What's inside my Sample Room Inspire Goodie Bag?

Hello everyone!

I finally got to subscribe to Sample Room's goodie bag and the package arrived today! Hoorayyy!!! This batch's theme is "Inspire."

I was so excited to come home because I know the package will arrive today. I received an email from Xend yesterday that the package is on its way and since I've been using Xend for years now, it only takes a day or two for me to get my stuff. 

And when I opened the Xend plastic bag, I was greeted with a handwritten card... and a pretty, pink "I Love Sample Room" ribbon! :P

The items were inside this Inspire canvas bag. I love the pockets at the front. This will now be my shopping bag when I go to malls!

And these are the items inside:

According to the Facebook Photo, all the products inside would amount to more than Php 5k. And I believe it is so because I'm a bit aware of the prices of the products and most of them are in their full sizes. 

I'm just glad that the stuff inside are things that I haven't used yet so I'm really excited to try them out!

Anyway, here are pictures of the items:

AHAVA Time to Treat Comforting Cream

AHAVA Dermud Intensive Hand Cream

AHAVA Deadsea Water Mineral Body Exfoliator

AHAVA Deadsea Mud Gentle Body Exfoliator

AHAVA Deadsea Water Mineral Shower Gel

ZA True White Day Protector

Shiseido White Lucent Power Brightening Mask

United Color of Benetton Let's Love Eau de Toilette

Pevonia enzymo-spherides peeling cream

Reven Eco Beauty Tool Natural Cleansing Sponge

NYX Lipliner Pencil in Hot Red

Colour Collection Lipstick in Sweet Tart

Charm Pro Flat Liner Brush

This bag is definitely worth my Php 1,290.00. I'm glad I was one of the first 25 people who got lucky and got a reservation. :D

Do you see something from the goodie bag you want us to make a review soon? If you do, comment them below!

Cheers,

Pevonia Botanica Tropical De-Aging Mist

Hello dears!

More than a month ago, I attended Wacoal's Perfect Fit Party and one part of the event was a presentation by a Swiss skincare brand, Pevonia. I've heard and read much about this brand but haven't had the opportunity to try any of their products because, well, it is quite pricey. But how lucky was I that I was privileged enough to take home one of their products from the said event!

I got the Pevonia Botanica Tropical De-Aging Mist.

This 200ml bottle is Php 3,640.00.

Here's a press release I received so we have some idea on its claims and what it can do for our skin:

Pevonia introduces ‘Ligne Tropicale’ the first ever de-aging body line which is totally paraben free!

Synergizing the latest science with advanced manufacturing technologies and nature’s purest elements, the Pevonia De-Aging Tropical Body Line delivers a groundbreaking organic phyto-extracts de-aging therapy for optimal rejuvenation! Skin is restored with a radiant, healthy and youthful glow.

The range is scientifically proven to:

• Counteract Aging
• Tighten & Firm
• Refine & Smooth
• Brighten
• Even Discoloration
• Hydrate
• Relieve Stress

Comprising of three home care products; De-Aging Saltmousse, De-Aging Body Balm and De-Aging Mist and a unique in-spa de-aging tropical exfoliation, the line delivers an unparalleled sensory experience while delivering truly outstanding results.

Pevonia Tropical De-Aging Mist

Awaken and replenish your skin with a refreshing boost of hydration any time of day or during outdoor activities. Pevonia’s De-Aging Tropical Mist offers a precise blend of tropical fruits including Pomegranate, combined with Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe, Chamomile, Panthenol, Calendula, and other natural ingredients. Spray all over skin as desired. Ideal for all skin types.

The range is available in two delicious flavours comprising of:

Papaya/Pineapple smoothes wrinkles and brightens the skin tone

Mango/Passion Fruit tightens and firms the skin, brightens the skin tone  

So the product is very easy to use—just spray and spread. A small amount goes a long way. It smells incredibly fruity good too but it's not that long-lasting.

First time I sprayed it on my skin, I can instantly feel how soft it became. And what made me love it more is unlike lotions and body oils, this product gets absorbed by the skin so quickly. I never liked the sticky feeling lotions and body butters give me but this, on the other hand, feels so light which made me love it even more.

I use this everyday after I shower and before I go to bed. I bring it along with me too incase I'll be needing extra moisturization. This product is just so handy and so effective in making my skin feel soft and smooth, especially my legs, that I'll probably wouldn't mind getting another bottle even if it's a bit more expensive that the products I usually use. It's just worth it! But if ever I get extra dough this Christmas, I might consider trying the other products from the line too. :P

Enjoy the benefits of Pevonia’s De-aging Tropical Line as a body treatment in select spas. Pevonia’s Ligne Tropicale is available in selected spas nationally.

Event : Wacoal Perfect Fit Party

Hello pretties! 

Did you know that around 80% of women wear the wrong bra?
Even if you know what your bra size is, there is still a big possibility that the bra in that particular size is a wrong fit for you. Honestly, I have quite a number of bras that are not the right fit for me. But things are gonna change now that I learned a lot of things from this event I just attended.

Last Saturday, I went to an event by Wacoal in Makati.

It was held in their head office. It wasn't hard to find since I used to work in a place near that building before.

I met up with Helen on the way (we even had matching black clothes! Haha!) and once we got inside the location, we were given instructions on what will take place in the event and even handed us these papers where we can design our own bras!

We started coloring while waiting for our turn to get our sizes measured so that they can personally find the right undergarments for us to fit! Neat!

After they measured us, we took pictures of the place. In front of the office was their store where you can buy different Wacoal products. It's complete with their product catalogs and fitting rooms!

And we also took our refreshments! They've prepared snacks for us! So convenient for me since I was not able to take my lunch. :P

Some club sandwiches

 C2 Red Teas — they are one of the sponsors of the event

And these gorgeous cupcakes from Sweet Patti Cakes!

That bra design looks soooo cute! And I definitely love the one with Wacoal's logo on it... It has a cookie-like dough inside. Super yummmm!

For the main event, we had a presentation regarding how Wacoal aims to make every woman feel more beautiful and confident about themselves whatever your shape, age or size is. 

But in the middle of a presentation, we had a mini game so that the people inside the room would get to know each other better. I think this made the event more interactive. I actually liked it since most of the people in the event are fashion bloggers which I haven't met before.

After the game, They explained to us how the female body changes while aging. As we get older, our body tissues are not the same anymore and it leads to sagging skin and breasts. And also, our bodies also get fatter or thinner so our sizes change everytime. These events lead to a change in the types and sizes of garments we use. 
But why is the right undergarment so important? It is because it makes you feel comfortable and makes the body's figure looking much better leading to a more confident you!

So what are the things you should remember when buying the right bra?

1. Don't neglect the fitting process.
2. Fit the bra and move around it.

3. Don't go to a store that refuses fittings (these are for bras. I understand why they don't allow it for panties, etc.)

4. Try 2 or 3 items on instead of just one.

And they also shared with us the proper ways on how to wear our bras:

After the presentation, Pevonia, one of the sponsors, also took the stage to give us an introduction on what the brand is all about.

Elaine and Jen told us that Pevonia is a Swiss brand that utilize highly advanced technology to create the finest skincare products. They have a wide variety of items that are used in many spas all around the world. Famous personalities like Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Beyonce and Will Smith use it. Pevonia products are cruelty free and has eco packaging (fully recyclable). They also support  environmental conservation and philanthropic organizations. 

After the presentation, they gave us loot bags so that we can try their products which I'm sure I'll enjoy using! :D

The event doesn't stop there, we also had fun taking pictures at the photo booth! Here I am posing with blogger friends—Helen, Carizza and Blair!

There were also boxes for each of us containing undergarments in our sizes that we can fit. We can choose items that we want to take home that are worth Php 3,000. But if we wanted more, we were free to buy it. Here are the bras that fit me perfectly:

And below is the loot I received from Pevonia:
