LipIce Mentholatum for Cracked Lips

I was in Macau recently, and the weather was at 15 degrees... It was COLD!  Especially for someone who comes from a tropical country.

RESULT: Dry, chapped lips.

Fortunately, I was familiar with LipIce, the newest lip product in the Philippine market.   Aside from cutesy lip balms in different fruity flavors, it also has its more therapeutic line called Metholatum Therapy Lipbalm and Metholatum Therapy Lip Gel. 

Must buy for dry, chapped lips

My favorite fruity flavor - Apple

LipIce Fruity Flavors
Apple, Grape Blackcurrant, Strawberry, Lemon and Mandarin Orange
Perfect for everyday!



Mentholatum Lip Balm and Lip Gel are only Php 99.00 and Php 108.00 respectively. Available in all Watsons Stores and SM Beauty!

ART of SCENT... Fragrance Boutique at Resorts World Mall, Newport City



ART of SCENT - the first luxury concept fragrance store in the Philippines! The concept behind the store is to instill in the consumer a deeper appreciation of the nuances in choosing the right fragrance that suits them best, all in a luxurious environment.


The store's facade

Before ART of SCENT, I didn't know much about fragrances... Except that I liked Lancome Miracle and D&G Light Blue (who didn't like Light Blue?). Played it safe and stuck to these two brands until, finally, I got sick of wearing these scents and felt that I needed to try others.

Some people choose their fragrances based on brand names or advertisements, not realizing that these scents belong to fragrance families and that more often than not, we prefer one or two fragrance families over others. 

These fragrance families are divided into four main groups - fresh, floral, woody and oriental.  When ART of SCENT launched, I discovered new scents, namely Lanvin Eclat (purple) and Marc Jacobs Daisy. These belong to fresh/floral families, where both Lancome Miracle and D&G Light Blue belong in as well!


The beautiful store interiors with the products neatly displayed 

The ART of SCENT flagship store is located in the Ground Floor of Resorts World Mall in Newport City, Pasay, Philippines. For more details, you may contact the store through phone number 8467447 or Email them at info@artofscent.com.

Countdown Song: "...Cause Baby You're a FIREWORK!"




HAPPY 2011 everyone!

My New Year's was spent in Macau for the wedding of one of my best friends, Tisha, to someone she knew since birth, family friend Miguel, and in Tali Beach, Batangas with Mons' family and friends, T's family and Alex, my new Spanish friend.

The wedding was lovely, about 200 people flew in to Macau to celebrate with Tisha and Migs! I was a bridesmaid, together with Lisa, Alex, Trish and Nic! I arrived the day before the wedding, had steady drinks with friends, then played in the casino and lost 20HKD!!!! (I don't gamble, so 20HKD is a big deal haha!).

After the wedding, and as soon as we landed in Manila, Mons, Alex, T and I went straight to Tali Beach in Batangas. Tali is wonderful! I love the ocean, and I love the sun, so spending some time at the beach was PERFECT!

And for the countdown, our song was none other than Katy Perry's FIREWORK!

Bring on the YEAR of the RABBIT!
I'm suppose to be lucky this year.. (DOG)

Coz Baby you're a FIIIIIIIIREWORK!
Mons, Dens and Alex dancing to the countdown song!


Looking forward to 2011!
