Pop! goes my heart
Is another Pinay celebrity is getting into the beauty biz? This photo of Sarah Geronimo with bright colored compact has been popping all over our social media feeds, and it looks like the Pop Princess is set to launch a new beauty brand on the same day as her newest album! There aren’t many details yet on what POP Studio PH is about or how the singer-actress is involved with the brand, but their social media pages tell us to watch out for a big announcement on May 31. The cherry-colored packaging of eyeshadows, lipsticks, and palettes definitely have us intrigued! More updates on this story soon.

A new Jenner-ation
I mean, we knew this was sort of coming our way, didn’t we? With all of her sisters venturing into different industries and businesses, it’s no surprise that Kendall Jenner is stepping up her game and broadening her reach. Since launching her oral healthcare brand Moon, people now think the supermodel might be starting her own cosmetics line, too! According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Jenner reportedly filed for the trademark of “Kendall” and “Kendall Jenner” for the purpose of a beauty line. With all of her current endorsements and campaigns, we’re not sure how this new brand will play out. Could there be skincare? Makeup? Body care? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see. How do you feel about Kendall possibly starting a beauty line?

A gigantic glow
If you aren’t a fan of their “barely there” makeup but love their skincare, we’ve got great news for you: Glossier has just relaunched their best selling Super Serums, and they’re bigger and better than ever! After taking a break from the brand’s website (yes, they actually removed the product for a time) the serums have resurfaced with an updated formulation and bigger 30mL bottle. And the best part? They kept the price at $28 each! Choose from Super Bounce (Hyaluronic serum), Super Glow (Vitamin C), and Super Pure (Niacinamide), or just grab all three for $65! All three serums have been reformulated to work faster and bring about more noticeable results. Shop the Glossier Super Serums here.

That’s harsh!
Uh-oh! Despite all the excited tweets about her upcoming skincare line Kylie Skin, Kylie Jenner is facing some major backlash with one specific product - her Walnut Scrub. According to the beauty mogul, this scrub is gentle enough to use every single day (!) and is perfect for exfoliating the skin. She even went on to say that it is her secret to a fresh face. The internet, however, is not having it. Walnuts are said to damage the skin because of the shells’ sharp edges, which cause skin damage. Several dermatologists have also weighed in on the fiasco, and the majority said that a scrub that rough shouldn’t be used every single day. Kylie has yet to respond to the backlash and violent reactions. Kylie Skin has six products (face wash, toner, serum, moisturizer, eye cream, and facial scrub) and launches on May 22nd. Would you try anything from her line?

WASO awesome
It’s a skincare celebration! Japanese brand Shiseido has just announced the return of their skincare range, WASO.
