Beauty Roundup: Patrick Ta and Rare Beauty Lip Balms + Blk and Vice Cosmetics Minis
And just like that, it’s the last month of the year! I can definitely feel the shift in the air; the holiday rush is definitely upon us. This week’s beauty roundup brings us news of gift-worthy new releases from both international and local beauty brands. Patrick Ta and Selena Gomez seem to be on the same wavelength as they release their versions of tinted lip balms. Locally, Blk releases their bestselling Radiant Glow Filter and Bronzer in adorable mini sizes. Vice Cosmetics releases their Holiday Quartet: a ready-to-gift set of three blush, highlighter, and bronzer minis with a cute mini cushion puff.

Patrick Ta Major Moisture Smoothing and Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm
If you ever wanted to feel like treating yourself to a decadent dessert every time you moisturize your lips, this is the product made just for you. The new Patrick Ta Major Moisture Smoothing and Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm ($25) is a sheer, high-shine lip balm formulated with plumping peptides and bakuchiol. What sets it apart from other lip balms? Each shade has a unique custom gourmand flavor.

Rare Beauty Find Comfort Lip Butter Balm
Selena Gomez’s latest obsession: the Rare Beauty Find Comfort Lip Butter Balm ($18). A combination of a daytime tinted lip balm and overnight mask, it deeply hydrates without the heavy feel. It is infused with a blend of hyaluronic acid butter, shea butter, apple seed oil, and centella asiatica.

Blk Cosmetics Mini Radiant Glow Filter and Bronzer
As someone who rarely finishes full-size makeup, I tend to gravitate to minis! They’re travel-friendly, easy to tote around, and have higher chances of getting totally used up. Blk has done just that with their bestselling Mini Radiant Glow Filter and Bronzer (P349). The original 30mL pump bottle is now available as a pocket-sized 10mL tube with wand applicator.

The Blk Mini Radiant Glow Filter (P349) can be used on its own as a glowy base, mixed in with your foundation, or as a highlighter for that lit-from-within glow. It comes in six (6) shades: Oat (fair neutral), Creme (fair cool), Vanilla (light cool), Sand (light warm), Butterscotch (medium neutral), and Toast (deep neutral).

The Blk Mini Radiant Glow Bronzer (P349) on the other hand, comes in three shades: Soleil (rich bronze), Island Glow (golden glow), and Tan Lines (soft bronze). This makes that healthy sunkissed glow totally achievable on the go!
