Xiaomi Philippines co-presents annual ‘Sinulid’ Fashion Show

There is no denying it—the local fashion scene is flourishing on a global landscape. We’ve got world-renowned designers dressing up Hollywood red carpets, blockbuster movies, and royal weddings here and there. 

Every year, the College of Saint Benilde’s Fashion Design and Merchandising program graduating class stages ‘Sinulid’, a captivating show of creativity and out-of-the-box fashion trends shimmying down the runway—and this year’s was no exception. With the cooperation with Xiaomi, the youngest company on Global 500 fortune list this year, we’d love to talk about the young bloods, the emerging talents who are not afraid to push the imaginary boundaries of fashion.

For the first time ever, leading tech and innovation company, Xiaomi, took part in the much-celebrated event. Similar to the talented student designers, Xiaomi is committed to continuous innovation with an unwavering focus on quality and efficiency. The smartphone brand is known for its groundbreaking ideas in the tech-industry that pushes boundaries in every product it markets.

“We’re happy to be part of Sinulid, an event that showcases the creativeness of students from the College of St. Benilde on how they can make an impact in the growing Philippine fashion industry. Similar to the students, we at Xiaomi believe in being creative, being innovative, so that we can deliver a positive change in the community,” said Mark Li, country manager of Xiaomi Philippines.

He added: “Xiaomi relentlessly build amazing products with honest prices to let everyone in the world enjoy a better life through innovative technology.”

As co-presenter of the Sinulid 2019 Fashion Show, Xiaomi captured the edgy OOTDs and runway looks of the guests and participants with its cutting-edge smartphone, the Mi 9T.

With its triple camera and pop-up selfie plus its fulfilled promise of a true full screen experience, the Mi9T was the perfect accessory. And with its 4000 MAH battery capacity and tough hardware, the Mi9T provided hours and hours of  uninterrupted camera use for the hundreds of IG-worthy shots to be had during Sinulid. The Mi9T is available at SRP Php 15,990 for 6GB+64GB, and Php 17,990 for 6GB+128GB. It comes in Carbon Black, Flame Red and Glacier Blue and is available at Xiaomi’s official store on Lazada and at Mi Authorized Stores.

With over 50 participating student designers, the result was an enthralling show of romantic and nostalgic themes that ranged from sartorial glamour to casual elegance. Together with Xiaomi, the annual event continuously breeds a new crop of young talents ready to take on the ever-changing and highly-competitive fashion scene in the country.

Starbucks serves these creamy beverages for that much needed, feel-good break

Sometimes even the simplest things like enjoying your favorite cup of coffee can feel like a big win when we feel overwhelmed with the assignments, deadlines, meetings, and overall the daily grind. Making one last splash before the summer ends.

Starbucks is serving beverages that will surely make you want to take that much-needed, feel-good break.

Available for a limited time starting July 23 are two dreamy and creamy delights – the Double Ristretto Blended Cream and the White Chocolate Matcha Cream. 

A coffee-forward beverage, the Double Ristretto Blended Cream is made with two ristretto (restricted in Italian) espresso shots poured over a rich and creamy ice blend which results in a smoother, stronger Coffee Frappuccino while the White Chocolate Matcha Creamis crafted with the same smooth and creamy ice blend but with an aromatic dusting of pure Matcha powder.

For coffee-lovers looking for a bold taste yet sweet beverage, Starbucks introduces the White Mocha Coffee Sphere Frappuccino blended with sweet and creamy white chocolate sauce. In between its layers are spheres bursting with intense and bold flavors of Starbucks Brazilian Coffee, and on top, the drink is finished with a dollop of their signature whipped cream.

Starbucks is also giving you more reasons to take a break by offering a new zesty and fruity tea drink that captures the flavors of summer. The Frozen Mango Hibiscus Tea with Pomegranate Pearls combines refreshing mango puree, citrus mint green tea, and a splash of hibiscus tea creating a beautiful marble-like cascade.

Get your eco-friendly beauty on Kiehl's Made Better campaign

Oh how we love skincare products. No matter how much the price tag is, some of us splurge on those. Now, if you have empty skincare bottles lying around in your makeup cabinet. Dont throw your items away. Recycling your empty bottles can help

you protect the environment and it let you earn some Kiehls skincare samples for free.  Sound too good to be true? Yes, you hear it right here.   

Kiehls PH partners with Save Philippine Seas for the launch of Made Better campaign last July 18 with celebrity ambassadors Mond and Richard Gutierrez at Greenbelt 5, Makati.  

Together with celebrity twins, Mond and Richard Gutierrez, Kiehl’s Philippines brought attention to the protection and conservation of marine life. Proceeds from the sale of limited-edition Made Better products will fund the preservation of Anilao, which Kiehl’s Philippines is adopting as its island beneficiary.

Made Better is a global campaign that spotlights environmental issues. It is Kiehl’s commitment to create products that are naturally derived, sustainably sourced, and responsibly packaged and manufactured. Another pillar of the initiative is Kiehl’s gives, the brand’s philanthropic arm, which allows Kiehl’s to provide key opinion leaders with a platform to bring attention to their advocacies. 

Made Better Event Launch 

The event was hosted by lifestyle maven, Janeena Chan. Followed by opening words from Kiehl’s Brand Director Kaila Nicdao, and Kiehl’s Senior Product Manager Joan Hwang, guests were treated to the release of this year’s Made Better campaign video featuring Mond & Richard Gutierrez. 

“The time is now to make the world a better place for future generations of Filipinos by supporting sustainable efforts to conserve and preserve our most precious resource: our seas,” shares Mond Gutierrez.

In the video, the twins discuss the many problems faced by our waters while sharing tips to create a sustainable future. In addition, the video highlights the efforts from Save Philippine Seas (SPS). Established in 2011, Save Philippine Seas is a registered non-profit organization determined to clean and protect marine life in the Philippines.

“Save Philippine Seas has three pillars: education, engagement, and empowerment. We want Filipinos to mobilize different initiatives for collective action and behavior change,” said Anna Oposa, Chief Mermaid for Save Philippine Seas.” As a Kiehl’s user, I am really excited about the campaign. I really believe that the way forward to take care of the Earth is by working with different companies – like Kiehl’s. Kiehl’s is sincere in what they’re trying to do, and they’ve created ambitious targets to achieve them.”

Rejuvenate Your Skin and the Earth this July

Starting August, all Kiehl’s Since 1851 stores nationwide will offer limited-edition Made Better variants of two beloved customer favorites:

·       Calendula Toner 125ml 

Gentle ingredients such as Calendula Flower Petals and Great Burdock Root Extract are blended to cleanse and rejuvenate normal and oily skins. Each 125mL bottle of the Calendula Toner is made of 100% post-consumer recycled plastic.

·       Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream 50ml

Experience 24-hour hydration with a lightweight gel moisturizer for oily and normal skins. Naturally-derived ingredients such as Imperata Cylindrica (Desert Plant Extract) and Glacial Glyocoprotien leaves the skin feeling instantly refreshed.

Each limited-edition bottle will feature art specially designed by the Gutierrez twins. The cover design is inspired by a stunning underwater photograph taken by Richard Gutierrez during a diving expedition.

“The fact that we get to use Richard’s photographs for the cause is more meaningful for us,” says Mond Gutierrez. “It’s a first hand account of really how beautiful the oceans are. So, that’s what we wanted to highlight by using his photography as the backdrop.”

Proceeds from each bottle of limited-edition Made Better products sold will directly fund Save Philippines Seas’ and Kiehl’s Philippines partnership to preserve Anilao.

“I do know that Mond and Richard are avid divers,” adds Oposa. “And as divers, we have a shared love for the sea. And we have a shared passion in making sure that in twenty to thirty years, we can still dive in all the beautiful sites in the Philippines.”

Limited-Edition Calendula Toner 125ml (PHP 1,450) and Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream 50ml (PHP 1,750) are available starting August 2019 at all Kiehl’s retail stores nationwide. 

Customers are encouraged to recycle their Kiehl’s bottles at all stores. These bottles will be recycled into trash bins which will be deployed to Kiehl’s partner barangay—Anilao. Three recycled bottles can be exchanged for a travel-sized sample of any product of their choice.
