BENCH: The Naked Truth Preview and New Endorsers

When BENCH does a show, we all know it's going to be of epic proportions! The bi-annual Jeans and Underwear show from this brand just gets bigger and bigger every two years and we've got tons of stars we've never seen clad in the best intimate wear and jeans from them. Well, since you've been very good kids, we're going to give you a glimpse of the show this coming September 19, 2014. We'll also throw in something really good for you as a bonus because they also announced their new endorsers. It's a little rainy outside I know, but I think you'll be kept a little warm when you see this on the runway come the fashion show entitled THE NAKED TRUTH!

The venue was pitch dark and they started with a man and a woman in the center clad in spiky shiny crystals. They show the themes on the screen and as I see it, they are showing phrases that connects with the TRUTHS that they want us to see. In different forms, different terms, different meanings.

Then from the opposite side of the stage, these three models came out with masks and a helmet made of leather and more of Bench's intimate wear. Add to that black lace and more leather straps, it's a nice evening to see that for the start. I don't know if Michael Cinco or Furne One had a hand on this but it is reminiscent of their design. I like what I'm seeing.

They changed themes t The Animal Within, so yes we saw two men going at it. They wore those feathers which I saw with Joey Mead a couple of seasons back. Men wore their white Bench Body underwear too. Then, a little rain.

Ellen Adarna for Bench Body

The stage was almost pitch dark when the event started. Then out of the shadows, two Swarovsky crystal encrusted gloves started hitting a full punching bag in the middle of the ring. I was loving what I was seeing as the lights carefully showed the lines and contours of her body. 

Then she goes on hinting us with her Bench Body outfit, stunned us with an all red number. She didn't stop there though because she used the punching bags and kicked it like a pro.

She whisked nearby but I could only see a glimpse of her from where I am but up close, you can see the details of her underwear, the red fabric and near mesh on the sides doesn't discomfort her at all even if she had to move a lot during the more athletic part of the show. This, while staying sexy.

 And ooh... this is my money shot. She went ahead and stretched a bit in the center of the ring and this gave me chills. Ellen Adarna is truly SEXY! This is because what she wears just accentuates her body... all courtesy of BENCH BODY. Then after that, the girls all came out and whipped their you know what all over the stage..

Then Ellen came out and put on an athletic shirt, took out her jumping ropes and skipped away. She was so awesome in the center stage doing some fancy footwork and exhibitions with the ropes. The guys had a field day!

Then the guys entered the stage one by one. Warning (NSFW)

Bench Body Whitening Lotion Made With Nanobright Technology

When we got an invite by Bench a few days ago, I was a little clueless about what the buzz was all about. A new product seems to be in the works and they were announcing it Friday. Bench/ is home for me so I visited the place and had myself settled in a dreamy white room filled with media, Bench celebrities and executives. It was indeed a wonderful white night!

Bench/ Body then came out with these three new whitening products developed with nano technology to give you the skin you deserve. Hydra White is both a whitening and hydrating lotion that's got milk, b vitamins and a 48 hour moisture lock, all of which promises us to whiten skin in 7 days. It also repairs rough and dry skin so if you are of this skin type, be glad that Sam Rodriguez (daughter of 80's actor Miguel Rodriguez) is here to represent you. She says that Bench/ Body Hydra White is not sticky and she loves the fact that he hydration lasts 48 hours and maintains that supple soft skin that everybody wants.    

Sam is into production (even at a very young age) so if you often see some music festivals outside of Manila, she's probably part of that. A budding entrepreneur and marketing diva she says it's important in the business to actually present yourself well and if that takes to apply something like Bench/ Body Whitening lotion to hide those small imperfections, she's all for it! She's so thankful that Mr. Ben Chan has given her the opportunity to be with the Bench Family. She's bound to have more appearances soon and it's so nice she's starting with a world class brand!

Another lady appeared and I think I've seen her a couple times already. She's Dominique Cojuangco (daughter of Gretchen Barretto and Tony Boy Cojuangco) and she's apparently back in the Philippines for a few weeks. She already left Saturday to continue studies in London. She's been living quite independently and is enjoying being a normal person taking trips on tubes and seeing museums in that city. She says she enjoys life there but terribly misses Manila which is still home. Proud Mum, Aunt and cousins were in the audience and made sure they rooted for her. This is after all the first time she's endorsing a product and trusts Bench for all the right reasons. She says she likes Bench/ Body Supra White because it's the most intense whitening lotion in the line. It's got nano encapsulated glutathione and SPF10 that also promises whiter skin in 7 days and protection from the sun. It's something that has been researched well and you've probably seen people who have tried Glutathione in this country. It did wonders right? but this one would only be in a very complete form, affordable/competitive price. She also says she loves the sun protection because it's the cheapest way you can get away from wrinkles and botox when age starts to show. 

Natur White endorser Addie Manzano (daughter of Edu Manzano) unfortunately wasn't there for the launch. The Bench/ Body Whitening Lotion Natur White varian has got a light and fresh feel to it that is best for sensitive skin. It's based from Papaya and natural extracts and promises the same whitening effect in 7 days plus it evens out the skin tone.

7 days? Yes you can. There's no reason why you shouldn't have fairer skin this summer now that Bench/ Body Whitening Lotion has arrived. If you want to see more, check out this video they just released and see how it feels to have whiter, sexier skin! Nanobright technology makes the particles so small that it easily gets absorbed by the skin... faster... whiter!

Bench Scents: Isabelle Daza's Ritual and Univers!

I love runway and I love scents. It's the perfect marriage if you ask me. Bench always has the good stuff and this event was no different. They just recently launched a new eau de toilette and body spray designed and inspired by the one and only Isabelle Daza. It's about time if you ask me. She's darn gorgeous and of course she takes a gene or more from Mom who won Ms. Universe right? Let's see what transpired that evening at the Trinoma Activity Center.

The stage was set! They built their own Mom and Pop shop right in the center and it was reminiscent of Soda counters in the 1960's but it was nothing old. The theme was just right. It was classic and judging from the smell I got in the sample bottles they got me, it's fit to be used by Men and Women. How can you go wrong with that?

Pretty "swing" dance numbers came after. Then we saw the star of the evening, it's Isabelle Daza!

Then she bade goodbye and made way for a short fashion show featuring Bench's (still) summer collection and a whole lot of body spritzers for the audience. Fashion with a scent, why not!

Easy going, light and colorful fabrics with prints and different patterns. It can work even on rainy days! Who says you have to be gloomy and dark on this weather?

Then the men came in and proved my point =)

Ritual Deo Cologne is for those who love something light and fresh. It's grassy, cedar and flowery undertones that is not too girly gives it a spot on the more "unisex" sector because it can be easily worn by men. The UNIVERS bottle on the other hand plays a more dreamy, flowery and woodsy notes that can also work both men and women. Isabelle had a hand designing these two fragrances because she thought of something that can be totally attractive to both sexes. It's something that can't be contained in one's sexual orientation. It can be the perfect gift for your partner or just for personal use everyday without smelling too strong or too girly when that time comes you get smelled by other people. Admit it, they do!

Friends, relatives, executives from Suyen Corporation, Ben Chan himself and Isabelle Daza's supporters were all in attendance. They got hold of what Isabelle wants in a perfume during the show. Our own Ms. Universe Ms. Gloria Diaz was also in front to see her daughter and Bench celebrate her new fragrance!

Spotted my crush Jasmine Maierhoffer too! ^_^ hihi!

Then Isabelle Daza was given a bouquet of flowers by her Mom and of course Mr. Ben Chan.

Congratulations Ms Isabelle Daza for becoming Bench's latest Scent endorser! Rush over to Bench Lifestyle stores to get hold of Ritual and UNIVERS to experience how it is to have the smell that Isabelle loves in spray cans and bottles. I wore it today and I smell so nice that my friends ask me about it. It's time to fulfill your fantasies by having one now! It's about time!
