We climbed a lot of stairs today – 272 steps at Batu cave and more inside the cave. This stairway was recently painted so its colorful now. It used to be a wooden stairway but due to the number of visitors, they had to cement it! #batucave #kualalumpur #h2heo #eophilippines #h2heoabf #h2hkualalumpur

MICHAEL KORS UNVEILS FALL 2019 MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS AND MICHAEL KORS MEN’S AD CAMPAIGN
Michael Kors is pleased to announce the release of a new Fall 2019 ad campaign for MICHAEL Michael Kors and Michael Kors Men’s, starring Bella Hadid and Austin Augie and shot in studio by legendary photographer David Sims.
Featuring action-packed, high-octane stills and video, the new campaign—dubbed “Hell on Wheels”—plays on the brand’s travel roots and the jet set lifestyle that has long inspired designer Michael Kors. “The original jet set of the ‘60s and ‘70s showed the world how to live a fast-paced life in the most glamorous way possible,” says Michael. “Today, between the Internet and all the ways that people move through the world, we’re constantly in motion, and I wanted the images to reflect that.”
The mix of props and motion showcases jet set style in a bold, modern way with Bella always on the move, and Austin, a professional BMX rider, on his bike, emphasizing the brand’s tenets of speed, energy and optimism. “From the styling to the energy and the movement, this season’s campaign reflects today’s jet set approach to modern life,” says Michael.
The Fall 2019 MICHAEL Michael Kors apparel and accessories tap into customers’ desire for elevated sportswear that can keep up with a high-speed life. A graphic mix of zebra stripes, rock ‘n’ roll studs and the brand’s Signature logo print lend a versatile appeal to the season while statement cheetah prints punctuate everyday must-haves. For a chic escape, the Bedford group of travel luggage in Signature logo gets updated with red racing stripes.
For Michael Kors Men’s, Austin sports urban essentials including outerwear, separates, and accessories. An array of travel luggage, including the Brooklyn backpack, duffle bag and hip pack, rounds out the season. Coupled with Augie’s athleticism, the campaign brings jet set to new heights.
The global campaign will debut in August, with print ads running in fall issues worldwide. The images will also appear in digital outlets, as well as social media platforms and traditional outdoor media placement.
In the Philippines, Michael Kors is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., and is located at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street Central, Greenbelt 5, Newport Mall, Power Plant Mall, Rustan’s Makati, and Shangri-La Plaza Mall.

Sip delicious smoothness with Starbucks’ autumn-inspired beverages!
It’s officially the perfect season for coffee-lovers as we transition into the coziest time of the year. With the chilly weather and with more customers seeking the comfort of a good cup of joe, this season marks the best time to explore and discover well-crafted coffee beverages.
While Pinoys may not experience crisp autumns at home, Starbucks is bringing everyone the smooth and creamy flavors of fall with their brand new beverages, handcrafted with heart, to enjoy during this cool time of the year. Available for a limited time only starting September 10.
A returning favorite is the Asian Dolce Latte, a drink which celebrates the classic Starbucks latte with a twist from the east. The Asian Dolce is made with rich shots of premium espresso. However, the added kick to the beverage is the specially-developed sweet dolce sauce which perfectly blends with creamy steamed milk, giving it a rich, velvety texture. For the final touch, the beverage is topped with Turkish coffee grounds.
Giving customers a taste of flavors from all over the world, Starbucks is also taking inspiration from the iconic Irish Cream Coffee by incorporating delicious Irish Cream to two indulgent beverages.
The Irish Cream Coffee Jelly Frappuccino® is an instant pick-me-up, crafted with signature Coffee Jelly Frappuccino® infused with Irish Cream, topped with a smooth and rich espresso whipped cream, and dusted with finely ground espresso powder. There’s also the Irish Cream Cold Brew, made with a custom blend of Starbucks Cold Brew Coffee, slow-steeped, then topped with a float of Irish Cream, creating a silky smooth coffee experience.

Sonic meets beauty: Michael Todd Beauty
Recognizing that bacteria can grow on cleansing and makeup brushes when skin cells, makeup and moisture combine with bacteria that cling to bristles, Michael Todd Beauty perfected the first ever antimicrobial sonic beauty system that protects every face, body, and pedi brush so that its comfortable, rounded tip brushes stay cleaner, fresher longer.
Michael Todd Beauty’s Soniclear is the most fully featured sonic cleansing brush on the market today. It has six operating speeds including C-BoostTM, a stimulating pulse mode for a cleansing and relaxing massage. It also features a timer that beeps when it is time to move to the next area. This same antimicrobial technology is applied to four tools to elevate your skincare and makeup routine. Apply your skincare using the SonicEraser Pro, which has Triplex Infusion TechnologyTM. It utilizes sonic, ionic, and thermal infusion, so your skincare penetrates the skin better while also delivering an anti-aging massage.
Achieve flawless makeup application with Smart 3D Flaw-FillTM’s intuitive patent-based technology. Sonic bristle movements oscillate 424 times per second to prevent clumping by dispersing individual granules of makeup into wrinkles, enlarged pores and fine lines and ensure an airbrush-like finish with four brush heads perfected for liquid and powder makeup. Want derma-like results from the comfort of your home?
The Sonic Refresher is a professional-grade microdermabrasion system that combines diamond encrusted tips, sonic technology, vacuum suction, micronized misting, three power/speed settings, and wet/dry technology allows all skin types to target uneven, rough skin, enlarged and congested pores, and fine lines for a more youthful, rejuvenated complexion. For instant skin-smoothing results, try Sonicsmooth, the world’s first true sonic dermaplaning system for home use. It utilizes specially designed safety edges combined with sonic technology (15,480 movements per minute) to painlessly and precisely remove peach fuzz so skin is instantly smoother, softer, and brighter after just the first use.
Crystal-powered makeup: Smashbox
Celebrate beauty rituals inspired by the transformative quality of crystals in Smashbox’s seven-piece makeup collection co-created with Bri Luna, founder of The Hoodwitch, a community dedicated to creating everyday magic for the modern mystic. “It’s so important to feel the power and intention behind your beauty, connecting each look to your emotional and spiritual state,” Luna says.
The Crystalized Photo Finish Primer Water immediately moisturizes, soothes, and adds radiance to skin with a quick-dry formula that allows it to be used as a setting spray or to refresh makeup throughout the day without adding shine. Available in Crystal Clarity (lavender and sweet orange, inspired by the tranquil energy of amethyst), Aura Shield (clary sage and tea, inspired by the negativity-releasing energy of smoky quartz), and Love Ritual (jasmine and rose, inspired by the loving energy of rose quartz).
Manifest glowing skin with this 2-in-1 primer, the Crystalized Photo Finish Primerizer, formulated with Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid that hydrates skin with a rose quartz shimmer whether on bare skin or over makeup, locking it in for 24 hours. Non-greasy and lightweight, it dries within seconds to smooth the skin texture and stop makeup from settling into pores. Visualize and glow with Crystalized Shimmer Drops in Moonstone, an opalescent shimmer. The non-gritty, water-thin formula, dispensed with a dropper applicator, sets quickly to create a buildable luminosity both on bare skin or over makeup. Or go for the gel-powder formula of Crystalized Highlighter in Opti-Mystic, a warm peach iridescent inspired by spirit quartz. It has a transparent base that allows for the purest reflection of light plus a smooth feel that won’t emphasize uneven skin texture and can be applied wet for added intensity.
HyperFocal: 0

(light purple with multicolored pearls inspired by aura amethyst), and Free Spirited (coral with gold and pink pearl inspired by fire opal).
Don’t forget the eyes! The Crystalized Always On Liquid Eye Shadow is a longwearing, multidimensional shimmer that glides on without creasing, flaking, or smudging. In just one swipe, it delivers an even, lightweight wash of color across bare lids or under shadow. Available in Bronzite Bruja (soft brown with warm pearl), 1-Rhodonite Stand (mauve with multicolor pearl), That’s Fire (copper with gold and pink pearl inspired by fire opal), Dream Prism (lilac with purple and gold pearl inspired by aura amethyst), and Mindful AF (blue multicolor pearl inspired by lapis lazuli).
Palette lovers will like Cover Shot: Crystalized Eye Palette, a compact that includes six shadows and two double-sized base shades in matte to metallic and foil finishes for both dark and witchy or light and fairy-like looks, thanks to its intense color payoff and superior blendability: Heart Healer (warm champagne metallic with hot pink pearl inspired by rose quartz), Sage My Name (ivory matte inspired by white jasper), Inner G (deep wine matte inspired by bloodstone), Light Tweaker (coral metallic with hot pink pearl inspired by spirit quartz), All The Heals (deep red metallic inspired by garnet), Mystic Opportunity (cool green gold metallic inspired by pyrite), You’re Grounded (warm grey matte inspired by smoky quartz), and Hex Apparel (gunmetal foil inspired by hematite).
Spritz me before you go: Poo-Pourri
Don’t worry about going “number two,” especially in a shared bathroom, and leave it to Poo-Pourri, the original, innovative, playful Before-You-Go Toilet Spray that leaves any bathroom smelling better than you found it. Its proprietary blend of natural essential oils is formulated to trap odor under the toilet water’s surface—before you begin your business—so you can feel confident, classy, and free anywhere without harmful ingredients.

Tory Burch Collection: Fall/Winter 2019
“Our Fall/Winter 2019 collection is inspired by Black Mountain College, known for its unconventional approach to education and for shaping the trajectory of modern art in America. This season is a mix-match of revamped classics — floral prints, graphic stripes, menswear materials and romantic silhouettes. There’s a modern eccentricity to raw fringe, exaggerated ruffles, knife pleats, cut-glass jewelry, deconstructed bags and sharp boots.” — Tory Burch
Silhouettes: Fall/Winter 2019 reflects an effortless modernity with uncomplicated, relaxed silhouettes. Polished pieces — tailored trousers, structured loden coats, and classic blazers — balance billowy shapes. There is a refined magpie approach to layering — sporty parkas draped over evening gowns, a striped slip under a gauzy shirt dress.
Palette: Rooted in muted neutrals — crisp white, black and the brand’s signature navy — the collection is warmed up with earthy, autumnal hues of umber brown, deep red and cayenne. Pops of vibrant color — bright yellow and green — inject energy.
Prints & Patterns: Bold stripes, vivid paisleys and feminine florals play off one another to unexpected effect. A collage print blends archival photography and whimsical illustration.
Fabrications: Herringbones and checks are coolly classic, while crochet patches convey an understated nostalgia. Fluid ruffles and a print-on-pleat technique bring movement and dimension. Sequins and square-shaped paillettes add a rich luster. Deliberately unfinished embroideries are raw and imperfect, nodding to technical artistry of Anni Albers, a central figure at Black Mountain.
Accessories: The textural mix carries through to accessories. Loafers — a mélange of velvet, leather, and brass hardware—have a bookish sophistication while high-shine Mary Janes bring a retro girlish allure. Variations on our iconic Lee handbag — including a new deconstructed version — are key. Bold glass crystal earrings and pull-on boots channel an Eighties vibe.
Music: Produced by Michel Gaubert; “Crawfish,” by Elvis Presley and Kitty White; “M.A.Y. in the Backyard,” by Ryuichi Sakamoto; “Hurt So Bad,” by Little Anthony & the Imperials; “Love Me Tender,” by Elvis Presley.
