Hey everyone! So today lets celebrate because I'll be sharing something that happened yesterday. I know its a big surprise that I am blogging this immediately. I just don't want to add more pressure on catching up with backlogs. And not only that I've recorded a video of the event, so you will see my edited video below. ^_^

So yesterday I attended the store preview of Uniqlo Cagayan de Oro at SM Downtown Premier. Its been awhile since I attended events like this so it was great to catch up with fellow bloggers. After the cocktails and the program, VIP guest and medias was toured around the store and got to shop exclusively after. 

Shopping was a headache because there are lots of fashionable clothes to choose from. Its a good thing that the sale representatives are very friendly and helpful to costumers.  

Uniqlo will officially open its doors to Kagayanon shoppers this coming Friday, June 30, 2017. This Uniqlo store will be the 40th Uniqlo location in the Philippines. It is also the third store in Mindanao following the recent openings in SM Lanang Premier and SM City Davao. The new store will add over 1,018 sqm of new shopping space, bringing the Uniqlo LifeWear shopping experience to even more customers in Mindanao.

As I mentioned previously, I've recorded and edited a video to give you all a preview on what's inside Uniqlo Cagayan de Oro.
By the way, since I still need to create a new personal YouTube channel, for now Ive uploaded the video on my local blog, inCDO.com YouTube channel. 

Last Saturday, I attended a makeup workshop featuring one of CDO's best makeup artist, Paola Paladio. The event was presented by Snoe, a Philippine made makeup brand.
I was actually excited for this event because its my first time to attend this kind of workshop. 

The workshop was light and fun... And I really learned a lot not just the correct way to apply make-up but some tricks on how to make the make-up last. I know you can learn from YouTube University (borrowing Paola's term ^_^) but its still different learning in actual with the expert.
It also help that Paola is so friendly and approachable because we never felt awkward or shy in asking anything that bothers or troubles us.
You probably knew by now I love Snoe haircare products from my previous blog post.... In the event, I was able to try Snoe makeup products and I must say its pretty good. The reason I cant resist but had my shopping list... So if you thinking of giving me a gift on my upcoming birthday look no further. I have already listed my wishlist for you. Thank you in advance! ;)
