Tint stint
New from blk cosmetics are the Glossy Water Blur Tints (P379), which feature an innovative budge-proof oil-in-water formula that’s lightweight and non-sticky. Upon application, the tints go on like a gloss before melting into a soft and moisturizing tint. There are five shades available - Firecracker, Fig, Toast, Pretzel and Fudge! Which shade do you like the most?

Neo duo
There’s a new foundation from Laneige and it comes in two variants - Matte and Glow - with 10 shades each. The Neo Foundation (P2,100) has an ultralight formula with SPF16 PA++ and is urban-proof. Both variants have a medium-to-full buildable coverage, which can last up to 48 hours. The matte variant has a semi-matte finish and is sweat-resistant, while the glow one has a satin finish and is non-oxidizing. Oh, and would you look at that packaging? So beautiful!

Adore Dior
J’adore Parfum d’eau has just been added to Dior’s fragrance family and it’s the house’s first-ever water-based fragrance. A concentrate of flowers and water, this fragrance is a reinvention of Dior’s J’adore promise since 1999. J’adore Parfum d’eau focuses on Neroli, with sunny notes of jasmine sambac and velvety notes of Chinese magnolia. And the bottle? An opalescent white glass that mirrors the caress of flower petals. By the way, the fragrance is now available at Dior boutiques.

Slam drunk
Yes, the title is not fooling you! Drunk Elephant is coming to the Philippines! This October, the brand will be available online at LOOK At Me and in SM Aura. In case you need a quick refresher, Drunk Elephant avoids the 6 ingredients - essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes and SLS - that are collectively called The Suspicious 6. The brand founded by Tiffany Masterson also introduces the concept of skincare smoothies, which is all about mixing products based on what your skin needs. Ah, I’m so excited! Philippines, welcome to the Drunk life!
Okay, that’s it for this week. See you next time!
