Orange you glad? 

Strokes Beauty Lab just released Citrus Sherbet (P595), an innovative oil to milk cleansing balm that removes every trace of makeup without stripping off your natural oils. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, vitamins C and E, 8 natural oils and 4 citrus extracts, Citrus Sherbet also cleanses, hydrates, nourishes, and tones your skin. Hooray for more local cleansing balm options!

Get ready with many 

GRWM Cosmetics surprised us all with the launch of their Radiance Tint (P349), a multi-use concealer that comes in 12 shades! Yes, 12 different shades! Also, the concealers contain skin-loving ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and vitamin E. Finally, we heard that the brand will be releasing more shades soon. We’re impressed!

Mist of roses 

A new face mist is available on the local market thanks to Detail Cosmetics. They recently introduced their Rose Water Face Mist (P199), a supercharged mist that has a high concentration - we are talking 95% - of rose water from Damask roses. The Rose Water Face Mist works for all skin types and has an ultra-fine mist. We’ve tried it ourselves, and we couldn’t agree more!    

A Narsissist holiday 

We’re all invited to unwrap the stylish holiday collection from NARS! What’s there to unwrap, you might ask? The collection features two Audacious Lipsticks, an Orgasm Blush Duo, the Bijoux Eyeshadow Palette, a Full Access Cheek Set, the High Profile Cheek Palette, three Mini Eyeshadow Palettes, a Double Climax Mascara Duo, an Afterglow Lip Balm Set, and Mini Brush Set. So many options! Oh, one last thing, did you know that NARS is already on Lazada

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