Beauty Roundup: Romand Gift Bar, EB Sheer Serum Tinted Lip Balm, Teviant Star Balm, and Wet n Wild x Hello Kitty
As we step into November, we definitely feel the holidays descending upon us! Thankfully, some beauty brands are helping to make our Christmas shopping easier, like K-beauty brand Romand (Rom&nd), who have set up a few “Gift Bars” in the Metro! Let’s also look at some sparkly new releases that would make great stocking stuffers: Ever Bilena’s Sheer Serum Tinted Lip Balm, Teviant’s new Star Balm, and a collaboration between Wet n Wild and Sanrio’s Hello Kitty.

Romand Gift Bar
Step up your beauty gift-giving this year by visiting a Romand Gift Bar, where you can get personalized, ready-to-gift treats. There are currently three (3) popup locations: SM Beauty Makati, Watsons SM Megamall, and Watsons SM Mall of Asia.

What exclusive items can you get from the Gift Bars? You can’t go wrong with personalized lippies, for one. Just pick any Romand lip product, and they can add your name of choice on the body. Or, you might like to add a whimsical touch to your Romand tints: how about a cute holiday Tint Hat for your lippie?

There are also several makeup bundles available for fuss-free gifting, all bundled up in cute Romand gift bags, polished off with a cute ribbon bow. Do check them out at the Romand Gift Bar nearest you!

Ever Bilena Sheer Serum Tinted Lip Balm
The tinted lip balm is having a moment! Ever Bilena’s newest release confirms that. Meet the Sheer Serum Tinted Lip Balm (P245), a sheerer version of the crowd favorite EB Serum Tinted Lip Balm. It’s formulated with 5 ingredients your lips will surely love: Collagen, Castor Seed Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Shea Butter, and Vitamin E.

It comes in six (6) wearable shades: Tutu (color-changing), Nectarine (peach), Marsala (soft almond pink), Rhubarb (berry rose), Goji (neutral red), and Spiced (rosy brown). Tinted lip balm lovers, this is a must try! At only P245 each, these would make great gifts for your besties!

Teviant Star Balm
Yes, Albert Kurniawan and Heart Evangelista are together again! This time, it’s for Teviant’s newest release, the Star Balm (P1,250), a “glow lux body balm.” Infused with Olive Squalane, Jojoba Seed Oil, Ternifolia Seed Oil, and Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, it will definitely nourish and moisturize your skin. Your skin will also instantly glow thanks to the non-plastic shimmer beads in the formula!

It comes in two (2) shades: Champagne and Cristal. Since the formula is sheer, both shades will look great across all skin tones; with Champagne leaving a more subtle glow than the brightening Cristal. To be honest, I’m very curious about this! As someone with dry skin who hates sticky lotions, this appeals to me on so many levels.

The best part: this is only the first of a series of launches in honor of Teviant’s birthday celebration! Can you guess what the other items are? I guess we’ll be seeing more of the brand in future editions of our BNR!

Wet n Wild x Hello Kitty
Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary celebration levels up in collaboration with Wet n Wild! They definitely did not hold back, as the full collection includes face, eye, and lip makeup, accessories, and makeup tools. You can even get a full PR Box as a whole set! I can’t with the cuteness!

For the ultimate Hello Kitty fan, the PR Box ($85) just might be a must-have. Everything you need is in a cute limited-edition Hello Kitty tin case! And because they’re all Wet n Wild products, you know they will be a pleasure to actually use (not just display), as well.
And that’s it for this week’s roundup of beauty news! I hope I was able to help you narrow down your holiday gifting options. Which ones caught your eye? See you on the next BNR!
