Fluffies Do My Makeup using NYX Cosmetics

Some people like to call their followers as "fans", I prefer to call mine "FLUFFIES". I think I have told you many times that the word "FAN" really makes me cringe. It's like uplifting one's self while belittling others. Plus, I am no celebrity to have fans. The term Fluffy or Fluffies started when a few girls attended my nail art workshop a few months back. They said they want to be the soft, cuddly and fluffy clouds I could turn to when I'm feeling down or sad. I absolutely liked the idea! And besides, can you ever say the word "Fluffy" with an angry tone? I bet not! Hehe Fluffy reminds me of anything soft, cuddly, sparkly and sweet!

Because the Fluffies are the best in the world, I want to feature them in a video that is not a vlog. Vlogs are random and short, almost impaired. I want to feature them in a video where they could showcase their talent, especially when it comes to something they really love - MAKEUP!


After coming up with a video idea, the next question that popped in my head was "WHERE?!" My room is tiny and I have limited makeup so my room was already crossed out. I asked NYX Cosmetics if they would want to be a part of this and they said YES! Yay!



We filmed the Fluffies Do My Makeup video at the NYX Professional Makeup store in SM Megamall in Manila! There, we had spacious floor to move around, wide array of makeup to choose from, good lighting plus NYX also lent us their beauty ring light!


Originally, I was just going to invite 10 Fluffies. But I thought the others would want to join the fun, too. So, I also invited them to watch us! I am pretty sure they weren't bored because they also got to create different looks on themselves using all the NYX makeup available at the store.





It was such a fun day! Have you watched the video yet? Click PLAY to see what happened at the NYX store that day and to find out which among the 2 groups nailed the best look for me.



Because there were 10 Fluffies who participated in the makeup challenge, I decided to split them to 2 groups. 

The first group named themselves TEAM SHORTY. 
Say hello to Glai, Cha, Dea, Belle and Camille. 





It was chaotic yet fun! It was cute and funny how the girls tried their best to do my makeup in just 50 minutes. Everyone tried to be productive. They even attempted to do my eye brows and my eye shadow at once.

This is the makeup look done by Team Shorty. I specially liked the colors that they put in my eyes! I love how vibrant and pigmented the colors are!



While we were filming, the other Fluffies were either watching us or were doing their makeup using NYX cosmetics. I am thankful to the girls who stayed until the end of the video challenge even though they weren't part of it. 


Anyway, after the first part, I told the Fluffies to rest and grab some food. I knew they were hungry because we were at the NYX store since morning. 

After a couple of minutes, we resumed the video challenge and went on to Team 2!

Team 2 decided to call themselves Beauty Killers. The members are Anne, Raffy, Mild, Anna and Jerralyn.



Just like with the other team, it was chaotic yet fun! I was so impressed how they were able to do my makeup all at once. There were practically 3 people doing my face and 2 people behind doing my hair! It was funny but I loved seeing the Fluffies interact. It's gives me joy when they are kind, polite and respectful towards each other.


This is the look done by Team 2. They came up with dark and sultry makeup to match my dark and street-style outfit. I love how they put gradient color on my lips which I have never tried before!

In the end, Team 2 (Beauty Killers) won because the judges liked the technique that they used. They also loved how the makeup matched my outfit of the day.

Ms. Kath and Ms. Diane of NYX Cosmetics Philippines helped me pick the winner. Or course, they also gave special loot bags to the winners and consolation loot bags to the 1st runners up. NYX is really so supportive and generous! Thank you so much, NYX Cosmetics Philippines! 


Ms. Kath of NYX Cosmetics Philippines who looks so much like a Korean. Hehe The Fluffies almost said "Annyeong Haseyo" to her. Hehe

If you think the story is already finished, think again. Before leaving the store, NYX Cosmetics handed me something special! AN ADVANCED BIRTHDAY GIFT!!!



They actually gave me a NYX Makeup Traincase! Wow! I totally wasn't expecting anything from them that day. For me, it was enough that they let us filmed at their store, used all their makeup and provided loot bags to all the Fluffies. Never had I imagined they would still give me more!

Yes, the makeup train case was not empty. They also gave me makeup products! Wow, I'm crying glitter and rainbows now because of so much joy. 



A HUGE thanks to NYX Philippines for being one of the most-generous brands I have ever worked with. I never receive any money whenever I promote them but I just love doing so because they are such a genuine brand. I also think having a good relationship with a brand is better than getting thousands of pesos and just working once and never keeping in touch. 

And the biggest THANK YOU to all the Fluffies who went to the NYX store that day. I've done a lot of Meet and Greets recently that it scares me to organize more now. I get afraid that no one would show up now that most of you have met me already. But you always prove me wrong because the sweetest Fluffies always show up at every gathering. I am truly blessed and am always grateful! Thank you, Fluffies, for spending your weekend with me!


Because I am such a clingy person, I asked some of them to stay after the event. On times like this, I usually do not get to bond and talk to everyone so I always ask whoever is available to stay for a little more bonding. 

Yup, always set a good example. Keep right when you want to stand whenever you use escalators. ALWAYS keep the left side open for those who are rushing or those who want to quickly go up. I wish I could tell that to everyone I see standing on the left. Haaay.


My favorite place to bring my Fluffies whenever we are at SM Megamall is Hobing Bingsu. Well, if they had SeolHwa Cafe, I would have taken them there. Hehe I just love Korean Bingsu and I want my Fluffies to taste it, too.



I know, asking you guys to stay a little longer was too much considering you have other things to do. But thank you so much for staying! 

I wish I could bond with all of my viewers and my readers like this. No cameras, no vlogs, just pure friendship.
