A double plus 

Meant to be added in our beauty routines, Ever Bilena Plus just introduced two new products - the Lip Must Lip Mask (P200) and the Micellar Water (P210). The former is infused with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, beeswax, and honey extract that help smooth and soothe the lips, while the latter has hyaluronic acid, adenosine, hydrolyzed collagen, and glycerin that cleanse the face without the sting. A double plus to our beauty routines, indeed!

Stained gloss 

Detail Cosmetics recently released the Glass Stain (P199), a glossy lip stain with nourishing blend of vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and jojoba oil. This hydrating serum stain comes in three shades - Naked (Almond Beige), Thirsty (Warm Terracotta) and Bitten (Muted Deep Berry). So many fabulous releases this year, Detail Cosmetics! 

Naughty or nice? 

Whether we’ve been naughty or nice, we’re still getting a present from Issy & Co.! The brand just dropped six new Hydragloss (P299) shades - three naughty nude shades and three nice and playful shades. For the naughty ones are Blow (frosty pink milkshake), 911 (nude emergency), and Off Duty (a golden mauve moment); while the nice ones have Punch (a delicious berry pop), Jell-Oh (a bright orange jelly), and H.O.T. (a flaming pink fantasy). Happy holidays, indeed!

Beauty imitates art 

Give back this holiday season with MAC VIVA GLAM (P1,100) ! This year, there are three special-edition lipsticks in Keith Haring’s signature primary-color palette - Red Haring, Canal Blue, and St. Marks Yellow, which you can mix and match. The packaging? Keith Haring’s symbolic street-style imagery. In case you need a VIVA GLAM refresher, 100% of the selling price is donated to support women and girls, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. 

Edible beauty

In case you haven’t heard it yet, Shiseido and Kurimu launched Strawberry Glow (P480), the country’s first collagen ice cream. Taking inspiration from the iconic red bottle of Shiseido Ultimune (P6,000/50ml), the ice cream is strawberry in flavor and infused with hibiscus. Collagen-wise, Strawberry Glow contains two grams of hydrolyzed collagen per serving. By the way, you can get free ice cream samplers when you register for a Camellia Club account here and present your membership confirmation on the following dates and locations: December 20-23 (LOOK at SM Aura), December 23-29 (SM Makati), and December 24-26 (Greenbelt 5).   

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