Good Housekeeping Magazine Makeover

Have you seen my makeover page at Good Housekeeping magazine October 2012 issue? If not, here it is:

Dress: Plains & Prints, Belt: Unarosa, Shoes: VNC
Accessories: The Ramp Crossings

I felt good for being chosen for the Mommy Makeover section.

I got excited during hair color, hair cut and hair treatment session at Azta Urban Salon. My long black hair turned into mahogany-colored layered bob. Love it! My family, friends and everyone else loved my new hair. Thanks to Anton, Azta Salon senior hairstylist, for taking care of my hair.

It was raining hard during the photoshoot. Good thing, my husband accompanied me to the studio.

Thank you Ms. Pia, GH, beauty and fashion editor, for choosing the best dress for me. I initially  prefer wearing pants for the shoot, yet, she knew that wearing the dress would be perfect. And she was right!

Here's a TIP she shared:

Look for a dress in a cut that suits your body type. Halters are flattering for almost any body shape, making your shoulders look sexy.

Thanks also to Niña, GH Editorial Assistant, for making my look complete. Yes, I felt fab! Thanks to Elaine, Guerlain makeup artist, for making me look prettier; and to Sonia, for the natural hair style and for taking care of it throughout the photoshoot.

Thanks also to Jun for the great photo!

Again, thank you so much Good Housekeeping Magazine Philippines for this wonderful experience.

nice meeting you all :)

Good Housekeeping Makeover Live with Marionnaud

I've attended Summit Media's Good Housekeeping event with Marionnaud at SM MOA Atrium. This Beautiful Moments Workshop consists of talks about beauty and skin care, make-up tips, styling and personality development.

The pretty and lively Issa Litton hosted the event. 



Speaker, Ara Fernando, shared valuable beauty and skincare tips. One of which is the proper makeup for the 20s, 30s and 40s.

I've learned a great deal, like, as you reach 30s, you need to hydrate more. In your 40s, investing in anti-aging skincare in necessary. She also emphasizes the use of toner, importance of lip balm and exercise.
