Staying shiny

This summer is all about gloss. No more teachers, no more books but I don’t know about the dirty looks. Being the hottest chick this summer means having insider information. It’s almost done and after your fourth trip to Bora, you swear you can feel sand in your work pumps already! Even for beach bunnies, island fever can get to be too much and getting in touch with the real and cruel world can be strangely comforting. So why not take the best of the beach to the city?

Tan Without The Sun

Feel like a Kenny Roger’s meal already? Well, your roasted ass needs some aloe and you need to hide from the sun pronto. Bridget Bardot scared the living hell out of us not just with her bigotry (she said fags reek), but also with her lizard-like skin. Wasn’t she the unofficial patron saint of St. Tropez once? Now she looks more like Coney Island to me. Anyway, as a former sun-worshipper and converted fake tan devotee, nothing could be more delicious than the Phytomer Bronze and Glow treatment at Gateway Spa in Quezon City. The 90-minute treatment includes a relaxing scrub to do away with the dead skin and keep your tan lasting longer. The Phytomer bronzing spray is applied to the body. The experience beats a day at the beach!

Juicy Gossip

Ever since its launch, Juicy Tubes has been the must-have of every fight chick. I’ve been their most obsessed consumer. I am sort of not proud to say that I have almost every Juicy Tube made, from cocktail-inspired Juicies to mood-enhancing ones (yup, that was a limited-edition collection!) Yet I still get excited when something new comes out. This season, a lip-plumping Juicy and the much-awaited Juicy Gelee is hitting the stores. I’m already a fan of both, which have this incredible no-slip, no-stick texture. It’s like having silicone on your lips – highly-addicting. The lip-plumping gives a shot of color while fattening your kisser to Jolie-standards for four hours of non-stop moisturizing. And it comes in sherbet flavors you and you lover will adore. The Juicy Gelee is more about concentrated flavor and lasting shine and it comes in a pot, a must for collectors!
