Has the rainy weather dampened your mood? This week’s roundup of beauty news brings you colorful new local and international releases that will hopefully brighten your day! Feel all the feels with BYS Cosmetics x Inside Out 2 collection. Happy Skin is determined to make us blush with the release of not one, but two new blush formulas! MAC brings back some of the most requested limited edition shades as part of their 40th Anniversary celebration. Last but not least, Nudestix has shifted from stix to stax with their latest minimalist lineup.

BYS x Disney Inside Out 2

Your eyes are not deceiving you! This week, BYS Cosmetics released a massive collection featuring Disney/Pixar film Inside Out 2. The colorful collaboration includes eye products, lip and cheek color, skin tints, and even a brush set and hydrating mist. Each product’s color and packaging are inspired by an emotion in the film! Let’s get to know which products you can add to cart right now.

Ace your base with the dynamic duo of Joy and Sadness. The Radiant Bliss Sun Tint (P699) is a tinted moisturizer with SPF30, and comes in three shades: Beam, Ray, and Light. The Cheer Up! Hydrating Mist (P599) contains Hyaluronic Acid to help keep skin hydrated all day. I personally love the round flask container that reminds me of a water canteen!

Dazzle ‘em with your eye look, courtesy of Ennui, Envy, and Fear. Ennui’s Effortless Liquid Eyeliner (P349) in Too Cool to Care Black is a smudge-proof, waterproof formula that lasts all day. Be the Envy of everyone with the OMG! Glitter Liquid Eyeliner (P349) which has microfine glitter in silver. Achieve the feathery laminated brow look with the Fearless Brow Mascara (P349) comes in Clear, Bold Brown, and Dark Brown.

Whether you’re feeling shy, anxious, or mad, this collection’s got the lip and cheek color for you. Calm your lips while adding color with Anxiety’s Color Adapting Calming Lip Oil (P449). Anger’s Mad Matte Liquid Lipstick (P399) is a cream to powder formula that comes in four shades. Get that pretty flush with the Super Shy Liquid Blush (P499) that comes in Blushing Pink, Turning Pink, and Shy Mauve.

Happy Skin makes us blush

Whether you prefer a cream or powder formula, Happy Skin’s new blushes have you covered. Housed in a cute oval compact with mirror in the brand’s signature pink shade, two new blush formulas are available: Second Skin Melting Cream Blush (P599) and Second Skin Soft Matte Powder Blush (P599).

The buildable, lightweight, and long-wearing cream formula has a natural matte finish.

Introducing Nudestix Stax

Nudestix fans, are you ready to Snap, Stax, and Go? Meet Nudestix Stax All Over Color Blush Balm ($24), a multitasking face color that works for cheeks, eyes, and lips. Multitasking formulas are nothing new to the brand, but this time, the product is housed in magnetic pans with convenient mirror covers. The blush is formulated with the latest in Korean cushion technology. What appears as a cream formula in the pan applies like an airy cloud cushion on the skin.

Nudestix Stax comes in eight (8) shades: Sunkissed (warm rich terracotta), Melon Sugar (neutral watermelon coral), Love & Roses (neutral rose), Cheeky Coral (warm rosy coral), Picante Nude (warm nude peach), Barely Nude (neutral warm rose tan), Pink Love (cool bright rose-pink), Sunstone (warm, nude bronze), and Magenta Matte (cool fuchsia pink).

The match blush and pan containers are speaking to my soul. I love the idea that I can mix and match to my heart’s desire, whether I go for my usual monochromatic look or spice it up with a mix of colors. Nudestix Stax All Over Color Blush Balm launches on July 28th, 2024 exclusively at the Nudestix website. Crossing my fingers that this will be available on Sephora.ph soon, too!

And that’s it for this week’s colorful beauty news roundup! I do wonder if any of these new releases caught your eye. Let me know in the comments, and see you next week!
