Runner Runner Advanced Movie Screening

The advanced movie screening for Runner Runner courtesy of Nuffnang and Globe
happened last Thursday at Shangri-La Plaza inside Cinema 1 Shang Cineplex.


The Official Movie Poster

Before the movie started, they had a giveaway and the prize was a brand new Huawei Ascend P6 from Globe.

There was also a booth where you could have your Instagram photos printed out as polaroid shots. Lol

All of us were also treated to a free snacks and beverage!

Inside the cinema, they got to announce the lucky winner of the giveaway. It's funny because I kept telling my friend that I'm gonna win, but all along the winner of the giveaway was just sitting next to me! Lol

Good thing was, no one left empty handed because they gave away lootbags for everyone!

Sad to say, the movie wasn't as "thrilling" as I expected.
Perhaps, the last movie I watched was Confessions during Eigai Sai so I didn't find the movie as exciting. Then again, maybe that's just me. I think I watched too much gorey movies lately.

However, if you're a big Justin Timberlake fan. Go ahead! This movie is for you!

Thank you Nuffnang Philippines and Globe for a truly entertaining and well-organized event!

Physiogel: An Extraordinary Way to Moisturize!

At first, the brand Physiogel was very foreign to me. 

However, I got to know more about Physiogel thanks to Kris Bansuelo's BDJ Box Beauty Social talk.

After the event, I finally got my hands on my very own Physiogel Intensive Cream.

I must say, it really works well on dry areas, especially on my hands and heels. 

Ideal for the very cold weather now since the ber months are fast approaching as we speak.

So what makes Physiogel an extraordinary way to moisturize?

Physiogel moisturizes using a high level of natural lipids in a unique Derma Membrane Structure (DMS) base for long lasting hydration of moderately dry to very dry, irritated and sensitive skin. The DMS base, used uniquely in Physiogel products, is made up of natural lipids similar to the skin's physiological lipids.

A little goes a long way. I tried a pea size on my heels at night and they were still moisturized in the morning. Awesome.

I was curious as to the other products they offer so I ended up joining their contest at Facebook.

Guess who won a 1,000 php worth of Physiogel stuff? Yey!

Here's my entry. I know. Hahahaha. It's embarassing.
I only had 7 votes. Not really into the fb liking contests nowadays.

So I went to GlaxoSmithKline at Magallanes to claim my prize.

Not bad for a consolation prize, right?

What's inside?

From L-R: Physiogel Cleanser, Physiogel Lotion, Physiogel Intensive Cream, Physiogel Cream and a Travel-sized Physiogel Cleanser. 

 I have yet to try how well the Physiogel Cleanser fares against other cleansers. 

But I'm reserving that for another blog post.Hehe

How about you guys? What's your take on Physiogel?

Celeteque DermoScience

Celeteque DermoScience believes that to keep our skin perfectly healthy, 

we must analyze our skin type to determine how to solve your skin problems.

 As they said, there is science behind beautful skin.

A few weeks ago, Celeteque was generous enough to supply 1000 of their Facebook fans with some of their products. All you have to do is to be one of the first 1000 answer their trivia questions correctly. 

3 of which will get a win a bigger lootbag.

When I found out I was in the list of winners. I was so excited because I couldn't afford the ones in Sample Room. I only had 104 points. Lol. I should definitely opt for VIP soon.

Here's the lootbag... Getting the lootbag was sort of confusing. I thought that the office I should go to was near Teleperformance in Mandaluyong. Apparently not. They had another office a few blocks away which was the designated place for claiming of prizes. Wearing heels was not a good idea.

From L-R: Celeteque Anti-Wrinkle Ultra-Hydrating Cleansing Oil, 

Celeteque Soothing Lip Balm, Celeteque Eye Tuck plus Dark Circles Lightener.

First of all, I'd like to say that the Cleansing Oil is indeed powerful. It removed all the gunk on my face especially my eye makeup which was really difficult to remove. I tried Human Nature's Cleanser and Makeup Remover with my waterproof eyeliner and it doesn't seem to budge.

The Soothing Lip Balm was awesome. It was similar to my Carmex Click Stick except it feels a bit lighter on the lips. The cooling effect is not too overwhelming as Carmex. I could not say much if my lips will get lighter due to the Mulberry extract since I am not using this as often. What I do not like is the packaging. I hate tubs. They are unhygienic to use when you stick your fingers there. I hope they'll change its packaging.

For the Brightening Eye Tuck, I cannot say much about the product since I am currently using Human Nature's Sunflower Beauty Oil on my eyes at night. But I do love how easily the product gets absorbed by my skin. Unlike the lip balm, the packaging for this one is awesome. The product is dispensed well with the tube. I'll give this one a shot. I might try this at the morning, though.

BDJ Power Planner Random Loot

Honestly, my first planner was not a BDJ Power Planner. 

I was even hesitant to buy one considering most prices for planners are around P300-P400. 

Pretty steep for a student, right?

This all changed when I attended my first BDJ Fair. 

Long story short, I was converted into a Bella. 

Best decision ever.

Here's some of my recent loot from BDJ!

Freebies from the events not included

From the coupons:

From L-R: Kolours Luster Ammonia-Free Hair Dye, SkinWhite Advanced 3 in 1 Whitening Face Cream Powder, SkinWhite Advanced Whitening Lotion, Hygienix Hand Sanitizer & Vitress Hair Repair Cuticle Coat
.

From the BDJ Blog Promo:

From L-R: Shiseido White Lucent Power Brightening Mask, 

Hydro-Nourishing Softener and Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam.

From the BDJ Survey:

From L-R: BDJ Forget-Me-Not Ideas Journal and Cash Tracker

How about you fellow Bellas? What's the most awesome thing that you've got from BDJ?

Lucky Bella~~

I'm so sorry! I promised that I'll attend the Meg 15th Anniversary Party but didn't because my plus one refused to show up so I had no one to help me go there. I think I've been tortured enough because I kept seeing everyone's posts on how awesome it was and yes, I really missed out. *sigh*

But I shouldn't lurk of sad thoughts because I found out a few days after that 

I won Belle de Jour's WYWTTT Blog Giveaway! Woohoo!

Either I am extremely lucky or that I'm officially spoiled by Belle de Jour Power!

Feel like missing out? Go and invest in a BDJ Planner I'm telling youuuuu!

I think they still have them on sale for 25% off.

 So you should go buy one because 

IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT. 

Yes, in capslock. For more emphasis.

How about you guys? Any lucky things that happened to you this week?

Kutis Ng Bata - Alagang Derma Year 2

Everyone knows that Cetaphil cleansers are the absolute best! 

I personally use this as a makeup remover when I'm feeling a bit too lazy.

 Last May 5, I went to SM Megamall for their yearly event 

organized by the Pediatric Dermatology Philippines.

At first I was like feeling a bit too hesitant because the event starts at 11AM and ends at 8:30PM.

I was thinking, I'm definitely gonna get bored here! Well, these proved me wrong indeed!

First Magazine Feature

Remember this post from last last month?
Finally saw my photo in Cosmopolitan's May Issue. :D

To add to my happiness, Pantene was even generous enough to give us a giftpack.

Here's what I got:

From L-R: Pantene Color & Perm Shampoo, Pantene Color & Perm Conditioner and  two pieces of Pantene 3-Minute Miracle Treatment.

Perfect for my totally dried up hair due to excessive hair treatments.
Honestly, I really like Pantene's Color & Perm Shampoo. It's smells really good and it does the job. I've also noticed only minimal fading after my last dye job. The conditioner on the other hand is okay but needs to be more thicker. But that's just me. Can't wait to try the 3-Minute Miracle Treatment.
I'll keep you posted if it's a yay or nay. Hehe

Again, THANK YOU Belle De Jour! I'm one heck of a pampered Bella!

Meg Magazine on it's 15th year!

I scored invites to Meg Magazine's 15th Anniversary Party!
Perfect birthday gift, right?

What's more exciting is the attire for this event... Military Glam!
Can't wait!!! I hope I still have the time to look for clothes. Huhuhu!!

Free Comic Book Day 2013 @ Fully Booked

I did not expect such an overwhelming amount of people in there! Seriously!
I dropped by 9:40am and the mall was still closed. As soon as they let the people in, those die hard fans ran like hell to Fully Booked. I was lucky, someone wanted to change comic books so I got the last copy of Archie! Hahahaha!

Here's the photos I got for that day. Again, thank you Fully Booked for the free comic book!

Lucky to be a Bella!

I've recently joined some of BDJ Box's contest and giveaways.

 Pantene Color and Perm

BDJ Box Beauty Social Blog Promo

MEG's TMTTB Tote Design Contest!

I don't know what's up with the month of April, but I definitely sense that my luck is really turning around! 

I just found out about it through browsing who won the Etude Playhouse Contest through MEG Facebook page (unfortunately, my fellow multiply seller Krischia didn't win). 

Backreading through older posts have I found out that 

they've finally announced who won MEG's TMTTB Tote Design Contest. 

I saw my last name (my heart skipped a beat) and I was correct! I did won! My design! It's there!!! :3

I must admit, the other contestants' designs were totally awesome as well and very very creative. 

And the best part? Seeing my design/name at the first ever MEG Summer Party in Boracay!

Thanks again MEG for the wonderful opportunity! ^___^

SLEEPASIL giveaway!

I love SLEEPASIL! My mom suggested me to take some SLEEPASIL when she noticed I had difficulties with my bodyclock. At first I was a little bit skeptical and hesistant when I heard about it. 

Hesitant because i'm not into sleeping pills. It's definitely not good for you. Skeptical because I thought it was just a placebo pill or something that works into tricking your body that you're sleepy or such.

But from what i've read SLEEPASIL contains a unique blend of ingredients (Melatonin, Chamomile, and Valerian Root). Based from research, melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep. (Plus, i've already tried and tested it)

So earlier today, I got this awesome package from SLEEPASIL. 

Here's a peek:



Tadaaaa!















Lucky right? All I had to do was to answer a survey from their Facebook page! :D
Again, i'm not paid to blog this. I'm just thankful I got a free supply of SLEEPASIL. Complete with a pillow and eyemask. This would definitely be useful this summer, because i'm confident that I could easily fix my totally messed up bodyclock when classes start. In just one pop!

Yapo's Giveaway!

I can't believe i'm joining another giveaway but I just can't help it! I've always wondered how a Diamond Lash feels like on my eyelids (because I find most false lashes too heavy).

And based from previous reviews from Yapo made me want them more!

I've seen a lot of her pics rocking that tareme look and i've wanted to try them because for a change.

Anyway. If you are like me, desperate for a pair of DLs you should join Yapo's 200th followers blog giveaway!

All of these are up for grab! Plus a mystery prize. Interesting...

MEG's visit to UP Diliman!

After my MS1 class with Jyasu we walked to Long Island to have our lunch.
While we were walking there we saw this huge tent and a bus. It was MEG promoting Tupperware Brands Color Collection. I've heard raves about their BB Cream w/Gluta so I browsed around.

I'm the one wearing that short grey dress...

MEG Magazine was giving away back issues & lanyards for people who liked their Facebook page.
Pretty cool right? I'm not maarte and I have this "girl-crush" on Lovi Poe so why not?

Muy caliente!

If you haven't seen MEG Magazine's FB page, you should really check it out.

It has useful articles from fashion advice to acads and everything in between.

Whew. So Riya's blog giveaway was for real yo!

I got the prize just now! (Just in time coz my bday is around the corner. Teehee)

Gosh i'm so thankful I got the chance to try this product! Plus, Riya shouldered the shipping. So kind of her! Do follow her on http://pinkstrawberrieloveyum.blogspot.com/ her reviews are good. I wish she'd do a tutorial on how to get those falsies in place. Hehe

Anyway here it is! 1st place baby!

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in No. 23 ^____^

It has a heart on the box. :P



It's really awesome! It's a tinted moisturizer, foundation, sunblock, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, anti-blemish and concealer all in one!

Now I see they aren't kidding about the coverage. It really got the job done on my pores! I just wish it to be a bit darker than it is though. Or maybe i'm not used to the whitish cast seen when taking photos. I dunno. I'll try it out some more. I forgot to transfer the other photos from my camera so i'll update this entry later. Hehe.

Pinkstrawberrielove BB cream giveaway! *UPDATE*

Okaaaaaay. It's been a while since I last updated my site. Really busy with my studies. :|
Anyway, I thought I didn't have any shot winning any giveaway. Alas, I was wrong again!


I'm so excited!!!! I've always wanted to try out any BB cream!
Anyway, i'll update later when Ms. Riya replies. :)
