HERA Sensual Tint, $43
image

Ultra-versatile, this lip colour enables you to create literally any lip look you desire. Thanks to its high concentration of fine micro pigments in a lightweight cream texture, one coat of it cocoons lips in a conditioning veil while leaving lips dressed in vibrant colour. Best part? You can easily layer it on for a saturated effect or blend it out for a subtle, stained effect.

Plus, it is also made of adhesive jelly wax, which coats lips evenly and ensures that the colour payoff stays vibrant for hours. We also love the new applicator tip, which enables you to achieve precision effortlessly if you’re going for a bold look, or blend seamlessly for a gradient “just-bitten” effect.

Goutal Paris Oriental Hand Balm, $55 for 40ml

Touted as “a touch of poetry at your fingertips”, the brand’s latest hand care collection (of hand creams and hand washes) is the amalgamation of Korean skincare expertise with French fragrance savoir-faire as it teams up with K-beauty leader Amore Pacific to create these exquisite textures and scents.

Our favourite has to be the Oriental Hand Balm, which features a warm and sensual scent of amber. There’s lots to love about the packaging too, as it features botanical illustrations on a pastel apricot shade that echoes the brand’s heritage of respecting nature.

Plus, it comes in a handy 40ml tube which fits into any handbags for on-the-go hand care.
