A multi-talented star who’s up for any role life throws at her, Kyline Alcantara takes on a new and exciting journey of being the newest face of Ever Bilena!

Charming, beautiful, and hardworking, Kyline represents the ideal Ever Bilena woman. From a young girl who is not afraid to follow her dreams, to a teen actress who is now making her way to stardom, Kyline wants to inspire young girls to be confident, true to themselves, and keep their elegance no matter where they go.

One of the most versatile young talents in the country today, Kyline perfectly captures Ever Bilena’s essence of being a makeup brand for every Filipina beauty. The 19-year-old Kyline can effortlessly shift from being a talented actress, to belting out OPMs as a popular singer and posing in front of a camera as a sought-after model.

Kylie, who is best remembered for her convincing portrayal of her roles in Annaliza and Kambal, Karibal, is now set to join the cast of I Left My Heart in Sorsogon. The 19-year-old star, who shares her career journey and every day adventure with her 3 million followers on Instagram, is ecstatic about being the newest brand ambassador for the country’s number 1 makeup brand.

“I’m very happy and proud to be a part of Ever Bilena’s family. I hope I inspire people, especially young girls to express themselves, and not let the norm and society dictate how they look. I want to encourage them to have the confidence to show their true beauty, be unique and stay true to who they are,” Kyline said.

Kyline’s makeup favorites, which she keeps in handy during lock-in tapings, include the Ever Bilena Lip and Cheek Stain, Ever Bilena Absolute Matte Lipstick, Ever Bilena Matte Two Way Cake, and Ever Bilena Pro Lash Define Mascara. These, she says, help keep her looking beautiful and confident with every take.

“We are very pleased to have Kyline with us as she represents an empowered young woman who is versatile, full of dreams, and with a strong fighting spirit,” Dioceldo Sy, Ever Bilena CEO said.

“It is with great pleasure to welcome Kyline as the newest face of Ever Bilena. Together with Kyline and our other endorsers, we hope to inspire and empower every Filipina by celebrating their true beauty,” Denice Sy-Munez, Ever Bilena Chief Sales and Marketing Officer added.

Last week, BDJ Box and Pixy held a make-up workshop and asked us to bring our make-up kits. I'm so happy because aside from Pixy products, I can use my own tools to keep up with the tutorials. Instead of bringing a make-up bag, I put my essentials at the Beabi bag organizer that was a gift from an officemate during Christmas. It was pink, has so many pockets, and I really organized my stuff well. So are you ready to see what's inside? Read on to find out.

I'm not experimental when it comes to lipsticks. I'd often go for a lip gloss or pink ones because being morena, I can't seem to carry the red swatches. This Christmas, one of the favorite gifts that I received is from my Besty Mela, the FS Dark Rum Night Light, and let me show you why I was so giddy about it.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet -so is Etude! Everytime I go inside an Etude House store, I always feel like a pampered princess. Maybe because their shops are all in pink, and last year, we even met Betsy, their pink VW car (with lashes!) And since this blog is composed of everything sweet and fun, I was so happy when they invited me to see their newest offering - the Sweet Recipe collection - held at Tous Les Jours in Eastwood.

Blush Away: Forever21's Love and Beauty Blush

Blush Away: Forever21's Love and Beauty Blush

Posted by Ria Hazel on 2:28 AM in Beauty, blush, Fashion, Forever21, love, Love and Beauty, make-up, SM Makati,

I'm not much of a make-up kind of girl. During college, my bag only contains of three beauty products: Powder, Lip Gloss and a Comb. Unlike my best friend Carmela, I'm not fond of Lipstick either, just a simple lip balm will do. And that is why when I graduated from college and had my first job, I was such a klutz in putting on an eye shadow. I even thought blue was the nicest of all colors in the palette. Thank God for beautiful officemates who know how to put on even a mean mascara, I finally learned a bit about drawing colors on your face. Hence, my latest buy, Forever21's Love and Beauty Blush (Php285). 

Since I had credits left on my Forever21 Gift Card from last year's Samsung event, I thought of using it during my latest trip to SM Makati. I was contemplating on whether to buy the eye shadow palette but I'm not into bulky packages, so I got this blush instead. I was just raving on how pink it is. I tried it last Friday and I just love how it compliments my "morena" skin. 

And since I'm a klutz, Forever21 Love and Beauty's mirror and brush at the lower side is just perfect if I'm not carrying my mirror with me. It definitely saves my things from clutter too because I don't need to buy a separate brush. Just perfect for on the go girls like me.

*Updated:

Due to Gellie's request, here is how it looks when applied to the skin. And I just love how pinkish and natural it looks in my color. :)

Forever21 Makati is located at the Ground Floor, SM Makati, Tel. no. 553-0448.
