Vans launches the Divine Energy Collection
This month, Vans is championing creative expression — no matter the gender, gender identity, race, or class. The new Divine Energy collection features Vans signatures adorned with patchwork designs reflecting the brand’s International Women’s Day advocacy of inclusion. 2.5% of every sale from the collection will be donated to the Tides Foundation.
For footwear, the patchwork designs represent communities coming together, and are featured on the Old Skool (₱5,498) and Classic Slip-On (₱4,498). The Divine Energy Sk8-Hi comes in black (men’s sizes at ₱6,998) and Lavender (kids sizes at ₱3,498) and features the words “lover, partner, friend, child, advocate, and teammate.” A key feature in this design is the inclusion of both the non-binary and female symbols on the shoe’s leather upper.
The collection is available at select Vans stores nationwide. For more information, visit @vansphilippines on Instagram.

Clocheflame releases Dream Filter
Despite being a well-loved base product in the Philippine market, pressed powder isn’t as popular an option these days as loose setting powders and liquid foundation. Homegrown, women-owned beauty brand Clocheflame is updating the beauty staple with Dream Filter, a pressed setting powder made with grapeseed oil and other skin-loving ingredients meant to leave a silky and glowy finish. The SPF 15 product promises to blur lines, subtly color-correct and highlight features, and has been tested to work for sensitive skin.
The Clocheflame Dream Filter is available via Lazada, Shopee, and Zalora.
Colourette releases new shades for their Mini Colourtints
Local beauty brand Colourette Cosmetics recently released five new shades in their Mini Colourtint collection: Rosa (muted wine), Isla (neutral nude), Maddie (rosy plum), Lola (rosy coral), Maya (light cinnamon brown). Sold at ₱149 each, the Colourtints are multi-use oil-based tints that can be blended on the lips, cheeks, and eyes, made to be suitable for Filipina skin tones. The five new shades are part of the Mini Colourtints’ existing 10 shades — and all 15 colors are compact versions of existing full-sized Colourtints.
The Colourette Cosmetics Mini Colourtints are available online via Lazada and Shopee.
