SHISEIDO VisionAiry Gel Lipstick
We are captivated by the exquisite feel and full-coverage of Shiseido’s VisionAiry Gel lipstick, featuring its revolutionary Triple Gel Technology. Through a fusion of rich pigmentation and water, a weightless gel is created that stays intact for hours. Worn by the model in the photo above, the shade Bullet Train is a gorgeous pink-peach neutral, ideal for all occasions whether day or night. The slender lipstick casing also makes it easy for slipping into pockets or petite handbags for going out.
BASTIDE 1958 au de toilette
Experience the exquisite scent of Bastide’s 1958 Eau de Toilette. This fragrance is a combination of fresh, earthy scents, blending zesty bergamot and mandarin with the aromatic essence of rosemary and lavender. Bastide was co-founded by Frédéric Fekkai, the superstar hairstylist-businessman and his beautiful wife Shirin Von Wulffen. They named the unisex fragrance after the year Fekkai was born, capturing the nostalgic essence of the south of France. This scent evokes Fekkai’s cherished memories of his carefree youth, cruising in his father’s old car with friends, surrounded by the beauty and natural fragrances of Provence. We love the uplifting mandarin notes and soothing lavender that transport you to the idyllic French countryside. It’s a perfect fragrance to wear year round.
YSL Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara
For many Asians, finding the perfect mascara can be a difficult task due to our straighter and shorter lashes that are hard to curl. Thankfully, there’s an excellent solution available in the form of the YSL Lash Clash Volume Mascara. We discovered this mascara not only adds length to your lashes but also thickens them, making them appear fuller. Its double-conical brush is designed to hold extra formula, ensuring noticeable results with just a single coat. What really sets this mascara apart is its unique use of refined botanical ingredients, including Iris Florentina extract sourced from YSL Beauty’s Ourika gardens. This extract not only stimulates your lashes but also helps lashes stay healthy throughout the day while you’re wearing it.
HERMÈS Plein Air H Trio Iridescent Mineral Powder
The Hermès iridescent mineral powder consists of 88% natural ingredients and hyaluronic acid for hydration and nourishment. Its texture is extremely finely milled, making it the softest powder we’ve ever experienced. What makes this powder truly unique is its high content of mother-of-pearl, which gives a gentle and natural iridescent finish. If you prefer a warm and healthy glow, the Corail Atacama shade is the perfect choice, providing a translucent peach radiance. Or, if you like a delicate pink sheen, the Rose Atacama shade is ideal. To add a touch of playfulness, we used a combination of pink and white as eyeshadows, creating a delightful pop of color. Additionally, the elegant white case from Hermès is refillable, allowing you to either replace it with a refill or try out a new shade. Each powder bears the iconic embossed H motif, maintaining the brand’s elegant signature style.
SUNDAYS Nail Polish
When it comes to nail polish, Sundays is the ultimate choice for luxury nail care. Created by CEO Amy Ling Lin, the brand offers non-toxic polishes that both beautify and nourish your nails. Lin, who holds an MBA from Columbia University, collaborates with a chemist to develop Sundays‘ polish, omitting 10 common chemicals found in traditional nail polishes. Thus, Sundays was born: a nontoxic, vegan, and cruelty-free formula that boasts a collection of over 45 captivating shades. Among our favorites is No. 48, a timeless off-white shade with delicate pink undertones. The sleek square bottle design provides a nice grip, and the flat brush distributes the gel polish for a flawless finish.

U Beauty: The PLASMA Lip Compound
As fall approaches, the air becomes cooler and drier, your lips may need extra moisture to prevent dryness. To combat this, reach for the U Beauty Plasma Lip Compound. Formulated with moisturizing ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acid, a peptide-ceramide combination, and shea butter. The Lip Compound provides deep hydration that lasts for up to 24 hours. We noticed that it instantly plumps and contours the lips, creating a gorgeous pillow-effect. We recommend using it day and night for long-lasting results, including enhanced lip color and increased softness and smoothness. Don’t stop with just one, choose from the eight shades from a pale pink named Rose to Bellini, a coral tint, and Sunset, a caramel color. Wear it alone as a hydrating lip treatment, or as a luminous lip gloss over a matte lipstick. In either case, you’ll love the way your lips look.
Valmont: l’Elixir des Glaciers Eye Cream
The reason for its name, the “complete eye treatment,” becomes clear once you experience its benefits. This best-selling Swiss poly-active cream provides intense hydration to the delicate eye area, noticeably reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The combination of red algae and caffeine works together to reduce puffiness, creating a dual effect that helps to drain away excess fluids. As a result, the skin around the eyes appears more youthful, smoother, and with a renewed radiance. If you haven’t tried it yet, this eye treatment is essential in your beauty regimen.
