Filipinos are taking over the universe!
The 2017 Miss Universe Pageant will be held in the Philippines early next year, and aside from the boost it will give the local tourism industry, we’re looking forward to the opportunity it will give for Filipino talents to shine! Not only is MAC Cosmetics the official makeup brand for the pageant, an all-Filipino makeup team will be charged with the beauty requirements of all the contestants. The crazy talented team will also include Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach’s makeup artist Gery Penaso.

Life is like a box of chocolate palettes
Enjoy the pleasures of your favorite sweet treats, without the calories! Known for their incredibly good quality, high pigmentation shadows at affordable prices, ZOEVA Cosmetics has come out with the Plaisir Box containing three luxuriously-designed eyeshadow palettes. We’ve already nabbed Caramel Melange (warm toned mattes and shimmers) but we can’t help adding this to our Sephora wishlist!

The box also contains the cult fave Cocoa Blend palette as well as Blanc Fusion (cooler toned mattes and shimmers). At P4,200, it seems a bit steep but considering that you’re actually getting a total of 30 quality shadows, we feel that the price is worth it. Shop the Plaisir Box over at Sephora PH.
