Pond’s White Beauty Naturals and Promo on Kylie Minogue Concert in Manila on July 5

June 30, 2011 by Janey

Pond’s brings to the Philippines the new Pond’s White Beauty Naturals with Camellia leaf extract, which is a NATURAL powerful ingredient that lightens skin. The Camellia leaf supposedly only grows in the foothills of the Himalayas and this extract helps prevent skin darkening –which is common if you are living in a tropical country like the Philippines.

Filipinas have a difficult time finding that one moisturizer that will keep their complexion fair and their face free from feeling sticky throughout the day.

More than the other whitening products, the New Pond’s White Beauty Naturals apparently works double time since the Camellia leaf reduces the formation of melanin deep within your skin. Add the proven skin lightening technology of the Pond’s White Beauty range to this equation and you get this new fresh skin lightener.

Pond’s new line is being endorsed by celebrity Angelica Panganiban. Yes, she is Derek Ramsay’s beau. Angelica explained that while she is very fortunate to be blessed with very good skin, Pond’s provides the pinkish-white glow to her complexion.

Pond’s White Beauty Naturals include:

+ Facial Foam: 5g Sachet (P6), 50g Tube (P80), 100g (P150)

+ Moisturizer: 10g No Mess Sachet (P20), 20g Tube (P70), 50g Jar (P249)

Current Promo: Buy P300.00 of any Pond’s White Beauty Naturals Products in leading supermarkets and drugstores nationwide and you will automatically receive a Rhett Eala Eco-Chic Bag. Promo runs until supplies last

While a Rheatt Eala eco-chic bag adds primness to your bagging and shopping needs, you might want to catch the Kylie Minogue concert in Manila on July 5. This time, it is the brand Pond’s Flawless White, who is giving a once in a lifetime treat to its loyal consumers. Prepare to be enthralled and electrified with the performance of famed artist and icon Kylie Minogue as Pond’s Flawless White co-presents the much anticipated Aphrodite world tour concert here in Manila this coming July 5.

Beyond her chart topping hits and lasting career, Kylie Minogue is known for her beauty who has captivated the eyes of many. Now in her 40s, she revealed last year her secret to flawless radiant glow. Following her mom’s skin regimen, Kylie attested that she uses Pond’s Cold Cream on a regular basis and is one of the reasons for her beautiful and youthful skin.

July 5

July 15, 2008 by Janey

After coming off a packed and exhausting weekend last week, July 5 was another non-breather schedule on a Saturday. I woke up at 730 in the morning to start cooking lunch for my high school friends who was supposed to arrive at 12nn. Tri-color Pasta Al Tonno, Beef Crispy, Cajun Chicken, Curry Rice, Pizza Chips were on the menu. I don’t know why but tri-color pasta is my favorite pasta to cook these days. Since there was no ground beef to be found in the ref, I was not able to cook Beef Crispy.

Ann informed us Friday that she couldn’t go because is work. Mark called me Saturday morning to check if they were still going to pick up Achish as I requested. They picked her up with her yaya because Ezra had work that day.

I finished everything by 1210pm. CW arrived at 1145am and lent a hand. Everyone arrived around 1230pm and we all started eating. I totally forgot that Mark liked red sauce better. I thought it was the other way around. He wasn’t much of a fan of spicy stuff either and most of what I prepared were spicy. (See Mark? That’s what you get for being an absentee last time)

By 2pm, I had to excuse myself to get dressed for the K-Pop event I had to attend at 330pm. I had to do the welcome remarks at this event that the Arirang channel hosted. I left the house at 245pm and was at the parking lot of the Manila Film Center by 320pm. I thought I was 20minutes early but the organizers called me with a frantic voice saying that I was supposed to do my speech that second. I sprinted my 3-inch stilettos to the mountain like entrance of the venue. When I got to the theater’s entrance, I was astounded by the pandemonium. The theater was fully packed! The Arirang channel brought Evan and VJ Isak to the Philippines and almost a thousand people flocked to MFC to see the show! Leo met me at the theater entrance and assisted me down the steps (dragged me was more like it). I couldn’t see the steps because the ground was pitch black. The only light I can see was from the stage. Good thing Bubba was behind me and flashed the path I was walking on with his Nokia N82 phone.

Running from the uphill then getting dragged down the steps and climbing to the stage, it was a wonder I was able to get through my short speech without passing out. The crowd was anxiously waiting for my speech to be over so they can finally see what they really went there for. I was so amazed by the response of the audience when they saw Evan and VJ Isak. I could feel the theater shake.

After an hour, we trod off to Makati for URCC XII fighter’s briefing, which CW had to attend. He was going to referee the fights alongside Joey Lepiten and Anthony Peñalosa. 4pm, he dropped me off Starbucks 6750 so I can attend the 3^rd installment of Dialogue at Starbucks. I’m so glad I was able to squeeze it in my tight schedule because I learned a few things from listening to Ivan and Director Kidlat.

I left in the middle of JP Tanchaco’s presentation (which I sat in for the 2^nd time) since I had to meet Racq for my Estee Lauder powder. I went to H-Salon to get my usual eyebrow threading from Thea and Racq followed afterwards. She handed me my order of Estee Lauder powder and then she gave me a freebie of Hydra eye gel (thanks Racq, mwah)!!!

At 745pm, Mon driving a red hot Yaris picked me up and we headed to A-Venue where URCC XII was happening. Jem and Fidel reserved seats for us. 845pm, the show was about to start (a separate post on the fights) and I had to gulp down a bowl of Yoshinoya quickly. Urbandub was the band of the night.

I sat with Didi during the opening but had to return to my seat to accompany Mon. The first 3 fights stimulated the crowd and made them forget an expected boring under card matches. Too bad Mon left around 10pm to pick up Chay at the airport. I sent him an SMS with the results afterwards. CW and I had dinner at Fluke right before midnight and followed to Burger Avenue where our friends were. Watching URCC XII Supremacy best capped off my activity-filled Saturday.
