As part of the arrival of OLAY Regenerist here in Manila, OLAY is having a One Day Pre-Sale of the OLAY Regenerist product line on Saturday, 18 October 2008. Official launch of the line will still be in November. You can be one of the few people who can get to try the products a few weeks in advance.

The reason behind the existence of a Priority List is cuz the available stocks on that day will be limited. A total of 1,750 products which will consist of:

OLAY Regenerist Cream Cleanser
OLAY Regenerist Regenerating Serum (Micro-Sculpting Serum)
OLAY Regenerist Eye-Lifting Serum
OLAY Regenerist Regenerating Cream (Perfecting Cream)
OLAY Regenerist Night Firming Cream (Revitalizing Cream)

Being on it allows you to shop with fellow priority list-ers, you get the benefit of getting first dibs on the product that you really want to buy without worrying if it’s still available when you get there.

You can sign up directly over at the OLAY Philippines website or just leave your full name and valid email address on the comment area below and I’ll make sure to forward them to the organisers.

bareMinerals Mineral Veil on-the-go

bareMinerals
Mineral Veil

Mineral Veil provides the ultimate translucent finishing touch to makeup, infusing skin with softness and light for airbrushed perfection. It gently absorbs oil and minimizes the appearance of lines and pores for a fresh, flawless look all day.

bareMinerals created a limited edition Mineral Veil in a flow-through brush in celebration of Sephora’s 10th year anniversary.

Mineral makeup has been one of the cosmetics that had caught my interest. Admittedly, I have this love-hate relationship with it. I love the coverage and finish but sometimes, application can be a real chore.

Another thing that I don’t particularly enjoy is keeping them in sample zip locks even when they can prove to be real handy in terms of portability. Call it vanity but one of the things I like about makeup is the packaging. I’d rather keep the conventional compacts and tubes in the vanity kit I carry in my bag all the time rather than all the small pots and such filled with mineral makeup.

This one from bareMinerals can be a real good solution. One thing that comes close to what this thing can do is the Victoria’s Secret body powder glitter I own. The powder dispenser is cleverly hidden within the brush and all I have to do is push on the other end of the brush to let out the powder while buffing the skin with the brush. Hardly anything’s wasted, which is good, yea?

What do you beauties think? Isn’t it fantastic to have the bareMinerals Mineral Veil in this real portable flow-through brush?

The bareMinerals Mineral Veil on-the-go essential costs $28 over at Sephora.

Via Christina Loves, I learned that with every purchase of the Shiseido The Makeup Lip Gloss (Pretty Pink) for the month of October, $5 of it goes to the Cosmetic Executive Women’s charity, Cancer and Careers.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. There are lots of products out there that are directing a portion of their sales to support cancer research and such for the entire month.

Pretty Pink, priced at $20.50, is currently out of stock over at Sephora but I’m sure you’ll be able to find one out there. So if you decide to grab the gloss this month, think that you’re also supporting cancer awareness and support groups.

For Manila-based Beauty Bento Box readers:

We feel good when we look good. Makeup is created for self confidence and we believe that every woman needs self confidence to be able to smile and show the world what she can do!
