Don't forget to treat yourself as you shop till you drop for gifts this December. It's the season of giving after all! Below, we present eight of our top beauty drops this month for your consideration.
Hermès Ombres d’Hermès Eyeshadow
An eyeshadow palette so good that we had to write about it twice. Hermès' Ombres d'Hermès palette comes in a compact, luxurious case with four complementary shades. The range offers six colour schemes, including this 03 Ombres Fauves one, packed with gorgeous warm, autumnal shades.
The collection is available at Hermès Liat Towers, Hermès Marina Bay Sands, Hermès Takashimaya, Takashimaya Department Store, Tangs Department Store and Hermes.com.
Byredo Animalique
Byredo's latest fragrance taps into your animalistic instincts; a scent so compelling to the nose that we're still talking about it a month after its official launch. The perfume shines first with citrus in its top notes, followed by a warm blend of florals and hints of sexy suede, amber and tobacco leaf.
The fragrance is available at Byredo Boutique at Takashimaya S.C, Escentials Boutique at Paragon and Escentials.com.
Celine Le Savon Solide Parfumé Perfumed Solid Soap
Celine is expanding its Haute Parfumerie line with a new bath and body collection. Our favourite of the bunch is its Le Savon Solide Parfumé perfumed solid soap, infused with 99 per cent natural origin ingredients like sweet almond oil and vegetal glycerin to elevate your bath routine this season.
The soaps come as a set of three for $165 and are available in stores now.
Heliocare Luminance
We're all for supplements this year, especially those that help you glow from within. Packed with Fernblock® (a patented plant extract), an antioxidant called Glutathione, Vitamin B3 and rosemary extract, this supplement will tackle dark spots and hyperpigmentation, promote skin radiance, reduce visible signs of ageing, improve the skin barrier and protect your skin from external aggressors.
Heliocare Luminance is available at selected leading dermatological, plastic surgery and aesthetic clinics.
Sigi Skin Calming Breeze Body Wash
If you suffer from sensitive skin and often find regular shower gels too drying for the skin, then Sigi Skin's Calming Breeze Body Wash is the bodycare product for you. The body wash is formulated with vitamins A, B, D, E and K, verbascoside (a plant stem cell), rice, ceramides and glycerin to cleanse and strengthen your skin barrier after every wash.
