Guerlain Fan

I am now officially a Guerlain convert!

Guerlain KissKiss Gloss gives just the right amount of shine that lasts. Its water-resistant formula keeps your lips glossy even after a meal (provided that you don't wipe it off with your napkin, of course!)

The brands I liked before were Philosophy and Bloom, which were both great--but this baby has definitely taken their place. The Rose Sunset shade is perfect worn alone or over nude or light pink lipstick.

Guerlain is available at Rustan's Shangri-La and Rustan's Makati.

The boys can keep it cool and rugged with these sneaks. If you want to look more put-together, wear 'em with khakis and a button-down shirt in red, white, olive or a shade of brown.

I'm a big Post-it junkie, so this special Post-it page is perfect for me. The kraft pocket also comes in handy for pieces of paper like notes and receipts.

The quality is also really good, with a hardbound cover and hard plastic covers on both sides. It's a steal at 400 pesos!
