Store openings have always excited me, especially with my background in design. I enjoy observing how products are laid out and how the atmosphere is crafted to make shopping feel both inviting and effortless. It’s in the little things—the flow of the space, the textures, the lighting. So when Happy Skin opened its flagship store at SM Aura, I couldn’t help but be curious. The brand certainly didn’t disappoint, offering a space that felt thoughtfully designed and very on-brand.

Canmake is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and the festivities in the Philippines brought the party to Mitsukoshi BGC. Shoppers enjoyed a playful setup featuring a makeup gachapon, a mini-roulette, and a grand raffle draw with a P40,000 prize, all while browsing new and best-selling Canmake goodies.

To mark the milestone, Canmake also launched three new products focused on the eyes: one for brows, one for lashes, and one for the undereye area. All made in Japan, these releases blend function with that signature kawaii aesthetic the brand is known for. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to Canmake, the anniversary lineup is a fun way to celebrate this beauty icon’s big year.
