Urban Jungle Saké Bomb Gel Cleanser
Over the years, I’ve found that not all gentle cleansers are born equal. Many times, I’m left feeling like the heavy layers of make-up I wear on a daily basis don’t completely come off—yes, even with a double cleanse—and I would prefer something more exfoliating. Yet perhaps Urban Jungle’s Saké Bomb Gel Cleanser meets me in the middle. With its gel texture, two pumps lather up into a formidable formulation that lays my mien bare (in the best way possible). Enriched with fermented saké and AHA, my skin feels thoroughly clean and deeply exfoliated yet the saké inclusion ensures it remains soft and refreshed. No complaints here, with its vegan and cruelty-free tag as well. —Azrin Tan, senior digital writer

Chanel Jeux De Lumières Multi-Use Eye Shadow and Highlighter Palette
Girls don’t want boyfriends. They want four stunning pots of shimmering powders all in a single palette. Specifically one from Chanel. I love a good multi-use beauty product any day. So it doesn’t hurt that Chanel’s Jeux de Lumières palette—co-created by Ammy Drammeh, a member of the Comètes Collective—serves as both eyeshadow and highlighter. For someone that takes to nude and softer pinks in my eye make-up, the four shades of pink coral, rosy gold, pinkish silver and copper gold each hit the brief upon application, whether used singularly or blended together. — Janice Sim, digital editor

La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift
An icon, reimagined. The cult classic La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift has undergone a makeover in 2025, with its new rendition comprising new breakthrough ingredients. At the top of the list? Caviar micro-nutrients, which conveys a whole host of skincare benefits. Think ceramide synthesis as well as bolstered collagen production, while the incorporation of peptides and hyaluronic acid ensures a strengthened natural barrier. This results in a visibly lifted and moisturised visage, with sustained use also leading to a significantly brightened complexion. — Emily Heng, associate beauty editor

Chanel The Massage Accessory No 1 De Chanel
A new era of facial tools beckons. Leading the charge? Chanel, naturally. Developed by the maison’s adept facialists, this bad boy is meticulously designed to enhance the effects of the No 1 De Chanel skincare range. Its notched edges, for one, are integral in the enhanced absorption of product, which thus results in the diminishing of large, extended pores. Its V-shaped end, on the other hand, is proficient at smoothing out wrinkles. And last but not least, its concave side bolsters blood circulation for glowing, more radiant skin than before. Use it continuously for two weeks to observe the best results, as well in tandem with other stellar picks from Chanel’s skincare collection. A personal favourite combination: the No 1 De Chanel Revitalising Serum with the Chanel Hydra Beauty Crème, which seals in and locks down all the skin-soothing benefits of the serum without leaving the complexion feeling sticky or tacky. — Emily Heng, associate beauty editor

Liquid magic. Sometimes, girls just want to add a little sparkle to their beat. Soft, luminous and set to cast you an ethereal glow, there’s shining power in Rare Beauty’s Positive Light Liquid Luminizer. A dreamy, creamy formulation that blends out so easily with just my fingers, a little goes a long way. I find it the perfect way to achieve a subtle sheen on my cheeks, nose bridge and just under my brows—just for that bit of something special when I’m in the mood. The peachy-pink translucence of Transcend is a personal favourite and works as a fabulous topper over my blush. — Azrin Tan, senior digital writer

Clarins Double Serum
As its name suggests, this serum is jam-packed with powerful ingredients—of 22 plant extracts as well as five new pure active molecules. An anti-ageing formula that incorporates a turmeric extract that helps to stimulate the skin’s vital functions as well as a organic provencal reed extract that strengthens our skin’s barrier to our environs and lifestyle habits. As stated on the fine print, one drop is vital enough—with a heavier-than-usual consistency yet absorbs efficiently into the skin. Just after a few uses, my skin did feel softer, plumper and more lifted. This too, translated to how my everyday make-up sat, making this product now a vital mainstay in my skincare top-shelves. — Janice Sim, digital editor
Clarins Double Serum, $195, available at Clarins

Tom Ford Eye Color Quad Crème in Olive Smoke
Does it get any more ‘high-intensity glamour’ than Tom Ford’s luxe palettes? One of their two newly unveiled Eye Color Quads, the Olive Smoke eyeshadow palette unites shimmering shades of champagne and peach alongside darker, dramatic greens. These wearable hues can be built up from a subtle statement to the perfect, indie sleaze-esque smokey eye. I’m a fan of the cream-to-powder format, which blends beautifully and injects generous pigment. And applied in the morning, I was thrilled to find that they hold up all day without any fading or creases. Consider this your instant portal to runway-ready eyes. — Dominique Yohanes, contributing beauty writer

Miss Dior Mini Miss Parfum
Solid perfumes take on a fashion-forward slant with the launch of the Miss Dior Mini Miss Parfum, which comes encased within a refillable flacon that sports the maison’s famed houndstooth jacquard woven. Aesthetic appeal aside, its soft, jelly-like texture—that resembles a balm in terms of shape and consistency—also comprises a potent degree of the iconic Miss Dior scent, where two quick swipes is enough to imbue the skin with luminous and sparkling notes of rose, iris, and lily of the valley. Expect no sticky residue, with it dissolving into skin within seconds of application. Convenience and style, all wrapped into a single gorgeous package? You bet. — Emily Heng, associate beauty editor

Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof Longwear Eyeliner and Kohl Pen in Brun Pourpré
Chanel’s Style Yeux Waterproof eyeliners are much beloved for the lasting power of their pigments, which apply with bold intensity and withstand hours against both water and humidity. As such, they’re a great candidate for one’s go-to eyeliner in Singapore’s climate. Part of Chanel’s whimsical new spring/summer beauty collection, this limited edition Brun Pourpré shade is a matte red brown that livens up an otherwise neutral eye make-up look with stand-out warmth. Line things up with ease, courtesy of the pencil’s precise tip. — Dominique Yohanes, contributing beauty writer

Chloé Atelier des Fleurs Orchidée de Minuit Eau de Parfum
To be honest, I never quite believed in the idea of having a signature scent—I’ve always thought of fragrances as tools to create a specific atmosphere, over capturing or expressing one’s personality—but I think I’ve just found mine. A fairly recent addition to Chloé’s unisex Atelier des Fleurs collection, I was immediately drawn to its spicy floral warmth, which feels dominating and mysterious, yet with a tiny hint of sweetness. Leaning a tad feminine, notes of orchid and jasmine are grounded in a dark, musky blend of rum and patchouli, lending the fragrance an air of quiet boldness. The sweeter vanilla notes become more apparent throughout its wear, leaving behind a beautiful, alluring aroma that completes the story of this scent. — Gladys Yeo, digital intern

Hourglass Phantom Volumising Glossy Balm in Red 0
High-shine, shellacked pouts aren’t going anywhere—especially not if Hourglass has anything to say about it. The brand has opted to expand upon its shade range this 2025, with three new additions joining its 20-hue strong collection. The star of the show: Red 0, which is touted as an “ultra-wearable” interpretation of Hourglass’s iconic red lipstick. Its release also heralds an all-new breakthrough for the brand, with Red 0 being an exclusive vegan replacement to carmine. Layer it on for a wet, glistening finish, or don it sheer for a natural pop of colour. — Emily Heng, associate beauty editor

Aromatica Rosemary Root Enhancer
I tend to stray away from most leave-in hair products (especially ones applied directly to the scalp) as they often give me mini bumps along my hairline. Not only does this root enhancer decidedly not have that effect, it also leaves a cooling sensation on my scalp that I’ve come to really enjoy during the application process. As for living up to its claims, this rosemary-infused serum is said to reduce hair-fall by strengthening the roots. I have definitely noticed less hair clogging the drain during my showers after a couple weeks of use, but the more apparent benefit is how my scalp feels less tight and dry—and far more nourished. — Chandreyee Ray, associate lifestyle editor
Aromatica Rosemary Root Enhancer, $21, available at Sephora

Jung Beauty 7 Second Instant Nourish Water Treatment
There’s a reason Jung Beauty’s 7 Second Instant Nourish Water Treatment has earned itself cult status. Now enriched with camellia flower oil for an added layer of hydration and moisture retention, its latest edition has made me something of a convert. A weightless liquid conditioner, its slick formulation feels like a dream to massage into tresses and the scalp, its initial warming effect slowly overtaken by a minty cool finish as it works to repair hair cuticles and clarify the scalp. Since beginning usage on every alternate wash, I’ve found that my mane feels lighter, healthier and bouncier; my shorter strands falling into all the right places with minimal styling in the morning. A surefire result of its powerhouse ingredient list; think salicylic acid to maintain the scalp’s sebum production; panthenol to moisturise and smoothen hair texture; and a 7 amino acid complex that prevents hair thinning and improves elasticity. Imagine all this, and that wonderful floral scent which instantly rouses the senses. — Azrin Tan, senior digital writer

Philips Hairdryer 8000 Series
You’ve heard of hair dryers that boast reduced heat damage, but what about a drying gizmo that helps enhance strand hydration? The newly-launched Philips Hairdryer 8000 Series does precisely this thanks to its inclusion of new tech that releases 200 million negative ions and water ions with each use. This, thus, allows it to generate up to 1,000 times the moisture content of traditional dryers, resulting in shinier, glossier hair with sustained use. And while results weren’t discernible to the naked eye within my two weeks of use, my mane did feel considerably softer to the touch. Another plus point: its compact size, which makes it a breeze to travel with. — Emily Heng, associate beauty editor
Philips Hairdryer 8000 Series, $299, available at Philips
