There’s a reason this one keeps coming back. YSL Libre is the scent version of having your life together—clean, warm and quietly confident. It blends lavender with orange blossom and musk, making it feel fresh but grounded. The kind you wear to work, dinner or anywhere you want to smell like you made an effort without trying too hard.

This lip colour means business. One end gives you rich pigment that doesn’t move, and the other adds shine that makes it feel comfortable instead of dry. The Rosy Mauve shade is soft, flattering and goes with everything—from your everyday look to party makeup. Once it sets, it’s not going anywhere, even after a few festive snacks.

This serum has earned its reputation. Lancôme Génifique works on texture, glow and hydration with prebiotics, probiotics and hyaluronic acid. It feels light, sinks in fast and makes your skin look like it’s had a full night’s sleep. With regular use, your skin barrier gets stronger and your face just looks better.

This powder gets the job done without overdoing it. It sets your base, smooths everything out and leaves your skin looking bright but still real. The Cherry Blossom shade adds a soft pink tone that lifts your under-eye area and gives that awake, natural finish. It’s weightless, blends easily and never feels heavy.

If you like your brows to stay exactly where you left them, this is the one. The Benefit Brow Setter has a clear, flexible hold that keeps every hair in place without making them stiff. It gives that groomed look—the kind that instantly makes your face look more put-together. Ideal for no-makeup days or bold brow moments.

This SPF does more than just protect. It shields skin from UV, pollution and blue light while hydrating and soothing at the same time. It feels light on the skin, leaves no white cast and works well under makeup. The kind of sunscreen you’ll actually want to wear every day.

Your shortcut to good hair days. This cult-favourite spray detangles, softens and fights frizz in seconds. Infused with amino acids and tamarind seed extract, it leaves your hair smooth, shiny and easy to manage. Perfect after a wash or before styling, especially when winter air gets rough.

If a lip balm and a gloss had a baby, this would be their star child. It is packed with honey, propolis extract, camellia seed and damask rose oil—ingredients that intensely moisturise while shielding your lips from further damage. Rich in antioxidants, it also helps support the skin barrier. The shade ‘Rosy’ is the most pigmented of the range, offering a sheer pink tint that leaves lips looking juicy, plump, and oh-so-glossy.

A lip oil that does both—nourishes and shines. The TIRTIR My Glow Lip Oil gives a juicy, glassy finish while keeping lips soft and hydrated. The Rosy tint adds just enough colour to make you look fresh even without lipstick. Easy, glossy and effortless.

The viral blush that lives up to the hype. It delivers that fresh, post-run flush with a smooth, cooling texture that melts into skin. The finish? Natural, dewy, and just glossy enough to catch the light without looking shiny.

If you want that natural winter flush, this is it. The Love Cake shade melts into your skin for a soft, healthy glow that looks like it’s coming from within. It’s lightweight, blendable and gives just the right amount of colour. A few dabs on the cheeks and you’re good to go.

Black Honey is the moody-but-soft lip shade that went viral on TikTok, sold out globally and proved that ‘90s beauty is always in. Universally flattering, buildable and impossibly chic, it’s one of those ‘you, but cooler’ shades that’s never not on-trend.

Another viral favourite, you’ll love this one if you prefer a more subtle lip look. With a balmy, conditioning formula, it contains just a slight hint of pigment that is buildable to your preferred level. Its unique black honey shade is famous for flattering every skin tone and is ideal for everyday wear. Pick this one up for the gym, the office, or pair it up with a brown lip liner for dinner dates.

“This is the lipstick I grab without thinking when I want that second-skin feel. The color melts into my natural lip shade, so it looks like my lips with a subtle glossy glow. It keeps them soft too, so I skip balm. I wear it for everything from coffee runs to nights out and it always works. I already bought a backup. I don’t think I’ve ever finished a lipstick this fast.”

Niacinamide—you’ve probably heard the name more times than you’ve checked your DMs. But does this serum live up to the buzz? For us, it absolutely did. This lightweight, fast-absorbing serum is a multitasker’s dream. Niacinamide targets issues like excess oil, large pores and uneven skin tone, while zinc swoops in to calm inflammation. From the first week of use, we noticed a striking difference in texture and shine control (goodbye, mid-day T-zone grease). Perfect for combination-to-oily skin types, this serum could be your go-to if blackheads and redness have overstayed their welcome. Pro tip? Use it sparingly if you’re layering it with other actives, like vitamin C, to avoid irritation. ‍
