Good morning Ladies! I hope you had an exciting and blasting weekend! Have you gone out for a movie? Done some shopping? Of perhaps said yes, for a weekend date with your beau?
Tell me about it! I would love to hear your stories here.

Meanwhile last week, I got to celebrate my Saturday with beauty blogger Amigas at Trinoma Mall, as we generously invited by Silka – joining them to party, celebrating its fifteen (15) years in business
15 years….
Ohh, wait… 15 years!
It made me think how good this brand and products are that it now celebrates its great milestone. Keep on counting!
It honestly gives me a bit of nostalgia (while watching and partly listening to the host blabbing about the brand and its achievements), it made me recall back my very first experience when I started using Silka Soap.
I remember those classic citrus boxes that I usually saw on display on the drugstore counter. Its scent is a combination of citrus-fruity scent with a hint of papaya.
Yes, these babies!
I remember it feels heavenly each time I used it. My gay best friend recommended this to me in college when I noticed the sudden change in his complexion. He is already wearing a bit of fair-tone skin... but as months passed by I noticed his fair complexion improved even more. He told me his secret – he’s been using it religiously on his face and to his whole body. And he is happily using it for years.
When your bestie swears it, you will get excited to try it too.
And that’s what I did...
I enjoyed the scent – that heavenly citrus fruity scent with the hint of papaya...
But that didn’t make me look fairer.
I realized, “Damn I have super stronger melanin!”... Can’t beat those whitening scouts on me. LOL
I remembered then, I religiously use SkinWhite whitening lotion after bath, and before bedtime just to aim and prove my bestie’s testimonials.
Still ZERO WHITENING EFFECT
But at least I enjoyed that fresh and smooth feeling, and for that it makes me SMILE.
And now they celebrate 15-years in business! Oh my!
Every brand is so lucky to be staying in business for this long in spite of the ongoing existence of more competitors, it was amazing!
Most of the products may come and go, just like uninvited guests, and some are got lucky to stick around – and build relationships until it becomes part of your experiences.
A few months back, while I’m in a supermarket for my weekend grocery routine, I saw these two (2) Korean guys (they are ahead of me in line) carrying two baskets of Silka whitening Papaya soaps (they literally hoarding), LOL.
The Cashier lady gave them a smile and they replied back “These are good and cheap!”
No wonder Koreans are also obsessed with having fairer skin. And this also proves that Silka works with Korean skin types. :D
As part of its proud milestone, SILKA also shares to the fans their newest and more improved products. They also turned the Trinoma Activity Centre into a fun and exciting place where you can try their products for FREE while playing these simple games and challenges and have a chance to win goodies!
Well in our case, we tried this dance booth with my blogger Amigas, and we got spontaneously and unleash those moves with Nikki’s Starships. It was totally fun!
Plus, they partnered with talented make-up artists in the city, giving their fans FREE make-over and celebrate being a woman!
PS. This make-up artist really does love what she’s doing, and it really shows in her works and style.
My blogger Amigas says she is really good, unlike some make-up artists on other shows we’ve attended, who does makeover like a disaster.
She’s a TRUE artist – with genuine passion!
How about watching and listening to live performances, and free drinks? Oh, that’s fab!
Okay, we honestly couldn’t help but associated our goodie boxes with the early 2000 hit game show “Pera or Bayong’" or even the “Who Wants to be a Millionnaire”, hahaha we even made a dancing clip for this.
Now I wonder what I will do with this goodie box after I’ve finished its contents, LOL
*****
What more fun to celebrate womanhood on the sunny Saturday in the city, than meeting with your Amigas, have chit-chats and some catching-ups while enjoying the free fingers foods, live performances, and drinks from a generous host.
Plus a “Thank you” goodies!
I’m also glad to see the modelesque-blogger Ruth, which I think she’s always a spice of the crowd hahaha.
Congratulations to SILKA on its 15th year, and I personally wish that your brand will gloriously exist make your fans continuously happy.
Maybe my future daughter(s) will also be your fan!
Couldn’t help but share this cute paper-flower backdrop, which makes me inspired to do the same in my room for my selfie shoots, LOL. I’ve also got a chance to wear my outfits for this parteeyyyy!
What are your SILKAmazing memories? I would LOOOOOOOVVE to read it here!
xoxo, Blair
Wow, looks like you had a nice time with Silka! I wonder if I can find it in Italy too, since based on your description now I wish I could try it!
ReplyDeleteYou can try to look for it from Filipino stores in Italy :)
DeleteAmazing items and rocking at 15 is superb. Great products.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really great! The videos show how much fun you girls have had:) it's always good to be in love with a particular brand! For me, it's L'Occitane
ReplyDeleteYes indeed! L'Occitane have amazing products that I could die for, lol. They also house my other bathroom corner, and sometimes they are soo pretty to use :)
DeleteThis event had to be an amazing one! Haha, I like your dancing! :)Lovely photos ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

Hahaha thank you Gabrielle! Yeah kind of a bit weird of me but I enjoyed it :D
DeleteSeems you had so much fun with Silka. I didn't know this product before I read your post... I have to find it in my country :)
ReplyDeleteThanks dear! I believe they also ship overseas.
DeleteLook like an event I would love to attend!

Thank you Ms. Diva!
DeleteMore businesses should throw a big public events likes this. It shows people that businesses like this appreciate their customers.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they even invited all the onlookers to try their new products, have fun with their entertainments, free concert and games, and also go home with freebies!
DeleteSilka Sounds amazing for clear soft skin. But I have to be honest, I don't quite get the appeal of the whitening effect or what that even really means. It's if supposed to bleach skin out?
ReplyDeleteYeah you are right. It makes skin a bit bleached making it a bit lighter, but to tell you frankly, whitening stuffs never works on me! LOL
DeleteI love their products because it makes my skin smooth and smells really fresh, but not the whitening effect. I think my melanins are so strong, hahaha and I like myself being tan :D
Looks like a very well organized event and you look like you really enjoyed yourself. I must compliment you on your cat frames. Silka looks like a good product for women that are aiming for a fair skin type and whats best is they gave you a goody bag too
ReplyDeleteThank you dear! Yup I was so happy to take home this goody bag! Hehehe saves me form buying bath products :D
Delete15 years is already quite a long time. I love how they celebrate it with a nice events. It's great that you could go there. Love it that you also got a goodie box. These look great! Hopefully you can keep using their products for a long time since there doning well.
ReplyDeleteOh yes Carola! Even my Mom is also raving for it. My younger brother is also using Silka as his bath soap because it easy dries up his pimples on his back. Works really well for my family :D
DeleteYay to the dancing video! Looks like you had so much fun! I didn't even know of a skin whitening product! AND you for so many goodies. Lucky you! Ree love30
ReplyDeleteThank you Ree! Goodie box is LOVE!
DeleteWow! What an experience! Glad you are enjoying so much.
ReplyDeleteThe products look cool.
Thank you Indrani! They smells so good too :)
DeleteCongratulations to silka, I personally haven't tried the brand before but will definitely do a research. I loved all your pictures definitely looked like you had lots of fun during the weekend which is what matters most in the end of th day.
ReplyDeleteHello Nya,
DeleteThank you for visiting! Yeah I had enjoyed it a lot and I wish that they host another blogger's event soon, lol. I believe they started to make Silka available outside the Philippines, especially in Malaysia and Indonesia. :D
