First BDJ Beauty Box Social Event

Hey girls and boys!!

     It's been a long time since I last posted, imagine, last August pa ung last post ko, damn, I thought that my period of absence was somehow short but I counted the months and gosh, napag lipasan na ako ng 2012 (end of the world daw) :) 

     Anyways, back to business, don't know how I am going to keep up with my blog or if spontaneous ako ulit mag blog post but since i'm free, I mean I have a lot of time to post random stuffs since I'm having my internship lang naman, so there.. (guys taglish muna ako today ha? c: )

     I had the opportunity to go to the first ever BDJ (Belle de Jour) Social Box Event at SM MOA Atrium last March 24. To those who doesn't know, BDJ Beauty Box is a monthly subscription beauty box wherein 5-6 beauty samples are in store for you, sometimes you can get the samples in FULL size for the price of LESS than 500php monthly,and the best thing is it's a surprise, you'll only get to know what's inside of the box if it is already delivered into your door step :) Cool right?

So here's what took place:

 I arrived there past 2pm, still early for my pre-registered talk which will start at 5 and 6pm. I invited my friend to the event, don't worry, she pre-registered din :) She arrived earlier than me so when I got there, I met up with her. 

 So before my talk, I got to roam around the booths and here is the Browhaus and Strip ministry of waxing booth. I was asked if I wanted to have threading for the upper lip, I said no thanks! Haha, just the thought of undergoing that pain, didn't bother to try it since I really have no hair in my upper lip.

Here is my friend Chelsea, she is a beauty blogger, she tried the threading, it's painful but tolerable naman daw :) She super liked it though super fine lang ng hair nea sa upper lip, natanggal pa din :) She saw the difference, happy for you Chels!

These were some of the booths that were present, others gave samples and make-up brands like Revlon did make-up tutorials.

Had my picture taken at the photo booth :)

He's my idol haha, he looks like Archie from the comics, or kasi blonde lang hair nea? :) Me and Chelsea asked for answers in our beauty problems, syempre kasama na ung picture taking :)

Trivia: I learned it from sir Archie Tolentino, make-up artist of Maybelline, the word "Maybelline" came from the owner's sister which is Maybel and Vaseline, so there, "Maybelline", if I heard it right.

 

 How to get that bridal Glow with make-up artist Lilian Yeung of Estee Lauder, there was this portion na when you ask beauty questions at the end of the demonstration you get a token, I was given a small paper bag from Estee make-up, pampa-puno din ng make-up kit ;)

And lastly, my favorite talk with the beautiful Bianca Valerio, ang cool lang nea and I super enjoyed her tricks and techniques, not boring and naka smile ka lang habang nakikinig sa kanya. She was supposed to do a demo pero  some mishap happened to her before she got to this event because her driver accidentally dropped her make-up kit, which means, they're all shattered and broken :( She was crying daw but she recovered naman so instead of doing a day to night glam look, she answered our beauty queries na lang.

 Oh, siya pala ung may ari ng Leg Love sa SM Dept. Stores ;) She also has a make-up line under a Tupperware brand which is Colours :)

Accentuate It

     Wore a very simple top and pants, accentuated it with the use of my bright-colored accessories:

     Got the top the day before the event at SM Sta. Mesa's 3-DAY SALE at Juana, it's so simple and classic, not to mention light and comfy :) Everyone would surely love the delicate details of this top. Since I'm the type of gal who would sport anything as long as it is chic and classy. Juana is such a great store, my mom loves to shop at Juana because it caters to women who are working and those who just wanted to be in trend, that's where I came to know the brand, because of my mom's love for Juana. It has a lot of corporate attire blouses and so much more!

 Top: Juana | Pants: Bench | Shoes: So Fab! | bracelet: Landmark |

| rings: random | Bag:gifted | Necklace: cheapfashionfinds

     Since I don't have the powers to edit these pictures except for the first 2 pics, might as well forgive me ;) This goes to all plus-size ladies to carry themselves and be confident. I for once have my own  insecurities which I cannot drop for goodness sake, I am not that fair and I have a different body type, but believing in yourself is the key :) Loving yourself is a breakthrough to all those insecurities, so be confident, Keep calm and carry on! :)

    Speaking of keeping calm, I am so thankful that the Philippines has survived yet another calamity. It's a heartfelt moment wherein every Filipinos are lending their hands to one another. It employs the "Bayanihan" in each and everyone of us. Suffice to say, I am proud to be a Filipino, which keeps my spirit alive. Everything will be alright, there will always be hope and I'm sure that we Filipinos can face any storm that will come. Prayer is the key. There will be always a brighter tomorrow that awaits us. Be strong and carry on :)

Dermablend: Meet & Greet w/ Gerald Anderson

     Giving-up a day for reviewing my lessons just to attend an event in MOA is a huge sacrifice, but who can blame me for going, aside from the boring process of studying before my Midterms Examination, atleast I can stroll around the mall, meet other bloggers, and of course having the chance to spare some time to see before my very own eyes, Gerald Anderson :)

      I was invited by Joy, who is also a blogger to attend the said event so she can give me the prizes that I won from her giveaway Diana Stalder GC's and of course some products too. Who am I to say no right? So  despite the strong wind and rain, I still went. The event took place at Watsons inside MOA last August 5, I arrived with the people flocking in to the area although there are no signs yet of the prestige actor. Then, after meeting up with Joy and handing me my prizes, a few minutes later, the meet & greet began.

                                                         Gerald Anderson ready to meet his fans!

                                                                     Dermablend soaps

     Fans lined and geared up to have a momentum with Gerald, everyone having their time to take a picture with him. I can see that people really love him because of the people outside the press/media forcing themselves in to glance at Gerald, shouting his name, You can feel the anticipation for them to see him. Guards having a hard time to suppress people because all of them are excited to see Gerald and who wouldn't be excited?

                                                   A girl fan doing a heart sign w/ Gerald :)

                                                                   Gerald have fans in all ages :)

                                      Controlling the crowd, so many fans waited just to see Gerald :)

                                                   with Joy, thanks for the invite!

    

    Ms. Mercedes, PR Consultant, super energetic, I don't know where she gets her energy, super lively like a teenager ;) She's super nice! Haha, the whole event was a blast because of her, she also introduced me to the brother of Gerald, forgot his name, sorry!

                         Speaking of Gerald's brother, Ms. Mercedes introduced me to him, saying that I was a blogger :) We shaked hands and had a picture taken, I hugged him and hugged me back too (must grab the opportunity always!) As what I wrote on FB, i can settle for him instead of Gerald haha! What do you think? Is he cute too?

                   A snapshot of myself while waiting for blogger's turn with Gerald

                             with my ever supportive companion,my man Brian :)

     After waiting, bloggers had the chance to meet Gerald, we were all given a chance to have a picture taking with him :)

     When it was my turn, I quickly went to Gerald and strike a pose with him, Ms. Mercedes introduced me to him saying that I was the winner of Diana Stalder and I am currently studying at San Beda and of course a blogger, Gerald said " Congrats!" and smiled at me, on the 2nd photo take, I hugged him and hugged me back too! Haha he smiled and of course, I asked a kiss from him, of course he gave me a kiss on the cheek (lucky) :P He laughed at the same time, sigh.. I can't explain the feeling, haha Oh well, dream on!
