Featured as Sigma’s First Rising Star

It was with great disbelief, gladness and excitement (and apparently a lot more feelings) when I read an unexpected e-mail from Jennifer Ditlevson, Sigma’s Affiliate Program Coordinator. She emailed to ask if they could feature me as their first rising star in their newest monthly feature in their blog called “Sigma’s Rising Star”.

“…we think you would be a great fit! Your YouTube channel shows a lot of potential not only in the Philippines, but worldwide as well.” 

What an honor. 

This is truly another milestone in my career. I never expected I’d even be featured in the Sigma Beauty Blog! My journey with Sigma has been really beautiful. Ever since I received the very first complimentary Sigma F80 gift (Sigma F80 review here), up to this moment where I actually already have everything in my Sigma wish list—I’m just really happy. The only thing I could do before was to add their products in my wish list cart, but now Sigma made everything come to life. This is just really overwhelming and humbling.

Thank you Sigma, for your unending trust in my blogs and videos. Continue beautifying the world with your amazing products!

Clubbing Makeup Look for Pinays

I told you I’d be back with another Tagalog tutorial! This time, it’s a look that is perfect to wear out when clubbing & painting the town red. Experimenting with makeup looks for the nighttime is the most fun because there are endless combinations of different textures, shades, and colors of eye shadow that would really make you stand out from the crowd. It also takes effort to make our makeup look really nice in flash photographs! Did you know you can even achieve such a look using local branded makeup [from the Philippines]? This tutorial will show you how to do it and standout from the crowd!

1. Do your usual foundation and brow routine
2. If you want your makeup to last, adding primer would be a good idea
3. Start off by applying a base color (any shade of white/beige) on your entire lid area
4. Take a purple shade and run this along the crease, creating a V shape towards the outer corner of the eye
5. Take a black shade and darken the outer corners of the eyes
6. Blend the edges
7. Take the purple again and apply on the crease
8. Using a liner brush and a black shade, line your lower waterline; create a shadow guide of a cat eye
9. Using a liquid liner, line your eyes all over. Outline its shape. Go through the inner corners of the eyes and wing it out towards the tear ducts slightly
10. Take a black eye pencil and tightline
11. Apply a sparkling white/silver cream E/S on the center lid area up to the inner corners of the eyes
12. Set the cream highlight with a silver shimmering eye shadow
13. Re-do your liner
14. Curl your lashes and apply mascara
15. Contour your face
16. Apply blush
17. Apply a hot pink lip color

TRAVALO Excel Giveaway (Internationally Open)

Who hasn’t heard of Travalo?

I remember watching JlovesMac1 and a lot more famous YouTube gurus make videos about it! I am deeply honored to be able to be chosen by the company among others to host a Travalo giveaway. Truly another milestone.

Travalo has been around for years! It is basically a travel size cologne/perfume holder. We all know how much of a hassle it is to bring around bottles of perfumes in our bags/purses as the glass is really heavy. Same issue goes with people who are jetsetters—people who often travel. With the Travalo, you can bring your favorite perfume in a super fashionable spray container anytime, anywhere! It’s smaller than the palm of your hand, making it really convenient to put in your pocket or your purse.

The Travalo Excel is better than the previous version because now it has more sprays and it comes in a wider variety of colors! Click here to see the designs.

If you know me, the only cologne I’ve been using since fourth year high school is “Blush” by Zen Zest; and now, my first high-end perfume from Charriol called “Show-Off” [thanks to Charriol] I really wouldn’t want to lose Show-Off when I’m out or perhaps break the bottle with everything going on inside my bag! With all this said, the Travalo to the rescue!

Here’s the best part! Travalo gave me the awesome opportunity to giveaway 10 free Travalos to all my readers and subscribers!
