Nearly 20 years after sharing the screen, the longtime friends are serving a fresh chapter filled with fab fits, flawless faces, and friendship.
Anne Curtis and Bea Alonzo have always had star power separately, but put them in the same stylish frame and suddenly, it is double the beauty, double the fashion, and double the fun.

Nearly two decades after playing Celine and Jackie in Maging Sino Ka Man, the longtime friends have found themselves sharing the spotlight in a stylish new setting. This time, there are no teleserye tears or dramatic confrontations—just polished palettes, packed bags, and plenty of pretty looks.
Their latest team-up brings together Anne’s Blk Cosmetics and Bea’s travel brand Bash, but the bigger beauty story might actually be the women behind them. Anne has long been a fashion fixture and beauty buff, while Bea has built her own sophisticated style signature. Put them together, and the pairing feels surprisingly perfect.
From screen sisters to stylish sidekicks
Anne and Bea have been friends for almost 20 years, a friendship that traces back to their time together on Maging Sino Ka Man. Now, their careers have crossed again—not simply as actresses and friends, but as entrepreneurs running their respective businesses.
That history helps make their current fashion-and-beauty era feel less like a calculated celebrity coupling and more like a full-circle friendship moment. They have grown alongside each other, gone down different professional paths, and somehow found their way back into the same frame.
And, frankly, they photograph fabulously together.
Beauty meets bags
Of course, their businesses provide the perfect playground. Blk’s travel-ready beauty lineup includes the Air Mousse Color Whip, Invisible Mousse Gel Primer with SPF 40, Soft Blur Stick Foundation, Soft Blur Setting Powder, and travel brushes. Bash, meanwhile, brings the bags, organizers, and luggage—including the B Charm made to carry Blk’s color pot.
The collaboration also introduced Jet Set, a rich berry shade splashed across select travel pieces. Bash’s lineup includes the Mini Flex Organizer and Mini Weekender Mono, alongside the B Charm and other pieces from its broader Expedition collection.
In other words, Bea brings the baggage—in the best possible way—while Anne makes sure the beauty bag is equally packed, polished, and prepared.
Their Lijiang looks sealed the deal
If there were any doubts about their potential as a fashion-and-beauty duo, their recent trip to Lijiang, China supplied plenty of proof.
Anne and Bea brought along a particularly photogenic pack: Gabbi Garcia, Bretman Rock, Kylie Verzosa, Camille Co, Rei Germar, and BJ Pascual joined them for the mountain getaway.
Against Lijiang’s scenic setting, the trip became an unofficial showcase of beauty, bags, and bold dressing. Anne and Bea naturally stood at the center of it all, turning what could have been a standard brand trip into a seriously stylish girls’ trip.
Perhaps that is what makes this duo work. Anne brings her playful polish; Bea brings her refined restraint. Their styles do not need to be identical to sit beautifully side by side.
After almost 20 years of friendship, Celine and Jackie have traded drama for dressing up—and Anne and Bea may have just found their next great double act.
