Ever Bilena and Shopee team up for a Labubu giveaway

EVERYBODY wants a Labubu, the art toy created by artist Kasing Lung, and popularized by K-pop superstar Lisa of Blackpink. Another Blackpink member, Rosé, has also been seen with her own Labubu in an Instagram story. Local celebrities (like Heart Evangelista, Marian Rivera, Kathryn Bernardo, Julia Barretto, and Janine Gutierrez, among others) have since followed suit. So local brand Ever Bilena, in collaboration with Shopee, is giving a chance for fans to get one, with 12 Labubu figures up for grabs through a promo. To join the Ever Bilena–Shopee Labubu giveaway, customers have to use the voucher code EVERLABU when purchasing at least P299 worth of products from Ever Bilena’s flagship Shopee store to qualify. The voucher also entitles one to enjoy an additional P40 off. Each transaction counts as an entry, and the promo period runs from Nov. 17-23. Twelve winners will be announced one week after the promo ends.
