Teaser #1 from Macneil59 of Specktra:

Rose Romance is a spring collection consisting of pink tones (clearly) in eyeshadows, blushes, and lips. I (stupidly) did not get pics or names of the products, but I did see them backstage this season. I also saw colours from the Hello Kitty collection, two of the Hair Mineralize skinfinishes, Blonde and Redhead, didn’t see brunette, and I got to play with the penultimate liner.

Teaser #2 from Janis of Specktra:

I’ve had this confirmed. 100% going to happen, concretely. Just FYI.

Remember Barbie Loves MAC?

Product: Davines Nourishing Vegetarian Miracle Treatment

What it is: A conditioner in cream form that repairs extremely dehydrated and stressed hair. The structure of the hair appears immediately more uniform and the corneal structure well moisturized. Continuous use of the product will prevent split ends and add body and splendor to the hair. Source.

Active ingredients: Hypnea musciformis with restructuring action. Rice proteins with conditioning and restructuring action. Vitamin E with anti-oxidant action. Avocado, as an emulsifier.

Where to get it: Essensuals Toni&Guy, 3/F Crowne Plaza (ambiance is more relaxing vs. the 6750 branch)

Wallet Damage: starts at Php 1400

Overtime, I learned that you can lie to anyone but 3 persons: your dentist, your dermatologist, and your hairdresser. To be perfectly honest with you, your kind comments on this ‘do floored me. Sure, the length is rather good and the color looks apt as well. The touch-feel is also smooth, thanks to blow drying. When Essensuals Toni&Guy’s Technical Director, Paul Ashton saw me though, he said (que horror) otherwise.


The man you wouldn’t want to mess with

He checked my hair through and through: color, shape, and moisture level. Apparently, my hair isn’t just dry, it’s hell stressed (I kind of guessed this though because I’ve been dead stressed and sleepless for weeks). It’s so stressed that it’s falling (waaaaaaa)! He immediately put me through this treatment which I’m supposed to get every two weeks. For healthy hair, once a month is fine together with a routine haircut.

MATTES: 15, Antique Pink. 21, Vanilla Cream. 32, Chocolate.
SHIMMERS: 64, Amethyst. 75, Gold. 88, Black Diamond.

Antique Pink -  A must have for bridal eye work

Vanilla Cream - A great base and eye lid brightener

Chocolate - Looks very much like MAC Espresso

Amethyst - My favorite (at least the ones here) ARTDECO mineral eyeshadow! I wore this last night and I got props from B. *wink*

Gold - I wasn’t supposed to get this but it won me over when I tried it on the corner of my eyelid. :)

Black Diamond - hands down: a chic rock star staple!

Damage: 1.5g = Php 599.75 each

There are 24 colors over their website but only 8 colors are here in MNL (I’ll get the other 2 next payday heehee). Like the signature ARTDECO eye shadows, they glide like butter and last forever! The mattes are never flat and the shimmers aren’t chunky. Definitely 2 thumbs up from The Swiper. ;)
