APRIL 19 2015, marks the opening of SNOE’s on SM City Gensan.

Around 4pm a crowd of fab and fierce ladies gathered around for the fab opening, hosted by Rain Ramas, the program started with a brief introduction of the brand given by  Snoe’s SM Gensans branch owner, the fabulous Kaye Layco.

Snoe Inc. was established on February 2010 as a specialty cosmetics brand abiding to these strategies, Effective products with high quality ingredients, Reasonably priced, Wide range of products to cater everyone, Intricate, luxury packaging with wide array of colors and scents, The company will continue to reflect the diverse trends of its consumers as a leader in the local cosmetics industry through innovative, provocative and cutting edge products.

I’m in-love with the whole look/feel of the brand, their cute packaging and clever names, really go with the products they store. The scents are just divine, take note, its a brand that is made and developed in the Philippines. With its quality, the brand is making its own name overseas as well.

After Ms. Kaye’s opening remarks, a make-up demo presented by none other than the lovely, JJ Irineo one of Gensan’s most sought after makeup artist. Talked about make up basics, and demonstrated a day and night makeup look, with Snoe’s products of course. Afterwards the crowd took the floor as they asked the makeup maven questions regarding their own issues with makeup.

Was given a goodie bag with a hand written note, filled with awesome products such as… Snoe White Special Black Beauty Bar that removes impurities to refine skin tone and promote cell renewal for a complexion with inner radiance. It will remove dead surface cells to boost clarity and luminosity, a Beso Balm a mint flavoured lip balm that Plumps, Soothes, Protects and Freshens breath, a Honey Dew Melon Scrumptious Body Spritz which has a crisp scent of fresh honey dew melon and cool yogurt that will surely uplift anyones day. And a Whipped Body Frosting Strawberry Smoothie  is fortified with Vitamin E to hydrate skin with moisture that lasts all day, plus the sweet strawberry scent is just so yummy! I’m trying so hard not to take a sip of it. 

Browsed their shop and wasn't able to resist and I got myself another lippy, their Rouge Deluxe Precious Pout, an oil-infused rich and creamy lip color in the seasons hottest hues. It helps hydrate, nourish and revitalize lips while delivering long-lasting color. This product works to smoothen and soften the lips, making your pout extra kissable.
