My skin tone is yellow, but my cheeks are naturally red and gets even "redder" when I am feeling too hot or too cold. I am an avid BB cream user, and even with BB on my face, the red areas turn gray because the redness shines through the BB cream so it is not corrected, just covered.

I am doing an unbiased review on 2 color correcting bases here today (you know -those primers that come in green and purple?) that I have been using for a while now, and so that I can show you also what the purpose of these colored bases are and why they make a good base. Although it is not in their label, this is basically what a CC cream is.

I remember when it just used to be a choice between regular sunblock and waterproof sunblock. Then you choose your preferred SPF: 25, 30, and 45 (this was even rare back then). I remember, it was just Coppertone.

Now, with today's drastic climate change where the sun is hotter compared to 10 or 15 years ago, cosmetic companies have come out with a wide variety of sunblocks that caters to different outdoor activities, and according to your preferred skin treatment!

I am so excited to go on vacay tomorrow for Holy Week and I have been looking for the perfect color for my nails. I don't want to go for the usual neon nail polish color for summer so I resorted for fall colors instead.

I have been receiving a lot of emails lately about HD powders, so I got in touch with 2 brands that are offering HD powders (readers' requests), and make a very objective review based on what my readers want to know about them. I have done an unbiased review today of Krave Cosmeceuticals' HD Powder VS Snoe's Poudre Phenomenon.

I have long given up on tanning. It's useless with my skin type because just three days after I tan, my skin goes back to being fair. So, might as well embrace the natural color of my skin I was blessed with by keeping it protected from the sun to prevent premature formation of wrinkles, and the appearance of sunspots and freckles.

OMG. I received these goodies today and I literally jumped up and down from excitement. The little girl inside me got all excited about Mustela's baby stuff!

It's Sunday once again and instead of doing weddings, I was at the DIOR counter in Edsa Shangri-La doing some one on one makeup consultations for DIOR customers. I did a 4-hour shift talking to different women on how-tos, makeup tips, and product recommendations.

This Sunday, I whipped out my DIOR products and did the DIORSHOW Smoky Eye Look which is basically a very iconic DIOR look.

Before getting into that skimpy red bikini, are you sure your body is 'bikini ready'? And I'm not talking about starving yourself and working out like crazy (I couldn't care less about dieting before hitting the beach! LOL), but seriously, I am more concerned about being, ahem... hair free. *wink*

It is rare that I find a perfume scent that suits me. I don't shop perfume by popularity, I shop by my personality. Out of all the perfumes that are out there in the market today, there are only a handful of perfumes that really complemented my personality.

Blue eyeshadow is being seen anywhere from Mary Katrantzou Spring 2013 runway, to the Grammy's on Nicole Richie. This year's spring summer trend is blue eyeshadow. A powerful and beautiful cool shade can only go two ways, either glam or tacky. So keep in mind these tips on how to sport the look without looking "soooo 80's!"

Sorry ladies, this is a very late post. I thought I posted this already but unfortunately it has been stuck in my drafts since then! I just had to post and share this!

Pond’s celebrates the holidays and partners with PMAP for their 25th anniversary

Pond’s partners with PMAP as they celebrate 25 years of love and support in inspiring and making the Filipina more beautiful. Pond’s have always aspired to enhance the Filipina beauty. Two of the Philippine’s biggest names in Skin Care and in Fashion have partnered to line-up a series of amazing holiday promos, product giveaways, sponsored events, and reunion parties making this upcoming 25th year reunion a night they will never forget.

I was invited to Nutricosia's Endless Collagen Drink event last week, and I have been on their collagen drink since then.

Just being in the drink for a week, I have a lot of people asking me what I was doing because I looked glowing. I haven't changed anything in my skin care regime or used a new product since then so I know it had something to do with the Collagen drink.

Johnson's has been around forever and I have always resulted to their products when body skin is concerned. I am a fan of their body lotion ever since my mom made me try it when I was just in 5th grade. I specially love the smell because it really makes you smell like a baby!

I also use the Johnson's baby line because it's not harmful to the skin specially when you have sensitive skin, and is suffering from mild skin asthma. They're very light so it won't over dry your skin.

Neutrogena/Johnson n Johnson's recently sent me some products to try and they were so wonderful to sponsor this beautiful giveaway for you beautiful people!

#beautylookoftheday

Happy Sunday everyone! Sunday is one of my favorite days to get all dressed and made up. Today this is my makeup look of the day!

NAILS: OPI Nail Polish in Teal The Cows Come Home. LIPSTICK: Chanel Rouge Coco in Gabrielle.

I am one of those women who is gifted with big, unruly, wavy hair. Having silky smooth straight hair has been my frustration, but I have grown a bit fond of my natural hair as I grew older. I figured, I can straighten my hair in the hair salon anyway by having it blown dried straight. I can't do my own hair to save my life.

But going to the salon all the time when I have some event to go to has sort of been an inconvenience because it eats up a lot of my time. That's when I told myself I had to go and teach myself how to straighten my own hair once and for all.
