Careline Matte Edge Lip Bullet
Yet again, Careline surprises us with a gorgeous lip product that won’t break the bank. Meet Careline Matte Edge Lip Bullet (P250, 3.5g), a non-drying yet full coverage matte lipstick. Housed in a geometric silver case, the lipstick itself is cut with five straight edges. I can totally see how this can add precision while applying the lipstick, even without a lip liner.

Hyaloo Glow Boost 12% Vita-C Serum
Jes wrote a quick brand introduction to Hyaloo a while back. Long story short, it’s a local brand with formulations made in Korea, making KBeauty both accessible and affordable here in the Philppines. In the article, she wrote about the brand’s Aqua Plus and Glow Boost product lines. Good news: they recently expanded the line with a serum!
