Supergoop has legions of fans for good reason. Its range of sunscreens covers various types of needs from customers in a variety of finishes. Supergoop's Mineral Sheerscreen SPF 30 is a sheer, weightless, 100 per cent mineral daily sunscreen lotion that provides SPF 30 protection and helps shield skin from blue light. And this will be incredibly useful for most of us right now since the vast majority are still working from home—and that means extensive hours in front of the computer, exposed to blue light. 

Sheerscreen’s formula was made especially for those who have sensitive, normal to combination and oily to acne-prone skin and is similar to Supergoop's bestselling Unseen Sunscreen except it comes in a super sheer, physical sunscreen formula. The unique whipped texture instantly blends to a smooth, sheer finish on application and can double as a makeup-gripping primer.

Beauty fans, rejoice—Bite Beauty has finally made its debut on our shores. The well-loved US makeup brand is famous for its creamy lipsticks and now, we can finally try it out for ourselves. The brand is launching several products including eye, face and lip makeup. The brand has released its first cream blush that's packaged in an adorable pocket-sized bottle that you can squeeze to dispense however much product you need. Whether it's a sun-kissed look or a dewy glow you're going for—the texture is easy to play with and gives you a luminous glow. It can also be applied to the eyelids. 

On the topic of eye makeup, Bite Beauty has expanded its eye makeup collection with its new Upswing Full-Volume Mascara, which includes clean, vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free ingredients, including tree berry wax instead of beeswax. But that doesn't mean its performance is compromised. It delivers major volume and adds length, lifts and curls in an intense, black colour that will give your lashes the drama it needs. A plus point is that it is also smudge-proof. 

Another eye product is its Upswing Extreme Longwear Liquid Eyeliner, which is Bite Beauty's first eyeliner. Applying eyeliner can be a stressful experience for some but this product aims to remove the intimidation factor and ensures easy application. The colour payoff is jet black so creating a winged-eye or cat-eyed look will be precise and easy. This 12-hour longwear liquid eyeliner also features a dip format with an ultra-fine felt tip that deposits justthe right amountof product for a solid, super-pigmented black color payoff in one smooth swipe.

How do we express ourselves through makeup with face masks on, you ask? Why, through strong brows and flirty lashes, of course. Nudestix’s all-new Brow Boost & Set Gel XL, Vegan Splash-proof Mascara and Lash Lengthening Mascara can help ensure you keep your brow game strong alongside voluminous lashes. 

The Brow Boost & Set Gel is a long-lasting, medium hold clear gel that locks in and sets brows in place throughout the day. It is also made with 5% Peptide Complex, which strengthens eyebrows and increases hair density. It has also been clinically proven to increase hair density and thickness by 59 per cent in just four weeks. The gel, which is available in a universal tint, could be your brows' new best friend.

The two mascaras by Nudestix offer different purposes. First, besides being waterproof, the Vegan Splash-proof Mascara is also sweatproof as it makes sure your eyelashes stay clump-free all day. It is enriched with Argan Oil, Mango Seed Oil, Rice Bran Wax and Bamboo Extract and multi-vitamins that moisturise, strengthen and protect your lashes. The vegan-powered actives are gentle on natural lashes and can be removed with an oil-based cleanser.

The Lash Lengthening Mascara doubles up as a treatment mascara too, with 4% Tri-Peptide Booster Complex that has the ability to extend the physiological growth phase of lashes. With daily use, natural lashes can healthily grow longer and thicker. The mascara also comes in a rich creamy texture, which is best for those who have lash extensions and even falsies—an amazing feature, if you ask us. It can be easily removed using a gentle water-based cleanser.

All of these products are vegan and gluten-free too, which is great if you are keen on leading a more eco-conscious beauty routine.

The Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum, it is perfect for those struggling with redness and skin irritation that doesn't seem to go away. Ceramide has been the beauty industry's key players in the past few years so it makes sense for Glow Recipe to include the ingredient in one of their new products. This serum will protect and heal the skin thanks to its powerful and nourishing ingredients that include avocado extract and butter, ceramides, allantoin and rice milk. Use it all over the visage or on troubled spots using just one to two pumps.

Calming, balancing, strengthening, and soothing, the Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum is an absolute skin saver. Don't forget the neck area!

The Studio Fix Tech Cream-To- Powder Foundation glides smoothly on to the skin to create a second-skin look but don't worry about not being able to control the level of coverage.

British fragrance house Jo Malone has debuted a new fragrance collection themed around marmalade. Celine Roux, Global Head of Fragrance, said the limited-edition,
marmalade-inspired collection said she had thought about fragrances themed around jams and, in particular, marmalade.  

"Using seasonal fruits to create homemade preserves that you can gift to family and friends seems like such a quintessentially British pastime, conjuring up images of English breakfasts, high teas and village fêtes," Roux said in a press statement. 

The full collection is composed of five different scents: Tangy Rhubarb Cologne, Rose Blush Cologne, Orange Peel Cologne, Elderflower Cordial Cologne, and Blackberry & Bay Cologne. Natural fruit extracts were created specially for The Marmalade Collection by one of the UK’s leading soft fruit processors in Blairgowrie, Scotland. Usually used in the food industry, fruits and berries from local growers are steam distilled into draughts that are added directly to the fragrance. These extracts help to capture the true vibrancy of tart rhubarb and juicy blackberry.

"For me, Orange Peel is all about the balance of bitterness and sensuality. Tangy Rhubarb is unexpected and a little bit wild, but so very wearable. Rose Blush
is dewy fresh with a characteristic Jo Malone London twist," Roux added. 

Love collecting perfume bottles? These new bottle designs are absolutely covetable. They have been created exclusively for this collection, inspired by the shape and detailing seen on vintage marmalade jars. 

Available at all Jo Malone London boutiques, selected Sephora outlets and via the Jo Malone London Concierge Service.

Dolce&Gabbana Beauty adds an exquisite new floral member to its range of perfumes, Dolce Rose—a vivid and addictive Eau de Toilette catered to both the young and young at heart. 

The fragrance opens with vibrant top notes of fruits, setting the sweetness of crisp green apple and juicy mandarin against the tangy redcurrants. In the heart of the fragrance, succulent white peach joins this mouthwatering cocktail, leading the way to a floral bouquet of creamy magnolia petals and majestic rose. Two different rose notes bloom in harmony at the heart, giving the fragrance its unique signature. Rose centifolia superessence reveals the crisp and fresh facets of the flower, while rose absolute brings a more sensual and powdery quality—the iconic rose note.

This rich rose heart is counterbalanced by a background of soft musks, mingling with sandalwood and white woods to create an addictive sensuality. 

The perfume bottle shares the soft curves and elegant, feminine silhouette of the original Dolce scent, but now the glass takes on a luminous rosy hue, recalling the rose at the heart of the fragrance. The iconic flower cap is reimagined in vibrant red and the bottle is adorned with a thin black grosgrain ribbon, tied in an elegant bow— another signature of the Dolce line.

Available at the Dolce&Gabbana Beauty flagship store at Ion Orchard, at major department stores and in Sephora both in-store and online. 

Danish skincare brand Olehenriksen is now available in Singapore, bringing its daily skincare products including cult-favourite Banana Bright Eye Crème to Southeast Asia for the first time.

There are four main franchises for the brand: The Truth Collection (which includes Banana Bright Eye Crème and other Vitamin C-infused products); The Transform Collection; The Transform Plus Collection; and The Balance Collection.

In addition to his experience in skincare, Ole drew inspiration from a makeup artist must-have he observed during his years of on-camera work: banana powder. The well-kept secret of banana powder inspired Banana Bright Eye Crème and Banana Bright Face Primer, which provide a subtly sunny tint to instantly bring radiance to the entire complexion. So give your skin a little Hygge love.

The new Tom Ford Mediterranean Citrus Collection is a series of five transportive Private Blend fragrances capturing the vibrant luxury of the Italian coastal lifestyle—which is much needed now in a time when travel is restricted.

The scents remind one of where azure waters frame sunlit cliffs and terraced citrus groves; it is both uplifting and fresh, infused with florals and aromatics. With each exquisite scent, Tom Ford captures the aura of his favorite Italian destinations: Neroli Portofino and Neroli Portofino Acqua (Portofino); Mandarino di Amalfi (the Amalfi Coast); Fleur de Portofino (Portofino gardens) and Sole di Positano (Positano), while elevating the citrus note to the height of modern refinement. The collection is packaged in various shades of acqua, reminiscent of the waters of the Mediterranean sea.
