A Year of Beauty
Today I celebrate my first year anniversary here in Beauty Bento Box.
This Asian beauty blog has been around since May 2007 but I only came on board this day last year. Though I’m a fashion blogger by heart, taking on this blog has broadened my horizon.
It allowed me to learn new things as I trekked and immersed myself in the world of beauty blogging. I’ve met wonderful beauty bloggers and have had great fortune in interacting with fabulous readers.

Hairstyle: Sylvianna’s Soft Curls
It was Sophie of Beautynomics who pointed her out to me. We were at F Salon in Greenbelt, where I had my new haircut. Sophie fell in-love with the soft curls that reminded her so much of Marimar, main character of this Philippine-adaptation of a Spanish telenovela with the same title, which she’s been avidly following.
Looking at the tall, statue-esque frame of the girl, you can’t help but admire the way she easily pulled off the light-coloured soft curls. Sophie… More »
Avon Solutions, Advanced Eye Perfector
Avon Solutions
Advanced Eye Perfector
Eliminates undereye puffiness; wakes up weary eyes.
Last Saturday, Phoebe graciously handed over a sample pot of the Advanced Eye Perfector from Avon Solutions. I was quite thrilled cuz I now get to try and do something about my puffy eyes. This often happens when I’ve been too tired, lacked sleep or have been looking at the laptop’s monitor for too long. Yes. I apologise for abusing my eyes like this. Another reason may just be that I’m… More »
Get Irresistable Lips with RMK
RMK Irresistable Lips C
C (Creamy) melts with the lips’ temperature, retaining an abundant amount of moisture and bringing a moist luster that was previously possible with lip gloss only. It instantly covers your lips with a hydrating veil, keeping them plump and succulent for hours. A faint scent of cassis has been added to enhance the sensual qualities of this lipstick, awaken your senses, and make you feel more feminine.
A mixture of gladness and frustration filled me when I discovered… More »

Haircare: Kanebo Sensai Intensive Hair Mask
Kanebo Sensai
Intensive Hair Mask
Rich, extra care for severely damaged hair. Contains 10 oriental herbal extracts to hydrate, nourish, and aid recovery from within.
I have to admit that after a couple weeks, I’m beginning to worry about my hair again. I’m afraid that the cut isn’t really “growing” as well as I had expected. I’m looking into scheduling another appointment with the hairstylist for a touch-up session, hopefully, get the hair cut right.
With my new short hair, I’m seeing myself using… More »
Shu Uemura will be missed
I was just getting myself acquainted with the Asian brand Shu Uemura for the past few months, actively that is and then I find out that the genius behind it passed away last month due to Pneumonia at age 79. I was taken by surprise.

Sasha Does a Bob for 2008!
I know I just had a haircut a month back but I had intended to get something shorter. I wish I had met Phoebe then. I so loved her funky, edgy hair when I first saw it during the Blogger Mixer and I had told myself, “she has got to take me to her stylist!” Yes. That’s how badly I wished to get away from my boring long locks. Gah.
Thank god for Phoebe, who did take me to her stylist… More »

Get the vibrant color of a powder…without the mess. Just swivel up, glide on and go! Easy twist-up stick.
My curiosity with my new stick eye makeup, it lead me to discover Avon’s first powder eyeshdow in a stick. Cool. I never really thought sticks are effective mediums for eye shadows. Though, when I did try to apply the one that I have, it easily glided over the skin on my hand.
Apart from eye liners, the only time I encountered sticks… More »

Hot Korean Superstar Rain Endorses Clear
Clear is clearly making waves in Asia (pun intended). I’ve never seen any other dandruff shampoo create such steady awareness in their market.

Get a hot Korean superstar to endorse it! Get Rain Jung Ji-Hoon!
Rain is one of the most successful Asian superstars as his name is not only famous… More »
