Tom Ford Boys and Girls lipsticks

Published by

And they’re here. Tom Ford’s annual limited edition Lips & Boys extravaganza has been kicked up a notch with a collection of 50 Girls shades. Of course, they are inspired by his favourite girls such as Isamaya, Isla, Naomi and Scarlett. These shades are less pigmented than the ones in the Boys range. They are more sheer and translucent for everyday looks. Some can even be worn as a topper for a metallic sheen. Like the translucent Lily, sheer blue Isamaya, light purple Violet and bronze Amber; which lend the lips a luxurious finish. If you want shades that are brighter, go for the coral Isla, orange-red Scarlett, and bright red Naomi. These mini-sized lippies are always sold out quickly, because apart from the fab shades, the formula is moisturising, lustrous, and long-lasting.

Published by

So many years ago, the Laneige BB Cushion was the first ever cushion I fell for. It was easy to use and so convenient for touch-ups on-the-go, and gave my skin a beautiful glow. Now, I’m falling for it all over again, especially when it is blinged-up with super sparkly Swarovski Crystals. Watch the video below and check it out yourself. Available in the Whitening and Pore Control versions, that offer light to medium coverage, a cooling sensation, and give skin a healthy glow. $59 each, and in three shades. Buy it from Laneige boutiques.

Published by

Determined to expand its foothold in Singapore, Mamonde has opened its first physical retail presence in the city at Tangs VivoCity. It first launched its online store at Lazada in April.

With its beautiful spanish tiles and dark wooden shelves, the space is even more inviting for shoppers to check out their range of skincare and colour cosmetics. Watch this video for a 30-second virtual tour of the store. ​​

Shopping: Eve and Boy in Bangkok, Siam Square

Published by

The beauty selection at drugstores of each city says alot about its women and their grooming habits.  Judging by what’s available on the shelves at chains such as Boots and Watsons, Bangkok is the place to stock up on mass, colour cosmetics.  Thai women (and men) love their bold eyeshadows, lipsticks and full coverage foundation.  And because the per capita gross domestic product in Thailand is about US$6,000; US$5 options are aplenty in Bangkok’s beauty stores. So beauty junkies can pretty much expect a wide range of reasonably priced, highly pigmented cosmetics in this land of fabulous drag queens. Eve & Boy, sort of a Sephora equivalent but with both mass and high-end options, is a must-visit if you are keen to find out what’s trending on the faces of Thai ladies. Accented with neon lights, Eve & Boy is located at Siam Square.  Besides the regular big-name brands such as MAC, Origins, L’Oreal, Estee Lauder, Clinique, NYX and Maybelline; there are plenty of K-Beauty options as well as smaller Thai and American labels.  These …

Tom Ford Beauty’s new space at Robinsons Raffles City

Published by

The new and improved beauty floor of Robinsons Raffles City Singapore is giving the one at Tangs Orchard a run for its money.  The Robinsons store at City Hall has always been a crowd-puller due to its close proximity to the MRT station, and a rather good mix of F&B and retail tenants in the rest of the Raffles City Shopping Centre.  Now, the new Tom Ford Beauty counter at Robinsons Raffles City adds swank and class to the department store’s recently-expanded beauty floor. So you have one more option – apart from  Tom Ford Beauty at Tangs Orchard, and the Tom Ford flagship boutique at Marina Bay Sands – when you desperately need to stock up on the Private Blend juices and delectable lipsticks.
