Aside from diamonds, beauty stuff are a girl's best friend that's why I got excited to be invited to this event that promises to be a whole lot of fun with activities and beauty loots.

Rustan's The Beauty Source left no stones unturned for their second season. Inspired by modern art, Rustan's foyer in Glorietta 1 was dressed in intricate origami patterns and awash in bright pops of color --white couches, a DJ's booth and various display and activity stations like L’occitane's cotton candy art booth.


Well-loved beauty brands such as Chanel, Clarins, La Prairie, Sisley, Nars, Diptyque, Annick Goutal, Estee Lauder, Clinique, La Mer, Benefit, Bobbi Brown, Guerlain, Hermes, Murad, Perricone, Lancome, Mac, L’Occitane, and Acca Kappa, among others, each prepared creative ways to keep the guests busy while having fun.



At Chanel, guests made their own palettes using yummy chocolate balls designed to look like the brand's iconic pearl-shaped eyeshadows. Nail Polish brands, OPI and Deborah Lippmann, gave out free manicures and notepads, which they painted with their favorite shades. Free makeovers were in full force with complementary glam sessions from Benefit and Estee Lauder and quick brow fixes at Bobbi Brown. Clarin’s literally combined beauty and brains with their All Time Must Haves Memory Game. Participants were challenged to match cards with images of Clarins products, in order to take home their coveted must-haves. On the other hand, Dermalogica offered a Speed Mapping Skin Analysis plus free samples based on one’s skin type. For fragrance fans, a generous bar was set up for endless testing of sultry scents from Acca Kappa, Diptyque, Annick Goutal, Rance, Montheme, Hierbas de Ibiza and Gendarme. When navigating the counters, some relaxing body pampering was also in order. Guests head over to La Mer for hand and arm indulgences using the brand’s opulent body cream.

But the true beauty of the event was the purpose of helping afflicted women. Everyone was encouraged to write beautiful and inspiring messages of love and hope, using lipstick, on the Signed With Love mirror freedom wall. For every note, Rustan’s donated a P300 pledge to ICanServe, a Philippine foundation of breast cancer survivors promoting early detection. 



As a treat to beauty junkies, the event also launches The Beauty Addict card, so that customers can further indulge in their favorite brands through exclusive discounts, complementary products and spa services.
