THE two-number sales on e-commerce platforms such as Lazada and Shopee offer good bargains on everything, from laundry detergent to shoes and apparel. You can also get bonus discount vouchers, additional discounts and other perks and privileges.
One of the best things to buy in these sales are makeup and skin-care products. Since it is difficult to test cosmetics in stores these days, buying them from e-commerce platforms is more practical.
Here are some of the best beauty deals for 9.9:
Clinique is offering 50 percent savings on its best-selling moisturizer Moisture Surge Auto-Replenishing Hydrator on Lazada. You get two 50ml jars for only P2,785 when they are actually worth P5,570. Short review on Clinique Moisture Surge: This moisturizer is a water-based gel that is lightweight but very moisturizing. It contains hyaluronic acid and aloe vera bio-ferment so it works for skin that is barrier-compromised (one that’s been over-exfoliated with actives). This is also good for dry spots on your face and hands.
You can also get two bottles of Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Treatment Lotion for the price of one (P2,300) on Lazada 9.9. If you preorder this bundle until September 8, you get free gifts.
Short review of the Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Treatment Lotion: This watery lotion, which can be used as a toner and/or essence, is good for those who suffer from mild rosacea. It also helps address complexion dullness. This has fragrance so if you’re sensitive to that, you can ask your dermatologist if it is OK for you to use this.
If you have eczema or sensitive and dry skin, Curel Itch Defense Calming Lotion is the best one to use. I get mine from Yay Friday! on Shopee and while you can’t get any discount on the product (P998) as it is a small business, they usually throw in free shipping during special sales such a 9.9.
If your hands are dry and cracking from over-washing, Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion will provide relief. It is one of the best hand creams although it is technically an overall lotion. It is currently priced at P182, less 9 percent from the original price, at the Johnson & Johnson store on LazMall, with free shipping.
Short review of the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion: It is soothing and moisturizing without being heavy or sticky. Of course, if you wash your hands and use rubbing alcohol, they will become dry and itchy again but applying this lotion before bedtime will calm your skin overnight.
I am late to the Kahi party as this product became popular last year because of Lee Min-ho’s drama The King: Eternal Monarch. The Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Moisturizing Balm Stick, a multi-stick which is available on different shops in Lazada and Shopee, is not just moisturizing (perfect for dry spots on the skin). It also has anti-blue light blocking technology, which helps protect skin from the blue light being emitted by the gadgets we now face 24/7. This is priced at anywhere from P1,500 to P5,000. I am pretty sure there are lots of good deals and discounts for this on 9.9. Many of the shops selling this Kahi stick are based in Korea so shipping could take a week or two.
For 9.9, you can get 50 percent savings on the MAC Powder Kiss Party Pack, which includes the best-selling Powder Kiss Lipstick and Liquid Lip. The regular price is P2,700, so you can get two lip products for P1,350. There are different colors available, including Mull It Over and Devoted To Chili.
Short review on MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick: the MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick in Devoted to Chili is one of my favorite lipsticks of all time. I love the Powder Kiss formula, which is pillowy and moisturizing. I have not tried the Liquid Lip but I have heard it is a good formula.
