And just like that, it’s the month of November, PV Community! As we slowly usher in the holiday season, expect beauty releases to still be on full speed ahead. After all, a lot can happen in a week, as evidenced by these new drops in beauty!

These days, we expect more than just a singular purpose from our lip product and a lot of beauty’s recent releases have been answering. These lip hybrids deliver a punch of color while also providing other benefits like a glossy finish, a hydrating boost, or both, or more. Here are 5 local lip products to try:

Hey, PV Community! How’s the month of April going for you? Sorry if I’ve been MIA with the beauty roundup - I moved to a new place last week and have been unpacking ever since. Now that I’m finally done, it’s back to regular programming - time for this week’s beauty roundup!

The Colourette Velvetints were a hit for me when they first launched in 2018. There were three well-curated shades in a multipurpose formula that’s pigmented, comfortable, blendable, and affordable at P299 - I still have Birthday Cake on regular rotation! Colourette recently added nine more shades to the line with an improved formula and relaunched packaging so I was really excited to try these. Now at P349 each for 3.5ml of product (they used to be 3g), is it worth getting your hands on the new #VeryVelvet Velvetints?
