Beauty Roundup: Pili Ani’s new facial oil, the iconic Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, and a new perfume from Rihanna!

Okay, I know we’re not really in a TGIF mood because it’s the first day of ECQ again today. However, I have something that might cheer you up or at least be a good distraction - it’s time for another beauty roundup! This week, we’re talking about Pili Ani’s Self-care Night Recovery Oil, Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free, and Fenty’s Eau de Parfum!

Skincare is Self-care

Local skincare brand Pili Ani just released a new facial oil called the Self-care Night Recovery Oil (P3,200/40ml), which is specially formulated to boost hydration and protection at night. This facial oil is made with pili oil, which is moisturizing, rich in natural antioxidants and vitamin E, and elemi oil, which has firming properties, is anti-inflammatory, and helps with skin restoration.

Since only 2-3 drops are needed when applying this facial oil at night, the 40ml bottle will last for quite a long time!

Cult Classic 

When talking about tinted moisturizers, it’s impossible not to mention Laura Mercier. Just recently, Laura Mercier reintroduced their Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free Natural Skin Perfector SPF 20 (P2,595/50ml). It has the same great formula we love, but now with an expanded shade range and skin-loving ingredients such as vitamin E, licorice root extract, and oil-absorbing powders. I’ve been into tinted moisturizers lately, and I’m thrilled that this has a healthy blurred matte finish.

Where Have You Been

Fenty Beauty just added a new product category in their line-up: fragrance! Described as “a raw, intimate, and deeply personal representation of all that Rihanna is,” this seductive musky fragrance combines sensual magnolia, vibrant fruit, and warm spice. The Fenty Eau de Perfum will be dropping this coming August 10. And, oh, if you’re wondering, it’s a unisex fragrance.    

Okay, that’s it for this week! See you again next Friday! Stay safe, healthy, and informed!
