In a bold move that expands its luxury retail footprint beyond Metro Manila, Rustan’s Beauty Source has opened its first-ever standalone boutique in Cebu, setting up shop on the first level of The Mall at Nustar Resort and Casino.
This marks a significant milestone as the brand ventures into uncharted territory, bringing an elevated beauty shopping experience to the Queen City of the South.
Cebu’s beauty aficionados can now indulge in an opulent selection of world-renowned beauty brands, including the likes of Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Dior, Diptyque, Lancôme and Yves Saint Laurent.
The boutique promises to offer more than just a shopping spree; it’s a journey through luxury, designed to cater to the discerning tastes of beauty connoisseurs far from the bustling streets of Metro Manila.
The grand opening was nothing short of glamorous, attracting an array of fashion and beauty influencers such as Kryz Uy, Vern Enciso-Lim, Steffi Aberasturi, Sofia Baroud, and Emmanuelle Vera, all in attendance to celebrate the launch.
The event was an immersive sensory experience, with a Pick Me! Flower Bar allowing guests to engage in an interactive floral experience.
There, visitors selected flowers with distinct fragrances, with beauty advisors on hand to match each bloom to a personalized fragrance profile.
For those with a competitive streak, the Floral Pursuit challenge added an element of fun. Shoppers scoured the boutique for hidden blue flowers, earning the chance to win exclusive prizes — because who doesn’t love a little excitement with their luxury?
Michael Huang, senior vice president for Support and Development at Rustan Commercial Corporation, noted that the opening of this boutique represents a key moment in the brand’s growth.
“This new store is more than just a retail space; it’s an integral part of our mission to deliver tailored, exceptional beauty shopping experiences to a wider audience,” Huang said.
He also expressed his excitement in welcoming Cebu’s beauty enthusiasts, adding that the boutique is designed to inspire confidence, self-expression, and a celebration of inner beauty.
With the new venture, Rustan’s Beauty Source is set to elevate the luxury shopping experience for Cebuanos, proving that high-end beauty can and should be enjoyed in style — no passport required.
