Beauty Roundup: Bridgerton x BBW, Lee Chae Min for Clinique, Heart E at Beauty Con 2024, and new GRWM retail stores
Dearest readers, I have returned to unveil this week’s beauty news roundup. This particular edition follows the intersection of show business and charming celebrities with the ever-changing beauty industry. Let’s take a peek at Bath & Body Works’ Bridgerton collection in collaboration with Netflix, and the charming new face of Clinique Moisture Surge. We also have all the details you need about the one and only Heart Evangelista’s talk at BeautyCon this month. Let’s congratulate makeup artist/beauty influencer/entrepreneur Mae Layug as her beauty brand GRWM opens its fourth physical store at SM North. Prepare yourselves for the exciting news unveiled below!

Bath & Body Works Bridgerton Collection
Aiming to elevate the sensorial experience of their subscribers, Netflix has partnered with Bath & Body Works (BBW), bringing us a whole line of products inspired by the Bridgerton series. BBW posted a series of posts on social media teasing glorious photos of assorted products with the scent “Diamond of the Season,” a limited release exclusively tied to the Bridgerton series.

Members of Bath & Body Works loyalty program have early access to the collection, but the full collection launches on March 25th, a few months before Bridgerton season 3 premieres. I pray that there will be stocks set aside for a local release, because it will likely sell out abroad!
Aside from “Diamond of the Season,” four new scents are to launch exclusively with the collection. The best part? This is only the first collaboration within a year-long partnership between Netflix and Bath & Body Works! Which series should they do next?

GRWM at SM North and SM Lanang
There’s no stopping beauty maven Mae Layug and her brand GRWM Cosmetics! On March 8th, the beauty brand officially opened its 4th physical store at SM North (Quezon City, NCR). Next up on their list is SM Lanang (Davao City, Davao del Sur) which launched on March 15th.
Her sentimental post on social media was captioned, “20-year-old Mae would have never imagined this. I had my life planned out at that time. But life always has its own twist. Took a lot of risks. Failed multiple times. Gave up many times. Got to pick myself up every time. And now we’re here. Still grinding. Still persevering. Still never losing faith. Still picking me up when I feel burnout. It’s not and will never be an easy journey but I am grateful I have people who have my back and people who have faith in us.” She also hints at even more new locations this month.
Congratulations, Mae and the GRWM team! Keep inspiring goal-getters as your successes reach new heights.
We have sadly reached the end of this beauty news roundup. I do sincerely hope that you enjoyed our Lady Whistledown-esque newsletter. Until next week, dearest readers!
