What’s in store this month? Seasonal scents, Korean skincare and a new cult favorite
DIP AND DIVE
Does the world need another liquid lipstick? If the formula and color selection is as good as SUNNIES FACE LIP DIP (P345) is, then it’s a definite yes. Described as a whipped mousse, the formulation provides intense color payoff that can be toned down to a stain, making it as versatile as the brand’s beloved Fluffmatte lipsticks; it’s also incredibly creamy, making blending and mixing colors easy peasy. And since this is Sunnies Face we’re talking about, all the colors are immensely flattering to a variety of Filipina skin tones.
PRIME LOCATION
The New York City brownstone is one of the city’s most iconic symbols, a fact that makes the MAYBELLINE Creamy Matte Brick Collection (P299 each) even more appealing. The six shades—named after famously fashionable districts like Madison, Soho, Brooklyn— are a mix of dusky rose, soft mauves, and brooding brick. You’re sure to find a dream MLBB—my lips but better— shade in one of them.
GIRLS AND BOYS
GIVENCHY Live Irrésistable Rosy Crush (P6950/ 75 ml) is a striking rose scent, highlighted by pink and goji berries and rounded out by patchouli-based chypre accord. Rose is a classic note that has become bolder in recent times, and Live Irrésistable Rosy Crush takes this one step further, adding a vivid energy that speaks of modern young women taking charge of their lives. Complementing this is Gentleman Givenchy Cologne (P5850/100 ml), which spices up the classic scent with an "overdose” of citrus—think bergamot, lemon, and petitgrain. It’s a lively, fresh masculine scent for a new generation of men—something many women wouldn’t mind wearing themselves.
