"THE ONE BRA" from AVON

Hi everyone!

In case you don't know, I am a part of Avon Philippines blogger Council and they sent me a few of their products to try out. Unfortunately, most products were makeup and DHL don't allow those kind of products to be shipped. so I ended up getting their "One Bra". You could only imagine my disappointment.?! To be honest, I do not see myself a good writer so forgive me if this post is kinda off, but I am going to try my best to put my thoughts into writing. :)

A woman's underwear can make or break her outfit,so a bra's structure and support level is very very important. I am what kind of "well-endowed" for my frame ( I am 36-C) and some bras just don't offer support or sometimes the underwire is super uncomfortable. I am also very self-conscious about it so I don't like showing my cleavage that much.  I am very picky and I never wear bra without underwires.  I don't like the "bouncing" effect..hahaha!

Anyway, here is what I think about this "one Bra" by Avon. I have worn it for 3 times in about 8 days just so that I can give a good feel of it.

What it says on the website:

INTIMATE APPAREL

'The One' Bra

Php 425.00

Comfort, support, and other amazing benefits in one bra. Comfy Spandex stretches and moulds to fit any shape. Fit sizes 32A-40D with removable pads. No hooks & wires for complete comfort. Cradles bust for lift & support. 92% nylon, 8% spandex, excluding trims. Skintone. Free Size.

The "One Bra" is made of a soft, stretchable material and does have padding. It does have any wires but the wide "cup" and padding makes up for it.  I even wore it when I went jogging and it was not uncomfortable at all.  It offered me just right amount of support. I was also surprised by how snug it was. It is so nice when worn over fitting shirts and blouses because it does not have any weird bulging. I am kind of uncomfortable showing my cleavage so I also like wearing this when I wear shirts with low-neckline. 

Hmmm...I am trying to figure out what I don't like about this bra...because I love it! If only I could wear this everyday! (Which I can't because of hygienic reasons..) I wish it came in a black color as well so that I can wear this with dark shirts. But all in all...I just love it! I think it is a great buy and I am so thankful I was sent this to try out. 

Do I recommend this? Heck yeah! 

Hope you enjoyed my post!

Take care!

AVON You Make It Beautiful Makeup Session with Lauren Andersen

Hi everyone!

This post is going to be a looong one! I have been procrastinating for the longest time since I am not really good at writing this kind of stuff but at the same time I just don't know how to write into words the things that has happened to me lately. I was chosen as one of the Avon's blogger council and so, part of the "perks"  was to be invited to attend the launching of Avon's New Makeup Line and a makeup session with their global makeup artist Lauren Andersen. I live in Iloilo so I had to fly to Manila juts to attend this event. I was very excited and anxious at the same time because this is my first "blogger" event and I see myself as this "small town girl" and I just don't know what to expect. But of course, I was excited to meet other bloggers as well.

This event was held last August 23, 2013 at the Mindanao Ballroom in Sofitel Hotel and the place was really nice. I can't help but stare at EVERYTHING when I arrived there. I was so shy as well and very very unsure of myself. There were tables with two chairs and so I took a seat at the second to the last table and the things that caught my eye where the Avon products on the table. It really got me excited.

When I sat on my chair, Ms Mara from Avon approached me and she was very nice and accommodating. I was feeling very shy at that time She then asked the woman sitting next to me if she could switch places with the sitting in front since she was also one of the bloggers who were chosen by Avon. Ooohh boy.. was I so glad! She turned out to be a really nice person and quite talkative as well. 'I'm soo happy I was able to sit beside her.

 This pretty lady is Kirs, She also has  a Youtube channel.

The event started with the pretty host introducing the Avon Global Makeup Artist Lauren Andersen and New Product Innovation Director Lisa Lamberty. Both of them flew from New York and they came to the Philippines to talk about Avon's new makeup line. 

I so envy these two ladies! They get to do the things they love and get paid for it!

After the interview portion, Lauren Andersen showed us how to create two different looks using Avon's makeup line. One look was defined eyes and orange lips while the other one was more like a smokey eye with neutral lips. I was not able take pictures of the other look.... I don't know why.. :(

 We were also encouraged to follow what Lauren does using the Avon products provided on the table. It was my favorite part actually because we got to play with the makeup.  And the  best part was that all the makeup were given to us after the event. Yey!!

The last part of the event was handing out of the certificates and  of course, photo session with other Avon blogger circle members as well.

I was really shy and I felt awkward...I should have taken more pictures with other bloggers.

Photo with Ms Lauren Andersen. She is soooo nice! You can see only the two of us in the picture but there are almost 20 other girls lining up to have a picture taken with her. She was so nice giving compliments and smiles a lot. Her face is perrrrffeecct....I love the shape..hahaha

Photo with Ms Say! I was so psyched to see her that I ended up not saying anything...I was startstruck....ahhaha

This is me... .I really don't think my shoes go well with my outfit...oh well..hahaha

All in all, I love the experience. It was an amazing opportunity for me to hear no other  Lisa Lamberty talking about the new products and how they came up with it really and it really inspired me and I cannot wait to discover more Avon products. I am also very excited as to what's in store for me next  now that I am part of Avon's blogger council.
