Oribe Valley Of Flowers Eau de Parfum

Oribe is famed for their array of nourishing hair care treatments. But did you know that they also have a collection of fragrances? One of our favourites from the brand is this lush Valley of Flowers eau de parfum. The stunning floral fragrance bursts with notes of Bulgarian rose, jasmine petals and peony blossoms, before drying down to reveal notes of warm amber and musk. Aside from evoking the idea of sauntering amidst a blooming floral garden on a spring day, we also love that the scent is rich and long-lasting. All you need is a spritz or two to instantly lift your mood.

Estée Lauder Micro Essence Treatment Lotion With Bio-Ferment

If your skin is looking a little worse for wear, consider adding Estée Lauder’s Micro Essence to your routine for a revitalising boost. The Postbiotic 12+ and 98.9 per cent Bio-Active Lactobacillus Ferment version is every inch deserving of becoming the next classic. On top of instantly refreshing and hydrating our skin, we noticed that our complexion remained smooth and moisturised even at the end of a long day. It also helped to reduce the appearance of large pores and fine lines after regular use. Rather than being a stand-in for your favourite serum or moisturiser, it’s perfectly fine to use this product in conjunction with your existing beauty regime.

Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain

When it comes to make-up, stained lips aren’t always a bad thing. Which is why we recommend Fenty Beauty’s Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain for its dual use. On its own, it imparts a luscious glossy pout with the right amount of coverage, making it great for a night out—especially when you’re in the middle of the dance floor (and reapplication is the last thing on anyone’s minds). The product’s glazed finish is attributed to the oil-in-water innovation that also gives an instant yet lasting moisture boost. When wiped off, the formula imparts a pretty stain which is great if you prefer a more subdued look. Our favourite shade? Zesty Bestie for its uplifting cherry-tangerine finish. 

Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain, $38, available at Sephora

Burberry Beauty Beyond Radiance Primer in 00 Bare Glow

Replacing Burberry Beauty’s Fresh Glow Base (which some have grown to love) is the newly formulated Beyond Radiance Primer. We love that the oil-free vegan formula glides effortlessly on the face and absorbs quickly, leaving a healthy well-moisturised glow. The formula has plant-derived provitamin P and vitamin F to thank for that. We also appreciate how the reflective pearls lent a lit-from-within glow to get us looking like we clocked in a full eight hours of sleep, when we know full well that we didn’t. If you’re not big on a full on gleam, you can still achieve a luminous look when you apply it as a highlighter. All you need to do is dab it lightly on your cheekbones, brow bone, nose bridge, Cupid’s bow and jawline, and you’re good to go.  

Burberry Beauty Beyond Radiance Primer in 00 Bare Glow, $82, available at Burberry Beauty

Too Faced Too Femme Heart Core Lipstick in Too Femme

Attain the most kissable lips this summer with the Too Femme Heart Core Lipstick from Two Faced. Besides the adorable packaging, the lipstick and lip balm hybrid leaves your pout deeply moisturised without compromising on pigment intensity. Containing acerola cherry extract and shea butter, you won’t have to worry about your lips feeling flaking or drying out throughout the day. If you ask us, this is great option for those who like highly pigmented yet lightweight formulas that leave a well-hydrated sheen. Our favourite shade for off duty days is Too Femme, as it adds just the right amount of colour to add life to your complexion.

Lab Series Daily Rescue Energising Face Lotion

If you accidentally grabbed your husband’s face lotion instead of your own in a sleepy haze, don’t worry—you’re in good hands. Lab Series’s Daily Rescue Energising Face Lotion is lightweight yet super nourishing with its blend of niacinamide and conditioning botanical extracts derived from St Paul’s wort, barley and wheat. We also like how the ginseng, green tea and caffeine in its mix helped to jolt our faces awake with their revitalising and energising properties.

Lab Series Daily Rescue Energizing Face Lotion, $55 for 50ml, available at Lab Series

KVD Beauty Tattoo Pencil Liner Waterproof Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Axinite Brown

With its ability to add dimension to eyes, it’s little wonder why eyeliners are a staple in every girl’s beauty bag. One of our favourites is KVD Beauty’s Tattoo Pencil Liner Waterproof Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, and here’s why. The product offers more intensity than a regular pencil yet  it feels softer than a liquid formula, making the product glide along the rims of your eyes like a dream. We also like its precise matte finish, which comes off very natural just the way we like it. Neutral options like Axinite Brown is perfect for every day use, but there are vivid options like purple and blue that are more appropriate for parties and events.

KVD Beauty Tattoo Pencil Liner Waterproof Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Axinite Brown, $33, available at Sephora

Fenty Skin Total Cleans'R Remove-It-All Cleanser

Rihanna’s Fenty Skin skincare line is decent in that the products do exactly as they claim. The Total Cleans’r Remove-It-All Cleanser foams up lusciously, removes all traces of makeup effortlessly, and leaves the skin feeling supple and smooth with every wash, which are more than you can ask for from a cleanser. We also appreciate that the packaging is fully recyclable, so you know which bin to put this in when you’re done with it. The only thing to note is that the product is highly fragranced, so those with sensitive skin may want to take note of this feature.

Fenty Skin Total Cleans’R Remove-It-All Cleanser, $38, available at Sephora

Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Highlighter in Cognac Gold

Anastasia Beverly Hills just launched three new stick highlighters this summer and we’re living for it. What we love about the formula is how it blends seamlessly into the skin, leaving a high wattage shimmer that works perfectly for poolside parties. Aside from the cheekbones and the nose bridge, we also recommend applying the glimmering highlighter on your collarbones and shoulders if achieving an overall glowing goddess look is what you’re after. Our favourite shade from the collection is Cognac Diamond because it works both as a highlighter for darker skin tones, and a sparkly contour stick for fairer skin tones.

Tatcha The Clarifying Clay Mask

Pore no more? Well, almost. While no beauty product can effectively shrink the appearance of enlarged pores, clarifying products can certainly minimise their appearance by exfoliating surface dead skin cells, removing dirt and excess sebum. We specifically love Tatcha’s Clarifying Clay Mask because it is unlike any other. Made with Japanese volcanic ash, exfoliating Japanese konjac and Okinawa kucha clay, the pore-refining formula promotes softer, smoother and clearer skin between three to five short minutes; a breeze compared to most other clay masks. Apply the mineral-rich clay to clean skin, and allow its warming properties to open your pores up and purify them. Watch as the formula transforms into a pink hue when it dries up, and enjoy a congestion-free complexion that lasts.

Tatcha The Clarifying Clay Mask, $110, available at Sephora

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant

If you’re still using harsh physical scrubs to clarify your skin, it’s time to update your regime with a chemical exfoliant pronto. The Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant from Paula’s Choice is a worthy purchase because it effectively keeps the complexion bright and blemish-free without damaging the skin. This TikTok cult-favourite depends on salicylic acid and methylpropanediol to do all the heavy lifting, while green tea extract helps to calm and heal the skin. For best results, we recommend you use this twice daily under your favourite moisturiser. Just remember to slap on sunscreen to protect the skin against sun damage.

Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, $48, available at Paula’s Choice

THEFACESHOP The Therapy Vegan Blending Toner

To adopt a clean beauty approach, THEFACESHOP gave their The Therapy line a facelift with the launch of their first vegan skincare line. One of the key products from this Korean beauty brand is the Vegan Blending Toner, a multi-functional elixir that combines the lightness of an essence and the efficacy of a serum in a single product. The refreshing toner features the brand’s Marche Anti-aging Formula, a complex which conditions the skin with a blend of calendula and noble laurel extracts and olive oil. Besides giving the formula a gorgeous spa-like fragrance, extracts of sandalwood, thyme, edelweiss and palmarosa help to improve your skin’s resilience. Those with drier skin will appreciate the deep moisturising effects of this concoction.

Orbis Clearful Wash

Orbis’ Clearful Wash deserves attention for all the right reasons. The gentle formula contains an herbal blend of aloe vera, coix seed, yomogi extract and gromwell and liquorice roots to help soothe, strengthen and moisturise the skin. Ingredients such as phytic acid as well as vitamins C and E help to control sebum production and refine the appearance of pores. Aside from leaving the skin smooth and supple after every wash, we also noticed that the cleanser played a role in reducing the development of acne with its clarifying and soothing properties.

Shu Uemura Nude Punk Eye Palette

Let your eyes do all the talking with Shu Uemura’s Nude Punk Eye Palette. Dedicated to setting your gaze ablaze, this versatile set of six glimmering hues work to deliver a punk glam look when used alone or together. We suggest using the nudes and neutrals for every day wear, as the subtle sheen does wonders in elevating a casual daytime look. The chunky glitter options are best for a night out. All it takes is a swipe of these pigmented numbers at the centre of your lids to add glamour to your look in a flash. And don’t be afraid of using the charcoal shade—this smoky number is great for when you want to add definition to your eyes. Simply blend the pigments around the corners of your eyes to achieve that.

Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Brilliance Serum

When it comes to skincare, achieving a bright and even complexion is always the goal, but not at the expense of lightening our natural skin tone. So what does Estée Lauder’s Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Brilliance Serum have to offer in this aspect? The gel-like formula improves luminosity, evens out discolouration and lightens the appearance of hyperpigmentation thanks to ingredients such as vitamin C and proteins derived from ‘extra class’ grade Black Diamond truffles in its mix.  The formula is also inspired by the strength and beauty of a diamond, so it makes sense that it helps to boost skin firmness and build its resilience.

Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Brillance Serum, $398; $338 for 30ml refill, available at Metro

Benefit Cosmetics Willa Soft Neutral-Rose Blush

One of our favourites from Benefit’s latest 12 product Wanderlust blush collection is the shade Willa. The soft neutral-rose powder formula blends seamlessly into the skin, leaving a rosy flush on your cheeks that looks both natural and healthy… just the way we like it. Luminising pigments such as mica, synthetic sapphire and pearl powder imparts a sparkly glow, instantly lifting your features when applied to your cheekbones. A little goes a long way with Willa, so a light tap of a blush brush and gentle upward swipes on the cheeks are all it takes to achieve a radiant post-beach holiday look.

L’occitane Immortelle Reset Serum

Say goodbye to dull and irritated skin with L’Occitane’s Immortelle Reset Serum. The cult favourite is infused with botanical extracts including immortelle and acmella oleracea, which were selected for their revitalising and strengthening properties. The lightweight serum soaks into the skin like a dream, and works best when layered under a moisturiser. Those with oily skin may find the texture to be a tad heavy, so we recommend that you layer this over a leave on chemical exfoliant such as a BHA solution. This way, you can get the best out of this antioxidant-rich formula without breaking out.  Fun fact: The serum is highly raved by K-pop idols including Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung and BTS‘ J-Hop, so it comes as no surprise that the serum has gained a cult following.

L’occitane Immortelle Reset Serum, $98 for 30ml, available at L’occitane

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Nourishing Gel Cream

Who would have thought that this unassuming drugstore moisturiser could deliver such miraculous results? The product targets dehydration by injecting moisture to the skin with a potent blend of humectants and emollients including hyaluronic acid and olive extract. We love that just a light layer of product is all it takes to relieve the skin of flakiness and tightness, and also imparting a luminous well-hydrated glow. The fragrance-free product is best suited for those with dry or dehydrated skin, but also works well across all skin types especially if it’s the dewy clean girl look that you’re after.

Kusabana Damage Repair Hair Mask

Hair masks tend to weigh hair down with their intense formulations, but Kusabana’s Damage Repair Hair Mask certainly does not. Camellia japonica oil deeply nourishes the hair and restores moisture to your locks, leaving them bouncy and smooth after just one use. The mask is also formulated with mineral-rich hot spring water, which breathes new life to flat hair with their strengthening properties. Those with dull, damaged or colour-treated hair will also appreciate how easily it is to comb through your hair with this number.

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Daily Moisturiser

Don’t worry about it drying your skin out because the lightweight concoction is formulated with squalane, bisabolol and ceramides. These help to keep the skin soft and supple with their soothing and strengthening properties. With continued use, we also noticed the blurring of fine lines and wrinkles, so those who are looking for the answer to achieving an ageless complexion may want to make this a regular fixture on your vanity.

Supergoop! Every. Single. Face. Watery Lotion SPF 50

Oftentimes, sunscreens that claim to not leave a white cast will take a bit of massaging into the skin before it achieves just that. Not Supergoop!’s Every. Single. Face. Watery Lotion SPF 50. Instead, the lightweight broad spectrum SPF instantly transforms into a transparent veil upon blending, and leaves behind a well-hydrated glow which we love. Botanical extracts of cress sprout and wild butterfly ginger root also provide protection against environmental aggressors and blue light, which aim to reduce skin damage and premature ageing. Sure, the formula is not as watery as the product name claims, but the lotion is practically weightless on the skin when fully absorbed, and leaves the skin feeling supple and soft.

For an intense evening-appropriate look, simply layer the product and blend until you get the desired effect. One of the many things we love about this sparkly number is how easily the formula blends and glides on the skin. The Ombre Éclat Liquide is available in six neutral, shimmering shades, but our favourite is shade 4 Coral for its vibrant orange hue, which does wonders with instantly brightening and warming up the face.

To use, simply slather this silky formula on after your cleansing step during your evening routine before you retire for the night. Drier skin types may want to consider layering this leave-on mask over necessary serums to achieve optimum results. One thing to note: the formula may take some time to absorb, particularly on humid evenings. But we’re happy to report that it did not stain our sheets the morning after.

If you’re starting to notice early signs of ageing such as skin slackening and the appearance of fine lines, perhaps it’s time to add Elixir’s Design Time Serum to your skincare routine.

Skin that is firm, lifted and well-hydrated.

Massage two or three pumps of the serum into your skin. Once absorbed, it leaves behind a glowy finish, also known as Pearl Glow Skin or tsuyadama in Japanese. Pro-tip: Consider using the Design Time Serum as a lightweight overnight mask, and wake up to lifted, revitalised skin the morning after.

The lightweight gel-like formula is also infused with ceramide and panthenol, which leaves your skin feeling more resilient and elastic within just a few days of use.
