MANILA, Philippines - How does one maintain that flawless and healthy look from day to night? The secret lies in the purest and most natural of ingredients found in Laura Mercier’s line of beauty cosmetics. Enhance your natural beauty with Laura Mercier’s wonders: Foundation Primer, Shimmer Bloc Limited Edition Baked Illuminating Powder, Loose Setting Powder, and Satineé Crème Eye Colour.
Just as a painter primes a canvas, Foundation Primer by Laura Mercier in 1995 primes the skin. This lightweight, creamy, and colorless primer creates an invisible layer that acts as a buffer to outside elements. It is packed with vitamins A, C, and E acting as antioxidants to protect the skin from harmful, aging effects of the environment. Cooling Foundation Primer in the refrigerator refreshes and reduces puffiness on the skin.
To add a youthful glow to the face and body, Laura Mercier creates an innovative product — the new Shimmer Bloc Limited Edition Baked Illuminating Powder. Shimmer Bloc combines baked technology with a modern, wearable shimmer that leaves the skin gleaming without being too frosty or metallic.
Laura introduces a new smooth and creamy yet long-lasting Satineé Crème Eye Colour that imparts a satiny luminescence. It is drawn from key ingredients such as pearls and blended silicones, providing lush color and soft-focus pearl for that luminous finish. Available in Cocoa Velour, Ecru Silk, Peach Organza, Pink Chiffon, Rum Satin, and Stone Suede.
Laura Mercier is exclusively distributed by Rustan Commercial Corporation and available at Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-La Plaza, Alabang Town Center, Robinsons Place Manila, and Ayala Center Cebu.

Cream Silk recognizes the power of women
Lack of the family’s financial resources constantly worried Chaitanya come tuition time, while education was not an available option for Sigrid and her mother.
Determined to pursue their dreams, they applied and were accepted into the Cream Silk scholarship program, when it was first launched by Unilever in 2008. Because of the scholarship, both are now sophomores at the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD), proving their resilient nature by fearlessly studying fields not too many women would choose — metallurgical engineering for Chaitanya and electrical and computer engineering for Sigrid.
“Knowing women’s important role in society, one sector we chose to focus on was their education, which is the pillar of a better future. Good education, as we all know, opens up one’s mind to endless possibilities and opportunities. Indeed, an educated woman is an empowered woman,” says Cream Silk brand manager Anna Karina Castillo.
UPD Chancellor Dr. Sergio S. Cao commended the Cream Silk WEP for giving women such an opportunity, despite the economic crisis driving most companies to cut costs.
