In contrast to January, which felt like forever, February flew by so fast. With everything that has happened, whether it’s half-terms or hustling a 9-5, one thing remained non-negotiable for us all—feeling good and looking good. Despite the challenges, we stood firm in our commitment to self-care and self-love.
As February bids us farewell, the NYLON Manila team has rounded up the beauty buys that stood as steadfast companions through it all. Lip liners, sunscreen, and an array of makeup and skincare essentials—this selection is a beautiful blend of must-haves that you will want to try for yourself.
