Beauty Roundup: A Busy, Busy March in the Local Beauty Scene
The first two months of the year have been slow in terms of beauty releases but little did we know, it was just the calm before the storm! As we celebrate National Women’s Month this year, our local beauty brands seem to be keeping us on our toes with new launches left and right.
Here are all the beauty releases we have been blessed with this month alone!
Lucky Beauty Charms
Actress Andrea Brillantes’ dream brand turned to reality launched late in February and has been making rounds on social media with their promising 38-piece launch that they have so fittingly called the Lucky Beauty Charms.
Their first release consists of powder foundations, serum concealers, pressed highlighters, blush and lip creams, dewy lip stains, and - in true Andrea fashion - a brow grip. Happy to see that even with this initial launch, they had a wider range of Filipino skin tones in mind with their base products.

Next up is a 25-piece Summer Collection that took the local beauty community by surprise with its range and intentionality! Fulfilling the need for cool toned contour shades and highlighters that go beyond gold and champagne are just a few of the gems in this treasure trove of a release!
With seven liquor themed lip balms, five bronzer shades, four contour shades, eight liquid highlighters, and the Brow Lift - best believe I am summer ready with these!

Lightweight, blurring, and transfer-proof is what the latest addition to Vice Cosmetics’ lippie catalogue has to offer. With its soft blur technology that comes in seven everyday shades, the Soft Veil Tint is here to be your go-to velvet matte for a long-lasting pout.

Making a comeback are the BLK bullet lipsticks in the form of the Pillow Mattes. With 8 wearable shades, this product offers a long-wearing, fragrance-free, and pillowy formula that leans more to velvet than full matte that leaves a flattering stain as the formula fades.

Another one for the bullet lipstick lovers - here is a 21-shade launch that comes in three finishes! With the True Matte, True Velvet, and True Satin, there is definitely something for everyone. This also comes with a push and release component that also comes with a mirror for easy retouches.
