Hi everyone! It's been a while, I've been very busy with work so it took me a while to post a new blog but thankfully, I got invited to an event! Thank you very much to Mr. KG and The Skin Bureau team for inviting me to the presscon and official launch.
I'm so excited to share my experience with you guys since this is the very first event that I went to. I've been invited to some events but because of the conflict with my schedule and most of the events are in Manila, so it's really hard for me to attend these events. Anyway, let's begin!
We got to the venue at 10:00 AM and I got to be in the same elevator with Ms. Anna Cay, one of the famous youtubers in the country. Shame on me that I didn't even recognize her so I wasn't able to take a picture with her.
While the crew were setting up and waiting for the endorsers to finish their makeup and shoots, bloggers had the chance to take a picture of the venue, with the products and all and by 12:00 NN we had lunch, so the official program or presscon started at 01:00 PM.
The beautiful endorsers are Ms. Arjane Amante, Ms. Ashley Singh, Ms. Sachzna Laparan, Ms. Anna Cay and The Mocha Girls' Seika Samonte Hashizume and Georgina Knight.
Mr. Jefferey Geronimo, the founder of The Skin Bureau was asked by several media partners and bloggers and I would like to commend him for graciously asking every question. Here are some of the memorable question and answer portion that I kept in mind for they are very very helpful.
1. Why did he choose these ladies as the brand ambassadors of The Skin Bureau?
-Simply because these ladies are the representatives of the millennials (which is his target market) who is at the peek of their careers, even though they are busy with their schedule and all, The Skin Bureau products will help them achieve a good skin without doing too much.
2. How safe are the ingredients used on the products?
-The Skin Bureau has organic products which are very helpful for the skin, it includes a witch hazel ingredient (which is also very popular for Korean skin care I might add, and I was impressed) It also has papaya extracts and ingredients that are can't be found here in the Philippines and are exported from the US. Mr. Jeff also mentioned that they have expert chemists, and doctors that reviewed and helped them make the products safe. (No animal testing was made during the whole process)
3. At what age should a person start their skin care routine?
-At the start of puberty, a person may start their skincare routine as early as 13 years old.
4. Mr. Jeff mentioned that the target market are the millennials, but can it be used by other group of people like teens, older age and even boys?
-The product can be used by everybody, guys included as long as you want to take care of your skin.5. And of course, I asked Ms. Anna to give a message or an advice to us aspiring bloggers who also strive hard in other aspects of our careers while making sure our skin is being taken care of.
-Ms. Anna mentioned that she also started working for their family business and later becoming a full time Youtuber, she said that no matter how tired we are from work or from blogging, we should always make sure that we washed our face before going to sleep. She also mentioned that to be a successful blogger, or a vlogger, you just have to be yourself because there are a lot of rising Youtubers and bloggers nowadays, what differentiates you from others is that you're being yourself.
Overall, it was an awesome experience, I learned a lot about the products and I'm so excited to try them on. I got these as a gift from The Skin Bureau and I'll be using them for a week and will definitely give a detailed review of each product, about their ingredients and how effective are they.
The prices will be shared and the products will be officially released in the market on July 1 and I'm so glad I get to experience the products first hand.
I would also like to express my thanks to my partner, thank you very much for accompanying me even with no sleep!
That's it for me, if you have any questions, please feel free to drop a comment below. :)
