Posh Skin Co. signs Niana Guerrero
POSH SKIN CO. Has signed on Gen Z singer, dancer, and influencer Niana Guerrero as its first brand ambassador. The partnership comes on the heels of Posh Skin Co.’s launch at Watsons last December. All four signature designs of the brand’s pimple patches are now available in 100 select Watsons stores, with plans to expand to all 800+ Watsons outlets nationwide by the end of 2025. Posh Skin launched its first fashionable pimple patches online in mid-November. After Ms. Guerrero discovered the patches and shared a dance on TikTok while wearing them, the brand reached out and connected with her. The pimple patches combine creative designs with blemish-taming ingredients, such as salicylic acid, hydrocolloid, tea tree oil, and aloe vera. Ms. Guerrero’s pimple patch collaboration with Posh Skin is slated to launch later this year. The pimple patches are now available for P199 on Shopee, Lazada, Tiktok Shop, and the official Posh Skin Co. website, and in select Watsons stores nationwide.

Collaboration set between barenbliss and ELINAILS
THE KOREAN clean beauty brand barenbliss, merges makeup and nail design in a collaboration with nail artist Elina Jung (better known as ELINAILS). The partnership celebrates the possibilities of its newest additions to the Dream Chaser Quad Eyeshadow palette – Pink Romance and Moonlight Fantasy. For this collaboration, Ms. Jung uses the newest eyeshadow palettes from barenbliss as a medium for creating her intricate nail designs. Translating barenbliss’ pink, playful, and girly aesthetic into her edgier world of nail art was no small feat said Ms. Jung. “I’m not really the girly type, but that’s what made this collaboration so exciting — it pushed me to adapt and discover something new.” From glittering ombre looks to abstract 3D elements, the designs embody the newest Dream Chaser palettes. Pink Romance, with its soft, warm tones, offers a balance for romantic, glowing looks. Moonlight Fantasy, with its cool-toned hues, provides dreamy, ethereal vibes. The Dream Chaser Quad Eyeshadow palettes in Pink Romance and Moonlight Fantasy are now available at the barenbliss TikTok Shop, Shopee, Lazada, and Watsons stores nationwide.
