that cleansing, applying sun block, and moisturizing is very important to our skin. It is also important to check the label and the ingredients of the products that we use.


Dr. Colayco of Clarity. I love the Snow White themed slide. :)


Snacks were served after. We had chocolate chip cookies from Bizu Patisserie! Five cookies were served in a cute cylindrical plastic case with ribbons! 

Love it! Love it!


Dental care was the topic of Dr. Kawamoto. She demonstrated on how to brush our teeth properly. I have always ignored flossing. But according to her, a tooth has five sides and brushing only cleans three. I guess I would need to make flossing a habit too.  Lastly, she showed us various ways on how to get that perfect set of teeth for a radiant smile!

Before my favorite segment of the day, the Marketing Director of Purebeauty introduced us to the brand, their products, and Make Up Designory.

And finally! It's makeup time! Ms. Rea Pinpin was the speaker. I am so happy to have learned from a MUD certified instructor! She taught us about the basics of makeup, sanitation, and makeup application. A lucky Bella with the name Melissa was chosen as the model for this session.

Wow! Hair, skin, teeth, and makeup all in one! I love this day of pure beauty at Purebeauty! I am so blessed with Belle de Jour Power Planner! All of the Bellas present went home with loot bags!


My loot and my prizes from the games! 


Thank you to Darlyn and the BDJ girls!

The 2019 Starbucks SG Planner

Happy New Year, dear readers! The year 2019 comes with new wishes, new beginnings, and of course, new planners! Yay! I'm excited for all of it. The new year for me means a fresh start for all the failures I've had for the previous year. Yep, I feel ya! 2018 was kinda rough for me, too. But anyways, I'm here to share with you a tool to help us face the days ahead.  I'm sure that some of us take life as it goes along. But there are others, like me, who have a planning personality. And lemme tell ya, it's really frustrating how things don't go according to plan. Most of the time, life doesn't make it go as planned. Ugh... But fret not! Even if life foils everything, that doesn't stop us from using planners! Wheee~ They're cute and inspirational. They give us a sense of "getting our life together" , too. Hahaha~ So for this post, I'm gonna share with you the Starbucks Singapore  2019 planner!  The 2019 Starbucks Singapore Planner

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did!  Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included!  He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench .  Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather.  I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner.  The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur
