Clinique: The Dr. is IN

Sorry for the late post, been very busy. hehe. ^__^


Got so excited when I opened my mail and saw Mira’s invite to this exclusive event.  Though, nauna ko nang nakita yung about sa event sa post ni Kira. 

Met Kira, Mira and Liz at Project Vanity’s Clinique SPArty in Makati.  Liz & Mira were pretty good hostesses so they already have this good impression on me.  Also, since the event is on a Friday(May, 6, 2011) and it will be in Trinoma, opted to come and bring officemates with me. I posted it here and voila… the girls called to reserve their slots. They were able to reserve for the 5:00PM to 5:30PM slot for skin consultation with Clinique’s guest Dermatologist. Told them to wear something girly. Hihi minsan lang naman um-outfit kaya gora na diba? Haha. Here’s what I wore for this event:

The Celebration: 3rd-Year Anniversary in the Metro + OOTD + FOTD

We celebrated our 3^rd year anniversary last April 26, 2011. And it was sooo much FUN. We should have celebrated it in HK but due to some circumstances I wasn’t able to join him in that HK trip. Kaya, we decided to celebrate it in the metro na lang. Haha. Where else? Syempre sa Makati. Haha.

We met around 1pm @ Clinique’s counter in Rustan’s Makati after I had my half-face coaching with Malou & Dindin. Purrfect ang timing ko, noh? Kelangan uma-aura sa anniv. lol. Then, we head straight to Glorietta 5 and had our lunch @ Chef d’ Angelo.

moi. contestant no. 34? haha.

Dumaan kaming Ferretti store sa Glorietta 5 to say hi to Liz sana pero wala pala si Liz nung time na yun. Hihi. Sayang. Next time na lang. ;)

After our super heavy lunch, we headed to Ban Sabai Spa, a Thai Spa, somewhere in Makati. Muntik na kaming mawala. Haha. Muntik lang naman.

Note to self: Next time, i-google maps muna ang address lol.

Our reservation was scheduled @ 4pm. We arrived earlier since ma-vovoid daw ang reservation namin if we arrive late. BUT, we were asked to wait, i think, for almost 30mins. watda?! Imagine how bored I am, bilang di ako sanay nang naka-steady lang. haha. Kaya naman, nagpictorial na lang ako within their receiving area. haha. Karamihan, vanity pics. lol. Here are some of the pictures I took while fighting boredom:

What I wore
Top: Plains & Prints
Shorts: Liberte
Wedge: Landmark Department Store
Earrings: Tiangge
Watch: gift from boyfie ♥

bought the shorts for that cutie ribbon. hihi :">

MUA: Dindin of Clinique (output ng half-face session)
Face: Clinique Perfectly Real Make-up Foundation - Sunny
Clinique Invisible Blend Loose Powder
Eyes: Clinique Truely Neutral Eyeshadow Palette
Clinique Long Lash Mascarra
Clinique Eyeliner
Lips: Clinique Tropical Corale lisptick

guess who's bored already? PRESENT! lol

dapat daw ganyan ang pose!

Ate masahista called us for our session na. The session lasted for 2 hours - 1 hour for the milk scrub + 1 hour for whole-body aromatherapy massage. I wasn't able to take pictures inside the massage area na. It was quite dark e at nakakahiya mag-flash baka magulantang mga customers. haha. This is both our first time having a spa massage. The 2 lady masahistas led us to our rooms. I was shocked when ate masahista told me to undress. haha. I was like,"kelangan po ba talaga?" haha. Then, she said na ganun daw talaga. At first, mejo naiilang pa ko but nawala din sa isip ko when Ate started the Milk Scrub. The milk scrub was darn good! Ang sarap sa balat ng warm milk at ang bango...purrfect! Binabad pa ko ni ate inside the room with the scrub on for 15 minutes, para daw maabsorb. Then, she told me to rinse-off in their shower room. The shower was quite small. At nag-IISA lang ang shower room nila so you have to wait for them to call you if wala ng tao sa labas at sa shower room.

After milk scrub, another hour was spent on the Aromatheraphy massage. It was pretty good though minsan nasasaktan talaga ko. haha. Pero keri naman. Loved the head massage. It was like kinikiliti yung ulo ko ng maliliit na karayom. That was pretty good.  

Actually, ang sarap ng tulog ko that night at sarap ng pakiramdam kinabukasan. Stress level down. haha

After the massage, nagutom kami pareho so we went to Ayala triangle for our dinner. PERO, andaming tao teh! good luck. So naglakad-lakad kami at napadpad sa Karate Kid dun sa may likod ng Ayala triangle. 

his food

his food pa rin

my food

Sorry, I don't eat sushi and yung mga kapamilya nun kaya bento inorder ko. hoho. XD

happy bee :)

After our dinner, we capped the day attending Pastor Bong Saquing's talk. Timely, the topic was all about insecurities. During the talk, tawa lang kami ng tawa. Palibhasa nakaka-relate minsan(?) haha. XD

Realized, it does NOT matter HOW or WHERE you celebrate your anniversary or important events like this. What's important is you are TOGETHER and laughing your heart out at whatever. haha. ♥ 

Love love love,

Lori ♥

*Note: Added FOTD :). Enjoy!

First Glance @ Forever21, Makati

After attending an uber FUN Clinique Party last April 16, 2011, in the mood ako i-rampage ang made-up version ko. Sina Liz at Mara papuntang Glorietta 5 nun e. May bonding moment pa ata sila after, nahiya naman ako sumama kaya gumora na lang akong SM Makati. I must say SM Makati's beauty counter is a haven for newbie or pro-make-up & beauty enthusiasts. Lots of brands to choose from. ♥ I stayed quite long sa Majolica Majorca counter. Attracting ang pastel-colored counter nila e hihi.


Anyway, after mag-try try ng make-up & stuff, naisipan ko na ring pumasyal sa Forever21 store bilang di ko pa nakikita yung store nila dito sa Makati. And below are the "takas" shots I got inside the store.


They have LOTS of floral stuffs that are really "IN" this season. From bags.... 

i seriously love this one ♥♥♥

PINK + ♥-shaped lock = ♥

... to accessories:

shades

belts

earrings

..to shoes for the FIERCE ladies:

..and shoes for the girlie ones:

I totally love this floral fedora. Eto lang ang kaisa-isang nasukat ko sa entire visit ko dun (Rants to follow. haha.)

Face: Clinique's Perfectly Real Make-up (forgot kung True Beige/Sunny)

Clinique's Blended Face Powder Invisible blend

Lips: Clinique lipstick in Tropical Corale

MUA: Ms. Vannie from the Clinique Party

..and look at these mannequins, ang galing ng nag-style. hihi:

tea house party

dress na shorts

What I love:

- NOT as big as F21, Mega but pretty the same collection as what you can see in Mega

- more accessible for me since I leave in Makati-area only. haha >:)

- friendly salespersons & kuya guard. haha. kahit nasita ako ni kuya guard dahil sa pasaway kong pagkuha ng ficture, he told me naman na bawal in a friendly way. :)) nahiya tuloy ako. LOL. hindi niya lang alam, andami ko nang nakuha haha. *evil laugh* >:)

What I don't love:

- super ONTI at SMALL FITTING ROOMS. OA ang haba ng pila to think hindi pa SALE nung nagpunta ko. Pano na lang kung SALE diba? They should really add fitting rooms, noh? At dahil tinamad na ko makipila, wala akong nasukat na damit. :(

- lacks MIRRORS. In a fashion boutique like this, necessary ang mirrors para you can check how the accessories look pag suot mo na. Habang nasa accessories section ako, it's quite hard na ipagsiksikan ang sarili mo sa uber PAYAT na mirror sa walls nila. Check this:

Eyffort diba?

They have circular hand-held mirrors for shades but still, it's quite SMALL. Walang mejo matabang mirror. hihi. ;))

TIPS: 

- Grab different sizes of the same piece na lang when you fit para less pabalik-balik sa fitting room.

- Almost always kase I find the Mega branch "crowded" or madaming tao. Kaya if you prefer lesser people, you might also go here na lang. :)

- Go on a weekday. Goodluck sayo sa longer lines pag weekends. hehe =P

All in all, as what we can expect from F21, they have really nice pieces. But, they have to improve on their store pa. hehe. :)

Will definitely visit the store again since eto na pinakamalapit samin. Magtiis na lang sa mahabang pila & all. haha. At isa pa, as mentioned, laging maraming tao sa mega branch. hehe. ( paulit ulit? LOL. sorreh )
