Slinky spectacular

For 10 consecutive years, the shores of Boracay have been the site of the country’s biggest, most scintillating summer celebration as dance party mega-brand Bigfish hosted UK-based super-club Slinky in Slinky 3D.

Slinky 3D was the only dance party being headlined by an internationally renowned DJ; it was the only dance party being held at the beachfront of island institutions Aria, Café del Sol and Jammers, veritable ground zero for Boracay’s revelry; and it was the only event with two of the world’s biggest dance party labels attached to it!

Immense steel girders framing a massive white canopy transformed the Aria, Café Del Sol and Jammers beachfront into a Bedouin fantasyland, with Bigfish banners and pennants fluttering fiercely in the wind, proudly marking ground for the island’s ultimate party experience. Beach boys and girls grooved to the intense, seductive beats of The Thrillseekers, a.k.a. DJ Steve Helstrip as he spun hours and hours of the most progressive electro and trance house music. Pumped partygoers, decked in hip 3D glasses, squealed in delight at Bigfish’s signature laser light extravaganza combined with Slinky’s stunning 3D visuals, projected from gigantic, theater-like screens. Many Bigfish party aficionados arrived early to hear Bigfish stalwart DJ John Boy Lee as he opened the night with his trademark thumping dance house tracks. Rounding up the party cast was Team Bigfish’s MC Lavoce, who expertly orchestrated the festivities and kept the partygoers up and pumped.

 Slinky 3D, the 10th edition of Boracay’s longest-running and most spectacular dance party series, was made possible by Lee, San Mig Light and Lick. The Philippine STAR is one of the media partners.

On May 21, at A-Venue in Makati, Bigfish turns the Manila party scene upside down in the Innovation Black Party featuring DJ Ferry Corsten. Don’t miss that!

A colorful legacy

Colour Collection, the premier cosmetic line of Tupperware Brands Philippines, took another turn this year as it revealed Bea Alonzo as its newest muse and its latest collection of lip color for Filipino women.

Tupperware Brands Philippines president Perry Mogar said, “Colour Collection has always been known as an innovator in the cosmetic industry represented by the most beautiful faces in Philippine showbiz. This year, we’re excited to introduce the revolutionary Moisture Intense Lipstick that promises to be a hit among Filipinas, which is perfectly represented by no other than top actress and a true Colour Collection beauty, Ms. Bea Alonzo.”

During the launch hosted by Bianca Valerio, guests were introduced to the colorful legacy of the Colour Collection brand in the Philippines. Colour Collection is also one of the few makeup lines that provide an array of skin-caring properties, such as sunscreen to protect skin from the harsh effects of the sun, Vitamin E to nourish and promote healthy skin, and moisturizer that keep skin hydrated.

Bea has become one of the finest actresses of her generation who has always been praised for displaying effortless acting flair. Off-cam, the 22-year-old actress is also a sought-after endorser, host, singer and fashion icon who has inspired women with her refreshing beauty.

At the launch, Bea expressed her excitement for being chosen as the new face of Colour Collection. She said, “It’s really an honor to be the new Colour Collection endorser because I really love its products, which let me wear my moods beautifully and protect my skin as well. And I know these qualities are also important for women who want to look gorgeous yet don’t want to compromise the beauty and health of their skin.”

Bea represents the new Moisture Intense Lipstick, which lavishes lips with intense moisture as it contains five times more moisturizers than regular lipsticks. This moisture-rich lip color contains superior ingredients like Jojoba Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Bio-Repair System and the revolutionary Silshine 151 for perfectly hydrated, conditioned and super supple lips that lasts throughout the day.

To let guests experience amazing transformations with Colour Collection, each of them went home with a loot bag full of cosmetic items and the new Moisture Intense Lipstick. Lucky guests also bagged special Tupperware and beauty products during the raffle.
