Entice The Salon: A Makeover

Right before my Black Beauty Ambassador shoot, I was invited to get pampered at a newly opened salon called Entice The Salon by William Wong in Gold Loop/ Pearl drive near UA&P. 

The place looks really modern and is very “homey” and comfy. I didn’t notice that I was there for over 8 hours because I felt so relaxed the whole time! (Obviously, who would mind the time when getting pampered, right?)

Verniece had her makeup done by their guest makeup artist from Singapore. Occassionally, the salon hires makeup artists abroad to hold seminars for their staff and do makeup for special people like V. Bongga! :)

She really looked like a doll after getting her hair and makeup done.

I on the other hand was ashamed to stand beside her because I looked so stressed and ungroomed. It was a really busy time for me so I wasn’t able to go to a single salon in over a month! :|

They started my makeover the other way around: from toes to my head. I love the girl who did my maniped!! She really did a clean job plus she gives great massages!! Angela (Lush Angel) also told me that she almost fell asleep during her back massage. Teehee. I hope they still have the name of the girl in my record. Wouldn’t want to try anyone else there!

Martha (Beauty Junkee) was having her hair colored while I had my nails done. I’m so amazed at their tools. Look at the steamer being used on her hair~ It’s not the traditional boring one that looks like an astronaut’s head. (For the lack of a better description) :D

Now, here’s the Master at work.. William Wong! The moment he touched my hair I knew that my hair was in good hands. I had lots of requests because I had a hair shoot the following day:

  1. Don’t cut too much but remove the dry parts.
  2. Remove the bad dye job (ugly bleach) found in between my hair without making it look short.
  3. Add volume.
He was able to do exactly as I requested. Instead of chopping off all of the dry parts, he cut from inside (hidden parts) so that my hair will still look long but with short strands hidden inside to give it more volume. I’ll probably just come back for him to finish the job and remove all the bleached parts.

After my haircut, his assistant did my hair. Don’t I look like a kontrabida (villain) in this photo? ;))

Here’s how it turned out! Back view first to add more suspense! :))

William uses Japanese techniques in hairstyling so he loosened the curls and used wax so they would look natural on me.

Here’s my BEFORE & AFTER:

From ex-convict to exquisite! CHOS. :))) This is one of the very few photos that I allowed myself to be taken without any product on so everyone can see the difference.

Here’s a closer look at what CHASTINE of Entice Salon did for my makeup. I love how they shaped my eyebrows and contoured my nose. I would definitely hire him if I had a photoshoot.

Thanks again, William Wong, for prettifying us! ‘Til our next visit!

Catwalk Cosmetics Summer Workshop + June 2012 schedule! :D

Here’s a quick recap of our Makeup Workshop last April 21 and 28 with special guest fashion bloggers, Vern & Verniece Enciso! :)

All students got to take home a Catwalk gift bag with loads of goodies.

So glad I found these kitty stationaries. I hope I can still find more of these for future classes. XD

The highlight of the goody bag were these handmade makeup peanut butter cupcakes from SugaRush Cakes!

Will post more photos and a review about their yummy treats soon!

We started with a skin care talk using 2 of my favorite brands:

Garnier Pure Active for skin care and..

Nivea Sun for Sun Protection and Angel Star body lotion to keep your skin moisturized this summer.

After the skin care talk, Dr. Janna of Freshlook Contact Lenses taught the students the proper way of taking care of their contact lenses and how to wear them.

It was the first time for most students to wear contact lenses.

It only took minutes for Vern & Verniece to place in theirs.

Ta-dah! Hazel eyes! So gondoh! <3

Now here’s the fun part~ makeup application!!

Thanks to Tonic Bags & Shoes for the leopard print makeup kits. It’s so tiny but all of our makeup could fit in it!! :D

Here’s their work station filled with Etude House products. The students got to keep the cute pink brush set too! :D

Verniece putting her game face on. What a cutie pie!

Vern was such a sweet big sister by helping Verniece out with her makeup. 

The result:

 

Verniece was in awe with the ‘doll eye technique’ I taught her. Makes her look even more doll-like than how she already is without any makeup. XD

Vern’s favorite part was learning how to draw and shape her eyebrows!

So happy that most of my students became good friends after my class. ;D

April 21 class

April 28 class

Here’s what they got in the goody bag. Others went home with a Catwalk Cosmetics Runway palette too! Thanks for the photo Vien! :D

Catwalk Cosmetics Summer 2012 Makeup Workshop Schedule + Special Guest Bloggers

Our schedule for this April is a bit tight, I know. The first session is 10 days from now so I’ll be giving a special price for April 21 if you enroll with the special discount code from our special guest fashion bloggers. (Read on to find out who!)

You can choose between two dates: April 21 or 28. Both are Saturdays and classes run from 1pm to 5pm at a private studio in Pasig City. We want to avoid people showing up unexpectedly so we will only email the complete address after confirmation. :)

*For inquiries or reservations: 0917-8929289

There are 2 options/ packages for the class:

  • Package A: Inclusive of Makeup brush Set + Gift bag worth over P2k. (Price: P3,500)
  • Package B: Makeup Brush Set + Gift Bag worth over P2k + Catwalk Cosmetics 18 Color Runway Palette worth P1,100 (Price: P4,250, save P750 on the palette)

Beginners are VERY MUCH WELCOME. In fact, you don’t need to own any makeup because all materials will be provided by Etude House Philippines. You will get to use the latest and hottest products from my favorite Korean Makeup brand! :D

Prior to makeup application, I’ll discuss the proper skin care routine using Garnier Pure Active products. It’s perfect for our hot weather right now because acne usually appear when we sweat a lot.

Of course, we also need the proper sun care to protect our skin from the harmful rays of the sun using Nivea Sun products.

Aside from the skin care routine, we’ll be having Freshlook Contact lens’ Dra. Romualdez to teach us the proper way to wear and take care of contact lenses.

You’ll see that you don’t have to put your eyes at risk by using cheap giant circle lenses to achieve the “Korean look”. :>

ALL STUDENTS will get to take home goodies from all the brands mentioned above plus Dove Hair products,

Tonic Bags and Shoes Gift Certificates and..

Extreme Finds Accessories Gift Certificates.

And last but not the least, everyone gets to take home makeup cupcakes from SugaRush Cakes & Pastries! I still can’t get over the Angry Birds makeup kit cake I got for my birthday last year. haha :)

Now, let me introduce to you 2 pretty ladies that will be participating in our workshop..

Meet Vern and Verniece Enciso! :) They’re one of the top fashion bloggers in Manila today and I sort of have a *girl crush* on them. Heehee! I hope they don’t get creeped out after reading this! :)) But c’mon, they look like porcelain dolls!! :D

They will be joining us on APRIL 21 (Sat) so if you’re an avid reader of their blog, here’s your chance to spend a day with them and learn the basics of skin care, contact lens care and makeup application. 

I guarantee you, it will be a fun-filled afternoon with Q&A’s, picture taking and meeting new friends. Slots are limited to send your FULL NAME & E-MAIL ADDRESS to 0917-8929289 to reserve a slot.
