The plot summary given to us goes: “In the age of heroes comes the mightiest warrior of them all…After destroying the overpowering demon Grendel, he incurs the wrath of the beast’s ruthlessly seductive mother, who will use any means possible to ensure revenge. The ensuing epic battle resonates throughout the ages, immortalizing the name of Beowulf. “

I was intrigued by how this one was going to turn out, knowing that they’re doing the motion capture-slash-CGI technique. I wasn’t too impressed with how it turned out in Polar Express and was worried it would be the same deal here. But when I saw the trailer, it—thankfully—looked light years better. Plus, the story appealed to the fan boy in me (we all have those in us, right?). One more thing going for it? Neil Gaiman’s involvement as the screenplay writer. And…my girl Angelina was gets her badass on in this movie so I was totally sold!

Webmaster’s Note: On behalf of the whole ShopCrazy team and the author, we would like to apologize for how we described the incident in Glorietta. The author herself was in the area when it happened, and she didn’t mean the word “exciting” in a positive note. If that’s how she came across, please accept our apologies. We would like you to know that though we often talk about fashion and beauty, we’re not insensitive to serious matters that happen around us. Again, we apologize and we hope that this doesn’t stop you from supporting ShopCrazy.

Makeovers are always fun, and ShopCrazy’s Beauty Makeover Contest winner Angel’s, was no exception.

But before I go further, you might be wondering why this post came out only now. Just a little FYI—our makeover session with Angel had to be postponed and re-scheduled twice because of what occurred in Glorietta last month. Secondly, for this promo, ShopCrazy received an unprecedented number of entries—over 500 of you emailed us! Thanks, dear readers! So imagine the fun and frenzy the team had finding just one lucky winner!

And so finally, last Monday, Web Producer Sharline and I met Angel at the Paul & Joe counter in Rustan’s Makati.

Angel is a college student who wears minimal makeup—eyebrow pencil to fill in her brows and a little blush. She said she would like to learn how to do a daytime look. She also likes to go out to clubs and bars with friends on weekends, so she’d like to see how to do a smoky look. So we were set—we will do two different looks on Angel while Sharline took photos.

Afterwards, Angel got to choose P10,000 worth of her favorite Paul & Joe cosmetics!
