TRICKS OF THE TRADE
Booty for the beauties

IF guys out there still don’t have presents for the special ladies in their lives (girlfriend/wife, mother or best friend), here’s a tip: beauty products!

Get impressive gift ideas from these exceptional beauties, as they tell us exactly what they want to find under their Christmas trees this year.

Helena Belmonte, model

All I want this Christmas is a good hand cream and lip moisturizer. My skin tends to dry out a lot, and I can’t overlook my hands and lips, either.

Amina Alunan, bag designer

I would love to receive the Bare Escentuals Mineral Makeup line. I absolutely swear by it! I especially love the Radiance line of powders, which gives me a glow. It’s available locally at SoFA’s Retail Lab (55 Paseo de Roxas Ave., Makati City or at www.barebeautyonline.com). Plus, to pamper myself, I would also want to receive treatments from Facial Care Center (for my skin) and Marie France (for my post-pregnancy body). All these would make it a “beauty-filled” Christmas for me!

Georgina Wilson, model

The one beauty product I would love to receive is the Olay Total Effects Cream. I get it for free since I’m a brand ambassador, but everyone steals it from me! So it would be nice to receive more for Christmas.

Karen Pamintuan ,TV host

I wouldn’t mind getting Benefits Cosmetics Lipscription and Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. I’ll be spending the holidays with Brent [Javier] in Canada, so I’d love for it to be a beautiful white Christmas instead of a dry one. The moisturizer is great because it contains SPF 20 and goes well with my foundation. The Lipscription exfoliates my lips as well as moisturizes them. Purrrfect for Christmas.

Nicole Hernandez, model

I would love to have another pot of Creme De La Mer. It took me a year to find the perfect moisturizer for winter in New York! Of course, the whole set of La Mer products wouldn’t hurt as well.

Mikaela Martinez, model

I would like to receive Shu Uemura’s Cleansing Oil, because it’s something I never intend to stop using. It’s a must for makeup removal!

Bubbles Paraiso, actress

I wouldn’t mind receiving any of my favorite perfumes this Christmas—Daisy by Marc Jacobs, Incanto Charm by Ferragamo, Chanel No. 5, Sunset by Escada. I simply love spritzing perfume every time I go out of the house and before I step out of my car. It’s a beauty product that I always use, so I always run out of it.

Georgia del Rosario, model

A product I can’t get enough of and would love to receive this Christmas is Armada by VMV. It really is the best sunblock for your face. As I get older, I try to protect myself from the sun as much as possible. This product allows me to go out and not worry because I know my face is protected.
