1 / 6 Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick If a high colour payoff lipstick and a conditioning lip gloss had a baby, Fenty ‘s Gloss Bomb Stix would be it. She’s rich. She’s creamy.
She’s endlessly glossy thanks to nourishing, moisture-locking ingredients of vitamin E, shea butter and squalane. Swipe this on for lacquered lips that feel utterly plump, comforted and alive with colour. For the ultimate combo, pair with Fenty Beauty’s waterproof Trace’d Out Pencil Lip Liner.

While that might sound like a tall order, it is precisely what you get with the recently reformulated Clé de Peau Beauté Radiant Powder Foundation; a skincare-infused, luminosity-granting powerhouse that clings on for up to 24 hours. In fact, it’s safe to say that a large part of its appeal lies in its buildability—its feather-light formula grants a sheer glow when lightly patted on, but can be built in layers to obscure imperfections in the vein of acne and hyperpigmentation. Another plus point: its hydrating capabilities that eradicates the emergence of dry, flaky patches that tend to crop up for myself in air-conditioned environments.

Leave it to Dolce&Gabbana to dream up an invigorating update to its reigning woody classic—the Light Blue eau de toilette. Meet the limited edition of the Light Blue Summer Vibes, which combines all the fresh, sensual allure of its original scent with a lilting, fruity touch of Calabrian bergamot.
A generous spritz every morning, and my mind is sent into a soothing state of calm. Doesn’t hurt that this edition comes dressed in a stunning majolica print, making it a gorgeous addition to the vanity table. — Azrin Tan, senior digital writer Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue Summer Vibes Eau de Toilette, $188 for 100ml, available at Sephora 4 / 6 Urban Jungle Dust It Off Exfoliating Powder At first glance, its powder formula appears baffling.
But once you learn how to use it, you get a versatile and gentle exfoliator. They get a bad reputation for stripping moisture away, but this was not the case for this one. I find that it nourishes my skin as it effectively exfoliates it, and the lack of fragrance and harsh scrubbing ingredients mean that it’s also great for dry and sensitive skin.
The best part about the dispenser? You have full control over the consistency and amount, so you can decide how much suits your skin type. Personally, I find a thumbprint sized amount of powder mixed into a paste goes a long way on problem areas. —Nathalia Kelana, beauty intern Urban Jungle Dust It Off Exfoliating Powder, $34 for 42g, available at Sephora 5 / 6 Urban Jungle Hemp Day Clay Mask Indulge in Urban Jungle’s smooth, cooling, and refreshingly soothing clay mask, infused with the rejuvenating powers of hemp and matcha.
Designed to be left on for 20 minutes, this mask defies the typical drying and hardening of traditional clay masks, even past the recommended instructions. Instead, it remains comfortably pliant, ensuring a gentle and non-abrasive wash-off process. And after rinsing, your skin is bound to feel exquisitely soft, glowing, and revitalised.
This mask is the perfect weekly indulgence for those seeking to elevate their skincare game. — Helaine Ercia, digital intern Urban Jungle Hemp Day Clay Mask, $32 for 110g, available at Sephora 6 / 6 Clarins Lip Oil Balm Who can forget the cult lip oil from Clarins that took the internet by storm? Now the formula has manifested itself in the form of a balm. Arguably easier to be applied, the Clarins Lip Oil Balm boasts a plethora of plant oils like jojoba, hazelnut and sweetbriar rose that nourishes and guards your lips from dehydration.
A single swipe leaves on a moisturising, glossy sheen, especially useful considering I’ve always been at odds with my dry, chapped lips. What I do appreciate as well is its colour delivery—with six shades to choose from—the fig in particular is plum, rich and luscious. Now, a foolproof essential stowed away in my bag.
