Filipino beauty brandblk Cosmetics has opened its first-ever flagship boutique on Dec. 8, 2025, choosing Ayala Malls Manila Bay as the home of its largest store to date.
Following years of expansion, store openings, and kiosk debuts all over the country, the brand has now unveiled a flagship space designed in its signature soft blush-pink palette, paired with sleek, soft-futurist minimalism that reflects blk’s modern and uncomplicated beauty ethos.
The celebration of the flagship store’s opening doubled with the debut of the brand’s newest concept, blk Café. Located on the right side of the boutique, the café serves a selection of drinks — coffee, non-coffee, and signatures— that elevate the shopping experience.
For coffee, blk has partnered with Yardstick Coffee for their in-house brews, using their Switch blend for a full-bodied, rich, and velvety cup. They serve both hot and cold drinks ranging from P140 to P220 — Americano, Latte, Toasted Biscoff Spanish Latte, Breve Latte, Sea Salt Latte, and Tiramisu Cream Cheese Latte.
For non-coffee, blk partnered with The Superfood Grocer for a selection of matcha-based drinks — Pure Matcha (P190), Sea Salt Matcha Latte (P200), and Butter Cookie Matcha Latte (P220).
Their signature teas were named after the newest blk Scents, enhancing the experience of trying them out for the first time in-store: Lazy Mornings (Fig and Grapefruit, P150), Candied Kisses (Apple and Passionfruit, P150), Al Fresco Summer (Tangerine and Lemon, P150), Slow Dance (Pear, Wintermelon, & Sea Salt Cream, P150), and Quiet Ember (Jasmine + Milk, P150).
The opening of blk Cosmetics’ flagship boutique + café concept also came with the launch of the newest blk Scents — a new collection of perfumes that were made to capture intimate and personal feelings. The bottles, shaped like the blk logo with a cute gradient effect, were thoughtfully designed in Spain with the dip in the middle allowing for an easy grip and precise hold.
The collection includes five fragrances: Al Fresco Summer, Slow Dance, Candied Kisses, Lazy Mornings, and Quiet Ember.
All perfumes were made with a concentrated blend of 25% fragrance oils, which are made to last for up to 12 hours. The bottles retail for P599 (20ml) and P1,199 (50ml), with the full set available for a discounted price of P2,499 from P2,995 (20ml) and P4,999 from P5,996 (50ml).
