HBC's 8 ways to a Happy Beautiful Christmas: Week 8

Hi girls!

Week 8 has arrived!

This will be the last installment of the series of giveaways from PPS and HBC's 8 ways to a Happy Beautiful Christmas.
Time flies so fast! A few days more and it's 2012!

Beauty inside and out. A story of Christmas bliss is yours this week.

When we were kids, mom and dad will tell us to be good most of the time so that when Christmas comes, Santa will leave something for us. We did well in this challenge and had so much fun going back to the year that was. The Holidays call for moments of being together with old friends from college or high school, videoke nights with officemates and reunions with loved ones. Each experience has a unique story to be told and we can’t wait to hear yours. 

To end the Christmas week, we’re giving you 4 of our best bath soaps from Body Recipe. You might wonder where is the beauty element here? It’s in the spirit of GIVING the gift of beauty. 

Thank you for being with HBC in the whole 8 Weeks to a Happy Beautiful Christmas. 

Now, on to the final week’s question: 

What is a happy and beautiful Christmas for you? 

(Answer the question then post a photo of your best Christmas on your Facebook and include the Giveaway Photo below).

My "Great at 88!" Experience ♥

Hi Ladies!

Today, I was given this generous opportunity by HBC to get so many of their products -- from skin care, hair care to cosmetics! We've been using a lot of their products lately and we are really loving them. So I was really excited for this day. 

I was invited to go to their branch at SM San Lazaro wherein I can get some of the products included in their "Great at 88" Sale. Every product is worth only Php88.00! That's right! Very affordable! I was able to take home so much!!

I took some pictures of my experience:

 HBC SM San Lazaro Branch :)

 I went with my best friend, Liz. See how happy she is? She's carrying some of the bags that contained the products I got! 

 Here are the products included in the Great at 88! Sale. You'll indeed shine through the rain with these different products like hair dyes, hair care, skin care and whitening (Body Recipe), and makeup (San San and Allue).

Me with Heidi. She assisted me during the whole time I was browsing around. She's very accommodating which made it easier for me to decide which products to take. :)

And here are the stuff I got!!! Yaaay!  :D

 I immediately opened some of the products and I sure am happy with them! Can't wait to try everything else! Some of these we've used before so I'm just repurchasing (like the Hortaleza Professional Hair Colouring Cream) while the others are things that I've not used before. Can't wait to test them out, especially the Skin Lightening Powder!

 I got 3 of their San San Age Defense 2-way Cake Powder Foundation in 01 and 02 (which I think is such a great deal since it's almost slashed to half it's original price), 2 San San Pressed Powders in 01, a San San Concealer in Olive and San San Lipstick in Pink Pout (which I think will be one of my most used lipsticks for now, I just love the shade).

 I got an amazing batch of their Body Recipe products. Heidi said to try out the Body Whitening Powder so I took all the scents available! My sister really loves their Body Scrub too and the Milk lotion smells fantastic!

And of course I got their Hair Colouring Cream. We've been using them since we first tried it out! :) If you plan on buying these as well, don't forget to purchase their oxidizing Lotion! :) Also got their Shampoo and Conditioner in Apple.

I was really blown away on how much I got to take home! Actually, I still am! All of these only cost around Php2,000.00. It's an amazing deal so why not go visit the HBC store nearest you and experience for yourself this really GREAT sale! The "Great at 88!" Sale will last 'til August 21, 2011. :)

Cheers,

Body Recipe Sweat Pea Fantasy Lotion and Shower Gel

I've always loved the scent of Bath and Body Works' Sweet Pea fragrance. I usually get my hands on them when I get them as gifts from relatives abroad. I don't really look for resellers just to purchase them... it's too much of a hassle, I guess, since I'm not too particular with my lotions. As long as they moisturize and smell good, I'm happy.

 Then came this package from HBC containing their Body Recipe Sweat Pea Fantasy Lotion and Shower Gel products. I was kinda excited when I saw it. I kept repeating in my mind, "Sana kasing bango sya ng Bath and Body Works!" And I wasn't disappointed. It really smells quite like it.

Body Recipe Sweat Pea Fantasy Lotion and Shower Gel

 

 I like the consistency of the lotion. It's not too thick that it gets sticky on my skin but it still moisturizes. The smell is also long lasting. Been already hours and I can still smell it on me.

Body Recipe Sweat Pea Fantasy Lotion Directions and Ingredients

 I'm a fan of shower gels rather than solid soaps. I've tried different brands and scents from strawberry yogurt to floral scents. And since I love this scent so much, I've been using it everyday since I got the package. It's not that foamy but the scent is just refreshing!

 Body Recipe Sweat Pea Fantasy Shower Gel

The Sweet Pea scent comes with a Body mist as well. And Body Recipe has 2 other fragrance for this natural skin care line --- Cucumber Bliss and Jasmine Dream.

"The Body Recipe shower gels and lotions contain naturally-derived moisturizers that nourish skin while the body mists are infused with relaxing scents to make each spritz an enjoyable experience. Cucumber tightens open pores and has a cooling effect to gently soothe skin. Jasmine’s skin healing properties are perfect for dry, sensitive skin while sweet pea locks in moisture leaving skin soft and smooth."

 Now I don't have to buy a bottle worth Php300-400 worth from BBW. I can just get one that is pretty much like it from all HBC stores for only Php150 - hand and body lotion, Php186 - shower gel and Php99.75 -  body mist. That's around 50% off! :)

I definitely think that it's a good find. It's a very cheap alternative that delivers almost the same results. I'm curious to try the other two scents though!

And another exciting promo from HBC:
