Nestle Fitnesse Show Off Your Shape Launch | Style Manila - Philippine Fashion, Beauty and Shopping Blog

Last Saturday, I was fortunate enough to have been able to go to witness the launch of the Nestle Fitness Show Off Your Shape Promo. Why fortunate? Apart from hearing things first hand from folks behind Nestle Fitnesse, I got to see the wardrobe that’s up for grabs in person. Hehe.
This launch event was my first stop of three scheduled thingamajigs for the day. It was a great way to start my day — makes up for the fact that I’m actually working on a weekend, gah — since I …

Late Night Topshop-ing | Style Manila - Philippine Fashion, Beauty and Shopping Blog

It took us by surprise when K and I saw the bright lights inside a seemingly open Topshop store in Greenbelt 3 last Friday. Twas half past 11pm you see and the main reason why we were in that area was because we were looking for a place to eat. I guess we got a little side-tracked. We certainly wasn’t expecting we’d be able to go on a bit of late night shopping.
Apparently, Topshop was one of the few who participated in the late night shopping of the said …

MAC Mineralize SatinFinish Foundation in NC30 | Style Manila - Philippine Fashion, Beauty and Shopping Blog

Because I fell in love with the MAC face powder (MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Natural) which I recently bought, I decided to buy the foundation under the same Mineralize line, the MAC Mineralize SatinFinish Foundation, since I’m in the market to get a new bottle of liquid makeup anyway.
Again, I’m still not used to folks telling me that I ought to get certain makeup in shades lighter than I’m used to. I do know that MAC in 30 (shade) will work well with my skin tone and I have to …

Mini Beauty Shopping at The Body Shop | Style Manila - Philippine Fashion, Beauty and Shopping Blog

Early Friday, I had decided to hit a couple of beauty stores before my weekend starts esp since I know my Saturday (yesterday) schedule’s quite full. So, I found myself dragging K yet again in an under-an-hour-shopping trip held in Glorietta.
The main reason why I needed to stop by The Body Shop was the need to replenish my Tea Tree Oil Cover Stick from TBS because mine is about to run out but I spotted a couple of things that I just had to also put in my shopping cart. …

MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Natural in Medium | Style Manila - Philippine Fashion, Beauty and Shopping Blog

This was actually my first stop during that fated Tuesday shopping spree (see Shoe binge post). I’ve been putting my trip to a MAC counter for so long that when I did find myself in Glorietta, I just knew I’m not going to deny my need any longer.
I was in the market for a face powder and I’m curious if MAC had anything good for me to try. Of course, I know that MAC is a trusted cosmetics brand but the question on whether it will suit me (in terms …

The Case of the Shoe Binge | Style Manila - Philippine Fashion, Beauty and Shopping Blog

Twas a Tuesday. A bad day. For the first time in my life I actually took myself to see a doctor. I’m not too keen on the matter. It’s probably due to this thing of having been hospitalised for almost two (2) months when I was 7, countless trips for check ups, medical exams and visits and then, on top of that, a semi-recent experience which involved the ICU (no, I wasn’t the one who got admitted but someone real close). So, there. Need I say more?
Going back to my …

The Ramp’s Top 10 Holiday 2009 Trends | Style Manila - Philippine Fashion, Beauty and Shopping Blog

Torn between sharing this bit of news cuz I really wouldn’t want to be the cause of depleted Holiday bonuses plus the fact that pay day’s coming up. However, how can I not tell you ladies about this?
It’s a brief report on the Holiday 2009 Trends from The Ramp and here’s their list narrowed down to 10 with Teresa Herrera working it to jump start style ideas —

Always. At least, that’s what I believe. Makes an outfit more interesting, creates that personal touch on style, spices up an otherwise boring …
