Last Sunday, I attended my very first beauty event at SM Aura. It took me some time to decide since I don't know the place and our school's recognition day will be held the day after the event. I still pursued to go because I want to go far because of heart problems I encountered during those times! I won't tell you in details. Haha.
Anyway, BDJ Box Beauty Social Tres Chic was held at SM Aura Samsung Hall last March 23, 2014 and it's my first YES to all invites I received since I started blogging. As much as I would want to cover events, I just cannot since Manila would cost me a lot of time and money, not to mention conflict in work schedules among others.
I arrived late when I was about to be there at exactly 1pm. I arrived 15 minutes late because I was asking around since I wasn't sure of what to ride to arrive at the venue and I need to commute from Pampanga to Manila just for this event. I wasn't able to calculate the time. I missed getting my seat on the assembly hall so I just got photos of Sara Black discussing tips on how to get nice photos.
Since I was late, I roamed around to see what were the booths that participated on the event.
 |
| Makeover at Ellana Minerals (They're kind enough to give samples) |
 |
| Covergirl's Booth |
 |
| Brushes at Real Techniques |
 |
| I should have bought one bottle of this! They tried it on my hand and provide a sample too! |
 |

| PAC and Biokos together in one space |

Finally, my next talk was Primed and Ready by Benefit. I got a good seat at the center so I can listen well and learn some techniques on applying makeup during summer. It was a wonderful talk and I was happy that I got the exclusive BDJ Box that has all the wonderful Benefit products inside. You can view my unboxing post
here. :)
After the talk, I got a loot bag. The contents inside were actually few but together with the freebies I got on other booths, it makes it plenty. :)
I also got some photos at the photo booth there. I went solo so it's obvious right? Haha.
I want to thank BDJ Box and everyone who made this event a successful one. Even though I was all alone, I never felt lonely back there. If only I can make it longer there but I have to leave early again since I have classes the next morning. I wish I have someone with me next time. ^_^
I hope next time the venue will be near because I feel I can't go that far again. >.< Perhaps Trinoma or North Edsa? Hihi..
Again, thanks BDJ for that wonderful event.
Xoxo ♥

I was unable to be in this event kasi malayo. I think I missed a lot of cool events. I wanna be there because of make ups tips and tricks and to meet also the bloggers. Daming free service in every butique and it made me "hinayang" talaga. Huhu. Next time, I promise to myself that I will participate talaga at BDJ events.
ReplyDeleteGo sis. It's worth a try. It's my first and it's nice to experience those kind of events once in a while. ;)
DeleteOh my gee. Super layo ng pinangalingan mo Ms. Tet, I am very inspired by you! :) What's ur heart problem? Please always be happy and stay postive. Napapasa mo kasi sa aming mga readers mo ang good vibes and you made us smile and informed in every post :) Anyways, I heard a lot aboout BDJ, specially their BDJ box and I really wanted to try them soon. I don't know about this event, but it seems so fun to be with! Sayang, sana nalaman ko agad so I can meet you and have fun in different booths. Maybe next time, I will try my best to know about this :)) Sana mas malapit, para mas accessible ang place. Yay! Thank you for this post <3
ReplyDeleteSayang. I have a spare invite and I tweeted if anyone wants one. Perhaps you didn't notice it on my post. Sana nabigay ko sayo since the person I gave it to makes no paramdam in the event.. :(
DeleteI won't leak any heart problem of mine. Haha. But I'm all good. Thanks sis. :)
I remember going to BGC from Cavite(sounds near but not that near) to claim a prize. I know how it feels but, you're only 15 mins late, did you miss a lot with that span of time?
ReplyDeleteThe event started at 10am but the talk where I signed up started at 1pm. I guess I could say I didn't miss a lot since I made use of my time wisely when I arrived by visiting booths etc.
DeleteWow! I almost attended this event and could have learned a lot from those speakers as well. :) I like Bifesta products.
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried Bifesta though sis. Wish I could have seen you there. :)
DeleteThis looks like a cool event to attend. I agree that it should be at SM North or Trinoma next time since I'm just nearby.
ReplyDeleteYes, two votes for that. :)
DeleteI missed this event because I was out of town.. Would have tried a lot of the products from the booths.
ReplyDeleteNext time sis let's go together para may kasama na ko. :)
Deleteyou are the girl before me sa print social photo booth... looks like you have lots of followers... wacoal ads is running in your blog... wow! haven't blog about the event though.
ReplyDeleteReally? Cool! How's the event for you? :) Next time sabay tayo sis. Haha. :)
DeleteLooked like you had fun. The free products would lure participants and spectators. But not my thing though.
ReplyDeleteSurely you'll enjoy too if you got friends with you. :)
DeleteLooks like a fun experience! This is my first "peek" into a BDJ event hehe. I enjoyed looking through your photos.
ReplyDelete... and it was my first-hand experience of an event. I was just looking through photos before. ;)
DeleteThis look like a really fun and refreshing activity for you with all those products available.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's also a refreshing way to be out of town - in my case. :)
DeleteOh yeah and there was really a lot of product here for you to enjoy.
DeleteThe event looks fun. As it promotes beauty, well everyone is in support of that.
ReplyDeleteYes, I even noticed boys there at the event. So let's ALL support beauty. ;)
DeleteYou seem enjoyed this event and it is sad that it is only for ladies I hope there is also event like this for male bloggers.
ReplyDeleteNot really.. There are gents inside the hall and they were given samples on booths as well and treated to facial and the like.. :)
DeleteSo how can a gents like me participate in this event ?
DeleteYou can walk-in during the event itself. You may not be given loot bags since it's for those who pre-register but you can enjoy the services on the different booths. :)
DeleteLooks like an awesome event. Good thing you took the time to attend. Looks like you had fun :)
ReplyDeleteI had. But I think it would be better if I have my friends with me.
Deletesuch a lovely event!! I always get invited and cover events here in malaysia. just very lucky to be always chosen as the only pinoy in the events here. nice to hear that you enjoyed it. hope to see more of your events sis! x0~ www.tauyanm.com
ReplyDeleteI hope to get more too. If only agencies would extend their market here in the province, it would be an advantage on my part. :)
DeleteSuch a great event you had there,would love to went there next time.
ReplyDeleteDrop a message if you will so we can meet each other there. :)
DeleteI love to see the event... I saw hot chic in the picture.
ReplyDeleteAre you referring to the person? Haha. The event is called Tres Chic though. :)
DeleteI was there too and I went alone because it was my first time to attend a beauty event. Maybe next time we can go together in case BDJ will hold another event. I enjoyed the event too :D
ReplyDeleteReally? Oh. I got a message from Karen too that she went alone. Next time let's join forces sis. Hihi.. Perhaps the beauty social on September? I hope I'll have time then. ^_^
DeleteEvent venues which are usually far from where I live prevent me from attending more events than I would like to but it is fun.
ReplyDeleteThis one taught me lessons regarding attending events. I really enjoyed it I must say,but it's really not practical for me since I live so far away and used additional budget than what I previously calculated. If events could come near me and if I can add another task to do, then I guess I'll be attending more events next time. :)
DeleteGreat event though I am not into makeups obviously! Haha :) Cool! Great post :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a really fun even to go to!
ReplyDeleteYes it was a fun event and loads of pretty stuff. :)
DeleteI think it was a nice event although I am not into make-ups also hahaha! Cute pictures. Cute and dainty indeed. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you. :)
DeleteI also have a friend who attends these kind of events. She invited me one time and it was fun. She got tons of free stuff! Hahaha! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is my first, and this is my first to get free stuff too. Haha
DeleteWow! Good thing you finally attended. It looks a fun event!
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed. :)
DeleteMore items for this visit and freebies too. You're lucky to attend this event of beauty products.
ReplyDeleteYes I am. :)
DeleteI never attended BDJ events pa kasi I'm based in the province. I always envy my blogger friends in the Metro who are able to attend the chic and beautiful events that BDJ organize for the bellas! And their latest event was great.
ReplyDeleteWhat province are you based? I am also from the province and I tried this as my first. I would like to attend future events if it's nearer.. :)
DeleteWaah I missed this event! Looks really fun though. Would have gone gaga over the makeup. Hehe
ReplyDeleteYou can attend the one in September sis. We can go together then. :)
DeleteThis seems like a good event for beauty and fashion bloggers. And it seems like you had a great time too! :)
ReplyDeleteYes it was. :)
DeleteVery great event indeed. I was there with my friend. She invited me to join her and we both registered for the event. It was cool and very interesting! Makes me want to buy and try everything! Haha but ofcourse I wouldn't, It will be very costly! Maybe one at a time! I super enjoy the first talk with the BDJ beauty ministry! I learned a lot of beauty tips! Also the Primed and Ready beauty talk by Benefit! They have the best looking and very creative names for their products! Will try them as soon as I can save money for them! I learned alot of things that day! Hopefully next time I could join again. Thanks BDJ! P.S. I love all the freebies ♡♡♡ (lootbag/boothsfreebies/pics)
ReplyDeleteI am on the same talk. Oh, if only I had knew you then, I would talk to you. :)
DeleteNot very familiar with most brands here. Are they mostly local mineral cosmetics?
ReplyDeleteThere are some but not all are mineral cosmetics.
DeleteWow, you're so lucky for attending that event. I am sure you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI "kinda" enjoyed it. Would be better if I have someone with me. :)
