This Week: Top 5 Picks (Laura Mercier, Dove for Men, Hygienix, Shiseido, Paul Smith)

What a Crazzzzyyy week! The weather here in Manila is sooo crazy and unpredictable just like the Philippine Politics! It makes me (us) sick! 🙂 by the way, on Monday, July 25, 2011 is PNoy’s State of the Nation Address and i wanna feature the best dressed in this occasion. I guess aside from the speech of the President, fashion is a thing to look forward  in this event as well!  i wanna see what the attendees are going to wear and their overall look. I am always fascinated by the Filipiniana dresses because it always symbolizes grace, elegance and beauty. 🙂

 

By the way, here are my TOP 5 Favorites this week 🙂

 

1. Laura Mercier Crème de Pistache Soufflé Body Crème

 

I love this!!! An ultra-whipped scented body crème that provides luxurious all-day moisture protection without being too heavy or greasy. Capturing the essence of creamy pistachio nuts, almond, praline and hazelnut nuances and freshly whipped cream are combined for a rich, luscious experience.

This is sooo heavenly and you will be even tempted to taste it BUT Don’t bother to taste this because its a body cream not a dessert or food 🙂 i remember an incident in Rustan’s where in a lady actually tasted this product. looking at her face, i can see that there is some thing going on with the taste. What happened was, she just ran out of the beauty counter and poof!  gone! 🙂

Price: 2450

2. Dove Men + Care Deodorant Spray

It offers powerful protection and less skin irritation. The spray has the most effective anti-perspirant ingredients combined with 1/4 Dove moisturiser technology. This helps keep your skin healthy, smooth, and itch-free. This one isn’t just about fragrance it also contains advanced skin technology.

3.  Paul Smith ‘Mini on Location’ printed canvas holdall

I love this bag! Paul Smith ‘Mini on Location’ printed canvas holdall with chocolate brown leather handles and trims, finished with gold coloured hardware and the ‘Paul Smith’ signature tab in side seam. NOTE: Bag for Men

AllAboutBeauty: Ever Bilena Extreme Lipstick in Red Romance – a great alternative to expensive RED LIPSTICK brands

 Ever Bilena Extreme Lipstick in Red Romance

This beautiful ever bilena extreme lipstick  called Red Romance a great choice! Red Romance looks like MAC’s or NARS’s  red but for a fraction of the cost. A great alternative for those who are budget conscious and looking for the same quality for a red lipstick which MAC and NARS have.

I love the smell of this lipstick because it falls between sweet and fruity! This not a matte lipstick and when you apply this on your lips, its a bit shiny (subtle) but not glossy which is perfect if you dont want a very matte lips! What i love about this is, it will give you the needed moisture for your lips without the need of a lip balm. The Red color is rich and long lasting, so there’s no need to retouch that often. The Red Color would leave you with a great reddish even tint so even if it’s gone after several hours the red tint is still there.

Ever Bilena Red Romance Lipstick is very sexy and can brighten up your complexion specially if you apply a red lip pencil first!

I actually like the packaging. Sleek and decent. They’re inexpensive but they don’t look cheap. One thing that i dont like about the packaging is, its very generic. i mean all colors comes with the same packaging so you have to open it to check the actual color.

Make sure you know how to apply red lipstick. Here are some hot lip tips:

• Apply a lip moisturizer and then a thin layer of foundation.

• After the foundation dries, add a layer of face powder which will help set the lipstick so it will last longer.

• Next, line the lips with a pencil that matches your lipstick. Keep within the natural line of your lip.

• Apply a thin, even coat of the lipstick.

• Blot. Always remember to blot.

• Apply a second coat and you’re ready to go.

Available in all leading department stores nationwide 🙂
