Beauty Roundup: A series of local beauty launches and new Anessa sunscreens!

Like I always say, it makes me happy that we have so many local beauty options and this week is just further proof of that. For this beauty roundup, we’re talking local releases that cover makeup, hair, and skin, and new sunscreens from Anessa! 

A good night’s sleep

In Her Element is reminding us about the importance of beauty rest with the Deep Sleep Retinol Oil (P695 at inherelement.ph). With retinol as its superstar ingredient and containing antioxidant-rich kendi and meadowfoam seed oils, this product is set to give your skincare routine a major boost by promoting your skin’s production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. It even speeds up skin cell renewal to address fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, and sun spots. How’s that for a good night’s sleep?

Year 2000 all over again

Vice Cosmetics just dropped a 7-piece makeup collection called Keriboom that’s all about Y2K feels! The collection features two eyeshadow palettes (P245/each) - Keri and Boom - that have a total of 12 playful and wearable shades, four lip glosses (P195/each) - Wow Keri!, Boom Bida-Bida, Kerivu, and Boombells, and a matte prep & set mist (P295) called Boom Pa-Mist. Such fun names as usual, Vice Cosmetics!     

Mane event

Colourette Cosmetics just entered the hair category with the Bleach Cloud (P599), which is a bleach kit that lifts and lightens hair color for up to 3-4 levels, and the Sky Dye (P599), which is a semi-permanent coconut-scented hair dye that lasts for approximately 4-6 weeks. By the way, Bleach Cloud comes with free bowl, brush, and gloves, while Sky Dye comes in 8 fun and vivid shades.

Treats for your lips

If you are into sheer lipsticks, then look no further because Detail Cosmetics released a 5-piece lipstick collection called Satin Luxe Butter Tints (P199). Enriched with shea butter, cocoa butter, and sweet almond oil, these sheer lipsticks hydrates and tints your lips with buildable color. The lipsticks come in five different sweet names - Gingerbread, Rose Latte, Biscuit, Blackberry Jam, and Brown Sugar. 

Let your skin drink

Sunnies Face has just ventured into skincare with the launch of Dream Cream (P795), a super-charged serum gel cream that instantly hydrates skin and gives it a healthy glow. Working as a moisturizer, primer, and overnight mask, Dream Cream is infused with hyaluronic acid to smooth and plump skin, niacinamide for brightening, and ceramides to lock in moisture. In case you’re wondering, this product is fragrance-free and works for all skin types.

Cocktail for your skin

Niacinimade, zinc, and blackberry extract - three active ingredients that make up Strokes Beauty Lab’s Niacinamide Cocktail (P695). This cocktail is a lightweight, highly potent vitamin B3 booster that addresses inflammation, pigmentation, aging, and breakouts, and keeps your skin firm, bright, blemish- and shine-free.

The mild side 

Anessa’s Mild Series - Mild Milk and Moisture UV Mild Gel - is finally in the Philippines! Both sunscreens are water-based, allergy-tested, dermatologically-tested, noncomedogenic, with no additives, alcohol, fragrance, parabens, preservatives and colorants. Phew, what a mouthful! What separates the two, you might ask? Mild Milk has SPF 50 and PA++++ with a light milky texture and matte finish, while Moisture UV Mild Gel has SPF 35 and PA+++ and offers a dewy finish. 

Okay, that’s it for this week! See you again next time!
