The Body Shop Holiday 2025 Product Recommendations

 

It feels like just yesterday when I published my last post, but I shocked myself when I realized it was all the way back on September 29, 2025.

Where did the weeks go?

I’ve been incredibly busy catching up on work, hosting gigs, planning PR consultancy projects, and hopping from one event to another while celebrating the holiday season.

One of my must-attend Christmas-related events will always be with The Body Shop. One of the very first big brands I ever collaborated with as a blogger was The Body Shop USA, so being able to work with the local TBS now feels truly surreal. And it doesn’t hurt that every visit feels like a family reunion!

From the management to the store staff, everyone was an absolute delight to reconnect with.

This year’s The Body Shop Shopping Event at Greenbelt was especially memorable. It was an intimate and thoughtfully curated experience that allowed us to explore their holiday collections up close, test best-selling products, and discover new seasonal favorites. From body butters and skincare staples to festive gift sets perfect for the holidays, every corner of the store felt like a celebration of self-care and conscious beauty.

Huda Beauty Baby Duo

 I beg you, if you see the cute Huda Beauty Blush Filter Liquid Blush duo at Look At Me, grab them immediately as these Baby Duos are limited edition!

The Huda Beauty Blush Filter Liquid Blush Baby Duo are a mini version about 2ml/0.06oz each of their bestselling shades - Cotton Candy + Peach Sorbet or Strawberry Cream + Black Cherry.  The latter is what I got!

I originally picked this duo as gifting but I ended up taking this along with me for travel due to its' size and color.  I mean these 2 can create the simplest daytime look to an oomph in a night time look.

I love combining both shades together because that is how I am.  Strawberry Cream at the bottom and Black Cherry to create gradient effect.

Cas:Pace is HERE in the Philippines + OOTD

 I know my blog name is called AskMeWhats but do not ask me why it took me so long to update this Blog!  I guess this is the longest so far and I missed sitting here in front of the computer (eating cashew nuts as of the moment) as I came back from a treatment from Marie France.  

That would be a totally different topic but for now, I am introducing a new phone case brand that arrived in the Philippines!  

CAS:PACE

Cas:Pace drived from the words CASE + SPACE and the brand was founded year 2018.  I guess Casetify is older because I have been buying and collecting Casetify cases for so long. It was until recent I have been seeing fellow content creators posting their Cas:Pace Shibuya iPhone Case, Baby Machine Quicksand iPhone case and a whole lot of cute Japanese-inspired designs.

Since me and my family loved Japan so much, we traveled a total of 3x just within a year, I knew I had to grab my hands on this.

But don't get me wrong, I am not just into cute cases, I always go for cases that will protect my phone and will last me a lifetime - well, not really, until I change my phone model!

And yes, you'll be seeing me use this case as it comes with Magnetic ring which works for my phone holders.  

Now on to my favorite OOTD of the week.  Top is from an old purchase which I totally forgot where but the pants are TDF!  Butter colored pants from Pink Lemon Wear!

Versatile, perfect length and comes with different colors!  I plan to get them all!

Shiseido Revitalessence Foundation Review

 

June was indeed super crazy I realized I didn't write a single entry for the whole month.  That said, I wasn't that busy on my social media accounts though so if you want live update, I'm on AskMeWhats on Instagram --- shameless plugging!

Without much talking, just look at the photo below, can you spot the area that I used the Shiseido Revitalessence Foundation?  

Here's the answer!  Right side facing you is the one applied with Shiseido Revitalessence Foundation in shade 240.

Before and After photo

Shiseido's Revitalessence Skin Foundation is marketed as a serum-like foundation with a lightweight, glowy finish that aims to improve skin's radiance and evenness both instantly and overtime.  Think of a foundation that is also a Skincare!

OOTD: Call it Business Casual

 If I can stay inside a coffee shop for good, I'd do so!  I remembered staying daily in a random coffee shop spot at Quezon City because I would drive my son to school at 7am and pick him up at 12nn.  Instead of driving home to traffic-infested Manila..I would just take this opportunity to try random coffee shops and stay there for hours as I bring my laptop to work virtually.

Now that my son is already in Grade 7 - whew, time flew by sooo fast.  Staying in Random Coffee shops happen on weekends instead!  When I bond with my family or friends!  I still take this oppotunity to wear something nice and comfortable for me to feel good.

This look is one of my fave.  Both top and bottom I bought in a random Bazaar!  

Smart casual, very business meeting appropriate and very Nikki-style still!

How do you like this look?

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!
