Dubai Bling on Netflix follows a group of millionaire socialites living it up in one of the most fabulous cities in the world. It’s trashy reality TV at its finest, with the cast all possessing a complete lack of self-awareness and finding themselves devoid of basic social skills in highly improbable situations.

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!

Looking for mascara that can help my eyes look bright and awake is my latest makeup obsession. I've been looking at different makeup brands including the famous Heroine Make from Japan. I've heard a lot of good things about their mascaras: great at providing curl, length, and volume though a bit hard to remove. Did you know that they have other complementary lash products too like the KissMe Heroine Make Curl Keep Mascara Base? Here’s my review!

Skincare is so personal that it’s almost impossible to tell which ingredient/s in your products cause your skin to react positively or negatively. And then of course there are also products that by their very nature cause your skin to “purge” in order to clear out pore blockages, such as those with chemical exfoliants (acids) and retinol. It can get confusing that even for me it’s hard to tell, but I do have some advice for you!

Happy Friday, PV Community! What are your plans for the long weekend? Are you traveling somewhere? Staying indoors? Well, whatever you do, I hope you have a wonderful time. As for me, I will be in bed, reading the whole long weekend! Anyway, before that, it’s time for what’s new in beauty!

When Vice Cosmetics recently released their Endlezz G Collection, they didn’t have just undertones and skin tones in mind. They have also taken the step to including the spectrum of ages that enjoy makeup and the different lifestyles they lead. For me, the Endlezz G launch plays into the understanding that beauty is for all no matter what your reality, hobbies, and physique may be because beauty is whatever form and function you want it to be.

Real talk: the soles of my feet had gotten to a point where the thick callouses catch threads when I drag them through my Tencel bed sheets. I’ve been ignoring this for a while but it’s really gotten to a point where the dead skin is starting to annoy me! So, it was the perfect opportunity to give the new Baby Foot Peel in Peach Scent (Limited Edition) (P830 in Lazada/Shopee) a try.

Watsons Club, the loyalty membership program of Watsons store, is having a month-long celebration for its 4 th year anniversary this October! More exciting deals, discounts, and prizes for all its members!

Revenge travel is everyone’s favorite hobby at the moment now that the world has opened up post-pandemic. I’ve been on a couple of trips abroad myself this year and the energy at the airport is really different - people are more excited and at the same time more appreciative of the privilege to be able to travel to other countries once again.

How’s it going, PV Community? The weekend is upon us, and I just can’t wait for it. You see, I’ll be organizing my beauty space this weekend and I’m so excited. How about you? What are your weekend plans? You might want to consider checking out the latest in beauty this week:

A.S. Watson, the world’s largest international health and beauty retailer, is proud to announce the regional launch of “Skinfie Lab”, an innovative skin analysis tool that creates highly personalised skincare product recommendations based on customers’ selfies. Skinfie Lab is first launched at Watsons Hong Kong and will be rolled out to Thailand, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia by early 2023.

It's always a happy occasion when your skin meets a skincare brand that suits it well. Being hiyang with a brand is no small thing! Kiehl's is one such brand for my skin and I feel extra rewarded in using their products for the following reasons.

I love going to bazaars all over the world and exploring what each stall has inside. I can spend HOURS just turning over every trinket, and particularly enjoy hauling home my favorites so I can wear them ASAP. It’s the kind of place where you can find something truly unique, especially from small business that don’t have as much capital to be in retail full-time, but still have a lot to offer!

PV Community, Halloween is just around the corner! Are you dressing up for it this year? Do you have makeup looks you’re going to recreate? Gosh, the last time I did a makeup look for Halloween was years ago, so I think it’s time to do so again! Join me, will you? Anyway, while we wait for Halloween, let’s dive into the latest in beauty.

The brand first came to my attention when Liz reviewed the Drunk Elephant Sukari Babyfacial. Drunk Elephant was available at Sephora Philippines then and the Babyfacial was one of their bestsellers.

Founded by Tiffany Masterson in 2013, the brand took its name from the myth that elephants get drunk from the fallen fermented marula fruit. This is because Virgin Marula Oil is an ingredient featured in many of Drunk Elephant’s products!

Ever Bilena Plus is the brand’s fresh take on must-haves designed to be in your daily beauty kit. They released new formulations that I think are quite a steal, given that most of them are just under P300. Let’s take a look, and let me share with you some standouts that I’ve been enjoying a LOT!

I recently got the opportunity to go on vacation for the first time since the pandemic started back in 2020. I needed somewhere fun, yummy and preferably close by. Singapore was the obvious choice.

Aside from being one of the food capitals of the world, Singapore is also known for fashion and beauty - a fact that any fan of Crazy Rich Asians can attest to! Every glamorous outfit on that movie was topped with perfect skin and amazing makeup. In between sight-seeing at Marina Bay and chowing down on sumptuous chili crab, I was on a mission to find the best places in Singapore to indulge my love affair with skincare and cosmetics.

Hi there, PV Community! How’s it going? Hope you’re all doing well. I have a random beauty question for all of you - which celebrity beauty line is your favorite? I know there are plenty, but what’s on the top of your list? Personally, I’m currently really loving R.E.M. Beauty! Maybe I’m biased because it’s Ariana Grande, but the products I’ve tried so far have been so good!

I have not been so kind to my skin lately. Lately, my job finds me outdoors for most of the day, and even with sunscreen application and strategically finding shaded areas to stand in, the sun and its reflection on the pavement have led to unevenly tanned skin and sun spots galore. Will switching from a simple hydrating skincare routine to an actively brightening one help? That was my big question when I swapped my usual nighttime picks for a duo from the Laneige Radian-C line!

I was scrolling through Facebook earlier this morning when I chanced upon this comic strip by War and Peas. I shared it on my social media platforms but I thought it deserved a spot on Project Vanity too!
