Holika Holika Opens First Store in the Philippines!

Hey guys!

Finally, Holika Holika has hit the shores of the Philippines!

And good news to those who frequent SM Fairview for their first store is in it! Too bad I live far from the place, I would love to go back in their store to grab more of the Holika Holika goodness! You will know why once you read the rest of this post.

The opening of the very first store of the brand in the country happened last Friday.

They invited friends, family and bloggers to this very special event. Bloggers who live quite far from the venue were picked up from Trinoma and were even treated with free Starbucks drinks! Such convenience is greatly appreciated. :)

You know it's gotta be Holika Holika when you see the cute purple and white balloons!

The event started with a store blessing...

And after that, we were free to roam around the area to check out the place. I do not know much about the products of the brand so I was really enthusiastic and curious.

There were so much stuff! And the products are so interesting and soooo affordable too!

Lots of people started to show up and browse around the store too.

I'm in-love with their nail polish selections!

And this area right here!!! I didn't want to leave it!

Then Mrs. Belinda Valentino, President of Anibela Corporation gave us a short introduction about Holika Holika, what sets them apart, and what else to expect from the brand.

Holika Holika, which means Beauty-holic, is a Korean Cosmetic brand that aims to transform one to an enchanting beauty. It has a wide variety of products from makeup to skin care! The image of the brand is magical and enchanting though now it has been tweaked a little and became a bit more feminine with the cute butterflies!

They plan to expand and open more branches. I think they mentioned opening stores in SM Southmall and 2 others soon. Yay for more stores!!!

 Here are some products that I found really interesting...

This is the first time I've seen a Jelly BB! It's so light on the skin! I'm looking forward on trying this one myself.

They have their very own CC Cream too!

 And these lip products are too cute! Especially the heart shaped one! :)

 I've been so curious to how snail BB Creams work. They are a bit pricey but maybe someday I can save up and get me one.

 

Cuuuuute packaging!

 The skin care product that I am soooo interested to take home!

It smells like sweet red wine! LOVE!

 My favorite area! The eyeliners and mascaras are BEAUTIFUL!

And after we explored the area, we were treated to lunch at MyThai Restaurant!

It was my first time to eat here and I am actually starting to like Thai cuisine!

And of course, I had to take pictures with my blogger friends!

And a group pic with Ms. Belle and the bloggers!

I also went home happy with all these stuff:

Got this from Jon for being an early bird! Thank you!

And a blogger loot bag containing all these stuff! And they even promised to send full size ones! Wow!

 And I couldn't help but buy more. Too bad they can't accept credit cards yet.. I would have gotten way more! Haha! I will still though! :P

 I'd like to congratulate Holika Holika Philippines for the successful opening of their first store! I sure hope they open one near my area! 

 Do you love Holika Holika? Which products do you use or would like to try out?

Do share your thoughts! I'd love to read about them. :)

Cheers,
