Infallible 24hr Foundation

Php 700 SRP

This is the first foundation from L’Oreal Makeup Designer/Paris that promises to fight makeup meltdown and stay fresh all day. It lasts for up to 24 hours! With its lightweight formula, it gives flawless, full coverage that conceals visible imperfections and a demi-matte finish with no visible shine.

Powered by extreme hold pigments that adhere to skin, and hydrating hyaluron that gives optimum skin comfort, this long-wearing foundation guarantees no makeup meltdown from morning till night!

Infallible 24hr Foundation comes in 6 shades, available at L’Oreal Paris makeup counters and official online retailers for Php 700 SRP. With the many benefits of this mighty foundation, I’m so happy that I can get it at an affordable price!

Let’s put it to the test!

During the L’Oreal event at Valkyrie Club, I went to the makeup station to get myself done. They used Infallible 24hr foundation on me. After that, I joined the 30-minute POUND Rockout Workout to put the foundation to the test. Amazingly enough, it stayed on and even if I wiped my sweat off, you wouldn’t see a lot of foundation on the tissue paper!

Infallible 10hr Lipstick

Php 500 SRP

This lipstick line lasts from morning coffee to evening wine! Say goodbye to makeup fails like fading and flaking. Say hello to the sophisticated, high-impact color that lasts all day. Infused with hydrating vitamin e, this lipstick stays fresh and vibrant for up to 10 hours without feeling tacky or dry I tried it myself and it absolutely works, even if I brush my teeth, eat, and drink water from a bottle.

The application is pretty smooth as the creamy formula glides easily on the lips. It looks glossy at first application but sets with a demi-matte finish.

Infallible 10hr lipstick comes in an expansive range of 20 shades from subdued nudes, to vibrant reds and pinks, to bold and deep hues.  They are available at L’Oreal Paris makeup counters and official online retailers for Php 500 SRP.

Let’s put it to the test!

I prepared to leave for work at around 9:30 am. I put on the infallible 10hr lipstick and I realized that I haven’t brushed my teeth yet! Oops! So I decided to put it to a test and brushed my teeth with the lipstick on. I am amazed that it stayed there and through the rest of the day! I went to L’Oreal’s event in Valkyrie by late afternoon and it was still great!

Infallible Pro-Matte 16hr Powder

Php 600 SRP

This powder goes very well with the 24hr foundation! Complete the look with this long-wearing, shine-defying powder and create a perfectly matte finish without looking flat or cakey. It absorbs excess oil and reduces shine on the skin’s surface for up to 16 hours. This lightweight pressed powder can be used alone, to set foundation after application, or throughout the day for quick touch-ups.

Infallible Pro-Matte 16hr Powder is available in 6 shades at L’Oreal Paris makeup counters and official online retailers for Php 600 SRP.

Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender & Setting Spray

Php 500 SRP

This lightweight, oil-free spray can be applied after makeup over your face, eyes, and lips to lock in your whole makeup look. It ensures that your makeup stays fresh and “just-applied” the entire day, and prevents melting, fading and smudging.

Infallible Pro-Spray & Set is available in L’Oreal Paris makeup counters and official online retailers for only Php 500 SRP

Wingstop has been in the country since last year and Wingstop fans have loved the 10 unque flavors they offer that consist of spicy, sweet, and savory variations. I was very happy to have tasted 10 of these, plus more, I will tell you about it in a bit!

   by  Flair Candy 

Wingstop has become popular in Asia, and with this, they now offer new flavors, where East Meets Flavor.

These are never tasted before flavors such as Korean Soy, Spicy Soy, Honey Garlic and Honey Barbeque. Wingstop gives a not at Asian cuisine, infusing the bold flavors of soy and garlic into the comforting tastes of honey and barbeque.

I personally love the Spicy Soy – but it’s super spicy you need rice or potatoes to deal with it! I also loved the Garlic Soy, both sweet and a little salty at the same time. Which flavor do you like?

Rockwell Tent glistened in color and shimmer as beauty, fashion, lifestyle bloggers and makeup lovers headed on to celebrate colour!

The venue made me miss my dear friend Mica who is currently in the UK, watching Viva Forever!  Unfair!  But I’m so excited and happy (and inggit) for her!  The tent was painted with vibrant UK colours.  Colours ranged frim highstreet hues of hot pink to London bus red and the golden sheen of the Beatles.  Plus, we got to shoot selfies of ourselves inside a photoboot 😛

One way to describe the Collection is that it is adventurous.  Browsing through the makeup sets and finally getting to have my own, made me conclude that this affordable makeup brand is great for those who are starting to play and experiment with makeup.  My blogger and makeup artist friend Bambi who was with me in the event guided me through her favorite items in the rack and that included the concealer (which I will also use soon) and their blush.

One thing I want to try is their BIG FAKE Mascara which you can buy only at P399.  I’ll tell you if it does what it promises!

Collection is available in fashion and beauty boutiques near  you.

Age is attitude.  We can live youthful forever!

Cues Ke$ha’s song “Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young.”  and Taylor Swifts “I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22” and all the crazy fun songs that just embodied our Laboracay weekend with Smart Live All Out Party!

I hope you did follow #SmartLiveAllOut hashtag on Twitter and instagram.  We have been posting all our photos of the fun-filled weekend!  I hope there’s a part 2 because I just want more of this!

Here’s a recap of my FUN weekend that was, but will always be in my heart LIVE ALL OUT!!!

I broke my personal record!

Longest stay in Boracay (8 days, 7 nights!) one fully loaded week!

Longest simultaneous partying (7 nights)

achieved 80% alcohol in my blood (I kid you! I have a very nice functional liver and I drink wheatgrass)

Fell in love with a stranger (may ganon? joke lang!) more of like, grabbed a stranger and danced with him (so he can save us from some jeje trying to *BS* me and my friend)

Swam by the beach at night! (shhhhhh!!!)

Ran out of clothes and become creative.

Won a random spinning elephant contest!

Took paraw sailing to a different level, walked by the edge of the boat’s stabilizers and high fived someone from another boat (Lance DeOcampo) while running!

Danced on top of the DJ’s stage!

I definitely lived ALL OUT!

Me and my friends arrived on April 27.  We were warming up for the Labor Day weekend festivities.

as the labor day weekend comes close and closer, more parties, more friends, more fun!

The only thing I love about beach parties: you don’t have to wear heels, you can dance barefoot, you wear comfortable clothing (uh-huh) and you get to swim when it gets too hot and malagkit!

Best part: you don’t have to drive home!  You can just sleep by the sand and no one cares! (I kid :P)

Comes May 2 and my blogger friends arrived from Manila!

I love my roomies! @alyssalapid and @shensaddiction

We stayed at Boracay Garden Hotel

We LOOOOVE our room!  We have pool access by our Balcony, spacious room and not-so-pricey mojitos by the pool bar!

Seriously guys, I brought work with me (because I work from home gala!)

As long as there is internet, I can work from wherever I am, super thanks to SMART LTE prepaid broadband for making this possible!

Here’s how my sched looks like:

6 – 4pm   WORK (excel sheets, html and graphix shizz)

4pm onwards at White House to party

9 pm go home to freshen up

10 pm dinner

11 pm EPIC / Tides

2am go home

Guys, it’s the only thing I know how to do “Work Hard, Play Hard”

ALL OUT NA ALL OUT!

With fashion bloggers @verniecenciso @lush_angel and @vernenciso

Partying non-stop at White House Boracay, EPIC and finally Uptown #SmartLiveAllOut Music Fest!

We beat a guy playing this random game called “spinning elephant!”

We did dares LIVE! broadcated on http://smart.com.ph/liveallout

beauty blogger @mikkigalang was also in the area <3

L-R: @verniecenciso @mikkigalang @vernenciso @flaircandy @alyssalapid

Mode of transportation in Boracay: your feet or trike!

Paraw sailing with fashion, beauty and entertainment bloggers and smart team: @lancedeocampo @flowgalindez @mangyanblogger @shensaddiction @tobielstjohn @irislaotan

This relaxing paraw sailing totally gave me a zen moment.  From hyper parties to relaxation mode!

You can never go wrong catching a Boracay sunset.  It will always take your breath away. #nofilter

Dinner with the bloggers and smart team before partying!

at Sun down, the party people of boracay were treated to an All Out Music Festival with performances from some of the country’s finest artists to celebrate youthful victories. Bands and DJs that rocked the event are The Oktaves, Yolanda Moon, Brigada, Funk Avy, Callum David, Scratchmark, Thea, and David Ardiente.

We had to say goodbye to Boracay on Saturday, but our journey didn’t end there!

To embody our theme for this week to “LIVE ALL OUT,”  we flew to Cebu just to eat Zubuchon!!!

WHATIZZZ DAY TRIP?!?

kami na talaga! Us already!

When I arrived at Manila airport… I zoomed as fast as I can to my photoshoot…

I love this life I live!  It’s so full of action and energy

And so Living All Out continues.  Please free your June 1 7pm to watch our Stellar Broadway Pole summer show at SM North Sky Dome.  See you!!!

I have always enjoyed crowd-watching in Hong Kong. When it’s spring or summer, you would see vibrant colors in their wardrobe from shoes to bags and accessories. Come winter time, you get to see the locals strut the city streets with hip boots and cover-ups! With this, I didn’t let the chance to cover Hong Kong Fashion Week just pass by.

I receive invites to different countries to cover some events. Malaysia, US, Singapore, HK and in some random way, Myanmar. These invites don’t come with plane tickets though (most of the time), meaning I have to take care of my own flights from the Philippines to the destination. Maybe they think I’m a local? This happens a lot when Malaysia companies invite me.

For Hong Kong fashion week, I splurged on the tickets and booked accommodations with a budget of P10,000. With my super powers in budgeting, I was able to fill everything in.

I was in Hong Kong for 2 full days only. That means, accommodations I booked were only overnight, but I was still able to go full day at the Hong Kong Ocean Park, walk around the parks of Tin Shui Wai, RnR time at my hotel’s spa and of course Hong Kong Fashion Week by the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.

I have a gift in maximizing my resources. *Wink* *wink*

Themes of different designs were not just a mixture different colors, but of patters and textures as well.

Since autumn and winter clothes mean layers and layers of fabric, it’s a perfect opportunity to match the mismatch.  Yes, I saw a lot of stripes over polka dots and plaids over crazy prints!

Hong Kong Fashion Week

In Asia, Hong Kong is a thriving hub for design and branded labels. The Hong Kong Fashion Week and the HKTDC World Boutique is a remarkable evidence of such importance of the Fashion industry in Hong Kong.

But all this, is more than fashion itself. HK Fashion Week focuses more in the business side of fashion.

Mind I tell you, there were about 1,600 exhibitors that participated in this year’s HKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter.

Everything was pretty much highly automated and their systems ran efficiently

Registration is actually free.  You can register at HKTDC’s official website.

Details about the Hong Kong Fashion Week can be found here.

Register for HK Fashion Week Spring / Summer 2013 here.

Yes. It was a BIG event! LITERALLY! I think I walked more than a kilometer inside the “realms” of HK Fashion Week today! I was going back and forth the different halls at different floors of the Exhibition Center! It was like it could never end!

One floor was quite huge enough for me, then I realized that the fair grounds cover 3 floors!

HK Fashion Week happens twice a year. The. Autumn / Fall event happens on January and the Spring / Summer edition happens in July. If you want to catch the Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring / Summer, you might want to plot these dates in your calendar: July 8-11, 2013 and register here.

This is actually is the 44th edition of HK Fashion Week. This is my first time attending the event but I can say that it is just as vibrant as I expected it to be! Even if there’s a stereotype to Winter or Fall Fashion as dull and gray, that is not the case here in Hong Kong. It was a brilliant kaleidoscope of styles, colours, fabrics!

This was an open display and one of the sections to the many features of this year’s HK Fashion Week for Fall and Winter.

To respect the designers, photography of their designs is discouraged.  If ever I took some photos inside, it was just to see the entire venue, the crowd or just a wide view of the different items you can see inside.

I was walking around hoping to chance upon Filipino designers, but I failed to find any. I tried to cover every corner, every function of the event, but it was impossible to do so in 1 day and my time was sparse!

A total of about 1,600 exhibitors participated in Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter

There was a diversified representation of different fashion tastes from different boutiques. Notable spots come from the exclusive designs of labels such as IKA BUTONI, Eutropic, Groupe Pronuptia and 3M to trendy value-for-money fashion from MUSE, Focus, Sub Zero, Gulliver and Orient.

Camouflaged

There were also different sections that cover niched intrests like avante garde shoes and Lady Gaga-like shades! For the more highlighted sections: Denim Arcade, Handbags, Men in Style and Salon of Scarves and Shawls.

Of course, you get to see the more popular features like Intimate and Swim Wear, Bridal, Evening Wear, Accessories, Fabrics and Yarn, Sewing Supplies and many more.

They also had the Small Order Zone for groups of suppliers who can handle small volume orders. Like I said, it is more of the business side!

HK Fashion Week usually offers seminars for free on a first-come-first-serve basis.  Some are for invitation only

Same is true with the Fashion Show.  You can view almost any show you want but you need special invitation in some shows.

A day isn’t enough.  Next time, I’d spend at least 2 days.  The fair usually happens in 4 days.

And next time, I don’t want to miss the seminars and the fashion shows!

World Boutique

Specially featured for participants all over the globe, World Boutique showed high style of garments and accessories. Highlight of brands encompassing Che Che New York, MARCCAIN, Pashma, Adlib, Sumy Kujon, IKA BUTONI and Walter Ma.

Over 460 brands participated this year and there were over 15 runway shows this year.

They’re definitely good in mixing creatives and business!

This year, I did not only see a graceful crash of patterns and colors, I also saw the clash of different textures and materials. A plethora of mix and match of different elements. Who would have thought crazy ideas like this would stand out?

By this time, I was already very tired and must have walked at least 2 kilometers inside the convention.

‘Til the next Hong Kong fashion week then,

FlairCandy <3
