Beauty Roundup: EB Face & Blush Palettes, Colourette Holiday BFF Eyeshadow Palettes, Happy Skin Mini Setting Sprays, and MAC x Chappell Roan

Where are we on the holiday mood scale right now? I’m mostly settled in my holiday preps but I’m still keeping my eye out for stocking stuffers and *ahem* a gift from me to myself! If you’re looking for new beauty releases to try this holiday season, we got you. First up is Ever Bilena’s new Face and Blush Palettes. For dazzling holiday eye looks, Colourette has released limited-edition BFF Eyeshadow Palettes. Happy Skin makes mini versions of their best-selling Micro-fine Matte and Glow Setting Sprays. Last but not the least, Chappel Roan is the newest MAC Global Ambassador.

Ever Bilena Face and Blush Palettes

In September 2024, Ever Bilena launched EB Pro Blush Palettes, which sold out online in just three hours! Here’s their Christmas gift to those who missed out: a restock of the Ever Bilena Blush Palettes (P395) in Pastel Glow and After Glow, AND the addition of two new EB Face Palettes (P395) in Neutral Haze and Cool Haze. Yes, you get four beautiful face color powders at less than P100 each!

The Ever Bilena Blush Palette is a curated set of four (4) matte blushes in one convenient pact. Infused with Vitamin E, these are designed to add buildable sheer to vivid color that lasts. These come in two color sets: Pastel Glow and After Glow.

Highlight, contour, and blush away with the Ever Bilena Face Palette. There’s Cool Haze for those who lean cooler in undertone, and Neutral Haze that looks flattering on most undertones.

Limited Edition Colourette BFF Eyeshadow Palettes

There’s a reason why some Colourette BFF Eyeshadow Palette (P399) colorways have already sold out online: the palette concept was well thought-out and executed! For the holidays, this crowd fave gets two new limited-edition color curations: Cranberry Crush and Smokey S’mores.

Each handy Colourette BFF Eyeshadow Palette comes with a primer, and four (4) pre-curated shades that act as mid-tone, highlight, enhancer, and topper shades. The easy-to-use palette comes with a mix of long-wearing and pigmented matte, shimmer, and glitter shades.

The Colourette BFF Eyeshadow Palette in Cranberry Crush pretty much sums up the hottest color story of 2025. Berry tones with warm pinks wrapped up in deep cranberry will make a standout eye look this holiday season (and beyond!).

Smokey S’mores is a universally-flattering mix of smooth mattes and vibrant chromes that can definitely help you achieve the smokey eye look.

Happy Skin Mini Micro-fine Setting Spray

Yes, now you can tote around your favorite setting spray with the Happy Skin Mini Micro-fine Matte & Glow Setting Spray (P499). Choose what kind of finish you want: glass-skin glow or smooth matte, and set your makeup to last for up to 16 hours.

Just perfect to pack on your next trip! Check it out now in Happy Skin boutiques or online ia Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

Chappell Roan for MAC

Yes, you read that right. Your favorite artist’s favorite artist Chappell Roan is the newest M·A·C Global Brand Ambassador!  “M·A·C has always made space for people like me; since day one they’ve embraced art, queerness, drag and self-expression,” shares Chappell Roan.

Every time she goes on stage, she makes a statement not just with her rule-breaking music, but also with the personas she creates with the help of makeup. “Growing up in the Midwest, I was always told to tone it down, but that energy is what made me who I am. I want people to feel like they can take up space and express themselves however they want – that your “too much” is your magic – and that’s been in M·A·C’s DNA from the beginning.”

And that’s it for this week’s Beauty News Roundup! Which new holiday release are you going to try?
