WARNING: This post is photo-heavy.
Last week, I attended the Zalora Philippines Grand Launch at Sky Lounge, Bonifacio Global City. It was a fashion event so I looked into my closet for something fashionable and comfortable. I wanted to wear a skirt or a dress but, since Nani and I were going to commute, I decided to wear my harem pants. Mahirap makipagsiksikan sa MRT na nakapalda. So gora na lang maghaharem pants ako. I also found my sleeveless top which I bought a long time ago.
I finally used the ELF Beauty Manual Face Edition and I was impressed. I loved the shimmering creams. They made my skin look healthy and glowing. :) I'm currently eyeing on the shimmering palette by ELF. Kahit walang blush basta may shimmering cream, ok na ako. HAHA. To compliment my natural makeup look, I used Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks in Mauvey and Off Beat Pink.

Apparently, I love wearing pearls. :) I didn't have any other accessories that would match my outfit so, I thought, my pearl earrings would do.

Now let's go to the main event: ZALORA PHILIPPINES GRAND LAUNCH. I think the company did a great job on marketing its website and its business idea- bringing the ultimate online shopping experience in the Philippines. I was already aware of the company prior to the invite because I saw their ads in Facebook, Youtube and other websites. It carries a number of local and international brands and it continues to expand not only with brand choices but with the product categories as well. Aside from shoes, clothes and accessories, it also offers home and living, and sports products.
Another great thing about this company is that it has same-day delivery and free shipping nationwide. WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR? If you don't have the time to visit a mall, Zalora is the best place to go. It's a girl's best shopping buddy. Moreover, its website has a very appealing interface- very neat, organized and user-friendly too. Now if you're still unconvinced, let me tell you that it also offers Cash-On-Delivery (COD). That means you don't have to make a deposit in a bank unlike the payment routines with other online stores. Thank goodness to the persons who made these things possible.

And these are the men who made ZALORA possible.
I definitely want to try buying from Zalora. The only thing I need now is the money to buy items from the site. HAHA. Frugal me. >_<
Before I end this post, let me just share with you the person I was with the entire night. She's my savior! :P Sobrang lost talaga ako. :P Good thing I met this wonderful lady and had a great company during the event.

Both of us agreed to go home early since I have Nani waiting for me outside the building and she needed to finish some work. However, we didn't leave the premises until we took some vain photos together. HAHA. Pinag-interesan namin ang photobooth. Kailangang makapagphotobooth kami bago umuwi. :P Pati Ladies' Room nabiktima namin. lol.
Thank you Nuffnang and Zalora for this event! :)
At salamat din sa aking Pangga na walang sawang sumusuporta sakin. :) Talagang hinintay niya ako. Di lang yon, hatid sundo pa kahit sobrang init at nakakapagod ang biyahe. Tas sobrang layo niya pa sa may amin. :( Swerte talaga ako sayo, lablab. :) Minsan napapaiyak ako kapag uuwi na siya sa kanila tapos medyo late na at alam kong magcocommute lang siya... kasi alam ko yung feeling e. Haha. Sacrifice talaga yung ganon lalo na kapag mahirap sumakay pauwi. *biglang nagreminisce... gumaganon*
I LAB YOU, PANGGA!

PS. Belated Happy Mother's Day! :)

Awww... Salamat talaga Jenny! :) Yung ELF manual nasa Php 300+ ata pero may nakita akong shimmering cream palette sa ELF tingin ko mas mura. Sa foundation naman, current favorite ko yung The face Shop Foundation pero kasi nadiscontinued na siya. Bili ko lang kasi don Php365. Sayang. Kaya ayon tinitipid ko yung foundation ko na yon. >_< Try mo yung Fanny Serrano Two Way Cake. Maganda siya talaga lalo na sa oily or combination oily skin. :) BTW, register your blog sa Nuffnang. Dun ko lang din nakukuha invites e. :) Tsaka kahit naman walang event puede din tayong magkita :P Link to comment

ReplyDeleteWelcome! Na-amaze at nacute-an ako sa FOTD mo e! Yung shimmering cream ba yan yung nasa Elf Book mo? Or the ones na mabibili for 129 pesos? Wala na nga kong foundation e, thinking of what to purchase. Ako rin, kelangan ko muna magtipid ngayon. hehe Mabuting bata ka! Apir sayo! Uyy, oo ba! Di kasi ako napapadalhan ng invitations ng kahit anong event e, hehe. Pero I would love to meet you too dear!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny! Mukha lang flawless face ko pero bonggang breakouts ako nung araw na yan. :P Try mo talaga yung shimmering creams. Mapapakembot ka sa ganda! hehe. :) Ako di pa makabili sa Zalora kasi wala akong pera o baon. Walang pasok e. Nagtatrabaho nga ako sa negosyo namin pero di naman ako nagpapasweldo. :P At tulong ko na rin sa parents ko yung hindi gumastos. HAHA. Chos. Anyway, sana ikaw naman mameet ko sa susunod! :)
