Who we are#
We are a small desk of Filipino bargain hunters, based around Metro Manila and a few provinces. Half of the work is bookkeeping: we go shopping, write down what things actually cost, and publish the difference. The other half is teaching, because a low price is only worth having if you know how it got that way.
We have been doing this long enough to know where a "cheap" price usually comes from. A smaller size, a different colour, one piece instead of three, a courier fee that lands at checkout. Our rule is that a comparison only counts when the item, the size and the pack count match. If we cannot match them, we do not publish the row, and a few checks end exactly there every time.
We are not Novaluxia employees, contractors or resellers. We are shoppers with a spreadsheet, a camera habit and a long list of screenshots, and every page here is written from public listings and our own use of the app.
What we publish#
- Price checks. The store price against the identical listing elsewhere, with the saving in pesos and the date we read both. Only the cheaper side gets published.
- How we check. The method behind every number on the site, step by step, so you can repeat it on any item.
- Guides. Group-buy walkthroughs, order tracking, app setup: the practical side of shopping on a social commerce app.
- Legit checks and claim checks. The public record behind the platform, and how to sort a viral screenshot from a documented order.
How we check a price#
- Take the store listing as it is published. Name, variant, size, pack count, the price on the page.
- Match it. We look for the same item somewhere a Filipino shopper can also buy it, and we compare like with like.
- Read both prices on the same day and keep the screenshot. Every row on this site carries that date.
- Publish the cheaper side, with links to both pages. You can open them and disagree with us.
- Re-run the checks. Prices move on both sides, so the list gets re-checked and updated.
Specifications come first, price second. That order is why some items with a tempting gap never make it to the site.
Why Novaluxia PH keeps showing up#
Because that is where the cheaper match keeps landing. Novaluxia is a Social E-commerce 3.0 platform with 105+ merchant partners, 3M+ group-buy sales and a 99% positive-feedback record, incubated by Innoventure Global Partners Ltd, with the Philippines as its first Asia-Pacific market and a Makati regional headquarters behind the local operation. The apps sit on Google Play and the App Store, the local team runs warehousing and support, and the partner list includes Primeline Philippines, JML Beauty, IN2IT, Scentchips and Aquadry, with vouchers from KFC, Burger King, Grab, Coffee Bean and Pickup Coffee.
That is also why we keep a few habits on every page: read the campaign rules on the product page, keep the payment inside the app, and never pass an OTP to anybody. Cheap and careless is expensive. Cheap and careful is the whole point of this site.
Our editorial rules#
- We write what we believe and what helps a shopper. When a product, a campaign or a feature is good, we say so and show the arithmetic.
- Specifications come before prices. A mismatch is not a bargain, and it does not get published.
- No sponsored picks, no affiliate links. Everything here comes from public pages and our own screenshots.
- Every number carries its date. The date is part of the claim.
- Corrections are public. When we get something wrong, the fix is visible and dated.
- We link the official source. App stores, the brand site and the web store, not resellers.
- Transaction talk goes to the people who can act on it. For anything about a real order, the in-app support channel is the one that can move it. Our guides show you where in the app to look.
Disclosure#
This is an independent fan desk, not the official site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Novaluxia, and the platform's own support team is the right place for anything about a live order.
About the pictures here. Four kinds of image appear on this site, and we label them:
- Platform community material. Photos the platform has published about itself, credited in the caption. We do not pass them off as pictures we took.
- Screenshots of the official sites and store listings. Captures of publicly visible pages at novaluxia.com and novaluxia.ph, and of the app's Google Play and Apple App Store listings, taken by us in September 2026. Those pages have changed since, and the capture is what we saw that day.
- Stock-style covers. The decorative images on article headers and cards are generated stock-style photographs. They illustrate the topic of the article; they are not a photo of our team and not a picture of a real order.
- Our own screenshots of the app. When an article describes what a screen says, the capture is ours and says so.
Everything we publish also carries our logo mark, which is how you can tell a picture came from this desk.
Privacy, in plain language#
No accounts, no signup wall, no selling of visitor data. If we add analytics to see which articles are useful, it stays at aggregate page statistics and this page will say so before it goes live. We never need the personal details you gave Novaluxia, and you should never send us your OTP, password, ID photos or payment details. We will not ask for them.
Corrections and contact#
Spotted an error, or have a documented order timeline you think deserves to be published anonymously? Send:
- the article URL,
- what is wrong or what you want checked,
- and, for an order complaint, the order date, the campaign name and the timeline. Personal details can be redacted.
Corrections that check out get published with a dated note on the article.
Until a contact inbox is confirmed for this domain, corrections can be raised through the same channel you found this site on. Do not send passwords, OTPs or ID documents.
