This is the beauty contest that alot of barkadas would be thrilled to join and win for!

Following the hit campaign Pantene’s Most Beautiful, Pantene has launched a contest, “Dare To Be Most Beautiful,” open to girls of four, to imitate the post of the Most Beautiful, or do their own creative version!

Won’t it be a confidence booster to join? Everyone is beautiful in her own way, and I think that this would be so much fun as friends do something together like have a photo session to join this contest!

Winners go to Boracay ( my kind of thing! ) So, who’s joining?

For mechanics, go to the Pantene’s Most Beautiful website!

Charlene Lu, a friend of mine, has gone a long way, since the moment I met her when she first tried mineral makeup, then went on pursuing makeup artistry ( and being good at it ), selling mineral makeup and brushes, and now, launching her own skin care line! This beauty maven makes me proud! And I am more than happy to present to you her skin care line, Skin Hour.

Check them out and hope to see you in one of these dates!

Now that summer’s almost over, some of us would want to go back to our fair selves. Or also, some of us would want to even our skin tones and scream “flawless.” Glutathione has been all the rage because aside from its big boost of antioxidants that is beneficial to the body, it also makes the skin lighter, and more even, as a “side effect.” ( some just love that “side effect!” ). Most glutathione that I’ve seen is in the capsule form, and it’s the first time that I’ve encountered a skin care line devoted for it.

Say hello to Gluta White & Firm. This skin care line uses glutathione in its premiere strength combined with L-Carnitine ( a compound that helps burn fat ), Lipofirm, and Clair Blanche ( a unique fusion of 7 active ingredients known to inhibit melanin formation ) to obtain maximum benefits to the skin such as whitening, and giving the skin a supple, healthy young glow. The line promises to whiten as early as two weeks.

Yesterday, the opening ceremony of the much-awaited Philippine Fashion Week was held at the SMX 3 Theatre at the Mall of Asia. Of course, your favorite beauty bloggers and fashion bloggers are most present there!

Fashion, together with makeup are expressions of creativity. Looking at the models strut the runway further relaxes the eyes, as one indulges in enjoyment looking at pieces of creativity all brought to reality from the once vivid imagination.

Stay tuned for updates from our fellow bloggers in the next few days! Head over to StyleManila.com for your latest fashion updates as well!

Last April 30, Kikay Kits was very much present in the Blue Water Day Spa event wherein they launched their new endorsers, Marian Rivera and Piolo Pascual. Yeah, not that star-studded. ( hahaha! ). They also launched their new Sahara Oasis Massage and Chocolate Slimming Massage. Twas a very interesting event as the two new treatments were demo-ed in front of the press.

Since bloggers are curious creatures, we were actually in front, in front of everyone! We managed to talk to the svelte beauty Bianca Valerio, the host of the event, for some kikay chat!

Reminiscing my trip to the south weeks ago, one of the most memorable stopovers sure was the Ilog Maria Bee Farm. Being the kikay girl that I am, that place was just paradise for me - being in a roomful of organic health and beauty products just made my day. That day, I bought Ilog Maria soaps in mini sizes to try them to decide which big sizes I will be purchasing via their website as soon as I finish them all.

I’m already on my second bar of their Lavender Honey Soap which, in my opinion, is the best bedtime shower soap, ever. But then, it’s not always night time, is it? We also have mornings that we must pull ourselves our of bed, and indulge ourselves in a morning shower that is energizing, refreshing, and delightful!

Of course, I wouldn’t want my hair to be a mess as I attend the event, and I noticed that my bangs were becoming quite long and nonexistent already, so I opted for a quick stop at Greenbelt 3, at First Aid, to pay a visit to F Salon’s best-kept secret, Rico Gallegos. Remember him? He cut Sasha’s and Phoebe’s hair to perfection.

He first wanted to cut my hair and give it some concave bangs but I think I chickened out with the thought of it. Perhaps not my time yet, eh? Well, I opted for sideswept bangs. I think it made my face look chubbier, but hey, at least my bestbud M won’t be complaining on how thin I’ve been already!

Ready to see the new cut? Let’s have it after the fold!
