GRWM Cosmetics Mega Collection
GRWM Cosmetics celebrated its second anniversary with its biggest release to date. The Mega Collection features 126 carefully curated and meticulously handpicked products that unravel a new makeup experience for its fans. Its range includes standouts like The Radiant Skin Luminous Foundation, All About That Base Makeup Prep Squad, and The Shade Shifters. Elsewhere, the brand expanded its lineup of The Powder Rush, Quad Goals, and Life-Proof Fixing Spray.
Issy & Co. Cosmetics Hydragloss
Issy & Co. Cosmetics has cracked the code to achieving the coveted juicy lips with its hydrating lip treatment. Hydragloss received a major update with an improved formula featuring a high concentration of Shea Butter and Vitamin E. The results? A lip gloss that noticeably plumps and protects. The range also features six flattering shades, but standouts include Loveboat, a rosy tan; Off Duty, a creamy mauve; and Knockout, a punchy magenta.
Happy Skin Second Skin Serum Cushion Blush
Happy Skin Cosmetics made history with the release of the first-ever local cushion blush in the country. True to its serum-based formula, the new blush entry goes on like a silky serum that delivers a healthy dose of moisture to the skin. It also leaves a soft watercolor finish that nabs a naturally fresh flush of color to instantly brighten one’s features. The lineup arrives in five wearable shades: Mood, Daze, Poppy, Dream, and Pinch.
BLK Cosmetics Airy Matte Cushion Foundation
Of course, BLK Cosmetics’ cushion entry can’t be left unmentioned. The Airy Matte Cushion Foundation is introduced as the brand’s answer to achieving a flawless matte finish. It’s buildable, long-wearing, and sweatproof. At the same time, it is also formulated to blur pores, cover redness, and hide imperfections. The collection comes in six skin-perfecting shades that fit anyone from fair to deep skin colors.
Careline Graph-Ink Eyeliner
Careline finally expanded its cult-favorite eyeliner collection with two new exciting iterations. Like its preceding version, The Graph-Ink Eyeliner Matte comes with an easy-to-draw tip, but this time, it features a bold pigment with zero shine. Another noteworthy release is The Graph-Ink Eyeliner Extreme. It comes with a bigger pen that is more favorable for creating thick decorative lines or filling-in negative spaces. To say the least, it’s one of the best ways to celebrate an anniversary.
