Obviously, this is a no-brainer. After all, Sephora’s physical stores do already fulfil most of our beauty needs. It took over now-defunct beauty site Luxola.sg in February and stocks several online exclusives from brands like Alpha-H, Sachajuan and Zoeva.

The e-tailer doesn’t just do fashion well; its beauty section is just as comprehensive and competitive. For one, it stocks hard-to-find brands like Glossier, Charlotte Tilbury and Chantecaille. For two, its range of scented candles and other beauty-related gadgets are highly covetable – just look at that gorgeous Fornasetti candle (bottom left) and check out a beauty pillow that reportedly improves your quality of sleep (and consequently gives you more youthful skin).

Who isn’t a fan of relaxing, soothing scents? You’ll love the ones whipped up by Mmerci Encore, which retails handcrafted essential oils, body serums and organic sugar scrubs. The best bit: You can shop by mood under categories like “relax” and “uplift“.

While it’s a relatively new player in the local beauty scene (it only launched last December), its products have already been spotted all over our Instagram feeds, like on our Female Collective girl Guan Min‘s account. The USP: Products that cater to the time-starved multi-hyphenates. Its debut launch, the 1A All-Day Mask, is contained in a sleek, travel-friendly tube and reportedly repairs skin’s barrier function, boosts radiance as well as collagen production.

Established by former marketing professional Mandy Leena Tan in 2013, the brand prides itself on producing eco-friendly and natural beauty products. Cue delectable-sounding names like an arabic coffee and coconut body scrub, or a handcrafted bar of soap created using  frangipani and wild honey.
