Kiss kiss bang bang
MANILA, Philippines - Can’t make up your mind between using tint or gloss on the lips? Etude’s Aloha Two Two Kiss is tint and gloss in one lip pencil that can give you three different shades, depending on your mood. Use the tint alone for that subtle, just-bitten color, the gloss alone for natural-looking lips, and both tint and gloss for full color and shine on your pucker. Aloha Two Two Kiss’s pencil type tint gets color spread smoothly and evenly, and its coconut and argan oils moisturize and protect the lips from the sun. Choose from four shades — Hawaii Ray Pink, HulaHula Sandy Pink, Tropical Lime Red, and Honolulu Shine Red — and never find yourself in a tint vs. gloss quandary again.
To complement perfectly tinted and glossed lips, open up your eyes with long, voluminous lashes. Etude’s Henna Fix Proof 10 Mascara makes lashes look as if they have been henna tattooed: lush, dark, and long-lasting even after intense activity. This oil-based waterproof mascara has a lash curl fixer effect that lasts all day long without weighing down the lashes. It is also lightweight enough that even with two to three coatings, lashes stay clump-free.
Etude House is located at SM Megamall.
Tressed out
Hair care isn’t just about the strands. There is also the scalp, that stretch of skin that holds everything together. Kérastase understands how both hair and scalp care are vital to lustrous locks, hence its latest product, the first lipo-replenishing masque. The Age Recharge Masque restructures the hair with Vita-Ciment, a vital substance that provides density, softness, and shine to strands. Euphorbia wax extracts and silicones unify and smoothe surface fibers, adding radiance to hair, while vitamin E protects the hair and scalp against free radicals and prevents premature aging. Available in beauty salons nationwide.
Slow and sure
Beauty brands find nutrients for the skin in the weirdest places. Urban skin care brand Tony Moly, for instance, provides intense repair for tired skin with the help of snails—snail mucus, to be exact. Tony Moly’s Intense Repair Live Snail Hydro Gel Mask contains 70 percent snail mucus, a source of chondroitin sulfate that keeps skin hydrated and boosts skin cell restoration. This ingredient is complemented by hyaluronic acid and B-glucan, known for providing intense moisture to the skin. Snail mucus is also an integral part of the Intense Repair Live Snail Cream, an anti-wrinkle whitening cream that comes in two forms: a facial and an eye cream. With its Asiatic pennywort and imperata cylindrica beauvois extracts, this product noticeably restores dehydrated skin into a youthful appearance with just a few applications. In the race to turn back time and look younger, who knew that the plodding snail had the legs to carry skin care far?
Tony Moly is located at SM Megamall, SM Makati, SM North Edsa.
All that glitters
Fake Sleeping is a misnomer for Majolica Majorca’s newest line of products. With the opalescent shades of the eye products, the sleepyhead look will be the last thing you’ll achieve. Opt for a dewy youthful look, one fit for fairy tales, instead, with the Aurora Tear Eyeliner, a transparent gel-based liner that adds a subtle sparkle to your eyes. Apply either to the lashes or the tear line with its fine hair pencil.
Majolica Majorca also introduces its Majoromantica perfume that has a floral and fruity scent. Just a drop of this honey-sweet aphrodisiac on the skin and you’ll be smelling wonderfully feminine the whole day.
Majolica Majorca is available at SM Makati.
