Beauty Roundup: Issy Vitamin Balm, Colourette Colourdrip, Absidy Glazing Serum Lip Stain and Salon at Home with KISS

Can you believe it’s already August? Just like that, we’re on the last leg of 2024’s third quarter. The colder weather (and my extra chapped lips) definitely reminds me that the ber months are nearing. Thankfully there are new moisturizing lip treats from local brands: Issy’s Vitamin Balm, Colourette’s Colourdrip, and Absidy’s Glazing Serum Lip Stain. Rain or shine, KISS Philippines has everything you need for the ultimate salon experience right at home. Curious yet? One roundup of this week’s beauty news, coming right up!

Issy Cosmetics Vitamin Balm

Described as a “restorative lip butter,” Issy’s new lip balms are the vitamins you wouldn’t forget to take. Meet Vitamin Balm (P399), a lip butter infused with antioxidants and vitamins. The clear inner core contains repairing Vitamin C and Vitamin E, while the outer shell has nourishing Squalane, Jojoba Esters, and Sunflower Seed Oil.

Issy Vitamin Balm is available in two variants: Universal Clear (light blue) and Universal Tint (black). Wear it alone or under your lip color for the day. Get yours exclusively at the Issy Flagship Store in Lazada (for now). The good news: all profits from the launch week (July 28 to August 3) will be donated to @wavesforwaterphilippines in response to Typhoon Carina.

Colourette’s new Colourdrip Lip Oil-Serum

If you’re looking for a lip treatment that also lends flattering color, Colourette’s newest drop just might be the hardworking multitasker for you. Meet Colourette Colourdrip (P349), a lip oil-serum that instantly hydrates lips and comes in universally flattering shades. Infused with Jojoba, Hazelnut Seed, and Multiflora Rose Oils, the lightweight formula is packed with nourishing and hydrating emollients.

In a video shared on the brand’s social media accounts, Colourette Founder Nina Ellaine Dizon shares, “Colourdrip is timeless… because hindi mawawala sa trend ang healthy lips.” In the same video, Colourette Product Development Consultant and seasoned makeup artist Xeng Zulueta says she loves Colourdrip because it comes in three (3) shades with different finishes: Sugar (sheer blush pink gloss), Spice (cherry cola red), and Nice (MLBB nude with microshimmer).

Absidy Glazing Serum Lip Stain

This is not a drill: Kendra Kramer is the new face of Absidy! The 15-year old beauty delighted Team Kramer fans when Absidy launched its Glazing Serum Lip Stain (P395) recently. The brand’s newest lip product combines the shine and moisture of a lip oil with the staining power of a lip tint. Formulated with Panthenol, Sweet Almond Oil, and Squalane, lips get a cooling dose of antioxidants and intense hydration with shine and lasting color.

The gel-to-oil formula comes in eight (8) delicious shades: Maple (rosy brown), Summer (sun-kissed coral), Cupid (mauve pink), Taffy (strawberry pink), Cashew (warm nude brown), Cherry (everyday red), Lovebug (nude mauve), and Merlot (berry wine).

At a recent event, KISS Philippines brand ambassadors Kaila Estrada, Lorin Bektas, and Angelina Cruz enjoyed styling their fashionable outfits with their choice of KISS press-on nails.
