Hi, there! Happy New Year! Still testing, trying, and looking for the best skincare and makeup finds? Same. And I will probably always be looking for the best. I tried some great beauty products last year and here are some of them including my new go-to facial wash: the Oxecure Gentle Cleanser.
2024 Beauty Favorites List
This is actually Part 2 of my post a few months ago on Filipino Beauty Products. But this time, I included a few brands from abroad. Some bought online, some from pasalubong.
Here my list of 2024 Beauty Favorites:
- Oxecure pH5.5 Gentle Cleanser,
- Canmake Airy Poreless Base,
- Carmex Daily Care,
- Strokes Brow Sculptor Duo, and
- Dazzle Me Get a Grip Makeup Setting Spray Dewy Fix.
Oxecure Gentle Cleanser
First, we super love the Oxecure pH5.5 Gentle Cleanser.
I have previously shared about my favorite Oxecure Anti-Acne products. But this is my first time to recommend the Oxecure Gentle Cleanser. I have been looking for a good gentle cleanser for my aging, dry skin. And this suited my skin well. I use it at least twice a day and it makes my face clean, refreshed, and moisturized. But not greasy.
And it is one of the few cleansers that have kept my skin acne free. Used this for a couple of months and I barely had any acne breakouts. Despite going out often, wearing makeup, and being exposed to the elements.This 2025, this will continue to be my go-to daily facial cleanser.

Carmex Lip Balm
I have been using Carmex Lip Balm on and off for years. But lately, it has been the only lip balm I am using. Specifically, I am currently use the Carmex Cherry in Squeeze Tube. I don’t even remember where I bought it. And I have been loving it. It is moisturizing but not too greasy. Personally, I prefer the Strawberry Lip Balm. Maybe I’ll buy that next time.

Canmake Poreless Airy Base
My next recommendation is Canmake Tokyo Poreless Airy Base.
I saw this on Tiktok and it just so happened my cousins were in Japan so I asked them to buy some Canmake products for me. This is the base I use every time I go out. I apply the base after I apply sunscreen or sunblock. Just a very little amount is needed and I apply on my nose, forehead, and on my cheeks. It makes my skin feel flawless and yes, look poreless. On days when I use Issy Skin Tint, the base also makes my skin tint look better and last longer. And on days I don’t use skin tint, it also works well with most products I apply on my cheeks.
Good thing Canmake Tokyo is now available via their Shopee Store.

Strokes Brow Sculptor Duo
After reading and watching so many recommendations of the Strokes Brow products, I finally got myself a few. And my favorite is the Strokes Brow Sculptor Duo.
It has a Microfine Brow Pencil on one end and a Styler (brow brush) on the other end. I was worried that the microfine pencil would be fragile and difficult to use but it’s actually easy to use. And having a styler brush make it convenient to use, whether I’m just at home or applying or retouching my brows somewhere else.

Dazzle Me Get a Grip Makeup Setting Spray
I got a bundle of Dazzle Me products to try during a sale event. And among everything I tried, the Get a Grip Setting Spray is the one I liked most.
I have been looking for a good setting spray with a dewy finish. Glad that I tried this setting spray because it works well on my skin and my current skincare and makeup routine. It is also affordable and always on sale.
