Get to know Darren Espanto up close and personal + Win Darren Espanto’s Signed Album “Be With Me” by Purple Plum Fairy

Darren Espanto

When I had a stint as an entertainment editor at a local showbiz online portal last year, that’s the only time I got to know Darren Espanto. Prior to that, I had to admit I knew nothing about the young lad, simply because I don’t watch TV that much as I didn’t had the time. I got to know him after I was invited to his press conference prior to his birthday concert held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. That’s how I’ve come to know that he’s a product of The Voice Kids Philippines. At first, I couldn’t understand all the adulation for Darren, to be completely honest about it. I mean, sure he’s cute. But there were many other equally talented young guys and even better looking than him. So why the hell was he getting as much attention just like most K-Pop singers do? 

Darren Espanto gamely answered the questions from the media

A Special Mother's Day Treat: Mother's Day Movie + Pampering Giveaway by PoshNails, OctoArts Film and Purple Plum Fairy

 

I have always loved going to Posh Nails. I loved its chic pink and purple color.

With the scorching heat of the summer sun along with the excitement that goes with election fever, the challenge is on to get some much-deserved pampering treatment. And when pampering and relaxation is being mentioned, only one place comes to my mind—Posh Nails!

 

Brace yourself as this summer, Posh Nails SM Mall of Asia opens its doors to the public. And they’re also introducing the latest treatment designed to spoil those hands and feet with the benefits of lemongrass and ginger

The natural essential oils from the invigorating lemongrass contains antioxidants and vitamins that prevents skin aging and pigmentation. Also popular as an antifungal with antibacterial properties, it helps prevent skin conditions. Soothing oils are also used to minimize pores and gives off a moisturizing effect as well. 

Ginger as we all know is often used in cooking. It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries now. But unbeknownst to many, ginger has properties that even out skin tones and helps improve the skin’s natural elasticity. It promotes firmer, younger looking skin and not to mention reduces cellulite.

Purple Plum Fairy's Birthday Contest Giveaway: Awesome Prizes are UpforGrabs

I've been wanting to hold another giveaway but because I've been through a recent storm in my life (which again I'd rather not talk about), it had been postponed countless of times. Since my birthday is fast approaching, I figured it's high time to do another contest for my blog readers/followers! This is my humble way of giving thanks for taking time out to leave a comment, click the like button, re-tweet my posts and by simply skimming through my blog. Since I do not really hold a contest during my blog anniversary, I'm having this simple giveaway now.

 Four pieces of Brow Vitamins roll-on from The Brow Studio (worth Php425.00 each!), 

An Acne Starter Beauty pack from SkinTrends: The Acne Authority (worth Php1,070.00, which includes Glycolic Papain soap, transparent whitening soap, clarifying lotion, dermasol lotion, keratolytic cream, and total sunblock foundation with matte finish)
