Download your favorite music now!

The country’s premier online music store, MyMusicStore, finally revealed to the public the biggest downloading site: mymusicstore.com.ph.

Members of the music industry attended the launch at the Robot Restaurant and Lounge in Makati. Spearheaded by Rising Tide Mobile Entertainment CEO John Alonte and Mobile Cash CEO Eliza Tan, MyMusicStore was one of the biggest music ventures of the two companies.

Together they created the country’s own music-downloading site, where everyone can have an access to the most-wanted songs and albums from favorite OPM and international artists. With a click of a button or the screen, find all your favorite songs and download all you want for as low as P20 per song.

Hosted by Magic89.9’s Mia Bayuga and RX93.1’s Rico Robles, the launch kicked off with the music of Zia Quizon and Richard Poon. There were also rocking performances from Bamboo and Ely Buendia with his band Pupil.

The hosts unveiled to the audience the easy steps to use the site. They also discussed the site’s features and the most accessible payment methods to download a song via Mobile Load, PayPal, credit cards or MyMusicStore gift cards. Sponsored by Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp., mymusicstore.com.ph provided a digitally packed affair with its interactive zone, where guests explored the site and jumpstarted their own MyMusicStore account! The site, said the hosts, is also tied up with Alpha Music, EMI, Praise, Indie Pinoy, MCA Universal, Polyeast Records, Sony Music, Star Records, Universal Records, Ivory, Vicor, Viva Records and the Philippine Association of the Recording Industry.

Gary Valenciano hit the stage for a perfect finale!

One-of-a-kind and all-time favorite OPM and international songs can now be officially downloaded at mymusicstore.com.ph.

The code of youth

After 10 years of research, L’Oreal has once again pushed the boundaries of innovation to develop Pro-Gen, a new technology that targets the skin’s youth code. With just one drop, the skin quality is transformed — making it deeply moisturized, incredibly softer, fresher and more refined. In a week, the skin looks younger, smoother, suppler and beautifully radiant. Within a month, the skin recovers the characteristics of younger renewed skin: smooth, luminous and rested.

Applied under day cream, Youth Code Pre-Essence has a light texture and a discreet fragrance. Designed for intense penetration, just a few drops are needed for even application over the entire face providing instant freshness and moisture.

Youth Code Pre-Essence is exclusively imported and distributed by L’Oreal Philippines and is exclusively available in Watsons branches nationwide.
