The event featured the highly anticipated return of its cult-favorite product, Velvetint. We were among the guests at the special pop-up event, Colourette Café: Serving Since 2015, where attendees—affectionately called Peaches—immersed themselves in a space blending nostalgia and indulgence. We spent the day swatching shades of the reinvented Velvetint, chatting with fellow beauty enthusiasts, and raising a glass (of cafe drinks) to the brand&#x27;s origins. The celebration, which featured interactive activities like a photobooth and a gacha station, was graced by founder and CEO Nina Ellaine Dizon, who led the community in celebrating ten years of success.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761638889795SnapInsta.to_565346752_18518462974067440_7218727559157273062_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><p>The &quot;Colourette Café&quot; concept was designed to be an immersive, sensorial playground that honored the brand&#x27;s journey since its humble beginnings in Pampanga in 2015. Every detail—from the spread of luscious treats to the cozy cafe ambiance—was curated to evoke sweet nostalgia, mirroring the comforting, smooth texture of the reinvented Velvetint. Guests got a first look and first swipe of the new Velvetint, which promises an Instant Blur Effect and a Lasting Tint in a velvet-comfort formula.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:655px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761638943954SnapInsta.to_566834041_18518462983067440_7210582080637869545_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Colourette Velvetint</span></span></span></div><p>CEO Nina Ellaine Dizon highlighted that the return of the Velvetint—now infused with hydrating Squalane and Jojoba Seed Oil—perfectly symbolizes the brand&#x27;s evolution: honoring a beloved classic while innovating for the future. The event was not just a launch but a full-circle moment, celebrating how a small, passionate dream grew into a movement that champions Filipina beauty in all its tones and textures. As Colourette steps into its next decade, the brand remains committed to its steadfast promise: pushing boundaries with purpose-driven products and empowering its community. <strong><em>—Sophia Ancheta</em></strong><strong></strong><br/></p>
