August was pretty hectic and stressful, so we needed pick-me-uppers to make our days better. After weeks of using these products, we learned that these items must be included in our ride-or-die list.
L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Liquid Lipstick in Cowboy
Lately, I've been into terracotta shades, so my heart skipped a beat when I saw this liquid lipstick. Its toasty nude hue complements any eye makeup, and it brightens my complexion, stat. The best part? This can really last on my lips! – Ira, Beauty Editor

Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF15
I didn't think I'd find another foundation I like after my NARS Velvet Matte Foundation stick ran out, but this one didn't disappoint. It feels like I'm not wearing anything, and it doesn't irritate my skin. I'm happy I found another product I can trust! – Ysa, Associate Lifestyle Editor

Foreo UFO
I've only used the UFO four times this month (once a week), and every time my skin felt soft, smooth, and healthy. It felt like I just got a pricey 60-minute facial at the derma, except this one is in the comfort of my own home and only lasts for 90 seconds. Plus, I loved how relaxing and soothing the vibrations were. Its size makes it easy to travel with! – Tisha, Assistant Beauty Editor

Make Up For Ever Artist Lip Blush in 101 Velvet Rose Wood
This new lippie from MUFE is a dream come true. Its unique formula instantly gives me that stained lip look that usually takes a lot of effort to achieve with regular lipsticks. Been wearing it non-stop since I got it a few weeks ago. Really excited to explore other ways to wear it, too! – Retty, Managing Editor

Dermatory Azulene Hypoallergenic Cica Gel Cream
I'm very particular about the creams I use on my face since my skin is super sensitive and dry. I "risked" it, and used this product to see how my face reacted to it. I was surprised that this product was SO GOOD.
It's super lightweight and feels great on my skin. As I don't usually put makeup on every day, I use it as my last step in my skincare routine. It leaves my face looking supple and dewy! LOVE ITTTTT. – Cindy, Entertainment Editor
Dermatory Azulene Hypoallergenic Cica Gel Cream, P1,200, Trinoma
Colourette Colourtint Matte in Kira
I don't normally wear cheek tint or blush since my face is rosy enough to begin with, but I like this product because it gives me the right amount of color to get that natural, no-makeup look. It's very easy to blend, too! All I need is one dab per cheek and I'm good to go. – Lou, Community Coordinator
Colourette Colourtint Matte in Kira, P249, Lazada
bareMinerals Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lipstick in BO$$
This was a gift from a friend who went to the US on vacation. It's one of the few matte lippies I trust and for good reason! My lips are prone to drying even if I apply lip balm, but this is the only matte lippie I've tried that hasn't sucked the moisture out of my lips after a day of use. The shade is a nice nude pink I keep coming back to. – Erika, Editorial Assistant
