MAC Cebu's Grand Opening and Glitter & Ice Collection Launch
 |
| MAC at Rustan's Ayala Center Cebu |
I was ecstatic at the thought that I'd be seeing Cebu again. For me, Cebu is such an ideal city with it having the tranquil feel of a province but also the fun and liveliness of a city. Seeing mountains everyday and fresh air while I still get my shopping fix at the nearby malls is heaven! Cebu for me is like no other...
What's great is that I came back to Cebu to witness the official opening of MAC Cebu located at Rustan's, Ayala Center and the launch of the Holiday collection for 2011, Glitter and Ice!
But I'm not new to the Glitter and Ice Collection. :) My best friend, Cam, gave me her early Christmas gift that consisted of MAC Ruby Woo, Half n Half and she surprised me with the latest Glitter and Ice Collection lipstick, Soft Sable! :)
It took a lot of effort not to hop to the bed and take out all the goodies from the bag!
I sorta... did! Hehehe!
The packaging of the Glitter and Ice Collection immediately got to me. I love anything white and I'm so happy to have these babies with me!
And look, more Giftables from MAC
Khymm and Raine, beauty bloggers turned MAC Makeup Artists! Congratulations, ladies!
Raine prettifying a client. :)
Raine retouching Sophie makeup. :) How cute, right? Both of them are soo pretty!
I love the recreation of the campaign for MAC Glitter and Ice Collection that MAC Cebu prepared for everyone! They had figure sklaters in rollerblades impressing mall patrons and it caused quite a crowd at the busy Ayala Mall.
Makeup demo of course is a part of the show, where Owen Sarmiento made a demonstration of daytime to night time look using really wearable colors from MAC Glitter and Ice Collection. He also noted that ingredients used from MAC Collection have biominerals that are great for the skin. :)
the famous beauty blogger Khymm of Cebu, now turned makeup artist for MAC finds fulfillment in this new endeavor! It's always been her dream to do this and she couldn't be happier.
Sophie stole the spotlight that night, earning raves for her fabulous makeup as much Jigs stole the show with lots of fans wanting to have their pictures taken with him.

Ridge, 1/3 of the MAC Cebu Makeup Artists is only 19 years old. He reminds of Kurt in Glee. He's so skilled at color artistry and he knows MAC inside and out. Look for him when you visit MAC Cebu!
MAC pigments are love!! :)

The launch and opening was very successful!
It's been awhile that I went to an event that I didn't want to end. I was having so much fun checking out the collection as well as my MAC favorites. I loved talking to the beautiful Cebuana beauty bloggers... and boy do Cebuanas know how to shop! So happy to have met Christine, Mac, Hollie, Janah, Khymm, Raine and Reg (i'm so bad at remembering names. kill me). This is one experience I will always tresure. So happy I took so much pictures! Thanks to Sophie for lending me her camera! :)
