My mother’s day celebration came early via our trip to Singapore. So when the boys said they were going to watch the finals between Talk N Text and San Miguel at Araneta Coliseum over lunch, I said “Sure!” This would be another chance to explore the adjacent mall and give you, my readers, a preview of whatever fab things I’ll find at Gateway Mall.
THE BQP’S FAB PICKS
THE BODY SHOP
Located on the first floor, this store had a display of assorted skin products at the entrance and sale signs all over the place to entice passersby to come in. I tried their chocolate flavored lotion but the smell was more like coco and not the sweet , rich scent I was looking for. Next, the salesperson offered me a liquid honey bronzer in a small tube. The tint was too dark for my complexion so I passed on that as well. Then on the corner of the display table, I saw a box of eye make-up with a sign that says “PICK ME”. I felt like Alice in Wonderland being guided by the signs (Remember – Drink Me, Eat Me ?)
I have to tell you that I don’t know how to put make-up on. The boys say I look better without any “goo” on my face but for some reason, I’ve been buying little pieces here and there. Have to include “Learn how to put on fab make-up” to my bucket list.
CLNThis store carries shoes, clothes and accessories. After a quick scan of the place, I zeroed in on the sunglasses display case. I immediately fancied one with big tortoise frames.
PARFOIS
I really like this store. Everytime I visit this accessories haven, there’s always something that catches my eye. Yesterday was no different.
Shopping is made easy in this store because the accessories are arranged by color. Where else will I go except to the blue section! 🙂
PROMOD
This clothing, shoe and accessory store suits the BQP’s fashion taste. But with tops selling at PhP 2000 pesos (and above), shoes at PhP3000 (and above), you must choose something that you’re sure to use many times over to get your money’s worth.
CHARLES AND KEITH
This store keeps getting better with time. Although I prefer the shoes (the BQP will be writing about her fantastic finds in this store in a separate post) to the bags, I found some arm candies yesterday that are worthy of my recommendation.
These bags are a little cheaper but equally functional
Like before, the two hours the boys spent watching the PBA game, was simply not enough for me to cover the whole mall. I did enjoy the time I spent just browsing the stores and looking for things to show you. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY ROYALS!

I love those CLN shades! Oh, and also those fringe bags <3.
The fringe bags would look nice on you, I think.
I love the sling bags and the white shirt from PROMOD…The backless dress is a big NO for me
Diet and exercise — we must do these soon!
Love the bags!! 🙂 Especially the blue, light green and snake print 🙂
Very affordable too!
