Laneige: Sleeping beauty

MANILA, Philippines - A good night’s sleep is essential to good health as well as to beauty. Yet as our days are filled with more and more activities, the length and quality of our sleep deteriorates. The result: Our skin tone looks dehydrated, tired, and dull.

And now, Laneige helps you greet each morning with healthier, brighter skin with its new Water Sleeping Pack_Ex (80ml, P1,250). A global best-seller, this light gel-type mask cares for your skin in three ways:

1. Nine hours of intensive hydration. B-glucan and Ceramide SLN supply moisture to the deeper layers of the skin during the night so skin cells can regenerate and for skin metabolism to activate.

2. Overnight brightening. Hunza apricot extracts and Recoverine brighten darkened complexion and soften the skin by removing dead skin cells.

3. Inducing deep sleep. An original, patented aromatic essence compound called Sleepscent was developed especially to help relax the mind and body. This aroma induces deep sleep to create the best environment for your skin to regenerate at night.

Simply apply Water Sleeping Pack_Ex before bedtime, sleep and rinse it of the next morning.

Laneige is available at Robinsons Place Manila (telephone number 345-7272) and at the third level of TriNoma (345-5682).

Avon’s Eternal Magic: God-scent

Ethereal beauty doesn’t have to be fleeting. Thus, Avon introduces Eternal Magic, a fragrance that creates an indelible impression on the beholder, leaving everlasting memories. Developed with a beautiful signature trail that lingers in the air, Eternal Magic represents timeless grace, beauty, and elegance.

The enchanting scent is the embodiment of the unique magic that surrounds a woman, giving her the ability to captivate all who surrounds her. Brazilian supermodel Ana Beatriz Barros is the face of Eternal Magic. “The mystery and romance behind Eternal Magic’s scent is so captivating,” shares Barros. “It makes me feel especially beautiful and unforgettable.”

In a soft, dreamy, lilac hue, Eternal Magic is captured in a feminine bottle that echoes the silhouette of the classic ballgown. Inspired by the tail of a dress, the package signals the delicate fragrance and memories she leaves behind.
