Colourette Eye Gotchu Collection

Last December 10th, local beauty brand Colourette launched the Eye Gotchu Collection–a set of “lifeproof everyday eye essentials made to slay and stay.” A mascara, brow laminating mascara, gel and liquid eyeliners, brow pen, and eye palettes constitute the collection. Everything you need to create a solid eye look is here!

Colourette Lash Love Lifeproof Mascara (P399) promises to deliver it all: length, volume, and lift with waterproof, smudgeproof, and long-lasting wear. The curved wand is designed specially for Asian eyes. Infused with lash-strenghtening Keratin and Vitamin E, it also cares for your lashes. Indeed, Lash Love is the perfect name for it!

Achieve any brow look with the brow tandem from Colourette’s Eye Gotchu collection. Tame your brows with Brow Boss 24/7 Sculpting Gel (P399). The unique double-ended applicator features a spoolie, comb, and brush, allowing for multiple brow looks. Achieve the look you’re going for: a natural lift, laminated look, or fluffy brows; and lock it in place all day and all night. The Brow Bestie Everyday Brow Pencil (P349) features a triangular edge that makes shaping and filling in your brows a breeze. A convenient spoolie is at the other end. It comes in two (2) shades: Espresso (for dark brown or black hair) and Mocha (for light brown or bleached hair).

As for eyeliner, Colourette has definitely gotchu with both liquid and gel formulas. The Pen Pal  Budgeproof Gel Eyeliner (P299) promises pigmented color that lasts all day. Whether you’re looking to line, wing, or tightline your eyes, this gel eyeliner can do it all. It comes in two (2) colors: Coal (black) and Buff (nude).  If you prefer a liquid liner with a precise brush tip, the Pen Pal Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner (P349) just might be for you. It comes in two (2) colors: Dawn (true brown) and Midnight (super black).

Last but definitely not least, meet the BFF Eyeshadow Palette (P399). Each is an all-in-one eye palette with a primer and four (4) curated eyeshadow colors. It comes in four (4) colorways: Peach Paradise (lively and warm peach shades), Berry Wish (gorgeous and playful pinks), Coco Dreams (classic and cozy browns and nudes), and Coffee Bliss (versatile everyday mattes).

NARS Afterglow Sheer Hydrating Lip Oil

Fans of NARS Afterglow, rejoice! A new formulation joins the party: the new NARS Afterglow Sheer Hydrating Lip Oil ($28). Described as “A sensorial gel-oil gloss with long-lasting hydration and sheer shine,” it definitely sounds like a cross between a lip gloss and a lip oil. Infused with Omegas 3 and 6, Vitamins A and E, raspberry seed oil, and pomegranate extract, it also delivers intense nourishment to your lips.

New Sabrina Carpenter Fragrance: Me Espresso

Sabrina Carpenter releases a new fragrance in her Sweet Tooth fragrance lineup: Me Espresso ($59.99). Described to be “as addictive as Espresso,” the fragrance blends gourmand Cocoa Powder and Espresso Bean with floral Night-Blooming Jasmine and Vanilla Orchid. Notes of Buttery Biscotti, Caramel Drizzle, and Sugared Amber add warmth and sweetness to the scent.

Sabrina Carpenter has already made a name for herself as a singer, songwriter, actress, and performer, and now aims to make an impression with her own brand of fragrances. Inspired by “sophisticated scents with a touch of sweetness,” Me Espresso is her fourth release. Sweet Tooth, Caramel Dream, and Cherry Baby were released in 2022, 2023, and early 2024 respectively.
