Romantic and elegant. This is how Scarlett Johansson, one of the most famous international actresses of the moment, poses in the latest MANGO advertising campaign, photographed by Mario Sorrenti. The prestigious photographer welcomed the MANGO creative team to his New York studio to perform a masterclass photo shoot in which the actress revealed her most sexy and natural side.

This campaign, entitled Summer Light, is the fourth one that Scarlett Johansson has featured in for the firm since becoming the brand image last year. Together with the actress, MANGO presents us four key trends for this summer.

Red&Blue returns to garments with a light ad-lib touch in blue and white tones. White, the summer colour par excellence, combines with different tones of blue in very light cotton fabrics, chambray and jeans. The key garments in this range are dresses and waist-height skirts featuring floral prints, embroidery, frills and lace details.

Sexy contrast reveals a clean line in which new volumes, such as A-cut skirts, sack forms and kaftan are introduced. Graphic contrasts are highlighted in prints, embroidery and jewels in natural fabrics which add richness to the purest summer lines.

With its romantic and boudoir air, Romantic Mood adorns its garments with floral motifs and a handmade look. The richness is also provided by the textures and weaves of the fabrics, producing a relaxed and urban silhouette with the introduction of rich tones and natural textures.

Similarly, South Seas features a combination of paisleys, mixing patchwork motifs, which give movement to the fluid and sheer silhouettes.

MANGO has 16 stores nationwide. Its concept is based on an alliance between a quality product, in accordance with the latest fashion trends, and value for money price.

Grapes as an ingredient in a beauty product? Really?

Now don’t get me wrong. I like grapes. As a matter of fact, it’s one of my favorite fruits. So when I was invited to cover the launch of Watson’s latest beauty product GrapeBella, I instantly said yes.

I have actually seen GrapeBella in Watsons for quite some time now. I’ve always wanted to try it but since I still have unconsumed bottles of lotion and other beauty products at home, I said I’d buy it next time.

The launch was held inside SM Makati’s beauty section. Hosted by food and wine enthusiast Ines Cabarrus, the launch showcased the different beauty products of GrapeBella.

Named after its main ingredient and the Italian word for beautiful, Watsons GrapeBella contains wine extracts from French grapes that are naturally rich in protective antioxidants. Its regenerative Grape Seed Oil moisturizes to help prevent the signs of aging for soft, smooth skin.

With that in mind, many are beginning to discover the many benefits of grapes to our health and skin.

“It has been discovered that a glass of wine a day is good for the health. The reason? Grapes! Grape juice has always been a fantastic natural source of antioxidants, and when it comes to beauty, grape extracts have been known to reduce wrinkles, reduce acne, and give skin a youthful glow among other things,” explains sommelier Ines Cabarrus.

“The launch of Watsons GrapeBella in the Philippines showcases the kind of high-quality, pocket-friendly products that Watsons consistently offers,” said Victoria H. Encarnacion, Watsons Marketing & Dept Store Business Unit Director.

GrapeBella’s head-to-toe range of premier skin products targets your whole skin from tip to toe for a complete, effective regimen.

So try one today and feed your skin with the goodness that grapes can offer only through Watsons GrapeBella.
