 Last January 9, I was invited by my good friend/ co-ALL Ladies League Manila Member/ co-Blogger, Ann Purificacion, to attend the Wazzup Pilipinas Post Holiday Party. The event was held last January 9, 2016 at KL Tower Service Residences, Makati and was sponsored by Red Ribbon, Dominguez Marketing, Aquabest, CID Communications, Food Panda, Slappy Cakes, All Ladies League, PRC Inc., Perceptions, Warner Music PH, ProFriends, Rufo's, Gaius Pension Inn, Making Smiles Better, Hair Philosophie and AXN.  Aha! These are some of the prizes that will be given away during the party! When we arrived at the room, a few bloggers have also arrived and had been relaxing there. That is when, Ann announced that there will be a "contest" in Instagram: the one who can post the BEST photos of the sponsored wine from Tavernello Lambrusco Emilia and sponsored cakes from Red Ribbon, will win a prize! And so, being an avid "contest joiner" that I am, I also posted my entries and I'll also share them with you!  Let's drink the night away with Lambrusco Emilia ,the No. 1 Wine in Italy. Bright red in colour, with an intense fruity and yeasty aroma. This sparkling wine has a well-balanced bouquet and a pleasantly mellow taste!  Here I am drooling at these delicious #RedRibbon cakes made of chocolates and love! I really should stop myself from devouring all of them! Haha! . So let us all #ReadySetBlog go here at #WazzupPilipinas and enjoy the whole day with all the other bloggers! Happy new year, indeed!  Let's get #ReadySetBlog here at #WazzupPilipinas with this delicious cake from #RedRibbon full of sweetness that can give me a sugar high! Ooh-la-la!! And while everybody is busy with taking their own "Instagram entries" the organizers decided that we will play some little game to break the ice and of course, so that each of us will get to know each other too!  Here we were playing the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and whoever gets the 9th counting will lose and leave the game! Haha! Sorry, I forgot what that game is exactly called!  Some of the attendees were: Julie Ann with her daughter, Krish Rai (me), Ann Purificacion, Allan Bough Gokongwei, Kaye Riguer, Jayson Biadog, Ross Flores del Rosario, Tin Gonzaga, Kim Nieves, Cherry Bells, etc... We had mini-games, random raffles, Instagram contests, a segment where each one of us will introduce ourselves and how we started blogging and inspirational speeches by our sponsors, our ALL Ladies League Manila Chairperson, Ms. Kaye Riguer, and of course, the Wazzup Pilipinas leader, Mr. Ross Flores del Rosario.  Kaye winning a prize from one of the mini-games!  Our ALL Ladies League Manila Chairperson, Kaye Riguer was discussing about our organization: the charity, fund-raising events, and other women-empowering activities that we do. Of course, the night will never be complete without taking a selfie with my ALL Ladies League Manila sisters: Ann, Kaye, and Julie Ann!  So the color of the night was BLUSH PINK but we found ourselves wearing a different shade of pink but whatever, it doesn't matter whether we look like we're promoting Breast Cancer Awareness Advocacy or something, it's still connected with women empowerment, right?  And by the request of Wazzup Pilipinas' Mr. Ross here is our (funny and silly) video. Please don't laugh! Hahahaha! So here are some of the ALL Ladies League Manila members with Wazzup Pilipinas founder, Mr. Ross Flores del Rosario. It was indeed a pleasure meeting you and the other bloggers! Very inspiring I must say!    That's a lot of photos, huh? Now, moving on..... Do you remember that the organizers conducted an Instagram best photo contest? Well, well, well... The winner is none other than... Ten tenen nen!!!!! @IamKrishEnriquez OH EM GEEE!!!! THAT'S MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!   Yes, that's right! I have already won 2 bottles of wine!!! Hahaha! My husband will be very happy when I get back home!  We had fun with the event's program BUT the fun didn't just end there! You see, we didn't just enjoyed the coziness of KL Tower Service Residences' room, we also treated ourselves some relaxing TLC at their swimming pool and sauna!  Here I am with Allan, Jayson, Julie Ann, and Cherry, talking about our experiences about blogging, the events that we have attended to, the brands we have collaborated with, etc.  Me with Julie Ann and Cherry (Oh my, you girls are so skinny!!!! Kainggit hehe!) All in all, I had fun in meeting some of the bloggers who had the same passion in blogging as I am, even if we have different interests and hobbies, writing is one thing that we all have in common! I was actually inspired being around these people who already have more experience than me in terms of blogging because I learn a lot from them! It is great hearing their stories, how they started, what pushed them to do what they are doing right now! Hopefully, there will be more events, meetings, and catching up that will happen to meet these creative people again! And of course, I will never experience all of these without the help of my lifestyle blogger friend, Ann Purificacion! Thanks so much Ann for inviting me to some of the events and staycation because that really helped me big time not only as a blogger but also as a person. I enjoyed every bonding I get to have with you during these events! I love you lots!  With my pretty friend Ann the morning after. I actually did her makeup because we went straight to our shoot in Ortigas for ALL Ladies League Manila! :) 'Til the next time, everybody! Thanks for all the fun memories, looking forward to making some more with all of you!

Our country's humid weather calls for an outfit that is comfortable enough to withstand the heat! So, what is better than wearing a pair of shorts? They're versatile, cozy, and stylish enough to dress up or down! I usually purchase the denim ones in different colors: from the usual blues, to blacks, and colorful ones to mix them all up with my current mood! Since my body is pear-shaped (my hips are bigger than the rest of my body), I prefer high-waisted ones that can give my tummy and butt the support that they need, and also I have to be mindful of the coverage it gives since I don't want to show the world my butt-cheeks, I'd rather have them modestly kept, hehe!  Here I am wearing rugged denim shorts for that rock 'n roll vibe!  A casual pair of white denim shorts when I am just lounging around!  Loose denim shorts are perfectly comfortable to wear at the beach!  Make sure that your shorts are snug enough so you can freely move out and about! I make sure that the shorts I wear are comfortable even when I sit on the ground atop a mountain! Haha! I'm thinking of getting myself some new pairs in white, black, and colorful ones! How 'bout you? What kinds of shorts do you recommend to pear-shaped women like me? Any suggestions?  Some of the denim shorts that I love!!! I am fond of dressing them up with accessories and flashy tops too! Anyway, come on ladies, let's go shop together online!

Being with them makes the event more fun, we enjoyed playing with the makeups together!     When we saw the cosmetics displayed, we rushed to try them on! Haha! Oh, we ladies really do love our makeups, don't we? Here I am, fixing Anne's eye makeup for tonight!     So, here's Anne's minor transformation! Ta-dahhhh! Isn't she beautiful?

The BEST BB Cream that I have tried so far? Yes, I have found it! No edit, no filter, no photo retouching! Introducing Le Blanc's Ultra Healing BB Cream it is made with natural ingredients that are safer to use than chemically-based cosmetics. What I like about this is that, I feel like I can ditch my high-end foundation for this! By the way, I'm using the shade LB01 (I'm a MAC Prolongwear NC20 and MAC Matchmaster 1.5 for reference!)  Natural cosmetics are perfect for those who have sensitive skin like mine, which is why I am happy to say that Le Blanc's Beauty & Scentsation that makes 100% natural cosmetics, are now available for sale online to people like us who want to use safe cosmetics with good quality that can rival even the most popular chemical-based products that are commercially available in the market!  I just wanna share a little bit information and texture about this Ultra Healing BB Cream to you all... First, what do you expect from a natural ingredients mineral makeup? Safe to use of course since it doesn't contain synthetic or chemical additives This product has a full coverage that can cover all imperfections caused by acne such as zits, redness and blemishes.. It is also paraben-free and lead-free which makes it a safer alternative compared to chemically-based cosmetics. Why is it called it Ultra Healing? The product is formulated for people suffering from certain types of skin problems such as severe acne, melasma, extreme dryness of skin and most of all, this is especially formulated for people suffering from psoriasis, that way, they can still put on make-up whilst getting their skin treated at the same time. The owner, Ms Ivy Le Blanc herself suffered from the same problem and had a severe acne which has already been cleared by now, thanks to this product! This product does not contain any synthetic ingredients that makes a cosmetic water-proof. It is done so to prevent the clogging of the pores that may cause breakouts.  Photo taken by Ms. Ivy (those are her stocks of BB Cream which that much product I didn't have, hehe!) Price: Php 650/ 30 ml Scent: - light with a hint of sweet, fruity smell Texture: - water-based, non-sticky, non-greasy, easily-absorbed by the skin, it easily dries on the face as well.  Coverage: - it has a buildable medium to high coverage and a little goes a long way too; I do not need to use a concealer for covering light acne marks and dark eye bags! Just look at the photo, I currently have a few breakouts on my cheek due to the hormonal side effects of women's monthly visitor, but when I applied this cream, they were covered: no concealers used! Even my moles were almost covered!!!  Longevity: - without a primer, the bb cream lasts for 6 hours on my face before it starts to oxidize; on the other hand, if I put on a primer, it lasts for 12 hours before it starts to oxidize on me! I have oily, acidic skin: go figure! :-)  Longevity: - without a primer, the bb cream lasts for 6 hours on my face before it starts to oxidize; on the other hand, if I put on a primer, it lasts for 12 hours before it starts to oxidize on me! I have oily, acidic skin: go figure! :-) Conclusion: - For people with sensitive skin who wants to cover their blemishes and acne, this can be a safer alternative for you! This BB Cream is milder than commercial makeups available in the market, trust me, I have tried LOTS of makeups before and I tend to breakout with most of them, but with this one, well, no allergies! I can say that this is suitable for any skin types. Just remember that results vary.  There I was, wearing Le Blanc's Ultra Healing BB Cream under the sun, I rode the motorbike for 1 hour, 30minutes then after another 30 minutes, I took that picture. No editing but you can see that my make-up is still intact even without retouching just yet! Wow, just wow!  These are the current available shades of the Ultra Healing BB Cream.

Look for Ms. Ivy Le Blanc so she can refer to you the best shade suitable for your complexion. |
