Blog Freebies!

After keeping you waiting for ages (my bad, sorry).. finally, here it is!

I noticed that many of who visit this blog are just starting out their makeup artist career or are simply new to unraveling the wonders of makeup.  So to help you  build your stash, I’ll be giving away one 28-piece Neutral Eyeshadow Palette, which is also known as the 28-piece Bridal Palette or the MAC Dupes because of its resemblance with some of MAC’s eyeshadows. If you’re interested in knowing what MAC shades they duplicate, please read Ms. Jennifer Do’s post about it. This is worth at least Php 900 but is yours for free.

Not only that!  In support to Human Heart Nature and their Gawad Kalinga advocacy, I’ll be throwing in one of my favorite HHN hair products, the Human Heart Nature Avocado and Gugo Intensive Hair Mask . I’m sure you’d love it as much as I do. I hoarded quite a couple of it for personal use (ugh.. that’s how bad my hair is).

Note that both freebies are brand new, the eyeshadow palette comes in a box.

This blog contest is open to Philippine and International readers.

Blogger’s Block & Some Contests

Ever since the new year started, I’ve been out of words to write. It’s like my brain’s been reprogrammed that I don’t know how to blog anymore. Sheesh. I think I have a bad case of a Bloggers’ block. It’s taking my neurons forever to rise to its action potential from the holiday rest, as though it’s on a vacation in Panama city beach FL. Hope it doesn’t wait for the Chinese New Year to get its blogging groove back.

There are plenty of topics that I still have to cover yet I don’t know where to start. Some of the entries are still on draft mode which I should finish before the month ends. I got a couple of emails requesting for particular topics, please do hang on!

I promise more contents for this year. And oh, if you’re looking for a chance to enroll in a makeup artist course for free, Minute Maid and Beautynomics.com are having a contest til January 29, 2010!  The ad is frequently being shown below. They are giving away a P15,000 worth of makeup short course  at SOFA, the school featured on Project Runway Philippines. For the full mechanics, please head THIS WAY.

If you’re a coffee-loving fashion plate, you might want to try your luck at Equal’s contest for a free Figaro Coffee and let the world know of your fashion style. 150 winners are chosen daily. Read more details on THIS SITE. Good Luck!

Speaking of contests, I have something under wraps for you. Will draft the mechanics soon when I fully wake up from this blogging slumber. For now I’m still “sleepwriting” so pardon my incoherence. Please watch out for the coming posts.  ZZZZzzzzz…

“The Doctor is vaIN” gives back!

Vanityclinic.com has teamed-up with Discovery Suites’ Terra Wellness Spa in giving you- the readers, a chance for a luxurious spa treatment. This is our way of celebrating the blessings that this blog has received. The lucky reader will be treated to a 75-minute Terra’s Touch Massage worth P1,700!

The Terra Wellness spa is located at the 4th Floor, Discovery Suites, 25 ADB Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. It provides a tranquil escape from the toxicities of urban living. Through the specialized services, treatments, and facilities beyond the normal facial and body massage that they offer, balance of the mind and body can be restored.

Under the skillful hands of trained therapists, guests can regain their balance and invigorate their senses at the 480 sq. meter facility that houses seven (7) treatment rooms, each with its own shower and bath, three (3) of which are suites for couples, and a foot therapy room.

Each guest is accorded the opportunity to de-stress and recompose by way of massage therapies, body treatments, facials, and services that are crafted to relieve the pressure of everyday life and restore the body’s natural equilibrium.

To further enhance one’s spa experience, Terra has recently established a partnership with internationally renowned spa brand- Pevonia Botanica. Terra is pleased to introduce one of Pevonia’s finest therapeutic body products-Aromatic Moor Mud as part of Terra’s “Healing Earth” Moor Spa Therapy.  Moor is a nutrient-rich mud harvested from below the earth’s surface.  Known for its healing properties since ancient times, it draws toxins out of the body, helps balance hormones, reduces inflammation in muscle tissue, and infuses the body with necessary nutrients.

Terra Wellness Spa offers a variety of spa cuisine, healthy food and drinks catering to those who want to eat and drink their way to optimal health.  Aside from being a haven for relaxation, Terra also opens its doors for spa parties and enjoyable events such as bridal showers, corporate launches, and those special & private occasions that cater to a minimum of five (5) to twenty (20) persons.

Up for grabs is a  Terra Signature Massage which is described to be a deeply relaxing massage combining slow and graceful gliding strokes that are applied to the different key pressure points of the body to relieve tension and aid blood circulation.
