{Before I start with this post, I just want to say this has been on my drafts since forever! Beauty MNL's service was super fast tbh and even I couldn't keep up cause it is our finals week approaching. Nonetheless, I write this the way I remember and experienced it}

While shopping and bargaining (just to get discounts) requires great skill and constant vigilance, online shopping hardly does! I guess it is the many wonders of logging on to a computer, trotting the net and well, purchasing something you find to like. You just have to look at the right places! (YES)

The biggest online shopping event in Southeast Asia kicks off on November 11, 2016 with the participation of more than 12,500 local and international brands and 6,000 merchants. This month-long shopping event is Lazada’s fifth Online Revolution since its launch in 2012.

This year’s theme is ‘Brands for All,’ putting customers’ favorite brands in the spotlight. Customers can expect jaw-dropping, well-curated offers, and exclusive launches of branded items.

These deals come on top of the wide and growing assortment on Lazada. To date, Lazada boasts an unmatched catalog of close to 30 million products for consumers across six Southeast Asian countries. In the Philippines, the assortment grew 4x more than in 2015.

Lazada will offer everything customers love – from huge discounts to flash sales and exclusive bundles. P11 peso deals featuring a Virtual Reality Box, LED light bulb rotating lamp and a Genius gaming mouse among many others, are up for grabs.  Limited-time flash deals on a 32” Slim LED TV for Php 5,499, a Fujidenzo 20L microwave oven for Php 1,999, a Star Mobile 4.5” smart phone for Php 999, an HP desk jet printer for Php 888, and a L’Oreal lip and cheek palette set for P399 are only some of the many highlights during this mega shopping day. Perfect value indeed for all the Christmas gift-seekers out there.

The deals extend to over 17 product categories including Fashion, Health & Beauty, Home & Living, and Electronics. Lazada is focusing deep into its customers’ interests with weekly specials- a curation of items for beauty fans, supermoms and families, techies and fashionistas.

As if these weren’t enough, Lazada will also launch games to make Christmas online shopping more fun. Follow Lazada’s social media channels to get free shopping vouchers, brand giveaways from Samsung, MamyPoko, Unilever, JBL, Lenovo, and more.

“Online Revolution was launched in 2012 so more consumers could experience the ease and benefits of online shopping. Since then, Online Revolution has become the biggest shopping event in Southeast Asia, where consumers can find amazing deals from the most popular brands conveniently from their smartphones or laptops,” said CEO Inanc Balci. “This year, we have secured commitments from big brand partners for more than one million deals to make Christmas shopping more exciting and effortless for Filipinos. The best of the world is truly at everyone's fingertips now, more than ever.”

Lazada has also partnered with top brands to make shopping more rewarding. Use your MasterCard to get an additional 12% off on top of already discounted prices. And if you’re feeling lucky, Isuzu Philippines is giving away a brand new pick-up for more out of town road trips, and Turkish Airlines is raffling off air tickets to fly you off to your dream vacation.

Just a few days ago, someone messaged me on my Facebook page account asking me how was the KYLIE K LIP KIT and if I'll be ever writing about it on my blog............ and to be quite honest, it never crossed my mind. Search all over the internet and there are tons of reviews on the lip kit and writing about it might be redundant as it seems BUT I'M STILL WRITING ANYWAY, LOL.

Today I woke up feeling like I had to write something personal in the blog. Maybe it's because I've been getting all these requests to write about things, events and products - sure, it's great - but this blog after all bloomed from being a personal one and I promised myself I would keep it that way. Something just bothers me seeing "blogs" full of just "sponsored" posts and events, ya know?
