Recent Portfolio Shoot
Sorry for being inactive in the blogosphere for a while. Been busy since I got back from HK last week. Anyway, sharing with you initial photos from the portfolio shoot we did last Sunday, May 15.
I actually did 3 make-up looks for this shoot, but these photos only show 2 of them. Will post more pics as soon as I get copies from the photographer... :)

MAC's Latest Greatest Accessories
Many of you might have missed this, with all the new collections being launched, but MAC has also launched 6 new accessories this week in the US. I know, it'll take forever again before it reaches Manila's shores but here's a quick round up of what's to come:
1. ALL BLENDING SPONGE
Described as an ultra-soft, latex-free sponge shaped for a more controlled and flawless application of cream and liquid foundations and makeup products. It is actually just an updated PINK version of MAC's Flat Oval Foundation sponge. Retails for US$8.00
A dual-sided sponge designed to provide versatility in application. The pink side is designed for use with liquids, gels and creams while the white flocked side is specifically designed for flawless application of powders and powder foundations. It's multi-purpose as you can also buff and polish with either side of the spomge. Also retails for US$8.00.
Among the 3 sponges, I am especially intrigued and excited with this one as it reminds me of the infamous Beauty Blender. This Pro sponge was designed and shaped for precise application and blending of liquid or cream formulas in hard-to-reach areas of the face. Pink. Latex-free and retails for US$18.00
A pretty straight forward screw-on spray pump for MAC travel bottles. It's spill-and-leak proof and it provides a spray-mist application. Retails for US$6.00
It's funny but a local Filipino cosmetic brand, Fanny Serrano, beat them to launching this a couple of years back. A demi-version of the M·A·C Lash Curler. Designed to lift and curl the shorter, more inaccessible lashes at the inner corner of the eye. Works with the same easy "squeeze and release" motion of the full-sized version. Retails for US$14.00.
A new version of MAC's duo sharpener, this is also designed for eye and lip pencils of any size. Features one small and one large opening located side by side. Precision-honed. What's great is that it comes with a cleaner to help clear the blade of excess product. Retails for US$6.00

Yummy MAC Candy Yum Yum!
Look what came in the mail today! The much-coveted MAC Lipstick shade of all time-MAC Matte Lipstick in Candy Yum Yum from the Quite Cute Collection. I can't believe it got sold out in hour after its launch in the US...wow!
After hearing about this news from RB Chanco, I knew I had to go online and get one for myself. I actually purchased it last April 11 and it only arrived today. It waslaunched in Manila last Sunday, May 1 ,and as expected all stocks of this shade got sold out within the same day...Well I'm just glad I ordered it earlier and didn't have to rush to the nearest MAC counter on a Sunday morning...
Looking at it right now, I can understand why there is such a huge fuzz about it...Pink can't get any more NEON than this!!! Hahaha

Merceditas Gutierrez Resigns!
Philippine Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez is scheduled to face a trial on the Senate soon. But before she even made it there, she personally submitted her resignation letter to PNoy earlier today.
In her statement on TV, Gutierrez said: “By tendering my resignation effective May 6, 2011, I hope we can now all focus on the problems of our people, rather than expending efforts and resources to remove me from public office.”
“In the past weeks, it has become evident that the villification by my detractors will go on… I wanted to face my accusers whatever the personal agony it may have involved but the interests of my family, my office and nation are more important,” Gutierrez added.
“The President needs an Ombudsman with whom he has full confidence,” Gutierrez said, and that “the country needs a full time Ombudsman, and a full-time Congress” which would not have been possible had she stayed in office and went through a Senate trial.

Well, if this is true, all I can say is....FINALLY!!!
