Beauty News Roundup: More Disney goodies, high on highlighters, and a new K-Beauty brand
Put away those plastic pumpkins and try to recover from all that candy because the more festive “ber” months are upon us. Hello November! Packed with even more new launches and a few beauty collaborations, this week’s roundup features some really exciting things we just can’t wait to get our hands on (so we can slather them on our faces). From MAC’s new highlighter collection and more Glossier goodness to a cult Korean brand that’ll be hitting the drugstore aisle soon, this first week of November will leave you craving for more!
We can't have too much Disney
It seems that Happy Skin's collab with Disney goes deeper than we thought! We just found out that Happy Skin will be selling singles of their new lippies for P699 (yay), as well as two new formulations in their lineup. Check out the Luminous Mesh Blush (P899) and the Brightening Powder Foundation (P1,499). The keen eyes of the PV team spotted the powder foundation (part of the photo above) sold at Zalora yesterday but it seems to have been pulled out as of the time of publishing. We'll find out more on the launch event next week so stay tuned for that!

On a highlighter high
Shining, shimmering, and oh so splendid! Known for their iconic highlighters like Soft and Gentle and the Strobe Cream, MAC Cosmetics is at it again with a full-on massive collection!

Their famous Strobe Cream will be renamed “Pinklite” and include four more shades of pearly, glowy goodness: Peachlite, Silverlite, Redlite, and Goldlite ($33). If creams aren’t your thing though, the Extra Dimension Skinfinish Powders ($33) are sure to wow you. These buttery powders feature a unique duochrome effect that flashes two different colors when applied on the skin. Choose from Doublegleam, Show Gold, Soft Frost, or Beaming Blush, though they’re all so pretty that it’s hard to pick just one. Check your MAC counters ASAP, or head over to maccosmetics.com right after reading the rest of this story!

Glossier and glossier
You know a cosmetics brand is good when, despite the hype, their products perform super well and need little to no promotion. Well, it looks like Glossier is at it again, and they’re upping their makeup game just in time for the holidays.
Their Glossier Black Tie Set is every minimalist’s dream collection: Glossier Lip Gloss (a translucent rose-hued gel balm), No. 1 Pencil in Graphite (a self-sharpening eyeliner with silky pigmentation), #GlossierPink Nail Polish (the signature petal pink color of the brand), and the new Moonstone highlighter stick (an opal shade that gives an amazing glow on the cheeks). The limited edition collection is available at Glossier.com and retails for $50.

Nothing shade(y) about Sally
Between shopping for gifts and attending all the holiday parties, something from our usual beauty routine is bound fall through the cracks. With barely any time to sit still, much less go to the parlor, we’d have resigned ourselves to chipped manicures and untended cuticles if not for Sally Hansen’s Color Therapy Collection ($8.99). These nail polishes include skin-caring ingredients like argan oil, acai, and evening primrose oils so that they also nourish and moisturize your nail beds. It’s nifty and long-wearing so you can opt to skip your weekly appointment and spend the time enjoying the holidays instead!

Cos we can’t get enough of Korean skincare
If the famous 10-step regimen is much too crazy for you, you can at least add some cult skin care products to boost your current regimen. CosRX teased that they’ll soon be coming to Watsons Philippines, and we hear that a few products have already been spotted in SM Megamall and SM Aura! This is the first time the K-beauty brand will officially be available in physical stores, though you can also get your fix by shopping online at beautymnl.com or theskincarecurator.com.
