When the Filipino beauty scene was just as obsessed with matte lips like everyone else in 2015, a small Pampanga-born brand began its journey of redefining what Filipina beauty could look like. Ten years later, Colourette marks its first decade of empowering real and Filipina beauty with a full-circle moment: the comeback of its cult-favorite Velvetint.

What started as founder Nina Ellaine Dizon’s one-woman dream has grown into a movement championing authentic, inclusive, and proudly Filipina beauty. From hand-packing products in Pampanga to leading a community of over 60,000 Peaches, Colourette continues to thrive on the values of connection and representation.
“Velvetint is part of our origin story,” shared Dizon. “It reminds us how far we’ve come — from hand-packing products in Pampanga to formulating and reformulating well-loved products and now leading a community that celebrates owning your beauty, unapologetically and authentically.”
The Comeback of an Icon: the Velvetint

Loved for its cloud-like texture and soft pigment, the Velvetint returns now better than ever — delivering a blurred, soft-focus lip look in a single swipe. Launching this Oct. 19, 2025, the updated version offers:
Instant Blur Effect: smooths lips for that dreamy, cloud-like finish.
Lasting Tint: locks in color that stays from day to night.
Velvet Comfort: a weightless, hydrating texture perfect for all-day wear.
It’s infused with squalane, jojoba seed oil, and microalgae extract — a trio that keeps the lips nourished, hydrated, and protected. The Velvetint comes in 10 flattering shades that are made for every Filipina skin tone.
Bare Blossom (Soft Blush)
Birthday Cake (Muted Brick)
Crushed Rose (Rich Red)
Midnight Petal (Dark Berry)
Misty Mauve (Soft Plum)
Peach Serenade (Warm Salmon)
Spring Bloom (Sweet Pink)
Sunset Tea (Soft Brown Coral)
Truffle Kiss (Cool Chocolate)

Together, these Colourette icons will revisit their most loved campaigns while welcoming Velvetint’s grand comeback in true Colourette fashion: confident, playful, and heartfelt.
Colourette Café: Serving Since 2015
The celebration continues at the Colourette Café: Serving Since 2015, an immersive, sensorial playground where beauty meets flavor and nostalgia. Peaches are invited to join in this sweet, nostalgic celebration, and can expect interactive installations, a spread of indulgent treats, a first look and swipe of the new Velvetint, and limited-edition freebies and exclusive merch that feels just as good as your favorite shade of lipstick.

Fifty years ago, the Philippines hosted a fight so brutal, so poetic, and so globally resonant that it was etched into boxing history as The Thrilla in Manila.
Now, half a century later, the echoes of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier’s legendary war return, not as a reenactment, but as a revival of spirit, sweat, and legacy. Thrilla in Manila 2 is set to ignite the Smart Araneta Coliseum on October 29, bringing a new generation of fighters into the ring where legends once bled.
Website/ Ticketnet
The event is spearheaded by Manny Pacquiao’s MP Promotions, in partnership with IBA Pro. Headlining the card is Melvin Jerusalem, the reigning WBC Minimumweight World Champion, who will defend his title against South Africa’s Siyakholwa Kuse. But the emotional spotlight is the appearance of Nico Ali Walsh, grandson of Muhammad Ali, stepping into the same arena where his grandfather fought the fight of his life.
The original 1975 bout between Ali and Frazier was the third and final clash in their storied rivalry. Held in the sweltering heat of Manila, it was a 14-round war of attrition that ended with Frazier’s corner throwing in the towel. Ali later described it as “the closest thing to dying.” That fight didn’t just crown a champion, it defined an era.
Instagram/ Melvin Jerusalem
Thrilla in Manila 2 aims to channel that same intensity, but with a modern twist. The undercard features a mix of rising Filipino talent and international contenders, showcasing the Philippines’ enduring role as a global boxing hub. Pacquiao himself has called the event “a passing of the torch,” hoping to inspire a new generation of fighters and fans alike.
Tickets are priced to welcome everyone: P100 for Lower Box, P75 for Upper Box, and just P50 for General Admission. It’s a rare chance to witness history, again.
Secure your ticket now via Ticketnet and be there when history swings back. For more information, follow IBA.Pro on Instagram.

A wall in Manila just became sacred ground for basketball fans. Last Oct. 3, 2025, Titan, the Philippines’ premier basketball and streetwear retailer, unveiled The Legacy Wall at Titan Fort, the brand’s flagship store, in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
The installation commemorates LeBron James’ 23rd year in the NBA, blending sneaker culture, visual storytelling, and artistry into a living tribute to one of the sport’s most enduring icons.

The launch coincides with the rollout of the Nike LeBron XXIII series, a collection of 23 colorways that will be released gradually until summer 2026. Each drop adds a new layer to The Legacy Wall, transforming it into a dynamic archive of LeBron’s journey from his early days in Cleveland to his championship runs in Miami and Los Angeles.
The first release, LeBron XXIII "Uncharted," celebrates his historic entry into the 40,000-point club, while the upcoming "Miami Twice" colorway pays homage to his back-to-back titles with the Heat. The design features palm tree motifs, reversed Swoosh logos, and a crown emblem as nods to LeBron’s dominance and signature style during his Miami era.

The wall itself is a curated installation by Titan, featuring layered visuals, iconic quotes, and textures that trace LeBron’s journey from prodigy to global icon. Drawing inspiration from the “Forever King Tour” stop in Shanghai, China, the Manila tribute stands as the sole installation of its kind in Southeast Asia, anchoring the regional rollout of the LeBron XXIII series and reflecting the Filipino basketball community’s deep admiration for The King.
The Legacy Wall will remain through Summer 2026 at Titan Fort, evolving with each sneaker drop. It’s a living archive of greatness, resilience, and the kind of leadership that transcends sport.
To witness the legacy up close, visit Titan Fort at Bonifacio High Street, BGC, Taguig, Metro Manila. Check out the brand’s official website, and follow their Instagram and Facebook for exclusive drops and updates.
