Beauty Roundup: New Happy Skin Foundation, Issy Mousse Lip Stain, ABH Tinted Brow Gel, and Rihanna for Dior J’adore
And so the first week of September has literally blown in. Well, it seems the beauty world has also been working up a frenzy of new releases. No wonder, as the holidays are nearing! This week’s Beauty News Roundup introduces new drops from Happy Skin (Seamless Perfecting Liquid Foundation), Issy (Mousse Lip Tint), and Anastasia Beverly Hills (Volumizing Tinted Brow Gel). Last but definitely not the least, the new face of Dior J’adore fragrances is none other than Rihanna! We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so let’s get started.

New Happy Skin Liquid Foundation
Local beauty brand Happy Skin recently released a new liquid foundation, and it has been making the rounds on social media for good reason! Meet the Seamless Perfecting Liquid Foundation (P999), the latest addition to their Off Duty Collection. Ideal for daily use and all skin types, this skin-caring foundation blurs blemishes while nourishing with Ceramides, Bakuchiol, and oil-controlling Crodarom. I, for one, am curious to try it for myself because of all the glowing reviews! Regardless of skin type and skin tone, they all agree: this foundation feels mild and light on the skin, yet provides impressive skin-like coverage.

I’m also impressed when I learned that it is available in twelve (12) shades: Porcelain Beige (ultra fair skin, neutral undertone), Ivory Beige (fair neutral), Linen Beige (fair warm), Fair Beige (fair cool), Nude Beige (fair to light neutral), Light Beige (light neutral), Sand Beige (light to medium neutral), Soft Beige (light to medium warm), Buff Beige (medium neutral), Honey Beige (medium warm), Caramel Beige (medium to deep neutral), and Hazelnut Beige (deep neutral).

New Issy MOUSSE Lip Tint
Attendees of Pinktopia, a two-day Issy pop-up store event last August 31st to September 1st, were the first to try Issy Cosmetics’ latest drop: the Mousse Lip Tint (P349). The velvety cream tint has buildable pigment with a plush matte blurred finish and leaves a true-to-tone stain. Unlike other mousse type tints, it doesn’t feel drying on the lips thanks to the nourishing Ceramides and Rosehip Seed Oil in the formula. The best part: it’s designed to be used not just for the lips, but for the cheeks and eyes as well!

There are a total of ten (10) available shades: Tickle (kittenish pink), Slip (taut rosy nude), Teddy (cool brown), Whip (baby peach), Mischief (bratty warm rose), Bitten (bruised mulberry), Freaky (wild pink berry), Fixation (90’s brown obsession), Casual (chill rosewood), and Espresso (roasted deep brown).

New Anastasia Beverly Hills Volumizing Tinted Brow Gel
Brow trends have come and gone, and still Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH) has kept its hold as the OG go-to brand for brow makeup. Launched on September 5th worldwide via website, the newest addition to their brow repertoire is here: the Volumizing Tinted Brow Gel (P1,550 full size, P790 deluxe mini). Not to be confused with their other brow gel products, this promises “Perfect Brows in Seconds.”

While the lightweight, water-resistant, buildable formula gives impressive wear time of up to 24 hours, what takes it to the next level is the tiny custom brush. It has two sides: the one with shorter bristles are designed to shade the skin, while the other side with longer bristles coat each strand individually for that natural texture and hold. It comes in nine (9) universal shades with warm, cool, and neutral tones. For now, it is available on the Anastasia Beverly Hills website; no word yet on when it will be available to local retailers.

Rihanna for Dior J’adore
And so the new Dior J’adore muse is none other than Rihanna. To mark the occasion, renowned photographer-filmmaker Steven Klein captured the icon’s ascent to the Dior throne after a decadent golden metamorphosis.
Set to her single, “Love on the Brain,” Rihanna dons a stunning gold gown and accessories by none other than Dior’s Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri. The scent of Dior J’adore L’Or promptly transports her to Versailles where all her golden dreams come alive. The short film is such a decadent treat to the senses, and personally leaves me wanting more! I can’t wait to see what else this partnership can bring.
And that’s it for this week’s beauty news roundup! Weather permitting, I do hope to see you on the next one. Until then!
