Hera
1 / 1
Hera debuts its new and improved Sensual Powder Matte Liquid range that offers an airy, voluminous texture and a velvety soft finish; it’s not only perfect for mask-wear because it doesn’t transfer or smudge, but also for showing off a perfect pout once the masks come off.
With a new and improved formula, the secret lies in a new formula that extends the Sensual Powder Matte Liquid’s wearability, blendable texture, and more importantly, comfort level on the lips. Choose from nine shades (up from the previous collection of six), from easy-to-wear neutrals to vivid and warm hues, suitable for every skin tone.
Surprisingly, the Sensual Powder Matte Liquid is a multi-tasker too. Gently blend your shade of choice over the cheeks and eyelids to be used as an eyeshadow and blusher. The result is a sophisticated yet never excessive, soft yet daring #softchic look, just like Blackpink’s Jennie.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend—not just as accessories but in skincare as well, it seems. Estee Lauder's new Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Brilliance Serum is a powerful new tool that aims to reveal the skin’s diamond-like brilliance.
The weightless liquid is easily absorbed to quickly refresh skin and help restore plumper, smoother feel. At the heart of the serum is a true "skincare diamond" and potent energy infusion for the skin: Re-Nutriv's exclusive Black Diamond Truffle Extract.

Hermès Terre d’Hermès Eau Givrée
1 / 1
Craving an icy, refreshing scent this summer? Hermes has an invigorating fragrance to offer this season.
Created by Christine Nagel, Hermes' perfumer, Terre d'Hermes Eau Givree combines the vigour of citron and the incisive freshness of juniper berry with the power of Timut pepper. The striking sensation of an icy breeze is juxtaposed with the generosity of the woody, mineral notes characteristic of Terre d'Hermes.
“With this new creation, I wanted to challenge the idea that freshness is synonymous with a certain lightness. I sought to express the intense freshness of a land covered with ice, and the fusion of these two elements, a source of primary, regenerative energy for men,” Nagel said.
With sustainability in mind, the fragrance is refillable and features an eco-friendly bottle that combines glass with aluminium, two fully recyclable materials.
Available at Hermès Liat Towers, Hermès Marina Bay Sands, Hermès Takashimaya, Takashimaya Department Store, Tangs Department Store and Hermes.com.
Beautyblender
1 / 1
It is hard to believe that this ever-important tool has turned 20 years old. Yes, we're talking about the iconic Beautyblender which has rightfully earned its place on every makeup and beauty aficionado's vanity. It all started when celebrity makeup artist, Rea Ann Silva led the makeup department of the popular TV show, Girlfriends. Triangle sponges used to be the go-to tool, but they had to be tossed after every use and often left a streaky finish. As one of the first shows shot in high-definition, Rea Ann needed a way to replicate the look of perfect, flawless skin without clunky, noisy and complicated airbrushing machines.
She started hand-cutting the existing sponges into a variety of shapes and sizes. Soon, every celebrity that sat in her chair wanted their own hand-cut sponge, which soon became known as the Beautyblender. Since then, it has become an essential tool for everyone from everyday makeup users to celebrity makeup artists.
This month, get the original Beautyblender—which features its signature, patented material. The foam is vegan, latex-free and is made of the softest high-quality material for a skin-like application. Use it wet for an airbrush finish and for the sponge to absorb minimal product, so your favourite formula lands on your complexion, not your sponge. Pair your sponge with an antimicrobial silicone case that is so useful for bringing your Beautyblender on-the-go while protecting it from grime and germs. The capsule can hold up to two Beautyblenders.
PHS Hairscience Thickening Shampoo
1 / 1
Did you know that washing your hair every day won't damage it or cause any hair fall issues, as most people would think? It is normal to lose up to 100 strands of hair each day. And shampooing daily actually encourages hair growth and promotes healthier hair.
PHS Hairscience has updated and improved its Fem (for women) or Hom (for men) Thickening Shampoo formulation, which now features upgraded active ingredients that absorb faster and better to nourish scalp skin, instead of just washing away as conventional shampoos do.
The upgraded Thickening formulation is also packed with fast-acting ingredients that optimise scalp functions, promote healthy follicles and encourage the growth of thicker, stronger hair. These densifying properties will leave your hair thicker, stronger and fuller-looking after every wash.
Tatcha The Clarifying Clay Mask
1 / 1
Japanese skincare rituals are always an excellent reference for us to take notes from and try to improve our own at-home regimes. Japanese skincare brand Tatcha "believes in bringing harmony to our skin while achieving balance to the soul".
Tatcha's new The Clarifying Clay Mask features a sensual texture, clarifying properties, and warming effect that absorbs excess sebum, gently exfoliates and warms the skin to draw out impurities that impart a brighter, smoother complexion in just three minutes after one use.
Inspired by the beauty secrets of Japan, Tatcha The Clarifying Clay Mask is formulated with three key ingredients sourced from Okinawa Island. With regular use (at least three times a week), look forward to an improvement in smoothness, softness, and suppleness that unveils a more clarified, brighter complexion.
Use this mask and let your skin indulge in the power of Okinawa Kucha Clay, Japanese Konjac, and Japanese Volcanic Ash to improve skin texture, clarity, and pore reduction.
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Sunscreen
1 / 1
They finally did it: Glow Recipe has released its debut SPF product, blending the best of sunscreen and skincare into one baby pink bottle.
Glow Recipe’s first-ever sunscreen is a lightweight SPF 50 that keeps skin protected without sacrificing skincare benefits like deep hydration, brightening, an even tone and glow. Its latest family member that joins the TikTok-famous watermelon glow gang features a unique blend of chemical and mineral protection, clinically-effective niacinamide to even and brighten skin, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and ‘skinscreen’ ingredients like watermelon extracts and aloe.

Pro tip: Blend and pat (not rub) your sunscreen in sections to ensure you don’t miss any spots. This product can be a gamechanger when using formulas with mineral actives to not leave a white cast.
