The Body Shop Winter Trend 2012 Blogger Event

 Hey beauties!

A few days ago, I attended yet another event from The Body Shop. 

In this event, they introduced this year's Winter Trend Makeup Collection.

 I was quite excited to finally try out the makeup line since the day I laid eyes on it when they gave a sneak peek at the LYB party that was held in Trinoma a few weeks ago.

But since the event was held on a weekday, that means I have to go there from my work in Makati. And what's worse, the event was held in Megamall at 6pm. Talk about major traffic jam! So I braved myself to use the MRT from Ayala to Ortigas after office hours.

I NEVER liked using the MRT during the late afternoon. It's like I'm at war to get in and like in a can of sardines once inside. But I am very eager to attend the event so I did. I would have taken a half day off work if I didn't have to do so many important things. Ugh.

Anyway, after an hour and a half of suffering in the MRT, I finally arrived at the event location and this is what caught my eyes...

The collection displayed in full-glory right at the front-center of the store.

 

You can also grab these in a big discount right now. You can get it at P200 off and an extra P100 off if you are an LYB member. Neat, huh? The promo shall last 'til the last week of the November... I'm just not sure which day exactly.

Prices of each makeup are as follows:

EYE PALETTE 01 COPPER	8g	1,495.00
EYE PALETTE 02 MOONSTONE	8g	1,495.00
ATOMISER 01 COPPER	10g	1,495.00
ATOMISER 02 GOLD	10g	1,495.00
SHIMMER ROCKS GOLDEN COPPER	50g	1,595.00
EYE DEFINER 15 COPPER BROWN	1.25g	550.00
EYE DEFINER 16 PURE GOLD	1.25g	550.00
EYE DEFINER 17 GLDN BROWN	1.25g	550.00
EYE DEFINER 18 MOONSTONE	1.25g	550.00
COLOURGLIDE SHINE 12 RUBY	4g	695.00
COLOURGLIDE SHINE 13 ROSE	4g	695.00
BRUSH FACE AND BODY SLANTED	-	1,095.00

And since I came from an unbearable ride in the MRT, my hair and face were at the worst condition ever!

Good thing there was a free makeover using the new collection during the event!

I quickly asked for one so I would at least look decent on the pictures.

 The makeup booth where all the magic happens!

 I swear I'll get a makeup dresser with lights like this someday!

So as Analyn, my makeup artist during the event, worked her magic on my face, I was briefed by Nicole and Angel about the limited edition collection.

These year's theme is razzle dazzle with metallic hues, glitters and glimmers! Very appropriate for the jolly, Christmas season!

The makeup line has warmer tones as well which I think would look better to most Filipinas.

And here's a before and after pictures of me...

 TADAAAAAA!!

All fresh and looking stress-free! Haha! ♥

Super loving the lipstick! It's Colourglide Shine in No.12 Ruby!

For my eyeshadow, they used the Moonstone Palette.

They also used the Shimmer rocks (which I'm still eyeing on and plan to get sometime soon) to contour and highlight my face.

And for the finishing touch, they sprayed some Atomiser in Gold on my bangs to add some extra glow to my hair! 

The collection is superb! I definitely like this year's collection compared to last year's. I feel like I'm ready to go out and party after the makeover! ♥ 

What else is new in The Body Shop?

Their Lip & Cheek Tint has a new packaging!

 And they even have it wrapped in a box as a Christmas present!

And of course, the Christmas scents are back!

 Ginger Sparkle, Vanilla Bliss and Cranberry Joy!

I honestly love all the scents!

And the cutely wrapped gift sets! My favorites are the body butters and the lip balms in Lollipop-shaped packages!

 They have so many gift sets for you to choose from to give to your loved ones!

You can even customize your own!

 and don't forget the eco-bags!

 But before the night ends, there should be pictures with fellow bloggers and the girls from TBS! yayyy!

 Me with Helen whom we always have the pleasure of tagging along with during The Body Shop events! ♥

 Angel, Ana, Krissy, Sarah, Nicole, Helen and me

 Me, Nicole and Helen

 Helen, Me and Shen!

 Phew! That's quite a lot of picture moments!

It was fun and the free makeover was great! We all looked gorgeous upon leaving the event thanks to the Limited Edition Winter Trend Makeup Collection!

 And oh! They also gave me a goodie bag to take home containing all these fabulous makeup from the collection! Can't wait to try them all! Stay tuned for my reviews!

Cheers!

The Body Shop's Blogger Makeover with their Winter Trend Makeup Collection

 Hi Lovely Ladies!

 The season of giving is in the air! Only 41 days left 'til Christmas! And to celebrate this special holiday, The Body Shop launched a lot of events as an early Christmas celebration!

One of these events is the Blogger Makeover! Yesterday I, together with my friend, Liz, were at SM Megamall with a number to bloggers to get makeovers using The Body Shop's new Winter Trend Makeup Collection.

I was very eager to go when I received the invite. Why wouldn't I be? When I will be one of the few to try out their latest Makeup Collection! I even got there a few minutes earlier than scheduled. Now that's something new! Because I'm usually 'fashionably' late! Haha!

Since we were early, the makeup artists to do our makeover were still working on other bloggers so we'll have to wait for a few minutes. While waiting, Danica, the one who informed us about the event, toured us around the store and told us detailed information about their products and also introduced to us their newly launched products!

At the left you will see their 'Extra Virgin' Mineral Makeup Collection (Extra Virgin, because the oil used in the formula is Extra Virgin Olive Oil), and the New Winter Trend Collection! At the right are The Body Shop's Skin Care Lines. Danica familiarized us on which line is best for each skin type.

And I really want to try their Seaweed Skin Care line, especially the cleanser! They used this to cleanse my face before putting on my makeup.

At the left you'll see the Cranberry Joy collection which they relaunch every Christmas season. There are also other scents such as Spiced Vanilla and the new Candied Ginger Collection (It smells a lot like a Cola candy --- I'm still figuring out if it smells like Pepsi or Rootbeer). The right photo is the exterior of the shop (sorry if it's blurred). As you can see, they are having promos on their Gift sets! More about that event and the other events they've prepared later! :P

 This is one of their new products -- their lip oil. It comes in 4 scents, from fruity to floral! I want to try the rosy one! Besides lip oils, they also have one for the eyes to reduce puffiness! Although I don't think I need that for now. :P

These are their Earth Lovers Shower Gels. 'Earth Lovers' because it's very earth-friendly. It's made from natural ingredients unlike some bath products that are made from various chemicals. We've already tried one of their similar product, The Body Shop's Rainforest Hair Care Line.

Their Cucumber & Mint is my favorite Scent. It has a very relaxing smell! Mmmm...

 Oh! And standing between me and Liz is Danica, the one who gave the tour and supplied us with infos on various products of The Body Shop. :D

 And with me are Issa (left pic) and Nina (right pic). They were also there to guide us and chitchat with us while doing our makeovers.

 They are all so pretty!! Is it a requirement to be that pretty to work for The Body Shop??

MAKEOVER TIME!! 

Here's Liz having her makeover.

 Annalyn, The Body Shop's resident makeup artist for the branch in Megamall, is doing her makeover with the new Winter Trend Makeup Collection.

 The Winter Trend Collection has 2 Palettes for their eyeshadows. Annalyn is using the Golden Brown 4-Colour Eye Palette on Liz.

And for me I chose the Silver Black 4-Colour Eye Palette. 

 Here are the various The Body Shop makeup products used for the makeover.

 Carissa will be doing my makeover. She is one of the two award-winning makeup artists invited to do the makeovers for the bloggers in the event.

My face all evened-out with the Body Shop's BB Cream and Extra Virgin Mineral Foundation. She contoured and high-lighted my face as well. She's doing my eyebrows in the picture. A bit of a struggle since my eyebrows are uneven. I've been struggling with my eyebrows for the longest time. :P

 I chose to get a smokey makeup. I'm just that daring when it comes to makeup. Haha! It's almost evening anyway. :P

 Look at me with the goofy smile obviously loving getting prettified! :P

 And here's a before and after pic of me. :D

I was impressed by most of the products. But unfortunately, my dark spots aren't covered as much as I wanted them to. If you zoom-in on the pictures, the dark spots are still visible. I guess I should still stick with heavy coverage foundations.

 Here's me with Liz after our makeovers!

 Oh! And we met Shen of Shen's Addiction again. All-dolled-up from the makeover! Pretty and fabulous as ever! :D

 After 4 hours, the color is still visible, especially the blush. Although I have to wipe the oiliness away. I'm just too darn oily! :P

And of course we took home a bag of giveaways! 

Curious to know what's inside??

Well...

 Tadaaa!! Makeup and Bath and Body products from The Body Shop, a Christmas Catalogue and some cards concerning their upcoming events!

Here are pics for a closer look on the products I got. 

 Silver Black 4-Colour Eye Palette

 White Musk Libertine Eau de Parfum

Candied Ginger Body Scrub and Cranberry Joy Shimmer Lotion

I'm soooo excited to try them out! Stay tuned for the upcoming reviews! :D

So what else did The Body Shop prepared for all of us to enjoy this Christmas?

I'm sure many beauty enthusiasts would be thrilled to get their hands on this one again.

Cheers,
