The Philippines’ one and only specialty beauty retailer launched its first-ever collaboration, which it has chosen to do with the country’s favorite homegrown brand of skin-caring makeup, Happy Skin.
With both Happy Skin and Beauty Bar having the ability to embolden women through makeup, they worked together to create the Work It, Girl! Collection—a limited edition makeup collection that celebrates and empowers today’s working women.
Since the new collection features three key products, guests participated in fun activities highlighting the “Power of Three” during the launch. They created their own three-ingredient, cold-pressed juices with the help of Pure Nectar, and learned how to make classic, three-ingredient cocktails from Café Naya’s master bartenders.
Each power woman who attended the launch also got to try the newest lip shades in the Work It, Girl! Collection: espresso Wonder Woman and terracotta brown Slaying It!.
We especially got psyched up over a new product—the Bullseye Perfect Brow Trio, an innovative 3-in-1 product that contains all the essential eyebrow tools in one handy pen, allowing every woman to nail the perfect arch no matter where she is.
Before the afternoon ended, we snapped away at the retro photo booth station, bringing home new memories, laughs, and smiles, paired with puckers in perfect shades of nude.
Among those spotted getting dolled up with the Work It, Girl! Collection of Happy Skin and Beauty Bar were
Binibining Pilipinas Miss Universe Philippines 2016 Maxine Medina
Binibining Pilipinas Miss International Philippines 2016 Kylie Verzosa
and Maggie Wilson-Consunji, among many others.

The partnership is fitting, since the two beauty authorities share a common history. “Beauty Bar has a very special place in our hearts, because it was one of the first retailers to welcome Happy Skin, shares Jacqe Yuengtian-Gutierrez, co-founder of Happy Skin.
As the country’s first beauty hub, Beauty Bar has established itself as a woman’s go-to store when she’s about to make her first serious makeup purchase, adds Rissa Mananquil-Trillo, co-founder of Happy Skin. It’s an honor that they singled out our homegrown brand for their first collaboration.

Our collaboration expresses how much we believe in the power of women, says Reena Rosario, merchandise general manager of Beauty Bar, Stores Specialists, Inc (SSI). “Whether they’re executives, entrepreneurs, or full-time homemakers, we know how much work women put into their days. So while they fulfill their chosen paths and passions, we want to make it easier for them to look effortlessly polished, with the help of must-have makeup tools.
To a working woman, time is the most prized luxury. That’s why we developed tools that allow makeup to be effortless and easy, like the Bullseye Perfect Brow Trio (P899). This innovative 3-in-1 product contains all the essential eyebrow tools in one handy pen, allowing every woman to nail the perfect arch no matter where she is, explains Rissa. It’s one of the first in the market to offer a brow pencil, brow powder, and a spoolie brush in a single pen, adds Jacqe. The Brow Trio even contains Argan oil to keep eyebrow strands healthy and nourished.
It’s also in this collaboration where we’ll get to see Happy Skin’s cult-favorite lippies taking on brown hues.
“Our skin-caring brand is always top of mind when women want the perfect nude lippie. This time, we wanted to offer women trendier nude colors, like a rich brown and a terracotta nude,” says Rissa.
There’s the Shut Up & Kiss Me Moisturizing Lippie in Wonder Woman (P599), a powerful espresso shade; and Slaying It! (P599), a commanding terracotta brown. Both lippies are packed with Happy Skin’s trademark formula of moisturizing Shea butter and collagen, and can be purchased individually or as a set in the limited edition Work It, Girl! Shut Up & Kiss Me Moisturizing Lippie Duo (P1,099).
“With perfect brows and a versatile lip color, women can effortlessly face their days with confidence,” says Reena.

Two years after Happy Skin found a home in Beauty Bar, our collaborative efforts have culminated in these products dedicated to our working women. With over 100,000 lippies sold in Beauty Bar, Happy Skin definitely knows about color and wearability. Plus, their diligence in creating the ultimate brow kit has paid off. We are proud that this is a partnership between two homegrown brands in the local retail scene, and that together, we are launching the next best thing inside women’s cosmetics kits.
