Plus, her favorite makeup picks
Finally, a classic Filipina morena beauty takes center stage. Lazada handpicked actress Gabbi Garcia as the face of LazBeauty. “Gabbi is the perfect personification of everything that LazBeauty stands for. She’s authentic, confident, and she really continues to redefine how Filipina beauty is viewed today,” Lazada PH Head of Marketing Kitty Calderon on why they chose Garcia.
As for the Filpina actress, Garcia reveals why she said yes to this partnership. “LazBeauty supports us, Filipinas, by giving us access to these beauty products in such an easy way. They have so many choices and deals, so you can easily find the perfect match to help you be your truest self. Plus, fast and free shipping, which is so convenient. It’s beauty for everybody.”
Truth be told, and as surprising to find out, Garcia has her fair share of insecurities. “There are good days when I feel confident, but there are also days when I don’t feel okay. I overcome them by learning to just be comfortable with myself and not let my insecurities get the best of me.” Being confident is also an important key factor, “I have to make sure I’m comfortable with whatever I’m wearing and with the makeup I’m using in order for me to feel confident.”
Makeup also helps, with Garcia revealing that she’s into stick-on nails lately. “Because of the continuity of my shows, I can’t really put on gel or acrylic nails. So I’ve recently been checking out stick-on nails on Lazada for variety,” she says, adding other must-haves such as lip and cheek tint, hand cream, and facial mist to keep herself hydrated.
Aside from a curated list of products available at LazBeauty, it also offers a Beauty Besties community where everyone can share theri reviews and finds. Expect up to 80% off on branded deals, with fast and free shipping with no minimum spend or cap. There are exclusive deals also when you sign up as a #LazBeautyClub member.
This Feb. 22 to 25, beauty enthusiasts can check out the first interactive beauty room at SM Mega Fashion Hall. “As part of Lazada’s goal to be the leading online destination for quality and trendy beauty products, we personally curate what goes into LazBeauty, and provide choices to our consumers that help them feel more confident everyday.
