Back by popular demand, the Lip Mallow Mousse is finally making its returnโright in time for Valentine’s Day. Featuring five shades of their fan-favorite coffee-themed collection, these velvety matte mousses still boast (or brew) the air-whipped formula we all adored.
As if that wasn’t enough for every girly girl, the local beauty brand also expanded its Lip Mallow Tints. This time around, they’re all about pastries with five shades that hit the sweet spot. Now, if you’re wondering what the better purchase is, the Lip Mallow Mousses are perfect for achieving pillow-plush looking lips, while the Lip Mallow Tints are transfer-free, locking onto lips with a matte stain.
NATURALE Get Glossed
Regardless of the glam you’re going for, you can always count on the best gloss to complete your perfect pout. Quick note: no matter what curveball life throws at us, we cannot be caught slippin’ with crusty lips (which is precisely why we’ve always got one on standbyโwhether in our hands or tucked away in our purses).
Now, quench those lip thirsts with NATURALE Get Glossed. With an array of 16 shades, all at prices that won’t break the bank, it’s high time to spoil yourself with the prettiest pinks, rosiest reds, and sultry nudes you’ve been daydreaming about. They’re highly underrated but deserving of all the hypeโespecially if you’re on the lookout for a top-notch local lip gloss.
Skintific Clay Mask
Whether your skin is throwing a crusty, dusty, or shiny party, a clay mask is hands-down one of the best treatments to help refine and rebalance it. But here’s the scoop โ not all clays (or clay masks) are cut from the same skincare cloth. It’s crucial to pick a formulation that aligns with your skin needs. Fear not because Skintific has your back with two fuss-free wash-off masks, each tuned into specific skin concerns.
Tailored specifically for acne-prone skin, the Mugwort Mask is a powerhouse infused with active ingredients like Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid, and Centella. This powerhouse trio works wonders by regulating oil and sebum production, clearing out pores, and soothing the skin.
On another skincare front, the Volcano Clay Mask offers a rejuvenating skin reset with a carefully curated blend of potent ingredients. Enriched with Glycolic Acids and Probiotics, it not only maintains the skin barrier but also promotes regeneration. Coming in as a skincare session in a stick, no wonder these travel-friendly masks are trending on Tiktok.
