Penshoppe

Local fashion brand Penshoppe ties up with New York-based Filipino designer Robin Tomas in launching a new line of men’s and women’s tops available exclusively in Penshoppe stores early next year. The collaboration with the award-winning designer is yet another breakthrough for Penshoppe, which is now celebrating its 25th year as a well-known Filipino brand. The move is part of the brand’s thrust to bring its creations to an international market.

While the line is still in the works, check out Penshoppe’s current lines with a P1,500 gift certificate.

Ralph Lauren

The Big Pony Fragrance Collection Body Sprays debuted last year to much fanfare. Finally, a generation of young, hip men has a line of scents to complement their passions. The line came in four styles: Sport, Seduction, Adventure, and Style. All four body sprays are based on a duo of ingredients to give a clear and precise signal from the top to the background.

The Sporty Fragrance is the perfect scent for the active man.

Kiehl’s

Celebrating 160 years, Kiehl’s continues to strengthen a brand that’s been taking care of us since 1851. The venerable New York-based purveyor of fine quality skin and hair care was founded as a classic European-style pharmacy. Today, the magic that is the “Kiehl’s experience” extends around the world as the company continues to delight patrons with its high quality products that assure the health of their skin and hair.

Kielh’s popular skincare products (including Midnight Recovery and Acai Damage Repairing Serum), not to mention a special 160th anniversary notebook, are up for grabs.

Haagen-Dazs

Haagen-Dazs recently launched a new campaign and introduced its first-ever local brand ambassadors. The new global campaign is “Anticipated Like No Other.” As opposed to focusing solely on indulging in well-deserved quality time, the campaign highlights what comes before — the prelude and the anticipation that heightens the pleasure of the experience. Sexy and sensible ambassadors Georgina Wilson and Phil Younghusband are perfect for this new push.

A P1,000 gift certificate from Haagen-Dazs is up for grabs as well.
