Beauty Roundup: A series of local beauty releases and Fenty Beauty’s first bullet lipsticks!

Happy Valentine’s Day, PV Community! I know this is cliché, but Valentine’s Day doesn’t really have to be about the romantic type of love. You can celebrate different kinds of love - self, platonic, family, and more. Here at Project Vanity, we’re all about love for beauty, and it’s time to show some love for the latest in beauty!

Nectar and a star
BYS Philippines just dropped two big news - a lipstick line and their newest face, rising Korean star Han So Hee! In addition to being the brand’s ambassador, Han So Hee co-created Lip Nectar (P499), which is an easy-to-apply liquid lipstick that has a velvety-soft matte finish. Named after flowers, the 8 Lip Nectar shades reflect Han So Hee’s cool persona and strong roles. What a collaboration!

A big skincare plus  
Ever Bilena Plus is offering us two new skincare companions - their Low pH Squalane Cleanser (P395/100ml) and Glycolic Toner (P395/100ml). The cleanser is formulated with squalane, glycerin, and allantoin, while the toner has both glycolic acid and glycerin. In case you’re wondering, both are made in Korea, alcohol-, paraben-, cruelty-, and fragrance-free!

Think pink
Looking for a new soap to try? Look no further because SNAILWHITE recently released the Pink Vitamin C Micellar Soap (P119), a brightening soap for the face and body that’s made for oily and combination skin. In addition to its rich micellar foam, this soap has bamboo water, vitamin C, and snail mucin! What a packed beauty bar!

You can’t see me 
We have a new sunscreen from Happy Skin! The brand just revealed the new Rescue Me Invisible Sun Gel Primer (P899) that has broad spectrum SPF 40, anti-blue light technology, photolyase, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides! This sunscreen goes on clear, which makes it suit every skin tone!

An iconic lipstick?

While it’s too early to call Fenty Beauty’s Icon Refillable Semi-Matte Lipstick iconic since it has just been released, it already took the internet by storm because it’s the brand’s first bullet lipstick! Coming in 10 shades that range from classic nudes to bold reds, this lipstick is formulated with hyaluronic acid and vitamins C and E. One last thing - did you know that the precisely designed bullet tip is inspired by Rihanna’s unique cupid’s bow? 

Okay, that’s it for this week! See you again next time!
