I bet I wasn't the only person glued on Laureen Uy and Janina Vela's Instagram last November 3 when the Maybelline x Gigi Hadid Collection was launched! 😍  The celebrated top model personally introduced her well-curated limited edition makeup collection with top influencers all over the world in attendance.

Gigi Hadid is more than a muse. She is a CREATOR and the DRIVING FORCE behind this revolutionary collection. From her home base in NYC, to her hometown in LA, the design and details of these three Maybelline makeup collections personally reveal the story of Gigi Hadid’s life as she sees it, one shade name at a time.

How I wish I was also in New York to witness Gigi talk about the design and detail of her personal line of Maybelline makeup products. Luckily, Maybelline Philippines is truly amazing for giving me a sneak peek of the whole Maybelline x Gigi Hadid Collection that's gonna arrive on our shores in less than a week! (PS. The Philippines is 1st in Asia to launch this line!)

If you'll ask me who's the most beautiful young it-girl in showbiz today, my top-of-mind answer will definitely be Liza Soberano! I adore her so much because of her talent and how her personality shines even if she's beautiful beyond words. (Even get to watch one of her movies and teared up!)

With her laid back #FOTD looks (face of the day), she enables Filipinas to be young, bold, fierce and, most of all, confident as they are. I agree that this was made possible with a little help from her favorite Maybelline Clearsmooth All In One Powder Foundation.

Just like how this product helped Liza, this all-in-one foundation is also my best bet to achieving a naturally beautiful look and flawless coverage on a daily basis. It's my go-to powder whenever I need a quick makeup fix (I keep one in my office drawer) because it's super lightweight on the skin! ❤️ 

Some makeup used: (fave!) Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation, Clearsmooth All-in-one Powder Foundation, V-Face Blush Contour, Blush Nudes and Hypercurl Mascara

After weeks of stressful holiday rush, I'm finally back to blogging! <3 (Oh, how I miss writing for my blog..)

This holiday season is extra special for me because of these reasons, (1) my sister is back from Japan, (2) a big celebration is bound to happen in January, (3) it's the first time in years that my family will be complete for Christmas and New Year's day. 

Everything's happening so fast that I realized I wasn't able to keep up with all my load this month. That's why it's just right now that I had some play time with my current makeup products - most of which are from Maybelline New York. <3

I know I'm not the only one who stopped using powder foundation because of oil and sweat concerns. Ever felt annoyed when after a few hours of applying powder foundation, your t-zone shines brighter than a diamond? So stressful, right?
Two days ago, I joined the bandwagon and did the #UltimatteFaceOff Challenge myself.
