The Traveling Heels

Give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can rule the world.

Tony Moly Spa Escape

Tony Moly (TM) invited bloggers and media friends to a maniped and facial session at The Suriya Spa so that we can try out their latest nail and face products.

TM Party Lover Nail Polish Remover and TM Nail Polishes.

They recommended their latest Galaxy nail polish which were really nice and blingy but I was afraid to use them on my poor tiny nails so I took home this GT03 shade for my mom instead since she’s blessed with perfect long nails. 

Typed my Royal Effem Makeup review while having my nails done. Couldn’t let my back logs pile up even more! 

After my maniped, I was given the choice to have a facial using one of their latest products: The Oriental Gyeol line or…

..The Timeless EGF Power Creams. Angel of TM recommended the latter so I went with her selection.

The therapist removed my makeup with TM’s Grapefruit cleansing oil gel and Floria all-in-one cleansing oil tissue. The grapefruit gel smells so good!

After cleansing my face, she applied some Intense Care Snail Skin toner. It was intense alright! My face felt a burning sensation but the Live Snail Hydro-gel Mask immediately soothed it. Guess I have to be careful when trying out toners next time.

The Intense Repair Live Snail Hydro-gel Mask was left on for about 20 minutes. At home, I usually leave it on for a longer time because there’s no harm in moisturizing your face. (not unless you have sensitive or oily skin)

After discarding the mask, the various Timeless EGF Power creams were applied on my face. It felt like a collagen treatment but even better because of the additional effects aside from moisturization. 

EGF means Epidermal Growth Factor. This variant promotes epidermal cell regeneration, skin resilience, wrinkle improvement, skin hydration, protection and skin whitening. I can’t get over the Power Eye Cream because my tired eyes felt really smooth and relaxed the whole night at the Tatt Awards. (I went there right after this event)

Ended the day with a short chit chat with blogger friends Tracy and Carizza. Tracy noticed that I have no eye bags at all despite having no makeup on. Yes girls, my secret is layering on eye creams before I go to sleep!

I got to take home 3 face masks. I always store them in the chiller so they’re cold when I use them. The perfect weapon to fight the crazy heat wave this summer.

I was hoping to get a sample of the EGF Eye Cream but this will do! The Oriental Gyeol Eye Cream also corrects the lines, wrinkles and dark areas around the eyes.

As a bonus, I also got this super pretty Backstage Wonder Style Box eye and cheek makeup. Watch out for an LOTD post using this makeup!

Thanks for the fun and relaxing afternoon, Tony Moly!

Say it Sweeter with Toblerone this Mother’s Day

Spent last Thursday afternoon sipping Mojitos and munching Toblerone Chocolates with Val at a beautiful home-turned-into-talk-show-studio in Forbes park.

I loved everything about the place especially the tranquility. Thursday lunch felt more like Sunday brunch.

What’s your favorite Toblerone? Mine’s the white one. 
Val and I was expecting to see a giant Toblerone fondue when we entered the house. *wishful thinking*

Flipped the Toblerone box and saw this special edition print right before the program started. Guess who hosted it?

Clue: She’s one of the few hip moms that can rock this pair of Louboutins.

It’s none other than super cool mom, Tessa Prieto-Valdes and RJ Ledesma.
They picked the right combination because both of them really brought the place to life starting with Tessa’s flamboyant ensemble and RJ’s funny punch lines.

Each of them gave their fair share about being a mother and a son and both came to a conclusion that children nowadays are ashamed or find it awkward to say ‘I love you’ to their parents.

Toblerone invited life coach, Pia Acevedo, to explain the reason behind it through stories from yuppies like Jessica Tan-Gan, Georgia Schulze-Del Rosario & RJ Jacinto. 

Everyone was touched by Georgia’s thank you speech to her mom. I got a bit teary-eyed because I could relate to her story about spending a lot of time with her mom in the kitchen and inheriting all of her secret recipes because her sister (and mine too) isn’t fond of baking. In my mom’s case, cooking. She can’t bake to save her life. Haha. *u*

Pia explained that each person has a unique way of showing or saying I love you through the 5 love languages. 

  1. Words of Affirmation
  2. Quality Time
  3. Receiving Gifts
  4. Acts of Service
  5. Physical Touch
I really got interested in this topic so I read more about it HERE when I got home. It made me understand why some people misinterpret the lack of affection or “lambing” from their loved ones.

I’m guessing RJ’s love language is #5, physical touch because he wasn’t awkward with hugging or holding his mom’s hands. He admitted to being a ‘mama’s boy’ too.

They were given a box of Toblerones with a little extra something inside. There were ‘awwws’ and big smiles when they showed us their mother and son/daughter photos inside their boxes. 

Had a short chat with Tessa and she told us about how she spoils her kids and showers them with gifts. I’d like to have her as a mom for a day (only). I wouldn’t swap mine for anyone, not even 10 Tessa Prieto-Valdes-es. Yes, I’m a mamas girl. :>

I just wish my mom would learn how to wear high heels so I could steal borrow them!

Got to take home a box full of Toblerones. Sent some to one of my best friends’ mom because she loves chocolates more than my mom. 8D

So, when was the last time you said I love you to mom? Say it sweeter this Mother’s Day and you may get the chance to win a getaway for the two of you!

Just upload an uber-sweet photo of the two of you at givetoblerone.com with a catchy caption. Click HERE for the complete contest info.

Mother’s Day is less than 2 weeks away. What gift or plan do you have in mind? :)

J. Co. Donuts Grand Opening @ The Strip, Megamall.

Two weeks ago, J. Co Donuts & Coffee officially opened its doors to the public at their first branch in The Strip, Megamall. It was a fun afternoon with friends and *drum roll* unlimited J. Co. donuts and coffee!

Their donut names are very cute and easy to remember. Why? They’re all named after Hollywood stars and timeless characters like Blue Berrymore, Avocado Dicaprio & Mona Pizza.

J. Co offers not just a wide variety of donuts but they also have yogurts, coffee and Frappes.

Our jaws dropped when we tried their Cappuccino Avocado. EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE MUST TRY THIS!! For those who aren’t fond of the fruit, don’t worry because it doesn’t taste anything like it! If the manager didn’t tell me it was avocado I would have mistaken it for a milky green tea frappe. I also think it’s a safe drink for those who are afraid of caffeine because I didn’t stay up all night despite drinking this at around 6pm.

Harry & I sharing a cup of Cappuccino Avocado. 

Val enjoying hers as well.

Donuts were served to the guests all afternoon. Since I can only eat a maximum of 2 donuts in one sitting, I absolutely adored their mini-donuts. The size is perfect plus, they’re cream filled! I lost track of how many pieces I had that afternoon. *_*

If I were to recommend a donut for breakfast, the J. Club Cheesy Rich is the perfect choice! It kinda reminds me of Ensaymada but cheesier and creamier. 

J. Co.’s famous Al Capone and Heaven Berry donut.

The grand opening was star-studded and packed so I wasn’t able to go around. Good thing Sam YG and Toni Toni from Magic 89.9’s Boys Night Out were just standing right beside me!

Bumped into my family friends, Gwen and Meryll. They were the ones who told me about J. Co. way before they even started building the first branch here. Meryll got impressed by their donuts during her trip to Indonesia so she’s really happy that they’re finally in the Philippines.

Oh before I forget, here’s what I wore:

OOTD: Peach Blazer PEANUT BUTTER & JERRY, Yellow tank top, Green bodycon skirt & Pumps FOREVER 21, Bag BALENCIAGA.

We got to take home a dozen J. Co. Donuts and they were divine!! I heard that the Al Capone ones are sold out by the middle of the day since they opened.

Obviously, who wouldn’t love donut drizzled with white chocolate and topped with crunchy almonds? I don’t even like almonds but I am nutty about this donut! ;)

Have you tried J. Co. Donuts? Share your experience with me!

J. Co. Donuts & Coffee is located at:
Mega Strip B, SM Megamall
EDSA corner Julia Vargas Ave.
Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines

Bloggers Event: Bench 1M for 1M

A few weeks ago, Bench gathered bloggers together to discuss their Twitter “1M for 1M” campaign at M Cafe in Greenbelt 3.

Photo above (L-R) Lissa Kahayon, Camille Co, Valerie Chua, Seph Cham, Me, Veniece Enciso, Vern Enciso, Michael Lim.

Val showing off her “brace-free smile” with Seph photo-bombing her.

As always, I love the Asian food selection of M Cafe.

Mia Bayuga of Magic 89.9 told us what the campaign is all about. Bench will be donating P100,000 to a charity for every 100,000 followers in Twitter. 

With the help of its endorsers, Bench has drummed up a list of 15 foundations for the ultimate goal of endowing one of these charities with 1 million pesos. You can see the complete list of endorsers HERE. The endorser with the most number of votes on the day @Benchtm gets a 100,000 tier (200k, 300k so on..) of followers will win the P100,000 for his/her corresponding foundation.

To vote, simply log in to www.benchtm.com/1M41M using your twitter account, vote for your desired endorser or charity and then send a tweet saying “I follow @Benchtm & voted for (Celebrity name) via http://benchtm.com/1M41M #Bench1M41M”

Here’s Bench 1M41M endorser Janine Gutierez inviting us to vote for her and her charity White Cross. Doesn’t she remind you of Lucy Hale, Bench endorser and one of the leading cast members of Pretty Little Liars? :)

With the Enciso sisters! <3 Good thing we were seated beside each other, we were able to finalize our makeup workshop date. Yey! :)

Val and Forever Alone Seph. I’m not used to hanging out with him without Shai around. We miss you bebe! Come back home lah!

My first time to meet Michael Lim! He’s a good friend of my highschool kabarkada so I’ve heard so much about him even prior to FashionPulis.com.

I was about to leave when I saw Jake Cuenca enter the room. Shen also arrived in the nick of time. I look so crappy beside her fabulous make up! :))

Jake invited us to support him and his chosen foundation, CRIBS. I’ve visited the foundation HQ back when I was in high school and I’m quite aware of their advocacy so he definitely gets my vote! :)

You can also vote for Jake at Benchtm.com. Don’t forget to log in via Twitter first! :)

The Vow Premiere | RIVALRY: Ateneo- La Salle Musical

A few weeks ago, Carmex and Zoya Manila invited us to the special screening of The Vow. I enjoyed meeting all my sexy and single & happily in love ticket winners at Rockwell Power Plant. The cinema was filled with pretty fashion and beauty bloggers of Manila plus their beloved readers. I hate myself for not being able to take a group photo using my cam! >__>

Good thing I got a photo with my beauty blogger buddy, Shen! :)

Before the movie started, the sponsors held a bring-me game and raffled off some prizes. Here’s what we got..

Heno de Pravia soaps, deodorant and talcum powder. These are all made with organic and natural ingredients. Been using the powder for 2 weeks already and I love the light scent and texture. I hope it’s readily available in the market when I run out!

Got 2 lip balms from one of my favorite lip care brands, Carmex! I won’t be opening these anytime soon since I still have an open Carmex lip balm pot from my Europe trip. I’m definitely including the strawberry flavor click stick (right) in my everyday makeup bag.

Gift Certificates to Organic Rituals Spa in Greenhills and a 50% off coupon for Zoya Nail Polish. Really excited to test them in real life because I’ve been browsing a lot of nail art blogs lately and I can’t wait to experiment on my sister’s nails using Zoya Polish.

Which one is your favorite shade? I think I might go with the mint green or the sky blue one!

Speaking of Blue and Green, have you watched RIVALRY - The Ateneo-La Salle Musical?

I was able to watch it last week with my best friend from Ateneo and sister from La Salle and we surely enjoyed the show! You don’t have to be a blue or green student to enjoy it. *points to self* :))

The musical is set in the 1960’s so expect a lot of old school cheesy lines about school, love, friendship and family. My favorite part of the musical is the love triangle between an Atenean and a LaSallian. I never knew that their rivalry originated from …. Oops, I might reveal too much! ;) So go and watch it during it’s last three runs at the Meralco Theatre this week:

MAR 7 (WED) 8pm
9 (FRI) 8pm 
10 (SAT) 8pm
11 (SUN) 3pm


*Good thing I was able to take this photo secretly* hoho :))

Congratulations to Athena (as Reena) for a job well done!! I was so blown away by her performance. I can’t believe I used to sit in the same class with her. I wish she broke into song during our accounting classes before. It would have made my school life easier. haha! :))

Please watch and support Athena Tibi at RIVALRY to find out if an Atenean or La Sallian won her heart at the end. O diba, who’s the better lover: Blue or Green? ;)

Tickets are available at Ticketworld 891-9999 www.ticketworld.com.ph

It’s More Fun with Nivea Sun! ☀☼☀

Nivea Sun together with Charina Sarte and the Department of Tourism kicks off summer at Skye Lounge in W High Street.

The cozy ambience and lighting made me forget that it was only February. I felt like we were chilling on a not-so-hot summer night. We were lucky that it was a bit windy during the event. I’ve been hanging out at Skye lately so I hope it doesn’t get too hot during the summer!

The usual suspects:

With Mikki, the fierce Brand Manager of Nivea Visage.

Beauty bloggers Kumiko Mae (Loving Sunshine) and Earthling Rullan (EarthlinGorgeous).

Lee Shen Gee (Shen’s Addiction), Rowena Wendy Lei (Animetric) & Valerie Chua (QuietGirl).


Jamie, the Brand Manager of Nivea Sun discusses the tie-up between the Department of Tourism and Nivea. They will be launching an online application that will feature the local hotspots in the Philippines. People can vote for their favorite spots and will get a chance to win big prizes and a trip to the place that they vote for. Like their Facebook page to stay updated on this promo.

Next up, Charina Sarte’s summer collection for Nivea Sun.

^This was my favorite out of all the swimsuits and bikinis that night. Of course, I chose the most conservative one because I’m not a fan of showing too much skin. (Not unless I lose around 30 pounds of fat by this summer) :)) 

I bet these swimsuits and bikinis can give a hot and sexy tan when you apply tanning Oil by Nivea Sun. Believe it or not, my tan from last summer is still visible on my back! My skin is pretty crazy so I rarely go to the beach. *sad* 

With the NIVEA Family! I absolutely adore Jamie’s maxi dress by Charina Sarte. It’s no wonder she was the chosen designer for this prestigious event/ tie-up. :-)

So here’s what I wore to the event.. 

Since the word “Sun” makes me think of warm colors, I wore this orange long Kimono cover-up from Forever 21. I wore a nylon tank top and bodycon skirt to make it seem like I’m wearing swimwear underneath. Teehee. 

Bag and accessories H&M; Watch MANGO

Killer Glitter pumps FOREVER 21

Yey for this new clutch and Nivea Sun goodies! My mom nabbed the SPF for the face since she uses it everyday. I’ll be saving the moisturizing SPF lotion for this summer so my skin can stay nog-nog (sunog/burn) free. Hopefully my parents will agree on going to a local destination this holy week.

Can’t wait for summer to arrive!

Garage Magazine 3rd Anniversary | Street Dapper Kings 2011

Last Wednesday, I accompanied my friend Harry to Garage Magazine’s 3rd Anniversary/ Street Dapper Kings party at Republiq Club in Resorts World. The event was right beside Mango’s F/W 2011 fashion show but I was so torn so I had to hop from venue to venue every other hour. *_*

Sanya Smith hosted the event. Love, love, love her dirty blonde hair and electric blue makeup!

Made a couple of new friends~

Will, the friendliest and most hyper guy in our table.

Gino, one of the best dressed, flaunting his prize from Dockers & Garage Magazine.

Old friends: Dale & Harry. I never have a dull moment when I’m with these two!

With JP Singson~ blogger & owner of Unisex clothing & accessories.

Got a photo op with Ding Dong Dantes before bouncing to Opus for some (more) drinks. He’s was soooo hot!! But I’m not posting the photo because it looks so crappy. >:( (or I looked a bit woozy. *hee*)

Congratulations to Dong Ronquillo (middle) a.k.a. “Fierce Dong” for being chosen by Garage Magazine as one of best dressed men. He surely rocked his top by Rajo Laurel & skort from Givency S/S 2011. Only a true fashionable man can wear a skirt. ;)

Of course, I couldn’t let the night end without having an asian pose photo. :> One thing I forgot though, was to take a decent outfit photo for my Lookbook. Fail. I guess it means I was having too much fun (or alcohol) to even remember. :))

Thanks for throwing a great party, Garage Magazine! Happy 3rd anniversary! *cheers*

Valii Watch Launch

[Late post] Manila Peninsula Hotel, Rigodon Ballroom~ Anita Chan, renowned jewelry designer, launched her very own Italian-made watch line in Manila.

I arrived extra-early while my companion was late. I was left in a room filled with Ms. Anita’s friends and most of them of course were Chinese. Lucky for me I understood what they were all saying and was able to mingle around a bit to get more details about the brand. *awkward bunny*

The event was hosted by Tessa Prieto-Valdes. Her outfits never cease to amaze me. 8) After the short AVP introducing the designers, they showcased the watches through a short fashion show.

I’m not an expert when it comes to watches, so correct me if I’m wrong, but the first set reminded me of Hublot and Panerai designs. 

Valii is available at Anita Chan Jewelry shops located at Shangri-La mall and Rockwell Power Plant mall.

I was lucky enough to get a photo with Ms. Anita Chan. :>

Bumped into the De Leon brothers at the event so we decided to take a peek at Salon De Ning before heading to Attica for some drinks.

OOTD:

As you may have noticed, I have a new hairstyle for this event but I only used clip-on bangs to cover my infection/scar. Brilliant, huh? ;)

Flowy Dress- Soiree~ Someone from Lifestyle Asia approached me just to ask where I got this. XD

Pochette- Louis Vuitton; Satin Leopard Pumps w/ zigzag sole- TonicBagsShoes

The New Brand Ambassadors of ASUS

Congratulations to Valerie Chua, Crissey Si, Vince Golanco and DJ Arbie Won for being chosen as the new Brand Ambassadors of Asus Philippines. So proud of my girls!!

Last May 24, Asus launched their Eee Pad & K Series Notebook at Palladium Club, New World Hotel. I arrived a bit late because of the heavy rain + traffic so I missed the first half of the program so I have nothing much to blog about. ;_; Here are a few photos taken by Orvin using my *crappy camera* (yes, I need to get a new one asap.)

Val demonstrating the Eee Pad.

Crissey looks like a leetol kid here. :))

Bumped into an old friend, Professional Photographer Normal Lleses. I used to work with him a lot when I just started out as a hobbyist.

By the way, look closely: I’m wearing BLUE EYELASH MASCARA. *u*

L-R: Orvin, Val, Crissey, Me & Irene (photo: Crissey)

Irene and Val are both my high school classmates. :>

My outfit: Black tube & Harem pants that I mixed together to look like a 1-piece ensemble. The accessories were lying on my table so I just grabbed them in a hurry since I knew I was late. I found the bag in my mom’s closet. She got it during the 80’s but it was still brand new when I *nabbed* it. :))

Had late dinner w/ the girls at Recipe in Greenbelt 5. I look so haggard. Post-office-stress look. 

For more info about the new ASUS Eee Pad & K Series Notebooks, visit Valerie Chua & Crissey Si’s blog. :)

A Princess’ Dream Come True: Etude House Opening Party


This, this is what I call my Korean Wonderland. I feel like a little girl going crazy inside a candy store!
I was so happy when the Gondo Girls and I got an invite to the private opening party of the bigger and better Etude House. We got to check out the place, enjoy the food and pastries and shop before the big crowds came in.
 


Yummy marshmallows coated in pink white chocolate.


I wasn’t able to try their cupcakes because I was busy taking photos and testing all the products in sight.

Too cute to open ~ Etude House chocolate bars!
I invited one of my good friends, Bianca. I’m so glad I was able to convince her to switch to Etude House makeup & skin care during the event. 
Also present were the beautiful *twin towers* Gondo Girls, Val & Feanne.


We spent the whole morning testing their products. We baptized all the testers. Hurrah! XD The first thing I grabbed when I arrived was their Miss Tangerine Follow Me lipstick. We were lucky enough to have all MT products available and on display!


My fave EH product: Precious Mineral BB Cream. Now with a new long-lasting, non-grease formula! Gotta get one as soon as I run out.


Party in a box ~ Perfect makeup set for party princesses!


My first time to see this product. I wonder what it does to your skin? *so curious*


My current daily sun protection and UV base.
You have to give this product a try. It works instantly!


I went wild when I saw their bubble hair dye!! I bought a few boxes from EH Thailand only to find out that they already have stocks in Manila for a low price of P378 only. (!!!) The shelf was wiped out at the end of the day so girls, as soon as you see this in the store, hoard, hoard, hoard!! :))

My girls and I posing with their Mini-me Body Perfume mist. Thanks Val (http://quietgirl.net) for taking such lovely photos.


^This girl did my nails. I think she was in awe at how tiny my nails were. *awkward*


We had the chance to take a sneak peek at some unreleased items.


Their deodorant line is so cute. HANDS DOWN (or up) to the name and design! Can’t wait for it to be out in the market!! :)

Yey for another photo op with Ms. Andrea Amado, the President of Etude House Philippines.


I think I was the most excited person in the room when the Missing-U mascots arrived. *kiddie moment* I’m so happy I was able to take a photo with each animal. <3
Lookie, Bianca is acting like a penguin too. :))


Last group photo w/ Ms. Andrea. We kept delaying our exit because the place was too cute to leave.


Whee I feel like a kid again. :)) If you’re wondering what my Etude House Haul was for that day, ^points 3 big bags^ come back to my page for my follow-up entry. You can also hype this look at my Lookbook.

So, were you able to attend the Opening Party too? Share your princess experience too! :)

The new Etude House shop is located at Megamall Building B, Upper Ground Floor near Jollibee and SM Supermarket.

Forever 21 Makati VIP Launch


Forgive me for posting this late. This is the last of my event backlogs. Whew!! From now on, I’ll be imposing a maximum of 7 days to post an event review. XD Here are some photos from the VIP Launch, held last April 7 at SM Makati.
 
As usual, I went with my pseudo-neighbor/ event partner/ friend, Val (http://quietgirl.net) to support our fellow Gondo Girl, Tricia Gosingtian, who is one of the Brand Ambassadors of Forever21. (http://triciawillgoplaces.tumblr.com)
We got first dibs of the shop and spotted a few people along the way too..
Danah and Stacey Gutierrez ~ The cutesy twin-duo fashion bloggers (The Plump Pinay). They are first Brand Ambassadors of Forever 21 Plus Size. I was so proud when I found out because I used to go to the same college with them.

I&#8217;ll be there so don&#8217;t hesitate to say hi! I&#8217;ll be in long curls, in a pink chiffon blazer. XD
