Part skincare, part makeup. Anyone else care to join the party?
Now that we’re in Lockdown Season 2, which is literally a re-run of Season 1, most of us may be hoarding and stocking up on essential products while some are doubling down. This also applies to being more careful in the face department. Skincare and makeup are two different things, and each have different needs. Meaning, it’s twice the ₱₱₱, since it’s like buying two expansion packs. But thanks to technology, we have these skincare and makeup hybrids that have been our secret weapon.

Well, there’s a whole lot of aloe vera, niacinamide, and allantoin that keeps us constantly flushed.
