Aside form bongga talaga sya sa ginagawa nya, but it’s rare to see people who can be passionate with what they do and yet kaya nya hindi maging slave driver which makes working with him super saya.

Every man’s dream fulfilled: The Axe Anarchy Raid is here!

For the man’s man, only a few things on this earth can prove as exciting as the thrill of the hunt. Axe pumps up the pleasure of the predator-and-prey pursuit with the Axe Anarchy Raid, the metro’s hottest game of cops-and-robbers that features 100 of the Philippines’ sexiest ladies chasing a hundred ordinary guys for a two million peso cash prize, to be held on June 9 at Eastwood Plaza, Libis.

The Axe Anarchy Raid is open to all men of legal age who are bold enough to be part of the 100 contenders. Playing the role of robbers, the shortlisted men will be handcuffed and assigned a number. The ladies will play the role of cops and will also be assigned certain numbers each. Braving a host of wild obstacles and challenges, the “cops” must hunt down the “robber” with the same number as hers. The first pair to make a successful arrest will clinch the coveted prize in this no-losers game of fun and adrenaline-filled pursuit.

The explosive event is presented by Axe Anarchy, the first fragrance from Axe for both men and women. With its stimulating scent that fires up the senses, Axe Anarchy releases uncontrollable appeal in every hunk and babe and takes attraction to a new level.

Give in to the new order of insatiable attraction. Try out the new Axe Anarchy and join the year’s most exciting high-stakes chase. Check out www.facebook.com/axephilippines for more details and watch out for updates on the list of female celebrities who will enlist in the hunt.

D: KALURKEY! Ang daming datung and plus narin yan sa mga gustong ma-label na HABULIN ng babae! Kakaibiganin ko na nga mga security guards at maka-set na nga ng mga traps! hahaha! Gow guys! Hope to see you there!

RAYBAN LAUNCH! @annecurtissmith @maxenemagalona

Wed, 16 May 2012 20:50:00 +0800

FINALLY! Gosh, self-confessed addict akitch sa Ray-ban. The facial shape kasi very unique (choz!), sige.. hindi ko na papagandahin.. mahirap sya hanapan ng shades. So I can be very picky about the shapes and types of shades I wear. In short, yung classics pakak sa akin.

So when I got the call that magiging ambssador ako for RAYBAN…. ABOUT TIME! choz! haha! V and I have been collecting Ray-bans to the point na we have multiple shades kasi ayaw ko magshare.. ang laki ng ulo nya. choz!

Before ng launching ko (launching daw oh! haha), We dropped by the Ray-ban office! Ang bongga coz they carry a lot of brands but syempre dun na ako kung saan ako hiyang! haha!

We also saw the goodies they were preparing for the launch!

ANG CUTE!!! Gusto ko mangdekwat ng isa. choz!

They brought us to a room. MAYYYY GALLLLYYYY! Rayban heaven! As in pati yung mga hindi ko na-sisight sa store andun! May ala safe pa sila na ganap!

Look at the numerous wayfarers! This is one of my faves. Bongga sya nakaka-rockstar! And bongga syang may color! D ka mukhang clown!

I zoomed in sa white shades na itich but medyo new wire chuchu sa side!

I love! Miss Minchin ang peg! Unfortunately, someone took my shades sa Bora. huhuhuh :( So buti may remembrance ako na photo. Paglapag ko lang, nawala na! Kalowka! ANG BILIS HA!

V is now into the marbled brown chuchu. KERI! Mahihiram ko! haha!

Hello, white shades :(

Nakakaloka sa dami! Ang hirap mamili! But what really caught our attention is the boca line! CUTENESS! Wayfarers na may bonggels na print! Bongga sya sa cool factor! Nabibili na ang coolness! choz!

After a good 2 hours or so, baka pabarangay na nila kami sa tagal. haha! We are ready for the launch!

Lookie! Saw Crystalle in the event!

I love how Crystalle’s always glowing!

Max is also a Rayban Ambassador!

Haliparot na Nyko!

Super blockbuster hit ang event. It’s good na kahit traffic, we got there in time! Escort kami sa 3rd floor because we will be presented as RAYBAN’s new ambassadors!

Chillin with the Rayban girls! Inavail ko pa talaga yung game! I won a shirt… or pinagbigyan nila ako. haha!

Super successful event coz they are all so hardworking! Best in asikaso :) SO happy to work with them!

Sabi ko WIN-nie Monsod ako eh!

Kean was also there! Ambassador din sya! :)

Ayaw tumigil, promise d ako nandaya! haha! Dinadasalan ko lang! Haha!

D + V

My super fave shape.. AVIATORS! Lakas maka-mowdel!

ELY BUENDIA is also part of our batch!

Gaganti ako.. spotted! Haha! Stylebible group!

NEVER HIDE!

RAYBAN!

The new gen of Ambassadors for RAY-BAN! Sorry kung kanino man toh, i borrowed from google. haha! Thank you!

For more chikahan!

With sweet Nikki!

Ok, check out D+V collection!

Actually, halos similar lahat ng shape ng Raybans namin coz our face shape is similar.. masmaganda lang akin. choz!

SQUARE SHAPE: means parang same yung dimension ng jaw and forehead. very Demi Moore ang peg! Strong Jaw!

I think you can go for a LARGE wayfarers. Since safe naman ang wayfarers for strong jaws.

Mukhang celeb fave din sya!

For OVAL shape: means na medyo squarish but may pointier chin. More prominent

I think bongg yung clubmaster. May cool factor na parang very musicfest.. or feeling ko lang. haha!

For HEART SHAPE… IKAW NA! Kahit ano girl, kahit duling ka bongga ang facial shape mo. Hindi namimili!

So think you can play around with funkier shapes like this! Kahit ano! Pakak!

Then of course the round shape :) Alam nyo naman siguro yung bilog noh?

I think best bet nyo ang AVIATORS. I call this dagdag 10 points! Lakas maka-ganda! Minsan sabi namin ni Milan, lakas makabulag! haha!

Dinaan lang nila sa AVIATORS kaya sila naging pakak! Choz! PROMISE! When all else fails, dito ka na!

Pag walang 5 minutes magmakeup.. memorize nyo na. GOW LANG NG GOW SA SHADES!

Much love,

Since it was a reasonably leisurely day, I decided to have some merienda with D at Sango in Rockwell. I have to admit that I’ve missed this quirky japanese burger joint, so much so that I may have over ordered.

Okonomiyaki dog! Just look at that katsuobushi on top that gives it just the right amount of umami flavor! I also had a master cheeseburger but I scarfed that down before I remembered to take a picture. Oh well, charge it to delicious!

I made these. Haha, not.

Make your own Havaianas! At this point I was already really excited to make my pair of slippers, but of course I was playing it cool. So I briskly walked in (instead of full on charging the first available slipper technician?)

Immediately everyone was served pomelo juice, piña coladas, wine, and various sodas (no, no diet mtn dew Lana) aside from the assorted h’orderves that the wait staff were hawking (for free of course).

sidney probably asking for help with what color combination to get. seriously, it’s hard when you’re given a choice of what colors and studs to get on your slippers.

D with BJ Pascual (bjpascual.com)

my “technician” was Sy, who was super helpful and patient with my odd request of letters.

Yes, my creation will at last come to fruition!

…right after these letters are attached

and voila! I give you my WAVVES x Havaianas “sky blue”/white combination! In case you guys are wondering, Wavves is an American noise pop/surf punk band based in San Diego, California. Alright, they’re an unofficial collaboration but I can at least tell my slippers apart when I hit the beach. No crazy colors but I think it looks summery [sic]. Those little sunglasses are polarized raybans btw. Heh…heh.. um ok.

Congratulations Havaianas!

Sat, 12 May 2012 20:52:00 +0800

Ewan ko ba kung bakit ko ginawa tong post na to. May ma-post lang! Haha! Syempre hindi ko pa iniisip magpakasal no, mga loka kayo! Wala pa talaga sya sa mga plano ko (Unless bantaan na ako ni V sa kakacomedy ko tuwing yung ang pinaguusapan. Haha! Chos lang!) Lahat nang mga girls na engaged ngayon ang iniisip una eh kung anong bonggang wedding dress ang bagay diba? Kaya ayan, nag-post ako nang mga bonggels na options para sa INYO! Hindi sa akin! Hahahaha

ENJOY!

Marchesa - Sa mga pinuntahan kong kasal sa buong buhay ko, eto na ata ang pinaka-common sa lahat. Very very sweet lang diba? Yung tipo na gusto mo lang maging magandang babae sa araw mo? PAK!!!

Monique Lhuillier - Ay bet ko to. Wedding dress pero mukhang couture. Taray no? Panalo to sa mga wedding shots, lakas maka-fashion shoot nito kahit ilagay ka sa basura, ang ganda mo pa rin.

Reem Acra - Para sa mga demure na gustong maging daring sa kasal. Maganda yang efek na may sheer sheer sa legs diba? At may sequins sa top. Nakaka-fresh lang!

Romona Keveza - Tarush nito. Very Sofia Vergara meets Angelina Jolie! Cleavage na may slit pa! Siguradong hindi ka iiwan nang asawa mo sa altar! Choz!

Temperely London - Very dyosa lang ang grecian ha. Simple lang at walang drama. Sigurado ka naman dito na hindi ka madadapa sa pag-lakad mo. Check!

Tadashi Shoji - Bongga naman to sa mga civil weddings. Naalala ko tuloy nung nagpa-kasal si Carrie at Big sa Sex and the City movie. Naiyak lang ako. Choz! Pero yezterday, ganito dapat ang peg sa mga civil weddings. Short, lace, fresh, and fierce! Haha

Jenny Packham - I love this! Gusto ko yung halter design tapos super backless. Minimalist ang peg at nakak-ganda nang figure sya infairness. Bongga!

Oscar dela Renta - KAKALOKA NAMAN TO. Parang hindi wedding ang pinuntahan, SANTACRUZAN ata! Pero aminin, ikaw na talaga ang star sa araw nang kasal mo kasi wala nang mas totodo pa sa belo mo!

Carolina Herrera - FIEEEEEEERCE! Gusto ko din ang idea na naka-suit ka sa kasal mo ha. Tapos yung groom naka-gown? Charot! Hahaha! Pwede din to sa mga kapatid natin na tivoli. Bet to ni Tita Ellen de Generes for sure! Gow!

Vera Wang - PAK NA PAK NA PAK! ETO NA ANG WEDDING KO GOWN KO! Tawagin nyo na rin pala ako sa pangalang RUBY. Kalerkey!

Much love,

The truth about BB creams

Sat, 12 May 2012 11:18:00 +0800

Since our Japan trip, medyo naintriga talaga ako sa balat nila. Hello, d ko papalampasin yan! haha! I know Japanese have naturally clear skin but hindi naman ata lahat pwedeng may GLOW! May secret dito na kailangan ko madiscover. I know medyo katagalan 101 na yang bb cream but eto here’s my review.

I didn’t get to buy a lot of BB creams in Japan because I wanted to research first. OO, kasi demanding kayo. So right after pag-uwi. Hinaggard ko yung buyer ko sa HK! http://shophk.tumblr.com to find me BB creams na bongga ang review.

Sa research ko (ohh, say mo?!?!) BB cream really originated from Europe. It was created to cover and help cover and heal yung mga patients na naglaser, etc and with skin conditions. But syempre, d nagpatalo ang asians and inavail natin toh as beauty product. So here it goes!

Here are the BB creams na ni-review ko.

Lioele (http://shophk.tumblr.com), Skin 79 Super Bb cream (shophk), Oriental with cheek tint included (shophk), Skin79 pink BB cream (shophk), Dior snow (you can buy this in any Dior cosmentics, nagetching ko yung akin sa plane. ShopHK can also get for you) ,Mac BB cream(any MAC store) and of course para sa racoon eyes ko Lancome Bright eyes (Lacome stores-Rustan’s)

Here are their consistencies…

By groups kasi hindi ako artistic, hindi ko alam paano ko kukunan lahat. haha!

All together now! Group shot nila! Todo nyo ang pose. charozcaldo!

The first would be DIOR snow. Bongga naman sya since may SPF50 pang ka-join. The consistency of this is very light. SO kung wala naman kayong sumpa sa fez, bongga na toh since light coverage. Like all BB creams, it can feel a bit oily so bongga parin na lagyan nyo ng powder after. I used this in the plane and in the beach, and naachive nya yung no makeup look na hindi mukhang dry. Healthy skin glow ang ganap. And as for yung color nya, it’s not as white as the usual BB cream na korean or Japanese. medyo may brownish hint sya so bongga sa pinoy.

1st upper left (Don’t worry about the tones of the bb cream, parang nagaadjust naman sya sa skin).

This 2nd one is a cult following in korea. Skin 79 pink bb cream. I specifically ordered this because bongga sya sa oily or combination skin which is for me. Sa mga nagtatanong ano yung makeup ko sa Boracay. Eto yun. Medyo kababaan yung spf nya so i made sure to use sunblock under na ANESSA SPF50(i got thru shophk too. Anessa is a shiseido brand). Kung baga, original BB cream itich. And i super like it. I use it even for Extreme Makeover shoots. It has a powdery finish , pero wag kayong atachiba.. wait for 5 minutes or more to settle. Sa simula talaga mukha kang anak ni Casper the friendly ghost. But it settles after. I use this without powder. Bongga din ang coverage nya, medyo thicker than the usual bb but not as achieve as your studio fix foundation yet :)

Second top left. Masmabilis din sya matuyo. And parang poreless finish kasi very masilya ang peg ng finish nya.

Oriental BB cream with cheektint! I think this is better for normal or dry skin. Pero ang bet ko sa kanya yung cheektint na ka-join. BB cheek tint ang ganap. I used the tint to the beach and daily use. It’s more oily than the pink one but ang bonggels sa kanya is that it gives you that dewy finish. Same covergae as the pink one. Masmatagal matuyo pero keri lang, yun talaga ata yung effect na dewy. If may budget meals ang peg, this is worth it kasi parang best for all skins plus may cheektint pa.

Top layer, 3rd

Matagal na toh sa cosmetics table ko. I first heard about it when SUKI of Mega Magazine (na school mate ko din in highschool) tweeted about it. Syempre, ako pa uto uto, gow bili kagad. I have panda eyes. Medyo ginantihan ako ng mudak since my mom has bumbayin eyes na medyo maitim. So continous search ako for anything that will brighten my under eyes. I like this product. Na-achieve naman nya lighten for fresh makeup, although hindi sya bongga to use with foundation kasi medyo cakey. But kung fresh ang peg pwede toh. Also, check the tone on you. Medyo lighter sya than the other bbs. Ayaw nyo naman magmukhang anemic ang under eye. So go muna sa makeup counter and check. Magikot din kayo then check after an hour if bet nyo pa. Never buy creams ng isahang lagay. Let it settle.

Last top level.

I love this! Promise, i even mentioned this when I did a beauty review. Remember this na no makeup? http://divinemlee.com/post/16271716560/bali during my Bali trip. Yan lang gamit ko na moisturizer. Na-avail nya. It also goes pretty well to be a base so ayun. d ko na ginagamit yung strobe cream ko by MAC. Eto na base ko. I also used this for my laneway post so see the ganap. http://divinemlee.com/post/3043578949/singapore-day-2-laneway

Kung bet nyo glow ko.. CHOZZZ! Yan yun :)

First lower level

This next one has the most coverage i think. Sabi may whitening din daw. But para sa may mga gusto itago at walang Blusang itim. THIS IS IT! haha! Thicker coverage for sure. But everything else very much like the skin 79 with cheektint.

Middle lower level. Sight nyo? Thicker talaga sya.

This last one is recommended by my buyer. Maganda daw reviews so keri. In fair, super moisturizer ang peg nya. For people with extremely dry skin, keri toh. Dewy finish din sya so hindi magmumukhang flakey or makapal yung finish product. And sa totoo lang, sya ang may pinaka EFFICIENT na packaging. Yung skin 79 packaging para kang may bitbit na granada sa bag. haha! In short eto yung all around.

Last one lower level

So ayan ang casting!

One more thing, Jake told me you have to PAT AND DAB when applying bb cream para talagang pumasok sa lines, creases and pores. Masbongga ang arrive. I use bb cream daily of course since aning ako with sunblock parin. But this is really nice na pang daily since i feel bare pag moisturizer lang. Keri nya yung no makeup look!

Sabi ng bloggers bongga daw yung Chanel CC cream. It’s just available in China so I ordered thru ShopHK na (pangalan nya lang yun, but she orders from everywhere, based lang sya in HK). Balitaan ko kayo dun. Excited!

Much love,

D: Since I am not the best one to review earphones, nagpatulong na ako. Bongga ni V! In depth! Sakin basta may tunog keri na! hahaha!

So here, check out Urban ears, yan ang gamit ko ngayon. I try to avoid kasi yung mga wires dahil nagugulo yung buhok ko. hahha! Buti pa toh, double purpose na headband!

Much love,

Urban Ears Tanto. These minimalistically and well designed scandinavian headphones feature brushed aluminum accents and a matte painted metal adjustable headband, which go very well with the rubbery like plastic (reminds me of resin) that give the whole package a very quality feel. Man, I just love any type of audio equipment!

great packaging

Since these portable headphones are also so sleekly designed, one will also notice that these do not completely seal off the wearers ear. I find this perfect for our warm weather and for more prolonged usage. As holistically as these headphones were designed, one may still easily easily discount, at first glance how well engineered they are. I tested these with a bunch of songs including:

Safari Disco Club by Yelle

Bad Kids by The Black Lips

and

Love Out Of Lust by Lykke Li

I imagine the urban ears design team test their headphones with at least one Lykke Li song since the Swedes really seemed to love her last time I was there. A taxi driver even started playing her then newly released album (Wounded Rhymes) on his iPhone (connected to car stereo) upon learning that I was a big fan of hers and recommended I check out Södermalm (also know as SoFo) which is the hip, trendy yet unique and charming area of Stockholm known for their boutiques, art galleries, and vintage stores. Alright, going back. I’d say the headphones are pretty well rounded and suitable for a number of genres, I highly recommend these for the casual and even avid listener.

1 year premium warranty (which I imagine will come handy when you need to replace the foam from wear and tear) microphone and remote capability for cellphones, round braided cord for tangle free listening, super lightweight design. all for Php 1,950
