Beauty Roundup: Happy Skin x Marj Eye Collab, Hello Glow Niacinamide Scrub, Issy Mono Sets, and Marian Rivera for Kiko Milano

This week’s beauty news roundup is serving up some tasty new local releases, capped off with a major celebrity meet and greet for an international beauty brand! Let’s check out the new collaboration between Happy Skin and Marj Maroket: an eye collection with an eyeshadow palette and eye brush set. Brighter days are ahead with Hello Glow’s Niacinamide Brightening Facial Scrub. Issy makes monochromatic looks easy with their new Monochromatic Color Sets. Last but not least, the #1 makeup brand in Italy, Kiko Milano, is hosting a meet and greet event with their local ambassador, Marian Rivera!

Happy Skin x Marj Maroket Eye Collection

Last year, Happy Skin collaborated with Marj Maroket, once for a collection of face brushes and another for cute mini travel versions of the original. Fans of these best-selling brushes rejoice! Last week, Happy Skin launched another collection with Marj, this time for the eyes. Included are a 9-pan eyeshadow palette and a 6-piece eye brush set.

The Happy Skin x Marj Eyeshadow Palette (P1,299) has a cream eyeshadow primer and a mix of eight matte, satin and shimmer powder shadows, all housed in a pretty pink square palette with a mirror. The universally-flattering shades were curated by Marj specifically to take eye looks from day to night. These include a primer (light beige), Earth (soft tan), Stardust (champagne shimmer), Vanilla (cream beige), Primrose (medium pink brown), Pink Sugar (rose shimmer topper), Clay (light tan), Brownie (medium taupe), and Truffle (deep brown).

The Happy Skin x Marj Eyeshadow Brush Set (P1,499) includes six (6) individually-labeled eye brushes, with a matching pouch case. The 100% vegan, cruelty-free brushes are made up of dense synthetic brush heads with matte wooden handles. The set has all the brushes you need for eyelid, eyeliner, and eyebrow makeup application: angled dual-sided brush, fluffy blending brush, crease brush, blending brush, pencil brush, and flat shader brush.

I therefore conclude that the Happy Skin x Marj Eye Collection has everything you need to make versatile eye looks. These are great choices for those starting to learn about makeup, and those who know their way around their brushes. The eyeshadow palette and brush set are available separately, or as a set (P2,449 instead of P2,798).

Brighter days ahead with Hello Glow’s new facial scrub

Looking for an effective yet gentle brightening facial scrub? Meet Hello Glow Niacinamide Brightening Facial Scrub (P245, 100g). It has micro-fine exfoliating beads that removes impurities and helps reveal healthy, glowing skin. It is formulated with Niacinamide and Vitamin C that helps lighten skin, and improve fine lines and wrinkles. It soothes and nourishes with Allantoin, Vitamin E, and Aloe Vera and Kiwi fruit extracts.

I can totally see how the combination of the gentle physical exfoliants, effective active ingredients, and nourishing natural ingredients can truly help brighten the skin. Recommended for use up to twice weekly, this facial scrub is suitable for all skin types.

Marian Rivera for Kiko Milano

Marian Rivera is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful faces in Philippine show business. It is only fitting that she is the local ambassador for Kiko Milano, Italy’s #1 makeup brand. Get the chance to meet Marian in person and explore Kiko Milano’s iconic bestsellers on July 17th, 2024 at Kiko Milano SM Megamall (bldg. B) from 3:00-4:00PM.
