Furne Onè X Bench: Raina Hein at the Mall of Asia

Raina Hein is the new face of the Furne One x Bench collaboration perfume scent "Unholy".

Fans were given a chance to meet her at the Mall of Asia.

All they need to do is to buy one of the three Furne Onè scents. Handsome Girl has a sweet scent while Unholy has a sexy elegant appeal. I bought the Unholy, obecause what I like about it is that it has the same scent like my favorite perfume and a lot cheaper. Beautiful Boy and Handsome Girl costs Php.398 while Unholy costs Php.468. 

The event supposed to start at 6pm but because of the accident that caused traffic in Manila, the Meet and Greet started at 8pm. Most of us decided to stay and wait for her. 

Raina showed up at the meet and greet, stood in front of us while apologizing for being so late. Such a sweet person :)

Been talking to Raina for almost a year and I still can't believe that I already met her. I never expect that she will really recognized me without introducing my self when we met at the Meet and Greet. She's one of the sweetest, humble and kindest person I've known. I can say that I am so lucky to be her friend. She's really worth the wait. :) (via Instagram)

Bench x Mall of Asia: Allison Harvard and Dominique Reighard

"Wanna be on top?" That's one of the most famous lines of Tyra Banks on America's Next Top Model. Yes, I may not be a fashionista but I am a huge fan of ANTM. As far a I remember, I started watching it when it was cycle 3 already so I had to search for the past 2 cycles. Actually it came to a point that I even ask my self why am I so addicted to it, I don't even know the true meaning of fashion... I'm just a simple girl who loves wearing jeans and shirts. But ANTM taught me that it's not the clothes but it's how confident you are wearing those clothes. I also love all the contestants, their differences makes me like them more though of course I have my favorite contestants in every cycle. I remember when cycle 14, Reina Hein followed me on twitter, I was so very happy. I always hope that she and other ANTM contestants will visit Philippines.

That's the time I heard that Allison Harvard and Dominique Reighard will be part of Bench x Michael Cinco Philippine Fashion Week. Unfortunately, you can't attend the Bench PFW without an exlusive invite. Good thing, Bench had a contest and the winner will get an exclusive invite and they also had a contest for a meet and greet pass in Trinoma and Mall of Asia. I know I'm not lucky with online contest but I tried joining.. Sadly, I am right... I didn't win. But it makes me more eager to see the two of them. Seeing them will make me feel happy so I went to the second day of their Meet and Greet and it was held in Mall of Asia

I am satisfied just by seeing them in person. I didn't expect that I'll be able to talk to them... :)

Here are some of the photos:

Allison and Dominique with the Host Raymond Gutierrez

I was really starstrucked when I saw Allison Harvard. She's one of my favorite in ANTM. People say she has a creepiest eyes they've ever seen but hey! That's what makes me love her more. I love her eyes, I love her weirdness. That quality makes her more unique. She is sooo gorgeous! :)

And there's Dominique Reighard, one of the people I like in ANTM All Stars. Her song "Top of the World" is really an inspirational song for me. It makes me realize that I should not give up on my dream. We should always Dream Big! She's a very very nice person. A very pretty face with a good attitude. Everybody loves her! :)

Thank you Allison and Dominique for the hugs and kisses, I will surely cherish the moment I met you! :)

I still can't believe what happened, it is so magical. It was like a dream.
This would not be possible without the help of THE Michael Carandang and Ms. Dora, so thank you so much! :)

By the way, Allison is the model of Michael Cinco's perfume, Impalpable. I've been so in love with all the Bench Perfumes and I know this one is one of their best perfume!

Stay tuned for my Bench giveaway here in my blog, follow me on twitter for the update :) -@kriziarueka

Solenn Heussaff's Meet and Greet in Mall of Asia

July 24, 2011

You know the feeling when you can't sleep because you are too excited of something? Well, that's what I felt when I knew that I was going to Mall of Asia to finally see Solenn Heussaff. I didn't even care if I don't have enough sleep, I am more worried that if I over slept, I will never get a chance to meet her.

At exactly 5pm I am already in front of Astroplus with my friend, Michael. There was a guy who invites everyone to buy Solenn's album. I approached him and told him that I am a blogger and ask for a favor. He went inside and talked to another guy named Mark. So Mark talked to us and I told him that I want to cover and feature this event in my blog. He said that it was okay and I am happy about that. He said that the event will start at 5:30pm. Since there is still time to stroll, I decided to look for a thank you and birthday gift to Solenn. The time wasn't enough to look for something that she can keep so I decided to buy her a flower and food (Thank you Michael for the share in the food). We went back to Astroplus and I was shocked when I saw a crowded people inside. We started taking photos while waiting to her. Since I am a blogger, there is no need of buying her album but then, I envied her fans holding the album with a poster that's why I decided to buy one for me (fan girl mode). Then suddenly, someone announced that Solenn is already there. Everyone is excited to see her.

The supportive fans waiting patiently to Solenn

Solenn Heussaff's Debut Album

This is the moment I've been waiting for. She's walking, heading to her seat which is two feet away from us. And there I was, standing like a statue, staring to her. STUNNINGLY PERFECT, that's the two first words I told myself and my friend when I saw her. While still waiting for our turn, we decided to help Ms. Joy of Astroplus to promote Solenn's album. When it was already our turn, I gave her the flower and the food and started introducing my self. I told her that I was going to interview her but since there is still fans waiting for their turn, I decided not to interview her that time. The good thing is she said that there's still always a next time, and I am looking forward to that. We talked about random stuffs and asked for an autograph for me, Michael and my friend Honey who is also a big fan of Solenn. Sadly, I wasn't able to ask her about her tattoos (I am really a fan of person who has a tattoo), well maybe I can include this on the interview. :)

When I saw this picture of us, I am wondering why she looks like so serious then I remember I was introducing myself and talking about the interview. I'm supposed to be serious too but I was so distracted by her beauty. :)

I should be the one asking her questions but she's the one who keep on asking me about random stuffs. She's really cool! :)

An autograph for my friend, Michael.

Special request of my friend, Honey. :)

So yeah, I have all this stuffs when i went home :)

Solenn Heussaff is a talented actress, tv host, painter, model, fashion designer and now a singer-songwriter. Her album titled "Solenn" has 9 songs and 1 bonus track.
