October brings a sea of pink, a colour that carries both softness and strength. While it serves as a reminder of awareness and resilience, it also continues to inspire the world of beauty.
From rosy lipsticks to blush-toned skincare, these products channel the hue’s enduring charm without losing its quiet significance.

It also has Cushioning Ceramides, which hydrate your lips all day and night, restoring the barrier and making them super soft and smooth.
Along with this, botanical butters give instant and long-lasting nourishment to the lips, locking in all the amazing ingredients.
