As the illustrious season of hearts draws nearer, Elizabeth Arden once again brings to women their latest Ceramide Make-up Collection. Powered by the advanced treatment technology of Ceramide science, Ceramide Makeup is considered as the first word in skin-caring beauty. It brings more color and anti-aging benefits to its collection with two luxurious new products, plus an exciting new range of lipstick shades: Ceramide Skin Smoothing Concealer, Ceramide Cream Blush, and Ceramide Plump Perfect Lipstick.

Reduce dark circles and hide other under-eye flaws for that romantic dinner with Ceramide Skin Smoothing Concealer. It goes beyond hiding dark circles and minimizing the appearance of fine lines as it firms and tones the look of delicate under-eye skin caused by a colder climate or lack of sleep.

The soft and creamy cheek colors of Ceramide Cream Blush blends evenly, bringing a natural-looking glow. It visually lifts and contours the look of cheeks while providing anti-ageing protection. With a dewy finish, it gives any style maven that fresh and youthful glow.

The five new shades of the Ceramide Plump Perfect Lipstick brings effortless style as it takes its lip plumping, moisturizing, and voluptuous color line-up to a whole new level. Its picture perfect shades with the long lasting effect match with any individual statement coming in Perfect Scarlet, Perfect Melon, Perfect Tulip and Perfect Flamingo.

Park Jun’s Beauty Lab

KOREA’S TRENDIEST BEAUTY LAB INVADES MANILA!

One of Korea’s fastest growing salon, Park Jun’s Beauty Lab finally finds its way to fashionable Manila! And bringing with it the homegrown expertise of Korean hairdressing, Park Jun’s Beauty Lab aims to create new looks and styles for people to express their individuality.

parkjun1.jpgpark-juns2.jpgpark-juns3.jpgpark-juns4.jpgpark-juns8.jpgpark-juns5.jpg

It all started in1972 when Mr. Park Jun began to take interest in the beauty industry.

 parkjunjun16.jpg

He pursued a hairdressing course in Korea and joined numerous contests to harness his forte. Finally in 1981, he opened his first salon “Park Jun Beauty Town”, and through his participation in elite hair shows in countries such as Moscow, Beijing, London and Canada, his salon’s fame grew. By 1999, Park Jun already had more than 200 salons in Korea and overseas.

park-juns6.jpg

Today, Park Jun’s Beauty Lab brings the latest trends and hairdressing techniques to the Philippines through the skills of its Artistic Director, Kino Lee; Creative Director Maiya Noh; Style Director, Jinny Kim; and our very own Filipino stylist, Aldous Ong. 

park-juns7.jpgpark-juns15.jpgpark-juns12.jpgpark-juns11.jpgpark-juns13.jpgpark-juns14.jpg

This 2009 “women’s hair trends will play to the extreme” shares Maiya Noh. “We will see more of the bob, bangs and fringe hairstyles in different lengths and volume.” Jinny Kim also introduces Park Jun’s Beauty Lab’s unique services such as Volume Rebonding, which not only straightens out the hair but gives it volume, and Volume Magic Wave that creates perfect and more natural looking curls. Stylist Al Ong also stresses this season’s highlight on the curls which is also one of the salon’s specialties through Perming. Finally, Kino Lee offers Korea’s edgy hair styles for the stylish Filipino men, “Men can try a decorous or asymmetric cut if they have a natural wave. Something like a twist of the classic school boy cut with a bit of rocker-edge.”

park-juns16.jpg

Kino took care of me last week and he is really good!  He was very concerned about my hair and he taught me how to care for my hair.  They had gadgets which I never saw in any salon in our country - instead of the normal steamer they put when you have a hot oil, they have this machine that they put directly on your head and the temperature is just right

park-juns9.jpgpark-juns10.jpgdsc_1557.JPGdsc_1589.JPGdsc_1605.JPG

With the combination of style and artistic skill, Park Jun’s Beauty Lab invites everyone to come and visit and to try out a new fashionable look.

Park Jun’s Beauty Lab is located at the G/F Glorietta 3, Ayala Center Makati City. In between Hard Rock Cafe and Gloria Jeans.  819-3001 to 02. To know more about them visit www.parkjun.com.
