Love Local: Online Shopping With Bench

It's a great feeling, to be able to receive something from the mail. FINALLY! My order from the Bench Online Shop has arrived, after more than two weeks of waiting. But I have no qualms about it though; I know that some areas in the Metro have experienced flooding this past week.

Well, what do we expect? It's rainy season again. 

Check out my loot from Bench

Bench is one of the most popular homegrown brands in the Philippines. It is endorsed by some of the well-known celebs, local and international. For me, I've known the brand since I was in high school. I've purchased stuff from their popular lines of fragrances. In 2004 I convinced my mother to buy me one of those shirts that Jerry Yan (from the Meteor Garden fame) endorsed. Oh! It made me so happy. 

I owned one of these  in high school for the love of Jerry Yan!

I'm thrilled that I no longer have to go to a physical shop just to get stuff from Bench. You can go to http://shop.bench.com.ph/  and check it out for yourself. Meanwhile, here are the goodies that I got from the said shop.

Michael Cinco Collection Padded Push Up Bra

1. Bench/Cinco Limited Edition Push Up Bra. I decided to grab this because I thought I should start owning grownup looking bras: by that, I mean lacey, black and no prints. Ha ha. Just a teensy bit of flub though: the tag said that its straps are removable but then I double checked and they are absolutely not removable. Maybe that's why they went on sale.

Ladies' Scarf

2. Ladies' Scarf. I know I would be needing this for the coming months. And the polka dots just pop! Absolutely adorbs, and it's made from 100% cotton; so soft!

Shirts for my daddy!

3. Shirts. For my partner. He requested for shirts from Bench because he likes the quality of the cloth. And also the colors because he prefers 'em plain. I would've asked him to model these here but I don't think he'd agree. Ha ha.

New stuff for my mani-pedi sesh!

4. Nail Polishes. The bottles are bigger than I expected. The colors are just pretty and the formula just applies smoothly on my nails. The shades are Baked Apple (Red), Paradise Green, and Blueberry Cheesecake.

The loot!

..And that's about it. They ship free for purchases over Php 1,000.00 and mine just totaled Php 1094.00 (approx USD 21.00). Yes, for all of it! Amazing deal, right? All of the stuff that I got were on sale. Daddy was especially happy about the shirts. The polishes would soon be featured for an NOTD and  the push up bra is doing its job quiet well. Ha ha ha.

I'm soooo looking forward to shopping with Bench again in the future.

XO,
