Fashion 21 Perfect Stick
Product type: Concealer
Features: tea tree oil content, sun protection
Price: Around Php200
Review: “Impressed with Fashion 21 Perfect Stick with Tea Tree Oil. It has a light to medium coverage. What I love about it is that it does not cake at all and won’t make my skin super oily. Plus, it’s long lasting and the price is fair for its market. Works well with the type of skin I have (oily and super sensitive).”- Mai Policarpio, mother and owner, Adam and Eve Organique.
Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks
Product type: Lipstick
Features: long-lasting matte colors

Review: “I’ve tried so many brands and nothing compares to it. Just let it dry properly and you’ve got a smudge-proof product that lasts the whole day, not to mention, it’s very affordable!” – Diana Joy Pua, entrepreneur
Nichido Eyeshadow
Features: Neutral colors suitable for everyday use, smooth texture, and long-lasting effect
Price: Around Php170
Review: “When applied to the eyes, it looks natural although the darkest brown shade is really pigmented. The effect can last for around 8-10 hours without smudging or fading. Perfect for everyday use and budget. And the matte texture when applied is a plus.”- Avelyn Lim, doctor, blogger, and craft enthusiast
