It’s easy to overlook taking care of yourself, which is why we’ve come up with a curation of the best beauty and wellness destinations for a feel-good makeover. Whether it’s a jolt of colour and change to your makeup routine for a fun pick-me-up, or hair and skincare products that you can use to bring a luxuriant spa experience home with you, it’s always a good idea to take some time to really pamper yourself.
Cleansing Cream, $38, ORBIS (#B2-03A)
Take the day off with this richly textured gel cream cleanser from ORBIS which gently melts away and removes even waterproof base and eye makeup.

Elevate your hair care ritual with this duo from Aveda. The nutriplenish leave-in conditioner promises a host of benefits like hydration, heat protection and UV defense that will leave your hair feeling soft and a breeze to manage.

The Body Contour Massage Oil from Mt.Sapola offers an at-home spa experience. It’s got a heady, relaxing scent of grapefruit and rosemary, and features natural extracts and active ingredients that condition and moisturise skin while helping to keep your figure shapely.
Sephora Collection Wild Wishes Blockbuster Makeup Palette, $68, Sephora (#B1-05 to 09)
