Lo and behold, another big month in beauty. Like September is to fashion, October is widely recognized as beauty month—therefore it only makes sense that the incoming weeks are filled with new product drops and breakthroughs in the worlds of skincare, makeup and the rest of the beauty realm. Ahead, we give you a run down of some of October's most exciting beauty-related news:

Shiseido officially opened its doors to the Philippine market in late September––an announcement that may prove puzzling to some. Chances are you’ve seen Shiseido products being sold in department store counters and online prior to the local launch, so what gives?
The establishment of Shiseido Philippines Corporation signals the start of many exciting shifts, the biggest being the concentrated efforts to expand the brands under Shiseido’s corporate umbrella in the Philippines. That’s right, it’s not just about the brand Shiseido itself. This move means big things for NARS, Laura Mercier, Senka and fragrances like Dolce & Gabbana, Elie Saab, Issey Miyake and Narciso Rodriguez. Sounds like plenty of new products to love, so we’re weighing in with our picks:

The phrase “perfect timing” has never been so apt. Just before the thought of holiday gifting can start stressing us out, Lush is swooping in to save the day. Already a go-to for Christmas present shopping, Lush makes dealing with our holiday gift lists even easier with the launch of their website where, yes, you can shop and ship to your heart’s delight. In the absence of the ultra-fragrant sniffables that we get to experience when visiting the brick-and-mortar Lush stores, the website instead serves up equally aromatic descriptions for every product to give you an idea of what your nostrils might be missing out on. There’s a run-down of the star ingredients in each product, too.
Equally as exciting? The selection of online-only bath bombs, perfumes and oils, all just a single click of a Check Out button away from earning a spot on your beauty counter.

If there's anything more stressful than the holiday stress, it's getting a pimple the day before an important event, like a big-client meeting or your tenth high school/ college reunion. You don't want to pop that zit, but you will need a fast and effective solution to keep it at bay. Consider Céleteque's Acne Spot Corrector Gel your answered prayer or even a Christmas miracle by the skincare gods. Formulated with Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) and with a clear, no-show formula, this acne solution promises clear (or clearer) skin the morning after.
Céleteque's Acne Spot Corrector Gel is available in all drugstores and supermarkets nationwide, starting at P169.
