BLK Cosmetics Soft Blur Blush – Bianca Lao, Brand Associate
The BLK Cosmetics Soft Blur Blush may have just dropped last week, but it’s already secured its spot as my must-have for September! The formula is a dream—soft, blendable, and gives you that natural, blurred flush that everyone’s after. It’s lightweight yet buildable, perfect for those days when you want to add just the right amount of color to your cheeks.
Cúco Pure Embrace Hydrating Lip Tint – Gelo Quijencio, Multimedia Artist
If you’re like me and can’t go a day without a good lip tint, Cúco’s Pure Embrace Hydrating Lip Tint might just be your new bestie. It’s that perfect middle ground between hydration and a pop of color—something we daily lip tint users really need. No more flaky lips halfway through the day, just a smooth and nourished feel with a color selection that hits just right for my skin tone.
d’Alba First Serum Spray – Nikki Balboa, Head of Operations
The d’Alba First Serum Spray is like a little burst of freshness whenever you need it! It’s light, refreshing, and leaves your skin looking instantly brighter, which is perfect for a quick pick-me-up throughout the day.
Gillette Revitalizing After Shave Splash – Raf Bautista, Managing Editor
You can’t go wrong with a classic. This is my favorite after shave as it always leave a cool and fresh feeling on my skin after every shave. And because a small dose goes a long way, one bottle can last me months.
Happy Skin Off Duty Seamless Perfecting Liquid Foundation – Precy Tan, Copywriter
The Happy Skin Off Duty Seamless Perfecting Liquid Foundation is exactly what I’ve been searching for—something fast, lightweight, and still offers that perfect coverage. The formula is runny in the best way possible, making it super easy to blend, and it feels like nothing on your skin. It’s my go-to for those moody days when you don’t know if it’ll be rainy or sunny, but either way, it’s got me covered (literally).
Kiko Milano Unlimited Double Touch – Christine Roska, Art Intern
Kiko Milano’s Unlimited Double Touch is truly that girl when it comes to long-lasting lip color. If you’re tired of reapplying throughout the day, this two-step liquid lipstick has got your back. The color locks in with the first swipe and then the gloss adds that extra shine—without feeling sticky or heavy. It’s like a power combo for your lips that won’t budge even after a full day (or night) out.
Palmolive Naturals Intensive Moisture Shampoo – Maggie Batacan, Editor-in-Chief
I used to be a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner non-believer like majority of people seem to be. But when I was going through an extremely extended rough patch emotionally and mentally, I decided to give it a try and it actually works! I still use a separate conditioner sometimes when I use hot tools or when my hair is feeling a little drier than normal, but, generally speaking, this shampoo gets the job done. My hair feels very clean and very soft. I also have a very greasy scalp that requires me to shampoo every single day, but with this shampoo the oils seem to be kept at bay for much longer, which is really saying something.
Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil – Alannah Mitra, Multimedia Artist
The Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil is an absolute must-have in any skincare routine, whether you’re prepping for a flawless makeup look or winding down after a long day. It’s lightweight yet super effective at clearing away dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and ready for whatever comes next in your beauty routine.
