The chosen one 
A big congratulations is in order for Pili Ani! The brand’s Self Care Night Recovery Oil is the first Philippine product to be included in Allure’s Beauty Box (for November), which is a beauty box subscription with top skincare, makeup, and more tested by Allure experts. Remember when this facial oil was included in a beauty roundup just a few months ago?

A new Estée Partner 

Renowned actress Jodi Sta. Maria is Estée Lauder’s newest and first Filipino partner! During the media launch, the actress shared her three favorite Estée Lauder products - Micro Essence, Advanced Night Repair Serum, and Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix. Isn’t it just wonderful that we have a local celebrity as the face of an international beauty brand?

A personalized present  

NARS is inviting all of us to visit its Holiday Lounge, where we can all redeem complimentary name engraving on our November 1 - December 19 purchases (both in stores and online) of select palettes, full-size Afterglow Lip Balms, Soft Matte Balms, and Audacious Lipsticks. When can we have our products engraved, you might ask? Every Saturday and Sunday until December 19 at the NARS Flagship Store in Rustan’s Makati. How fabulous! 

Okay, that’s it for this week! See you again next time!
