Beauty roundup: From 'wearable' lippies to mini body balms—here are some fresh drops this August
The world of beauty is always changing, and we know it can be tough to keep up. That's why we're here to pinpoint the latest and greatest for you.
This month, we've got a little something for everyone. From new concealers and brighteners that literally light up the face, to body shimmers that give you that all-over glow, and even lip products so stylish they double as "wearable" accessories.
Plus, we're seeing an influx of science-backed skincare that proves looking good can go hand-in-hand with taking good care of your skin.
Check them out below.
Issy Under-Eye Products
We all have those days when a good night's sleep just isn't enough to hide tired, dark circles, and Issy has new under-eye products to help just that.
Start with the Issy Under-Eye Brightening Fluid (P399), a lightweight targeted brightener that visibly reduces puffiness and discoloration with sheer, natural-looking coverage for everyday use. Available in five shades: Fair Peach, Light Peach, Medium Peach, Tan Peach, and Deep Peach.
Pair it with the Issy Under-Eye Brightening Powder (P549), a tinted setting powder that lifts and softens the under-eye area. Its color-correcting pigments subtly neutralize dark circles for a soft-focus finish that lasts all day, with no dryness or creasing. It is available in Pink, Yellow, and Peach.
BYS Lip Wearables
These days, beauty products are as much an accessory as they are a part of your routine. With their cute packaging, they're perfect for displaying on your bag or carrying with you wherever you go.
The BYS Wearables are an on-the-go lip trio that's as cute as it is effective. The collection includes a Lanolin Ultra Balm (P449) that deeply hydrates, a Plumping Lip Gloss (P399) for an ultra-glossy, pain-free pout, and a Plumping Lip Oil (P449) for a healthy, glassy look without the sticky feel.

From France to the Philippines, Filorga is here.
The brand is known for its scientifically-backed approach, combining the best of aesthetic medicine with luxurious skincare. Filorga’s products, which are formulated with the proprietary NCEF complex, are designed to deliver professional-level results that target the signs of aging and make your skin more radiant, smoother, and firmer.
One of the most notable lines is the Time-Filler, a wrinkle-correcting collection, wherein each product is formulated to target a specific type of wrinkle.
Got a few minutes? The Meso Mask can quickly smooth wrinkles, rehydrate, and revive tired skin for an instant radiance boost.
And finally, the NCEF-Revitalize line, which includes a serum, cream, and sheet mask. It is clinically proven to boost skin tone, firmness, and radiance, offering skin rejuvenation results comparable to revitalizing injections.

Teviant Star Balm Minis
Getting that perfect glow has never been easier! If you love Teviant's Star Balm, you can now take it with you everywhere. The new Star Balm Minis (P795) offer the same iconic formula and sweet scent you adore, but in a travel-friendly size perfect for your bag.
These mini balms are packed with nourishing ingredients like Olive Squalane and Jojoba Seed Oil to moisturize and soothe your skin, while Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection.
New shades—Cristal, Champagne, and Rose—are all available in this on-the-go size so you can achieve quick radiance anytime, anywhere.
Teviant Silk Touch Perfecting Powder
With the weather in the Philippines, it's essential to have a foundation that feels as light as air. The new Teviant Silk Touch Perfecting Powder (P895) is designed to give you a flawless look without feeling heavy, offering a radiant matte finish that controls shine.
It features a powder-to-cream texture and is packed with skincare-loving ingredients like Vitamin E and Amino acids to keep your skin smooth, hydrated, and protected all day long.
Human Nature Calm & Clear Serum
We often think harsh treatments are the only way to fight acne, but in reality, a gentle approach can be just as effective. Supporting your skin's natural barrier can help calm inflammation and create a healthy foundation, making it more resilient against future breakouts. Human Nature's new Calm & Clear Serum (P495) is made for exactly this—it strengthens your skin's barrier, reduces breakouts, and soothes redness with gentle ingredients like Centella Asiatica, Tea Tree Oil, and Niacinamide.
L'Oréal Groupe's #JoinTheRefillMovement
With so much waste in the world, more brands are doing their part to offer consumers ways to reduce their environmental impact.
L'Oréal Groupe has launched its first global campaign, #JoinTheRefillMovement, to encourage consumers to embrace refills. The initiative brings together some of the group's most iconic brands to make it easier for people to find and choose sustainable beauty options. This campaign showcases how small changes, like choosing a refill, can contribute to a more sustainable future.
“As the global beauty leader, we have an opportunity, as well as a responsibility to create more circular solutions and set a new industry standard,” said Ezgi Barcenas, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer at L’Oréal. “Achieving this vision at scale demands more than innovation—it requires intention and action. That is why we are mobilizing our brands, our business partners, and our consumers to make refills the new norm.”
