Last Friday marked the launch of MAC Cosmetics’ latest collection, the Fafi Collection.
Fafi is a French artist who conjures up the most curvaceous cuties –
chick-a-boom characters that make us smile. A Fafi girl is a nymphette with
a Ph.D. in passion – she’s an adventuress with a very animated love life!
From Toulouse to Tokyo, the movie of her life is a rags-to-riches love
story, an electric Technicolor dream in violet, coral and strawbaby anime.
Find her pouting on compacts, preening on packaging, and as the cutest doll
we’ve ever seen – soon to be on every M·A·C lover’s vanity.

I had a fun, relaxing weekend away from the city, but it was made more relaxing with my visit to Ilog Maria Honeybee Farm! I love Ilog Maria’s organic products!
Check out my soap loot! I’ve bought 6 variants, and intend to use them one by one to roadtest! Well, so far, I’ve opened two already! Haha!

Contains Vitamin E Beads which gently burst onto your skin.
To all my kikay readers out there, let me just announce that I have a new favorite hand and body lotion, and it’s the Myra E Hand and Body Lotion!
I was able to try Myra E Hand and Body Lotion one hot summer day in my mom’s room. My mom is such a lotion addict, that she’d jump in glee whenever I’d give her lotions from Marks and Spencer, and recently, I’ve handed my Elizabeth Arden hand cream to her ( which is a cult favorite ), since she loved to collect lotions. I was fresh from a bath, and I became curious with a cute tube that says Myra E. I thought - Myra E has Vitamin E capsules, then they have their facial wash and moisturizers, now, they have hand and body lotions? How cool is that?

Last Friday, I received a surprising IM from a friend, asking me for some beauty advice. Well, here goes her question!
Dear Sophie,
I have a new job right now , and my boss seems to be very particular about image, that she likes seeing me wearing makeup. I’m not the type who wears makeup, actually. What should I do? What do I need to buy? I’d like to save as much as possible and not splurge on makeup.
Love,
C
Dear C,
Well, first and foremost, congratulations on your new job! It seems that your job right now is going to be people-oriented ( PR ) because well, you’d be needing to apply makeup! Don’t fret too much because makeup is not as bad as it seems! Gone are the day when makeup equates to a cakey, powdered geisha look. There are very good makeup brands that offer really flawless and foolproof finishes that it just looks like your skin is very flawless, all even, without a trace that you have makeup on.

Dearest Dee,
Thank you so much for thinking about me and calling me one late night as you were strolling in the airport’s Duty Free area. Thank you, thank you for thinking about me, and getting me this wonderful YSL Touche Eclat. Yknow how much I have wanted one as I have read about it in the book, “How To Walk in High Heels” as the best undereye highlighter slash concealer that gets rid of undereye circles in an instant! I know of all the people, that you know how sleepless my nights could be.

If there’s facial mist for the hair, and body oil for the well, body, there’s always something to soothe the scalp and keep it calm and relaxed. I’ve got the Kadus Mineral Tonic to keep my scalp happy. 
This might just be one of those trips to the salon wherein your stylist would approach you and offer you something to buy from the salon. I got mine from Perfektion Salon, the nearest salon that I could ever go to. It’s located at Banawe street, and the salon’s just above Starbucks.

Last weekend, it was a major shopping spree for me. I spent so much on kikay stuff, and shoes, that I should probably swear off looking at my wallet, or maybe consider having my wallet locked in a safety deposit box so that I would not try to spend again. Oh heck, there’s Gcash. My mobile phone’s in trouble, too.
One very very small part of my loot is my kikay loot.

Because this is the best decision you’ll ever make as you go to the beach - bringing a bottle of Kerastase Soleil Voile Protecteur with you. It has Ceramide, Vitamin E, and UV filters that would be like your hair’s sunblock, and moisturizer at the same time.
