LUXE Beauty and Wellness Group Taps Team Bardagulan's VRIX, CHOLO, CHRISTIAN and PERLAS as New Endorsers

Rising from obscurity into the most popular internet celebrities in the country is Team Bardagulan's very own Vrix, Cholo, Christian and Perlas. Their talk in the wee hours of the morning have been loved by the masses because of how no holds barred it is, kept it real and relatable.

LUXE CEO Ms. Anna Magkawas didn't just look at their numbers, but knew how against the odds, would help her LUXE Beauty and Wellness Group's products become more popular in the social media platforms like TikTok and Facebook if they become part of the equation. Perlas says "We are just small content creators, and being trusted by a big brand like LUXE just means a lot to me. I'm only an ordinary person who just sold products, even got lots of returns, but now live a different life. I promise to do my best to become a huge help for LUXE so it could reach more people, even those who are in my age to use the same things I do from this brand."

Then, Ms. Anna Magkawas told the audience that the surprise doesn't end there because she brought Cholo and Christian in right after they gave a congratulatory message for Perlas. After that, Vrix came in to with a bouquet of flowers for Christian. Then they were announced as the new brand ambassadors of LUXE. Aside from being part of the family, they will be helping Ms. Anna Magkawas to sell her countless products through live streams. Something they've been good at in real life.

The excitement was certainly contagious, even the other Team Bardagulan members were also cheering on the sidelines. Here's how the reveal went during the first part of the program, please enjoy!

Then we sat with them later on in the program, we got to ask questions especially about what they feel about being part of LUXE. Some of them have really worked hard to get where they are now. Ms. Anna also told us the reason why she got them as endorsers, they have a connection, and felt they are connected to something bigger. Hopefully, they could help LUXE gain even more things in the years to come.

LUXE handles brands like Collavera, Luxe Skin (for your collagen, skin, soap, cleansers, toners, serums, facial creams, sunscreen, foundations, lotions, leave on masks, pore perfecting kits and more). They also will be part of LUXE Slim campaign for Caffe Macchiato, Caffe Macchiato Decaf, Caffe Turmerico, Dark Choco Chocolate Drink, Matcha Latte, Promeal Taro Heary Meal Diet, 4 Seasons Beauty Juice, Cucumber and Dalandan Beauty Juice, Beauty Smoothie Cantaloupe Melon and more. Congratulations to Vrix, Cholo, Christian and Perlas. I'm sure this is just the beginning, continue to be nice and surely, you'll go places! Thank you for LUXE Beauty and Wellness Group for having us!

Affordable Coffee IS Possible with Great Taste Dark Latte

I've been a fan of coffee since I've had it with rice. No joke lol.

These days, I'd say I love the convenience of just getting them off the shelf and taking it ultra cold from the refrigerator before I do something at work. Surely, everyone would have had a habit of doing that if it wasn't super expensive because as you know, the ones out in the market are usually pricey.

Great Taste knows you need coffee when you need it. So at this day and age, they're giving you the options you deserve. Dark Latte for flavor, and a price that you wouldn't resist, because this bottle of Great Taste only costs Php 20.

This is inspired by cold brew, and has a strong but creamy flavor. It also is very handy, easy to put in the fridge, could be a better daily drink. Go check out Great Taste's social channels to know more about it. I've tried this from a convenience store and loved it. It's your turn!

DARK ROAST COFFEE HOUSE Opens Inaugural Branch in Maginhawa QC

There's always a reason to go to a coffee shop in Quezon City, and there's a new one that opened in Maginhawa Street. It's called DARK ROAST COFFEE HOUSE and we got first dibs on what they're offering.

This coffee shop is a passion project amongst friends. All of them were into into diving initially, but their bond was forged by their love for the dark roasted brew. Knowing their tastes, they want it different but couldn't get what they want from big coffee shops they frequent to. They want strong bold flavors, but less acidic. Hence, the dark roasted coffee beans. This is where they got their name from.

We got there during their soft opening (still is so you can already go there). The place is pretty homey. It's got bits of wood and metal, signifying a more industrial interior. They also have a loft where they have a couch, and two tables which I love. It's a perfect spot for people watching and a little privacy (for you).

Jianne, one of the owners shares "This is the first branch, but by the end of this year we want to open up a second one. Our near future plans include partnering up with resorts, or function as a commissary. We studied foot traffic in different places and Maginhawa was just something we loved. We're just lucky coffee shops here have lower rent, reasonable prices (which makes their products affordable) and we felt the universe was just telling us to do it here."

Jianne adds "Dark Roast Coffee House is built on passion and love. We want to serve coffee without compromising quality. We are on soft opening today but will have our grand opening on the 13th. We hope you could visit us and have Dark Roast Coffee."

Spanish Latte and Strawberry Latte

They have a few items on their menu, but their top recommendations include Salted Caramel and Spanish Latte. They also have Creme Brulee which the owners stand by. For non coffee drinks, they have Matcha Latte and Strawberry Latte. 

They have pastries, breads, cakes, crinkles, cupcakes and others. They also have sandwiches, customized cakes (but ask). 

Krista who's in charge of the baked goodies told us "Red Velvet Cupcakes were already served in coffee shops, a lot of people love it. We want to do a variety, so we simply brought it back and made it part of the food served at Dark Roast. We also have breads, Beef and Cheese Turnover, Korean Cream Cheese Buns, Almond Croissant (topped), but made sure we toned down on sugar, and have a balance of savory and sweet products. We converted part of our house into a commissary, so we hope you get to try them all when you visit Dark Roast Coffee House in Maginhawa."

Here's a short tour!

Dark roasted coffee gives a deep and more robust flavor profile. It's got a bold, smoky notes. They also source their coffee locally from Baguio which was quite nice to know. If you're looking for a coffee fix while you're in this side of Quezon City, just head on the Ground Floor of TKC Building at 107 Maginhawa Street at Teachers Village in Quezon City (or simply search Dark Roast Coffee House on Google Maps).

It's this building here! Just walk inside a bit and you'll see it! (see red arrow)

Make sure you try the Peach Fizz on a hot day and my personal favorite, the Beef Turnover. Just have it toasted and it's a done deal! 

See you there!
