Something '90s
If you're a fan of street art and 1990s fashion, there's a newly opened store that caters to your needs. G-Shock recently unveiled its Youth Collection in its new store in Bonifacio High Street. The new store displays its Youth Collection that highlights individuality and self-expression that marries style and functionality.
Science-fiction fans can relate with the Time Distortion watches with their vibrant fluorescent colors reminding their wearers of psychedelic sci-fi fantasies.
The Ultimate Girl Fashionista of the 1990s will definitely take a look at the Baby G and X-Girl collaboration. Taking inspiration from the street fashion of 1994, this collection is inspired by music, culture, sports, and many other street scene elements.
X-girl is front and center in special design touches. The X-girl logo is printed on the band loop and also appears on the display when the light button is pressed. The brand’s well-known face logo designed by Mike Mills is also engraved on the case back. Graffiti and street vibe is underscored in the Street Spirit collection with its multicolored pieces that come with cool accents.
“Casio has developed the new G-Shock and Baby-G lines to cater to the young generation who live active lifestyles and those who do not compromise their style. They do not want to fade in the background: they want to express themselves and in doing so, they make great impressions. In other words, they stand out,” said Sena Kuroda, Sales Manager for Timepiece of Casio.
The Street Spirit Collection is available in store, while the Time Distortion Collection and the BABY-G x X-girl Collaboration model will hit stores in mid-December.
Something for him and her
For those whose smile beams as they smell a fresh bouquet, the Flowerbomb by Viktor&Rolf will provide the same joy with its explosive floral and sweet scent. The top notes tingle with fresh and sweet accords of bergamot and green tea, while the middle note is floral and opulent with intensive, sweet, and pure Sambac jasmine, seductive Centifolia rose, freesia, and Cattleya orchid. Meanwhile, Spicebomb by Viktor&Rolf is the masculine equivalent of the classic Flowerbomb.
The Woody Spicy fragrance features two diametrically opposed fragrant accords: the fiery accord contains notes of chili, saffron, leather, tobacco, and vetiver while the explosive one includes bergamot, grapefruit, elemi, and pink pepper.
Give the gift of Zen with Good Fortune by Viktor&Rolf. Resonating with those who wishes to discover the essence of their being, the scent invites those wanting to embrace their inner modern mystic to follow their own path as it awakens with a bright and aromatic note, magnified by luxurious jasmine at its center and infused with creamy and captivating bourbon vanilla at its base.
These scents are all exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corporation. Available in leading online shopping sites and department stores nationwide. For instant updates, follow @RustanMarketingCorp on Facebook and Instagram.

Something creative
With the holiday season around the corner, The Lego Group announced what kids desire the most this Christmas. In a survey conducted in partnership with global market research firm Dynata, it was found that of the 1,100 kids from the Asia-Pacific region surveyed, those between 3 to 12 years old most desire gifts that can harness their creativity and expression, while offering infinite ways to play.
Top of their wish list were toys that give them flexibility and freedom to play repeatedly in a myriad of ways (89%), while also allowing them to push the limits of their creativity (87%). The children also shared that they want toys that allow them to stretch their imagination. While screen-time has taken over both parents and kids’ lives, surprisingly, many kids still prefer physical toys over digital games, with close to 4 out of 5 kids surveyed choosing open-ended toys, as compared to just over half who chose digital games.
What is also of interest is that Lego sets were desired by both boys and girls as the gift which they most wanted for Christmas (70% for boys and 60% for girls). Conversely, other toys had a large disparity in the genders that chose them - 50% of boys versus 15% of girls chose toys like action figures, while 56% of girls versus 8% of boys chose toys like dolls.
To get families started, the group has put together the top 10 sets of the year across themes like Lego City, Technic, and Friends to build a child’s dream this Christmas. For those who love some action, they can choose to suit up and solve crimes with 60316 Lego City Police Station, a three-level set featuring a police dog training area as well as story-inspiring details such as a possible prison break with a rubbish truck by crooks; or help build the city with 60324 Mobile Crane that mimics the real life construction cranes on the road; or make tactical decisions with 42138 Technic Ford Mustang Shelby just like a race car driver using the augmented reality app and two pull-back motors to launch the vehicle.
For children who love adventures, they can make a splash with the 41720 Friends Waterpark that features the water cannon and spinning octopus; or spend a day role-playing as a princess in the 43024 Disney Princess Anna and Olaf’s Castle to enjoy hours of endless fun and storytelling opportunities. That’s not forgetting the vehicle-loving little ones who can develop fine motor skills with the 10959 Duplo Police Station.
Other crowd favorites include 71403 Super Mario Adventures with Peach Starter Course, 71772 Ninjago The Crystal King, and the 11021 Classic 90 Years of Play. Families can also gather around and fill the room with holiday spirit with the 41711 Friends Emma’s Art School that features a beautifully styled art school building and detailed set parks.
In the spirit of giving, shoppers can look out for promotions of some of these sets as well as gifts with purchases at the Lego Certified Stores. They can enjoy discounts for these top 10 gifts for up to 29% off. There will also be a Rebuild the World mall event by The Lego Group in SM North EDSA Annex until December 31 as well as in Robinsons Mall Magnolia Atrium from December 12 to December 23.
Rohan Mathur, Marketing Director, Southeast Asia at The Lego Group, said: “This Christmas, we are keen to enable children in the Philippines to build a playful holiday together with their families as we take pride in the open-ended play offered by our Top 10 sets that meets their desire to have creative and infinite ways to build and rebuild.”
Something sustainable
Watsons kicks off the most wonderful time of the year and the longest season in the Philippines — Christmas — by reaffirming its commitment to provide customers with sustainable health, wellness and beauty products.
To help the public with choosing sustainable products to give as holiday gifts and bring with them on vacations, Watsons held a sustainable holiday gifting event from November 15 to 20 at The Podium. The event spotlights Watsons Sustainable Choices, the retailers’ selection of products that are safe and nourishing for the skin and free from harmful ingredients that could harm you and the planet; those that can be refilled so plastic waste is reduced; those that contain ethically sourced and sustainably processed ingredients; and have better and more eco-friendly packaging.
“When shopping for Christmas gifts, we hope our customers consider the planet and choose sustainability. Watsons is glad to offer them eco-friendly products, which are sustainable from the materials and the manufacturing process, to the packaging, and ultimately to the disposal of the product,” said Viki Encarnacion, Watsons PR and Sustainability.
The brands that showcases their Sustainable Choices products during the event are Watsons, Quick FX, Garnier, L’Oreal, Aveeno, Neutrogena, Palmolive, Herbal Essences, Dove, Bioten, St. Ives, Zenutrients and Curls, Moringana, Gluta C, The Body Shop and Sekaya.
During the event, shoppers get Watsons Do Good canvas bags, which they can decorate with different accents. The bags are free with purchase.
After two years of being cooped up inside our homes, Filipinos are now traveling with a vengeance. This phenomenon, coined as 'revenge travel' in 2021, describes the eager need to make up for lost time by going on adventures, big-splurge vacations, and seeing friends and family more often than usual.
L'Oréal fuels the entrepreneurial dreams of global youth through L'Oréal Brandstorm, a youth innovation competition that empowers them to become the change-makers of tomorrow. In its 30th year, over 83,000 aspiring beauty innovators from 65 countries joined the competition.
For the first time in 10 years, three young Filipino visionaries win the L’Oréal Brandstorm’s global championship (Green Track) with their innovative and sustainable take on sunscreen. Bannering their innovative take on sustainable beauty, three students from the University of the Philippines - Diliman won this year’s L’Oréal Brandstorm, a global innovation competition that boosts youth employability and brings together the future change-makers of tomorrow from around the world.
For the first time in 10 years, the Philippines comes out on top of the global Brandstorm stage represented by Roque Mercado, Kara Santiago, and Julianne Ong of “Roque, Paper, Sisters” from the University of the Philippines, Diliman. Their innovative idea focused on sustainable sunscreen won the best pitch in the Green Track, granting them the coveted all-expense-paid three-month entrepreneurial internship at L’Oréal Group global headquarters in Paris.
“With the looming threat of climate change, the Filipino youth of today believes that the time to act is now. The record-breaking participation for Brandstorm this year in the Philippines and across the world shows the unbelievable power that this generation holds in creating a better future through beauty,” said Yannick Raynaud, L’Oréal Philippines’ Country Managing Director.
More importantly, the win of an all-Filipino team in a global stage like Brandstorm is a powerful inspiration to their fellow Filipinos to use their values, ideas, and talents to create a more sustainable future through innovation --- a mission that matches L’Oréal’s commitment to create a responsible and sustainable beauty for all.”
With a pool of information at their fingertips, Gen Z beauty consumers have been leading the way towards a new, more sustainable life. The youth of today shows the most concern out of any generation for the planet’s well-being by demanding more sustainable retail and encouraging others to make the same sustainability-first buying decisions.
In the Philippines, majority of Gen Z, who take up 16% of the Philippine population, are willing to spend more of their money on products and services that are not only sustainable, but also match their personal values. Believing in the power of collective choices, this new generation is hopeful that we will be able to achieve a safer and more sustainable future together.
With the theme “Disrupt Beauty 2030”, Brandstorm 2022 has garnered record-breaking participation, with more than 83,000 youth from 65 countries registered, as well earning official certification by EFMD Global as an online learning course. Nine teams representing Argentina, France, Germany-Austria, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, the United States, and the Philippines advanced to the finals after 20 weeks of intense competition at both the local and international levels. At the end of the competition, three teams representing the Inclusion, Green and Tech Tracks were selected as Brandstorm 2022 winners. As part of their intrapreneurship, the winners will continue to develop projects with support from L’Oréal, while gaining invaluable business experience at the seat of one of the world’s most beloved brands.
“At L’Oréal, we are passionate about nurturing the dreams of young beauty innovators who know first-hand what the youth of today want and expect from beauty brands. L’Oréal Brandstorm is their opportunity to bring their ideas to life, receive guidance and feedback, and co-create innovations with the greatest potential for good,” said Jean-Claude Le Grand, L’Oréal Chief Human Relations Officer. “L’Oréal Brandstorm offers local mentorship and behind-the-scenes experience on a truly global scale, setting contestants on a path towards realizing their entrepreneurial ambitions or securing a role in our industry. We are proud of all our Brandstorm 2022 entrants, enabled in no small part by Salesforce technology, which makes L’Oréal Brandstorm a first-class e-learning and community-building experience, as well as an exciting competition.”
L’Oréal Brandstorm 2022 Green Track champions shared, “The journey to getting here was not an easy feat, but we are very proud to having finished strong, granting the Philippines its first win in 10 years. Our main focus was to create an innovative product that we hope will have a positive impact on the beauty industry, so being able to win and get global recognition is very fulfilling for the team. We are really excited and look forward to our entrepreneurial internship at the L’Oréal Group global headquarters in Paris, France where we’ll be able to immerse ourselves in an innovative and inspiring environment.”

Something caring
This Christmas, give your loved ones an "alaga" or self-care kit containing some of Unilab's most loved brands of vitamins and medicines to make your loved ones feel they're taken cared of when they're feeling under the weather. LifeFood, Unilab's natural supplements label, recently turned one and marked its milestone of helping Filipinos live their lives to the fullest with a range of products that can help address specific health concerns. Two of the most popular are Astaxanthin and Curcumin, which aid in anti-aging and gut health, respectively.
Unilab remains committed to providing trusted quality healthcare to Filipino families. One of its heritage brands, Biogesic, continues to provide its unique brand of unconditional care with its long-standing partner, John Lloyd Cruz, who has grown with Unilab for the past 15 years. With Alagang Walang Pinipili campaign, the brand further humanizes unconditional care with the iconic ambassador.
John Lloyd recollects his moving experience with Unilab and Biogesic, noting that the connection with the brand is one that’s always been underscored by strong support – conversations are filled with "kamustahans" with genuine intentions.
Ready for your revenge trip? Dentiste, touted as a leading premium oral brand in South Korea, has on-the-go travel sets, mini mouthwashes, and even breath sprays that fit in your carry-on or even your pocket.

The brand also recommends using tongue cleaners, mints, and breath sprays to ensure a full day of fresh breath. The brand's products are available - both in full and travel size - online at BeautyMNL, Shopee, Lazada, or any major supermarkets and pharmacies.
In a picture-perfect Instagram and TikTok world, it’s easy to hide acne spots with a filter or a fun sticker and present the best version of yourself. But in the screen-less real world, covering up breakouts can be quite the work. While getting acne is normal, its effects on a person can cut more than just skin-deep. It can take a toll on one’s emotional and mental wellbeing, especially on younger people.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, people with acne can also develop low self-esteem, poor self-image, loneliness, and worse, depression. Acne can keep them from living their best lives out of embarrassment and even bullying in some cases.
Young Filipino content creators Leon Barretto, Hazel Quing, and Ruzz Melendez have opened about their real and raw acne stories. Leon and Ruzz shared that they have been experiencing severe breakouts throughout their teenage years — and most of them are triggered by lack of sleep, oily food, and stress for Leon and hormones, dairy, and stress for Ruzz. Hazel only experienced her worst acne at the height of the pandemic because of face masks.
While the causes of their breakouts are unique to their own lifestyles, all three agree that acne affected not only their physical appearance, but their self-confidence too. In their own experiences, breakouts made their camera-centered work more difficult and even made them lose opportunities.
With their acne journey, the three young content creators learned the importance of using the right products to treat their skin issues. One of the must-have products in their skincare routine is the top anti-acne brand from Japan, Acnes, that’s now available in the Philippines. Made with the Asian skin in mind, the trusted acne expert offers an effective range of products with the best quality acne-fighting ingredients like Centella Asiatica or Cica extract that’s proven to aid in the recovery of blemishes. Acnes Anti-Acne Spot Gel helps shrink acne in as fast as three days. With a gentle formula that is close to the skin’s natural pH level, the lightweight refreshing spot gel doesn’t irritate the skin and helps lighten acne scars.
The Japanese brand that enjoys great popularity in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand also offers products that complete one’s anti-acne skincare routine. It has Acnes Creamy Wash, an amino acid soap-free cleanser that’s formulated for sensitive acne-prone skin; Acnes Powder Lotion that can help balance sebum to prevent clogged pores; Acnes Oil-Control Moisturizer that can replenish moisture and soothe skin; and Acnes Anti-Acne Pimple Patch that repairs and heals breakouts with pus and active wounds. The brand is now available at Watsons and Mercury Drug branches nationwide, and online at watsons.com.ph and at the official Mentholatum store on Lazada and Shopee. Acnes Anti-Acne Pimple Patch is exclusively available in Watsons.
Cetaphil celebrated the launch of Cetaphil Ultra Protect with the Level-Up Series to advocate the importance of whole-body wellness, including healthy skin. This fitness activation took place in four different boutique fitness studios: Electric Studio for that cardio fix, ONELIFE Private Studio to elongate the body, Polecats to learn how to move confidently, and now Rebel to lean in and discover that well of inner strength. Each event was met with excitement from present content creators and members of the media, especially those who hadn’t done the chosen activities before. Because there were four different studios, each with different exercises, the brand was able to provide a variety of experiences.
The brand encouraged everyone to get fit in the name of holistic health, after which a full wash with Ultra Protect was encouraged because the brand knows that the skin is the first line of defense against germs; hence it is necessary to make it as fit as the body. Bodies were sweating in full force, muscles were pushed to the limit, and endorphins reached an all-time high, all in time to try Ultra Protect and to see the importance of having a clean, moisturized body.
Ultra Protect is a cleansing bar that combines the benefits of wider germ protection with gentle yet intense skin hydration. There are no compromises with its 3D Derma-Mimic Technology that cleanses the skin at an antimicrobial level with a dermatological tried-and-tested formulation, which repairs the skin barrier’s defense against water loss. It washes away 99.9% of germs and is specifically designed for frequent daily use, preventing and soothing skin irritation. The skin is now instantly protected and hydrated. The new Ultra Protect Antimicrobial Cleansing Bar is available at the brand's official stores in Lazada and Shopee. You can also find its products in Mercury Drug, Watsons’ stores, and supermarkets nationwide.
Many approach the holidays with a mix of emotions—excitement, anticipation, anxiety, happiness, and dread. The highs can easily come with the lows and there are several reasons for that. The change in weather, meeting everyone’s holiday expectations, and unattended to-do lists as the celebration draw near can all be factors contributing to the shifts in our emotional and mental state. When we find ourselves out of balance, it’s time for some self-caring to relax, reset, and re-energize.
Danarra Fresh and Care Oil has a whole line of "relaxentials" that tap into the power of scents to lift the mood, energize the spirit, and calm the mind—a perfect companion to the holiday chaos. Check out these ‘scented’ self-care strategies that tap into the potent benefits of scents:
1. Take a warm bath. When the unending holiday errands are taking a toll on you, set a time to drop everything in the evening. Have a nice meal, take a warm bath, and dab on the Lavender scent just before bedtime. Nothing quite beats the reputation of lavender when it comes to keeping you calm, prepping you up for that much-needed sleep.
2. Find some alone time. When you need to hit the ground running for the week, find some alone time to cancel unnecessary noise. Perhaps, have breakfast at a nice restaurant or start the day with gentle exercises. At work, roll on Green Tea on your pulse points throughout the day. Green tea scent is known to sharpen mental focus while keeping you relaxed.
3. Organize your day and delegate. When year-end deadlines are overwhelming, start by organizing your day and setting a system to make work more efficient. If there’s a need to delegate other tasks, talk to your boss. That’s how you take charge and take care of yourself at the same time. It helps to keep your mood positive throughout the day with the energizing and summery scent of Flowery Citrus.
4. No need to please everyone. If you’re making a list, we suggest checking it twice and trimming it down to a reasonable length. Don’t pressure yourself to buy everyone a gift, just because. To keep you cool throughout the gift-buying season, rub on the power of Classic Mint and give yourself a gentle massage. The mint scent helps regulate emotions, allowing you to keep things in perspective.
5. Hang out with friends. Find a release to offset the many expectations this season. Self-care means hanging out with people whose company gives you security and comfort. Whether it’s spending time with your BFF at a favorite café or sharing a night of fun with a group at a bar, bring along the fresh flowery scent of Young to set a light mood all throughout day.
6. Exercise. Physical activity in any form is a guaranteed stress reliever during the many demands of the holiday. Whether it’s gentle flow yoga or a sweaty game in the badminton court, the endorphins will not only make you feel good but will give your mental state a breather. The fresh and energizing marine scent of Sport is the best way to jumpstart an active day.
All Danarra Fresh and Care roll-on oils are designed to be handy enough to place in your pocket or in a pouch. Each fine fragrance is unique and never overpowering, so it’s a convenient go-to scent you can use anywhere, anytime, and in any season. Check out Danarra Fresh and Care Oil on Facebook and on Instagram or choose your scent at Shopee and Lazada.

Something award-winning
This Holiday season, Pinoys can now get a chance, for a limited time, to taste the country’s award winning Liberica coffee from Sta. Maria, Laguna in a Cold Brew Kit. The coffee used in the Cold Brew Kit won 2nd runner-up at the 2022 Japanese Barista Championship held recently in Japan.
The Philippine Liberica Coffee is being championed around the world and capturing the hearts and taste preferences of expert baristas and judges around the world by 2019 Philippine National Barista champion, Michael Harris Conlin and Henry and Sons. For more information, visit www.henryandsons and www.thevault.ph.
With cold brew's ever-growing popularity and countless benefits, it's about time someone made the process of making it super easy and affordable. “Whoever adds the water makes money, but this time, we want you to be the one to add the water, so you get to save your hard-earned money,” said Conlin.
“With the ready-to-cold brew kit, you won't have to fuss around with grind size, filters or water-to-coffee ratio. Just add water and put it in the fridge for 12 hours, and you'll have a perfectly extracted, super sweet, low acidity, low bitterness flavor-packed cold brew. Making a cold brew is now easier than ever with the Ready to Cold Brew kit,” added Conlin.
“We created this unique coffee blend to mirror how coffee is a slow and meticulous process. It takes five years for a newly planted tree to bear fruit, six months for pollinated flowers to grow into a ripe cherry, harvest and processing is three to four months, drying takes four to six weeks, and the parchment is rested for 90-120 days before hulling and roasting," Conlin explained.
"Coffee is a slow, meticulous process, so once in a while, let's pause and reflect on the hard work of the people who made this coffee and its long journey to your cup."

Something sporty
Adidas Basketball unveils The 2023 Collection: Chapter 01, the first of the brand’s series of premium offerings, nestled firmly in the “Remember the Why” ethos demonstrating the art of reduction through bold simplicity and intentional design. The apparel collection celebrates the Three Stripes’ revolutionary spirit and strips away the excess with a refreshing new palette for the game.
The 2023 Collection: Chapter 01 features an array of luxury sportswear apparel in a muted palette for the modern athlete ranging from premium sweats, track pants, sleeveless shirts, shorts and more. The collection is meticulously designed to consider effortless form and function while delivering on a style versatility – on and beyond the court.
The 2023 Collection was first introduced in adidas Basketball’s latest film that launched globally last November 21 entitled, Chapter 01: “Remember The Why,” introducing a new era of originality on and off the court. Produced by creative agency Johannes Leonardo and brought to life by the avant-garde perspective of ILLIMITÉWORLD, Chapter 01: “Remember the Why” is rooted in basketball culture and serves as a call to focus on the game itself. As “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy” by Alton Ellis plays, the film follows an unknown hooper through all the distractions of success until he finds ultimate serenity on a deserted court where it's nothing but him, the ball and a hoop.
“You never forget the first time you pick up a basketball,” said Eric Wise, adidas Basketball’s Global General Manager. “That day connected me to the game forever. At adidas Basketball, we believe that possibilities are endless when you know your why. We hope that this new era of adidas Basketball will remind everyone that the most important part of doing anything is why you started in the first place.”
