Late Post! My NIVEA Glamboard Express Entry

About this time last month... (yeah, this is how late this post is... My apologies!) I became a finalist for the Nivea Glamboard Express Contest and this was my entry!  The prize?  Well, php 10,000.00 worth of shopping from Mango and a whole lot of other goodies!  While I didn't get to win and while its a been about sometime already, I just wanna say thanks to my friends and their friends who took time to leave a comment and vote!  It was a first joining an online contest and hopefully not my last!

Anyways, check out my entry below!

CHEERS!

You're A Winner! Finally, the NIVEA + MANGO Outfit Poll Chosen Entry

First off, a big thank you to everyone who took time and voted via the NIVEA + MANGO Outfit Poll last August 8!  Nivea and Mango enjoyed reading your votes and while we had hoped that a winner could be announced over the weekend after the event but seems they had a hard time picking one out!

BUT finally, they have declared a lucky winner who gets to bring home some awesome goodies courtesy of Nivea!  Took the liberty of taking a screencap of our winner's entry and here it is!

OUR OUTFIT POLL LUCKY WINNER!

Congratulations JAS!  Thanks for your styling insights too and I'm quite addicted to the lace trend too so luckily that look won the poll!  I'll be corresponding with you via email so I can send your goodie bag by next week!  Enjoy those skin treats!

Til' the next one!

Cheers!

P.S.  Time to check out NIVEA's Glamboard Express Facebook Application! :D

Disclaimer  :  The winner for the Outfit Poll launched last week will be announced in the next post... FINALLY!!! Exciting treats for our lucky voter!  

Just last Thursday was NIVEA + MANGO's Glam Express.  Finally, it was the launch of the NIVEA Express Hydration Body Lotion and their Glamboard Express Facebook Application, which is a joint partnership with Mango.

At the event, I got to try on the lotion and with my sponsored Mango Outfit (especially chosen via the Outfit Poll, a big thanks to you guys!), I felt like a walking tester for the bloggers at the event.  Needless to say, I went home that night with uber smooth, hydrated skin!  I'm not one to complain since I get so very addicted to lotion (my friends and family can attest to that!) and I guess, the Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion is a treat cause the lotion isn't sticky and you only need about 30seconds for it to dry on your skin.  Super like right?

NIVEA's Ms. Raisa and Ms. Ida gave the guests a good look at the 100 years that has been for the brand.  I especially enjoyed the Nivea AVP with their vintage commercials!  Learned a thing or 2 too from the Hydra IQ clip which had me google "aquaporins" when I got online!  Curious?  Learn more from NIVEA's Facebook Page : https://www.facebook.com/NIVEAPhilippines

Had a blast at the event and got an awful lot of tips and inspiration from chatting with the top fashion and beauty bloggers at the event.  Made me realize how awfully far I was from becoming a blogger but they were nice enough to stress that what was important was to not stop blogging!  Yes, lets try doing that, eh? :D  Special shout out to Ms. Roanne of All The Vanity and Ms. Earth of Earthlingorgeous. 

On top of all that, my thanks to NIVEA, MANGO and Yehey! Digital for trusting me with the event!  I genuinely enjoyed the night and I hope everyone did too!

CHEERS to expressing your style and flaunting your smooth, hydrated skin! 

P.S. Here's a post from Ms. Earth about the event!  http://www.earthlingorgeous.com/2011/08/nivea-glam-board-express-event-mango.html

Goodies and treats for all!  Watch out for the next post as we reveal the Outfit Poll's Lucky Winner!

Pre-HOST POST : Nivea + Mango Outfit POLL. Special Prize Up for Grabs!

BE PART OF THE OUTFIT POLL AND BE THE LUCKY WINNER OF A NIVEA + MANGO PRIZE!

Just about a month ago, I was already slated to host an event for NIVEA + MANGO and from the get-go, the event is a treat for every fashion gal!  GLAM EXPRESS : A Bloggers Event invites fashionistas to "express your style and flaunt your beautiful, hydrated skin."  The event will bring together the industry's top fashion and beauty bloggers as they experience first-hand NIVEA's Express Hydration Body Lotion - a product that's a sure must-have for every fashion gal - and be the first to try out the Glam Board Express Facebook Application.  On top of that, they also get to bring home fabulous gifts courtesy of NIVEA and MANGO.

Now, I don't want to give too much away since it won't be long til the event so while waiting can be cruel, you can bet that these treats will be worth your wait!  And while I am quite the self-confessed lotion freak, I'm right along with you guys, getting thrilled to be part of the project and the product's big reveal.


So last Thursday, after a meeting and a hurried lunch, I was off to Rockwell for my MANGO outfit pullout.  With their resident stylist out of town, I put my styling skills to the test to come up with an outfit that expresses my style and of course, flaunts my hydrated skin!  I also tried to work with the colors blue, white and silver (NIVEA's colors of course!) to keep with the theme!

AND here's the exciting part... An OUTFIT POLL!  Here are 3 possible outfits for the event and I'd really appreciate your help in choosing which one you think is best!

There's more... A SPECIAL PRIZE courtesy of NIVEA and/or MANGO will be given to the lucky voter/commenter on this post!  The winner will be announced by the end of the week!

To keep things organized, here's the suggested VOTE / COMMENT FORMAT:
     NAME, EMAIL
     VOTED LOOK - WHY

EX. 
     L.A., laferriols@gmail.com
     LOOK NO.1 - coz I like white!

A big THANK YOU in advance to everyone who will take time off their sched to leave a comment or two.

Come Thursday, the chosen outfit will make its official debut at the event!

Cheers!

1st LOOK  :  SHEER ELEGANCE

I was going for sophisticated chic meets a lil' bit of grunge.  I especially loved the lace top and the shorts cause they give the outfit texture and character.  

While the event is wanting of skin, I didn't want to over kill it, sans the blazer!

Plus, white feels so right, don't you think?  

2nd LOOK  :  COLOR BLOCKED 

Color blocking is quite the trend these days and if you don't want to mix and match, a dress that does the job is always a treat!  You just have to remember to not over accessorize cause you might kill the outfit as a whole.  Moderation is key!

3rd LOOK  :  CHILL PILL

This for me is the most laid back outfit of the bunch.  When it comes to dressing up, sometimes its the simpler looks that just come off effortless.  

Remember, true style isn't always trendy!

Advance thank you to MANGO for my outfit!
