It’s that time of the year again – We’re all still coming to terms with the fact that the first three-quarters of 2019 is well and truly over..? 

While 2019 has bestowed new experiences and great memories, I think we can all agree about how it’s also brought us a whole lot of struggles that we’ve (somehow) managed to deal with. Is that not a good enough reason for you to pamper yourself with a little treat?

We’ve got products ranging from skincare, makeup and haircare and even fragrance – time to put your best self forward as you prepare to take on the last quarter of 2019!

Skincare

1. HERA Signia Ampoule

An anti-ageing program in four weeks? Sign us up.

The HERA Signia Ampoule contains vital narcissus essence from five million narcissus stem cells that rejuvenates the skin’s elasticity, returning it to a healthy and youthful visage. It’s packed in a dual liquid-ampoule formula (think of ampoules as a potent shot of ingredients to your skin, even more targeted than serums!)

With this Ampoule, your overall natural skin resistance will be improved in the day, while it offers intensive anti-aging effects during the night. Perfect for all the aging we’ve done in the first three-quarters of this year!

HERA Signia Ampoule retails at SGD338 and is available at all HERA counters and boutique.

2. Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C Bright & Plump Moisturiser

Moisturisers are pretty much an essential item in our everyday skincare routine but ever thought about having brighter and plumper skin after just one use?

Behold, the future of Vitamin C: THD Ascorbate – a scientific breakthrough ingredient that’s 50 times more powerful than traditional Vitamin C. This powerful tub of moisturiser also includes Hydrolyzed Collagen, which defies the signs of aging, Vitamin E, and Ferulic Acid to improve uneven skin tones. True to their brand philosophy, you’ll probably be astonished at the results!

Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C Bright & Plump Moisturiser retails at SGD112 and will be available at all Sephora stores islandwide in September.

3. Sigi Skin Dew Potion

With the recent climate changes and haze situation in Singapore, there’s no better time to invest in an anti-pollution essence mist. This 100% natural mist contains no water at all, using only natural extracts for its formula. The potent ingredients it contains, such as Chamomile, Aqua 3G, and Maqui Berry boast excellent antiseptic, anti-oxidant and moisturising properties, while acting as a barrier for your skin against environmental irritants.

Spritz away for a dewier look in seconds!

Sigi Skin Dew Potion retails at SGD48 and is available exclusively at Sigi Skin online.

1. Crabtree & Evelyn new Evelyn Rose range

What does femininity represent in today’s world? Crabtree & Evelyn have metaphorically answered that question with this intriguing and bold reinterpretation of the rose – captured entirely from petal to thorn – in their newest collection.

Transcend the art of skin cleansing with CHANEL’s newest line of luxurious skincare products. These four ultra-sensorial skincare products are enriched with natural-origin active ingredients to make the skin increasingly luminous.

Our favourite has to be the unique Le Savon De Soin – a delicate face soap that releases a creamy and light lather when used. The mild natural-origin emulsifier combined with shea butter and humectant agents, ensures all impurities gone from the skin.

The other products in this cleansing collection include a luscious gel that dissolves all traces of makeup – Sublimage L’Huile-En-Gel De Demaquillage, as well as a natural Vanilla scrub that lifts away impurities, leaving you with luxuriously soft and supple skin.

Makeup

1. Dior Prestige Le Micro-Fluide Teint de Rose

Straight from Christian Dior’s childhood home itself, the Rose de Granville has long been associated with the Dior brand, thanks to the founder’s love of them. Now, the relationship has deepened with the new and first Dior Prestige foundation which contains Rose de Granville micro-nutrients and rose micro-pearls enriched with gold.

But don’t expect to see the micro-pearls as these are of a micronised size (1.5 times smaller than traditional pearlescent pigments), to multiply light and create a transparent radiance without a shimmer effect.

It’s time to reward your complexion with this rosy gold sheen for luminous and perfect skin!

The Dior Prestige Le Micro-Fluide Teint de Rose retails at SGD155 and is now available at all DIOR counters.
