Jackie Avecilla, marketing and communications manager, Rustan’s cosmetics, perfumery and toiletries division

Nicole Limos, managing editor, Townandcountry.ph
“I’ve long been saving up for a Dyson hairdryer, so if I get that for Christmas, I’d be super happy. I’ve also been wanting to order this false eyelashes applicator called Flirt Flashes, which seems amazing!”

Joey Ermita-Bienvenida, assistant brand manager, Chanel
“The La Prairie Skin Caviar Sleep Mask (if only I could drink that, I would), the whole Perricone No Makeup Makeup line, and Hourglass ambient lighting powders — all of them.”
