Lucky Beauty
Many fans have witnessed Andrea Brillantes mature from a charming child star to one of the most influential celebrities in the industry. And now, she takes on a new role as the brain behind Lucky Beauty. The newest contender in the beauty game comprises a set of everyday favorites that are made to be the lucky charm of any beauty collection. Take the Dewy Lip Stain as an example. The formula renders a good wash of color and gloss that works like magic on the lips.
Issy & Co. Lip Bullets
Another remarkable entry includes Issy & Co.’s take on a classic makeup staple. The Lip Bullet collection introduced three categories: True Matte, True Satin, and True Velvet. However, an admirable detail from that line is the range of browns, pinks, and reds that suits any complexion, occasion, and preference. The formula is also housed in bullet packaging with a press-to-release mechanism that comes with a mirror on the side.
GRWM Cosmetics Summer Collection
It appears that GRWM Cosmetics successfully broke the code and delivered one promising brow product. In fact, the brand formulated a dual-sided brow gel that comes with two distinct finishes. One end comes with a laminating formula that is ideal for fan-out feathered brows, while the other features a grooming formula that is perfect for a lifted and effortless finish. To say the least, GRWM Cosmetics is allowing you to create different brow looks in one product.
Alongside, GRWM Cosmetics also introduced three products to its line: Lip Booze, a hydrating balm that delivers color and glow in a swipe; Glow Tint, a multi-use liquid highlighter that renders an illuminating finish; and Shady Sunstick, the brand’s take on a contour and bronzer stick. Elsewhere, the brand also expanded its radiance tiny line with new iterations of its peach corrector.
BLK Cosmetic Pillow Mattes Collection
BLK Cosmetics’ entry for the lipstick category can’t be left unmentioned. An innovative take on the classic lipstick, the brand described the release as a combination of intense color and plush, powder matte finish in one bullet. Moreover, the collection features eight long-wearing and mattifying lipsticks that are made to complement any skin tone. Flirt, for one, is a rosy mauve, while Purr is a warm brick. The lineup also includes Lava, a ruby rose shade that is perfect for the summer season and beyond.
Happy Skin Sun Boosters Collection
Happy Skin continues to front the sun-care game with its newest product line. The Hyaluronic Sun Serum, one of the release’s headliners, is an ultra-lightweight hydrating formula that doubles duty as a powerfully protective sunscreen and an intensely nourishing barrier. Alongside is the Invisible Sun Stick Broad Spectrum, a serum-infused sun stick that soothes, hydrates, and moisturizes the skin.
Ever Bilena Pillow Pop Cream Blush
In recent times, Ever Bilena updated its range of products with the Pillow Pop Cream Blush. An ode to its penchant for skincare and makeup hybrids, the formula comes with Vitamin E to nourish the skin from within. The latest addition also features a creamy and buildable formula that blends seamlessly into the skin. Available in three wearable shades, any of these cream blushes is an ideal pick for anyone who wants easy yet promising products on their routine.
