Too Cool For School is Now at Glorietta 3!

Hello loves!

I'm very excited to announce that the cool and quirky Korean makeup brand, Too Cool For School, is now available in Glorietta 3! Yaaaayyy! They opened their sixth store last May 29, 2015 and I hope that they'll open more soon. 

I was so happy when I heard about this news because I rarely visit the other malls where their other branches are at (SM North, SM MoA, SM Megamall, SM Southmall, and BF Parañaque). I frequent Makati more I guess (even though I live in the city of Manila which is half a hour to a full hour drive depending on the heaviness of traffic).

Anyway, if you wish to visit Too Cool For School's Glorietta branch, it's actually a mall kiosk located at the ground floor of Glorietta 3, just in front of Lacoste Footwear, Terranova, and Steve Madden.

It's pretty easy to find because the quirky design of the brand is very noticeable along with the very original package design of the products. (I'm such a fan of their product designs)

Quoting the brand's Marketing Associate, this branch will "carry the newest beauty products, quality skin care items, and cool beauty tools & accessories. This includes the ever creative Too Cool Lines; Anke, Mc Girly, Dinoplatz, Check, ZA, Rules, and Art Class."

They celebrated the branch's opening last May 29th with a huge sale! All of the products you see below were at 25% off.

And if you were able to purchase products amounting to Php 500.00, you can get a Too Cool For School Creamy Glow Pen as a freebie! The deal was super awesome because one lipgloss is worth Php 500+! But this was only applicable in the Glorietta branch and only 20 lucky buyers can avail this... and I was one of them, I was the 16th person to get the freebie!

I got it when I purchase their Magic Pore Balm! Yayyy! I super love the shade of the gloss because it's nude and very wearable. I'll post a swatch post soon.

Unfortunately, the sale and the lipgloss deal was only until last Sunday, May 31st. I hope some of you were able to avail this awesome deal. :)

And thanks to Too Cool For School for these items. Liz and I are fans of their Morocco Ghassoul line so I love that the cleanser is included. The tumbler is super cute and I use it everyday at work for my morning coffee! :)

So do drop by the newest branch of Too Cool For School and enjoy their lovely products.  :D

Cheers,

UNIQLO is now at SM San Lazaro

Hey everyone!

Japan's number one retail clothing apparel brand is finally at SM City San Lazaro last December 5! This is their 20th branch in the country and I'm so happy that it's so near my place! I live near UST and SM San Lazaro is only around 10 minutes away so YAYYY! 

I got to visit it a few hours ago for the first time and I was surprised at how big the store was... well, compared to most stores in that mall. The store is located at the upper ground floor near the event center

Inside the store, what I first saw were these big red sign boards that show great deals on their apparels and other merchandise.

And of course I noticed those colorful Christmas decorations! 

There are so many good deals. I believe there's something for everyone! Just check out these awesome deals for those who love Disney characters.

Other famous cartoon characters are also available in the limited discount offers. 

I'm definitely loving the scarves and I think my friends would love to have some of those beanies! Ooooh! I'm definitely going back to do more Christmas shoppings!

 And of course, the kids would also enjoy browsing the kids' section and I'm sure that the parents won't mind buying these because of the good deals Uniqlo offers.

And of course I scouted some really pretty stuff I'd like for myself!

I really like those mini skirts... and they're on sale too! I especially love that floral one at the back.

And cardigans! Woooot! Perfect for the cool weather we are having right now.

You can get them for Php 990.00 now. Such a steal compared to its regular price of Php 1,490.00. 

And I'd also want to stock up on plain tees! Everyone needs them!

I also saw some great finds for men.

 These slim fit jeans is a winner for me! I bet my bro would like to get some of these.

You can get them at Php 200 off! Awesome right?

And are you running out of Holiday gift ideas? Then Uniqlo has you covered!

They have isles with these suggestions ready for you. 

I enjoyed browsing the store and you just gotta love Uniqlo because it offers a big variety of stuff from shirts, jeans, and jackets, to scarves, underwears, and socks in different styles! And they all look so easy to wear and I bet you'll find one that would suit your taste whatever your personality is. I honestly didn't expect that I would find one because I like girly dresses but I did find that awesome floral skirt! 

So why not drop by SM San Lazaro and take advantage of the sale while it's there? It's a great place to update your wardrobe and also find great gifts for your loved ones! ;)

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!

 My transpo buddies—Erika and Carizza

Me, Erika, Kira and Carizza

Say, Kira and me

Sai, Erika and Carizza

Donnarence and me

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,
