From a NARS collection that gives you a sun-kissed look to a Dior perfume that whisks you away to the South of France, these are beauty items to add to your cart in July
July is one of the hottest months in Hong Kong, which means there will be plenty of yacht soirees, beach picnics and poolside parties. But the city’s humidity can lead to excessive sweating, which can ruin make-up as the day progresses. Also, as sweat mixes with dirt and your natural oils, it can leave your skin feeling irritated or even cause breakouts. So, if you’re looking to level up your beauty game this month, here are some things you might want to add to your vanity.
