An easy way to “refresh” your mindset is to invest in a new perfume, since your sense of smell is so strongly linked to memories. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a fresh start, with a fresh new fragrance? Floraiku AO is the brand’s latest addition to the Forbidden Incense collection. The scent combines warm myrrh and tonka bean with zesty mandarin and green fig to create a surprisingly seductive green scent.

This lightweight moisturiser from 3LAB contains a powerful blend of tsubaki oil, chia seed oil, brightening peptides, stabilised vitamin E and stabilised vitamin C to brighten, reduce uneven skin tones, protect the skin against pollution and soothe skin all in one go.

Brighten, hydrate and protect your skin in just one step with this vitamin C serum from Kora Organics. Besides being potent, the serum is also free from harmful ingredients such as sulphates, parabens, synthetic fragrance and colour, formaldehyde, and ethoxylate. You can never be too careful when it comes to the stuff you’re putting on your face, can you?

Most people tend not to pay attention to their scalp, thinking that a good shampoo and conditioner is all it takes for great hair. However, did you know that the health of your scalp can make or break your hair, literally? On top of that, the early warning signs of hair loss are scarily subtle: limp, flat hair, a gradually widening part, and an itchy and dry scalp. To make sure your scalp and hair are as healthy as can be, gently exfoliate your scalp twice a week with the Scalp Deep Cleansing Scaler EX.

Named after the Devil’s Bed, this sinful scent housed in a darkly romantic bottle evokes indulgence and transgression with notes of oud, amber, musk, labdanum and saffron, with a curious sprinkle of rose and orange.

If you even remotely identify as a beauty fiend, you would be familiar with Benefit’s box blushes that come in cardboard boxes that flip up, a la old-school style. Come September 12, the brand’s launching its first boxed highlighters. The new highlighters will be available in Tickle – a golden pink shade (as seen) and Cookie – a warm golden pearl shade.

A seductive, fruity scent that characterises Mademoiselle Rochas, this perfume embodies the Parisian Frenchic element.

Dior’s iconic Rouge Dior undergoes a reinvention in this limited edition Trafalgar launch by Peter Philips. Inspired by the late Christian Dior’s “Coup de Trafalgar” – the famous red dress that he liked to surprise the audience with during a catwalk. Now in an exclusive passionate and bold red colour, the lipstick’s bullet is decorated with a motif that pays tribute to two iconic Trafalgar silhouettes of Maria Grazia Chiuri.

Likewise, the Rouge Dior blush undergoes the same treatment with red and the motif. Both products are available at Dior’s Takashimaya counter, starting September.

After its original debut 10 years ago, La Mer’s regenerating serum receives a revamp. The new formula consists of metabolic ferment that’s made up of concentrated plant stem-cell ingredients, glutathione and niacinamide.

It reduces the look of redness and other signs of inflammation, minimises pores and leaves the skin feeling firmer. The Lime Tea Concentrate, La Mer’s antioxidant powerhouse, helps protect against irritating environmental aggressors and prevent future damage to the skin.
