Bobbi Brown’s cream shadow stick is a stroke of genius

MANILA, Philippines -  “Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick is designed for the modern woman on the move. Just swipe it on and go — it’s that easy,” says Bobbi Brown.

Effortless and high impact — that’s the essence of new Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick. This do-it-all formula glides on tug-free and can be used to shade, define, smoke up, and highlight eyes. In subtle to eye-popping shades that last for up to eight hours without creasing, flaking or fading, it’s a stroke of genius.

For her: Armani Code Femme features top notes of bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, calone, and neroli.  

A unique blend of oils, waxes, and film formers gives this water-resistant formula superior eight-hour wear. Color-rich emollients provide intense pigment in one easy swipe without flaking or creasing.

Antioxidant vitamins C and E protect the delicate eye area while skin conditioners help create a smooth, comfortable, and lightweight feel that is not oily or tacky. Available in Vanilla, Gol-den Pink, Sand Dune, Iced Blue, Forest, Shadow, Bark & Violet Plum shades.

The new Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick is available at Bobbi Brown counters in Rustan’s Makati (tel. no. 812-2507), Rustan’s Shangri-La (633-4636), and Essenses Rockwell (822-9400).

A many splendored summer with Armani

Since the summer of 2009, Armani’s limited-edition EDT collections have been synonymous with fresh, enticing fragrances that are as bright and playful as the Azzumi coast from which they hail.

The 2013 limited-edition summer collection will be no different, continuing where the success of the 2010 Code summer editions left off.

The Armani Summer Codes of seduction are a fresh and vibrant interpretation. They are clean and bright versions of Code Homme & Femme. The Mediterranean blue chilled onto the iconic glass form of the original bottles.

For Armani Code Femme, top notes are bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, calone, and neroli with a heart of tarragon, olive blossom, rose, and cedarwood. Armani Code Homme, on the other hand, has top notes of petit grain and pear sorbet with a heart of ginger, sambac jasmine/cyclamen, and orange tree flower.

Nicki says Viva Glam is MAC-nificent

Nicki Minaj continues her reign as the hip-hop queen of MAC Viva Glam. The lipstick-loving diva is back to serve up a delectable duo of lipstick (P1,000) and lipglass (P950) in an all-new shade of pastel lavender pink. What’s doubly beautiful is that every cent of the selling price goes towards helping women, men, and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.

MAC is available at Rustan’s.
