Talk of orchids is inevitable with National Day, but it’s hard to deny the bloom’s influence. Till Aug 28, Gardens By The Bay will host Orchid Extravaganza (buy tickets here), a display of over 100 species in its Flower Dome. Here, an equally diverse range of beauty products inspired by or containing the flower.
A summery update on the designer’s Black Orchid fragrance with top notes of pink peppercorn and cypress, and base notes of vanilla and patchouli surrounding the heart of the seductive bloom.
At the heart of this limited edition oriental-floral is the vibrant tiger orchid, complemented by notes of ginger flower, ylang-ylang, patchouli and cashmere wood.
With Jeju orchid extract that’s high in antioxidants, this ultra-nourishing anti-ageing cream is said to reduce the look of wrinkles, improve elasticity and skin texture, and soothe extreme dryness.
With shea butter and botanical waxes to condition dry, chapped lips, this all-natural lip balm comes with a pretty yet modern, barely-there pink hue.
A bold, matte orchid pink with antioxidant acai oils and wild mango butter to soothe dryness.
The 24-hour-wear, high-pigment formula means an ultra-matte, yet intense violet hue that lasts. Natural moisturisers like sunflower seed wax mean it glides on smooth and feels comfortable.
Boasting orchid extracts and a refreshing floral scent, this doubles as a pre-cleanser and makeup remover that gets rid of impurities and hydrates skin.
The satiny pink shows up even on deeper complexions, thanks to the intense pigmentation. Go light for a natural-looking flush.
Blue Orchid extract restores radiance and suppleness to dehydrated skin, while essential oils provide aromatherapeutic benefits without leaving a greasy film.
An adapted version first appeared in Female’s August 2016 issue.
