Beauty Roundup: A series of Filipino beauty releases and new Jo Malone London fragrances!

Hi, PV Community! How are you all doing? I know it’s been a tumultuous month so far, so I hope beauty can offer a sense of normalcy and an escape. With that, here are the latest in beauty.

Smooth like butter

Pili Ani recently released their Lip Butters, which are moisturizing lip balms that come in Mint (P450) and four tinted shades (P550/each) - Berry, Choclát, Barely There, and Barely Red. Infused with elemi oil and the new Pili Butter formula, these nourishing and moisturizing balms are perfect for daily lip care, dry and cracked lips, and a swipe of color. By the way, Pili Ani curated a Lip & Face Set (P900), where you get the Mint balm, one tinted balm, 3ml Ageless Concentrate, and 3ml Self-care Night Recovery Oil! Such a steal!

Bomb diggity

There’s a new matte lipstick in town courtesy of Chu Chü Beauty! Meet Matte Bomb (P199), a non-drying matte lipstick that gives rich color payoff with a silky-smooth and ultra-matte finish. The Matte Bombs come in nine shades that are categorized into three: nudes and browns - Baked Beige, Nude Affair, and 90’s Brown; peaches and corals - Peach Fizz, Classic Coral, and Retro Brick; and pinks and reds - Bridal Bloom, Smoke Mauve, and Mellow Wine. Personally, I love matte lipsticks so the more options, the merrier!

The power of three

Three new Radiance Tints (P349) have been introduced into the GRWM Cosmetics family, and they are shades that might not be what you expected. First up is 29C Honey, which is a deep shade with cool undertone. Next is the Peach Corrector, which as the name suggests is a corrector that works for dark circles. Finally, we have 00 Milk, a flat white shade that can be used as an eyelid primer, color adjuster, and more. Great additions!

Easier said and done

Vice Cosmetics surprised us all with the release of their MultiGANDA One & Done Sticks (P295/each), a collection of seven curated multi-use sticks that are infused with macadamia oil and seaweed extract. The shades are Society (silver pearl highlighter), Push (cool medium brown contour), Achieve (warm medium brown contour), Berry Good (deep berry blush), Pinky Promiz (muted peony blush), Peachy Peachy (fresh peach blush), and The Nude Normal (rose brown blush). So thrilled about the contour shades!

To blossom

There are new limited-edition Jo Malone London fragrances, and they are inviting you to a Sardinian summer in the Mediterranean. The Blossoms Collection feature the floral Sea Daffodil, light floral Silk Blossom, and citrus Bitter Mandarin. The 50ml bottle is P6,500, while the 100ml bottle retails for P9,100. Ah, to get to escape and go on vacation through fragrances!

Okay, that’s it for this week. See you next time!
