Light and refreshing, that’s how summer should smell like! Nothing too bold or powerful. Try these fragrances that range from citrus, to floral, and even woody.

MOSCHINO I LOVE LOVE
I love this citrus scent. It�s very young and playful. It does not last the whole day, though, so I usually carry it in my bag. 100 ml, P4150. 50 ml, P3150.

Available at Rustan’s, SM Department Store, Robinsons Department Store, The Landmark, and other leading department stores.

ANGEL SCHLESSER FEMME
“Fresh elegance in a bottle” is how I would describe this Spanish designer fragrance. I love the minimalist package, and it is perfect for the no-frills modern woman. The scent lasts a long time on the skin. 100 ml, P3450. 50 ml, P2650. 30 ml, P1750.

Available at Rustan’s Department Store.

Just a little over a week ago, Cherry and I were invited to the media launch of Starbucks Coffee’s latest summer offering—the Banana Java Chip Frappuccino. Following the success of their Banana Mocha Frappuccino Blended Coffee and the Java Chip Frappuccino Blended Coffee, Starbucks has decided to combine these two beverages into one amazing and absolutely delish combo.

So what makes this frappe different from the hundred and one other summer-only beverages?

It seems like almost every person you meet these days is into designing accessories, but not all can boast of an impressive product lineup. However these three up and coming talents have come out with pieces that will get you excited, and are worth your hard-earned peso.

Baubles, Bangles N’ Beads
Established in 2005, the duo of Joyce and Paoling make everything from necklaces and bracelets, to earrings and brooches. But their specialty is their so-called “Art-To-Wear,” best epitomized by their hand-painted bangles. The bangles are one-of-a-kind pieces that boast of colorful, artsy and intricate designs meticulously painted by their artists.

If you have a particular design in mind, BBB also does made-to-order bangles. Samples include whimsical motifs, such as a collage of Choc-nut wrappers, The Little Prince illustrations, even Audrey Hepburn as My Fair Lady!

Finally… I got to try mineral makeup, and now I know what the fuss is all about. There are a few brands around, but what I tried is Luminare from the U.S. It’s called mineral makeup because it’s made up of a mixture of natural minerals, pulverized, without extenders, preservatives, or fragrance. (e.g. Tender Tan #8 Foundation is made of: Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxide, Serecite, and may contain Mica, Ultramarine Blue, Zinc Oxide, and Ferric Ferrocyanide)

Alright, did the periodic table just flash in your head? As a makeup, this jumble of minerals turned out pretty good.
