What's in Bianca Valerio's bag?
Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 8:50AM If you know your local fashion ABCs, then you should know who Bianca Valerio is. Aside from being fashionable and multi-talented (she's a makeup artist, TV and events host, and model, among other things), Bianca sets herself apart by being intelligent and incredibly frank. She's honest where other celebrities would play coy. Example: when asked where she got her jacket, Bianca said, "From Hong Kong! It's only P500!" If she said it was from Chanel, we would have believed it.
Bianca has a knack for looking expensive from head to toe, but this girl is a bargain hunter at heart. Her "designer" bag? From a tiangge. Her accessories are only a couple of hundred pesos from Bangkok. Thus, it's no surprise that she agreed to be Colour Collection's Chief Makeup Artist considering her passion for spotting great, affordable finds that work.
I'm sure a lot of girls are wondering what Colour Collection is by now. It's Tupperware's makeup brand! Who would've thought that the plastic container giant dabbles in makeup? Colour Collection is a cosmetics line that balances quality with dirt-cheap prices, a philosophy that Bianca Valerio lives by.
You don't believe me? Well, look at what's in Bianca's bag!
Drugstore product love: Godeferoy shaving blade, Clean & Clear Oil Control Film, Odors Away Odor Eliminator, Revlon Lipgloss, Maybeline Watershine Pure Lipstick (Natural), Clear Face Intensive Blemish Clear Patch, First Choice Lip Conditioner
Noir Sexy Little Things, Dove Go Fresh Body Mist, Colour Collection Lipstick Sheer Dainty Peach, Clinique Happy, Win Rinse Sanitizer, Vitamin C Spray, Maybeline Angel Lift Ultra Affinity Foundation
And of course, Color Collection! The BB cream looks promising, the lipstick is awesome, and the mascara is surprisingly good. Reviews soon.
Love it. To be honest, I was not expecting a lot from Color Collection makeup. The packaging looks cheap and the makeup doesn't look anything special at first glance. But after using the lipsticks and that mascara that they gave me, I am now seriously impressed. And to think that most of the makeup is less than P400!
It's so amazing how even if you think you know all the makeup brands out there, there are those like Colour Collection that blindsides you and makes you feel like you know nothing about cosmetics. Thanks to Bianca Valerio, we are all the wiser.

What brand is her bag? :)
Hi K! Sorry I didnt get to ask, but she said she got it from a tiangge.
I own 2 lippies from colour collection - Vintage (bright matte) Paradise pink (NARS Shiap alternative according to Shen). Love them to bits!
i want to try the colour collection BB cream and all other products now that I know that most of them priced below 400 pesos. for a practical person like me who just learned to love make up, there's something new to try out! thanks for this post:)
her bag is so cute. it was the first thing i noticed in the pic and it DOESN'T look like it's from the tiangge!!
Hi, Liz! Really curious on where to get the DOVE GO FRESH BODY MIST? Just asking if you ever encountered it around the malls/grocery/drugstores. Thank you very much!
I still can't believe that BAG is from a tiangge! O_O
OMG! We have the same stuff. We are just like each other! LOL <3 <3 <3 http://on.fb.me/f9BFM2
ooh! i can't believe that most of the things in her bag are drugstore brands!
i'll be waiting for those reviews!
@newhere: you can buy the Dove Go Fresh Body Mist at First Aid in Greenbelt 3 or try to visit Cash and Carry's mezzanine level where most perfumes,mists, colognes are available. :)
p.s. ms. liz you look like ms. crystal belo-henares :)
Thanks, Menchie! Appreciate the help very much. Cheers!
Hi Liz and to everyone who posted,
Thanks so much for taking such a sincere interest in the things I shared regarding all things kikay BUT practical :-)
First, my bag is from Korea, purchased from street vendors.
Second, the DOVE mist is from First Aid if I recall the name correctly, in Greenbelt 3.
Third, yes all my things are mostly low-cost, generic but more importantly, effective! Feel empowered when you know you didn't spend a lot but look/feel priceless!
Lastly, you can catch more valuable and quirky tips on season 2 of F.A.S.H. (Fashion and Style Hub) this April 28 on Lifestyle Network, Channel 52 Sky Cable.
Take care and feel free to ask me anything on my website,
Bianca

Thank you Liz for supporting and showcasing locally made brands. And also, thank you for featuring Ms. Bianca Valerio! :) Great job!
