Beauty Roundup: Happy Skin Smart Shade Match Stick Foundation, Maybelline Cloudtopia, Squad Cosmetics Gloss Tint Duo, and Tillo Till You EDT

This week’s Beauty News Roundup features all the newest local beauty drops that will definitely help keep you fresh! We’ll take a look at Happy Skin’s new Smart Shade Match Stick Foundation, a (literally) solid version of their popular tone-adapting Smart Shade Liquid Foundation. Maybelline releases Cloudtopia Cheek & Lip Mousse for that effortless flush. Squad Cosmetics has a new lippie you might want to try: the Gloss Tint Duo, a dual-ended lip product with a tint and gloss in one product. Tillo MNL debuts their first ever line of fragrances, the Till You EDT Mists.

Happy Skin Smart Shade Match Stick Foundation

Looking for the ultimate travel-friendly base? Happy Skin just might have the very thing: the Smart Shade Match Stick Foundation (P999). It provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 PA+++ and adjusts to your skin tone with a natural finish.

It comes in three (3) ton-adaptive shades: Light Beige (light skintone), Soft Beige (medium skintone), and Warm Beige (warm skintone). I do appreciate that it has three shades compared to their Smart Shade Match (Liquid) Foundation’s two shades.

Interestingly, it promises smooth, buildable coverage with a blurring effect. I honestly am intrigued if this will work on my textured skin with neutral-cool undertone. Luckily, this is now available at Happy Skin boutiques and online channels!

Maybelline Cloudtopia 14H Multi-Use Color Mousse

Meet Maybelline’s newest entry in the lip and cheek color department: the Cloudtopia 14H Multi-Use Color Mousse (P599). A lightweight mousse formula in a pot, it promises to deliver pigmented color with a blurred matte finish that lasts up to 14 hours. Designed to be used on cheeks, lips, and even lids, it is also sweat-resistant and transfer-proof.

It comes in six (6) shades: 05 Coral Illusion, 08 Enchanted Mauve, 09 Dreamy Dawn, 10 Solar Serenity, 03 Crimson, and 07 Moonlit Rose. The shades do look like they’re a breeze to build and blend. The brand even recommends mixing and matching the shades for unique looks!

And just in case you were wondering which shades will suit your skin tone and undertone best, this handy guide above can help! But of course, it’s best to see for yourself. Check out Maybelline Cloudtopia at physical stores and online channels most convenient for you!

Squad Cosmetics Gloss Tint Duo

Ever wished you didn’t have to carry a separate lip tint and gloss? Squad Cosmetics solves that problem with the new Gloss Tint Duo (P199), a double-ended lippie with a lip tint on one side and a clear gloss on the other!

The gel lip tint side gives a naturally flushed, long-wearing stain. The gloss adds moisture and a high-shine finish. Choose to layer the gloss over the tint, or use each end separately if you so desire.

The Gloss Tint Duo comes in eight (8) juicy shades: Strawberry Juice, Watermelon Punch, Cranberry Crush, Dark Cherry Ade, Fruit Punch, Pom Fizz, Sweet Tea, and Soda Pop. Check it out in-store and online via Shopee, Lazada and TikTok Shop.

Tillo Till You EDT Collection

Beauty influencer Teree Daisuke’s brand Tillo MNL introduces its first ever line of fragrances. Inspired by 90’s nostalgia, the Till You EDT Mist (P399) Collection evokes memories of school days past. Each mist comes in a travel-friendly custom-mold plastic bottle. The scents can be layered and last up to 4 hours. It’s also ready to gift as it comes in a box!

There are four (4) signature scents in the collection. C U L8R is a fresh and clean fragrance reminiscent of weekend meetups with friends. F.L.A.M.E.S. embodies sugar, spice, and everything nice with its “boozy gourmande” aroma. M.U. is a powdery floral fragrance that gives main character, queen bee energy. Babe, Peksman has a citrusy sweet scent that will remind you of your campus crush.

And that’s it for this week’s Beauty News Roundup! Which new launch caught your eye? See you on the next edition!
