NEW Glossier Cloud Paint Bronzers
For a hot minute, Glossier was the it girl of the beauty world, and Cloud Paint was their hottest product. Cloud Paint is a sheer but buildable blush in gel formula that came in delicious colors. Now, seven years after they first launched Cloud Paint, they are releasing five new shades that can be used as bronzers!

Cloud Paint Bronzers (22 USD) come in five shades: Sail (light neutral tan), Dune (golden tan), Swept (medium neutral tan), Coast (golden bronze), and Drift (deep neutral bronze). Glossier encourages the use of Cloud Paint blushes and Cloud Paint Bronzers together for a seamlessly natural look.

This news was met with mixed reactions from Glossier fans. Some say it was long overdue, and should have been released in the heyday of the original Cloud Paint blushes. Others feel like the color selection is lacking in options for all skin tones. Personally though, I feel like it was a smart move. Their other products have received mixed reviews, but Cloud Paint was and remains to be a fave among buyers. Expanding the line will definitely be to their advantage. I mean, I won’t be mad if they added highlighters and contour shades, too. What do you think? Are you interested in trying them out?

Meet the newest member of the Dyson family
Let’s take a look at the Dyson Supersonic r™ Professional hair dryer, which launched this February at New York Fashion Week. Not gonna lie, my first thought was that it looked like something the Mario Brothers can climb in and emerge out of.

Yes, it looks completely different from the previous Supersonic hair dryers. It now resembles a lower case “r,” hence the name. It is also 20% smaller and 30% lighter, ergonomically designed for the comfort of professional hair stylists. It comes with five intelligent attachments that automatically optimize heat and air flow during use. Stylists can achieve different looks with the impressive combination of three airflow levels and four heat modes (one of which is a constant cold mode).
It is exclusively available to professional hair stylists and salon owners. Get more details on Instagram at @dysonhairpro.

Easy peasy hair removal with Blackwater Women
When it comes to hair removal, what’s your weapon of choice? Typical options include shaving, plucking, waxing, and laser hair removal–all of which come with their pros and cons. If you’re still not 100% happy with how you deal with unwanted body hair, Blackwater just might have something for you. Meet Blackwater Women’s Bubble Up Effortless Hair Removal Spray Foam (P265, 150 mL).

It is used like a typical hair removal cream, but this one is a spray-on bubble foam! It also has skin-caring ingredients and is gentler on the skin than other formulas. The results last longer than a regular shave, too. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve been more excited to try a hair removal product. I get a whole bottle for less than a wax session at the mall! Plus, I can do it on my own anytime I need to.

Hello Glow enters the hair care game
Summer is fast approaching, and Hello Glow’s latest release just might help keep you and your scalp fresh all day. Meet Hello Glow Hairsaver Dry Shampoo (P299, 150mL). Simply spray on to your scalp to freshen up your hair without washing! Bonus: it also helps add volume and extend the hold of your chosen hairstyle. I can definitely see this helping me through active days in the hot, humid weather. Yay for a local beauty brand serving up their own dry shampoo! Another must-try that’s already added to my to-buy list, for sure.

Add to cart IRL at the first ever Avon Retail Corner
On Valentine’s day, Avon Philippines officially opened the country’s first ever Avon Retail Corner at Quirino Avenue, Novaliches (beside Bestlink Colleges). Now, anyone can drop by and shop their Avon faves in real life.

I do like the traditional Avon shopping (I love leafing through those scratch n’ sniff catalogs) with an Avon dealer. But then again, in-store shopping allows buyers to try on and test products. You also won’t have to wait for your order to arrive as the shop has ready stocks for purchase. Looking forward to more Avon Retail Corners popping up at more locations!
And that’s it, this week’s Beauty Roundup is a wrap! How do you feel about the featured beauty brands’ unexpected new moves?
