!PICK OF THE WEEK!...Tis the season to pick Avon !!


"BGG e" was one of those ladies that use to buy name brand makeup such as MAC, Lancolm, Shisheido, etc until she realized she doesn't wear much makeup to begin with; it also blew her budget. The active ingredients are basically the same with all other lines. It definately is understandable if you have sensitive skin and have to buy certain products etc but as far as wearing lipgloss or eyeliner - can you spot MAC a mile away? lol.

She's been using Avon lipsticks and eyeshadows for quite sometime now and absolutely loves it. This past friday she purchased a few items online and sure enough it was delivered to her door w/in 2 days - now that is convenient and just in time to show off her fresh look for the weekend.

Check this out...
"BGG e" purchased this item for only $10.00
4 items all plugged into one HOT PRICE !!

Look Alert Eye Brightener in Illuminating Pearl .04 oz. net wt., a $3.99 value.
Ultra Luxury Eye Liner in Black .04 oz. net wt., a $5.00 value.

Winner of BGG Messenger Bag...



Congratulations to Alain Ranay of Bolingbrook, IL !!

He was the lucky person that was picked at random to win a Bastos Girls Greetings messenger Bag !! He participated at the FACT event in Champaign on Oct 24-26th.
Just because he is a guy doesn't mean he cannot use it... We also suggest that if he feels uncomfortable carrying it around then pass it on to a female sister or friend so they can make use of it. His bag is on it's way...


For those who participated at the CFAFF event on Nov 7-9, we would like to take this opportunity to meet you and also to thank you for your support and encouragement. At the end of the month we will pick another name at random to win this ever so bastos messenger bag. Keep you posted !!

CFAFF Event 117-11/9/08

Hi All!
Just wanted to share my experience this past weekend with you.
I had such a good time ! It was tiring but all worth it. Funny thing is I was not there to make a profit, I was there to get the word out for Bastos Girls Greetings and also to assist our pinay indie artists with their business' as well. A few of you mailed your promos to me and that reached at least over 600 people. Every opportunity counts so I hope the next event that will take place, YOU too will consider sending some paraphenilia.

So, this weekend was simply "blissful". I met so many people and networked with alot of key organizations. Most of us have full time careers and families to take care of etc, yet somehow we all put that aside for this event to show off and share our talents and passions. What I've learned so far in the beginning stages of BGG, is to just Believe ! I am not the most talented artist out there, nor do i have all the resources to be full blown BUT what I've learned is if you have a passion and just commit yourself and open the doors to ANY opportunity, you will be led to the right path of success. I personally do not know how far Bastos Girls will go but after FACT and CFAFF events, I feel accomplished and wealthy from within. I wish I would've taken more pictures but just go to our blog: http://bebotsquad.blogspot.com and look at the slideshow on the left.

so my fellow bebots there is a big promo coming next year in san fran. I hope you consider being a part of it so we can move forward with our dreams - no matter how small or big.

so looks like we will be using this catchphrase for our group:
bebotsquad, the place where "indie arte" belongs

what do you think? ttyl !

FACT CONFERENCE - URBANA, IL










This is the very first BGG participated in a university event AND from this experience it looks as though we will be partaking in future events with them as well. The compliments, encouragements, suggestions and even just being a part of the college scene really inspired us to create cards that would relate to such energetic, young people that will one day be running our world. Glad to be part of it!

What a difference we made...

Sent by StrayNation on October 19, 2008:

hi! I haven't purchased anything from you yet but I check your shop every now and then and Ive told my whole family about it. I'm half filipina and I don't know Tagalog but I do know alibata. I just wanted to let you know that I am excited to see you are offering cards with alibata. It's such a beautiful script. Thanks for offering it. I'm really happy to see your shop is doing well. Your shop inspired my friend and me to open a shop together too ( www.kittencrazies.etsy.com). Have a lovely day! Stephanie
