<div><strong>Lucky Beauty and Paulash Come Together For a Collaboration</strong></div><p>A partnership written in the stars, beloved Filipino brands Lucky Beauty and Paulash have come together for what we&rsquo;re predicting to be one of the most remembered F-Beauty collaborations of the year. From the minds of Andrea Brilliantes and Pau del Rio come two new products: Lucky Lashes (a six-piece collection of curated pre-glued cluster lashes that come in natural and glam styles) and Multiuse Eyeshadow Wands (versatile sticks that come in matte and shimmer finishes). The launch of the collection was celebrated through intimate makeup masterclass sessions with lucky friends, headed by pro makeup artist Mizz Raffy, with muses Kylie Celebre and Drew Baysa. <em>Shop <a href="https://shopee.ph/product/936406675/52414444412?gads_t_sig=gqRjZGVrxHCFomtpsTE0MjUxOnRzc19zZGtfa2V5omt20QACpGFsZ2_SAAAAZKNkZWvAomN0xEAAAAAMCDZ1QISG3Y9eQ8yPVgAOiad7g2PqyaqkWO_9nGG8rv2GeSvTKVy0YH9Uq_tAMSkaB8ROm0FmD1_y4Fc6qmNpcGhlcnRleHTEbgAAAAxv7IvQvuM8mSP3zz4NOdYIRsmChVy9gQi9BDFLHZbvun0sVlBadbGnEmaw9ntmYI0Fui3_oHS6v_7pk3lzcnM_nEZNuP9_HNpqNgTptOvi0RJ2DjF0fOTLo3suTfqdI0J_4xG80hMxfHAC&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23984624127&gbraid=0AAAAADPpU9CGgYpZvLGOQTYQRksJ74mbC&gclid=CjwKCAjwwfnUBhAtEiwAfQpAYp9meEKZcVCl3mSLc9SoIjIWsb0eOCYPYwoICHXN8QcCyVE5TV52-xoC-ekQAvD_BwE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</em></p><div><br></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width: 700px; display: block;" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1788336679561SnapInsta.to_770920315_18065198411753988_453757643378802124_n.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @luckybeautyinc</span></span></span></div><div><strong>ISSY Opens Flagship Store with MATTER by Issy</strong></div><p>As a matter of fact, ISSY is not slowing down anytime soon.

Besides housing their beauty line, the space also has their version of a kitchen, where you can find their Experiments: a rotation of specially crafted food and drink selections you can enjoy while shopping.</p><div><br></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width: 700px; display: block;" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1788775105050MATTER by Issy.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"><span class="fr-inner">MATTER by Issy</span></span></span></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><em>Matter by ISSY is located at 149 Legaspi Street, Makati.
