This week’s Beauty News Roundup is all about the sparkle! ✨Let’s check out Careline’s newest liquid highlighter, the Beam Booster. Your eyes will do the talking (and shimmering) with Generation Happy Skin Creamy Eyeshadow Stick. Hourglass releases three versions of their newest take on the Ambient Lighting Edit - Unlocked. Ever Bilena capitalizes on their best-selling OG shade with the Toast of New York Collection.

Careline Beam Booster

Adding that extra oomph to your look is made easy with the new Careline Beam Booster (P325). Boost your glow and add natural dimension with this buildable and blendable liquid highlighter. Infused with Hyaluronic Acid and Castor Oil, it also hydrates and cares for the skin.

It comes in four (4) shades: Petal (tawny brown), Amber (deep champagne) Aurora (rosy brown), and Quartz (light lilac).

Wondering which shade will look best on you? Quartz is ideal for those with fair skin tones, Amber for medium, and Petal for deep. The rosy Aurora can work for all skin tones. It all depends on what look you’re going for!

Careline Beam Booster is now available in-store and online via Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok.

Generation Happy Skin Creamy Eyeshadow Stick

Achieve that shimmery eyeshadow look effortlessly with the Generation Happy Skin Creamy Eyeshadow Stick (P399). Simply swipe and blend on your lids for smooth, long-lasting, crease-free shimmer!

Take your pick from four (4) tantalizing shades: Final Fling (petal glow shimmer), Last Dance (rose gold shimmer), Extra Credit (champagne shimmer), and A+ (warm honey shimmer).

Check out the new Generation Happy Skin Creamy Eyeshadow Stick at Watsons and Happy Skin boutiques nationwide. It’s also now available at official Happy Skin online shops.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit - Unlocked Palettes

For the holidays this year, Hourglass decided to give us ART. The new Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit - Unlocked palettes ($94) are a visual feast! These and the Ambient Lighting Edit Brush II ($52) feature artwork created by Ukrainian tattoo artist Sasha Unisex. Known for  transforming her nature-inspired paintings into tattoos, the artist went above and beyond by creating three palette designs (Deer, Swan, and Fox).

Each Ambient Lighting Edit - Unlocked palette includes new, previously unreleased shades of the Lighting Powder, Lighting Bronzer, and Strobe Lighting Powder, mixed in with best-selling shades in their permanent lineup. What’s even sweeter: Hourglass has pledged to donate 5% of the profits from this collection to the Nonhuman Rights Project, a US-based organization working to secure fundamental rights for animals. These are now available at the Hourglass Cosmetics website. Get it before it’s gone; these are limited edition releases just for the 2025 Holidays!

Ever Bilena Toast of New York Collection

The one shade Ever Bilena is best known for? You got it–Toast of New York! The OG shade is a cult classic for good reason: this gorgeous color looks so flattering on Pinay skin. In honor of this beyond popular shade, Ever Bilena has reimagined it into a full collection!

Yes, the iconic shade is now a full collection! It includes two lippies: the Toast of New York Lip Cream (P295) and Toast of New York Liquid Lipstick (P295). There’s also the Toast of New York Dough Blush (P295). All three products come in three iterations of the Toast of New York shade in OG, Medium, and Light.

For me, the highlight of the collection would have to be the Toast of New York Baked Palette (P395). This is the first time I’ve seen a signature lippie shade turned into a whole 9-shadow palette! The unique mix of warm and cool-toned matte shades, neutrals, and shimmers can work for both everyday and glam looks.

Here’s the best part: you can totally try it out for yourself right now. Check out the headline-making collection online and in-store, wherever Ever Bilena is available.

And that’s it for this week’s Beauty News Roundup. Hope it helps you get your sparkle on! See you on the next one!
