All the Vanity Blog :: Beauty, Fashion & Shopping

Sometime last October, Tony Moly Philippines held a makeup event, which I was fortunate to attend. I remember being sick at that time, but braced the under-the-weather feeling and went still.

Despite coming in very late, I was able to catch a glimpse on the event highlights:

Tony Moly’s Korean makeup artists, Yoon Eun Mi and  Cha Duhee, did a makeup demonstration using the brand’s latest products. Dubbed as Disco Diva, I’m sure you already have a clue on what type of look they did.

‘Twas really interesting to know how a nighttime, party-ready makeup can still look fresh and effortless. I guess, Koreans have a knack for keeping things simple, as evident on their TV Dramas where celebrities pull off a makeup-no makeup look.  Blame their genetically flawless, pore-less skins for it.

To add, the model on the left was just wearing BB cream as base, which fit her ‘coz she really has nice skin. Pardon for the bad lighting. I still have yet to invest on a good external flash.

Look closely.

*Frustration ensues*

Some of the newest products introduced were the Backstage Self Smoky Eye Collection (duo-eyeshadow palette with gel eyeliner), Floria Bloom Ball Busher, and IntenseRepair Live Snail BB Cream.

The latter piqued my interest. I’m not sure at first if the BB Cream had live snail extract in it, but the name took me by surprise. Apparently, it listed Filtered sail slime as one of the product ingredients. Now, that really made me afraid to try, but curiosity overcame me so I took a swatch on my hand. Luckily, it didn’t turn into “snail skin”. I found the grease-free, almost matte finish really nice, btw.

I wish I had something like this at home, but who am I kidding? I currently live in a tropical island (think of Boracay, just bigger) where thick makeup would turn into paste after a few hours of staying under the scorching heat.

Spotted another blogger, makeup artist Marj.

I tagged along Nika, ‘coz I know she’d enjoy this. Also took a snappie with one of my favourite beauty bloggers, Martha.
