Kiehl’s Better Screen™ UV Serum SPF 50+ Facial Sunscreen with Collagen Peptide

Luxe Organix A Night in Paris Luxe Fragrances Collection

Luxe Organix adds new fragrances to their popular Luxe Fragrance lineup! This time, we are transported to the City of Love with the new A Night in Paris EDT Collection (P299 each). Three fragrances contend for our attention: Full Blossom, Midnight Bloom, and Hypnotic Potion.

If you’re partial to floral scents, the Full Blossom EDT just might be for you. Opening with notes of Mandarin Citrus, Neroli, and Bergamot, it blooms into Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Neroli Essence. Base notes of Vanilla, Amber, and Musk add a mature sweetness to it.

Midnight Bloom is perfect for date nights (or days) when you want to add a sophisticated touch to your aura. Wrapped in sparkling citrus, glowing florals, and warm amber woods, this scent leaves an alluring trail wherever the night takes you.

Step into your sensual era with Hypnotic Potion. Just like a mysterious evening in Paris, the scent is unforgettably bold and alluring. The captivating beauty of jasmine blooms with sparkling pink pepper, soft vanilla bourbon, and cashmere woods, leaving them wanting more.

Which one tells the story you want to embody? Try them on for yourself at Watsons and SM Beauty for only P299 per bottle.

Rare Beauty True to Myself Natural Matte Longwear Foundation

The True to Myself Natural Matte Longwear Foundation (P2,750, 30mL at sephora.ph) is a self-priming and self-setting foundation with buildable coverage and a natural matte finish. Infused with True Comfort Complex™ (a skin barrier-boosting blend of sodium hyaluronate, ginger root, and algae extract), it promises comfortable wear all day with hydrated skin.
