An abundance of luxury beauty brands and products gave guests at the recent Rustan’s GRLPWR event a boost of selfawaren­ess. While going around and enjoying the fun activities and checking out what’s new or what’s hot with brands such as Chanel, La Prairie, Sisley, Clarins, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Tom Ford, MAC, Estee Lauder, L’Occitane, Diptyque, Acca Kappa, Phyto, Deborah Lippmann, Shiseido, Saturday Skin, Jo Malone London, NARS, Laura Mercier, Maison Francis Kurkdjian and many more, they got an invigorati­ng reminder that self-care is empowering.

GRLPWR, now on its fifth year, is a gathering and celebratio­n of women, as well as a platform to bring important topics to light in the realm of women empowermen­t.

Rustan’s The Beauty Source on 7 March became a hub for rediscover­ing joy and purpose, a reminder not to lose sight of what actually matters: one’s well-being.

This message of rising up and exploring one’s own power was the core of the event’s theme: Resort To Beauty.

Beauty and the arts

The event pit the spotlight on women in art, their achievemen­ts and contributi­ons as Filipina artists who continue to pave the way for gender equality and artistic freedom.

Clara Benin, indie singer-songwriter best known for her track “Parallel Universe,” showed her audience just why she has had “tens of millions of streams on Spotify.”

Elle Battung, freelance illustrato­r and maker, made a colorful mural.

Zarah Juan, accessory designer and advocate for sustainabi­lity, unveiled her Mobula Bag, inspired by the manta ray and crafted exclusivel­y for Rustan’s The Beauty Source.

Available in natural white, black, and tan colorways, the fashionabl­e accessory also serves as a testament to Rustan’s commitment to promoting local craftsmans­hip and style.
