Give your lips the TLC they need

Do you often find yourself dealing with dry, chapped lips? Don't worry, we've all been there! But fear not; caring for dry lips is easier than you think. With just an ounce of proactive care and a suitable lip balm within arm’s reach, you can create a powerful lip care routine that will leave even the most stubbornly dried-out mouths looking healthy, soft, and kissable. To address this all-important beauty concern, Ever Bilena Plus launched the new Serum-Infused Tinted Lip Balm to make it easier for your lips and your beauty to shine with just a few glides!

Here’s how you can give your lips the TLC they need:

 

Keep ‘em moist.

First things first: it's essential to keep your lips moist! So the question is, how? It’s simple – start with the basic step of applying a lip balm frequently throughout the day. Not only is it one of the fastest ways to keep dryness at bay but it can also help keep your lips protected against harmful UV rays while giving your lips the hydration and nourishment it deserves. This is the same trick the newest EB Plus Serum-Infused Tinted Lip Balm does! It is formulated with Vitamin E, Shea Butter, and Hyaluronic Acid that help soothe and hydrate your lips while giving a pop of color. 

 

Add a hint of color

A lot of lip balms contain a hint of color, which basically gives your pout a sheer wash. If lipstick isn’t your thing, then a tinted lip balm is enough to give your pout a healthy hue while keeping it moisturized. Good thing this newest serum-infused tinted lip balm also comes in four shades: Latte (light terracotta), Bloom (a mauve-y red), Toast of New York (mauve), and Naked (nude pink) to give your lips a volume boost and colorful glow. 

 

Opt for safe lip care ingredients

With so many options available, it can be challenging to know which ingredients are best for your lip care needs. When choosing the ideal product, it’s vital to review the ingredients to make sure you're getting the best care for your lips. Aside from its powerful ingredients, this Korean-made tinted lip balm is also vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free so you can have a safer and healthier lip care and beauty routine, every time!

 

Who says that a soft, supple pout is no quick fix? Nail your go-to lip care regimen and achieve healthy kissable lips in no time with the newest Ever Bilena Plus Serum-Infused Tinted Lip Balm for only PHP245.00! Available on Ever Bilena’s official Shopee and Lazada stores, Watsons branches nationwide, and all leading department stores nationwide.

The 15 teams will then showcase their demos or prototypes in the dedicated exhibition area at the final event. Among them, selected teams who have already been working with OPPO will also unveil their latest prototypes to the public.

 

On the day of the Global Final Demo Event, the judges of the OPPO Inspiration Challenge will evaluate the 15 proposals based on the four criteria of Feasibility, Innovation and Originality, Long-term Potential, and Social Values. The top 5 proposals will be announced at the event, with each winning team being awarded a prize of US$50,000 along with opportunities to help further develop and commercialize their ideas. OPPO will also announce the two winning proposals of the People’s Choice Award in the “Inspiration for People” and “Inspiration for the Planet” categories.
