Bioessence celebrates 30 years of world-class beauty
Bioessence marked its 30th anniversary with a grand celebration that honored the brand’s journey and commitment to “Caring Beyond Beauty.”
The milestone event, which championed
Bioessence’s contribution in providing world-class beauty and wellness
services, took place at The Blue Leaf Cosmopolitan in Quezon City
on September 26, 2024.
Thousands of guests have enjoyed an
evening of entertainment, surprises, and a retrospective of Bioessence's 30
years of existence. Founded in 1994, Bioessence has grown from a small 3-bed
beauty clinic chain into a renowned wellness brand with multiple branches
located in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
The brand’s Pearl anniversary celebration
brought together key opinion leaders, stakeholders, loyal customers, and
influential figures who have contributed to Bioessence's success over the past
three decades. It also welcomed VIPs, clients, and media colleagues for a
vibrant night of beauty and wellness.
In addition to socializing and networking
among beauty and wellness enthusiasts, the brand also mounted several exciting
activities for attendees, promising a night that truly redefines care.
The Philippines' Bossa Nova singer Sitti
and The Crooner Richard Poon serenaded the crowd and made the night
extra special with their delightful mix of hits and covers. Other performers
include Aliw Award winner MOBB, along with up-and-coming singers Bugs and Jarlo
Base.
Apart from the live music performances,
the anniversary also put a spotlight on the evolution of Bioessence, while
revealing new innovations in services and products in partnership with OxygenCeuticals,
an oxygen-based skincare brand from South Korea. One of the other most
anticipated parts of the event was the unveiling of the company’s new brand
ambassador: Jennica Garcia, who graced the audience with her beauty and
simplicity.
With a goal of expanding its portfolio of
services, Bioessence also introduced a new machine called Harmony,
complementing its existing advanced non-invasive treatments Exilis and Plasma,
showcasing that Bioessence has the complete solution for beautiful skin and
body. Guests also had the opportunity to see these devices in action at a dummy
clinic supervised by Bioessence’s expert trainers and consultants.
Guests were also treated to a blend of
nostalgia and a forward-thinking vision as Bioessence outlined its plans for
the future. As part of the festivities, attendees had the opportunity to
participate in exclusive giveaways and experience firsthand the latest
treatments and products that Bioessence has to offer.
Collecting in Real Time: Toki’s Top 5 Livestream Auction Moments
Here are the top 5
moments from Toki's livestream auctions that totally stole the show:
Moment 1: Bigboy Cheng’s PHP 45K Funko Pop Madness
Famous collector BigBoy Cheng auctioning the Family and Friends Exclusive Funko Pop.
Funko Pops are all
the rage, and when Bigboy Cheng dropped the Family and Friends Exclusive Funko
Pop, collectors went wild. The bids soared as fans from everywhere tried to
snag this rare gem, especially since all proceeds benefited those who were
affected by Typhoon Carina. The livestream bid ended with a jaw-dropping PHP
45,000 price tag, setting a new record for the most expensive item ever sold
via auction on Toki.
Moment 2: The Epic 9-Hour Auction Marathon
Hubbyte Toy Store's previous
livestream auction on Toki impressively ran for nine hours.
Toki’s usual
auctions are about 1.5 hours, but one of Hubbyte Toy Store's shows stretched to
an insane nine hours! Bidders and viewers were glued to their screens as the
livestream featured everything from Demon Slayer Nendoroids to Bandai One Piece
Gashapons. Just when you thought the auction was over, the audience kept on
clamoring for more! Viewers would request for their toy lines and Hubbyte would
comply after some lighthearted teasing. Talk about the Toki community’s
passion!
Moment 3: TheMonYu’s NBA Bonanza – Over 100 Items Sold!
Toki’s livestream auction with The MonYu’s NBA collection had over 100 items sold.
NBA fans, rejoice!
TheMonYu’s huge NBA memorabilia collection went under the hammer and it was a
hit. More than 100 items, including cards of legends like Michael Jordan and
LeBron James, were sold in a single livestream. TheMonYu’s haul was a major win
for collectors and set a new benchmark for most items sold in a Toki auction.
Moment 4: 17 Minutes of Pure Adrenaline, Rapid-Fire
Bidding
Collector BigBoy Cheng’s auction for the China Blue Funko Pop skyrocketed from P3,000 to P10,000 in just 17 minutes.
The Big Boy Cheng
China Blue Funko Pop auction further reinforced the concept of suspense in
Toki’s livestream auctions. Priced at a seemingly reasonable P3,000 when the
bidding commenced to ascend rapidly as the entire livestream was closely
watched. The bidders were outbidding each other as the tension mounted before
the final bid of P10,000 was reached, all within 17 minutes! This moment
further underlined how collectible Funko Pops are in isolation when they become
super exclusive and rare!
Moment 5: 500+ Viewers for Kokoy de Santos’ Debut Auction
The launch of actor Kokoy de Santos’ first livestream auction with Toki.
Toki’s auctions are
already unique, but actor Kokoy de Santos’ first one is a game changer. Kokoy,
an indie artist and former sticker collector turned art aficionado, drew in
more than 500 viewers on various platforms. He auctioned off Funko Pop from across
different lines and as a bonus, performed a snippet from a BINI dance for his
engaged fans. At the end of the auction, as a thank you to all the viewers
commenting during the livestream on the Toki website, he raffled off exclusive
Toki x Secret Fresh t-shirts that he autographed. The auction definitely
showcased Toki's commitment to foster a vibrant community and creating engaging
experiences for all.
These moments are just
a glimpse of the excitement Toki brings to the table. Whether it's
record-breaking auctions or high-energy bidding led by influencers, Toki’s
