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!

Ray-ban, one of the world’s more famous brands has released their new collection of shades for Summer 2009! What I love about the new collection is how they revisited their classic looks and revamped them for the summer time. The Wayfarer, Clubmaster, Outdoorman, Aviator, and Jackie Ohh have been updated to go in tune with the current trends.
