Philosphy Merry & Bright is Perfect for the Season

Brace yourself, you will be seeing happy, cheeky faces on photo below because that is exactly how we felt when we visited Philosophy's newest branch at Glorietta 4. 



After years of hoping they have a self-standing store just like our neighboring countries, my wish finally came true!  You get to see them at Greenbelt 5 and Mega Fashion Hall as well!  And this time, the visit was perfect because I just prepared my "gift-giving" list and Philosophy definitely will be part of the gift-giving brand!  I mean seriously, who does not like to receive a gift from Philosophy?


You won't miss the store for sure as it is well-lit and you will see a huge sign of Merry & Bright.  Indeed, 'tis the season to be merry and bright!  Clueless on what to give?  Men out there, here's a cheat sheet!




Before I talk further regarding the Holiday Collection, let me tell you about the store itself.  Upon entry, you will immediately see the holiday sets all ready to make someone happy!  I love the cute box packaging because you can definitely get away "not wrapping" a gift because the box itself is cute enough!


You want something "Philosophy" but you're on a tight budget?  Feel free to browse through "My Purse Gift" section!  I highly recommend you to try their High-Gloss, High-Flavor Lip Shine!  For this holiday, grab Have A Cherry Christmas or Peppermint Stick.  These are high shine lipglosses that leave the lips smooth, hydrated and yes, they can soothe my very dry lips! 

Lip Shine priced at Php645.00 each.

For someone who visits the store for the first time, you won't get overwhelmed or lost because the store is so easy to navigate!  Just like a school library -- but more intersting!  #LOL

You get to see the LOVE corner wherein you will meet Philosophy's best-selling products!  I mean, if it is your first time to try the brand, why not go for their bestsellers?

Then you get The Peel Corner, this corner is for girls and boys who like to do some peeling action to renew their skin for healthier glow!


And if you are looking for skincare products, fret not!  Just worry about what your skin type is and the rest will be easy!

Mattifying, Brightening, Age-Defying and Moisturizing Corner.  
I see myself looking into Brightening, Age-Defying and Moisturizing!  But believe me when I say, the Mattifying corner caught my attention as I'm looking for such products for my clients.  Any feedbacks?   Recommendations?

And then, you will also find the Anti-Aging corner! 
 

To keep the look of the store simple and meaningful, you get 4 chapters of Philosophy ---

Chapter 1: Purity - Cleansing and Peel
Chapter 2: Hope - Moisturizing
Chapter 3: Miracle - Anti-Aging and Expert Care
Chapter 4: Grace - Fragrance, Bath and Body, Gifting

I definitely enjoyed hovering around the store, exploring the bright, clean store like a library!

  1. I have been wanting to try their Hope in a Jar, and When Hope is Not Enough serum, but Megamall is out of my way. Good thing they have a new branch in Makati.

    Where is the new branch located? Greenbelt 5 or Glorietta 4?
