Caudalie VineOxyl™ Hair Density Serum
As I get older, my hair has definitely gotten thinner—and while it hasn’t been dire, it’s always better to take care of our manes before they reach that stage. Amidst the array of serums on the market, this one from Caudalie stands out with its naturally-derived formulation comprising patented VineOxyl™ alongside chia and pea peptides. Targeting the mechanisms behind hair follicle growth, consistent use helps improve hair loss while also nourishing the scalp barrier to alleviate oxidative stress. Its non-greasy finish has cemented its spot in my post-shower routine, and my hair finally feels thicker for the first time in years. — Aileen Liang, beauty writer
Caudalie VineOxyl™ Hair Density Serum, $58 for 50ml, available at Sephora

Hindsight Sol de Bali Eau de Parfum
For the girlies who love a floral scent but are looking for something slightly different, Hindsight’s Sol de Bali is just that. The warmth of the white florals—jasmine, tuberose, tiare—are embedded at the heart of this perfume. Enmeshed in the golden light of frangipani, the scent leaves behind a slight—though ever distinct—peppery touch, which rounds off the warmth of the white musk. On a much more personal note, this has very quickly become my go-to scent for the last two weeks; I have worn it religiously and have converted not one, not two, but five friends onto this fragrance and the Hindsight fragrance collection. — Agnes Shu, digital writer

Hermès Rouge Hermès Satin Lipstick in 21 Rouge Épicé
Snowy peaks are not a part of our daily landscape, which is what makes the limited edition Hermès Rouge Hermès Satin Lipstick in 21 Rouge Épicé such a pitch-perfect gift. Inspired by “the deep cold and unique light of the Far North,” Hermès Beauty objects creator Pierre Hardy conceived a design that is both wholly unique while also remaining true to the spirit of the house; think the craggy structure of a splendid mountain set against bright, saturated hues that are reflective of the colour of the actual lipstick bullets within. 21 Rouge Épicé encases pouts in a muted, soft pink comprising vibrant hints of terracotta. — Emily Heng, beauty editor

Fenty Skin Cookies n Clean Whipped Clay Pore Detox Face Mask with Salicylic Acid and Charcoal
My criteria for a good face mask, regardless of how my skin looks after rinsing, is how clean I feel—that stripping of oil and dirt can be heavenly. This mask does that perfectly, formulated with salicylic acid and charcoal to deep-clean and minimise your pores. The potion is formulated to remove accumulated impurities and excess oil from the skin, brightening your visage quite visibly. The salicylic acid chemically exfoliates your skin, supports cell turnover and calms inflammation as well. Every week, for 15 minutes, I let this mask whisk away the week’s impurities, refreshing myself and my skin. — Poorva Maithani, digital intern
