This week’s Beauty News Roundup will take you back to teen nostalgia! Blk Cosmetics launches a definitely young Blk Firsts Collection. Albert Kurniawan stirs things up with the upcoming launch of the new Teviant Ultimate Skin Master Cushion Serum. Keep your look fresh all day with Carelin Fresh Fix Setting Spray. Stock up on your fave Too Cool for School products via your fave online shopping platforms and select Watsons stores.

Blk Firsts Collection

One look at Blk Cosmetics’ latest releases, and I am transported back to my heart-eyed teen years. Aptly named the “Blk Firsts” Collection, it is described as “an easy, fun, and totally wearable makeup collection” for all ages. The cute Pop Blush Stamp (P399) gives you a literal heart-shaped flush that blends easily and sets with a lightweight natural finish. For your lips, the Glossy Fruit Pop (P349) gives juicy color and shine with a sparkly finish.

The Pop Blush Stamp (P399) comes in three shades: Lilac Dreams (soft lavender glow), Pinky Promise (sweet rosy blush), and Pop-a-melon (fresh watermelon flush). Aside from giving a natural flush, it also cares for the skin with Vitamin E, Peony Root Extract, Marshmallow Root Extract, Linden Flower Extract and Amica Flower Extract.

And of course the Glossy Fruit Pop (P349) shades totally match the Pop Blush Stamp: Purple Punch (sheer lilac shine), Strawberry Sorbet (sweet pink tint), and Watermelon Fizz (juicy red gloss). That little fruit encased in the applicator lid is just too cute!

The Blk Firsts Collection is now available exclusively on Shopee.

Teviant Ultimate Skin Master Flawless Cushion Serum

When cushion makeup came out years ago, most people thought it would just be another Kbeauty trend that only the younger generations appreciate. Fast forward to 2025, and cushion makeup has completely evolved, with even luxury brands releasing their versions of this innovative beauty tech. Local beauty brand Teviant by Albert Kurniawan is set to release their very own Ultimate Skin Master Flawless Cushion Serum, a makeup base designed to feel like skin care! It is a serum-based foundation infused with Triple Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiatica, Green Tea, Vitamin E, Olive Squalane, and Licorice Root Extract, housed in a convenient cushion compact.

Speaking of compact, this cushion product comes with four (4) compact colors to choose from: Rosegold, Salmon, Gunmetal, and Pearl. The serum foundation cushion will be available as separate refills.

There will be a total of fourteen (14) foundation shades in the lineup. The Ultimate Skin Master Flawless Cushion Serum is set for release on November 17th.

Careline Fresh Fix

Here’s something I wish I’d had in high school and college: a setting spray that keeps your look fresh all day. The new Careline Fresh Fix (P495) delivers a burst of freshness to the skin as it locks in makeup for up to 8 hours with a naturally dewy finish.

It also cares for the skin with Snow Mushroom Extract and Aloe Vera. Unlike other setting sprays that makes your skin feel dry, this one actually helps hydrate for healthier skin! Get yours now in-store or online via Tiktok, Shopee, or Lazada.

Too Cool for School PH

Breaking news: Too Cool for School is now officially back in the Philippines! Now you can get your TCFS faves like the OG Artclass by Rodin Shading (P749) via Shopee, Lazada, and Tiktok. No need to order from Korea!

A little birdy also hinted that the brand may soon be available at select Watsons stores soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
