Moonleaf Planner Giveaway Winner!

The Moonleaf Planner giveaway officially ended last Saturday, and now it's time to give it to one lucky winner! Thank you everyone who joined! Your favorite products have given me ideas and perspectives on what to write for this blog. Hopefully I can go back to my two-posts-a-week routine soon to give you something new to read every now and then. :)

To determine the winner, I compiled all the entries and verified each one. Had to take out one or two links that weren't public, sadly. :( Here's who made it:

On a notepad, yeah.

Then I logged on to random.org for an impartial selection...

Congratulations, Inezzy! Expect an email from me soon so we can work out how you can claim your prize.

Again, thank you to everyone who joined and promoted my little giveaway. 'Til next time!

The Moonleaf 2012 Planner Giveaway

Hi, I'm alive. Just really busy, but I had to put this one up! :)

Are you a planner person? Planners and organizers have been in my life since highschool, when a friend (hi Makee!) gifted me with one. It was one of those planners with cute images and designs on the pages, much like the Korean or Chinese planners we see around stores today. I've never gone without one since.

My planners since college, most recent at the top.

This Bella is a Winner

Hello, ladies and gents! Hope your long weekend was fun despite the continuous rains. :) We have the mini-vacation hangover ourselves, so please do forgive us for the slight delay in announcing the winner of the Bella Belara giveaway.

After verifying the results, here is the random number of the lucky girl: 

And our 18th commenter is...

Congratulations, Theresa! Your win has been announced as well at the Mary Kay Philippines page. Please send your address and contact details to jerica.chingcuangco@mkcorp.com for further instructions--Mary Kay will take care of shipping the prize to you. I hope you'll like Bella Belara as much as I did. :)

Thank you to everyone who joined! I'm inspired to try doing a giveaway of my very own, so watch this space. You never know when it'll pop up. ;)

Mary Kay Bella Belara, and a giveaway!

Scent is a powerful factor for me. I get attracted to beauty products that smell nice, and conversely I get the heebie-jeebies with an unusual or overpowering scent. My most recent turn-off was an herbal body wash with actual herbs inside. Nice gimmick, but scent-wise, no thanks!

Scent is powerful for me because they evoke memories, whether they're good or bad or sad. I'm not sure who else thinks the same way, but if they do, I want to make a good and lasting impression on the people around me. Even if it's just by way of the nose! I was able to try Bella Belara Eau de Parfum for the past week, thanks to the kind folks from Mary Kay. Good impressions definitely abound!

Bella Belara is a fruity floral perfume. Its top notes, the first whiffs you get upon spraying, are apricot and red nectarine. Middle notes of rose and Moroccan jasmine form the heart of the perfume, and sit over the base notes of blonde woods and cool moss. Altogether they form a scent that is both pleasant and intoxicating, but still pretty light. It's a great perfume for daytime and requires minimal fuss--one or two sprays and you're out the door.

Aaand if you're a packaging nut, Bella Belara is housed in a sexy glass bottle with a gradient design. My favorite part is actually the cap, because it looks like a little top hat. This Bella is owl-approved for purchase!

If you need (or want) new shoes...

Every girl needs a good pair of shoes. Personally I believe that shoes are an investment and I don't mind paying more for something that lasts, but I'm glad Ferretti shoes are dependable at a very reasonable price point. I've used my pair for both casual and formal wear, and they still look pretty spiffy.

So, do you want shoes? Wait, don't answer that. Just join!

Mechanics:
1. Take a picture of you wearing your Ferretti shoes with your best outfit. Post the photo on the Ferretti FB Page's Wall, with a short description of your entry.


2. The entry with the most number of positive comments from unique Facebook users wins. So, ask your friends and family to leave a comment on your photo! They can leave a comment simply saying "LOVE IT!"


3. Contest ends on June 30. Winner gets to take home a P3,000 gift certificate from Ferretti.


Terms and conditions:
Mechanics are subject to change without prior notice. We will contact the winner once we announce them, after which they are given one week to reply to our Facebook message. Failure to reply will forfeit their prize.

I'm dreaming of getting shoes that I don't really need if I had that GC, just because they're pretty. Hee! Considering that they're also coming out with new arrivals every couple of weeks or so, there's a lot to choose from! Check out their Blogspot and Facebook page for more details. :)

P.S. The Mary Kay Daddy & Me contest poster has been updated--you can win a Lash Love mascara as well! ;)

Mary Kay salutes Father's Day!

Is your dad taking care of his skin? Do you have a gift for him for Father's Day? If you answered no to either question, you might want to join this contest from Mary Kay! Hey, that rhymes. :)

Mary Kay Philippines is introducing two NEW products to their men’s skin care line—the MKMen Cleanser and MKMen Toner—and the best part is, you can get this for free, along with an MKMen Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 25! It’s the perfect gift for your dad this Father’s day.
