Skincare
Kpop Demon Hunters X Anua Ceramide Barrier Collagen Mask
Made for everyday use, this collagen mask goes beyond a quick glow to keep skin feeling comfortably healthy. It uses ceramide NP to support the skin barrier and help lock in moisture, while panthenol keeps things calm and soothed.
A blend of five peptides helps skin feel a little stronger and more resilient over time, and collagen adds a boost of hydration while improving the look of firmness.
With regular use, skin feels softer, balanced, and naturally fresh without any heaviness.
Get this for RM17 from Sephora.
Tatcha The Rice Wash Cleanser
A gentle, creamy cleanser that keeps skin feeling comfortable while clearing away the day. It lifts makeup, dirt and excess oil without stripping, leaving skin soft and fresh after every wash.
Hyaluronic acid and peptide-rich red algae work as moisture magnets, helping skin stay plump and hydrated, while Japanese rice powder smooths texture and brings out a subtle, healthy-looking glow over time.
The pH-balanced formula also forms a rich, satisfying foam, giving a proper cleanse that still respects the skin’s natural barrier. With regular use, skin looks clearer, softer and quietly more luminous.
Get this for RM194 (120ml) from Sephora.
Arencia Fresh Green Rice Mochi Cleanser
Formulated with Arencia’s fresh plant-based recipe, this foaming cleanser is designed to deeply purify while keeping skin feeling balanced and comfortable.

Gentle yet effective, it suits oily and breakout-prone skin, helping it feel clearer, softer and more refined without stripping away essential moisture.
Get this for RM105 from Sephora.
Fresh Sugar Melt Lip Cream
A creamy lip treatment that sits somewhere between skincare and colour, this formula gives a soft, juicy tint in one easy swipe.
It is infused with activated sugar, verbena phyto peptides and hyaluronic acid filling spheres, so lips feel cushioned and comfortably hydrated while looking smoother over time. The texture stays lightweight and non sticky, yet still clings just enough for that to live in shine.
Available in three shades, each one is designed to flatter in its own subtle way, from barely there washes to a slightly more noticeable pop of colour.

It uses zinc oxide to help shield against UV rays, while ceramide and allantoin keep your skin hydrated and barrier healthy. Panthenol adds a soothing touch, making it feel calming throughout the day.

It helps calm redness, soothe sensitivity and relieve chapped or cracked areas, especially when the weather starts to take a toll.
Despite its nourishing feel, it remains lightweight, non comedogenic and fragrance free, making it suitable for everyday use on sensitive skin.

Patrick Ta Artistry Edit Eyeshadow Palette
Matte eyeshadows are having a real moment again, especially the kind that feel soft, blendable and effortless rather than heavy or chalky.
Tapping into this shift is a collection of three matte eyeshadow palettes curated by Patrick, designed around versatile everyday neutrals that suit every skin tone. Each talc free palette features only six carefully selected shades, so every colour actually gets used.
The formula is non drying and infused with hyaluronic acid and moisturising squalane for a velvety soft finish on the lids. A unique pigment coating process also helps with smooth blending and true colour payoff, making it easy to create soft, modern eye looks without the effort.

It helps even out tone, smooth the look of pores and create a more refined canvas for makeup. Lightweight yet nourishing, it also helps the foundation sit better and last longer. Think of it as that first step that quietly upgrades your entire complexion.
Get each for RM259 (30ml) from Sephora.
Tarte Macaron Sculpt & Bronze Duo
Bronzing is no longer just about warmth, it is about sculpting with a soft, almost edible-looking finish that feels effortless on skin.
The Tarte Macaron Sculpt & Bronze Duo leans into that idea with a playful twist, pairing definition and glow in one compact. It is designed to subtly contour while adding a natural sun kissed dimension, so skin never looks flat or overdone.
The textures blend seamlessly for a smooth, second skin effect that enhances your features rather than masking them. Think of it as your shortcut to softly sculpted, lifted looking skin with a hint of warmth.

This thickening shampoo from OUAI is made for exactly that struggle, giving fine strands the boost they’ve been missing. It cleans without weighing hair down, while adding noticeable volume and bounce from the first wash.

Ouai Fine Hair Conditioner
Fine hair can be a little high-maintenance—too much conditioner and it falls flat, too little and it feels dry. This lightweight pick from OUAI finds that sweet spot. It hydrates just enough to keep strands soft and smooth, without that heavy, greasy finish that fine hair hates.
Think of it as your volume-friendly conditioner. With biotin to strengthen, chia seed oil to boost body, and hydrolysed keratin to smooth frizz and add shine, it helps hair feel healthier while still looking full and bouncy.
It’s colour-safe too, so you get all the benefits without compromising your shade, just soft, airy hair that actually holds its shape.

Fragrances
Carolina Herrera La Bomba Eau De Parfum
This new bottle design has been catching everyone’s attention—and it’s easy to see why. La Bomba arrives as a striking butterfly, symbolising transformation and freedom, with intricate glasswork in vibrant fuchsia and pink tones that feel almost jewel-like.
Inside, the scent is just as captivating. It opens with a juicy burst of exotic pitaya, before blooming into a floral heart of red frangipani and cherry peony. As it settles, a warm touch of solar vanilla wraps everything together, leaving behind a radiant, feel-good trail that’s both playful and sensual.
Get this for RM370 (30ml), RM530 (50ml), or RM680 (80ml) from Sephora.
Armani Beauty Oud Nacré Eau De Parfum
Oud fragrances can sometimes feel heavy, but this one takes a more refined, couture-inspired turn.
Oud Nacré reimagines the note through a softer, more luminous lens, drawing inspiration from pearls and the elegance of Armani Privé’s Haute Couture.
It opens with a warm, slightly spicy saffron accord before unfolding into a delicate contrast of jasmine grandiflorum and rich oud. As it settles, patchouli from Guatemala adds a subtle chocolatey depth, while Ambrox leaves a smooth, addictive trail.
The result feels polished and modern—still unmistakably oud, but with a lighter, more radiant edge that lingers beautifully on skin.
Get this for RM1,700 (100ml) from Sephora.
Armani Beauty Power Of You Eau de Parfum
Some fragrances just sit pretty on your vanity, but this one demands attention. Housed in a striking ruby toned, jewel like bottle, Power of You is all about stepping into your presence and owning it.
The scent feels bold yet addictive, designed to be the one you keep reaching for every day. It wraps you in a confident, slightly exotic trail that feels elegant without being overwhelming.
Think of it as your final touch before heading out, leaving a lasting impression that lingers long after you’ve left the room.
Get this for RM400 (50ml) from Sephora.
Frédéric Malle Unveils Contre-Jour Eau de Parfum
This fragrance feels like it was designed to resist definition, unfolding in a way that is both luminous and slightly mysterious. Inspired by the Mediterranean Everlasting Flower, it captures that contrast between sunlit brightness and deeper, more untamed shadows.
On the skin, it opens with a subtly spicy, almond like facet that feels unexpected but inviting. As it develops, an intense rose absolute emerges, adding richness and a hint of edge rather than softness alone. The composition is grounded by smooth sandalwood oil, which gives it warmth and structure while amplifying its quiet intrigue.
The overall scent feels modern and unconventional, shifting between light and dark in a way that keeps it intriguing throughout wear.
