HBC: Tatak Exclusibo!

Posted on the July 22nd, 2009 under Beauty, Contests and Promos, Hair and Make-up, Sale, Shops by AJ of Baklaako.com

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  In olden times, only the rich were beautiful – at least that’s how they wanted things to be.  Nowadays, anyone can be beautiful! Even if you’re not physically beautiful by the superficial standards set by men and the media, you can still do something to make yourself as fabulous as you can be!

Thanks to HBC; one the country’s most innovative retailers of health, beauty, personal and home care products and services; wherever you may be and whoever you are, you can be beautiful!

HBC also now brings you Gandang Exclusibo sa Barangay! This Luzon-wide barangay beauty invasion promises to make beauty easily accessible to everyone – whoever they are and wherever they may be!  The Gandang Exclusibo sa Barangay tour showcases the HBC Tatak Exclusibo and Beauty Exclusives products and brands.  They also have the free services that go with just a minimum purchase: facials, diamond peel, hair coloring, and even a make over!  You don’t get these kinds of services elsewhere!

I’ve been to one of the Gandang Exclusibo sa Barangay tours and boy was I amazed!  Apart from celebrity endorser Anne Curtis, the whole basketball court (yes, they managed to transform the barangay court into a BEAUTY COURT!) was filled with people excited to experience a one of a kind treatment only HBC can procide.  It seemed as if a whole branch of HBC was transplanted into the court.  There were stalls of products, booths for hair coloring, foot spa and diamond peel, and FREE Skin and Dental consultation booths to boot!

This barangay beauty invasion is anchored on HBC’s Exclusive Brands (Personal care products you can only find at HBC), Exclusive Customer Service (friendly staff to assist you with more than just a smile), Exclusive Value (the best value for your money), Exclusive Services (free facials, diamond peel, hair coloring and make overs), and Exclusive Promos (discounts and freebies you can enjoy all-year round!).

This campaign is HBC’s reminder to every Filipino that anyone and everyone has the right to be beautiful!

 

HBC is the country’s leading innovative world-class retailer of health, beauty, personal and home care products and services with the best value.  HBC has 200 branches nationwide.  (They also have international branches: in California (Carson, Cerritos, Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, North Hills, Panorama, West Covina, Chula Vista, Mira Mesa, National City, Sacramento, San Jose, Union, Vallejo; in Las Vegas and other countries too.)

Jericho Rosales for Mint (Men)

Posted on the June 17th, 2009 under Fashion, Jackets and Coats, Men, Shops by AJ of Baklaako.com

Mint is one of my favorite local retail stores in the Philippines. I’m a big fan of their Mint Men line not only because of their innovative and creative designs and styles, but also because they are not that mass-produced. I also love Mint because their products are surely a value for your money. Their prices are relatively affordable and you can definitely say that you’re getting what you paid for. Their men’s jackets (my favorite!) range from P1,000.00 to about P2,500.00.

One thing I hate about the retail stores here is that they have one too many stocks of each item that it is very likely for me to see another person wearing the same stuff I am. The only other store I know that does not produce their stuff in massive amounts is Bleach Catastrophe (TriNoMa).

So yeah, Mint! According to their news release dated June 11:

Jericho Rosales will be endorsing Mint starting June 1, 2009. Wait till you see the new pictures as we post them.

Here’s a list of Mint stores in the Philippines:
