BFF Approved: Our Team's Best of the Best Picks

May 15, 2021

At BFF Manila, we only carry products we absolutely love. As passionate beauty curators, our team has personally tried, tested, and approved every item in the collection.

After a year of mixing and matching our offerings, we're thrilled to share our personal favorites; all of which are backed by innovative and quality formulas, insanely delightful textures, and superior results.

FEMMUE Gypsy Rose Calming Mask

"I am obsessed with the FEMMUE Gypsy Rose Calming Mask. First, the color and texture combined, is a feast for the eyes. Second, the feel on my skin is invigorating. I can feel the Kaolin Clay doing its detox magic on my face.

The best part is letting it dry and stay on my skin around 10 minutes. When I wash it off, my skin feels instantly tighter and smoother. I use this every weekend as my reward for a long week of hustling." - Kat

DR. BARBARA STURM Darker Skin Tones Face Cream Rich

"Since my first use, I've been a fan of Dr. Sturm's Darker Skin Tones Face Cream Rich. This is my go-to all-around cream, especially when my skin's feeling extra dry. After consistently using it, my skin got significantly hydrated, plumper, and glowing. I reduced my acne scars by using this together with FEMMUE Vital C and FEMMUE Rescue Rescue (alternating with Sturm DST Hyaluronic Serum).

I just love how simple yet highly effective the formulation is, especially for Asian skin. It has Dr. Sturm's iconic anti-aging Purslane, infused with Lumicol for an extra glow. Best of all, it's non-irritating and doesn't feel too heavy on my skin." - Darla

CANE + AUSTIN Acne Retexture Pad 5% Glycolic Acid and 2% Salicylic Acid

"I love using the Cane + Austin Acne Retexture Pad 2%/5% because there are just days when I feel super tired and lazy, or too much in a rush to do a complete skincare routine. With the C+A pads, I just have to get one and gently pat all over my face, then finish up with a moisturizer and sunscreen.

So far the results have been promising, as I have oily and acne-prone skin. After I started using this, my breakouts have dramatically decreased in frequency. Overall, pairing these pads with my other BFF Manila products have helped to clear up my skin and keep me sane amidst the pandemic!" - Kelvin

111SKIN Aesthete's Wallet

The 111Skin Eye Masks are my fave BFF products! The Aesthete's Wallet gives you one of each variant - Rose Gold Illuminating, Celestial Black diamond and Sub-zero De-puffing. I love how all of them refresh and calm the skin under my eyes, especially since I'm awake for most of the day. I really need an instant self-care go-to product when it comes to my eyes, and these cute little masks make it look like I'm always well-rested." - Stef

PHILIP B Thermal Protection Spray and Maui Wowie Volumizing & Thickening Beach Mist

"I have never been the type to do my hair just 'cause I never got used to it growing up and every time I tried, it wouldn’t be like I imagined it to be, but when I got my hands on Philip B’s Thermal Protection Spray and Maui Wowie Volumizing & Thickening Beach Mist, my life literally changed.

After washing my hair, I spritz on some heat protection before blow-drying my hair— after which, I do my beach waves then finish off with my Maui Wowie to set it for the day— and believe me, it keeps the curls and unravels naturally the way I like it throughout the day. Next up on my must-try-list is Philip B’s Rejuvenating Oil for a weekly r&r for my hair" - Moriah
