From curated beauty boxes and discounts to bespoke personal shopper experiences, here are four new channels you can get your favorite luxe and niche beauty buys from.

Dominique Cojuangco and her business partner Michael Hearn built The Collective not just as an e-commerce beauty platform to shop brands that are formerly hard to find in Manila, but as a conversation about skin health. The Collective is a space to unlearn typical standards for "good skin," and instead learn how your skin can achieve its peak health and embrace different ways our skin is built (texture, freckles, etc.). You can shop brands such as Embryolisse, Faace, Skin Need, Mount Lai, Innisfree, Laneige, Aivee Skin, Alder New York, Dermtropics via their website, as well as their line of beauty tools to upgrade your skincare experience &mdash; a supersized, stainless steel gua sha for a deeper facial massage experience (the material is antimicrobial, too), a beautiful, durable, and reusable Body Razor (only the blade needs replacing!), and a germanium face roller for your lymphatic drainage and massage needs.

<h3>The Beauty Edited Box by The Beauty Edit</h3>

The second volume of The Beauty Edit's The Beauty Edited Box&nbsp;is the perfect summer selection through and through. Created and curated by a beauty editor, this beauty shopping box is the perfect way to explore new products if you love trying new things before fully committing to it. It gives you 4 full-size beauty products (Pili Ani Gentle Facial Cleanser, 2 shades of MAC's Shot of Colour Lip Oil, and Sekaya Botanic Infusion Skin Cleanse), 5 premium minis (Makeup For Ever Oil Control or Pore Minimizing Primer, NARS Laguna Bronzer, Dolce 7 Gabbana Light Blue EDT, Benefit Blush, NARS Soft Matte Foundation), a handy clear zippered makeup pouch, and a zine that contains exclusive discount vouchers for the brands the box contains if you'd ever decide to go for that full size or refill. Everything inside the box has a total value P6853, but get it at <a href="https://thebeautyedit.ph/products/the-beauty-edited-box-vol-2-2021">P3550&nbsp;at the Beauty Edit.</a>

NARS is now available via&nbsp; <a href="https://nars-beauty-butler.myshopify.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beauty Butler, </a>where you can restock your favorites and try their new launches. They've also put together&nbsp;Discovery Sets&nbsp;for those who can't decide or just want everything &mdash; and they come in great bundle deals, too. We love the <a href="https://nars-beauty-butler.myshopify.com/collections/discovery-sets/products/on-the-glow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Glow</a>&nbsp;set in particular, which contains all radiance-inducing staples like their famed Orgasm blush. Get a 15% discount, too, on your first purchase by using the code NARSBELLE.

If you still prefer shopping in person but don't feel safe yet to leave,<a href="https://rustans.com/blogs/press-center/rustans-on-call" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&nbsp;Rustan's On Call&nbsp;</a>is definitely the online shopping experience for you. Simply call, message, or Viber their hotline 0917 111 1952, and an actual, non-bot personal shopper will go through the racks and shelves for what you're looking for as if you were browsing the department store yourself. They'll even send you ultra-specific options for what you need &mdash; similar price, similar product, lower price, etc. &mdash; ask, and you shall receive, and they offer several accessible delivery and payment options, too.&nbsp;
