Shoppee adds more hubs in Visayas for better shopping experience

For many Filipinos, online shopping has become an integral part of their daily lives, as they continue to enjoy the numerous benefits of e-commerce.

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, recently launched a slew of initiatives with the aim of bringing fun and seamless online shopping experience to even more Filipinos across the country. Part of Shopee’s efforts includes the continued expansion of its Shopee Xpress hubs across the Visayas region.

By establishing more hubs in Cebu City, Bogo, Moalboal, and other areas in the Visayas, Shopee has expanded its serviceable areas, allowing Visayan shoppers to enjoy a wider product assortment and faster and cheaper delivery.

Through this expansion, Shopee was also able to introduce Visayas Barato Deals — special offers, shipping discounts, and more promos exclusively for Bisaya shoppers, in line with the launch of its 6.6-7.7 Mid-Year Sale. “We have always believed in the transformative power of technology to connect buyers and sellers within the community, no matter where they are. By expanding our serviceable areas within the Visayas region, we aim to give our Visayan shoppers a seamless online shopping experience at Shopee, as we go through every step of this exciting e-commerce journey together,” shared Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines.

In line with these efforts to improve the overall online shopping experience for Filipinos across the country, four Cebuano shoppers shared the benefits they’ve enjoyed throughout their e-commerce journey with Shopee.

A rewarding shopping experience that offers great value for money

Grashelle, 35, became an online shopper when she found out she was pregnant. As an expectant mother, online shopping made things more convenient, and with Shopee, she was able to get the best deals.

“Cebuanos like myself generally look for products that offer the best value for money. With its lower shipping fees, cheaper prices, and a wide variety of products, Shopee has become my e-commerce platform of choice. Compared to when I first started shopping on Shopee, I noticed that shipping in Cebu has gotten faster, and that makes everything even more convenient.”

Online shopping made easy and fun

With his tight schedule as a physical therapist, Vincent, 27, needed an easier way to shop, and that’s when he discovered Shopee.

“Once I got the hang of using the Shopee app, everything else followed. Apart from shopping, I got hooked on the games, especially Shopee Bubble and Shopee Candy. Shopee not only gives me a convenient way to shop, but it’s also a fun in-app experience with all the games, flash deals, and more.”

Patricia, 26, started shopping online in  2017 after hearing about all its benefits from her friends, and she has been a Shopee user ever since. From pet care needs to fashion finds, she always has a great time shopping on Shopee.

“My favorite part about Shopee is the excitement you get when you’re waiting for your parcel. I check the status of my order every day because I love the feeling of anticipation when waiting for my Shopee parcel to arrive. It’s also fun to window shop online, and add items to my cart that I can’t wait to check out.”

Bigger discounts and better deals on Double Day sales

As an enthusiast of custom PC building, Ernest, 19, purchases all his PC parts and tech needs on Shopee.

Since most of his orders are electronics, he often shops during the Double Day sales so he can get bigger discounts and exclusive vouchers. “With the upcoming 7.7 Mid-Year Sale, I’m looking forward to the lower shipping fees in the Visayas, since they used to be more expensive in Cebu. I’ve always been a big Shopee fan and with my experience through the years, I’ve been able to find everything I need and save more with Shopee’s deals and offers.”

Don’t miss exclusive shipping discounts, 10% off vouchers, PhP 66 and PhP 77 deals, and more at Shopee’s 6.6-7.7 Mid-Year Sale!

High-tech beauty: Tools and gadgets worth investing in

From cars to cooking, to shopping, tech is in everything! So it’s no surprise that, in this day and age, we’ve got a handful of impressive high-tech beauty gadgets, too.

Apart from developing solutions and serums, the beauty industry has also been hard at work developing tools to ease the usual tasks of styling, cleansing, and more. And each year brings devices more sophisticated than the last.  Here are some of our favorites.

 

lazada airwrap  

 

Dyson Airwrap

The ever-popular Dyson Airwrap tops the list for many reasons and honestly needs no introduction. For one, it’s a want for most of the ladies out there as his high-end styling tool uses controlled airflow to style hair without extreme heat, minimizing damage. It’s versatile too as it offers various attachments for curling, smoothing, and volumizing hair.

It doesn’t hurt that it’s so well-designed and comes in cute colors, too.

L’Oreal Steampod

An alternative to hot heat styling is using steam and you can use this with L’Oreal’s Steampod. Unlike Dyson’s Airwrap, this straightener opts for steam technology to achieve sleek, straight hair while aiming to minimize breakage and frizz. It features adjustable temperature settings and a built-in comb for detangling while straightening.

Danisse Cordless Curling Iron

A favorite of many and often sold out, the Danisse cordless curling iron is a compact, battery-powered curler that charges via USB!

It supposedly heats up in just 30 seconds and comes with a 2500mAh battery that can be charged with a power bank if needed. The battey is supposed to last up to 45 minutes which should be just enough time to get your hair from drab to fab!

Foreo UFO 2

Foreo has long been breaking ground on advanced skincare tools and one of its latest releases is the UFO 3. This smart facial treatment device combines heat, LED light therapy, and cryotherapy to address various skin concerns. And being the modern device that it is, it connects to a mobile app for personalized treatment routines and progress tracking.

In the Philippines, however, only the UFO 2 is available at the moment.

Of course, if you want something simpler, cheaper, but still effective, you can always go for the basic Foreo Luna. I’ve personally been using it and apart from the calming effect of the facial massage, my skin always comes out so bouncy and clean.

This is because the Luna brush uses gentle pulsations to remove dirt, oil, and impurities, promoting deeper cleansing and a smoother complexion. It comes in various models suitable for different skin types.

Foreo Bear 2

Yes, this is the third Foreo device on this list but it can’t be denied that the company makes good skincare products. The first two focused on facial cleansing but the Bear 2 is meant for body sculpting.

This innovative device is designed to improve the look of cellulite and achieve a smoother skin surface while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Harnessing the power of microcurrent technology, the Bear 2 Body and its T-Sonic massage function boost microcirculation and lymphatic drainage, delivering essential nutrients to skin cells and eliminating toxins.

SpectraLite DPL FaceWare Pro

It looks high-tech, so it must be, right? A favorite among the upper echelon of beauty gurus and celebrities, the SpectraLite DPL FaceWare Pro device uses a combination of LED light therapy and broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns, including wrinkles, acne, and sun damage. It aims to rejuvenate the skin and achieve a brighter, more even complexion.

In the same lineup, there’s also the SpectraLite LipWare Pro which acts similarly. It’s a lip care device that also uses LED light therapy to target fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of volume around the lips.

Alternatively and unsurprisingly, Foreo also has its own, more interesting-looking version that’s currently available in certain regions at the moment.

Medicube Age-R Booster H

This handheld device takes on a non-invasive approach to skincare by utilizing radiofrequency technology to target wrinkles and stimulate collagen production, aiming to achieve a more youthful and lifted appearance.

It utilizes electroporation technology, which creates temporary pathways in the skin, aiming to enhance the absorption of skincare products. This technology distinguishes it from traditional massagers or facial rollers.

RevAir Reverse-Air Hair Dryer

A reverse air hair dryer? What’s that you may be asking?

Unlike traditional hair dryers that use hot air to blast hair dry, RevAir utilizes a unique technology called reverse airflow. This technology sucks hair upwards into the wand using suction, gently drying it from within.

It claims to be the only one-handed, tear-free, mom-approved, wet-to-smooth dryer in the world and is the only hair tool that can also dry extensions, twist-outs, braids, locs, and wigs in half the time.
