Conceal and feel

Issy & Co. is giving us such a treat with the release of their new and improved Skin On the Go Collection. The Weightless Loose Powder (P349) now comes in a radiant finish. The Active Skin Tint (P499) has three new shades and is now packaged in a sleek squeeze tube. The pièce de résistance, however, is the Active Concealer (P399) - an oil-free concealer with hyaluronic acid that comes in 9 shades! Yes, you read that right. Nine shades!  

Oh, and just to a share a tip from the brand: If you want medium coverage, you can mix the Active Skin Tint and Active Concealer to achieve just that.

Let it glow

New from blk cosmetics is the Glow Stick (P399), which is a multitasking color stick that creates a radiant glow with a healthy flush of color. With two shades - Desert Rose (light pink) and Sunset (burnt terracotta), the Glow Stick can be used as a highlighter, blush, eyeshadow, and lip stain!

Tender, love, and care

Rising local beauty brand Clocheflame has just dropped their second product - the TLC Spray (P449). The TLC Spray hydrates and brightens the skin, while soothes and uplifts the senses. Think of it as a quick vacation for your skin. What are the key ingredients, you might ask? Coconut water, oat extract, niacinamide, and D-panthenol.

A clean conscience

If you’re looking for a way to reduce waste in your beauty routine, then look no further because The Body Shop has got you covered. Replace your disposable cotton pads with their Clean Conscience Reusable Cotton Pads (P695), which is made with bamboo and organic cotton. You get seven reusable cotton pads that are labeled for each day of the week and a 100% organic cotton laundry bag. Both kind to your skin and the planet, right?

You’re so fine

MAC just introduced the newest member to their Studio Fix Family - the Mattifine 12hr Shine-Control Primer (P2,300). The Mattifine gel primer mattifies your skin, reduces the appearance of pores, controls oil and shine for up to 12 hours, and improves the wear of your foundation. As someone who has oily skin, I’m so excited to try this! 

Okay, that’s it for this week! See you again next Friday!
