Combining vinyl-like shine and balm-like comfort, Dior’s latest launch reimagines lipstick wear, thanks to its vibrant pigments and 24-hour hydration. Formulated with highly-reflective micro-pearls, these lipsticks are available in three different high-shine finishes, including glazed, metallic and glittery. Plus, they are enriched with a blend of oils and waxes so they melt into lips upon application to not just deliver that dramatic effect but to provide non-stop comfort.
Clarins has just revealed an all-new line dedicated to the younger crowd (read: 18 to 25 years old) known as the my Clarins range. One product that we can’t wait to try is this gel-based cream that reawakens and revitalises tired skin while delivering optimum hydration thanks to energy-boosting goji berry extract and moisturising fig extract.
Suitable even for those with sensitive skin, this mild cleanser effectively removes makeup and impurities from pores without disrupting skin’s delicate moisture-sebum levels. Beyond that, the formula also contains panthenol to soothe irritation and alleviate dryness while essential oils help to calm your senses.
With four new additional shades in the most versatile of colours, this enhances lips’ natural color, while a Monoi Hydrating Complex helps to smooth, soften and protect puckers with a blend of antioxidants. It gives a sheer wash of colour with a shiny, radiant finish.
Harnessing the rejuvenating powers of Pro-Retinol and the brightening effect of vitamin C, this potent anti-ageing eye treatment banishes fine lines, dark circles and puffiness over time.

Imagine cocooning your skin with a rich face cream that hydrates, plumps and perfects the look of your skin with a luminous finish. Now imagine foundation pigments being added into that face cream and this Foundation Balm from Armani Beauty is what you get. Upon application, this balm-textured foundation can be seamlessly blended into the skin to correct imperfections for a perfect complexion.
It also has a buildable formula so you can easily layer on more product on areas where you need more coverage. And as the formula melds with your skin, its self-setting mechanism kicks in as it transforms into a silky smooth powder texture that adheres to skin contours throughout the day so it never creases or cakes. Best part? The finish remains a luminous soft matte that looks fresh and modern all day long.
Incredibly lightweight, Chanel’s latest lipstick has an ultra-thin texture that literally melts onto your lips with each and every swipe. Plus, it’s packed with vibrant and transparent pigments that dresses your lips in a weightless coat of colour.
Inspired by the shades of rose petals, this range of velvety lip colours has a cushiony texture that sets into a velvety matte finish. However, you do not have to worry about dryness as the formula contains the brand’s Shine Essence Oil Complex which ensures that the pigments stay true-to-colour while keeping skin smooth and hydrated.

Formulated to suit even acne-prone and sensitive skin types, this treatment essence is made with over 90 per cent certified organic ingredients, including rose, snow fungus, Centella Asiatica, licorice root and aloe vera. This blend of botanicals work synergistically to deliver hydration, calm inflammation and neutralise free radical damage for healthier, more resilient skin.
Perfect for giving your complexion an airbrushed effect, this finishing powder consists of ultra-fine mica and light-diffusing pigments to soften the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores and roughness. After makeup application, use a large brush to lightly dust this powder all over the face for a natural, second-skin finish. You can also use it as a touch-up powder to eliminate excess shine and smooth out irregularities.
As its name suggest, use this if you want to create a come-hither, feline look. Thanks to its hourglass-shaped brush, it creates a fanned-out effect that gives the illusion of bigger eyes. The weightless, clump-free formula also makes layering multiple coats a breeze as it doesn’t weigh fine lashes down. Plus, carbon black pigments mean you get unparalleled intensity for a smouldering effect.
